MIRAMAR LABS, INC.
Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing our proprietary microwave technology platform.
Our first commercial product, the miraDry System, is designed to ablate axillary, or underarm, sweat glands through the precise and non-invasive delivery of energy to the region where sweat glands reside. The energy generates heat which results in thermolysis of the sweat glands. At the same time, a continuous hydro-ceramic cooling system protects the superficial dermis and keeps the heat focused at the sweat glands. Because sweat glands do not regenerate after the treatment, we believe the results are lasting. Microwaves are the ideal technology as the energy can be focused directly at the fat and dermal junction where the glands reside.
We developed the miraDry System to safely, noticeably, and measurably reduce the sweat in the underarm for patients with sweat ranging from excessive to average. In our pivotal clinical trial involving 120 patients in the United States, or the U.S., 89% of patients experienced significant reduction in their sweat with no serious adverse events reported. There have been several published clinical studies, collectively involving more than 150 patients, conducted by us and independent physicians which have evaluated the efficacy of the miraDry treatment in reducing sweat in the underarm.
We received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in January 2011 and received CE mark approval in December 2013 to market the miraDry procedure for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis, or a condition characterized by abnormal sweating in excess of that required for regulation of body temperature. Additionally, we have received approval of the miraDry treatment in several other countries since our FDA clearance in 2011.
The miraDry System consists of a console and a handheld device which uses consumable single-use bioTips. We sell our miraDry System and bioTips to our customers, consisting of dermatologists, plastic surgeons, aesthetic specialists and physicians specializing in the treatment of hyperhidrosis.
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition of varying degree in which a person sweats excessively. A study published by Strutton et al. in June 2004 in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, titled “US prevalence of hyperhidrosis and impact on individuals with axillary hyperhidrosis: Results from a national survey,” estimated that 2.8% of the general population has hyperhidrosis (defined as excessive or abnormal sweating in this paper), 50.8% of which has axillary hyperhidrosis. Another publication (Hornberger et al, published in the February 2004 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology) provides a consensus guideline for the diagnosis
of hyperhidrosis that would include anyone who is bothered by their sweat. This definition expands the potential market into the aesthetic space.
We developed the miraDry treatment to provide patients with a safe, effective, non-invasive, and durable procedure to selectively ablate underarm sweat glands for both severely hyperhidrotic patients and those that are bothered by their underarm sweat. The miraDry treatment is clinically proven to significantly reduce sweat in a one or more 60-minute procedures, allowing most patients to achieve immediately noticeable and durable results without the pain, expense, downtime, or repeat visits associated with surgical and other minimally-invasive procedures. The sweat glands in the treated area are ablated through targeted heating of the tissue, and because the body does not regenerate sweat glands, we believe the results will be lasting, although some patients may need to repeat the miraDry procedure to achieve the lasting results. Due to these advantages, we believe that the miraDry treatment is appealing to a wide range of individuals seeking a lasting solution to underarm sweat.
In addition, the miraDry procedure is not technique-dependent, does not require significant training or skill for the treatment provider, and the user-interface guides the provider through each step of the procedure for each treatment. The user-friendly nature of the miraDry System allows our physician customers to easily delegate the treatment to physician assistants and nurse practitioners thereby freeing up their time for other physician-dependent procedures.
We selectively market the miraDry System to dermatologists, plastic surgeons, aesthetic specialists and those physicians specializing in the treatment of hyperhidrosis who express a willingness to position miraDry as a premium and differentiated treatment and participate in our global marketing and support programs. Aesthetic specialists are physicians who elect to offer aesthetic procedures as a significant part of their practices but are not board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons.
We intend to market the miraDry System to physician practice sites on a global basis. We utilize our direct sales organization to market and sell the miraDry System in our North American market, which includes the United States and Canada. In our markets located outside of North America, we market and sell the miraDry System through a network of distributors.
Physicians can market the miraDry treatment as a premium, highly-differentiated, non-surgical sweat reduction procedure. Based on our commercial data, we believe physicians can recoup their capital expenditures within 12 months on average, assuming modest use of the miraDry System. We are approved to sell the miraDry System in over 40 international markets outside of North America, including countries in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and South America.
We generate revenues from sales of our miraDry System and from the sales of bioTips which are required for use for each miraDry procedure performed. We generated revenues of $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Capital system sales comprised 54% and consumable sales comprised 42% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 55% and 42%, respectively, of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016. We had net losses of approximately $14.5 million and $13.1 million for the period ending December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
We are driving growth in miraDry procedures in North America through our physician marketing programs, which provide physicians with sales training, practice marketing, and support services. After we establish a significant installed base of miraDry Systems in specific markets, we plan to use targeted consumer marketing, advertising, and promotional activities in these markets to increase demand for the miraDry System.
Our business is dependent upon the success of the miraDry treatment, and we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in significantly expanding physician demand for the miraDry System and patient demand for the miraDry treatment. In addition, we will continue to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future as we expand our commercialization and other business activities, and as a result, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to achieve or maintain our profitability.
Risks Associated with our Business
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this Prospectus summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
|
•
|
We have limited operating experience and a history of net losses, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability.
|
|
|
•
|
We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and maintain profitability.
|
|
|
•
|
We may not be able to correctly estimate or control our future operating expenses, which could lead to cash shortfalls.
|
|
|
•
|
It is difficult to forecast our future performance, which may cause our financial results to fluctuate unpredictably.
|
|
|
•
|
We are dependent upon the success of the miraDry treatment, which has a limited commercial history. If the market acceptance for the miraDry treatment fails to grow significantly, our business and future prospects will be harmed.
|
|
|
•
|
Our ability to market the miraDry treatment in the United States is limited to the treatment of sweat and hair in the underarm, and if we want to expand our marketing claims, we will need to obtain additional FDA clearances or approvals, which may not be granted.
|
|
|
•
|
Our success depends on growing physician adoption and use of the miraDry System.
|
|
|
•
|
If there is not sufficient patient demand for miraDry procedures, our financial results and future prospects will be harmed.
|
|
|
•
|
Our success depends in part upon patient satisfaction with the effectiveness of the miraDry treatment.
|
|
|
•
|
We have limited experience with our direct sales and marketing force and any failure to build and manage our direct sales and marketing force effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business.
|
|
|
•
|
We depend on third-party distributors to market and sell the miraDry System in markets outside of North America and we may not be able to exercise sufficient control over these distributors.
|
|
|
•
|
In order to successfully market and sell miraDry Systems in markets outside of North America, we must address many issues with which we have limited experience.
|
|
|
•
|
Our inability to effectively compete with our competitors may prevent us from achieving significant market penetration or improving our operating results.
|
|
|
•
|
We and our third-party manufacturing partners have limited experience in producing the miraDry System and its accessories and components, and if we are unable to manufacture our miraDry System in high-quality commercial quantities successfully and consistently to meet demand, our growth will be limited.
|
|
|
•
|
We outsource the manufacturing of key elements of our miraDry System and bioTips to single-source third-party manufacturers.
|
Corporate Information
We were incorporated in Nevada as Spacepath, Inc. on December 28, 2012, and subsequently changed our name to KTL Bamboo International Corp. on March 18, 2015. On June 7, 2016, we reincorporated in Delaware as Miramar Labs, Inc.
On June 7, 2016, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Miramar Acquisition Corp., a corporation formed in the State of Delaware on June 2, 2016, or the Acquisition Sub, merged with and into Miramar Technologies, Inc., a corporation incorporated in April 2006 in the State of Delaware originally under the name of Miramar Labs, Inc., which changed its name to Miramar Technologies Inc. on June 2, 2016, and is referred to herein as Miramar. On June 7, 2016, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, or the Merger Agreement, with the Acquisition Sub and Miramar. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub merged with and into Miramar, which was the surviving corporation and thus became our wholly-owned subsidiary, or the Merger. All of the outstanding capital stock of Miramar was converted into shares of our common stock.
In connection with the Merger and pursuant to the split-off agreement and a general release agreement, or the Split-Off Agreement, we transferred our pre-Merger assets and liabilities to our pre-Merger majority stockholder, in exchange for the surrender by and cancellation of 3,603,602 shares of our common stock, or the Split-Off. Upon the closing of the Merger, we discontinued our pre-Merger business and acquired the business of Miramar and will continue the existing business operations of Miramar as a publicly-traded company under the name Miramar Labs, Inc.
On June 7, 2016, in connection with the Merger, our board of directors changed our fiscal year from a fiscal year ending on July 31 to one ending on December 31 of each year, which was the fiscal year of Miramar.
On June 7, 2016, we entered into a subscription agreement, or the Subscription Agreement, with certain accredited investors, providing for the issuance and sale to such investors of an aggregate of 1,978,567 shares of common stock issued and sold to accredited investors in a private placement offering in a series of closings on June 7, 2016, June 30, 2016, July 21, 2016 and August 8, 2016, at a purchase price per share of $5.00 and for aggregate gross proceeds to us of approximately $9.9 million, or the Private Placement. Katalyst Securities LLC and The Benchmark Company, LLC served as co-exclusive placement agents, or, along with their sub-agents, the Placement Agents, for the Private Placement.
The Subscription Agreement also contains certain anti-dilution provisions. Those anti-dilution provisions provide that, subject to certain exceptions, if we issue and sell Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents at a purchase price per share of lower than $5.00 within the six month period following June 7, 2016, each investor in the Private Placement shall be entitled to receive such number of additional shares of our common stock as they would have received had such lower purchase price per share been applicable in the Private Placement.
At the closings of the Private Placement we issued to the Placement Agents and their designees, warrants, or the Placement Agent Warrants, to acquire up to 17,504 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Each of the Placement Agent Warrants is exercisable at any time at the option of the holder until the five-year anniversary of its date of issuance. Our authorized capital stock currently consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (OTCQB) under the symbol “MRLB,” which changed from “KTLC” on June 15, 2016.
Our principal executive offices are located at 2790 Walsh Avenue, Santa Clara, California 95051. Our telephone number is (408) 579-8700. Our website address is www.miramarlabs.com. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not a part of this Prospectus.
We continue to be a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, following the Merger. As a result of the Merger, we have ceased to be a shell company, as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.
Unless otherwise stated or the context clearly indicates otherwise, the “Company,” the “Registrant,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Miramar Labs, Inc., incorporated in Delaware, after giving effect to the Merger and the Split-Off.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.0 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.
In addition, Section 102 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An “emerging growth company” can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, we are choosing to “opt out” of the extended transition periods available under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
For certain risks related to our status as an emerging growth company, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Common Stock and the Offering — We are an emerging growth company and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.”

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks are realized, in whole or in part, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business and Strategy
We have limited operating experience and a history of net losses, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability.
We have a limited operating history and have focused primarily on research and development, clinical trials, product engineering, building our manufacturing capabilities, and seeking regulatory clearances and approvals to market our first product, the miraDry System. We have incurred significant net losses since our inception, including net losses of approximately $14.5 million in 2015, $15.3 million in 2014, $13.9 million in 2013, and $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $106.5 million. As disclosed in the audit report for the year ended December 31, 2015, these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will continue to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future as we expand our sales and marketing, research and development, and clinical and regulatory activities. We may never generate sufficient revenues to achieve or sustain profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability. Further, because of our limited operating history and because the market for products that treat sweat-bothered individuals is rapidly evolving, we have limited insight into the trends or competitive products that may emerge and affect our business. We may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends, which could harm our business. Before investing, investors should consider an investment in our common stock in light of the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage medical technology companies in rapidly evolving markets such as ours. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks, and the failure to adequately do so could cause our business, results of operations, and financial condition to suffer.
We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve profitability.
Our revenue grew 7% in 2015 as compared to 2014. We generated revenue of $17.2 million in 2015 as compared to $16.1 million in 2014. Our revenues were $11.7 million and $8.0 million for the six months ended, June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This represented approximately 46% increase in revenue year over year for the two quarters. We expect to generate substantially all of our revenue in the future from sales of our miraDry System and related consumable bioTip product. We may be unable to generate sufficient revenue in the United States or in other countries to generate sufficient cash for operation or to cause the price of our stock to increase. Our revenue growth is subject to various risks such as:
|
|
•
|
difficulties in expanding our marketing efforts to develop new relationships and expand existing relationships with customers;
|
|
|
•
|
difficulties in managing our current international operations;
|
|
|
•
|
difficulties in receiving clearance or approval for our miraDry System in new markets or for new indications in existing markets;
|
|
|
•
|
difficulties securing adequate financing that enables us to invest in and grow the business;
|
|
|
•
|
increased competition in the United States and in other countries;
|
|
|
•
|
the absence of reimbursement for the miraDry system and procedure through government or private health insurance;
|
|
|
•
|
potential international arbitrage opportunities for our disposable bioTip products (i.e., we may choose to sell the bioTip products into certain countries at lower prices and if individuals or entities buy them in such countries and resell them at higher prices in other countries, it may reduce the amount that we sell into countries where we can charge higher prices); and
|
|
|
•
|
uncertainty global economic conditions.
|
If we are unable to increase our revenue, we may be unable to generate enough cash to support our operations. We may be required to raise more capital and that will result in dilution for our stockholders. There can be no assurance that future capital will be available to us at all or on attractive terms. If we are unable to grow our revenue, our operations may suffer, we may need to raise more capital and our stock price may decline as a result.
We may not be able to correctly estimate or control our future operating expenses, which could lead to cash shortfalls.
Our operating expenses may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors include:
|
|
•
|
our commercialization strategy and whether the revenues from sales of our miraDry System and the sales of our disposable bioTip product will be sufficient to offset the expenses we incur in connection with our commercialization activities;
|
|
|
•
|
the time, resources, and expense required to develop and conduct clinical trials and seek additional regulatory clearances and approvals for additional treatment indications for the miraDry treatment and for any additional products we develop;
|
|
|
•
|
the costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending, and enforcing patent claims and other patent related costs, including litigation costs and the results of such litigation;
|
|
|
•
|
any product liability or other lawsuits related to our products and the costs associated with defending them or the results of such lawsuits;
|
|
|
•
|
the costs to attract and retain qualified personnel;
|
|
|
•
|
the costs associated with being a public company; and
|
|
|
•
|
general economic, industry and market conditions.
|
Our budgeted expense levels are based in part on our expectations concerning future revenue from the miraDry System. We may be unable to reduce our expenditures in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfalls in revenue. Accordingly, a significant shortfall in market acceptance or demand for the miraDry treatment could have an immediate and material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.
It is difficult to forecast our future performance, which may cause our financial results and our stock price to fluctuate unpredictably.
Our limited operating history and the rapid evolution of the markets for medical technology products make it difficult for us to predict our future performance and our stock price. A number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, may contribute to fluctuations in our financial results, such as:
|
|
•
|
physician demand for purchasing miraDry Systems may vary from quarter to quarter;
|
|
|
•
|
the inability for physicians to obtain any necessary financing;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in the length of the sales process;
|
|
|
•
|
performance of our international distributors;
|
|
|
•
|
positive or negative media coverage of the miraDry treatment, the procedures or products of our competitors, or our industry;
|
|
|
•
|
our ability to maintain our current or obtain further regulatory clearances or approvals;
|
|
|
•
|
seasonal or other variations in patient demand for procedures that treat hyperhidrosis;
|
|
|
•
|
introduction of new procedures or products that compete with the miraDry treatment;
|
|
|
•
|
any intellectual property infringement lawsuit or opposition, interference or cancellation proceeding in which we may become involved;
|
|
|
•
|
the amount and timing of costs and expenses related to the maintenance and expansion of our business and operations;
|
|
|
•
|
the hiring, training and retention of key employees, including our ability to expand our sales team; and
|
|
|
•
|
adverse changes in the economy that reduce patient demand for elective procedures.
|
We are dependent upon the success of the miraDry treatment, which has a limited commercial history. If the market acceptance for the miraDry treatment fails to grow significantly, our business and future prospects will be harmed.
We commenced commercial sales of the miraDry System for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by abnormal sweating in excess of that required for regulation of body temperature, and which we refer to as being “sweat-bothered,” in the United States in 2012 and in Japan in 2011. We expect that the revenues we generate from sales of our miraDry System and bioTips will account for substantially all of our revenues for the next several years. Accordingly, our success depends on the acceptance among physicians and patients of the miraDry procedure as a preferred treatment for being sweat-bothered. Although we have received FDA clearance to market the miraDry treatment for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis in the United States and are approved or are otherwise free to market the miraDry treatment in over 40 international markets, the degree of market acceptance of the miraDry treatment by physicians and patients is unproven. We believe that market acceptance of the miraDry treatment will depend on many factors, including:
|
|
•
|
the perceived advantages or disadvantages of the miraDry System compared to other products and
|
treatments;
|
|
•
|
the safety and efficacy of the miraDry System relative to other products and alternative treatments;
|
|
|
•
|
the price of the miraDry System relative to other products and alternative treatments;
|
|
|
•
|
our success in expanding our sales and marketing organization;
|
|
|
•
|
the effectiveness of our marketing, advertising, and commercialization initiatives;
|
|
|
•
|
the development and publication of long-term clinical data in peer-reviewed journals supporting the long term efficacy of the miraDry treatment;
|
|
|
•
|
our ability to obtain regulatory clearance to market miraDry for additional treatment indications in the United States and other international markets;
|
|
|
•
|
education of physicians, especially general practitioners and dermatologists, regarding alternative treatments for sweat-bothered patients through key opinion leaders and product demonstrations at conferences, physician offices and webinars; and
|
|
|
•
|
the success of patient education through direct-to-consumer marketing campaigns that utilize social media outlets and testimonials.
|
We cannot guarantee that the miraDry treatment will achieve broad market acceptance among physicians and patients. Because we expect to derive substantially all of our revenue for the foreseeable future from sales of miraDry Systems and the sale of our disposable bioTip products, any failure of this product to achieve meaningful market acceptance will harm our business and future prospects.
Our ability to market the miraDry treatment in the United States is limited to the treatment of sweat and hair in the underarm, and if we want to expand our marketing claims, we will need to obtain additional FDA clearances or approvals, which may not be granted.
We currently only have FDA clearance to market the miraDry treatment in the United States for the treatment of primary hyperhidrosis of the axilla, or the under arm, and for hair reduction procedures in the axilla. This clearance restricts our ability to market or advertise the miraDry treatment for other specific body areas, and other conditions such as underarm odor, which could limit physician adoption and patient demand for the miraDry treatment. We believe that future applications of the miraDry treatment could be used to treat other body areas, such as the feet and hands, where patients experience sweat-bothered symptoms. Developing and promoting these new treatment applications for our miraDry System is an element of our growth strategy, but we cannot predict when or if we will receive the clearances required to implement these additional products and applications. In addition, we will be required to conduct additional clinical trials or studies to support our applications, which may be time-consuming and expensive, and may produce results that do not result in submission of, or FDA clearances for, new treatment applications. In the event that we do not obtain additional FDA clearances, our ability to promote the miraDry treatment in the United States will be limited. Currently, we are in the process of obtaining FDA clearance to market the miraDry System for the treatment of underarm odor reduction. Because we anticipate that sales in the United States will continue to be a significant portion of our business for the foreseeable future, ongoing restrictions on our ability to market the miraDry treatment in the United States could harm our business and limit our revenue growth.
Our success depends on growing physician adoption and use of the miraDry System.
Our ability to increase the number of physicians willing to make a significant capital expenditure to purchase our miraDry System and make the miraDry treatment a significant part of their practices depends on the success of our sales and marketing programs. We must be able to demonstrate that the cost of our miraDry System and the revenue that a physician can derive from performing miraDry procedures are compelling, and the treatments are durable, when compared to the costs, revenues and durability of treatments associated with alternative treatments, such as Botox, that the physician may offer. Alternative treatments may be invasive, minimally-invasive, or non-invasive and we must, in some cases, overcome a bias against procedures such as miraDry for treatment of hyperhidrosis, principally from those physicians prescribing non-invasive procedures such as clinical-strength antiperspirants and Botox. In addition, we believe our marketing programs will be critical in driving demand for additional miraDry procedures, but these programs require physician commitment and involvement to succeed. If we are unable to increase physician adoption and use of miraDry, our financial performance will be adversely affected.
If there is not sufficient patient demand for miraDry procedures, our financial results and future prospects will be harmed.
The miraDry procedure is an elective procedure, the cost of which must be borne by the patient, and is not currently reimbursable through government or private health insurance. The decision to undergo a miraDry procedure is thus driven by patient demand, which may be influenced by a number of factors, such as:
|
|
•
|
the success of our sales and marketing programs;
|
|
|
•
|
the extent to which our physician customers recommend the miraDry treatment to their patients;
|
|
|
•
|
our success in attracting consumers who have not previously sought treatment for being sweat-bothered;
|
|
|
•
|
the extent to which our miraDry procedure satisfies patient expectations;
|
|
|
•
|
development and publication of clinical data supporting the long-term efficacy of the miraDry procedure;
|
|
|
•
|
our ability to properly train our physician customers in the use of the miraDry System such that their patients do not experience excessive discomfort during treatment or adverse side effects;
|
|
|
•
|
the cost, safety, and effectiveness of the miraDry treatment versus other sweat-bothered treatments;
|
|
|
•
|
consumer sentiment about the benefits and risks of procedures to treat being sweat-bothered generally and the miraDry treatment in particular;
|
|
|
•
|
the success of any direct-to-consumer marketing efforts we initiate; and
|
|
|
•
|
general consumer confidence, which may be impacted by economic and political conditions.
|
Our financial performance will be materially harmed in the event we cannot generate significant patient demand for the miraDry treatment.
Our success depends in part upon patient satisfaction with the effectiveness of the miraDry treatment.
In order to generate repeat and referral business, patients must be satisfied with the effectiveness of the miraDry treatment. On the whole, our clinical studies demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the miraDry procedure. Over 70,000 miraDry procedures have been performed as of June 30, 2016, and some patients have experienced side effects. The most common side effects that occur regularly are localized swelling, redness and discomfort that
typically last less than a week. Less common side effects are swelling in the arm or torso, darkening of skin in the treatment area, soreness in the shoulders and arms due to procedure positioning, numbness or tingling in the arm due to the anesthesia (lasting less than 24 hours), and a tight band under the arm. Rare side effects (less than 1% of all procedures) that have been reported are altered sweating elsewhere on the body, small blisters or rashes in the treatment area, temporary altered sensation or tingling in the forearm or fingers, weakness in the arm or fingers, pain in the arm or fingers, infections, abscesses, ulcerations and burns. These events resolve over time but sometimes need intervention (for example, antibiotics). We have not been able to confirm in all cases that all side effects completely resolve. If patients are not satisfied with the benefits of the miraDry treatment, feel that the risks do not outweigh the benefits, feel that the procedure does not provide lasting or long-term results, or is too expensive for the results obtained, our reputation and future sales will suffer.
We have limited experience with our direct sales and marketing force and any failure to build and manage our direct sales and marketing force effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We rely on a direct sales force to sell the miraDry System in our North American market, which includes the United States and Canada. In order to meet our anticipated sales objectives, we expect to grow our direct sales and marketing organization in these countries significantly over the next several years and intend to opportunistically build a direct sales and marketing force in certain international markets. There are significant risks involved in building and managing our sales and marketing organization, including risks related to our ability to:
|
|
•
|
hire qualified individuals as needed;
|
|
|
•
|
generate sufficient leads within our target physician group for our sales force;
|
|
|
•
|
provide adequate training for the effective sale and marketing of the miraDry treatment;
|
|
|
•
|
retain and motivate our direct sales and marketing professionals; and
|
|
|
•
|
effectively oversee geographically dispersed sales and marketing teams.
|
Our failure to adequately address these risks could have a material adverse effect on our ability to increase sales and use of our miraDry Systems, which would cause our revenues to be lower than expected and harm our results of operations.
We depend on third-party distributors to market and sell the miraDry System in markets outside of North America and we may not be able to exercise sufficient control over these distributors.
We currently depend exclusively on third-party distributors to sell, market, and service our miraDry Systems in markets outside of North America and to train our physician customers in such markets. We may need to engage additional third-party distributors to expand in new markets outside of North America. We are subject to a number of risks associated with our dependence on these third parties, including:
|
|
•
|
we lack day-to-day control over the activities of third-party distributors;
|
|
|
•
|
third-party distributors may not commit the necessary resources to market, sell, and service the miraDry Systems to the level of our expectations;
|
|
|
•
|
third-party distributors may not be as selective as we would be in choosing physicians to purchase miraDry Systems or as effective in training physicians in marketing and patient selection;
|
|
|
•
|
third-party distributors may terminate their arrangements with us on limited, or no, notice or may change the terms of these arrangements in a manner unfavorable to us;
|
|
|
•
|
disagreements with our distributors could require or result in costly and time-consuming litigation, arbitration or re-registrations which we could be required to conduct in jurisdictions with which we are not familiar;
|
|
|
•
|
two of our distributors individually accounted for greater than 10% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and we may not be to replace these sales if our relationship with either distributor is terminated; and
|
|
|
•
|
we have granted favorable credit terms to certain distributors and in some cases, we may not be able to collect the entire amount owed to us if the distributor is terminated or otherwise suffers an adverse event beyond our control.
|
If we fail to establish and maintain satisfactory relationships with our third-party distributors, our revenues and market share may not grow as anticipated, and we could be subject to unexpected costs which would harm our results of operations and financial condition.
In order to successfully market and sell miraDry Systems in markets outside of North America, we must address many issues with which we have limited experience.
Sales in markets outside of North America accounted for approximately 57% of our revenue for the year ended 2015 and for the six months ended June 30, 2016. We believe that a significant percentage of our business will continue to come from sales in markets outside of North America through increased penetration in countries where we currently market and sell the miraDry System through our third-party distributor network, combined with expansion into new international markets. However, international sales are subject to a number of risks, many of which we may have limited experience with, including:
|
|
•
|
difficulties in staffing and managing our international operations;
|
|
|
•
|
increased competition as a result of more products and procedures receiving regulatory approval, or otherwise being free to market in international markets;
|
|
|
•
|
longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;
|
|
|
•
|
reduced or varied protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
|
|
|
•
|
export restrictions, trade regulations, and foreign tax laws;
|
|
|
•
|
fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
|
|
|
•
|
foreign certification and regulatory clearance or approval requirements;
|
|
|
•
|
difficulties in developing effective marketing campaigns in unfamiliar foreign countries;
|
|
|
•
|
customs clearance and shipping delays;
|
|
|
•
|
political, social, and economic instability abroad, terrorist attacks, and security concerns in general; and
|
|
|
•
|
the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and different legal standards.
|
If one or more of these risks were realized, it could require us to dedicate significant financial and management resources and our revenue may decline.
Our inability to effectively compete with our competitors may prevent us from achieving significant market penetration or improving our operating results.
The medical technology products market is highly competitive and dynamic, and is characterized by rapid and substantial technological development and product innovation. Demand for the miraDry treatment could be reduced by the products and technologies offered by our competitors. The least invasive competing product is clinical strength antiperspirant. Some patients elect to have surgery to remove their sweat glands. Additionally, in the United States, the FDA has approved the marketing of Botox for the treatment of severe axillary hyperhidrosis and there are several other botulinum toxin drugs in clinical studies for the same indication. Also, the FDA has cleared the PrecisionTX laser treatment manufactured by Cynosure, Inc. for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis.
Other companies that manufacture aesthetic medical devices produce energy modulators that could be used in new products to enter this market and compete with the miraDry System.
Many of our competitors are large, experienced companies that have substantially greater resources and brand recognition than we do. Competition in the medical technology markets could result in price-cutting, reduced profit margins, and limited market share, any of which would harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We and our third-party manufacturing partners have limited experience in producing the miraDry System and its accessories and components, and if we are unable to manufacture our miraDry System in high-quality commercial quantities successfully and consistently to meet demand, our growth will be limited.
Prior to receiving FDA clearance in 2011, we manufactured our miraDry System in limited quantities sufficient only to meet the needs of our clinical studies. We currently manufacture our miraDry System and related accessories, including the consumable bioTips, through a combination of direct manufacturing at our facility in Santa Clara, California and through third-party manufacturers. Currently, we manufacture the console and handpiece in-house and complete final assembly of the bioTips in-house. To manufacture our miraDry System in the quantities that we believe will be required to meet anticipated market demand, we and our third-party manufacturers will need to increase manufacturing capacity, which will involve significant challenges, including compliance with quality system regulations which are strictly enforced by regulatory authorities, and may require additional regulatory approvals. Neither we nor our third-party manufacturers may be able to successfully complete a required increase to existing manufacturing processes in a timely manner, or at all.
If there is a disruption to our or our third-party manufacturers’ operations, we will have no other means of producing our miraDry Systems until we restore the affected facilities or develop alternative manufacturing facilities. Our systems and those of our third-party manufacturers may experience service interruptions, denial-of-service attacks and other cyber-attacks that interrupt operations and cause system failures which may result in loss of revenue and significant expenses to repair or replace damaged equipment and remedy resultant data loss or corruption. Additionally, any damage to or destruction of our or our third-party manufacturers’ facilities or equipment may significantly impair our ability to manufacture miraDry Systems on a timely basis. Some of our manufacturing facilities are located in California in areas with a high risk of major earthquakes. A major earthquake could damage our operations, delay production or interrupt the supply of critical components of the miraDry System.
If we or our third-party manufacturers are unable to produce miraDry Systems in sufficient quantities to meet customer demand, our revenues, business, and financial prospects would be harmed. The lack of experience we and our manufacturing partners have in producing commercial quantities of our miraDry System may also result in quality issues, and result in product recalls. Manufacturing delays related to quality control could negatively impact our ability to bring our miraDry System and bioTips to market, harm our reputation, and decrease our revenues. Any recall could be expensive and generate negative publicity, which could impair our ability to market our miraDry System and further affect our results of operations.
We outsource the manufacturing of key elements of our miraDry System and bioTips to single-source third-party manufacturers.
Broadband Wireless, LLC manufactures the amplifiers used with our miraDry System in Reno, Nevada. In addition, our bioTips are manufactured by Healthcare Technology International Limited, headquartered in Hong Kong. These single source suppliers of these critical components may not be replaced without significant effort and delay in production. If the operations of these manufacturers are interrupted or if they are unable to meet our delivery requirements due to capacity limitations or other constraints, we may be limited in our ability to fulfill customer orders or to repair equipment at current customer sites. A disruption with these contract manufacturers would entail significant delay, require us to devote substantial time and resources, and could involve a period in which our products could not be produced in a timely or consistently high-quality manner, any of which could harm our reputation and results of operations.
Our manufacturing operations and those of our key third-party manufacturers are dependent upon third-party suppliers, making us vulnerable to supply shortages and price fluctuations, which could harm our business.
Our miraDry System contains critical components and we do not have supply agreements with many suppliers of these components beyond purchase orders. Although we maintain a safety stock of inventory for critical components equal to one to two quarters of forecasted part requirements, such forecasted amounts may be inaccurate and we may experience shortages as a result of serious supply problems with these suppliers. In addition, several other non-critical components and materials that comprise our miraDry System are currently manufactured by a limited number of suppliers. In many of these cases, we have not yet qualified alternate suppliers and rely upon purchase orders, rather than long-term supply agreements. A supply interruption or an increase in demand beyond our current suppliers’ capabilities could harm our ability to manufacture our miraDry System until new sources of supply are identified and qualified. Our reliance on these suppliers subjects us to a number of risks that could harm our business, including:
|
|
•
|
interruption of supply resulting from modifications to or discontinuation of a supplier’s operations;
|
|
|
•
|
delays in product shipments resulting from uncorrected defects, reliability issues, or a supplier’s variation in a component;
|
|
|
•
|
a lack of long-term supply arrangements for key components with our suppliers;
|
|
|
•
|
inability to obtain adequate supply in a timely manner, or to obtain adequate supply on commercially reasonable terms;
|
|
|
•
|
difficulty and cost associated with locating and qualifying alternative suppliers for our components in a timely manner;
|
|
|
•
|
production delays related to the evaluation and testing of products from alternative suppliers, and corresponding regulatory qualifications;
|
|
|
•
|
delay in delivery due to our suppliers prioritizing other customer orders over ours;
|
|
|
•
|
damage to our brand reputation caused by defective components produced by our suppliers;
|
|
|
•
|
increased cost of our warranty program due to product repair or replacement based upon defects in components produced by our suppliers; and
|
|
|
•
|
fluctuation in delivery by our suppliers due to changes in demand from us or their other customers.
|
Any interruption in the supply of components or materials, or our inability to obtain substitute components or materials from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner, could impair our ability to meet the demand of our customers, which would have an adverse effect on our business.
We forecast sales to determine requirements for components and materials used in our miraDry System and bioTips, and if our forecasts are incorrect, we may experience delays in shipments or increased inventory costs.
We try to keep inventory on hand sufficient to support one to two quarters of miraDry System and bioTips sales. To manage our operations with our third-party manufacturers and suppliers, we forecast anticipated product orders and material requirements to predict our inventory needs and enter into purchase orders on the basis of these requirements. Several components of our miraDry System, such as those to generate microwave energy, require an order lead time of up to seven months. Our limited historical commercial experience and rapid growth may not provide us with enough data to consistently and accurately predict future demand. In the future we will need to develop processes to ensure the components received from suppliers are manufactured to specification and that if there is a component change or a component becomes unavailable that a supplier can accurately inform us in a timely manner of the change or unavailability of the component. We cannot guarantee the integrity of our supply chain and if components received are not to specification, it will negatively impact our reputation and business. If our business expands, our demand for components and materials may increase beyond our estimates and our manufacturers and suppliers may be unable to meet our demand. In addition, if we underestimate our component and material requirements, we may have inadequate inventory, which could interrupt, delay, or prevent delivery of our miraDry System to our customers. In contrast, if we overestimate our component and material requirements, we may have excess inventory, which would increase our expenses. Any of these occurrences would negatively affect our financial performance and the level of satisfaction our physician customers have with our products.
Even though our miraDry System is marketed solely to physicians, there exists a potential for misuse, which could harm our reputation and our business.
We and our independent distributors market and sell miraDry solely to physicians. In some cases, our physician customers directly supervise nurse practitioners, technicians, and other non-physicians, who may be allowed to perform miraDry procedures. Although we and our distributors provide training on the use of miraDry Systems, we do not supervise the procedures performed, nor can we be assured that direct physician supervision of procedures occurs according to our recommendations. The potential misuse of our miraDry System by physicians and non-physicians may result in adverse treatment outcomes and adverse patient events, which could harm our reputation and expose us to costly product liability litigation. For example, doctors may misuse our products by utilizing a single application bioTip on multiple patients, which decreases efficacy of the bioTip and exposes other patients to bodily fluids and related biological hazards which creates safety risks for the patients. We could become involved in litigation in the future as a result of physician misuse and any such litigation would consume resources and negatively impact our financial results and harm our results of operations.
Product liability suits could be brought against us due to defective design, labeling, material, or workmanship, or misuse of our miraDry System, and could result in expensive and time-consuming litigation, payment of substantial damages, an increase in our insurance rates and substantial harm to our reputation.
If our miraDry System is defectively designed, manufactured, or labeled, contains defective components, or is misused, we may become subject to substantial and costly litigation by our physician customers or their patients. Misusing our miraDry System or failing to adhere to operating guidelines can cause skin damage and underlying tissue damage and, if our operating guidelines are found to be inadequate, we may be subject to liability. Furthermore, if a patient is injured in an unexpected manner or suffers unanticipated adverse events after undergoing a miraDry procedure, even if the procedure was performed in accordance with our operating guidelines, we may be subject to product liability claims. Product liability claims could divert management’s attention from our core business, be expensive to defend, and result in sizable damage awards against us. We currently have product liability insurance, but it may not be adequate to cover us against potential liability. In addition, we may not be able to maintain insurance in amounts or scope sufficient to provide us with adequate coverage against all potential liabilities. Any product liability claims brought against us, with
or without merit, could increase our product liability insurance rates or prevent us from securing continuing coverage, could harm our reputation, and reduce product sales. Product liability claims in excess of our insurance coverage would be paid out of cash reserves, harming our financial condition and reducing our operating results.
Third parties may attempt to produce counterfeit versions of our products and may harm our ability realize revenue, negatively affect our reputation, or harm patients and subject us to product liability.
The bioTip is designed to be a single-use product and produce individual revenue for each miraDry procedure performed. Third parties may seek to develop counterfeit miraDry Systems, components and bioTips and make them available to practitioners at lower prices than our own. If security features incorporated into the design of our miraDry System are unable to prevent the introduction of counterfeit components, we may not be able to monitor the number of procedures performed using our miraDry System. We have taken certain measures to design our miraDry console to only recognize our bioTip product and not those designed by counterfeiters, but there can be no guarantee that this design feature will prevent such misuse. We plan to use patent enforcement and physician education to decrease the impact of counterfeit products on our business and reputation, but all such efforts may be inadequate or unsuccessful. In addition, if counterfeit products are used with or in place of our own, we could be subject to product liability lawsuits resulting from the use of damaged or defective goods and suffer damage to our reputation.
We depend on personnel that are skilled, experienced and uniquely educated and trained in the disciplines of microwave technologies to operate our business effectively. If we are unable to recruit, hire, and retain these employees, our ability to manage and expand our business will be harmed, which would impair our future revenue and profitability.
Our success largely depends on the skills, experience, and efforts of our executive officers and other key employees. We do not have employment contracts with any of our executive officers or other key employees that require these officers to stay with us for any period of time. Any of our executive officers and other key employees may terminate their employment with us at any time. The loss of any of our executive officers and other key employees could weaken our management expertise and harm our business operations. We only maintain key man insurance for our chief executive officer.
In addition, our ability to retain our skilled employees and our success in attracting and hiring new skilled employees will be a critical factor in determining whether we will be successful in the future. We may not be able to meet our future hiring needs or retain our existing employees. We will face significant challenges and risks in hiring, training, managing, and retaining sales and marketing, product development, financial reporting, and
regulatory compliance employees, many of whom are geographically dispersed. Failure to attract and retain personnel, particularly our sales and marketing, product development, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance personnel, would materially harm our ability to compete effectively and grow our business.
We may need to raise additional funds in the future, and such funds may not be available on a timely basis, or at all.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenues from sales of our miraDry System and sales of our disposable bioTip products, we will be required to finance our operations with our cash resources. We may need to raise additional funds in the future to support our operations. We cannot be certain that additional capital will be available as needed or on acceptable terms, or at all. If we require additional capital at a time when investment in our Company, in medical technology companies or the marketplace in general is limited, we may not be able to raise such funds at the time that we desire, or at all. If we do raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible securities, the percentage ownership of holders of our common stock could be significantly diluted and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, and the terms of the debt securities issued could impose significant restrictions on our operations. If we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we could be required to relinquish significant rights to our technologies, and products or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.
Our ability to use net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards to offset future tax liabilities may be limited.
As of December 31, 2015, we had net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, to offset future taxable income of approximately $82.6 million, and $66.8 million for federal and state income taxes, which expire in various years beginning in 2026, if not utilized. We also have state and federal tax credit carryforwards that will begin to expire in 2026. A lack of future taxable income would adversely affect our ability to utilize these NOLs and tax credit carryforwards. In addition, under Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, or the Code, a corporation that experiences a more-than 50% ownership change over a three-year testing period is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income. If we have undergone an ownership change in the past or undergo an ownership change in connection with or after the Offering, our ability to utilize NOLs and tax credit carryforwards could be further limited by Section 382 of the Code. Future changes in our stock ownership, many of the causes of which are outside of our control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code. Our NOLs and tax credit carryforwards may also be impaired under state law. As a result of these limitations, we may not be able to utilize a material portion of our NOLs and tax credit carryforwards.
Our loan and security agreement with Oxford Finance LLC, or Oxford, and Silicon Valley Bank, together with Oxford, the Lenders, contain covenants that may restrict our business and financing activities.
As of June 30, 2016, we had approximately $10 million in outstanding debt to the Lenders. Borrowings under our loan and security agreement with the Lenders are secured by substantially all of our assets (other than our intellectual property) including a pledge of the equity securities of certain of our subsidiaries, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. The agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause which set forth circumstances under which the lender could accelerate repayment, including upon the lender’s good faith judgment that (i) we will not be able to satisfy its payment obligations as they become due, (ii) none of our principal investors intends to fund such amounts as may be necessary to enable us to satisfy our payment obligations, or (iii) there is a material impairment in the perfection or priority of the lender’s security interest in the collateral subject to the loan
agreement. These may result in the acceleration of payment terms on all outstanding principal and interest plus a prepayment fee.
Our loan and security agreement restricts our ability to, among other things:
|
|
•
|
grant liens on our assets;
|
|
|
•
|
merge with or acquire other entities or assets;
|
|
|
•
|
make loans and investments;
|
|
|
•
|
enter into transactions with affiliates;
|
|
|
•
|
pay off subordinated indebtedness; and
|
|
|
•
|
permit the aggregate value of the assets held by one of our subsidiaries from exceeding 10% of our and our subsidiaries’ total assets.
|
The covenants in our loan and security agreement, as well as in any future financing agreements into which we may enter, may restrict our ability to finance our operations and engage in, expand or otherwise pursue our business activities and strategies. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, and future breaches of any of these covenants could result in a default under our loan and security agreement. If not waived, future defaults could cause all of the outstanding indebtedness under our loan and security agreement to become immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.
If we do not have or are unable to generate sufficient cash available to repay our debt obligations when they become due and payable, either upon maturity or in the event of a default, we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all, which may negatively impact our ability to operate and continue our business as a going concern.
We face risks related to the current global economic environment, which could delay or prevent our customers from purchasing miraDry Systems, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The state of the global economy continues to be uncertain. The current global economic conditions and uncertain credit markets and concerns regarding the availability of credit pose a risk that could impact customer and patient demand for the miraDry System, as well as our ability to manage normal commercial relationships with our customers, suppliers and creditors, including financial institutions. If the current global economic environment deteriorates, our business could be negatively affected.
Risks Related to Regulation
The regulatory clearance and approval process is expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain, and the failure to obtain and maintain required regulatory clearances and approvals could prevent us from
commercializing our miraDry System and any future products we develop.
We are investing in the research and development of new products and procedures based on our proprietary technology platform. Our products are subject to 510(k) clearance by the FDA prior to their marketing for commercial use in the United States, and to any approvals required by foreign governmental entities prior to their marketing outside the United States. In addition, if we make any changes or modifications to our miraDry System that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or would constitute a change in its intended use, we would be required to obtain new regulatory clearance or approvals. For example, we will be required to submit new 510(k) applications to expand our ability to market the miraDry treatment for use on other areas of the body.
The 510(k) clearance processes, as well as the process for obtaining foreign approvals, can be expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain. We anticipate that the direct clinical study costs to support a 510(k) application for a new indication for the miraDry treatment will range from $0.5 million to $2.0 million. In addition to the time required to conduct clinical trials, it generally takes from four to twelve months from submission of an application to obtain 510(k) clearance; however, it may take longer, and 510(k) clearance may never be obtained.
Outside of the United States, the regulatory process can be complex and requires enlisting local resources to help obtain regulatory clearance and approvals. For example, in Brazil, Canada, China, the European Union, Israel, Korea and Taiwan, we rely on third party agents to apply for and hold the license for our products. In Australia, Chile, Colombia, Peru, the Philippines, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey and other Middle Eastern countries, we rely on distributors to obtain the necessary approvals to market and sell our products. In Japan, we rely on physicians to import our products and the Japanese government could require that we obtain additional approvals. In the process of obtaining regulatory approvals in many different countries we need to understand many different laws, rules and regulations and if we are unable to navigate the regulatory regime outside the United States successfully, we may not obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to market and sell our products or our product approval may be revoked.
Delays in receipt of, or failure to obtain, clearances or approvals for any product enhancements or new products we develop would result in delayed, or no, realization of revenues from such product enhancements or new products and in substantial additional costs which could decrease our profitability.
In addition, we are required to continue to comply with applicable FDA and other regulatory requirements once we have obtained clearance or approval for a product. There can be no assurance that we will successfully maintain the clearances or approvals we have received or may receive in the future. Our clearances can be revoked if safety or effectiveness problems develop. Any failure to maintain compliance with FDA and applicable international regulatory requirements could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We will be subject to significant liability if we are found to have improperly promoted the miraDry treatment for off-label uses.
The FDA strictly regulates the promotional claims that companies make for FDA-cleared products. In particular, a product may not be promoted for any uses that are not cleared by the FDA as reflected in the product’s approved labeling. Our current FDA clearance only permits marketing of the miraDry treatment in the United States to people 18 years or older for the treatment of primary hyperhidrosis of the axilla, or the under arm, and for underarm hair reduction. We are aware that the miraDry System is used by our physician customers on other parts of the body and on younger patients. If we are found to have inappropriately marketed for such off-label uses, we may become subject to significant liability. Regulators in the United States have levied large civil and criminal fines against companies for alleged improper promotion and entered agreements with several companies that require cumbersome reporting and oversight of sales and marketing practices. The FDA has also requested that companies enter into consent decrees or permanent injunctions under which specified promotional conduct is changed or curtailed.
Our miraDry System is not FDA-cleared or approved for use in areas outside of the axilla. Our sales force does not promote the use of our products for off-label indications, and our U.S. instructions for use specify that our miraDry System is not intended for use in areas outside of the axilla. However, we cannot prevent a physician from using our miraDry System for off-label applications, such as treatment of a patient’s groin, hands or back.
The miraDry treatment may cause or contribute to adverse medical events that we are required to report to the FDA, and if we fail to do so, we could be subject to sanctions that would materially harm our business.
FDA regulations require that we timely file a Medical Device Report, or MDR, to report certain information about adverse medical events if our medical devices may have caused or contributed to those adverse events. The timing of our obligation to report is triggered by the date we become aware of the adverse event as well as the nature of the event. We may fail to report adverse events we become aware of within the prescribed timeframe. We may also fail to appreciate that we have become aware of a reportable adverse event, especially if it is not reported to us as an adverse event or if it is an adverse event that is unexpected or removed in time from the use of our products. If we fail to comply with our reporting obligations, the FDA could take enforcement action against us including issuing a Warning Letter that could generate adverse publicity, the imposition of civil monetary penalties, revocation of our device clearance or approval, seizure of our products, criminal prosecution or delay in approval or clearance of future products.
From inception to October 7, 2016, we have filed a total of 147 MDRs. In a recent inspection report from the FDA, there were two observations regarding a deficiency in reporting of adverse events. To correct these observations, we revised our internal operating procedures and re-trained our personnel. We reviewed all adverse medical events that have been reported to us and filed more MDRs with the FDA. The FDA will review the new procedures and our corrective actions at the time of the next inspection. Our corrective actions may not be adequate to address the FDA’s observations, and the FDA could take action including criminal prosecution, the imposition of civil monetary penalties, revocation of our device clearance or approval, seizure of our products, or delay in approval or clearance of future products.
We are currently, and in the future our contract manufacturers may be, subject to various governmental regulations related to the manufacturing of the miraDry System and bioTips, and we may incur significant expenses to comply with, experience delays in our product commercialization as a result of, and be subject to material sanctions if we or our contract manufacturers violate these regulations.
Our manufacturing processes and facilities are required to comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or the QSR, which covers the procedures and documentation of the design, testing, production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, sterilization, storage, and shipping of our devices. Although we believe we are compliant with the QSRs, the FDA enforces the QSR through periodic announced or unannounced inspections of manufacturing facilities. We have been, and anticipate in the future being, subject to such inspections, as well as to inspections by other federal and state regulatory agencies. We are required to register our manufacturing facility with the FDA and list all devices that are manufactured. We are also required to have a valid license with the California Food and Drug Branch. We also are an ISO 13485 certified facility and annual audits are required to maintain that certification. The suppliers of our components are also required to comply with the QSR and are subject to inspections. We have limited ability to ensure that any such third-party manufacturers will take the necessary steps to comply with applicable regulations, which could cause delays in the delivery of our products. Failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements, or later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products or manufacturing processes, including our failure or the failure of one of our third-party manufacturers to take satisfactory corrective action in response to an adverse QSR inspection, can result in, among other things:
|
|
•
|
administrative or judicially-imposed sanctions;
|
|
|
•
|
injunctions or the imposition of civil penalties;
|
|
|
•
|
recall or seizure of our products;
|
|
|
•
|
total or partial suspension of production or distribution;
|
|
|
•
|
the FDA’s refusal to grant future clearance or pre-market approval for our products;
|
|
|
•
|
withdrawal or suspension of marketing clearances or approvals;
|
|
|
•
|
refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and
|
|
|
•
|
criminal prosecution of us or our employees.
|
Any of these actions, in combination or alone, could prevent us from marketing, distributing, or selling our products and would likely harm our business.
In addition, a product defect or regulatory violation could lead to a government-mandated or voluntary recall by us. Regulatory agencies in other countries have similar authority to recall devices because of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture that could endanger health. Any recall would divert management attention and financial resources, could expose us to product liability or other claims, including contractual claims from parties to whom we sold products and harm our reputation with customers. A recall involving our miraDry System would be particularly harmful to our business and financial results and, even if we remedied a particular problem, would have a lasting negative effect on our reputation and demand for our products.
As a corrective action from a recent FDA inspection of our facility, we conducted a Class II recall, commonly called a field correction, in which we have provided a revised user manual to all customers in the United States. The revision in the manual includes a new warning about the type of skin lubricant that must be used when performing a miraDry procedure. We were required to conduct a similar field correction in certain countries, such as Taiwan, where our distributors sell the miraDry System. In certain other countries, such as the European Union and Canada, we were required to notify the regulatory agency of the update to the manual.
Legislative or regulatory healthcare reforms may make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain regulatory clearance or approval of our products and to produce, market, and distribute our products after clearance or approval is obtained.
From time to time, legislation is drafted and introduced in the U.S. Congress that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing the regulatory clearance or approval, manufacture, and marketing of regulated products or the reimbursement thereof. In addition, FDA regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the FDA in ways that may significantly affect our business and our products. For example, in the future, the FDA may require more burdensome premarket approval of our procedures rather than the 510(k) clearance process we have used to date and anticipate primarily using in the future. Our miraDry System is also subject to state regulations which are, in many instances, in flux. Any new regulations or revisions or reinterpretations of existing regulations may impose additional costs or lengthen review times of our products. We cannot determine what effect changes in regulations, statutes, legal interpretation or policies, when and if promulgated, enacted or adopted may have on our business. Such changes could, among other things, require:
|
|
•
|
changes to manufacturing methods;
|
|
|
•
|
recall, replacement, or discontinuance of certain products; and
|
|
|
•
|
additional record keeping.
|
Each of these would likely entail substantial time and cost and could materially harm our financial results. In addition, delays in receipt of, or failure to receive, regulatory clearances or approvals for our new products would harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Federal and state governments in the United States are also undertaking efforts to control growing health care costs through legislation, regulation, and voluntary agreements with medical care providers, and third-party payors. Congress enacted comprehensive health care reform legislation known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, or the PPACA. While the PPACA primarily involves expanding coverage to more individuals, it also includes new regulatory mandates and other measures designed to constrain medical costs.
We may be subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to health care fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback, self-referral, false claims, and fraud laws, and any violations by us of such laws could result in fines or other penalties.
Our commercial, research, and other financial relationships with healthcare providers and institutions may be subject to various laws intended to prevent health care fraud and abuse. Broad federal and state anti-kickback laws prohibits the offer, receipt, or payment of remuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients or the use of products or services that would be paid for in whole or part by federal and state health care programs or private payors. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash, improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. Violations of these broad laws can result in substantial civil and criminal penalties.
Regulatory authorities have aggressively targeted medical technology companies for alleged violations of these anti-fraud statutes, based on improper research or consulting contracts with doctors, certain marketing arrangements that rely on volume-based pricing, off-label marketing schemes, and other improper promotional practices. Companies targeted in such prosecutions have paid substantial fines in the hundreds of millions of dollars or more, have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and have often become subject to consent decrees severely restricting the manner in which they conduct their business. If we become the target of such an investigation or prosecution based on our contractual relationships with providers or institutions, or our marketing and promotional practices, we could face similar sanctions which would materially harm our business.
Also, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws of other countries generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Some of our distribution partners are located in parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. We cannot guarantee that our internal control policies and procedures will protect us from reckless or negligent acts committed by our employees, distributors, partners, or agents. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could result in fines, penalties, or prosecution and have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and reputation.
We are subject to numerous environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, and must maintain licenses or permits, and non-compliance with these laws, regulations, licenses, or permits may expose us to significant costs or liabilities.
We are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state, and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations relating to, among other matters, safe working conditions and environmental protection, including those governing the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation, and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials. Some of these laws and regulations require us to obtain licenses or permits to conduct our operations. Environmental laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. If we violate or fail to comply with these laws, regulations, licenses, or permits, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. We cannot predict the impact on our business of new or amended laws or regulations or any changes in the way existing and future laws and regulations are interpreted or enforced, nor can we ensure we will be able to obtain or maintain any required licenses or permits.
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
If we are unable to obtain, maintain, and enforce intellectual property protection covering our miraDry System and bioTips, others may be able to make, use, or sell products substantially the same as ours, which could adversely affect our ability to compete in the market.
Our commercial success is dependent in part on obtaining, maintaining, and enforcing our intellectual property rights, including our patents. If we are unable to obtain, maintain, and enforce intellectual property protection covering our miraDry System and bioTips, others may be able to make, use, or sell products that are substantially the same as ours without incurring the sizeable development and licensing costs that we have incurred, which would adversely affect our ability to compete in the market.
We intend to obtain and maintain patents and other intellectual property rights to restrict the ability of others to market products that compete with our products. As of June 30, 2016, our patent portfolio is comprised of 20 issued U.S. patents, 50 issued foreign counterpart patents, 10 pending U.S. patent applications, 39 pending foreign counterpart patent applications, and one pending patent applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), each of which we own directly. However, patents may not be issued on any pending or future patent applications we file and, moreover, issued patents owned or licensed to us now or in the future may be found by a court to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable. Also, even if our patents are determined by a court to be valid and enforceable, they may not be drafted or interpreted sufficiently broadly to prevent others from marketing products and services similar to ours or designing around our patents, and they may not provide us with freedom to operate unimpeded by the patent rights of others.
We have a number of foreign patents and applications, and expect to continue to pursue patent protection in the jurisdictions in which we do or intend to do business. However, the laws of some foreign jurisdictions do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws in the U.S., and many companies have encountered significant difficulties in obtaining, protecting, and defending such rights in foreign jurisdictions. If we encounter such difficulties or we are otherwise precluded from effectively protecting our intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions, our business prospects could be substantially harmed. The patent positions of medical technology companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions for which important legal principles remain unresolved. No consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims allowed in patents in these fields has emerged to date in the U.S. or in many foreign jurisdictions. Both the U.S. Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit have made, and will likely continue to make, changes in how the patent laws of the U.S. are interpreted. Similarly, foreign courts have made, and will likely continue to make, changes in how the patent laws in their respective jurisdictions are interpreted. In addition, the U.S. Congress is currently considering legislation that would change provisions of the patent law. We cannot predict future changes U.S. and foreign courts may make in the interpretation of patent laws or changes to patent laws which might be enacted into law by U.S. and foreign legislative bodies. Those changes may materially affect our patents, our ability to obtain patents or the patents and applications of our collaborators and licensors.
Future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain because legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep our competitive advantage, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. For example:
|
|
•
|
others may be able to make systems or devices that are similar to ours but that are not covered by the claims of our patents;
|
|
|
•
|
our pending patent applications may not result in issued patents;
|
|
|
•
|
our issued patents may not provide us with any competitive advantages or may be held invalid or unenforceable as a result of legal challenges by third parties;
|
|
|
•
|
the claims of our issued patents, or patent applications when issued, may not cover our miraDry System or the future products we develop;
|
|
|
•
|
there may be dominating patents relevant to our technology of which we are not aware;
|
|
|
•
|
there may be prior public disclosures that could invalidate our inventions, or parts of our inventions, of which we are not aware;
|
|
|
•
|
the laws of foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S.; and
|
|
|
•
|
we may not develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable.
|
From time to time, we analyze our competitors’ products and services, and may in the future seek to enforce our patents or other rights to counter perceived infringement. However, infringement claims can be expensive and time-consuming. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that the patent we seek to enforce is invalid or unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that the patent in question does not cover the competitor’s technology. An adverse result in any litigation could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly. Similarly, some of our competitors may be able to devote significantly more resources to intellectual property litigation, and may have significantly broader patent portfolios to assert against us if we assert our rights against them. Finally, because of the substantial discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be disclosed or otherwise compromised during this type of litigation.
If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information and know-how, the value of our technology and products could be adversely affected.
We rely on trade-secret protection to protect our interests in proprietary know-how and processes for which patents are difficult or impossible to obtain or enforce. For example, there are trade secrets related to the manufacturing of certain portions of our disposable bioTip products, the assembly and programming on the amplifier in our miraDry console and the tuning of certain components of our handpiece. We may not be able to protect our trade secrets adequately. We have limited control over the protection of trade secrets used by our third-party manufacturers and suppliers. Although we use reasonable efforts to protect our trade secrets, our employees, consultants, contractors and outside scientific advisors may unintentionally or willfully disclose our information to competitors. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and is using any of our trade secrets is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the U.S. are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. We rely, in part, on non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and other parties to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary technology. These agreements may be breached and we
may not have adequate remedies for any breach. We may now or in the future incorporate open source software in our products’ firmware. Open source software licenses can be ambiguous, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed to require us to disclose or publish, in source code form, some or all of our proprietary firmware code. Any disclosure of confidential information into the public domain or to third parties could allow our competitors to learn our trade secrets and use the information in competition against us, which could adversely affect our competitive advantage.
Our miraDry System and any future products or services we develop could be alleged to infringe patent rights of others, which may require costly litigation and, if we are not successful, could cause us to pay substantial damages or limit our ability to commercialize our products.
Our commercial success depends on our ability to develop, manufacture, and market our miraDry System without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of third parties. As the medical technology industry expands and more patents are issued, the risk increases that there may be patents issued to third parties that relate to our products and technology of which we are not aware or that we must challenge to continue our operations as currently contemplated. Our products may infringe or may be alleged to infringe these patents.
In addition, because patent applications in the U.S. and many foreign jurisdictions are typically not published until eighteen months after filing (or, in some cases, are not published until they issue as patents) and because publications in the scientific literature often lag behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that others have not filed patent applications for technology covered by our issued patents or our pending applications. Another party may have filed, and may in the future file, patent applications covering our products or technology similar to ours. Any such patent application may have priority over our patent applications or patents, which could further require us to obtain rights to issued patents covering such technologies. If another party has filed a U.S. patent application on inventions similar to ours, we may have to participate in an interference proceeding declared by the Patent and Trademark Office, or PTO, to determine priority of invention in the U.S. The costs of these proceedings could be substantial, and it is possible that such efforts would be unsuccessful if the other party had independently arrived at the same or similar invention prior to our own invention, resulting in a loss of our U.S. patent position with respect to such inventions.
There is substantial litigation involving patent and other intellectual property rights in the medical technology industry generally. If a third party claims that we infringe its intellectual property rights, we may face a number of issues, including, but not limited to:
|
|
•
|
infringement and other intellectual property claims which, regardless of merit, may be expensive and time-consuming to litigate and may divert our management’s attention from our core business;
|
|
|
•
|
substantial damages for infringement, which we may have to pay if a court decides that the product at issue infringes on or violates the third party’s rights, and if the court finds that the infringement was willful, we could be ordered to pay treble damages and the patent owner’s attorneys’ fees;
|
|
|
•
|
a court prohibiting us from selling or licensing our products unless the third party licenses its product rights to us, which it is not required to do at a commercially reasonable price, or at all;
|
|
|
•
|
if a license is available from a third party, we may have to pay substantial royalties, upfront fees or grant cross-licenses to intellectual property rights for our products; and
|
|
|
•
|
redesigning our products or processes so they do not infringe, which may not be possible, or may require substantial monetary expenditures and time, during which our products may not be available for sale.
|
Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. Even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses, and could distract our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments and if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Finally, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock and the Offering
There is not now, and there may never be, an active, liquid and orderly trading market for our common stock, which may make it difficult to sell shares of our common stock.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc.’s over-the-counter inter-dealer quotation system, known as OTC Markets, and there is not now, nor has there been since our inception, any significant trading activity in our common stock or a market for shares of our common stock, and an active trading market for our shares may never develop or be sustained. As a result, investors in our common stock must bear the economic risk of holding those shares for an indefinite period of time. We do not now, and may not in the future, meet the initial listing standards of any national securities exchange, and our common stock may be quoted on the OTC Market’s or another over-the-counter quotation system for the foreseeable future. In these marketplaces, our stockholders may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of their shares of our common stock, and may find few buyers to purchase their stock and few market makers to support its price. As a result of these and other factors, investors may be unable to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price for which they purchased them, at or near quoted bid prices, or at all. Further, an inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling additional equity in the future, and may impair our ability to enter into strategic partnerships or acquire companies or products by using shares of our common stock as consideration.
Our stock price may be volatile and investors may lose all or a part of their investment.
The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and is likely to continue to be volatile. Among the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate are the risks described in this “Risk Factors” section and other factors, including:
|
|
•
|
fluctuations in our operating results or the operating results of our competitors;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in estimates of our financial results or recommendations or cessation of coverage by securities analysts;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in the estimates of the future size and growth rate of our market opportunity;
|
|
|

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for medical technology companies in particular, may experience a loss of investor confidence. A loss of investor confidence may result in extreme price and volume fluctuations in our common stock that are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of our business, financial condition or results of operations. These broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our common stock and expose us to securities class-action litigation. Class-action litigation, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and divert management’s attention and resources, which could further materially harm our financial condition and results of operations.
Our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC, and the trading market in our common stock is limited, which makes transactions cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.
Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, establishes the definition of a “penny stock” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks in accordance with the provisions of Rule 15g-9; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased, provided that any such purchase shall not be effected less than two business days after the broker or dealer sends such written agreement to the investor.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (i) obtain financial information, investment experience and investment objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which: (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) in highlight form, confirms that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute
transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our common stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, the commissions payable to both the broker or dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks. As a result, if our common stock becomes subject to the “penny stock” rules, it may be more difficult to execute trades of our common stock which may have an adverse effect on the liquidity of our common stock.
FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted rules requiring that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative or low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA has indicated its belief that there is a high probability that speculative or low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. These FINRA requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that at least some of their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the ability of our stockholders to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market for and the price of our common stock.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish, or cease publishing, research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and any trading volume could decline.
Any trading market for our common stock that may develop will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business, markets or competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on us or our business. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our stock would be negatively affected. If securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, and one or more of those analysts downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business or our market, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and any trading volume to decline.
We may have material liabilities that were not discovered before, and have not been discovered since, the closing of the Merger.
As a result of the Merger, the prior business plan and management relating to KTL Bamboo International Corp. was abandoned and replaced with the business and management team of Miramar. Prior to the Merger, there were no relationships or other connections among the businesses or individuals associated with the two pre-Merger entities. As a result, we may have material liabilities based on activities before the Merger that have not been discovered or asserted. We could experience losses as a result of any such undisclosed liabilities that are discovered in the future, which could materially harm our business and financial condition. Although the agreement entered into in connection with the Merger contains customary representations and warranties from KTL Bamboo International Corp. concerning its assets, liabilities, financial condition and affairs, there may be limited or no recourse against the pre-Merger stockholders or principals in the event those representations prove to be untrue. As a result, our current and future stockholders will bear some, or all, of the risks relating to any such unknown or undisclosed liabilities.
We may be exposed to additional risks as a result of “going public” by means of a reverse acquisition transaction.
We may be exposed to additional risks because the prior business operations of Miramar have become a public company through a “reverse acquisition” transaction. There has been increased focus by government agencies on transactions structured similarly to the Merger in recent years, and we may be subject to increased scrutiny by the SEC and other government agencies and holders of our securities as a result of the Merger. Further, as a result of our existence as a “shell company” under applicable rules of the SEC, prior to the closing of the Merger, we are subject to certain restrictions and limitations for certain specified periods of time relating to potential future issuances of our securities and compliance with applicable SEC rules and regulations. Additionally, our “going public” by means of a reverse acquisition transaction may make it more difficult for us to obtain coverage from securities analysts of major brokerage firms because of the perceived risk to those brokerage firms of recommending the purchase of our common stock. Further, investment banks may be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on our behalf than they might if we became a public reporting company by means of an initial public offering, or IPO, because they may be less familiar with us as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media, and because we became public at an early stage in our development. The failure to receive research coverage or support in the market for our shares will have an adverse effect on our ability to develop a liquid market for our common stock. The occurrence of any such event could cause our business or stock price to suffer.
If we fail to implement and maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us.
We are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, subject to certain exceptions. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires public companies to conduct an annual review and evaluation of their internal controls and to obtain attestations of the effectiveness of internal controls by independent auditors. However, as discussed in detail below, as an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, we are not required to obtain an auditor attestation. As a private company, Miramar was not subject to requirements to establish, and did not establish, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures consistent with those of a public company. Our management team and board of directors will need to devote significant efforts to implementing and maintaining adequate and effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in order to comply with applicable regulations, which may include hiring additional legal, financial reporting and other finance and accounting staff. Any of our efforts to improve our internal controls and design, implement and maintain an adequate system of disclosure controls may not be successful and will require that we expend significant cash and other resources.
Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, issuers that qualify as “emerging growth companies” under the JOBS Act are not required to provide an auditor’s attestation report on internal controls for so long as the issuer qualifies as an emerging growth company or a smaller reporting company. We currently qualify as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, and we may choose not to provide an auditor’s attestation report on internal controls. However, if we cannot favorably assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, or if we require an attestation report from our independent registered public accounting firm in the future and that firm is unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, investor confidence and, in turn, our stock price could be materially adversely affected.
Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that will need to be evaluated frequently. Our failure to maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls in accordance with the
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on the tradability of our common stock, which in turn would negatively impact our business. We could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. In addition, if our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.
We currently have a small team with primary responsibility for performing most of our accounting and financial reporting duties. As a result, certain aspects of internal accounting control which require adequate segregation of duties are missing. We believe we do not currently have sufficient accounting and supervisory personnel with the appropriate level of technical accounting experience and training necessary or adequate accounting policies, processes and procedures, particularly in the areas of revenue recognition, equity related transactions and other complex, judgmental areas for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, financial reporting and SEC reporting purposes and consequently, we must rely on third party consultants. These deficiencies represent a material weakness (as defined under the Exchange Act) in our internal control over financial reporting in both design and operation. We may identify additional material weaknesses in the future. Under the Exchange Act, a material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls. We are currently developing a plan to design, review, implement and refine internal control over financial reporting. However, we may identify deficiencies and weaknesses or fail to remediate previously identified deficiencies in our internal controls. If material weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal controls exist and go undetected or unremediated, our financial statements could contain material misstatements that, when discovered in the future, could cause us to fail to meet our future reporting obligations and cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Being a public company is expensive and administratively burdensome.
The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders are much greater than those of a privately-held company, and compliance with these rules and regulations will require us to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel, and will involve a material increase in regulatory, legal and accounting expenses and the attention of management. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the applicable regulations in a timely manner, if at all. In addition, being a public company makes it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. In the future, we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain this coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executives and members of our board of directors, particularly directors willing to serve on an audit committee.
We are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures and as a result our stockholders have limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as resulting rule changes enacted by the SEC, the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Stock Market, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities which are listed on those exchanges. Because we are not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange, we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and we have not yet adopted certain of these measures. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave
our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
We are an emerging growth company and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.0 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may suffer or be more volatile.
In addition, Section 102 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An “emerging growth company” can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, we are choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.
We are a smaller reporting company, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are currently a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company” at such time we cease being an “emerging growth company,” we will be required to provide additional disclosure in our SEC filings. However, similar to “emerging growth companies,” “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports and in a registration statement under the Exchange Act on Form 10. Decreased disclosures in our
SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.
We do not have a class of our securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Until we do, or we become subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, we will be a “voluntary filer.”
We are not currently required under Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act to file periodic reports with the SEC. We have in the past voluntarily elected to file some or all of these reports to ensure that sufficient information about us and our operations is publicly available to our stockholders and potential investors. Until we become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, we are a “voluntary filer” and we are currently considered a non-reporting issuer under the Exchange Act. Until we become subject to the reporting requirements under either Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, we are not subject to the SEC’s proxy rules, and large holders of our capital stock will not be subject to beneficial ownership reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 16 of the Exchange Act and their related rules. As a result, our stockholders and potential investors may not have available to them as much or as robust information as they may have if and when we become subject to those requirements. In addition, if we do not register under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and remain a “voluntary filer,” we could cease filing annual, quarterly or current reports under the Exchange Act.
Shares of our common stock that have not been registered under federal securities laws are subject to resale restrictions imposed by Rule 144, including those set forth in Rule 144(i) which apply to a former “shell company.”
Prior to the closing of the Merger, we were deemed a “shell company” under applicable SEC rules and regulations because we had no or nominal operations and either no or nominal assets, assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents, or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. Pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, sales of the securities of a former shell company, such as us, under that rule are not permitted (i) until at least 12 months have elapsed from the date on which our Current Report on Form 8‑K reflecting our status as a non-shell company, was filed with the SEC; (ii) unless at the time of a proposed sale, we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and have filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months, other than Form 8-K reports; or (iii) until the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to our common stock. We are currently a “voluntary filer,” and upon effectiveness of a registration statement, or upon our becoming subject to the reporting rules under the Exchange Act, we will not be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Therefore, unless we register such shares of common stock for sale under the Securities Act, most of our stockholders will be forced to hold their shares of our common stock for at least that 12-month period before they are eligible to sell those shares, and even after that 12-month period, sales may not be made under Rule 144 unless we and the stockholders who plan to sell such shares are in compliance with other requirements of Rule 144. Further, it will be more difficult for us to raise funding to support our operations through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities under the Securities Act, which could cause us to expend significant time and cash resources. Additionally, our previous status as a shell company could also limit our use of our securities to pay for any acquisitions we may seek to pursue in the future (although none are currently planned). The lack of liquidity of our securities as a result of the inability to sell under Rule 144 for a longer period of time than a non-former shell company could cause the market price of our securities to decline.
Investors may experience dilution of their ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common or preferred stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common or preferred stock.
In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our existing stockholders. We are authorized to issue an aggregate of 100 million shares of common stock and 5 million shares of “blank check” preferred stock. We may issue additional shares of common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock may create downward pressure on the trading price of the common stock. We may need to raise additional capital in the near future to meet our working capital needs, and there can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with these capital raising efforts.
Furthermore, in connection with the Private Placement, we entered into agreements containing certain anti-dilution provisions. Those anti-dilution provisions provide that, subject to certain exceptions, if we issue and sell common stock and common stock equivalents at a purchase price per share of lower than $5.00 within the six month period following June 7, 2016, each investor in the Private Placement shall be entitled to receive such number of additional shares of our common stock as they would have received had such lower purchase price per share been applicable in the Private Placement, which could result in additional dilution and cause the market price of our securities to decline.
Future sales of our common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for our common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, may cause our stock price to decline and may dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us.
If our existing stockholders or option holders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the lock-up and legal restrictions on resale lapse, the price of our common stock could decline. The perception in the market that these sales may occur could also cause the price of our common stock to decline. We have entered into Registration Rights Agreement to register for resale under the Securities Act 1,978,567 shares of common stock, which we issued and sold in the Private Placement, 715,000 shares of our common stock that were held by one of our stockholders immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, 6,419,967 shares of our common stock, which we issued to former stockholders of Miramar Technologies, Inc. in connection with the closing of the Merger, and 17,504 shares of common stock issuable to holders of the warrants issued to placement agents in connection with the Private Placement. Such shares represent approximately 98% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of October 7, 2016. Upon the effectiveness of any such registration statement, or other registration statement we could elect to file with respect to any other outstanding shares of common stock, any sales of those shares or any perception in the market that such sales may occur could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. As of the date of effectiveness of such registration statement, such shares registered for resale will be freely tradable without restriction, except for 9,051,804 shares of our common stock, which will become freely tradable upon the expiration of certain lock-up restrictions applicable to those shares, which prohibit their sale, disposition or other transfer for a period of six months following June 7, 2016; however, in the case of certain of our former shareholders, the lock-up restrictions prohibit the sale, disposition or other transfer of approximately 80% of such shareholder’s shares.
In addition, based on the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under our 2006 Stock Plan, or 2006 Plan, or available for issuance thereunder, at June 30, 2016, 1,482,249 shares of common stock that are either subject to outstanding options, outstanding but subject to vesting or reserved for future issuance under the 2006 Plan will become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting schedules, the lock-up agreements and Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act. As further described elsewhere in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 13, 2016, as amended on June 14, 2016, we also plan to file a registration statement permitting shares of common stock issued in the future pursuant to the 2006 Plan to be freely resold by plan participants in the public market, subject to the lock-up agreements, applicable vesting schedules and, for shares held by directors, executive officers and other affiliates, volume limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
If the shares we may issue from time to time under the 2006 Plan are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, by the award recipients in the public market, the price of our common stock could decline.
Holders of our common stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of our common stock warrants, are entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their shares under the Securities Act. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, except for shares purchased by affiliates, subject to the lock-up agreements described above in the section entitled “Market Price of and Dividends on Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters — Lock-up Agreements.” Sales of such shares could also cause the price of our common stock to decline.
We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, investors’ ability to achieve a return on their investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. The payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects, restrictions imposed by applicable law, any limitations on payments of dividends present in any debt agreements we may enter into and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. If we do not pay dividends, investors’ ability to achieve a return on their investment in us will depend on any future appreciation in the market price of our common stock. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which investors have purchased their common stock.
Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.
Our directors, executive officers and each of our stockholders who, as of October 7, 2016, owned greater than 5% of our outstanding common stock beneficially own approximately 94.76% of our common stock. Accordingly, these stockholders will continue to have significant influence over the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate transaction. The interests of these stockholders may not be the same as or may even conflict with investors’ interests. For example, these stockholders could delay or prevent a change in control of us, even if such a change in control would benefit our other stockholders, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of the Company or our assets and might affect the prevailing price of our common stock. The significant concentration of stock ownership may negatively impact the price of our common stock due to investors’ perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current directors and management team, and limit the market price of our common stock.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that may delay or prevent a change of control, discourage bids at a premium over the market price of our common stock, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. These provisions include:
|
|
•
|
dividing our board into three classes, with each class serving a staggered three-year term;
|
|
|
•
|
prohibiting our stockholders from calling a special meeting of stockholders or acting by written consent;
|
|
|
•
|
permitting our board of directors to issue additional shares of our preferred stock, with such rights, preferences and privileges as they may designate, including the right to approve an acquisition or other changes in control;
|
|
|
•
|
establishing an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting, including proposed nominations to our board of directors;
|
|
|
•
|
providing that our directors may be removed only for cause;
|
|
|
•
|
providing that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by a majority of directors then in office, even though less than a quorum; and
|
|
|
•
|
requiring the approval of our board of directors or the holders of a supermajority of our outstanding shares of capital stock to amend our bylaws and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation.
|
Although we believe these provisions collectively provide for an opportunity to receive higher bids by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors, they would apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management team by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management.
Moreover, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a person who owns in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The restrictions contained in Section 203 are not applicable to any of our existing stockholders that will own 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock upon the closing of the Offering.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, in the sections captioned “Description of Business,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations,” and elsewhere. Any and all statements contained in this Prospectus that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We are registering the shares of common stock issued or issuable to the selling stockholders to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the selling stockholders from time to time after the date of this Prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock offered by the selling stockholders under this Prospectus.
The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from this offering, if any.

We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of our common stock being offered for resale hereunder by the selling stockholders.
MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (OTCQB) under the symbol “MRLB,” which changed from “KTLC” on June 15, 2016.
Our common stock is currently eligible for quotation for trading on OTC Markets, OTCQB tier of OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the ticker symbol “MRLB.” To date, there has been very limited trading for our common stock on the OTC Markets. For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the high and low closing bid quotations for our common stock, as reported by the OTC Markets, was both $5.00. On October 13, 2016, the last quoted sale price for our common stock as reported on the OTCQB tier was $5.60 per share. As of October 7, 2016, there are: (i) outstanding options to purchase 1,369,277 shares of our common stock; (ii) outstanding warrants to purchase 84,428 shares of our common stock; and (iii) 9,380,653 outstanding shares of our common stock, 6,419,967 of which were issued to former stockholders of Miramar Technologies, Inc. in connection with the Merger, and 1,978,567 of which were issued and sold in the Private Placement.
As of October 7, 2016, we have 9,380,653 shares of common stock outstanding held by 53 stockholders of record.
Dividend Policy
We have never paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings to fund ongoing operations and future capital requirements. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the board of directors deems relevant.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
Future sales of our common stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, in the public market, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the prevailing price for our common stock to fall or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future. As described below, only a limited number of shares of our common stock is currently available for sale in the public market due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale described below. Future sales of our common stock in the public market either before (to the extent permitted) or after restrictions lapse, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing price of our common stock at such time and our ability to raise equity capital at a time and price we deem appropriate.
As of October 7, 2016, we had 9,380,653 shares of common stock outstanding, of which our directors and executive officers beneficially own an aggregate of 8,086,884 shares. All shares issued in connection with the Merger and the Private Placement were issued as restricted securities, and as such none of those shares can be publicly sold unless and until they become eligible for sale under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or they are registered for resale under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. We are registering under the registration statement for which this Prospectus forms a part the shares issued in connection with the Merger and the Private Placement.
Lock-up Agreements
In connection with the Merger, holders of 9,051,804 of our common stock have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable
for shares of common stock during the period from the date of the lock-up agreement continuing through the date six months after the date of the closing of the Merger, subject to earlier termination (a) upon listing of the common stock on a securities exchange or (b) with the prior written consent of the lead underwriter of any underwritten public offering of our securities for gross proceeds of at least $25 million.
The foregoing description of the lock-up agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the complete form of lock-up agreement included as an exhibit to the Securities Purchase Agreement entered in connection with the Private Placement attached as an exhibit to this Prospectus.
Rule 144
Pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, sales of the securities of a former shell company, such as us, are not permitted (i) until at least 12 months have elapsed from the date on which we filed our Current Report on Form 8-K on June 13, 2016, reflecting our status as a non-shell company, is filed with the SEC and (ii) unless at the time of a proposed sale, we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and have filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months, other than Form 8-K reports. We intend to register shares of our common stock under the Securities Act, but are currently a “voluntary filer” and are not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As a result, unless we register such shares for sale under the Securities Act, most of our stockholders will be forced to hold their shares of our common stock for at least that 12-month period before they are eligible to sell those shares, and even after that 12-month period, sales may not be made under Rule 144 unless we and the stockholders who plan to sell are in compliance with other requirements of Rule 144.
In general, Rule 144 provides that (i) any of our non-affiliates that has held restricted common stock for at least 12 months is thereafter entitled to sell its restricted stock freely and without restriction, provided that we remain compliant and current with our SEC reporting obligations, and (ii) any of our affiliates, which includes our directors, executive officers and other person in control of us, that has held restricted common stock for at least 12 months is thereafter entitled to sell its restricted stock subject to the following restrictions: (a) we are compliant and current with our SEC reporting obligations, (b) certain manner of sale provisions are satisfied, (c) a Form 144 is filed with the SEC, and (d) certain volume limitations are satisfied, which limit the sale of shares within any three-month period to a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares. A person who has ceased to be an affiliate at least three months immediately preceding the sale and who has owned such shares of common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell the shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the limitations described above.
Regulation S
Regulation S under the Securities Act provides that shares owned by any person may be sold without registration in the U.S., provided that the sale is effected in an offshore transaction and no directed selling efforts are made in the U.S. (as these terms are defined in Regulation S), subject to certain other conditions. In general, this means that our shares of common stock may be sold in some other manner outside the U.S. without requiring registration in the U.S.
Rule 701
In general, under Rule 701 as currently in effect, any of our employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors who acquired common stock from us in connection with a written compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement, in compliance with Rule 701 under the Securities Act, before the effective date of the Merger (to the extent such common stock is not subject to a lock-up agreement) is entitled to rely on Rule 701 to resell such
shares beginning 90 days after we become subject to the public company reporting requirements of the Exchange Act in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with the holding period requirements contained in Rule 144. Accordingly, subject to any applicable lock-up agreements, beginning 90 days after we become subject to the public company reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, under Rule 701, persons who are not our “affiliates,” as defined in Rule 144, may resell those shares without complying with the minimum holding period or public information requirements of Rule 144, and persons who are our “affiliates” may resell those shares without compliance with Rule 144’s minimum holding period requirements (subject to the terms of the lock-up agreement referred to above, if applicable).
Registration Rights
Certain holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to various rights with respect to the registration of such shares under the Securities Act. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in these shares becoming fully tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration, except for shares purchased by affiliates. See “Description of Capital Stock — Registration Rights” for additional information.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under 2006 Stock Plan
Miramar’s board of directors adopted, and Miramar’s stockholders approved the Miramar Labs, Inc. 2006 Stock Plan, or the 2006 Plan, in April 2006. The 2006 Plan was most recently amended in June 2016 and our board of directors assumed the 2006 Plan in connection with the Merger. The 2006 Plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to our employees and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options and restricted stock purchase rights to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, directors and consultants. See “Executive Compensation — Employee Benefit and Stock Plans.”
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in this Prospectus. The management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect” and the like, and/or future tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those under “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Prospectus.
As a result of the Merger and the Split-Off, we discontinued our pre-Merger business and acquired the business of Miramar and will continue the existing business operations of Miramar as a publicly-traded company under the name Miramar Labs, Inc.
See “Merger” below for more information on the Merger and Split-Off.
As the result of the Merger and the change in our business and operations, a discussion of our past financial results is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles, the historical financial results of Miramar, the accounting acquirer, prior to the Merger are considered our historical financial results.
The following discussion highlights Miramar’s results of operations and the principal factors that have affected our financial condition as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described, and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the statements of financial condition and results of operations presented herein.
The following discussion and analysis are based on Miramar’s audited and unaudited financial statements contained in this Prospectus, which we have prepared in accordance with GAAP.
You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.
Basis of Presentation
The audited consolidated financial statements of Miramar for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Miramar for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, contained herein include a summary of our significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with the discussion below.
In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such unaudited interim periods have been included in these unaudited financial statements.
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Company Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing our proprietary microwave technology platform.
Our first commercial product, the miraDry System, is designed to ablate axillary, or underarm, sweat glands through the precise and non-invasive delivery of energy to the region where sweat glands reside. The energy generates heat which results in thermolysis of the sweat glands. At the same time, a continuous hydro-ceramic cooling system protects the superficial dermis and keeps the heat focused at the sweat glands. Because sweat glands do not regenerate after the treatment, we believe the results are lasting. Microwaves are the ideal technology as the energy can be focused directly at the fat and dermal junction where the glands reside.
We received clearance from the FDA in January 2011 and received CE mark approval in December 2013 to market miraDry for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis and for axillary hair removal in June 2015. We sell our miraDry System to dermatologists, plastic surgeons, aesthetic specialists and physicians specializing in the treatment of hyperhidrosis. We generate revenue from sales of our miraDry System and the sale of consumables to our customers who are required to use a new consumable for each patient they treat.
As of June 30, 2016, we had an installed base of approximately 800 miraDry Systems worldwide and over 70,000 miraDry procedures have been performed.
We generated revenues of $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, $11.7 million, and $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We had net losses of $14.5 million, $13.1 million and $8.0 million, respectively, for the same periods. The net losses in 2016 included a non-cash charge of $8.0 million for the loss associated with the debt conversion as part of the Merger.
We utilize our direct sales organization to selectively market and sell miraDry in our North American market, which includes the U.S. and Canada. In our markets located outside of North America, we market and sell miraDry through a network of distributors. Our sales force and distributors primarily target dermatologists, plastic surgeons, aesthetic specialists and physicians specializing in the treatment of hyperhidrosis who express a willingness to position miraDry as a premium and differentiated treatment and to participate in our global marketing and support programs.
Revenues from markets outside of North America comprised 57% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 57% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. We are approved to sell our miraDry system in over 40 international markets outside of North America in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and South America.
We are driving growth in miraDry procedures through our physician marketing programs, which provide physicians with sales training, practice marketing, and support services through our direct selling in North America. For sales outside of North America, we are working with our distributors by sharing our marketing materials and programs that may be applicable to certain markets in addition to investing in marketing support in each of these markets. After we establish a significant installed base of miraDry Systems in specific markets, we plan to use targeted consumer marketing, advertising, and promotional activities in these markets to increase demand for miraDry.
Our business is dependent upon the success of miraDry, and we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in significantly expanding physician and patient demand for miraDry procedures.
In addition, we will continue to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future as we expand our commercialization and other business activities, and as a result, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to achieve or maintain our profitability.
We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. We expect our expenses will increase in connection with our ongoing activities as we:
|
|
•
|
increase sales and marketing personnel to support our targeted sales growth particularly in the U.S. and expansion in Asia;
|
|
|
•
|
add personnel and outside services to support our product development and clinical efforts;
|
|
|
•
|
seek regulatory approval of new products and indications in the U.S. and in foreign countries;
|
|
|
•
|
scale our manufacturing operations; and
|
|
|
•
|
operate as a public company.
|
Accordingly, we may seek to fund our operations through public or private equity financings, debt financings or other sources. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms, if at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to develop enhancements to and integrate new applications into our miraDry System.
Merger
On June 7, 2016, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, or the Merger Agreement with the Acquisition Sub and Miramar. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Acquisition Sub merged with and into Miramar and Miramar became the surviving corporation and thus became our wholly-owned subsidiary. On June 7, 2016, we adopted the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation by filing our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and adopted our Amended and Restated Bylaws. Upon effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, we decreased our authorized capital stock from 300 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10 million shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 100 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5 million shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.
Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, under the terms of the Split-Off Agreement, dated June 7, 2016, we transferred all of our pre-Merger operating assets and liabilities to our wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary and thereafter, transferred all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the special-purpose subsidiary to the pre-Merger majority stockholder, and our former sole officer and director in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of an aggregate of 3,603,602 shares of our common stock (which were cancelled and will resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock).
At June 7, 2016, each of the shares of Miramar’s common stock and preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into shares of our common stock at a ratio of 1:0.07393. Additionally, warrants to purchase shares of Miramar’s preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were converted into warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at the same ratio. As a result, an aggregate of 6,486,891 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock were issued to the holders of Miramar’s capital stock and warrants which included shares resulting from the conversion
of certain existing convertible promissory notes. Finally, 11,603,764 options to purchase shares of Miramar’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were assumed and converted into 857,634 options to purchase shares of our common stock, after taking into account the above conversion ratio.
Private Placement
On June 7, 2016, June 30, 2016, July 21, 2016 and August 8, 2016, we conducted a private placement offering, or the Private Placement, of our securities for approximately $9.9 million through the sale of 1,978,567 shares of our common stock, at an offering price of $5.00 per share before deducting placement agent fees and expenses of the offerings. Existing Miramar investors purchased $8.5 million of shares in the Private Placement. Certain shareholders of KTL Bamboo International Corp. retained, after giving effect to the Split-Off, 900,000 shares of our common stock upon the Private Placement.
Components of Statements of Operations
Revenue
Product revenue consists of sales of miraDry Systems, as well as consumables (referred to as bioTips), accessories, warranty, service and freight charges, net of returns, discounts and allowances.
Once a sales order is negotiated and received by customer service, the product can be shipped generally at the time the order is received or when the financial considerations are met. Installation and training are coordinated with customers in accordance with their availability but generally completed within a week or two of the shipment.
Standard warranties are offered at no cost to customers to cover parts, labor and maintenance for up to two years for product defects.
In addition, we offer extended warranty or post-installation service and support contracts that provide various levels of service support, which enables our customers to select the level of on-going support services, including parts and labor, which they require.
These post-installation contracts are for a period of one to two years. Revenue for extended warranty and service contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term during which the contracted services are provided.
Cost of Revenue
Product cost of revenue primarily consists of the cost of materials, labor and overhead associated with the manufacture of the miraDry Systems and bioTips, as well as variable manufacturing costs and royalty payments to The Foundry, LLC, or The Foundry, who has assigned and licensed certain patents and technology relating to the field of energy-based health treatments to us.
We expect our cost of revenue per unit to decrease as we continue to scale our operations, improve product designs and work with our third-party suppliers to lower costs.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development, or R&D expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel, including stock-based compensation and employee benefits.
Other significant R&D costs include third-party consulting services, laboratory supplies, research materials and supplies, and depreciation and amortization of medical and computer equipment and software.
We expense R&D expenses as incurred.
As we continue to invest in improving the miraDry System and developing our technology for new products, we expect R&D expenses to increase in absolute dollars but to decline as a percent of revenue.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel, including stock-based compensation, employee benefits and travel associated with our direct sales force, practice development managers, sales management and our marketing personnel.
Sales and marketing expenses also include costs associated with our support of business development efforts with distributors in Europe and Asia, and costs related to trade shows and marketing programs. Marketing programs include reimbursement to customers for qualified submissions of marketing expenses with a separately identifiable benefit, and where they provide us evidence of payment.
We expense sales and marketing costs as incurred.
We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in future periods as we grow revenue and expand our sales force and our marketing organization, in addition to increased participation in global trade shows and marketing programs, including consumer marketing.
General and Administrative
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel, including stock-based compensation, employee benefits and travel.
In addition, general and administrative expenses include the medical device tax fee (through December 2015), third-party consulting (including legal, audit, accounting and tax services), and allocations of overhead costs, such as rent, facilities and information technology.
We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars due to additional legal, accounting, insurance, investor relations and other costs associated with being a public company, as well as other costs associated with growing our business.
Interest Income
Interest income consists primarily of interest income received on our cash and cash equivalents.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest and amortization of related costs associated with the senior debt with Silicon Valley Bank Financial Group and Oxford Finance, or together, SVB/Oxford. Additionally it includes interest expense associated with financing leases for certain equipment in our business, short term financing agreements for insurance premiums, bridge loan financing and royalty payables with The Foundry.
Loss on Debt Conversion
The loss on debt conversion consists of losses incurred upon the conversion of convertible promissory notes into common stock in conjunction with the Merger in June 2016.
Other Income, Net
Other income (expense), net consists primarily of the re-measurement of outstanding convertible preferred stock warrants at each balance sheet date. Additionally, it includes gains and losses from the disposal of fixed assets and foreign currency exchange gains and losses.

Total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $3.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. Sales of capital systems increased by $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 over the same period in the prior year. North America capital systems sales increased by $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period for 2015 as we continued to see gains in system sales as a result of increased market awareness. Asia capital sales increased by $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period for 2015, primarily due to shipments to China. Sales of consumables increased by $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period for 2015, primarily due to increased utilization in North America and Europe and the increase in our installed base. Other revenue, which primarily consists of revenue from extended warranty agreements and service contracts,
reflected growth of 29.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period for 2015 due to an increasing number of capital systems in the field beyond their original warranty period for which customers had to extend warranty agreements or service contracts, or pay for servicing of their systems as the original warranty period had expired already.

Cost of revenue increased by $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. Gross margin percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 53.8%, reflecting an increase over the same period in the prior year of 3.7%. The increase in gross margin for both the second quarter and year-to-date is primarily attributable to a higher percentage of sales for North America and Asia in 2016, where we have higher selling prices, as well as lower cost of revenue per unit of our capital systems due to higher production volumes and favorable labor efficiencies in 2016 as compared to 2015. We currently expect that cost of revenue on current orders will show improvements from historic costs due to scaling of our operation closer to the optimal capacity of our facilities, introducing cost improvements from R&D, and increasing our production efficiencies.

Research and Development.
R&D expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $1.7 million. This reflects a decrease of $1.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower headcount and lower compensation, outside services and supplies due to reduced clinical studies.
Sales and Marketing.
Sales and marketing expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $6.5 million. This reflects an increase of $0.3 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation, travel and entertainment and marketing expenses associated with higher sales.
General and Administrative
. General and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $2.8 million. This represents an increase of $0.3 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. This increase was primarily due to increased outside contractor and support costs related to our Merger.

Other income, net, increased by $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to the revaluation of the convertible preferred stock warrants in conjunction with the Merger in June 2016. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, we also recorded a non-recurring non-cash charge for the loss on the conversion of debt to equity as part of our Merger that was completed in June 2016.

Total revenue in 2015 increased by $1.1 million compared to 2014, primarily due to an increase in consumable revenue of $2.3 million that offset a decrease in capital revenue of $1.5 million. The unfavorable capital revenue was primarily due to weaker sales in Japan and Korea due to the replacement of distributors and lower sales in Taiwan. Consumable revenue reflected strong growth across all regions with particularly strong utilization in Europe and the Middle East with growth of 123%.

Research and Development
. R&D expenses in 2015 decreased by $0.3 million as compared to 2014. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower headcount, decreases in compensation, outside services and materials and supplies due to reduced clinical studies.
Sales and Marketing
. Sales and marketing expenses in 2015 increased by $0.5 million as compared to 2014. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in travel, trade show and depreciation of sales and marketing equipment related expenses.
General and Administrative
. General and administrative expenses in 2015 were essentially unchanged as compared to the expenses in 2014. Higher outside service expenses of $0.7 million in 2015, primarily associated with increased legal expenses and the restatement of legal expenses related to financing efforts in 2015, were offset by lower compensation expenses, and lower facilities costs due to our new facility.

Other expense, net for the year ended 2015 and 2014 consisted primarily of the revaluation of the warrant liability and gains and losses on the disposal of property and equipment. Warrants were issued with the increase in our debt in April 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception in 2006 as a Delaware corporation, we have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations. During 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2016, we had net losses of $14.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively. At June 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $106.5 million.
As discussed in the audit report for the year ended December 31, 2015, these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8.7 million. To date, we have financed our operations principally through private placements of our preferred stock, issuances of senior secured debt and receipts of customer deposits for new orders and payments from customers for systems sold. Through June 30, 2016, we have received net proceeds of $86.3 million from the issuance of shares of our preferred and common stock. We expect to use the proceeds from the Private Placements to enable us to execute our business plans in a manner that allows us to get to our next financing milestone. Based on the amount raised in subsequent private placement offerings, we may need to conduct one or more equity or debt financings within the next 12 months.
We could potentially need financial resources sooner than we currently expect, and we may incur additional indebtedness to meet future financing needs. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, although we anticipate being able to obtain additional financing through non-dilutive means, we may be unable to do so. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have significant negative consequences for our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those identified in “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus.
Loan and Security Agreement
On August 7, 2015, we restructured our loan agreement from June 2014, and entered into a new loan and security agreement, or the Loan Agreement among us, Oxford Finance LLC, as collateral agent and a lender, the other lenders from time to time a party thereto and Silicon Valley Bank. The Loan Agreement provides for a $20 million secured term loan facility split into three tranches as follows: (i) $10 million in term loans, or the Term Loan A, (ii) $5 million in term loans, or the Term Loan B and (iii) $5 million in term loans, or the Term Loan C. The Term Loan A was drawn on August 7, 2015. The Term Loan B and the Term Loan C are available to be drawn when we meet certain revenue targets, and Term Loan C additionally requires an equity investment of $15 million or greater. Proceeds of the term loans made under the Loan Agreement may be used by us for working capital and to fund general business requirements. No additional borrowing is currently available.
The term loans bear interest at a fixed rate, determined on the funding date, equal to the greater of (i) 7.80% and (ii) the rate published by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. plus 4.55%. Interest is due and payable monthly in arrears. A default interest rate shall apply during any event of default under the Loan Agreement at a rate per annum equal to 5.00% above the applicable interest rate.
The term loans are payable in equal monthly installments amortizing over either 33 months or 27 months depending on when we meet certain revenue targets. Any remaining outstanding amounts of principal and/or interest are payable on September 1, 2019, the maturity date, together with a final payment equal to 2.25% multiplied by the original principal amount of the term loans, or the Final Payment.
We may prepay the term loans in whole, not in part, at any time, provided that such payment is accompanied by an amount equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the term loans prepaid multiplied by: (A) 2.00% for any prepayment made on or prior to the second anniversary of the funding date of such term loans and (B) 1.00% for any prepayment made after the second anniversary of the funding date of such term loans and (ii) the Final Payment. We are also obligated to pay customary fees for a loan facility of this size and type.
The term loans are subject to financial covenants and are collateralized by substantially all of our assets (other than our intellectual property) and limits the our ability with respect to additional indebtedness, investments or dividends, among other things, subject to customary exceptions. The Loan Agreement includes customary events of default and a subjective acceleration clause. Failure to comply with the loan covenants may result in the acceleration of payment terms on all outstanding principal and interest amounts plus a prepayment fee.

Operating Activities
We have historically experienced negative cash outflows as we developed our miraDry and miraWave technology, and continued to expand our business. Our net cash used in operating activities primarily results from our net loss adjusted for non-cash expenses and changes in working capital components as we have grown our business, and is influenced by the timing of cash payments for inventory purchases and cash receipts from our customers.
Our primary source of cash flow from operating activities is cash receipts from customers including sales of miraDry Systems. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are employee-related expenditures and amounts due to vendors for purchased inventory components. Our cash flows from operating activities will continue to be affected principally by our working capital requirements, and the extent to which we build up our inventory balances and increase spending on personnel and other operating activities as our business grows.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, operating activities used $5.4 million in cash, a decrease of $1.5 million from cash used in the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $6.8 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower operating net losses due to an increase in revenue and gross margin from prior periods. During the year ended December 31, 2015, operating activities used $11.9 million in cash, a decrease of $3.5 million from cash used in the year ended December 31, 2014. The reduction in cash used in operations was primarily due to a lower net loss of $0.9 million, and lower cash usage in accounts receivable and inventory. The decrease was primarily a result of an increase in cash collections and reductions in operating expenses.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. This was primarily for purchases of capital equipment used for operations and production.
For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million and $1.2 million respectively which was primarily for purchases of capital equipment used for operations and production. The decrease was mainly due to leasehold improvements we made to our new corporate facilities in 2014 in the amount of $0.8 million.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, $11.5 million of cash provided by financing activities was primarily from the issuance of bridge notes and proceeds from the private placement.
In 2015, the refinancing of the outstanding balance of the $10 million SVB/Oxford loan, was offset by principal payments on the previous SVB/Oxford loan and outstanding insurance premium loans and equipment capital leases.
In 2014, $16 million was raised from the sale of the preferred stock and $5 million was borrowed from SVB/Oxford.
Under the terms of our senior debt agreement with SVB/Oxford, we have access to $10.0 million of additional borrowing capacity, in two $5.0 million tranches, once we have (i) achieved trailing six months consolidated revenue of at least $15.0 million in any fiscal month and (ii) received net cash proceeds after the effective date of the Loan Agreement from the sale and issuance of equity securities of at least $15.0 million from investors on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the collateral agent. None of this additional financing is currently available.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by applicable SEC regulations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe that the assumptions and estimates have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. For further information on all of our significant accounting policies, see the notes to our financial statements contained in this Prospectus.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market value and consist of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. Cost is determined using standard costs, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Market value is determined as the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. We write down its inventory for estimated excess or obsolete inventory equal to the difference between the cost and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demands and market conditions.
Revenue
Recognition
Our revenue is derived from the sale of our miraDry system, related consumables and accessories, and separately priced extended warranties and service plans. We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification 605,
Revenue Recognition
, or ASC 605. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss has transferred to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue recognition generally occurs for sales of product upon shipment and over the covered term for extended warranties and service plans.
We have distributor agreements with several international distributors. Certain distributor agreements contained required product repurchase provisions. We deferred revenue for our potential exposures for product repurchases. We currently do not have any distributor agreements with required product repurchase provisions.
We provide marketing development funds as part of certain customer purchase agreements and qualification through marketing rewards programs. The programs generally provide for reimbursement of qualifying marketing expenditures that promote our products and brand. In order to qualify for the reimbursement, the customer must (1) have pre-approval from our practice development team to ascertain that the marketing adheres to the established guidelines and only feature miraDry Systems and the customer’s practice and (2) submit proof of payment and invoice for the marketing expenses. Through this review, we ensure that the fair value of the separately identifiable benefit received is equal to or greater than the amount being reimbursed. Our reimbursement of marketing expenditures under these programs is recorded in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Product
Warranty
We provide product warranties for our miraDry System for a period of one to two years, depending on the territory. We accrue for warranty costs at the time of sale based on an estimate of total repair costs for all miraDry Systems under the warranty period. An extended warranty may be purchased for additional fees.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
We regularly review accounts receivable balances, including an analysis of customers’ payment history and information regarding the customers’ creditworthiness, and records an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon this evaluation. We write off accounts against the allowance when all attempts at collection have been exhausted.
Freestanding
Preferred Stock Warrants
Freestanding warrants and other similar instruments related to shares that are redeemable are accounted for in accordance with ASC 480, “
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
.” The freestanding warrants are exercisable into our convertible preferred stock and are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and the change in fair value, if any, is recognized as other income (expense). We will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of (i) exercise of the warrants, (ii) conversion into warrants to purchase common stock (upon conversion of the preferred stock to common), or (iii) expiration of the warrants.
Income
Taxes
We account for income taxes under the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected
to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
We adhere to the provisions of ASC 740-10, “
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
.” ASC 740-10 prescribes a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure in financial statements of any uncertain tax positions that have been taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.
It is our policy to include penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as a component of other expense, net, as necessary.
Stock
-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “
Compensation - Stock Compensation.
” ASC 718 requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of all share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. All option grants valued since inception are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, “
Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.
” Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest.
Preferred
Stock
Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair
value
. We classify conditionally redeemable preferred shares, which includes preferred shares that feature
redemption
rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control, as temporary equity. At all other times, we classify our preferred shares in stockholders’ equity.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606)
.” This ASU provides guidance on revenue recognition and requires companies to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The core principle of this update provides guidance to identify the performance obligations under the contract(s) with a customer and how to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. It further provides guidance to recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual
and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 one year, making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations
”; in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing
”; and in May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.
” ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 all update and clarify the guidance previously issued in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09, as amended, allows for two methods of adoption, a full retrospective method or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. We are currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and our method of adoption.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “
Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.
” The update sets forth a requirement for management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, a responsibility that did not previously exist in GAAP. The amendments included in this update require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently used in the U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period, including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). ASU 2014-15 is effective for us in fiscal year 2016 for our annual financial statements. We are currently assessing the future impact of this update on our financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “
Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.
”
This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted.
We have adopted this standard and has accordingly classified all debt issuance costs as a deduction of notes payable.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “
Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.
” This update requires inventory that is recorded using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost method to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value (defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation), as opposed to the existing requirement to measure such inventory at the lower of cost or market value. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe adoption will have any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “
Leases (Topic 842).
” The guidance in this update supersedes the leasing guidance in “Leases (Topic 840).” Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. For public entities, the new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative
period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. We are currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “
Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.
” This update will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It will also allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. For public entities, the new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Company Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing our proprietary microwave technology platform.
Our first commercial product, the miraDry System, is designed to ablate axillary, or underarm, sweat glands through the precise and non-invasive delivery of energy to the region where sweat glands reside. The energy generates heat which results in thermolysis of the sweat glands. At the same time, a continuous hydro-ceramic cooling system protects the superficial dermis and keeps the heat focused at the sweat glands. Because sweat glands do not regenerate after the treatment, we believe the results are lasting. Microwaves are the ideal technology as the energy can be focused directly at the fat and dermal junction where the glands reside.
We developed the miraDry System to safely, noticeably, and measurably reduce the sweat in the underarm for patients with sweat ranging from excessive to average. In our pivotal U.S. clinical trial involving 120 patients, 89% of patients experienced significant reduction in their sweat with no serious adverse events reported. There have been several published clinical studies, collectively involving more than 150 patients, conducted by us and independent physicians which have evaluated the efficacy of the miraDry treatment in reducing sweat in the underarm.
We received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in January 2011 and received CE mark approval in December 2013 to market the miraDry procedure for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis, or a condition characterized by abnormal sweating in excess of that required for regulation of body temperature. Additionally, we have received approval of the miraDry treatment in several other countries since our FDA clearance in 2011.
The miraDry System consists of a console and a handheld device which uses consumable single-use bioTips. We sell our miraDry System and bioTips to our customers, consisting of dermatologists, plastic surgeons, aesthetic specialists and physicians specializing in the treatment of hyperhidrosis.
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition of varying degree in which a person sweats excessively. A study published by Strutton et al. in June 2004 in the
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
, titled “US
prevalence of hyperhidrosis and impact on individuals with axillary hyperhidrosis: Results from a national survey,” estimated that 2.8% of the general population has hyperhidrosis (in this paper defined as excessive or abnormal sweating) with 50.8% thereof having axillary hyperhidrosis. Another publication (Hornberger et al, published in the February 2004 issue of the
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
) provides a consensus guideline for the diagnosis of hyperhidrosis that would include anyone who is bothered by their sweat. This definition expands the potential market into the aesthetic space.
We developed the miraDry treatment to provide patients with a safe, effective, non-invasive, and durable procedure to selectively ablate underarm sweat glands for both severely hyperhidrotic patients and those that are bothered by their underarm sweat. The miraDry treatment is clinically proven to significantly reduce sweat in a one or more 60-minute procedures, allowing most patients to achieve immediately noticeable and durable results without the pain, expense, downtime, or repeat visits associated with surgical and other minimally-invasive procedures. The sweat glands in the treated area are ablated through targeted heating of the tissue, and because the body does not regenerate sweat glands, we believe the results will be lasting, although some patients may need to repeat the miraDry procedure to achieve the lasting results. Due to these advantages, we believe that the miraDry treatment is appealing to a wide range of individuals seeking a lasting solution to underarm sweat.
In addition, the miraDry procedure is not technique-dependent, does not require significant training or skill for the treatment provider, and the user-interface guides the provider through each step of the procedure for each treatment. The user-friendly nature of the miraDry System allows our physician customers to easily delegate the treatment to physician assistants and nurse practitioners thereby freeing up their time for other physician-dependent procedures.
We selectively market the miraDry System to dermatologists, plastic surgeons, aesthetic specialists and those physicians specializing in the treatment of hyperhidrosis who express a willingness to position miraDry as a premium and differentiated treatment and participate in our global marketing and support programs. Aesthetic specialists are physicians who elect to offer aesthetic procedures as a significant part of their practices but are not board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons.
We intend to market the miraDry System to physician practice sites on a global basis. We utilize our direct sales organization to market and sell the miraDry System in our North American market, which includes the U.S. and Canada. In our markets located outside of North America, we market and sell the miraDry System through a network of distributors.
Physicians can market the miraDry treatment as a premium, highly-differentiated, non-surgical sweat reduction procedure. Based on our commercial data, we believe physicians can recoup their capital expenditures within 12 months on average, assuming modest use of the miraDry System. We have sold the miraDry System in over 40 international markets outside of North America, including placements in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and South America.
We generate revenues from sales of our miraDry System and from the sales of bioTips which are required for use for each miraDry procedure performed. We generated revenues of $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Capital system sales comprised 54% and consumable sales comprised 42% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 55% and 42%, respectively, of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016. We had net losses of approximately $14.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively, for the same periods.
We are driving growth in miraDry procedures in North America through our physician marketing programs, which provide physicians with sales training, practice marketing, and support services. After we establish a significant
installed base of miraDry Systems in specific markets, we plan to use targeted consumer marketing, advertising, and promotional activities in these markets to increase demand for the miraDry System.
Our business is dependent upon the success of the miraDry treatment, and we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in significantly expanding physician demand for the miraDry System and patient demand for the miraDry treatment. In addition, we will continue to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future as we expand our commercialization and other business activities, and as a result, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to achieve or maintain our profitability.
Market Overview
The prevalence of hyperhidrosis in the U.S. is significant. A study published by Strutton et al. in the June 2004 issue of the
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
, or AAD, titled “US prevalence of hyperhidrosis and impact on individuals with axillary hyperhidrosis: Results from a national survey,” estimated that 2.8% of the general population has hyperhidrosis (in this study defined as excessive or abnormal sweating) with 50.8% thereof having axillary hyperhidrosis. Another publication by Hornberger et al was published in the February 2004 issue of the
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
provides a consensus guideline for the diagnosis of hyperhidrosis that would include anyone is bothered by their sweat. This definition expands the potential market for the miraDry treatment into the aesthetic space.
In June 2015, the miraDry System received clearance from the FDA for the additional indication of axillary hair reduction of all colors. This allows our U.S. customers to promote a premium procedure that reduces underarm sweat and hair.
The global market for aesthetic procedures is significant and growing. In the U.S. alone, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, or the ASAPS, estimates that consumers spent more than $13 billion on aesthetic procedures in 2015. Laser and light-based hair removal continues to be the largest volume among non-invasive and non-injectable procedures. As an emerging market, energy-based procedures for sweat and odor reduction are not currently tracked by ASAPS data.
Limitations of Existing Hyperhidrosis Procedures
Treatments for sweat reduction on the body span from over-the-counter topical antiperspirants to invasive surgeries. The following discussion outlines the benefits of these existing procedures, as well as our opinion of their inherent limitations as compared to the miraDry treatment.
Antiperspirants
. Most individuals have applied an antiperspirant to their underarms at some point and a significant majority of the population applies them every day. Stronger antiperspirants (clinical-strength) have been developed to reduce sweat more efficiently, and stronger prescription antiperspirants are considered first-line treatment for patients with severe hyperhidrosis. While antiperspirants are commonplace, they produce non-lasting results and are limited in their efficacy as evidenced by the fact that the FDA requires only 20% reduction in sweat among half of the treated patients for a product to be labeled as an antiperspirant and 30% reduction to be labeled as a clinical-strength antiperspirant.
Invasive and Minimally-Invasive Procedures
. Physicians currently perform a number of invasive surgical procedures for patients with hyperhidrosis, including Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy, or ETS, as well as minimally invasive procedures such as the injection of neurotoxins into the affected area. Although such procedures are effective at reducing sweat to varying degrees, these invasive and minimally-invasive procedures present limitations such as surgical risks, risk of producing undesired results, being dependent on physician skills and techniques and high cost.
Our Solution
The miraDry procedure is a treatment of hyperhidrosis that is clinically proven to be safe and effective and provides most patients with immediate and measureable results. The miraDry System utilizes our proprietary microwave technology to selectively ablate sweat glands in the axilla. As of June 30, 2016, over 70,000 miraDry procedures have been performed.
We designed our miraDry System to address the concerns of individuals who are seeking long-term solutions to their excessive underarm sweating and the concerns of sweat-bothered individuals (with less severe hyperhidrosis) who want to eliminate the daily bother of applying antiperspirants to their underarms. We offer training to our physician customers to better enable them to identify those patients who will benefit from the miraDry procedure.
We believe the miraDry treatment provides the following benefits to our physician customers and their patients:
|
|
•
|
Clinically proven, consistent, and durable results
. Clinical studies involving more than 150 patients demonstrate that one or two miraDry procedures can noticeably and measurably reduce the amount of sweat from the axilla, or underarm. In our study involving 120 subjects, 89% of patients that received treatment experienced significant reduction in their sweat with no serious adverse events reported. In a second study involving 31 patients intended to measure the long-term efficacy, patients reported an average of 82% sweat reduction at 12 months and 100% of patients reported as being no longer bothered by their hyperhidrosis at 24 months. We believe that the results obtained from a miraDry treatment will be durable, as sweat glands that are completely ablated do not regenerate.

|
Safety profile
. The miraDry treatment is designed to concentrate heat at the interface between the skin and fat, where the sweat glands reside. The treatment parameters have been optimized to ablate the sweat glands and protect any nearby structures (e.g. the upper part of the skin). The most common reported side effects that occur regularly are localized swelling, redness and discomfort that typically last less than a week. Less common side effects are swelling in the arm or torso, darkening of skin in the treatment area, soreness in the shoulders and arms due to procedure positioning, numbness or tingling in the arm due to the anesthesia (lasting less than 24 hours), and a tight band under the arm. Rare side effects (less than 1% of all procedures) that have been reported are altered sweating elsewhere on the body, small blisters or rashes in the treatment area, temporary altered sensation or tingling in the forearm or fingers, weakness in the arm or fingers, pain in the arm or fingers, infections, abscesses, ulcerations or burns.

|
Minimal discomfort
. Our physicians and their nurse practitioners are trained to use a high-volume anesthesia protocol in the axilla. This provides complete numbness of the treated area while protecting any underlying structures for maximum treatment safety.
|
|
|
•
|
Results not technique-dependent
. The miraDry procedure was designed so that users are systematically guided step-by-step regarding the placement of the handpiece for optimal treatment results. Every patient first receives a temporary tattoo-like grid on the axilla. The grid is replicated on the treatment screen and directs the practitioner in the accurate and precise placement of energy designed for optimal results. During the treatment, which takes approximately an hour, the practitioner simply needs to follow the guide to place the handpiece and no other adjustments are needed during the treatment.
|
Technology Platform
Our miraWave technology platform utilizes microwave energy to create heat within the skin or subcutaneous
locations to create a therapeutic effect. Microwave energy has been used in various medical specialties for heating tissue for decades. In the dermatologic field, it is important that heating is confined to a very precise location, which the miraWave technology platform is designed to do. Due to its proprietary handpiece designs and using appropriate energy parameters, the miraDry System can heat dermatologic tissue in a precise and controlled manner.
miraDry Technology
Our miraDry System utilizes microwave energy to deliver heat to the location of the skin where most underarm sweat glands reside – at or just below the skin-fat interface. We designed a proprietary handpiece that automatically focuses the energy at the skin-fat interface, regardless of skin thickness. When the physician or nurse practitioner places the handpiece to a specific area of the underarm as instructed by the graphic user interface, the energy is delivered automatically to the target tissue. The heat generated in the tissue exceeds the threshold for cellular necrosis, thereby ablating the sweat glands where the energy is focused. Surface cooling prevents the heat from damaging the superficial tissue above the skin-fat interface. In the underarm, many of the hair follicles are in the same relative location as the sweat glands. Therefore, the heating will also cause destruction and elimination of the hair follicles in those areas.
Our miraDry treatment has been clinically demonstrated to significantly reduce sweat and hair from the underarm without causing significant injury to critical surrounding structures. The surface cooling protects the epidermis and the majority of the dermis from damaging heat. The deeper underlying structures are protected by two mechanisms. First, our anesthesia protocol calls for creating a distance barrier between the underlying structures and the surface of the skin where the handpiece is positioned. A significant volume of anesthesia fluid is administered between the skin (and target tissue) and the underlying structures, which causes a separation of the target tissue from the underlying structure. As the handpiece is positioned just outside the skin, the underlying structures are further away from the handpiece, keeping them safe from damaging heat. Second, we employ a vacuum suction system in the handpiece where the skin is pulled up into a vacuum chamber within the handpiece. Typically, the underlying structures either remain stationary or move slightly with the vacuum action, thereby creating further distance between the handpiece and the underlying structures.
The miraDry System and bioTips
We generate revenues from sales of our miraDry System and single-use bioTips. Our proprietary consumable, the bioTip, is designed such that each bioTip is encoded to be used only with our proprietary system and expires within a set time and cannot be reused. We generate a recurring revenue stream from bioTips that are required for each patient treatment.
The miraDry System
The miraDry System consists of the miraDry console and the miraDry handpiece. The miraDry console contains a simple user interface with touchscreen software, power management and control functions, and chiller unit that is responsible for the hydro-ceramic constant cooling. Our miraDry System also contains software that tracks and collects data on each procedure performed and any error messages that may be generated during the procedure. We collect and analyze this information to help physicians better understand their usage patterns and improve their marketing plans, utilization, and profitability.
|
|
|
|
•
The color touch screen on the miraDry console provides operators with clear step-by-step visual instructions that guide the user through a miraDry procedure, providing continuous status updates and easy to follow notifications or corrective actions in the rare event of a procedure interruption.
|
•
The miraDry handpiece is used to apply the microwave energy while maintaining constant contact cooling of the skin during treatment. The handpiece also displays the heating and cooling cycles during each pulse. The handpiece is detachable to enable future product upgrades.
|
•
The unit is mobile, allowing a physician to easily transfer the miraDry System between treatment rooms.
|
•
Vents are built into the miraDry System control unit to provide airflow and reduce heat build-up. Our miraDry System can be used in a standard physician treatment room without any special ventilation requirements or room modifications.
|
Single-use bioTips
Our miraDry bioTips facilitate the proper suctioning of the skin to maintain constant contact of the skin with the handpiece during the treatment. Also, the bioTips facilitate the pay-per-procedure feature of our miraDry System. Our bioTips are typically shipped with branded gel packs for patients to apply after treatment.
|
|
|
|
A bioTip is required to use the miraDry System. Each bioTip is preprogrammed with enabling software that permits the miraDry System to perform a single patient treatment for a fixed duration of time. Each bioTip is programmed with an encrypted security certificate that prevents the performance of a miraDry procedure unless the bioTip is recognized and authenticated by the specific miraDry System. The security certificate is designed to ensure that physicians pay for each patient treated and prevent the use of counterfeit bioTips.
|
The miraDry Experience
The miraDry treatment is a non-invasive procedure, which takes approximately an hour that is clinically proven to be safe and effective and provides patients with immediate and durable results. The first step of the miraDry process is a patient consultation. We train our physician customers to properly explain to their patients the results they should expect from a miraDry procedure. Then the underarm is first sized using a sizing template. The appropriately sized temporary treatment grid is then selected and applied to the underarm to guide treatment. The patient’s underarm is then anesthetized for maximum comfort. After anesthesia has taken effect, the miraDry handpiece is applied step-by-step using the grid markings as guides to treat the entire axilla. During each application of microwave energy, the skin is first cooled, energy is applied, and then more cooling is applied to the skin’s surface providing constant temperature control of the tissue for the patient’s safety and comfort. Following treatment, the patient is given post-treatment instructions.
Our surveys indicate that most patients find the miraDry procedure easy to tolerate. Due to the underarm being fully anesthetized prior to treatment, patients typically only report feeling a tugging sensation from the suction created when the handpiece is placed on the treatment area but otherwise report no sensation.
Although most miraDry patients generally do not experience any significant adverse side-effects, the most common side effects that occur regularly are localized swelling, redness and discomfort that typically lasts less than a week. Less common side effects are swelling in the arm or torso, darkening of skin in the treatment area, soreness in the shoulders and arms due to procedure positioning, numbness or tingling in the arm due to the anesthesia (lasting less than 24 hours), and a tight band under the arm. Rare side effects (less than 1% of all procedures) that have been reported are altered sweating elsewhere on the body, small blisters or rashes in the treatment area, temporary altered sensation or tingling in the forearm or fingers, weakness in the arm or fingers, pain in the arm or fingers, and infections, abscesses, ulcerations or burns. These events resolve over time but sometimes need intervention (for example, antibiotics).
Sales and Marketing
In North America, we utilize our direct sales force to sell the miraDry System to our target physicians. We market and sell our miraDry System to dermatologists, plastic surgeons, aesthetic specialists and other physician customers with aesthetically focused and hyperhidrotic focused practices.
In our international markets, we sell the miraDry System through a network of distributors. Our distributor in Japan accounted for more than 10% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2015, and our distributors in Japan and China each accounted for more than 10% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016. We have a team of employees focused on business development and supporting our network of distributors. We intend to increase our penetration into the international markets in which we currently distribute, as well as expand into new markets through the identification and training of qualified distributors specializing in medical device distribution. We require our international distributors to provide ongoing training and support of their physician customers and invest in the marketing support of practices to expand the market and demand for the miraDry System for physicians and patients. We also require our distributors to invest in industry trade shows and maintain working relationships with key physicians to expand their markets.
We enter into distribution agreements with our distributors outside of North America. Our distribution agreements generally provide the exclusive right to distribute our products within a designated territory.
Physician Marketing and Support Programs
We intend to increase demand for the miraDry treatment through our targeted marketing and practice support
programs. In North America, we provide physicians and their staff product training and sales, marketing, and support services to help them make the miraDry treatment a key component of their practices. In other markets, we have our business development team work to train our distributors and their staff who in turn are responsible for training their customers.
In 2015, we hired and trained a group of Practice Development Managers, or PDMs, who are focused on implementing our marketing programs in North America. Our PDMs provide all initial trainings for our miraDry System to our physician customers and their staff following the delivery of the system to the practice. Following this initial training, our PDMs, also educate our physician customers on current best practices and provide physicians and their staff with sales and marketing training and support to help them increase patient demand for the miraDry treatment. Also in North America, we provide all new customers with the option to qualify for marketing development funds programs to increase patient awareness and demand in their practice. We review marketing expenditures under these programs to ensure that the fair value of the separately identifiable benefit received is equal to or greater than the amount being reimbursed by ascertaining that the marketing adheres to the established guidelines and requiring customers to submit proof of payment and invoice for the marketing expenses.
We also participate in industry tradeshows, clinical workshops, and conferences with expert panelists.
Direct-to-Consumer Marketing
As we grow our installed base of miraDry Systems, we intend to utilize a targeted and strategic direct-to-consumer marketing program globally to create awareness of the miraDry treatment among consumers. We have an active public relations campaign and have been highlighted on national broadcasts as well as numerous local news programs. We also intend to continue our active media presence and our social media programming, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and through search engine marketing, testimonials, and video presentations.
Customer Support
We provide our physician customers and authorized distributors with customer support.
In the event of a technical issue with a miraDry System in North America, one of our Customer Care personnel will call the physician and determine whether the technical issue may be resolved over the telephone or whether the issue requires an intervention. If the issue cannot be resolved by telephone, our Customer Care personnel will request our third-party logistics provider to visit the physician and provide on-site technical support. If the service provider determines that a replacement system is required, our logistics provider will deliver the replacement miraDry System or module into the physician’s office, set it up and ensure that the miraDry System is working properly.
In markets outside of North America, our miraDry System is serviced and supported through our independent distributors and certified third-party service providers. We require our distributors to maintain adequate inventory of miraDry Systems and components to facilitate quick response time to service events and to maximize customer “up time.”
We provide a standard warranty that ranges from 15 to 24 months on our miraDry Systems. In addition to these product warranties, we offer extended service agreements to our customers which provide protection of their system and handpiece against breakage. We do not obtain a material portion of our revenue from our service contracts.
Competition
The medical technology and aesthetic product markets are highly competitive and dynamic, and are characterized by rapid and substantial technological development and product innovations. Demand for the miraDry
treatment could be limited by the products and technologies offered now or in the future by our competitors. We designed the miraDry treatment to address the concerns of individuals who seek a durable solution to their axillary sweat. Therefore, we compete both directly and indirectly with those companies marketing botulinum toxin and other medical device companies. To a lesser extent, we indirectly compete with antiperspirants. We expect aesthetic medical device companies to pursue technological advances in the treatment of sweat and hair removal that will continue to alter the competitive environment.
In the U.S., our major competitor in the treatment of sweat is Allergan, which manufactures Botox; Botox is approved for the treatment of severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Cynosure also has recently received FDA clearance to market PrecisionTX for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis. These competitors have more resources than us and may prevent our miraDry System from gaining widespread market acceptance.
Due to less stringent regulatory requirements, there are many more aesthetic products and procedures available for use in international markets than are approved or cleared for use in the U.S. There are also fewer limitations on the claims our competitors in international markets can make about the effectiveness of their products and the manner in which they can market them. As a result, we face more competition in these markets than in the U.S. For example, a radiofrequency-based device called SweatX is sold by Alma Lasers Ltd.
Due to the limited capital expenditure budgets of our physician customers, we also generally compete against aesthetic device companies, including those offering products and technologies unrelated to sweat reduction. Some of our competitors have a broad range of product offerings, large direct sales forces, and long-term customer relationships, which could inhibit our market penetration efforts. Our potential customers also may need to recoup the cost of expensive products that they have already purchased from our competitors, and thus they may decide to delay or not to purchase our miraDry System.
Manufacturing
We occupy an approximately 29,000 square foot facility located in Santa Clara, California. About 4,200 square feet of this space is dedicated to manufacturing and service activities. We manufacture, distribute, and service miraDry Systems and accessories from this facility.
All final assembly, calibration and testing of our miraDry Systems are performed at our Santa Clara facility. The consumable bioTip is manufactured by a contract manufacturer, Healthcare Technology International Limited (HTI), at their facility in Dongguan, China. Consumables are tested and packaged at our Santa Clara facility, then sent to Dravon Medical Inc., or Dravon, for ethylene oxide sterilization. We are in the process of validating a second sterilization provider.
A critical component of our miraDry System is the custom microwave power amplifier contained in the miraDry console. The amplifier is manufactured by a single source manufacturer, Broadband Wireless, LLC, in Reno, Nevada (a subsidiary of United States Technologies, Inc.), or Broadband. We fully own the design and manufacturing process for this amplifier.
Manufacturing facilities that produce finished medical devices intended for distribution in the U.S. and internationally are subject to regulation and periodic unannounced inspection by the FDA and other domestic and international regulatory agencies. In the U.S., we are required to manufacture our products in compliance with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR, which cover the methods and documentation of the design, testing, control, manufacturing, labeling, quality assurance, packaging, storage, and shipping of our products. The FDA most recently inspected our facility in August 2015 and at the conclusion of such routine audit, a Form 483 was issued with four observations. The FDA acknowledged receipt of periodic status reports documenting the completion of corrections and corrective actions taken by us to address each of the four observations. The FDA will verify
acceptability of the actions taken during its next routine audit. No further actions are required at this time. In international markets, we are required to obtain and maintain various quality assurance and quality management certifications. We have obtained the following international certifications: ISO 13485:2003 Quality Management Systems Requirements for regulatory purposes and ISO 13485:2003 under CMDCAS (Canada). Our notified body, NSAI, most recently audited our facility in June 2015.
HTI, our disposables manufacturer, and Dravon, our sterilization service provider comply with the FDA’s QSR and are registered in good standing with the FDA. Additionally, we have procedures in place designed to ensure that all other purchased products and materials conform to specified requirements, including evaluation of suppliers, and where required, qualification of the components supplied.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade-secret laws, as well as confidentiality provisions in our contracts to establish and protect our proprietary technologies and products. The protection for miraDry Systems, components, new technologies, processes, and know-how is important to our business. We have implemented a patent strategy designed to protect our technology and facilitate commercialization of our current and future products. We continue to review new technological developments in our system and in the field as a whole in order to make decisions about the most appropriate filings for us.
As of June 30, 2016, our patent portfolio comprises 20 issued U.S. patents, 50 issued foreign counterpart patents, 10 pending U.S. patent applications, 39 pending foreign counterpart patent applications, and one pending Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), patent application, each of which we own directly.
Our portfolio includes patents and patent applications directed to system-wide aspects of the miraDry System and related products, and to key aspects of the miraDry System subsystems, components, and methods of use. The patents for our core technology are directed to systems and methods for the treatment of sweat glands with microwave energy to reduce or eliminate excessive sweating.
We also protect our brand through trademark rights. As of June 30, 2016, we owned worldwide 86 registered trademarks, and 42 pending trademark applications. Miramar Labs®, miraDry®, miraDry and Design®, Drop Design® and miraWave® are registered trademarks that we own in the U.S. and certain foreign countries. miraSmooth™ and miraFresh™ are trademarks for which we own applications for registration in the U.S. We also own the ML Stylized mark in the U.S., European Union and Korea, as well an International Registration through World Intellectual Property Organization. Application for registration of Miramar Labs™ is also pending in India. In order to supplement protection of our brand, we have also registered several key Internet domain names.
In addition to our patents and trademarks discussed above, we also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, trademarks, copyright protection, and continuing technological opportunities to develop and maintain our competitive position. We have periodically monitored and continue to monitor the activities of our competitors and other third parties with respect to their use of intellectual property. We require our employees, consultants, and third party collaborators to execute confidentiality and invention assignment agreements upon commencing employment or consulting relationships with us.
Research and Development
Our ongoing research and development activities are focused on products and procedure enhancements and development of products for new indications. Product and procedure enhancements include changes to improve efficacy of the therapy, the patient experience, and the physician/operator experience. As for products for new indications, we will leverage our miraWave microwave energy platform to develop products to serve additional needs in dermatology and plastic surgery. The goal is to be able to treat multiple indications with the existing miraDry console using different handpieces and custom software. Our research and development group is comprised of engineers, microwave scientists and technicians. Our research and development expenses amounted to approximately $4.97 million and $5.29 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Government Regulation
The design, development, manufacture, testing and sale of our products are subject to regulations by numerous governmental authorities, principally the FDA, and corresponding state and foreign regulatory agencies.
Regulations by the FDA
In the U.S., the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FD&C Act, the FDA regulations and other federal and state statutes and regulations govern, among other things, medical device design and development, preclinical and clinical testing, premarket clearance or approval, registration and listing, manufacturing, labeling, storage, advertising and promotion, sales and distribution, export and import, and post-market surveillance. The FDA regulates the design, manufacturing, servicing, sale, and distribution of medical devices, including aesthetic devices. Failure to comply with applicable U.S. requirements may subject a company to a variety of administrative or judicial sanctions, such as warning letters, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, fines, civil penalties, and criminal prosecution. The FDA can also refuse to approve pending applications.
Each medical device we wish to distribute commercially in the U.S. will require marketing authorization from the FDA prior to distribution. The two primary types of FDA marketing authorization applicable to a device are premarket notification, also called 510(k) clearance, and premarket approval, also called PMA approval. The type of marketing authorization is generally linked to the classification of the device. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes (Class I, II, or III) based on the degree of risk the FDA determines to be associated with a device and the level of regulatory control deemed necessary to ensure the device’s safety and effectiveness. Devices requiring fewer controls because they are deemed to pose lower risk are placed in Class I or II. Class I devices are deemed to pose the least amount of risk and are subject only to general controls applicable to all devices, such as requirements for device labeling, premarket notification, and adherence to the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, and its Quality System Regulation, or QSR. Class II devices are intermediate risk devices that are subject to general controls and may also be subject to special controls such as performance standards, product-specific guidance documents, special labeling requirements, patient registries, and post market surveillance. Class III devices are those for which insufficient information exists to assure safety and effectiveness solely through general or special controls and include life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, devices of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, or which present a potential, unreasonable risk of illness or injury.
Most Class I devices and some Class II devices are exempt from the 510(k) clearance requirement and can be marketed without prior authorization from the FDA. Some Class I devices that have not been so exempted and most Class II devices are eligible for marketing by obtaining 510(k) clearance. By contrast, devices placed in Class III generally require PMA approval or 510(k) de novo clearance prior to commercial marketing. The PMA approval process is more stringent, time-consuming, and expensive than the 510(k) clearance process; however, the 510(k) clearance process has also become increasingly more stringent and expensive.
The miraDry System is currently regulated as a Class II (special controls) device that requires 510(k) clearance.
510(k) clearance
.
To obtain 510(k) clearance for a medical device, an applicant must submit a user fee and then a premarket notification to the FDA demonstrating that the device is
“substantially equivalent”
to a device legally marketed in the U.S. that is not subject to PMA approval, commonly known as the
“predicate device.”
A device is substantially equivalent if, with respect to the predicate device, it has the same intended use and has either (i) the same technological characteristics or (ii) different technological characteristics and the information submitted demonstrates that the device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed device and does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. A showing of substantial equivalence sometimes, but not always, requires clinical data. Generally, the 510(k) clearance process takes more than 90 days and may extend to a year or more.
After a device has received 510(k) clearance for a specific intended use, any change or modification that significantly affects its safety or effectiveness, such as a significant change in the design, materials, method of manufacture or intended use, may require a new 510(k) clearance or PMA approval and payment of an FDA user fee. The determination as to whether or not a modification could significantly affect the device’s safety or effectiveness is initially left to the manufacturer using available FDA guidance; however, the FDA may review this determination to evaluate the regulatory status of the modified product at any time and may require the manufacturer to cease marketing and recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or PMA approval is obtained. The manufacturer may also be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.
In general before a manufacturer submits a medical device for 510(k) clearance, it must perform a series of generally short studies over several months, including method comparison, reproducibility, electromagnetic interference and stability studies to ensure that users can use the device successfully. Some of these studies may take place in clinical environments, but are not usually considered clinical trials. For PMA submissions, we are generally required to conduct a longer clinical trial over several years that supports the clinical utility of the device and how the device will be used.
We received initial 510(k) marketing clearance from the FDA for the treatment of axillary sweat reduction in January 2011, clearance for minor modifications to comply with new electrical safety requirements in October 2013 (no changes to the fundamental scientific technology, intended use, safety, or efficacy of the device), and for permanent reduction of axillary hair of all colors in June 2015. Since then, we have not made any modifications to the miraDry System or accessories that requires new 510(k) clearance. We have filed a 510(k) to secure expanded labeling for odor. We are awaiting response from the FDA.
PMA approval
. A PMA application requires the payment of significant user fees
and must be supported by valid scientific evidence, which typically requires extensive data, including technical, preclinical, clinical, and manufacturing data, to demonstrate to the FDA’s satisfaction the safety and effectiveness of the device. A PMA application must also include, among other things, a complete description of the device and its components, a detailed description of the methods, facilities and controls used to manufacture the device, and proposed labeling.
The miraDry System is not currently approved under a PMA approval, and we have no plans for any indication or system improvements or extensions that we believe would require a PMA.
Regulation after FDA Clearance or Approval
Any devices we manufacture or distribute pursuant to clearance or approval by the FDA are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA and certain state agencies. We are required to adhere to applicable regulations setting forth detailed cGMP requirements, as set forth in the QSR, which include, among other things, testing, control and documentation requirements. Non-compliance with these standards can result in, among other
things, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recalls or seizures of products, total or partial suspension of production, refusal of the government to grant 510(k) clearance or PMA approval of devices, withdrawal of marketing approvals and criminal prosecutions. We have designed and implemented our manufacturing facilities under the FDA’s QSR requirements.
Because we are a manufacturer of medical devices, we must also comply with medical device reporting requirements by reviewing and reporting to the FDA whenever there is evidence that reasonably suggests that one of our products may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury. We must also report any incident in which our product has malfunctioned if that malfunction would likely cause or contribute to death or serious injury if it were to recur. Labeling and promotional activities are subject to scrutiny by the FDA and, in certain circumstances, by the Federal Trade Commission. Medical devices approved or cleared by the FDA may be promoted only for uses set forth in FDA-approved labeling and may not be promoted for unapproved or uncleared uses, otherwise known as
“off-label”
promotion. The FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses, and a company that is found to have improperly promoted off-label uses may be subject to significant liability, including substantial monetary penalties and criminal prosecution.
Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007
The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act, or FDAAA, expanded the federal government’s clinical trial registry and results databank maintained by the National Institutes of Health, the NIH, to include all (with limited exceptions) medical device trials. In particular, it requires certain information about device trials, including a description of the trial, participation criteria, location of trial sites, and contact information, to be sent to the NIH for inclusion in a publicly accessible database. In addition, the results of clinical trials that form the primary basis for efficacy claims or are conducted after a device is approved or cleared must be posted to the results databank. Under the FDAAA, companies that violate these and other provisions of the law are subject to substantial civil monetary penalties. We are in compliance with FDAAA’s clinical registry requirements.
Foreign Government Regulation
The regulatory review process for medical devices varies from country to country, and many countries also impose product standards, packaging requirements, environmental requirements, labeling requirements and import restrictions on devices. Each country has its own tariff regulations, duties, and tax requirements. Failure to comply with applicable foreign regulatory requirements may subject a company to fines, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions, criminal prosecution, or other consequences.
Fraud and Abuse Regulations
We may be subject to numerous health care anti-fraud laws that are intended to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in the health care industry. These laws are broad and subject to evolving interpretations. They prohibit many arrangements and practices that are lawful in industries other than health care, including certain payments for consulting and other personal services, some discounting arrangements, the provision of gifts and business courtesies, the furnishing of free supplies and services, and waivers of payments. Many states have enacted or are considering laws that limit arrangements between medical device manufacturers and physicians and other health care providers and require significant public disclosure concerning permitted arrangements. These laws are vigorously enforced against medical device manufacturers and have resulted in manufacturers paying significant fines and penalties and being subject to stringent corrective action plans and reporting obligations. We must operate our business within the requirements of these laws and, if we were accused of violating them, could be forced to expend significant resources on investigation, remediation, and monetary penalties. Companies targeted in such prosecutions have paid substantial fines, have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, can be excluded from health care
programs and become subject to substantial civil and criminal penalties, and have often become subject to consent decrees severely restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.
Because we have commercial operations overseas, we are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, and other countries’ anti-corruption/anti-bribery regimes, such as the U.K. Bribery Act. The FCPA prohibits improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Safeguards we implement to discourage improper payments or offers of payments by our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors may be ineffective, and violations of the FCPA and similar laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, or other liabilities or proceedings against us, any of which would likely harm our reputation, business, financial condition and result of operations.
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
Our operations will also be impacted by the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as modified by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which we refer to as the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA. The ACA imposed a 2.3% excise tax on sales of medical devices by manufacturers applicable to sales in the U.S. only. Taxable devices include any medical device defined in Section 201(h) of the FDCA and intended for use by humans, with limited exclusions for devices purchased by the general public at retail for individual use. There was no exemption for small companies. In December 2015, Congress voted to suspend this excise tax for 2 years through December 2017.
Environmental Regulation
We are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state, and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations relating to, among other matters, safe working conditions, product stewardship and end-of-life handling or disposition of products, and environmental protection, including those governing the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials. Some of these laws and regulations require us to obtain licenses or permits to conduct our operations. Environmental laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. Although the costs to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including requirements in the European Union relating to the restriction of use of hazardous substances in products, have not been material, we cannot predict the impact on our business of new or amended laws or regulations or any changes in the way existing and future laws and regulations are interpreted or enforced, nor can we ensure we will be able to obtain or maintain any required licenses or permits.
Employees
As of June 30, 2016, we had 79 full-time employees. Within our workforce as of such date, 30 employees were engaged in global marketing, sales and business development, 15 employees were engaged in research and development, 24 employees were engaged in manufacturing, and 10 employees were engaged in general management and administration. We have no collective bargaining agreements with our employees, and we have not experienced any work stoppages. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Facilities
Our corporate headquarters are located in Santa Clara, California, where we lease and occupy approximately 29,000 square feet of office, manufacturing and research and development space. The current term of our Santa Clara lease expires on May 31, 2019, with no option to extend the term of the lease. We also maintain a small office in Hong Kong. In connection with our Santa Clara, California lease, we entered into a standby letter of credit with Silicon Valley Bank for $0.3 million, which was still outstanding as of June 30, 2016. We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our current needs.
Legal Proceedings
On July 20, 2015, a lawsuit alleging product liability, breach of warranty and negligence was filed against us in the Orange County Superior Court. The plaintiff alleged, among other things, that we are liable to plaintiff for injuries suffered due to defects in a certain miraDry device. We believe that there is no merit to the claims against us and we intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit, but the outcome of any potential litigation matter is uncertain.
We have received a demand from an attorney in Japan who represents a terminated employee claiming wrongful termination. We have retained a legal counsel in Japan who will advise on this matter and, if necessary, defend our interests in a formal legal proceeding. We believe that there is no merit to the claims against us and we intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit, but the outcome of any potential litigation matter is uncertain.
Other than the foregoing, we are currently not aware of any pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our property is the subject, nor are we aware of any such proceedings that are contemplated by any governmental authority. Occasionally, we may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Ms. Seltzer holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from Yale University in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry and a M.B.A. from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
We believe Ms. Seltzer is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because of her extensive operating and management experience in the biomedical industry.
Brian H. Dovey
has served on our board of directors since May 2016. Mr. Dovey has been a Partner of Domain Associates, L.L.C., a private venture capital management firm focused on life sciences, since 1988. Prior to joining Domain Associates, L.L.C., Mr. Dovey spent six years at Rorer Group, Inc. (now part of Sanofi-Aventis), a pharmaceutical company,
including as President from 1986 to 1988. Mr. Dovey serves on the board of directors of Orexigen Therapeutics, Inc. and REVA Medical, Inc. Mr. Dovey was former chairman and currently serves on the board of directors of both the Center for Venture Education (Kauffman Fellows Program) and the Wistar Institute, a leader in preclinical bio-medical research in the non-profit sector. He is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the La Jolla Playhouse. Mr. Dovey holds a B.A degree from Colgate University and an M.B.A from the Harvard Business School.
We believe Mr. Dovey is qualified to serve on our board of directors because of his experience serving as a director on over 35 private and public companies’ board of directors over the years, his experience with life science companies, and his extensive experience at a healthcare venture capital firm.
Patrick F. Williams
has served on our board of directors since August 2016. Mr. Williams currently serves as a consultant for ZELTIQ Aesthetics, Inc., a medical device company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform for the aesthetic market, and served as Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President at ZELTIQ from November 2012 to April 2016. From June 2007 to November 2012, Mr. Williams held several positions at NuVasive, Inc., a medical device company focused on developing minimally disruptive surgical products and procedurally integrated solutions for the spine, most recently as Vice President of Strategy and Investor Relations and previously as Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations. Mr. Williams holds an MBA in Finance and Management from San Diego State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from University of California, San Diego.
We believe Mr. Williams is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because of his extensive experience in the medical device industry.
Board of Directors and Director Independence
Our board of directors currently consists of eight members. We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange that has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent.” Nevertheless, our board of directors has determined that all of our directors, other than Mr. Kleine, Mr. Deem, Mr. Gifford, and Mr. Plain, qualify as “independent” directors in accordance with listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market, or NASDAQ. Mr. Kleine is not considered independent because he is an employee of Miramar. Mr. Deem, Mr. Gifford and Mr. Plain are not considered independent because they are entitled to receive the accrued royalty payments payable to The Foundry, LLC. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by NASDAQ rules, our board of directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our board of directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.
Classified Board of Directors
In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is divided into three classes with staggered three‑year terms. Our first annual meeting of stockholders will be in 2017. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. Our directors have been divided among the three classes as follows:
|
|
•
|
The Class I directors are Maxim Gorbachev and Henry A. Plain Jr., and their terms will expire at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2017;
|
|
|
•
|
The Class II directors are Mark E. Deem, Hanson S. Gifford III and Patrick F. Williams, and their terms will expire at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2018; and
|
|
|
•
|
The Class III directors are Robert Michael Kleine, Stacey D. Seltzer and Brian H. Dovey and their terms will expire at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2019.
|
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws authorize only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors will be permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by our board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors but promotes continuity of management.
Board Committees
Our board of directors has established a standing audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and governance committee.
Audit Committee
.
Mr. Gifford, Mr. Gorbachev, Mr. Dovey and Mr. Williams serve on our audit committee. Mr. Williams serves as the chair of the audit committee. Mr. Gorbachev and Mr. Williams meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and NASDAQ. Our board of directors
has determined that Mr. Gorbachev and Mr. Williams are audit committee financial experts as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ. Under the rules of the SEC, members of the audit committee must also meet heightened independence standards. Our board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Gorbachev, Mr. Dovey and Mr. Williams is independent under the applicable rules of NASDAQ and also meets the heightened independence standards under the rules of the SEC. The audit committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and NASDAQ. The audit committee’s primary responsibilities include:
|
|
•
|
appointing, approving the compensation of, and assessing the qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm, which currently is SingerLewak LLP;
|
|
|
•
|
reviewing and discussing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our annual and quarterly financial statements and related disclosures;
|
|
|
•
|
preparing the audit committee report required by SEC rules to be included in our annual proxy statements;
|
|
|
•
|
monitoring our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures;
|
|
|
•
|
reviewing our risk management status;
|
|
|
•
|
establishing policies regarding hiring employees from our independent registered public accounting firm and procedures for the receipt and retention of accounting related complaints and concerns;
|
|
|
•
|
meeting independently with our independent registered public accounting firm and management; and
|
|
|
•
|
monitoring compliance with the code of business conduct and ethics for financial management.
|
All audit and non-audit services must be approved in advance by the audit committee. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the audit committee which is available on our website at
www.miramarlabs.com
.
Compensation Committee
.
Mr. Deem, Mr. Plain, and Ms. Seltzer serve on our compensation committee, and Ms. Seltzer satisfies the requirements for independence under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Mr. Deem serves as the chair of the compensation committee. Each member of our compensation committee is also a non-employee director, as defined pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and an outside director, as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The compensation committee’s responsibilities include:
|
|
•
|
annually reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of our chief executive officer and our other executive officers;
|
|
|
•
|
determining the compensation of our chief executive officer and our other executive officers;
|
|
|
•
|
reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to director compensation; and
|
|
|
•
|
overseeing and administering our equity incentive plans.
|
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer make compensation recommendations for our other executive officers. From time to time, the compensation committee may use outside compensation consultants to assist it in analyzing our compensation programs and in determining appropriate levels of compensation and benefits.
We have recently engaged Compensia to advise us on compensation philosophy as we have become a publicly‑traded company. We expect Compensia to help us select a group of peer companies to use for compensation benchmarking purposes and cash and equity compensation levels for our directors, executives and other employees based on current market practices. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the compensation committee which is available on our website at
www.miramarlabs.com
.
Nominating and Governance Committee
.
Mr. Deem, Ms. Seltzer and Mr. Dovey serve on our nominating and governance committee, and Ms. Seltzer and Mr. Dovey satisfy the requirements for independence under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Ms. Seltzer serves as the chair of the nominating and governance committee. The nominating and governance committee’s responsibilities include:
|
|
•
|
identifying individuals qualified to become members of our board of directors;
|
|
|
•
|
recommending to our board of directors the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each of our board’s committees;
|
|
|
•
|
reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to management succession planning;
|
|
|
•
|
developing, updating and recommending to our board of directors corporate governance principles and policies; and
|
|
|
•
|
overseeing the evaluation of our board of directors and committees.
|
Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the nominating and governance committee which is available on our website at
www.miramarlabs.com
.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of the members of our compensation committee has been one of our officers or employees during 2015. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers on our board of directors or compensation committee.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. The code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at
www.miramarlabs.com
. We expect that any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website. The reference to our web address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through our website.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters
Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:
|
|
•
|
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
|
|
|
•
|
any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
|
|
|
•
|
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
|
|
|
•
|
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
|
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we are required to indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his, her or its actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him, her or it under Delaware law.
In addition to the indemnification required in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and certain other officers. These agreements will provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers and certain other employees for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were our agents. We believe that these provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors, officers or employees as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director, officer or employee.
Director Compensation
From our inception to the date of this Prospectus, no compensation was earned or paid to Andrey Zasoryn, who was our sole director. Andrey Zasoryn resigned as our sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President, effective as of June 7, 2016 in connection with the Merger.
Miramar became our wholly owned subsidiary upon closing of the Merger on June 7, 2016. We pay The Foundry, LLC $5,000 per month for services provided by Mark E. Deem as chairman of the board plus reasonable expenses incurred in attending board, committee and other company related meetings. Except for this payment to Mr. Deem, we have not paid our other directors additional compensation for being members of our board of directors in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
On July 14, 2016, we approved a compensation policy for our non-employee directors, or the Director Compensation Program. Pursuant to the Director Compensation Program, our non-employee directors will receive cash compensation, paid yearly in arrears, as follows:
|
|
•
|
Each non-employee director will receive an annual cash retainer in the amount of $35,000 per year.
|
|
|
•
|
Any non-employee Chairman will receive an additional annual cash retainer in the amount of $22,500 per year.
|
|
|
•
|
The chairperson of the audit committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $15,500 per year for such chairperson’s service on the audit committee. Each non-chairperson member of the audit committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $6,000 per year for such member’s service on the audit committee.
|
|
|
•
|
The chairperson of the compensation committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $10,000 per year for such chairperson’s service on the compensation committee. Each non-chairperson member of the compensation committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $5,000 per year for such member’s service on the compensation committee.
|
|
|
•
|
The chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $7,000 per year for such chairperson’s service on the nominating and corporate governance committee. Each non-chairperson member of the nominating and corporate governance committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $4,000 per year for such member’s service on the nominating and corporate governance committee.
|
Under the Director Compensation Program, upon the director’s initial appointment or election to our board of directors, each non-employee director will receive an option, or the Initial Grant, to purchase that number of shares of our common stock such that the award has an aggregate grant date fair value (as defined below) equal to $90,000 pursuant to our 2006 Stock Plan. In addition, each non-employee director who has been serving as a director and will continue to serve as a director immediately following each annual stockholder meeting, will be automatically granted, on the date of such annual stockholder meeting, an option, or the Annual Grant, to purchase that number of shares of our common stock such that the award has an aggregate grant date fair value equal to $45,000 pursuant to the 2006 Stock Plan. For purposes of the Initial Grant and the Annual Grant, “grant date fair value” will mean the fair value of an award as of the date of grant as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Share-Based Payment,” using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the valuation assumptions used by us in accounting for options as of such date of grant. The Initial Grant will vest as to 1/48th of the shares subject to Initial Grant on each monthly anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to continued service through each applicable vesting date, and the Annual Grant will vest as to 1/12th of the shares subject to the Annual Grant on each month anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to continued service through such vesting date.
On August 25, 2016, pursuant to the Director Compensation Program, we granted each of Mr. Deem, Mr. Gifford, Mr. Gorbachev, Mr. Plain, Mr. Dovey, Ms. Seltzer and Mr. Williams, an option to purchase 16,093 shares of our common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $5.5925. The options vest and become exercisable in substantially equal monthly installments over the 48 months following the grant date, subject to the individual continuing to provide services to us through the applicable vesting date. Until we complete our next financing, all the non-employee directors, except for Mr. Williams, have agreed to forgo any cash compensation.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Summary Compensation Table
This discussion contains forward looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt may differ materially from currently planned programs as summarized in this discussion. As an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act and a smaller reporting company we are not required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and have elected to comply with the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies.
From our inception to the date of this Propsectus, no compensation was earned or paid to Andrey Zasoryn, who was our sole director. Andrey Zasoryn resigned as our sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President, effective as of June 7, 2016 in connection with the Merger.
Miramar became our wholly owned subsidiary upon closing of the Merger on June 7, 2016. The following table provides information regarding the total compensation for services rendered in all capacities that was earned in Miramar’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 by each individual who served as Miramar’s principal executive officer at any time in 2015, and Miramar’s two other most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2015, had Miramar been a reporting company on December 31, 2015. These individuals were our named executive officers for 2015.

Executive Officer Employment Agreements and Offer Letters
Robert Michael Kleine
Miramar entered into an employment offer letter in November 2013 with Robert Michael Kleine, our President and Chief Executive Officer. The letter has no specific term and provides for at-will employment. The letter also provides that Mr. Kleine is eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to 40% of his annual salary based on the achievement of certain goals mutually agreed upon by him and our board of directors. Mr. Kleine’s annual base salary for 2015 was $437,333.

The letter provides that Mr. Kleine may receive reimbursements from us for up to $5,000 monthly as a housing allowance.

Employee Benefit and Stock Plans
2006 Stock Plan, as Amended
Miramar’s board of directors adopted, and Miramar’s stockholders approved, the 2006 Plan in April 2006. The 2006 Plan was most recently amended in April 2015. The 2006 Plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to our employees and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options and restricted stock purchase rights to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, directors and consultants.
Authorized Shares
. The 2006 Plan and all outstanding awards thereunder were assumed by us in connection with the closing of the Merger. In the event that an outstanding option or other right for any reason expires or is canceled, the shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such option or other right shall be added to the number of shares then available for issuance under the 2006 Plan. However, shares that have actually been issued under the 2006 Plan upon exercise of either an option or other right shall not become available for future distribution under the 2006 Plan.
Plan Administration
. Our board of directors or a committee of our board (the administrator) administers the 2006 Plan. Subject to the provisions of the 2006 Plan, the administrator has the full authority and discretion to take any actions it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2006 Plan. All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the administrator are final and binding on all participants in the 2006 Plan.
Options
. Stock options may be granted under the 2006 Plan. The exercise price per share of incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options must equal at least 100% and 85%, respectively, of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the administrator. The term of a stock option may
not exceed 10 years. With respect to any participant who owns 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock as of the grant date, the term of an incentive stock option granted to such participant must not exceed five years and the exercise price per share of such incentive stock option must equal at least 110% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the administrator. The 2006 Plan administrator determines the terms and conditions of options.
After termination of an optionee’s service as an employee, director or consultant, the optionee may exercise the vested shares subject to his or her option as of the date of such termination for at least 30 days, or such longer period of time as specified in the option agreement. If termination is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for at least 6 months, or such longer period of time as specified in the option agreement. In all other cases, the option will remain exercisable for at least thirty days, or such longer period of time as specified in the option agreement. However, an option generally may not be exercised later than the expiration of its term.
Restricted Shares
. Restricted shares may be granted under the 2006 Plan as a purchasable award. Restricted shares are shares of our common stock that vest in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the administrator, provided that with respect to recipients of restricted shares who are not officers, directors, or consultants, restricted shares will vest at a rate no slower than 20% per year over five years starting on the date of grant of the award or sale of the underlying shares. The administrator will determine the number of shares of restricted stock granted to any employee, director or consultant and, subject to the provisions of the 2006 Plan, will determine the terms and conditions of such awards. Recipients of restricted stock awards generally will have voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares upon grant without regard to the restriction, unless the administrator provides otherwise. Shares of restricted stock as to which the restrictions have not lapsed are subject to our right of repurchase or forfeiture.
Transferability of Awards
. The 2006 Plan generally does not allow for the transfer or assignment of awards, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. However, to the extent permitted by our board of directors in its sole discretion, awards may be transferred to family members by gift or domestic relations orders to the extent permitted by applicable securities laws. Restricted shares and shares issued upon exercise of an option will be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal, and other transfer restrictions as the administrator may determine.
Certain Adjustments
. In the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of our shares or other securities, or other change in our corporate structure affecting the shares occurs, our board of directors will make appropriate adjustments to the number of shares under the 2006 Plan available for future awards, the number of shares covered by each outstanding option, the exercise price under each outstanding option, or the price of shares subject to our right of repurchase.
Merger or Change in Control
. The 2006 Plan provides that, in the event of a merger or change in control, all outstanding awards will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary. In the event the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the award, then the optionee will fully vest in and have the right to exercise the award as to all of the shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an award becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or change in control, the administrator will notify the award’s optionee in writing or electronically that the award shall be fully exercisable for a period of time as determined by the administrator, and the award shall terminate upon expiration of such period (to the extent unexercised).
Amendment; Termination
. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the 2006 Plan at any
time, provided that such action does not adversely affect a participant’s rights under outstanding awards granted under the 2006 Plan without such participant’s written consent.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
SEC rules require us to disclose any transaction or currently proposed transaction in which we are a participant and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest involving the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets as of the end of last two completed fiscal years.

The purchase price was paid partially in cash and partially through the conversion of certain existing convertible promissory notes as discussed above.

Mark Tompkins, who beneficially owned approximately 8.69% of the our common stock as of October 7, 2016, participated in the Private Placement, purchasing 100,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000. Mr. Tompkins is also a party to the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to all of his shares. See the footnotes to the beneficial ownership table in “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” and “Description of Capital Stock — Registration Rights” for more details.
Relationship and License Agreement with The Foundry
Miramar Technologies, Inc. was formed at an incubator, The Foundry, LLC, a company which provides seed capital and management services to its investees. Certain employees of The Foundry serve as members of our board of directors and own shares of our common stock. The total amount reimbursed to The Foundry for services provided as members of the board of directors was $31,785 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and $62,267 and $62,180 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
In December 2008, The Foundry assigned to us certain patents and technology relating to the field of energy-based health treatments. The Foundry also granted us a license under certain technology to develop and commercialize products within such field. In consideration for such assignment and license, we granted The Foundry a non-exclusive license under certain patent applications to develop and commercialize products outside such field, subject to a right
of first negotiation and option, and an exclusive license within the field of ultrasonic energy-based health treatments. We further agreed to pay The Foundry a compensation payment up to $30 million, payable quarterly at a royalty rate of three percent (3%) of net sales of products. As of June 30, 2016, approximately $1.6 million in royalties has accrued under the assignment and license agreement. The amount of royalties accrued for the years ended 2014 and 2015 was $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The agreement will be effective until the compensation payment has been fully paid or the expiration of the last-to-expire assigned patent, whichever is later. As the Managing Partners of The Foundry, Hanson S. Gifford III and Mark E. Deem, each a member of our board of directors, are entitled to receive 31.01% and 22.82%, respectively, of the royalty payments we pay to The Foundry. Henry A. Plain, Jr, also a member of our board of directors, is entitled to receive 20.00% of the royalty payments we pay to The Foundry.
Indemnification Agreements and Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify each director and executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of us, arising out of the person’s services as a director or executive officer.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Private Placement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 7, 2016, among us and certain of our stockholders who are signatories thereto. Under the terms of the agreement, the holders of Registrable Shares, including the selling stockholders, have certain registration rights, including the right to request that their shares of common stock be covered by a registration statement that we are otherwise filing. The related parties that have registration rights pursuant to the rights agreement are Morgenthaler Partners VIII, L.P., Domain Partners VII, L.P., RMI Investments S.A.R.L., and Aisling Capital III, LP. For a more detailed description of these registration rights, see “Description of Capital Stock—Registration Rights.”
Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
Our board of directors has adopted a policy that our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our common stock and any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons are not permitted to enter into a related person transaction with us without the prior consent of our audit committee. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, nominee for election as a director, beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our common stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and such person would have a direct or indirect interest must first be presented to our audit committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our audit committee is to consider the material facts of the transaction, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. We did not have a formal review and approval policy for related party transactions at the time of any of the transactions described above. However, all of the transactions described above were entered into after presentation, consideration and approval by our board of directors and/or our audit committee.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock at October 7, 2016, by:
|
|
•
|
each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock (our only classes of voting securities);
|
|
|
•
|
each of our directors and executive officers; and
|
|
|
•
|
all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
|
The number of shares beneficially owned by each entity, person, director or executive officer is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares over which the individual has sole or shared voting power or investment power as well as any shares that the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of October 7, 2016 through the exercise of any stock option, warrants or other rights. Except as otherwise indicated, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock held by such person.
The percentage of shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 9,380,653 share of common stock outstanding at October 7, 2016. Shares of common stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of October 7, 2016 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such rights, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person, except with respect to the percentage ownership of all directors and executive officers as a group.
Unless otherwise indicated in the following table, the address for each person named in the table is c/o Miramar Labs, Inc., 2790 Walsh Avenue, Santa Clara, CA 95051.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
This Prospectus covers the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders identified in the table below of up to an aggregate of 9,194,674 shares of our common stock, which includes (i) 1,978,567 shares of our common stock issued and sold to investors in the Private Placement, (ii) 715,000 shares of our common stock that were held by certain of our stockholders immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, (iii) 6,419,967 shares of our common stock, issued in the Merger to the former stockholders of Miramar Technologies, Inc. in connection with the closing of the Merger, (iv) 17,504 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of common stock warrants by the holders of the Placement Agent Warrants issued as compensation in connection with the Private Placement and (v) 63,636 shares of common stock issued to certain consultants.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement entered into with each of the investors in the Private Placement, we have filed with the SEC the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part in order to register such resales of our common stock under the Securities Act. We have also agreed to cause this registration statement to become effective and to keep such registration statement effective within and for the time periods set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. Our failure to satisfy the filing or effectiveness deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement may subject us to payment of certain monetary penalties pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. See “Description of Capital Stock — Registration Rights” for more information.
The selling stockholders identified in the table below may from time to time offer and sell under this Prospectus any or all of the shares of common stock described under the column “Shares of Common Stock Being Offered in this offering” in the table below. The table below has been prepared based upon information furnished to us by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their shares since the date on which the information in the following table is presented in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this Prospectus accordingly and as required.
We have been advised, as noted in the footnotes in the table below, that certain of the selling stockholders are broker-dealers, affiliates of a broker-dealer and/or underwriter. Those selling stockholders have informed us that they bought our securities in the ordinary course of business, and that none of these selling stockholders had, at the time of their purchase of our securities, any agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute such securities.
The following table and footnote disclosure following the table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the nature of any position, office or other material relationship, if any, that the selling stockholder has had within the past three years with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, and the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder as of October 7, 2016, except as described in the notes to such table. The number of shares reflected are those beneficially owned, as determined under applicable rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Applicable percentage ownership prior to this offering is based on 9,380,653 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 7, 2016. Under applicable SEC rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of common stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days after October 7, 2016 through the exercise of any option, warrant or right or through the conversion of any convertible security. However, we did not deem such shares outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
We have authorized capital stock consisting of 100 million shares of common stock and 5 million shares of preferred stock. As of October 7, 2016, we had 9,380,653 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
Voting Rights
Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation establishes a classified board of directors that is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only the directors in one class will be subject to election by a plurality of the votes cast at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the directors in the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms.
Dividends
Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds. We do not have any plans to pay dividends to our stockholders. See section titled “Market Price of and Dividends on Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters — Dividend Policy” for more information.
Liquidation
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Rights
and Preferences
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or other rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock that we may designate in the future.
Fully
Paid and Nonassessable
All of our outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of common stock to be issued in the Offering will be, fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by our board of directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. Our board of directors may designate the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preference, sinking
fund terms, and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the preferred stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any preferred stock designation. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of restricting dividends on our common stock, diluting the voting power of our common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of our common stock, or delaying, deterring, or preventing a change in control. Such issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock. We currently have no plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Warrants
As of October 7, 2016, the Placement Agent Warrants entitle their holders to purchase 17,504 shares of common stock, with a term of five years and an exercise price of $5.00 per share.
The Placement Agent Warrants contain “weighted average” anti-dilution protection in the event that we issue common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock at a price lower than the subject warrant’s exercise price, subject to certain customary exceptions, as well as customary provisions for adjustment in the event of stock splits, subdivision or combination, mergers, etc.
As of October 7, 2016, other warrants entitle their holders to purchase 66,924 shares of common stock. The following table sets forth information about our other warrants.

Options
In June 2016, the Board approved repricing of outstanding stock options to current employee and consultant option holders. In exchange for extending the vesting of options for an additional six months, the price of the outstanding stock grants was amended to $5.00 per share. The offer expired on July 12, 2016. Outstanding option shares of 744,133, ranging in grant prices from $6.36 to $8.66, were approved by the Board on July 14, 2016 and were repriced as part of the program. As of October 7, 2016, there were options to purchase 1,369,277 shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $5.2148 per share.
Registration Rights
Following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, the holders of (a) the shares of common stock issued in the Private Placement, (b) the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants, (c) the shares of common stock issued in exchange for the equity securities of Miramar outstanding prior to the Merger, and (d) shares of common stock held by certain of our pre-Merger security holders, or collectively, the Registrable Shares, will be entitled to rights with respect to the registration of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act. These rights are provided under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the Private Placement. These rights will terminate upon the earlier of (i) two years from the date it is declared effective by the SEC and (ii) the date Rule 144 is available to the holders of Registrable Shares with respect to all of their Registrable Shares without volume or other limitations.
Under such Registration Rights Agreement, in addition to the filing and effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, we must keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) two years from the date it is declared effective by the SEC and (ii) the date Rule 144 is available to the holders of Registrable Shares with respect to all of their Registrable Shares without volume or other limitations. If we fail to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part as to all Registrable Shares included in such registration statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement or the Registrable Shares are not listed on an approved market or if trading of the common stock on such market is suspended or halted for more than three full consecutive trading days, we will make payments to each holder of Registrable Shares as monetary penalties at a rate equal to 12% of the offering price in the Private Placement per annum for each share affected during the period; provided, however, that in no event will the aggregate of any such penalties exceed 8% of the offering price per share in the Private Placement.
In addition, following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, the holders of Registrable Shares and our stockholders prior to the Merger (but not holders of the shares issued to the stockholders of Miramar in consideration for the Merger) will have “piggyback” registration rights for such Registrable Shares with respect to any registration statement filed by us that would permit the inclusion of such shares, subject to customary cutback in an underwritten offering, which would be pro rata.
We will pay all expenses in connection with any registration obligation provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, stock exchange fees, printing expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with applicable securities laws, and the fees and disbursements of our counsel and of our independent accountants. Each investor will be responsible for its own sales commissions, if any, transfer taxes and the expenses of any attorney or other advisor such investor decides to employ.
Anti-Takeover Effects or Provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our Amended and Restated Bylaws and Delaware Law
Some provisions of Delaware law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: acquisition of us
by means of a tender offer; acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for our shares.
These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of a non-friendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Delaware
Anti-Takeover Statute
We are subject to Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:
|
|
•
|
before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested holder;
|
|
|
•
|
upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
|
|
|
•
|
on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66
2
/
3
% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
|
In general, Section 203 defines business combination to include the following:
|
|
•
|
any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
|
|
|
•
|
any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;
|
|
|
•
|
subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
|
|
|
•
|
any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
|
|
|
•
|
the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loss, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.
|
In general, Section 203 defines interested stockholder as an entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.
Undesignated Preferred Stock
The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of the Company.
Special
Stockholder Meetings
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by our board of directors, the chairperson of our board of directors, or our Chief Executive Officer or President. This provision might delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.
Requirements
for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
Our amended and restated bylaws have established advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors. Our amended and restated bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice.
Elimination
of Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws eliminate the right of stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of our capital stock would not be able to amend our amended and restated bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our amended and restated bylaws.
Classified
Board; Election and Removal of Directors
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws authorize only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors is permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by our board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors but promotes continuity of management.
Our board of directors is divided into three classes. The directors in each class serve for a three‑year term, one class being elected each year by our stockholders, with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three‑year terms. Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, our stockholders holding a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding are able to elect all of our directors. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that directors may only be removed for cause. For more information on the classified board, see “Directors and Executive Officers — Classified board of directors.” This system of electing and removing directors may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise
attempting to obtain control of us, because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors.
Choice
of Forum
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty, any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws, or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
Amendment
of Charter Provisions
The amendment of any of the above provisions, except for the provision making it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock, would require approval by holders of at least 66
2
/
3
% of the voting power of our then outstanding voting stock.
The provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters
For a discussion of liability and indemnification, please see the section titled “Directors and Executive Officers—Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters.”
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Globex Transfer, LLC. The transfer agent and registrar’s address is 780 Deltona Blvd., Suite 202, Deltona, FL 32725 and its telephone number is (813) 344-4490.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods when disposing of the shares or interests therein:
|
|
•
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
|
•
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
|
•
|
through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act solely as agents;
|
|
|
•
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
|
•
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
|
•
|
privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
|
•
|
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
|
|
|
•
|
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
|
•
|
a combination of any such methods of disposition; and
|
|
|
•
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, if available, rather than under this Prospectus, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of these provisions, including the requirements of Rule 144(i) applicable to former “shell companies.”
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares covered by this Prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act and the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this Prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities
Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this Prospectus.
To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the selling stockholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the shares covered by this Prospectus by such selling stockholders. Upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with an underwriter, broker-dealer or agent for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this Prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such underwriter, broker-dealer or agent, where applicable, (v) that such underwriter, broker-dealer or agent did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that a donee or pledge intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, we will file a supplement to this Prospectus if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Prospectus.
In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short after the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this Prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
We have advised the selling stockholders that they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common stock offered by the selling stockholders.We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or otherwise. Once sold under the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates. We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this Prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (a) the date that is two years from the date it is declared effective by the SEC and
(b) the date on which all the securities registered hereunder have been sold under this Prospectus or pursuant to Rule 144.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
There currently is a limited public market for our common stock. The selling stockholders will determine at what price they may sell the offered shares, and such sales may be made at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. See “Plan of Distribution” above for more information.
MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS
The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the ownership and disposition of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a Non-U.S. Holder. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock.
This discussion is limited to Non-U.S. Holders that hold our common stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and
certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our common stock and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.
INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.
Definition of a Non-U.S. Holder
For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of our common stock that is neither a “U.S. person” nor an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. person is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:
|
|
•
|
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;
|
|
|
•
|
a corporation created or organized under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia
(including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes);
|
|
|
•
|
an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
|
|
|
•
|
a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and all substantial decisions of which are subject to the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
|
Distributions
As described in the section entitled “Dividend Policy,” we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions of cash or property on our common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Amounts not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and first be applied against and reduce a Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under “Sale or Other Taxable Disposition.”
Subject to the discussion below on effectively connected income, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the lower treaty rate). A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.
If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the U.S. to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt
from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S.
Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.
Sale or Other Taxable Disposition
A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:
|
|
•
|
the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the U.S. to which such gain is attributable);
|
|
|
•
|
the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; or
|
|
|
•
|
our common stock constitutes a
United States
real property interest (“USRPI”) by reason of our status as a
United States
real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
|
Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.
Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the U.S.), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.
With respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends, however, on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not a USRPHC or will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our common stock is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of our common stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period.
Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Payments of dividends on our common stock will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any dividends on our common stock paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock within the U.S. or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting, if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person, or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our common stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker that does not have certain enumerated relationships with the U.S. generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.
Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Additional Withholding Tax on Payments Made to Foreign Accounts
Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or “FATCA”) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on, or gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code), unless (1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (2) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States-owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.
Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends on our common stock, and will apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of such stock on or after January 1, 2019.
Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in our common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
Miramar Labs, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Miramar Labs, Inc. and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MIRAMAR LABS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
1.
The Company and Basis of Presentation
Miramar Labs, Inc., or the Company, was incorporated in the state of Delaware on April 4, 2006. The Company has developed clinical systems to address hyperhidrosis. In February 2011, the Company received approval from the U.S. Food and to Drug Administration (FDA) to market the miraDry System to eliminate underarm sweat glands. The Company’s principal markets are in the U.S., Asia-Pacific and Europe. During 2011, the Company commercially launched its initial product, the miraDry System, a clinical system to address hyperhidrosis.
The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong that overseas operations in Asia. The subsidiary, Miramar Labs HK Limited, was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong on January 2013 and commenced operations during fiscal year 2013.
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. From April 4, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $93,447,128. The Company has not achieved positive cash flow from operations. In order to continue its operations, the Company must raise additional equity or debt financing and achieve profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. The failure to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms, when needed, could have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and future cash flows.
To achieve profitable operations, the Company must successfully continue to develop, enhance, manufacture, and market its products. There can be no assurance that any such products can continue to be developed or manufactured at an acceptable cost and with appropriate performance characteristics, or that such products will be successfully marketed. These factors could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial results, financial position and future cash flows.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to inventory valuation and reserves, warranty accruals, deferred tax asset valuation allowance and valuation of equity and equity-linked instruments (common stock, options and warrants).
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The restricted cash balance consists of a letter of credit related to an operating lease.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with one financial institution in the U.S. Deposits in this institution may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2015, the Company’s uninsured cash balances totaled $2,573,267.
The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires deposits from its customers. The Company generally does not charge interest on past due accounts. The Company’s customers representing greater than 10% of accounts receivable and revenue were as follows:

Sales in the U.S. consisted of 42% and 41% of total revenue, in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The remainder of the Company’s sales come primarily from Asia-Pacific and Europe.
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the medical device industry including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, uncertainty of market acceptance of products, product liability and the need to obtain additional financing.
The medical device industry has been characterized by frequent and extensive intellectual property litigation. Competitors or other patent holders may assert that the Company’s devices and methods employed are covered by their patents. If the Company’s devices or methods are found to infringe, the Company could be prevented from manufacturing or marketing its products, which could have a materially adverse impact on the Company.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market value and consist of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. Cost is determined using standard costs, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Market value is determined as the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated excess or obsolete inventory equal to the difference between the cost and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demands and market conditions.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs related to the Company’s products are expensed as incurred and are included in cost of sales.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of the miraDry system, related consumables and accessories, and separately priced extended warranties. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605). Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss has transferred to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company has distributor agreements with several international distributors. Certain distributor agreements contain product repurchase provisions. The Company defers revenue for its potential exposure for product repurchases.
In 2013, the Company introduced leasing programs for customers to evaluate the miraDry system for a defined rental period and then return or purchase the leased equipment. Each lease was evaluated by the Company according to FASB Accounting Standards Codification 840, Leases (ASC 840) and recorded as an operating or capital lease. Rental income from the operating leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the rental term and the related depreciation of the leased equipment is recorded in cost of revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Included in revenue is rental income of $45,900 and $575,900 in 2015 and 2014, respectively. Included in cost of revenue is depreciation expense on the leased equipment of $20,466 and $701,602 in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The leased equipment and related accumulated depreciation is recorded in property and equipment in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leased equipment with a cost of $305,787 and related accumulated depreciation of $204,000 is included in property and equipment, net at December 31, 2014. The leasing program was discontinued in 2015 and no leased equipment or related accumulated depreciation was recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2015.
For capital leases, $225,058 of revenue was recognized in 2014. No capital lease revenue was recognized in 2015. Capital lease receivables of $13,139 and $104,728 are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
In 2015, the Company reintroduced the Market Validation Program (MVP), which contained a right of return less a restocking fee, during the contract period. The Company defers revenue until the equipment is either returned or purchased. Equipment at customers under this program of $168,143 is recorded in property and equipment and $19,200 is recorded in deferred revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2015.
The Company provides cooperative marketing programs as part of certain customer purchase agreements and qualification through marketing rewards programs. The programs generally provide for reimbursement up to 50% of qualifying marketing expenditures that promote the Company’s products and brand. In order to qualify for the reimbursement, the customer must (1) have pre-approval from the Company’s marketing group to ascertain that the marketing adheres to the established brand style guidelines and only feature miraDry system products and the customer’s practice and (2) submit proof of payment and invoice for the marketing expenses. Through this review, the Company ensures that the fair value of the separately identifiable benefit received is equal to or greater than the amount being reimbursed. The Company’s reimbursement of marketing expenditures under these programs are recorded in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Product Warranty
The Company warrants the miraDry System for a period of one to two years, depending on the territory. The Company accrues for warranty costs at the time of sale based on an estimate of total repair costs for all miraDry systems under the warranty period. An extended warranty or service plan may be purchased for additional fees.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company regularly reviews accounts receivable balances, including an analysis of customers’ payment history and information regarding the customers’ creditworthiness, and records an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon this evaluation. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $60,000 and $40,000 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company writes off accounts against the allowance when all attempts at collection have been exhausted.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. All property and equipment is depreciated on a straight‑line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:
|
|
|
Machinery and equipment
|
5 years
|
Computer and office equipment/software
|
3 years
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
5 years
|
Leased equipment
|
1-2 years
|
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or the life of the lease. Upon sale or retirement of the assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Research and Development Expenditures
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. These amounts include, but are not limited to, direct costs and research related overhead expenses.
Marketing and Advertising Expenditures
The cost of marketing and advertising is expensed as incurred. Marketing and advertising costs totaled $1,449,845 and $1,503,794, in 2015 and 2014, respectively
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. When such an event occurs, management determines whether there has been an impairment by comparing the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows from the asset to the related asset’s carrying value. If an asset is considered impaired, the asset is written down to fair value, which is determined based either on discounted cash flows or appraised value, depending on the nature of the asset. Through December 31, 2015, the Company has not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities and level 1 market interest rates. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value based upon the present value of expected future cash flows and level 2 assumptions about current interest rates available to the Company. The carrying amount of the preferred stock warrant liability has been marked-to-market such that the carrying amount represents its fair value (Note 4).
Freestanding Preferred Stock Warrants
Freestanding warrants and other similar instruments related to shares that are redeemable are accounted for in accordance with ASC 480, “
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
.” The Company’s freestanding warrants are exercisable into the Company’s convertible preferred stock and are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and the change in fair value, if any, is recognized as other income (expense). The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of (i) exercise of the warrants, (ii) conversion into warrants to purchase common stock (upon conversion of the preferred stock to common), or (iii) expiration of the warrants.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
The Company adheres to the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 740-10), “
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
.” ASC 740-10 prescribes a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure in financial statements of any uncertain tax positions that have been taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.
It is the Company’s policy to include penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as a component of other expense, net, as necessary.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries for which the local currency is the functional currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to the other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign exchange gains and losses (as well as re-measurement gains and losses) for assets and liabilities of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries for which the functional currency is the U.S. dollar are recorded in other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company’s consolidated operations.
Stock‑Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 “
Compensation-Stock Compensation.
” ASC 718 requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair
value of all share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. All option grants valued since inception are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to nonemployees in accordance with ASC 505-50 “
Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.
” Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest.
Segment and Geographic Information
The Company has one business activity, which is the sale of the miraDry system to address hyperhidrosis, and operates in one reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker, its chief executive officer, reviews its operating results on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.
Net Loss per Share
The Company’s basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by giving effect to all potential common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method. For purposes of this calculation, convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock are considered to be common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their effect is anti-dilutive, due to the Company’s reported net losses.
Preferred Stock
Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. The Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares, which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. At all other times, the Company classifies its preferred shares in stockholders’ equity. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, all issuances of conditionally redeemable preferred shares are presented as temporary equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606
).” The amendment in this ASU provides guidance on revenue recognition and requires companies to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The core principle of this update provides guidance to identify the performance obligations under the contract(s) with a customer and how to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. It further provides guidance to recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08,
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations” (“ASU 2016-08”).
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying
Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”)
. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12,
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”)
. ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 all update and clarify the guidance previously issued in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09, as amended, allows for two methods of adoption, a full retrospective method or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15,
“Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”)
. The update sets forth a requirement for management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, a responsibility that did not previously exist in GAAP. The amendments included in this update require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period, including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). ASU 2014-15 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2016. The Company is currently assessing the future impact of this update on its financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03,
“Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (ASU 2015-03”)
. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard and has accordingly reclassified debt issuance costs of $225,438 as of December 31, 2014 as a deduction of notes payable.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11,
“Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.”
This update requires inventory that is recorded using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost method to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value (defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation), as opposed to the existing requirement to measure such inventory at the lower of cost or market value. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe adoption will have any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
“Leases (Topic 842).”
The guidance in this update supersedes the leasing guidance in
“Leases (Topic 840).”
Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. For public entities, the new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,
“Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”
This update will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It will also allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. For public entities, the new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|
FASB Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) established a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and clarified the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 does not require assets and liabilities that were previously recorded at cost to be recorded at fair value. For assets and liabilities that are already required to be disclosed at fair value, ASC 820 introduced, or reiterated, a number of key concepts that form the foundation of the fair value measurement approach to be used for financial reporting purposes. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates that it would receive in connection with the sale of an asset or paid in connection with the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). ASC 820 also established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:
|
|
Level 1.
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
|
|
|
Level 2.
|
Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
|
|
|
Level 3.
|
Unobservable inputs.
|
ASC 820 introduced new disclosures about how the Company values certain assets and liabilities. Much of the disclosure focuses on the inputs used to measure fair value, particularly in instances in which the measurement uses significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. The Company’s cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The Company’s preferred stock warrant liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The preferred stock warrant liability has been valued using a Black-Scholes valuation model and the related input assumptions are discussed in Note 9.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, as of December 31, 2015, and 2014 are as follows:

5. Related Party Transactions
The Company was formed at an incubator, The Foundry, LLC (The Foundry), a company which provides seed capital and management services to its investees. Certain employees of The Foundry serve as members of the Company’s board of directors and own shares of common stock. The total amount reimbursed to The Foundry for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $62,267 and $62,180, respectively.
In February 2008, the Company entered into a technology license and royalty agreement with The Foundry wherein the Company agreed to pay The Foundry a royalty of 1.5% of sales of the licensed products and 1.5% of the patented products, up to a maximum of $30 million. In March 2013, the total royalty percentage increased from 1.5% to 3% due to the issuance of a patent covering certain company products. The total amount payable to The Foundry for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $1,226,973 and $693,717, respectively, which includes interest accrued at the annual interest rate of prime plus 1% beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter to which such payment relates. In addition, $250,000 in royalty payments was paid to The Foundry in 2014. No royalties were paid in 2015.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnification Agreements
The Company enters into standard indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with any trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to its technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after the execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these arrangements is not determinable. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors that may require the Company to indemnify its directors against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual.
No liability associated with such indemnifications has been recorded at December 31, 2015 or 2014.
Legal
Claims
Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
Operating
and Capital Leases
In December 2013, the Company entered into a 62 month non-cancelable operating lease for its office building space in Santa Clara, California. In connection with the lease, the Company entered into a letter of credit, which is secured by a restricted cash balance of $295,067. The Company previously had a five year non-cancelable operating lease for its office building space in Sunnyvale, California that expired in June 2014.
The Company also has a one year operating lease for office space in Hong Kong which expires in November 2016. The previous lease agreements for office space in Hong Kong expired in November 2015.
Rent expense under the Company’s operating leases was $567,032 and $617,570 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The difference between rent payable and rent expense on a straight-line basis is recorded as deferred rent and amortized over the period of the lease.
The Company has the following agreements classified as capital leases:

The gross cost of capital leases was $129,398 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The accumulated amortization of asset under capital leases was $57,479 and $22,615 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company depreciates the underlying assets on a straight line basis over the lesser of estimated useful lives of the assets or lease term.

7. Notes Payable
In June 2013, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with certain financial institutions, providing for the issuance of secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $15 million to be drawn down in three different tranches of $5 million each. The first $5 million tranche was drawn on June 27, 2013 and the second $5 million tranche was drawn on April 29, 2014. The agreement provided for the promissory notes to be issued no later than December 31, 2014. The promissory notes for the first tranche accrued interest at 9.34% per annum and monthly interest only payments commenced on July 1, 2013. The promissory notes for the second tranche accrued interest at 9.52% per annum and monthly interest only payments commenced on May 1, 2014. The principal and interest payments commenced on February 1, 2015 for both tranches.
In August 2015, the Company refinanced the outstanding balance of the loan and security agreement entered into in June 2013. The new $10 million promissory note accrues interest at 7.80% per annum and monthly interest only payments commenced on September 1, 2015. Principal and interest payments shall commence on January 1, 2017.
All borrowings under the agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. There are no significant financial covenants. The agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause. Failure to comply with the loan covenants may result in the acceleration of payment terms on all outstanding principal and interest amounts plus a prepayment fee. Due to the subjective acceleration clause, the outstanding notes payable are classified
as current in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants.
In December 2015, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with existing private investors to draw down up to $1.5 million for working capital purposes. The Company subsequently issued $1.3 million of convertible promissory notes (“December 2015 notes”). The December 2015 notes accrued interest at 8% per annum and are due at the earliest of a liquidation event or one year from date of issuance. In the event of a qualified equity financing, the outstanding principal and interest on the notes payable will automatically convert into shares of the qualified financing shares at a price equal to the price per share paid by investors in the qualified equity financing. In the event of a non-qualified financing, the shares will be converted at the option of the majority of the investors. If there is no financing event prior to the maturity date, the outstanding principal and interest on the notes payable will automatically convert into shares of Series D preferred stock at $21.64 per share.
The Company entered into short term financing agreements for insurance premiums with nine month payment terms and interest rates ranging from 4.95% to 5.18%. The outstanding balance of the financing agreements was $40,899 and $44,692 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

10. Stock Option Plan
In April 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) under which the Board of Directors may issue incentive and nonqualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants. The Board of Directors has the authority to determine to whom options will be granted, the number of shares, the term and the exercise price. If an individual owns stock representing more than 10% of the outstanding shares, the price of each share shall be at least 110% of the fair market value, as determined by the Board of Directors. The exercise price of an incentive stock option and a nonqualified stock option shall not be less than 100% and 85%, respectively, of the fair market value on the date of grant. A total of 961,477 shares have been reserved for issuance under the Plan. Options granted have a term of ten years, except, options granted to individuals holding more than 10% of the outstanding shares have a term of five years. As of December 31, 2015, no options issued or outstanding have a term of five years. Options generally vest over a four-year period. Certain shares issued under the Plan are exercisable immediately, but subject to a right of repurchase by the Company of any unvested shares.

Early exercises of stock options are subject to a right of repurchase by the Company of any unvested shares. The repurchase rights lapse over the original vesting period of the options. The Company accounts for the cash received in consideration for the early exercised options as a liability included in accrued liabilities, which is then reclassified to stockholders equity as the options vest. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no shares of common stock subject to repurchase under the Plan.
Stock-Based Compensation Associated with Awards to Employees
During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company granted stock options to employees to purchase 172,102 and 335,213 shares of common stock, respectively, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $3.52 and $3.65 per share, respectively. Stock-based employee compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, was $545,501 and $477,203, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, there were total unrecognized compensation costs of $1,087,675 related to these stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 2.48 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $49,580 and $13,155, respectively.
The total fair value of employee options vested during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $715,085 and $269,863, respectively.
The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of employee stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair value of employee stock options was estimated using the following assumptions:

The expected term of stock options is calculated using the simplified method which represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding, as the Company did not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry peers, as the Company did not have any trading history for the Company’s common stock. The Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term assumption as more historical data for the Company’s common stock becomes available. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.
In addition, forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on management’s expectation using historical forfeiture patterns.
Stock-Based Compensation Associated with Awards to Nonemployees
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company granted stock options to a board advisor to purchase 99,313 shares of common stock at $7.57. The shares vest monthly over four years and expire in ten years. Stock-
based compensation expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2015 was $61,416. As of December 31, 2015, there were total unrecognized compensation costs of $260,554 related to this stock option. These costs are expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 3.29 years. No shares were issued and no compensation expense was recognized for nonemployees during the year ended December 31, 2014.
The fair value of the stock options granted to nonemployees is calculated at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of stock options granted to nonemployees as of December 31, 2015.

Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company has provided full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014. The valuation allowance increased by $5,521,000 and $4,880,000 during years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $82,592,000 and $66,799,000 available to reduce future taxable income, if any, for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforwards begin expiring in 2026, and the state net operating loss carryforwards begin expiring in 2016.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $1,393,000 and $1,465,000 available to reduce future taxable income, if any, for federal and California state income tax purposes, respectively. The federal credit carryforwards begin expiring in 2026, and the California R&D credits carryforward indefinitely.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. In the event the Company has had a change in ownership, utilization of the carryforwards could be limited.
The Company is not currently under audit by any tax authorities. The statute of limitations is open for all years due to the carryover and potential future usage of net operating loss carryovers.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit of $471,858 and $431,657. No liability, penalties or interest expense has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. A reconciliation of the change in unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

12. Employee Benefit Plan
The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan covering all employees. Contributions made by the Company are discretionary and are determined annually by the board of directors. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the Company had accrued benefit expenses of $52,752 and $48,183, which represented a 100% match for employee contributions up to $1,000 made during the calendar year.

14. Subsequent Events
In February 2016, the Company entered into another note purchase agreement with existing private investors to draw down up to $2.7 million for working capital purposes. If the investors agreed to purchase the full amount available under the February 2016 note purchase agreement, the December 2015 outstanding notes would be cancelled and the February 2016 note purchase agreement would be increased by the outstanding principal and interest due on the December 2015 notes payable. The Company subsequently cancelled and reissued $1.3 million of the December 2015 notes and issued $2.6 million of convertible promissory notes that accrue interest at 8% per year and are due at the earliest of a liquidation event or one year from date of issuance. In the event of a qualified equity financing, the outstanding principal and interest on the notes payable will automatically convert into shares of the qualified financing shares at a price equal to the price per share paid by investors in the qualified equity financing. In the event of a non-qualified financing, the shares will be converted at the option of the majority of the investors. If there is no financing event prior to the maturity date, the outstanding principal and interest on the notes payable will automatically convert into shares of Series D preferred stock at $1.60 per share.
In May 2016, the Company entered into another note purchase agreement with existing private investors to draw down up to $4.85 million for working capital purposes. If the investors agreed to purchase the full amount available under the May 2016 note purchase agreement, the February 2016 outstanding notes would be cancelled and the May 2016 note purchase agreement would be increased by the outstanding principal and interest due on the February 2016 notes payable. The Company subsequently cancelled and reissued $2.6 million of the February 2016 notes and issued $1.7 million of convertible promissory notes that accrue interest at 8% per year and are due at the earliest of a liquidation event or one year from date of issuance. In the event of a qualified equity financing, the outstanding principal and interest on the notes payable will automatically convert into shares of the qualified financing shares at a price equal to the price per share paid by investors in the qualified equity financing. In the event of a non-qualified financing, the shares will be converted at the option of the majority of the investors. If there is no
financing event prior to the maturity date, the outstanding principal and interest on the notes payable will automatically convert into shares of Series D preferred stock at $1.60 per share.
On June 7, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-13.5259 reverse stock split of the Company
’
s then outstanding common stock and convertible preferred stock (collectively referred to as
“
Capital Stock
”
) and convertible preferred stock warrants, in which (i) each 13.5259 share of outstanding Capital Stock at the conversion price was combined into 1 share of Capital Stock; (ii) the number of outstanding options to purchase each Capital Stock was proportionately reduced on a 1-for-13.5259 basis; (iii) number of shares reserved for future option grants under the 2006 Plan were proportionately reduced on a 1-for-13.5259 basis; (iv) the exercise price of each such outstanding option was proportionately increased on a 13.5259-for-1 basis and (v) each share of outstanding preferred stock warrants was proportionately reduced to a common stock warrant on a 1-for-13.5259 basis. All of the share and per share amounts have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect the 1-for-13.5259 reverse stock split (Note 7, 8, 9, 10, 13).
Management has evaluated all transactions and events through May 18, 2016, the date on which these financial statements were issued and did not note any items that would adjust the financial statements or require additional disclosures.

Background and Organization
|
On June 7, 2016 (the Closing Date), the Company, Acquisition Sub and Miramar entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the Merger Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub merged with and into Miramar, and Miramar became the surviving corporation and thus became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the Merger). Prior to the Merger, the Company discontinued its prior business of distributing water filtration systems produced in China, and acquired the business of Miramar, which designs, manufactures and markets the miraDry System, which is designed to eliminate axillary, or underarm, sweat.
At the Closing Date, each of the shares of Miramar’s common stock and preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1:0.07393 (the Conversion Ratio). Additionally, warrants to purchase shares of Miramar’s Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were converted into warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Ratio.
The Merger was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition of the Company for financial accounting purposes. Miramar is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and the Company’s historical financial statements before the Merger will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Miramar before the Merger in future filings with the SEC. For more details on the Merger, see “Explanatory Note” section above and Item 2.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 13, 2016, as amended on June 14, 2016.
The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Miramar, develop clinical systems to address hyperhidrosis. In January 2011, Miramar received approval from the U.S. Food and to Drug Administration (FDA), to market the miraDry System to eliminate underarm sweat glands. The Company’s principal markets are the U.S., Asia-Pacific and Europe. During 2012, Miramar Technologies, Inc. commercially launched its first product, the miraDry System, a clinical system to address hyperhidrosis.
Miramar has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Miramar Labs HK Limited, which was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong in January 2013. Miramar Labs HK Limited commenced its operations during 2013 to oversee operations in Asia and is located in Hong Kong.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, for interim financial information and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the same basis and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, and no representation is made thereto.
In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations for each interim period shown. All such adjustments occur in the ordinary course of business and are of a normal, recurring nature.
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, Miramar Labs, Inc. had incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. From April 4, 2006 (date of inception) to June 30, 2016, Miramar Labs, Inc. had an accumulated deficit of $106,529,721. The Company has not achieved positive cash flow from operations. To date, the Company has been funded primarily by preferred stock and debt financings. In order to continue its operations, the Company must raise additional equity or debt financing and
achieve profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. The failure to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms, when needed, could have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and future cash flows.
To achieve profitable operations, the Company must successfully continue to develop, enhance, manufacture, and market its products. There can be no assurance that any such products can continue to be developed or manufactured at an acceptable cost and with appropriate performance characteristics, or that such products will be successfully marketed. These factors could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial results, financial position and future cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to inventory valuation and reserves, warranty accruals, deferred tax asset valuation allowance and valuation of equity and equity-linked instruments (common stock, options and warrants).
Concentration
of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with one financial institution in the U.S. Deposits in this institution may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. At June 30, 2016, the Company’s uninsured cash balances totaled $8,118,489.
The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires deposits from its customers. The Company generally does not charge interest on past due accounts. The Company’s customers representing greater than 10% of accounts receivable and revenue were as follows:

Sales in North America consisted of 43% and 43% of total revenue, in the six month periods ended in June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The remainder of the Company’s sales came primarily from Asia-Pacific and Europe.
Generally, the second quarter tends to be stronger than the third quarter, when vacations and holidays are more prevalent in North America and Europe.
Amplifiers used in the production of the miraDry system are manufactured in the U.S. and bioTips are manufactured in China. These single source suppliers of these critical components may not be replaced without significant effort and delay in production. If the operations of these manufacturers are interrupted or if they are unable to meet our delivery requirements due to capacity limitations or other constraints, the Company may be limited in its ability to fulfill customer orders or to repair equipment at current customer sites.
Significant
Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed on Form 8-K on June 13, 2016.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed on Form 8-K on June 13, 2016.
Our critical accounting policies have not changed during the three or six months ended June 30, 2016. Furthermore, the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our management believes that we consistently apply these judgments and estimates and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes fairly represent all periods presented. However, any differences between these judgments and estimates and actual results could have a material impact on our consolidated statements of income and financial position.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|
Fair Value Measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (the observable inputs) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (the unobservable inputs). Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.
The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
|
|
Level 1.
|
Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities identical assets and liabilities;
|
|
|
Level 2.
|
Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
|
|
|
Level 3.
|
Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
|
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, were as follows:

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Assumptions used in valuing the warrant liabilities are discussed in Note 9 below. The principal assumptions used, and their impact on valuations were as follows:
Stock Price
- As a private company, there was no actively traded market for the Company’s stock and the Company used commonly accepted valuation techniques such as the discounted cash flows, market comparables and recent actual stock sales to derive an estimate of the fair value of its stock. An increase in value of the stock will increase the value of the warrant liability. Upon closing of the Merger, the Company became a publicly traded company and began using its publicly traded stock price.
Risk-Free Interest Rate
- This is the U.S. Treasury rate for the measurement date having a term equal to the weighted average expected remaining term of the instrument. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase the fair value of the warrant liability.
Expected Remaining Term
- This is the period of time over which the instrument is expected to remain outstanding and is based on management’s estimate, taking into consideration the remaining contractual life, historical experience and the possibility of liquidation. An increase in the expected remaining term will increase the fair value of the warrant liability.
Expected Volatility
- This is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s common stock price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. The Company uses the historic volatility of a group of comparable peer publicly traded companies over the retrospective period corresponding to the expected remaining term of the instrument on the measurement date. An increase in the expected volatility will increase the fair value of the warrant liability. Since the Company is newly public, it does not have sufficient trading history to estimate it’s own volatility.
Dividend Yield
- The Company has not made any dividend payments and does not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. An increase in the dividend yield will decrease the fair value of the warrant liability.
The changes in the warrant liability are summarized below:

Related Party Transactions
|
Miramar Technologies, Inc. was formed at an incubator, The Foundry, LLC, or The Foundry, a company which provides seed capital and management services to its investees. Certain employees of The Foundry serve as members of the Company’s board of directors and own shares of our common stock. The total amount reimbursed to The Foundry for services provided as members of the Company’s board of directors was $31,785 and $31,834, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
In February 2008, Miramar Technologies, Inc. entered into a technology license and royalty agreement with The Foundry wherein Miramar Technologies, Inc. agreed to pay The Foundry a royalty of 1.5% of sales of the licensed products and 1.5% of the patented products, up to a maximum of $30 million. In March 2013, the total royalty percentage increased from 1.5% to 3.0% due to the issuance of a patent covering certain products of the Company. The total amount payable to The Foundry as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $1,598,256 and $1,226,973, respectively, which included interest accrued at the annual interest rate of the prime rate quoted by the Wall Street Journal plus 1% beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter to which such payment relates. No royalties were paid during the six months ended June 30, 2016 or in the year ended December 31, 2015.

Commitments and Contingencies
|
Indemnification Agreements
The Company enters into standard indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with any trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to its technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after the execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these arrangements is not determinable. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain executive officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual.
No liability associated with such indemnifications has been recorded at June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.
Legal Claims
On July 20, 2015, a lawsuit alleging product liability, breach of warranty and negligence was filed against the Company in the Orange County Superior Court. The plaintiff alleged, among other things, that the Company was liable to plaintiff for injuries suffered due to defects in a certain miraDry device. We believe that there is no merit to the claims against the Company and the Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit, but the outcome of any potential litigation matter is uncertain. Management does not believe that resolution of this matter will have a material negative effect on our operating results.
Other than the foregoing, we are currently not aware of any pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our property is the subject, nor are we aware of any such proceedings that are contemplated by any governmental authority. Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is probable that a liability has been incurred, and when the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
Operating and Capital Leases
Rent expense under the Company’s operating leases was $289,282 and $284,824 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The difference between rent payable and rent expense on a straight-line basis is recorded as deferred rent and amortized over the period of the lease.
The aggregate future minimum lease payments under all leases are as follows:

In August 2015, the Company refinanced the outstanding balance of the $10 million loan and security agreement entered into in June 2013. The new agreement provided for the issuance of secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $20 million to be drawn down in two additional tranches of $5 million each, subject to certain financial milestones. The refinanced $10 million promissory note accrues interest at 7.80% per annum and monthly interest payments commenced on September 1, 2015. Principal and interest payments will commence on January 1, 2017.
All borrowings under the agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. There are no significant financial covenants. The agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause. Failure to comply with the loan covenants may result in the acceleration of payment of all outstanding principal and interest amounts plus a prepayment fee. Due to the subjective acceleration clause, the outstanding notes payable are classified as current in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants.
In December 2015, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with existing private investors to draw down up to $1.5 million for working capital purposes. The Company subsequently issued $1.3 million of convertible promissory notes (December 2015 Notes). In February 2016, the Company entered into another note purchase agreement (February 2016 NPA) with existing private investors to draw down up to $2.7 million for working capital purposes. If the investors agreed to purchase the full amount available under the February 2016 NPA, the December 2015 Notes would be canceled and the February 2016 NPA would be increased by the outstanding principal and interest due on the December 2015 Notes. The Company subsequently canceled and reissued $1.3 million of the December 2015 Notes and issued $2.7 million of convertible promissory notes (February 2016 Notes). In May
2016, the Company increased the aggregate principal amount of the notes that may be issued under the February 2016 Notes from $2.7 million to $4.85 million and subsequently issued $2.0 million of additional convertible promissory notes.
Per the terms of the notes, interest was accrued at 8% per year and were due at the earliest of a liquidation event or one year from date of issuance. In the event of a qualified equity financing, the outstanding principal and interest on the notes payable would automatically convert into shares of the qualified financing shares at a price equal to the price per share paid by the investors in the qualified equity financing. In the event of a non-qualified financing, the shares would be converted at the option of the majority of the investors. If there was no financing event prior to the maturity date, the outstanding principal and interest on the notes payable would automatically convert into shares of Series D preferred stock at $21.64 per share.
In June 2016, in connection with the Merger, $6 million of outstanding notes were converted into 2,828,469 shares of common stock. The notes that were not converted according to their original conversion terms incurred a loss on debt conversion of $8,062,001.
The Company entered into short term financing agreements for insurance premiums with nine month payment terms and interest rates ranging from 4.95% to 5.18%. The outstanding balance of the financing agreements was $307,643 at June 30, 2016 and $40,889 at December 31, 2015.
Annual future principal payments under the notes payable are as follows:

MIRAMAR LABS, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Miramar Labs, Inc. was originally incorporated as Spacepath, Inc. in Nevada on December 28, 2012. We subsequently changed our name to KTL Bamboo International Corp. on March 18, 2015 and changed our name again to Miramar Labs, Inc. on June 7, 2016. Prior to the Merger and Split-Off (each described below), we were in the business of distributing water filtration systems produced in China.
As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 13, 2016 as amended on June 14, 2016, we declared a 1.801801-for-1 forward stock split of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, on May 24, 2016 in the form of a dividend with the record date of May 31, 2016. On June 8, 2016, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA), notified us of its announcement of the payment date of the stock split as June 2, 2016 and ex-dividend date of the stock split as June 9, 2016. On the payment date, as a result of the stock split, each holder of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, as of the record date received an additional 0.801801 share of our common stock for each share, resulting in issuance of an additional 2,004,503 shares of common stock to the 2,500,000 shares of our common stock before the stock split. As of the ex-dividend date, our common stock began trading on a post-split adjusted basis. Also on May 26, 2016, we changed our name to Miramar Labs, Inc. by filing the Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. Additionally, on June 7, 2016 (the Closing Date), we changed our domicile from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware by reincorporation (the Conversion), and as a result of the Conversion, our corporate matters and affairs ceased to be governed by the Nevada Revised Statutes and became subject to the Delaware General Corporation Law. All share and per share numbers in this Prospectus relating to our common stock have been adjusted to give effect to this forward stock split and this Conversion, unless otherwise stated. On the Closing Date, we adopted the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation by filing the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and adopted the Amended and Restated Bylaws. Upon effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, we decreased our authorized capital stock from 300 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 10 million shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 100 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5 million shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.
On the Closing Date, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Miramar Acquisition Corp., a corporation formed in the State of Delaware on June 2, 2016 (the Acquisition Sub) merged with and into Miramar Technologies, Inc., a corporation incorporated in April 2006 in the State of Delaware, originally under the name of Miramar Labs, Inc. (Miramar) (such transaction, the Merger). Pursuant to the Merger, Miramar was the surviving corporation and became our wholly-owned subsidiary. All of the outstanding capital stock of Miramar was converted into shares of our common stock, as described in more detail below.
Further, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, under the terms of a split-off agreement and a general release agreement (the Split-Off Agreement), the Company transferred all of its pre-Merger operating assets and liabilities to its wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, Spacepath Enterprise Corp., a Nevada corporation formed on June 2, 2016 (the Split-Off Subsidiary). Thereafter, pursuant to the Split-Off Agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Split-Off Subsidiary to the pre-Merger majority stockholder of the Company, and the former sole officer and director of the Company, in consideration of and in exchange for (i) the surrender and cancellation of an aggregate of 3,603,602 shares of our common stock (which were cancelled and will resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock) and (ii) certain representations, covenants and indemnities (together, the Split-Off).
As a result of the Merger and the Split-Off, we discontinued our pre-Merger business, acquired the business of Miramar and continued the existing business operations of Miramar as a publicly-traded company under the name Miramar Labs, Inc.
At the Closing Date, each of the shares of Miramar’s common stock and preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into shares of our common stock at a ratio of 1:0.07393, or the Conversion Ratio. Additionally, warrants to purchase shares of Miramar’s Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were converted into warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at the Conversion Ratio. As a result, an aggregate of 6,486,891 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock were issued to the holders of Miramar’s capital stock and warrants which included shares resulting from the conversion of certain existing convertible promissory notes. Finally, 11,603,764 options to purchase shares of Miramar’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were assumed and converted into 857,634 options to purchase shares of our common stock, after taking into account the Conversion Ratio.
Also on the Closing Date, we entered into a subscription agreement, or the Subscription Agreement, with certain accredited investors, providing for the issuance and sale to such investors of an aggregate of 1,810,708 shares of common stock
at a purchase price of $5.00 per share, or the Offering Price
.
On June 30, 2016, we closed a private placement offering in which we sold an aggregate of 51,759 shares of our common stock at the Offering Price. On July 21, 2016, we completed another closing of a private placement offering in which we sold an aggregate of 36,000 shares of our common stock at the Offering Price. On August 8, 2016, we closed another private placement offering in which we sold an aggregate of 80,100 shares of our common stock at the Offering Price. Together with our initial offering held on June 7, 2016 and the three subsequent closings, we sold an aggregate of 1,978,567 shares of our common stock and raised gross proceeds of approximately $9.9 million.
The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization. Miramar is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and KTL Bamboo International Corp. is the acquired company under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805,
Business Combination
. Consequently, the assets, liabilities and operations that will be reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger will be those of the Company and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of the Company, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger will include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company up to the day prior to the closing of the Merger and the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the combined company from and after the closing date of the Merger. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on individual historical financial statements of the Company and KTL Bamboo International Corp. prepared under GAAP and is adjusted to give effect to the Merger Agreement.
The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma combined financial statements to give effects to events that are (1) directly attributable to the Merger, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined entities. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations eliminate any non-recurring charges directly related to the Merger that the combined entities incur upon completion of the Merger.
Due to different fiscal periods for the Company and KTL Bamboo International Corp., the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations combine the Company’s historical statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016, with KTL Bamboo International Corp. historical statements of operations for the nine months ending April 30, 2016, giving effect to the events that are directly attributable to the Merger, as if the Merger were consummated at the beginning of the year ended December 31, 2015, and that are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company. The difference in fiscal periods between the Company and KTL Bamboo International Corp. does not result to material misstatement in the combined pro forma financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to represent what the combined company’s results of operations would actually have been had the Merger occurred on the dates described above or to project the combined company’s results of operations for any future date or period.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read together with (1) the Company’s audited balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the accompanying notes, and unaudited balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 and unaudited statement of operations and statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the accompanying notes, and (2) KTL Bamboo International Corp.’s unaudited balance sheet as of April 30, 2016 and the related statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended April 30, 2016 and 2015 and the accompanying notes.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have adopted provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:
|
|
•
|
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
|
|
|
•
|
any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
|
|
|
•
|
any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or payment of dividends; or
|
|
|
•
|
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
|
These limitations of liability do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also authorizes us to indemnify our officers, directors and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated bylaws provide that:
|
|
•
|
we may indemnify our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions;
|
|
|
•
|
we may advance expenses to our directors, officers and employees in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions; and
|
|
|
•
|
the rights provided in our amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive.
|
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide for the indemnification provisions described above and elsewhere herein. We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements generally require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct. These indemnification agreements also generally require us to advance any expenses incurred by the directors or officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. In addition, we have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances. These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
The following list sets forth information as to all securities Miramar sold from January 1, 2013 through October 13, 2016, which were not registered under the Securities Act. The following description is historical and has not been adjusted to give effect to the Merger or the share conversion ratio pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
|
|
1.
|
On December 16, 2013 and September 30, 2014, we issued an aggregate of 16,255,133 shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a price per share of $1.60 for aggregate gross consideration of $26,008,213 to 7 accredited investors, which included 3,130,133 shares of Series D Preferred Stock which were issued pursuant to the conversion of $5,008,212 aggregate principal amount and interest of convertible notes.
|
|
|
2.
|
In December 2015, February 2016 and May 2016, we issued convertible promissory notes for an aggregate principal amount of $4,850,000 to 9 accredited investors.
|
|
|
3.
|
In June 7, 2016, June 30, 3016, July 21, 2016 and August 8, 2016, we issued an aggregate of (i) 1,978,567 shares of common stock to accredited investors in the Private Placement, (ii) 6,419,967 shares of our common stock issued to former stockholders of Miramar Technologies, Inc. in connection with the closing of the Merger and (iv) 17,504 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants.
|
|
|

|
|
|
5.
|
Miramar granted stock options and stock awards to employees, directors and consultants under the 2006 Plan covering an aggregate of 1,232,636 shares of common stock, at a weighted average exercise price
|

|

|
We claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the sale and issuance of securities in the transactions described in paragraphs (1)-(3) by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act as transactions not involving any public offering. All of the purchasers of unregistered securities for which we relied on Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D represented that they were accredited investors as defined under the Securities Act. We claimed such exemption on the basis that (a) the purchasers in each case represented that they intended to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to the distribution thereof and that they either received adequate information about the Registrant or had access, through employment or other relationships, to such information and (b) appropriate legends were affixed to the stock certificates issued in such transactions.
We claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the sales and issuances of securities in the transactions described in paragraphs (4)-(5) above under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, in that such sales and issuances did not involve a public offering, or under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, in that they were offered and sold either pursuant to written compensatory plans or pursuant to a written contract relating to compensation, as provided by Rule 701.
Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
(a) Exhibits
. See the Exhibit Index attached to this Registration Statement, which is incorporated by reference herein.
(b) Financial Statement Schedules
. Schedules not listed above have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.
Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
a. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
b. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
c. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§ 230.430A of Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
5. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
6. The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
a. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations);
b. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
c. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
d. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement on Form S-1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized in the City of Santa Clara, State of California, on October 14, 2016.

From and after the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of the Acquisition Subsidiary shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). The “Effective Time” shall be the time at which a certificate of merger in proper form and duly executed, reflecting the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) pursuant to Section 251(c) of General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Act”) is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall have the effects set forth herein and in the applicable provisions of the Delaware Act.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banks in the state of New York are required or authorized by applicable Law to close.
1.3

. At the Closing:
(a)
the Company shall deliver to the Parent and the Acquisition Subsidiary the various certificates, instruments and documents to be delivered by the Company pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2;

the Parent and the Acquisition Subsidiary shall deliver to the Company the various certificates, instruments and documents to be delivered by the Parent and/or Acquisition Subsidiary pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.3;
(c)
the Surviving Corporation shall file the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; and
(d)
the Split-Off Purchaser shall surrender for cancellation to the Parent 3,603,602 (assuming the effect of the dividend declared on May 24, 2016) shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Share Contribution”) in connection with the Split-Off.
1.4
Additional Actions
. If at any time after the Effective Time the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances or any other acts or things are necessary, desirable or proper (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation or Parent, its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of either the Company or the Acquisition Subsidiary or (b) otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation, Parent and its officers and directors or their designees shall be authorized (to the fullest extent allowed under applicable Law) to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company, Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company, Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary, all such other acts and things necessary, desirable or proper to vest, perfect or confirm its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of the Company, Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary, as applicable, and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
1.5
Conversion of Company Securities
. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holder of any of the following securities:
(a)
Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) and of each series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Preferred Stock” and, together with the Company Common Stock, the “Company
Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares of Company Stock held by Unaccredited Investors (each as defined below)), shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (subject to the provisions of Section 1.6) such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the applicable “Conversion Ratio” specified with respect to such class or series on
Schedule 1.5(a)
hereto (the “Applicable Conversion Ratio”). An aggregate of 6,499,268 shares of Parent Common Stock (including Dissenting Shares), subject to adjustment as necessary due to rounding as set forth in Section 1.7, shall be issuable to the stockholders of record of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Stockholders”) in connection with the Merger. The shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock are converted pursuant to this Section shall be referred to herein as the “Merger Shares.”
(b)
The Parent shall deliver certificates for the Merger Shares to each Company Stockholder entitled thereto who shall have presented a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Company Stock to be converted into Merger Shares pursuant to this Section 1.5 (the “Company Stock Certificates”) to the Parent’s transfer agent. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Parent’s transfer agent may, in its sole discretion and as a condition to the issuance of any certificates representing Merger Shares, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.
(c)
Each issued and outstanding share of Company Stock held by Unaccredited Investors (other than Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to $5.00 multiplied by the Applicable Conversation Ratio (the “Cash Merger Consideration”). “Unaccredited Investor” shall mean a Company Stockholder who does not complete and deliver to the Company and Parent prior to the Closing Date an investor questionnaire reasonably acceptable to the Company certifying that such Company Stockholder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”); provided that the Company and Parent may mutually determine any Company Stockholder is an “accredited investor” without having received such an investor questionnaire if they reasonably believe that such Company Stockholder qualifies as an “accredited investor”.
(d)
Each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Acquisition Subsidiary shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
1.6
Dissenting Shares
.
(a)
For purposes of this Agreement, “Dissenting Shares” means shares of Company Stock held as of the Effective Time by a Company Stockholder who has not voted such Company Stock in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the Merger and with respect to which appraisal shall have been duly demanded and perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware Act and not effectively withdrawn or forfeited prior to the Effective Time. Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock unless such Company Stockholder’s right to appraisal shall have ceased in accordance with the Delaware Act. If such Company Stockholder has so forfeited or withdrawn his, her or its right to appraisal of Dissenting Shares, then (i) as of the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Merger Shares issuable in respect of such Company Stock pursuant to Section 1.5(a), and (ii) promptly following the occurrence of such event and, if requested by Parent, the proper surrender of such person’s Company Stock Certificate, the Parent shall deliver to such Company Stockholder a certificate representing the Merger Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.5(a).
(b)
The Company shall give the Parent prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments that relate to such demands received by the Company. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of Company Stock or offer to settle or settle any such demands unless required by the court of the State of Delaware having jurisdiction thereof.
1.7
Fractional Shares
. No certificates or scrip representing fractional Merger Shares shall be issued to Company Stockholders on the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Stock, and such Company Stockholders shall not be entitled to any voting rights, rights to receive any dividends or distributions or other rights as a stockholder of the Parent with respect to any fractional Merger Shares that would have otherwise been issued to such Company Stockholders. In lieu of any fractional Merger Shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the holder cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Purchase Price.
1.8
Options and Warrants
.
(a)
As of the Effective Time, all outstanding Company Options (as defined below) that remain unexercised, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into options to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (“Parent Options”) without further action by the holder thereof. Each Parent Option as so assumed and converted shall constitute an option to acquire such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the unexercised portion of the Company Option multiplied by the Applicable Conversion Ratio for Company Common Stock (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded down to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of each Parent Option as so assumed and converted shall be equal to the exercise price of the Company Option prior to the assumption divided by the Applicable Conversion Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent), and the vesting schedule shall be the same as that of the Company Option that is converted into the Parent Option.
(b)
Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall adopt such resolutions as are necessary to effect the treatment of the Company Options as contemplated by this Section 1.8. At the Effective Time, the Parent shall assume all obligations of the Company under the applicable Company Equity Plan, each outstanding Company Option, and the agreements evidencing the grants thereof and shall administer and honor all such awards in accordance with the terms and conditions of such awards and the applicable Company Equity Plan (subject to the adjustments required by reason of this Agreement or such other adjustments or amendments made by Parent in accordance with such terms and conditions). Following the Closing, the Company shall notify each holder of the conversion of Company Options into Parent Options.
(c)
As of the Effective Time, all outstanding Company Warrants (as defined below) that remain unexercised shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into warrants to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Parent Warrants”) in substitution for the Company Warrants, on substantially the same terms and conditions of the Company Warrants, but representing the right to acquire such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, as the case may be, subject to the unexercised portion of the Company Warrant multiplied by the Applicable Conversion Ratio for the class or series of Company Stock for which such Company Warrant is exercisable (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, and with 0.5 shares rounded upward to the nearest whole number (unless such Company Warrant provides for different treatment of fractions of a share in such circumstance, in which case the terms of such Company Warrant pertaining to the treatment of a fraction of a cent shall control)).
The exercise price per share of each Parent Warrant shall be equal to the exercise price of the Warrant prior to substitution divided by the Applicable Conversion Ratio (rounded to the nearest whole cent, and with $0.005 rounded upward to the nearest whole cent (unless such Company Warrant provides for different treatment of fractions of a cent in such circumstance, in which case the terms of such Company Warrant pertaining to the treatment of a fraction of a cent shall control)).
(d)
The Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of (i) the Parent Options to be issued for the Company Options and (ii) the Parent Warrants to be issued for the Company Warrants, in accordance with this Section 1.8.
1.9
Directors and Officers
. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Subsidiary, the Company or the holders of any shares of capital stock of any of the foregoing, the directors and officers of the Company shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified, as the case may be, and the Surviving Corporation and the Parent shall take any necessary actions (whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time) as shall be necessary or appropriate to effectuate or carry out the purpose of this Section 1.9.
1.10
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Subsidiary, the Company or the holders of any shares of capital stock of any of the foregoing; provided that the Surviving Corporation or Parent may make any necessary filings in the State of Delaware as shall be necessary or appropriate to effectuate or carry out fully the purpose of this Section 1.10:
(a)
the certificate of incorporation of the Acquisition Subsidiary in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed;
(b)
the bylaws of the Acquisition Subsidiary in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed;
(c)
the certificate of incorporation of the Parent in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Parent until duly amended or repealed; and
(d)
the bylaws of the Parent in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Parent until duly amended or repealed.
1.11
No Further Rights
. From and after the Effective Time, no shares of Company Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding, and holders of Company Stock, certificated or uncertificated, shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except as provided herein or by applicable Law, other than the right to receive Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger.
1.12
Closing of Transfer Books
. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Stock shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for Merger Shares in accordance with Section 1.5, subject to the provisions hereof and applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares.
1.13
Exemption from Registration; Rule 144; Rule 701
.
(a)
The Parent and the Company intend that the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof or upon exercise of Parent Options and Parent Warrants granted pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof, will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by reason of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder, Regulation S promulgated by the SEC and/or Rule 701 of the Securities Act and that all recipients of such shares of Parent Common Stock shall either be “accredited investors” or not “U.S. Persons” as such terms are defined in Regulation D and Regulation S, respectively, or, within the meaning of Rule 701 of the Securities Act, were employees or directors of the Company, its parent or its majority-owned subsidiaries or were consultants who were natural persons and who provided bonafide services to the Company, its parent or its majority-owned subsidiaries (provided that such services were not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital raising transaction and did not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities), and, in each case, who received Parent Common Stock or Parent Options pursuant to a compensatory benefit plan, or are family members of employees, directors or consultants who acquired such securities by gift or domestic relations orders. The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof or upon exercise of Parent Options and Parent Warrants granted pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof, will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect thereto is effective under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or (ii) an exemption from such registration exists and either the Parent receives an opinion of counsel to the holder of such securities, which counsel and opinion are satisfactory to the Parent, that such securities may be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in the manner contemplated without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, or the holder complies with the requirements of Regulation S, if applicable; and the certificates representing such shares of Parent Common Stock will bear an appropriate legend and restriction on the books of the Parent’s transfer agent to that effect.
(b)
The Parent is a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company acknowledges that pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a former shell company (such as the Merger Shares) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the Parent (i) is no longer a shell company; and (ii) has filed current “Form 10 information“ (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Parent is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports.
As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the Merger Shares cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements or pursuant to an effective registration statement.
1.14
Certain Tax Matters
. Each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. None of the Parties shall (and each of the Parties shall cause their respective Subsidiaries not to) take any action, or fail to take any action, that could reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The Parties intend to report and, except to the extent otherwise required by a “final determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, shall report, for all tax purposes, the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
The Company represents and warrants to the Parent that the statements contained in this Article II are true and correct, except as set forth in the disclosure schedule provided by the Company to the Parent on the date hereof (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”). The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the numbered and lettered paragraphs contained in this Article II; and to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the context thereof that such disclosure also applies to any other numbered paragraph contained in this Article II, the disclosures in any numbered paragraph of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall qualify such other corresponding numbered paragraph in this Article II.
For purposes of this Article II, the phrase “to the knowledge of the Company” or any phrase of similar import shall be deemed to refer to the actual knowledge of Michael Kleine, Brigid Makes, Steven Kim, or Kathy O’Shaughnessy as well as any other knowledge which such person would have possessed had such person made reasonable inquiry of executive officers, directors and key employees of the Company who report directly to such person and the accountants and attorneys of the Company.
2.1
Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power
. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of its businesses or the ownership or leasing of its properties requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on the businesses in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it. The Company has furnished or made available to the Parent complete and accurate copies of its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The Company is not in default under or in violation of any provision of its certificate of incorporation, as amended to date, or its bylaws, as amended to date, or any or any agreement referred to in Section 2.14 or 2.15, except where such default or violation would not be reasonably expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the assets, business, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (as defined below) taken as a whole; provided, that, in no event shall any effects (whether alone or in combination) resulting from or arising in connection with any of the following be deemed to constitute, nor shall any of the following be taken into account in determining whether there has occurred, a Company Material Adverse Effect: (a) conditions generally affecting the industries in which the Company or the Company Subsidiaries participate or the U.S. or global economy or capital markets as a whole; (b) any failure by the Company to meet internal projections or forecasts or revenue or earnings predictions; (c) the execution, delivery, announcement or performance of the obligations under this Agreement or the announcement, pendency or anticipated consummation of the Merger; (d) any natural disaster or any acts of terrorism, sabotage, military action or war or any escalation or worsening thereof; (e) any changes (after the date of this Agreement) in GAAP, other applicable accounting rules or applicable Law, or changes or developments in political, regulatory or legislative conditions, or (f) the taking of any action required by this Agreement.
2.2
Capitalization

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 105,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and 51,600,000 shares of Company Preferred Stock, of which 2,100,000 shares are designated “Series A Preferred Stock,” 9,000,000 shares are designated “Series B Preferred Stock,” 23,000,000 shares are designated “Series C Preferred Stock”, and 17,500,000 shares are designated “Series D Preferred Stock”.

The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify, to the extent permitted by the DGCL, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time, any employee or agent of the Corporation who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding.
Any repeal or amendment of this Article VIII by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VIII will, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to further limit or eliminate the liability of directors) and shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
If a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting, or (ii) if the chairperson does not act, the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.
2.7
ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the board of directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 213(a) of the DGCL and Section 2.11of these bylaws, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
2.8
CONDUCT OF BUSINESS
The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of business. The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall be designated by the board of directors; in the absence of such designation, the chairperson of the board, if any, the chief executive officer (in the absence of the chairperson) or the president (in the absence of the chairperson of the board and the chief executive officer), or in their absence any other executive officer of the corporation, shall serve as chairperson of the stockholder meeting.
2.9
VOTING
The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these bylaws, subject to Section 217 (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock) and Section 218 (relating to voting trusts and other voting agreements) of the DGCL.
Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.
Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class or series or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or series or classes or series, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
2.10
STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING
To the fullest extent permitted by law, whenever any action is required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders, by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, such action may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote of stockholders, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
2.11
RECORD DATES
In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the board of directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to
vote at such meeting unless the board of directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.
If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;
provided, however,
that the board of directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the provisions of Section 213 of the DGCL and this Section 2.11 at the adjourned meeting.
In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
2.12
PROXIES
Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A written proxy may be in the form of any means of electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the means of electronic transmission was authorized by the person.
2.13
LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE
The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting;
provided, however,
if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date. The stockholder list shall be arranged in alphabetical order and show the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose related to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the corporation’s principal place of business. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available
on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.
2.14
INSPECTORS OF ELECTION
Before any meeting of stockholders, the board of directors shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the chairperson of the meeting may, and upon the request of any stockholder or a stockholder’s proxy shall, appoint a person to fill that vacancy.
Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed and designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspector or inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots, (vi) determine when the polls shall close; (vii) determine the result; and (viii) do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.
In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the inspector or inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. If there are three (3) inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
ARTICLE III — DIRECTORS
3.1
POWERS
The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the board of directors, except as may be otherwise provided in the DGCL or the certificate of incorporation.
3.2
NUMBER OF DIRECTORS
The board of directors shall consist of one or more members, each of whom shall be a natural person. Unless the certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, the number of directors shall be determined from time to time solely by resolution of the board of directors. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office expires.
3.3
ELECTION, QUALIFICATION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS
Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these bylaws, each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws. The certificate of incorporation or these bylaws may prescribe other qualifications for directors. If so provided in the certificate of incorporation, the directors of the corporation shall be divided into three classes.

RESIGNATION AND VACANCIES
Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the corporation;
provided, however
, that if such notice is given by electronic transmission, such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the director. A resignation is effective when the resignation is delivered unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. Acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. A resignation which is conditioned upon the director failing to receive a specified vote for reelection as a director may provide that it is irrevocable. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, when one or more directors resign from the board of directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective.
Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, even if the directors in office represent less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. If the directors are divided into classes, a person so elected by the directors then in office to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.
If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole board of directors (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least 10% of the voting stock at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the DGCL as far as applicable.
3.5
PLACE OF MEETINGS; MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE
The board of directors may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware.

of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

3.8
QUORUM; VOTING
At all meetings of the board of directors, a majority of the total authorized number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the board of directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.
The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
If the certificate of incorporation provides that one or more directors shall have more or less than one vote per director on any matter, every reference in these bylaws to a majority or other proportion of the directors shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of the directors.

ARTICLE VI — STOCK
6.1
STOCK CERTIFICATES; PARTLY PAID SHARES
The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the board of directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation.

In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The corporation shall not have power to issue a certificate in bearer form.
The corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly-paid shares, or upon the books and records of the corporation in the case of uncertificated partly-paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully-paid shares, the corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly-paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/
or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock;
provided, however
, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to this section 6.2 or Sections 156, 202(a) or 218(a) of the DGCL or with respect to this section 6.2 a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

ARTICLE VII — MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE AND WAIVER
7.1
NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS
Notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the corporation’s records. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be
prima facie
evidence of the facts stated therein.
7.2
NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION
Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders pursuant to the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:
(i)
the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent; and
(ii)
such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.
However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.
Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:
(i)
if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;
(ii)
if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;
(iii)
if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and
(iv)
if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.
An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be
prima facie
evidence of the facts stated therein.
An “
electronic transmission
” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.
7.3
NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS
Except as otherwise prohibited under the DGCL, without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under the provisions of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the corporation, within 60 days of having been given written notice by the corporation of its intention to send the single notice, shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.
7.4
NOTICE TO PERSON WITH WHOM COMMUNICATION IS UNLAWFUL
Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.
7.5
WAIVER OF NOTICE
Whenever notice is required to be given to stockholders, directors or other persons under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders or the board of directors, as the case may be, need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
ARTICLE VIII — INDEMNIFICATION

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS
Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “
Proceeding
”) (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director of the corporation or an officer of the corporation, or while a director of the corporation or officer of the corporation is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere
or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.
8.2
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION
Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or while a director or officer of the corporation is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except that no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
8.3
SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE
To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
8.4
INDEMNIFICATION OF OTHERS
Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the corporation shall have power to indemnify its employees and its agents to the extent not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law.

Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems reasonably appropriate and shall be subject to the corporation’s expense guidelines. The right to advancement of expenses shall not apply to any claim for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to these bylaws, but shall apply to any Proceeding referenced in Section 8.6(ii) or 8.6(iii) prior to a determination that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
8.6
LIMITATION ON INDEMNIFICATION
Subject to the requirements in Section 8.3 and the DGCL, the corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any person pursuant to this Article VIII in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):

Registration
.

provided
,

already done so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the staff of the Commission (the “
Staff
”) should limit the number of Registrable Securities that may be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company may remove from the Registration Statement such number of Registrable Securities as specified by the Commission on behalf of all of the holders of Registrable Securities
first
from the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants, on a pro-rata basis among the holders thereof (and on an as-exercised basis with respect to any Placement Agent Warrants not then exercised),
second
, from the Merger Shares, on a pro-rata basis among the holders thereof; and third, from the other Registrable Securities, on a pro rata basis among the holders thereof. In such event, the Company shall give the Purchasers prompt notice of the number of Registrable Securities excluded therefrom. No liquidated damages shall accrue or be payable to any Holder pursuant to Section 3(d) with respect to any Registrable Securities that are excluded by reason of the foregoing sentence.
(b)
Piggyback Registration
. If, after the SEC Effective Date, the Company shall determine to register for sale for cash any of its Common Stock, for its own account or for the account of others (other than the Holders), other than (i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans or securities issued or issuable to employees, consultants (to the extent the securities owned or to be owned by such consultants could be registered on Form S-8 (or its then equivalent form) or any of their Family Members (including a registration on Form S-8 (or its then equivalent form)), (ii) a registration relating solely to a Securities Act Rule 145 transaction or a registration on Form S-4 (or its then equivalent form) in connection with a merger, acquisition, divestiture, reorganization or similar event, or (iii) a transaction relating solely to the sale of debt or convertible debt instruments, then the Company shall promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof (the “
Registration Rights Notice
”) (and in no event shall such notice be given less than twenty (20) calendar days prior to the filing of such registration statement), and shall, subject to Section 3(c), include as a Piggyback Registration all of the Registrable Securities (including any Registrable Securities that are removed from the Registration Statement as a result of a requirement by the Staff) specified in a written request delivered by the Holder thereof within ten (10) calendar days after delivery to the Holder of such written notice from the Company. However, the Company may, without the consent of such Holders, withdraw such registration statement prior to its becoming effective if the Company or such other selling stockholders have elected to abandon the proposal to register the securities proposed to be registered thereby. The right contained in this paragraph may be exercised by each Holder only with respect to two (2) qualifying registrations. The Holders acknowledge and agree that the stockholders of the Company prior to the consummation of the Merger and Offering (the “
Pre-Merger Stockholders
”) shall have “piggyback” registration rights identical to the foregoing for inclusion in any such registration together with the Holders.
(c)
Underwriting
. For purposes of this subsection (c), the term “Holders” shall include the Pre-Merger Stockholders. If a Piggyback Registration is for a registered public offering that is to be made by an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as part of the Registration Rights Notice. In that event, the right of any Holder to Piggyback Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to sell any of their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and any other stockholders of the Company selling their securities through such
underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company or such other selling stockholders, as applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3(c), if the underwriter or the Company determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock or the amount of other securities to be underwritten, the underwriter may exclude some or all Registrable Securities from such registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all Holders (except those Holders who failed to timely elect to include their Registrable Securities through such underwriting or have indicated to the Company their decision not to do so), and indicate to each such Holder the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting, if any. The number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and underwriting shall be allocated among such Holders as follows:
(i) If the Piggyback Registration was initiated by the Company, the number of shares that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company and then, subject to obligations and commitments existing as of the date hereof, to all persons exercising piggyback registration rights (including the Holders) who have requested to sell in the registration on a pro rata basis according to the number of shares requested to be included therein; and
(ii) If the Piggyback Registration was initiated by the exercise of demand registration rights by a stockholder or stockholders of the Company, then the number of shares that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to such selling stockholders who exercised such demand to the extent of their demand registration rights, and then, subject to obligations and commitments existing as of the date hereof, to the Company and then, subject to obligations and commitments existing as of the date hereof, to all persons exercising piggyback registration rights (including the Holders) who have requested to sell in the registration on a pro rata basis according to the number of shares requested to be included therein.
No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s Registrable Securities therefrom by delivering a written notice to the Company and the underwriter. The Registrable Securities so withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration;
provided
,
however
, that, if by the withdrawal of such Registrable Securities, a greater number of Registrable Securities held by other Holders may be included in such registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the underwriters), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included Registrable Securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms and limitations set forth herein in the same proportion used above in determining the underwriter limitation.
(d)
Liquidated Damages
. If a Registration Event occurs, then the Company will make payments to each Holder of Registrable Securities, as liquidated damages to such Holder by reason of the Registration Event, a cash sum calculated at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum of: (i) the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Subscription Agreement,
(ii) upon exercise of Placement Agent Warrants (or in the case of unexercised Placement Agent Warrants, of the exercise price thereof), or (iii) to a Holder of Merger Shares or Registrable Pre-Merger Shares, the product of $5.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or similar events) multiplied by the number of Merger Shares or Registrable Pre-Merger Shares held by such Holder, but in each case of (i)-(iii), only with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities that are affected by such Registration Event and only for the period during which such Registration Event continues to affect such Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum amount of liquidated damages that may be paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall be an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the applicable foregoing amount with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities that are affected by all Registration Events in the aggregate. Each payment of liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall be due and payable in arrears within five (5) days after the end of each full 30-day period of the Registration Default Period until the termination of the Registration Default Period and within five (5) days after such termination. Such payments shall constitute the Holder’s exclusive remedy for any Registration Event. The Registration Default Period shall terminate upon the earlier of such time as the Registrable Securities that are affected by the Registration Event cease to be Registrable Securities or (i) the filing of the Registration Statement in the case of clause (a) of the definition of Registration Event, (ii) the SEC Effective Date in the case of clause (b) of the definition of Registration Event, (iii) the ability of the Holders to effect sales pursuant to the Registration Statement in the case of clause (c) of the definition of Registration Event, and (iv) the listing or inclusion and/or trading of the Common Stock on an Approved Market, as the case may be, in the case of clause (d) of the definition of Registration Event. The amounts payable as liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall be payable in lawful money of the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be liable for the payment of liquidated damages described in this Section 3(d) for any delay in registration of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be includable in the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 solely as a result of a comment received by the Staff requiring a limit on the number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement in order for such Registration Statement to be able to avail itself of Rule 415. In the event of any such delay, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts at the first opportunity that is permitted by the Commission to register for resale the Registrable Securities that have been cut back from being registered pursuant to Rule 415 only with respect to that portion of the Holders’ Registrable Securities that are then Registrable Securities.
(e)
Other Limitations
. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(d) above, if (i) the Commission does not declare the Registration Statement effective on or before the Registration Effectiveness Date, or (ii) the Commission allows the Registration Statement to be declared effective at any time before or after the Registration Effectiveness Date, subject to the withdrawal of certain Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement, and the reason for (i) or (ii) is the Commission’s determination that (x) the offering of any of the Registrable Securities constitutes a primary offering of securities by the Company, (y) Rule 415 may not be relied upon for the registration of the resale of any or all of the Registrable Securities, and/or (z) a Holder of any Registrable Securities must be named as an underwriter, the Holders understand and agree that in the case of (ii) the Company may (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein) reduce, on a pro rata basis, the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of each such Holder, and in the case of (i) or (ii) the Holder shall not be entitled to liquidated damages
with respect to the Registrable Securities not registered for the reason set forth in (i) or so reduced on a pro rata basis as set forth above.

In the event of the offer and sale of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, its directors, officers, partners, and each other person, if any, who controls or is under common control with such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses to which the Holder or any such director, officer, partner or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement prepared and filed by the Company under which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made not misleading, and the Company shall reimburse the Holder, and each such director, officer, partner and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding;
provided
,
however
, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case (i) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (x) an untrue statement in or omission from such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by a Holder to the Company for use in the preparation thereof or (y) the failure of a Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 5 hereof respecting the sale of Registrable Securities; or (ii) if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) who purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof did not receive a copy of an amended preliminary prospectus or the final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities to such person because of the failure of such Holder to so provide such amended preliminary or final prospectus and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact made in such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the amended preliminary or final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented). Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holders, or any such director, officer, partner or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such shares by the Holder.
(b)
As a condition to including Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 8 and to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, legal counsel and accountants and each underwriter, if any, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in any registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is included or omitted in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Holder to the Company for use in the preparation thereof, and such Holder shall reimburse the Company, and such Holders, directors, officers, partners, legal counsel and accountants, persons, underwriters, or control persons, each such director, officer, and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending, or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, or proceeding;
provided
,
however
, that indemnity obligation contained in this Section 8(b) shall in no event exceed the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder as a result of the sale of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer by any Holder of such shares.
(c)
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in this Section 8 (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action;
provided
, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such indemnified party a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist or the indemnified party may have defenses not available to the indemnifying party in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof or the indemnifying party fails to defend such claim in a diligent manner, other than reasonable costs of investigation. Neither an indemnified nor an indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the
indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event any party shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim. Each indemnified party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
(d)
If an indemnifying party does not or is not permitted to assume the defense of an action pursuant to Sections 8(c) or in the case of the expense reimbursement obligation set forth in Sections 8(a) and 8(b), the indemnification required by Sections 8(a) and 8(b) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses, losses, damages, or liabilities are incurred.
(e)
If the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission), or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, then in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
9.

, including the power to direct the voting of such security,
or
(ii)
investment power
, including the power to dispose of, or direct the disposition of, such security. In addition, a person is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of a security of which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days, including, but not limited to, any right to acquire such security: (i) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (ii) through the conversion of any security or (iii) pursuant to the power to revoke, or the automatic termination of, a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.
It is possible that a security may have more than one “beneficial owner,” such as a trust, with two co-trustees sharing voting power, and the settlor or another third party having investment power, in which case each of the three would be the “beneficial owner” of the securities in the trust. The power to vote or direct the voting, or to invest or dispose of, or direct the investment or disposition of, a security may be indirect and arise from legal, economic, contractual or other rights, and the determination of beneficial ownership depends upon who ultimately possesses or shares the power to direct the voting or the disposition of the security.
The final determination of the existence of beneficial ownership depends upon the facts of each case. You may, if you believe the facts warrant it, disclaim beneficial ownership of securities that might otherwise be considered “beneficially owned” by you.

Re:
Registration Statement on Form S-1
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Miramar Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “
Company
”), in connection with the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement (as defined below) of up to 9,177,170 shares (the “
Shares
”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “
Common Stock
”), and 17,504 shares of Common Stock (the “
Warrant Shares
”) issuable upon exercise of warrants held by the selling stockholders (the “
Warrants
”). The Shares and Warrant Shares are included in a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “
Act
”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “
Commission
”) on the date hereof (the “
Registration Statement
”). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related prospectus (the “
Prospectus
”), other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares and Warrant Shares.
As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws.
Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, (a) the issue and sale of the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and (b) when the Warrant Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers, the issue and sale of the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm in the Prospectus under the heading “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary that:
4.1
Capacity and Enforceability
. Buyer has the legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the documents to be executed and delivered by Buyer at the Closing pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement and all such documents constitute valid and binding agreements of Buyer, enforceable in accordance with their terms.
4.2
Compliance
. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Buyer will result in the breach of any term or provision of, or constitute a default under, or violate any agreement, indenture, instrument, order, law or regulation to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound.
4.3
Purchase for Investment
. Buyer is financially able to bear the economic risks of acquiring the Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and has no need for liquidity in his or her investment in the Shares. Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general, and with respect to businesses of a nature similar to the business of Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment), so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and making an informed business decision with regard to, the acquisition of the Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer is acquiring the Shares solely for his or her own account and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution or public offering thereof, within the meaning of any applicable securities laws and regulations, unless such distribution or offering is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “
Securities Act
”), or an exemption from such registration is available. Buyer has (i) received all the information he or she has deemed necessary to make an informed decision with respect to the acquisition of the Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) had an opportunity to make such
investigation as he or she has desired pertaining to Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment) and the acquisition of an interest therein and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and to verify the information which is, and has been, made available to him or her; and (iii) had the opportunity to ask questions of Seller concerning Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment). Buyer acknowledges that Buyer has been a director and officer of Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time and, as such, has actual knowledge of the business, operations and financial affairs of Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment). Buyer has received no public solicitation or advertisement with respect to the offer or sale of the Shares. Buyer realizes that the Shares are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, the resale of the Shares is restricted by federal and state securities laws and, accordingly, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless their resale is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available for their resale. Buyer understands that any resale of the Shares by him or her must be registered under the Securities Act (and any applicable state securities law) or be effected in circumstances that, in the opinion of counsel for Split-Off Subsidiary at the time, create an exemption or otherwise do not require registration under the Securities Act (or applicable state securities laws). Buyer acknowledges and consents that certificates now or hereafter issued for the Shares will bear a legend substantially as follows:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (THE “STATE ACTS”), HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER THE STATE ACTS OR PURSUANT TO EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF THE SECURITIES ACT, THE EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED BY SECTION 4(a)(1) OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND RULE 144 THEREUNDER). AS A PRECONDITION TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OPINING AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION AND/OR SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY THERETO THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES LAWS.
Buyer understands that the Shares are being sold to him or her pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act and that Seller is relying upon the representations made herein as one of the bases for claiming the Section 4(a)(1) exemption.
4.4
Liabilities
. Following the Closing, Seller will have no liability for any debts, liabilities or obligations of Split-Off Subsidiary or its business or activities, or the business or activities of Seller prior to the Closing, and there are no outstanding guaranties, performance or payment bonds, letters of credit or other contingent contractual obligations that have been undertaken
by Seller directly or indirectly in relation to Split-Off Subsidiary or its business, or the business of Seller prior to the Closing, and that may survive the Closing.
4.5
Title to Purchase Price Securities
. Buyer is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Purchase Price Securities. At Closing, Buyer will have good and marketable title to the Purchase Price Securities, which Purchase Price Securities are, and at the Closing will be, free and clear of all options, warrants, pledges, claims, liens and encumbrances, and any restrictions or limitations prohibiting or restricting transfer to Seller, except for restrictions on transfer as contemplated by applicable securities laws.
V.

. Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary, as applicable, represent and warrant to Buyer that:

At Closing, Seller will have good and marketable title to the Shares, which Shares are, and at the Closing will be, free and clear of all options, warrants, pledges, claims, liens and encumbrances, and any restrictions or limitations prohibiting or restricting transfer to Buyer, except for restrictions on transfer as contemplated by Section 4.3 above. The Shares constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Split-Off Subsidiary.

Seller will allow Split-Off Subsidiary and its counsel to participate at Split-Off Subsidiary’s expense in any audit of Seller’s consolidated federal income tax returns to the extent that such audit raises issues that relate to and increase the tax liability of Split-Off Subsidiary. Seller shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to engage professionals and direct the representation of Seller in connection with any such audit and the resolution thereof, without receiving the consent of Buyer or Split-Off Subsidiary or any other party acting on behalf of Buyer or Split-Off Subsidiary, provided that Seller will not settle any such audit in a manner which would materially adversely affect Split-Off Subsidiary after the Closing Date unless such settlement would be reasonable in the case of a person that owned Split-Off Subsidiary both before and after the Closing Date. In the event that after Closing any tax authority informs Buyer or Split-Off Subsidiary of any notice of proposed audit, claim, assessment or other dispute concerning an amount of taxes which pertain to Seller, or to Split-Off Subsidiary during the period prior to Closing, Buyer or Split-Off Subsidiary must promptly notify Seller of the same within 15 calendar days of the date of the notice from the tax authority. In the event Buyers or Split-Off Subsidiary do not notify Seller within such 15 day period, Buyer and Split-Off Subsidiary, jointly and severally, will indemnify Seller for any incremental interest, penalty or other assessments resulting from the delay in giving notice. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency, the provisions of this Section 8.8 shall control over the provisions of Section 9.2 below.
(d)
Cooperation on Tax Matters
. Buyer, Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any party, in connection with the filing of tax returns pursuant to this Section and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Split-Off Subsidiary shall (i) retain all books and records with respect to tax matters pertinent to Split-Off Subsidiary and Seller relating
to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) give Seller reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Seller so requests, Buyer agrees to cause Split-Off Subsidiary to allow Seller to take possession of such books and records.
8.9
ERISA
. Effective as of the Closing Date, Split-Off Subsidiary shall terminate its participation in, and withdraw from, any employee benefit plans sponsored by Seller, and Seller and Buyer shall cooperate fully in such termination and withdrawal. Without limitation, Split-Off Subsidiary shall be solely responsible for (i) all liabilities under those employee benefit plans notwithstanding any status as an employee benefit plan sponsored by Seller, and (ii) all liabilities for the payment of vacation pay, severance benefits, and similar obligations, including, without limitation, amounts which are accrued but unpaid as of the Closing Date with respect thereto. Buyer and Split-Off Subsidiary acknowledge and agree that Split-Off Subsidiary is solely responsible for providing continuation health coverage, as required under the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“
COBRA
”), to each person, if any, participating in an employee benefit plan subject to COBRA with respect to such employee benefit plan as of the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any person whose employment with Split-Off Subsidiary is terminated after the Closing Date.
IX.
INDEMNIFICATION
.
9.1
Indemnification by Buyer and Split-Off Subsidiary
. Buyer and Split-Off Subsidiary, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller and PrivateCo, and their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, representatives and Affiliates (collectively, the “
Seller Indemnified Parties
”) at all times from and after the date of this Agreement from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation), whether or not involving a third party claim and regardless of any negligence of any Seller Indemnified Party (collectively, “
Losses
”), incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party as a result of or arising from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth herein or in certificates delivered in connection herewith, (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement (including any other agreement of Buyer to indemnify set forth in this Agreement) on the part of Buyer under this Agreement, (iii) any Assigned Asset or Assigned Liability or any other debt, liability or obligation of Split-Off Subsidiary or Buyer, (iv) the conduct and operations, (A) prior to Closing, of the business of Seller unrelated to the assets that are the subject of the Merger, (B) whether before or after Closing, of (X) the business of Seller pertaining to the Assigned Assets and Assigned Liabilities or (Y) the business of Split-Off Subsidiary, (v) claims asserted (including claims for payment of taxes), whether before or after Closing, (A) against Split-Off Subsidiary or Buyer or (B) pertaining to the Assigned Assets and Assigned Liabilities or to the business of Seller prior to the Closing, or (vi) any federal or state income tax payable by Seller or PrivateCo and attributable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the business of Seller, or to the Buyer prior to the Closing. For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliate” is a person or entity that directly,
or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, another specified person or entity.
9.2
Third Party Claims
.
(a)
Defense
. If any claim or liability (a “
Third-Party Claim
”) should be asserted against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties (the “
Indemnitees
”) by a third party after the Closing for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 9.1, then the Indemnitee shall notify Buyer (the “
Indemnitor
”) within 20 days after the Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said notification being referred to as a “
Claim Notice
”) and give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to take part in any examination of the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to such Third-Party Claim and to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, in connection therewith, to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating thereto and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the Third-Party Claim. The expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all negotiations, proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any Third-Party Claim shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor agrees to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control the conduct of such defense, and any decision to settle such Third-Party Claim, and shall be responsible for any expenses of the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim so long as the Indemnitor continues such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall be responsible for paying all settlements made or judgments entered with respect to any Third-Party Claim the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnitor. Except as provided in subsection (b) below, both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee must approve any settlement of a Third-Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnitee to timely give the Claim Notice shall not excuse Indemnitor from any indemnification liability except only to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
(b)
Failure to Defend
. If the Indemnitor does not agree to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, or fails to continue such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party Claim, in its sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem appropriate; provided however, that the Indemnitor shall, in the Indemnitee’s sole discretion, (i) promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all settlement payments and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim, or (ii) pay, in advance of any settlement or proceedings and in installments as reasonably agreed to by the parties, such sums and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim and any settlement thereof. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim is made, then the Indemnitor shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party Claim.
9.3
Non-Third-Party Claims
. Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 9.1 which does not involve a claim by a third party against Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyer of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyer such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyer is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
9.4
Survival
. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.4, all representations and warranties made by Buyer, Split-Off Subsidiary and Seller in connection with this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the liability of all Indemnitors under this Article IX shall terminate on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, except with respect to (a) liability for any item as to which, prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, any Indemnitee shall have asserted a Claim in writing, which Claim shall identify its basis with reasonable specificity, in which case the liability for such Claim shall continue until it shall have been finally settled, decided or adjudicated, (b) liability of any party for Losses for which such party has an indemnification obligation, incurred as a result of such party’s breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by such party after the Closing, (c) liability of Buyer for Losses incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party due to breaches of its representations and warranties in Article IV of this Agreement, and (d) liability of Buyer for Losses arising out of Third-Party Claims for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation, which liability shall survive until the statute of limitation applicable to any third party’s right to assert a Third-Party Claim bars assertion of such claim.

|
b.

The Purchaser understands that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Shares that the certificates representing the Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such certificates or other instruments):
|
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION EXISTS AND THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.
In addition, if any Purchaser is an Affiliate of the Company, certificates evidencing the Shares issued to such Purchaser shall bear a customary “Affiliates” legend.
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Shares upon which it is stamped, if (a) such Shares are sold
pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, or (b) such holder delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company, that a disposition of the Shares is being made pursuant to an exemption from such registration and that the Shares, after such transfer, shall no longer be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144.

|
c.
|
Subject to the Company’s right to request an opinion of counsel as set forth in Section 6(b), the legend set forth in Section 6(b) above shall be removable and the Company shall issue or cause to be issued a certificate without such legend or any other legend (except for any “Affiliates” legend as set forth in Section 6(b)) to the holder of the applicable Shares upon which it is stamped or issue or cause to be issued to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at The Depository Trust Company (“
DTC
”) as provided in this Section 6(c), if (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act (provided that, if the Purchaser is selling pursuant to the effective registration statement registering the Shares for resale, the Purchaser agrees to only sell such Shares during such time that such registration statement is effective and not withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by such registration statement), or (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), including without limitation in compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144 if applicable to the Company at the time of such sale or transfer, and the holder and its broker have delivered customary documents reasonably requested by the Company’s transfer agent and/or Company counsel in connection with such sale or transfer. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, Company counsel or otherwise) associated with the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company. Following the date on which the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
is first declared effective by the SEC, or at such other time as a legend is no longer required for certain Shares, the Company will no later than five (5) Trading Days (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the transfer agent (with concurrent notice and delivery of copies to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, and together with such other customary documents as the transfer agent and/or Company counsel shall reasonably request), deliver or cause to be delivered to the transferee of such Purchaser or such Purchaser, as applicable, a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 6. Certificates for Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the transferee’s Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC. “
Trading Day
” means (i) a day on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted and traded on its principal trading market (unless the principal trading market is the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc.), or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on a trading market (other than the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTC QB, OTC QX or OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc.), a day on which the Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not quoted on any Trading Market (other than the OTC QB, OTC QX or OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc.), a day on which the Common Stock is quoted in the over-the-counter market as reported by the OTC QB, OTC QX or OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or any similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices); provided, that in the event that the Common Stock is not listed or quoted as set forth in (i), (ii) and (iii) hereof, then Trading Day shall mean a Business Day.

|
d.
|
If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to a Purchaser a certificate not bearing the legend set forth in Section 6(b) within five (5) Trading Days after receipt by the Company and the Transfer Agent of all documents necessary for the removal of the legend as set forth in Section 6(c) at a time at which such removal is not prohibited under applicable law (the “Deadline Date”) (such certificate, the “Unlegended Certificate”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Purchaser, if on or after the Trading Day immediately following such five (5) Trading Day period, such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the shares of Common Stock to be represented by the Unlegended Certificate that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend as a result of such Purchaser’s full compliance with Section 6(c) (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within five (5) Trading Days after such Purchaser’s request and in such Purchaser’s sole discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Purchaser in an amount equal to such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to such Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (a) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (b) the closing price of the Common Stock on the Deadline Date as reported by the principal trading market on which the Common Stock is primarily listed or quoted for trading. The Purchaser of shares of Common Stock shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company.

Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company (that is, the Shares) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until
one year
after the Company (a) is no longer a shell company; and (b) has filed current “Form 10 information“ (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports.
As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the Shares
cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements or pursuant to an effective registration statement
.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form 8-A with the SEC within one year of the Closing if the Company is not otherwise a mandatory reporting entity pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

In case any such Action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such Action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and either (i) the indemnifying party or parties and the indemnified party or parties mutually agree or (ii) representation of both the indemnifying party or parties and the indemnified party or parties by the same counsel is inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests between them, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
|
election so to assume the defense of such Action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any reasonable legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel in such circumstance), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such Action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such Action, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such Action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such Action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS
The USA PATRIOT Act
The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.
To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.
What is money laundering?
Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.
How big is the problem and why is it important?
The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.
What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?
Under rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with such laws. As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.
ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING INFORMATION FORM
The following is required in accordance with the AML provision of the USA PATRIOT ACT.
(Please fill out and return with requested documentation.)

The minimum subscription is Fifty Thousand United States Dollars ($50,000 USD), Ten Thousand (10,000 shares),
provided, however,
that subscriptions in lesser amounts may be accepted by the Company in its sole discretion. Existing shareholders of the Company will purchase a minimum of Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000) in this Offering.
The closing of the Merger and at least the Minimum Offering is anticipated on or before June 7, 2016 (the “Initial Closing”).

(b) Broker Warrants: Also at each Closing, the Company hereby agrees to deliver to the Placement Agents (or their designees), a warrant to purchase shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock equal to Eight Percent (8%) of the number of Securities sold in the Offering to investors introduced by them, which warrants shall have an initial exercise price of $5.00 per share of the Common Stock (“Brokers Warrants”) with a term of five (5) years from the date of each Closing of the Offering. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, all warrants shall permit unencumbered transfer to the Placement Agents’ employees and affiliates and the warrants may be issued directly to the Placement Agents’ employees and affiliates at the Placement Agents’ request. The Broker Cash Fee and the Broker Warrants are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Brokers Fees”.

APPENDIX I
Indemnification Provisions
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agents, jointly and severally, and their affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (the Placement Agents and each such person being an “
Indemnified Party
”) from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions, including shareholder actions, in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable federal or state law, or otherwise, which are related to or result from the performance by the Placement Agents of the services contemplated by or the engagement of the Placement Agents pursuant to this Agreement and will promptly reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense arising from any threatened or pending claim, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by the Company. The Company will not be liable to any Indemnified Party under the foregoing indemnification and reimbursement provisions (i) for any settlement by an Indemnified Party effected without its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); or (ii) to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or its security holders or creditors related to or arising out of the engagement of the Placement Agents pursuant to, or the performance by the Placement Agents of the services contemplated by, this Agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the such Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any intention or threat to commence an action, suit or proceeding or notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company pursuant hereto, promptly notify the Company in writing of the same. Any failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give the notice referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s right to be indemnified hereunder, except to the extent that such failure or delay causes actual material harm to the Company, or materially prejudices its ability to defend such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party notifies the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company may elect to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and an Indemnified Party may employ counsel to participate in the defense of any such action provided, that the employment of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense, unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) that there are legal defenses available to the Indemnification Party that are not available to the Company, or that there exists a conflict or potential conflict of interest (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) between the Indemnified Party and the Company that makes it impossible or inadvisable for counsel to the Company to conduct the defense of both the Company and the Indemnified Party (in which case the Company will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), or (iii) the Company has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the action, suit or proceeding, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of such counsel will be at the
expense of the Company; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay fees and expenses for more than one firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) representing Indemnified Parties.
If the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is for any reason held unenforceable by an Indemnified Party, the Company agrees to contribute to the losses, claims, damages and liabilities for which such indemnification is held unenforceable (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agents on the other hand, of the Private Placement as contemplated whether or not the Offering is consummated or, (ii) if (but only if) the allocation provided for in clause (i) is for any reason unenforceable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand and the Placement Agents, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company agrees that for the purposes of this paragraph the relative benefits to the Company and the Placement Agents of the Offering as contemplated shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total value received or contemplated to be received by the Company in connection with the Private Placement bear to the fees paid or to be paid to the Placement Agents under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expressly agrees that the Placement Agents shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which fees paid to the Placement Agents hereunder (excluding reimbursable expenses), exceeds the amount of any damages which the Placement Agents as otherwise been required to pay.
The Company agrees that without the Placement Agents’ prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement (whether or not the Placement Agents or any other Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.
In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Company in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, the Company agrees to promptly reimburse the Placement Agents on a monthly basis for all expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of their legal counsel.
If multiple claims are brought with respect to at least one of which indemnification is permitted under applicable law and provided for under this Agreement, the Company agrees that any judgment or arbitration award shall be conclusively deemed to be based on claims as to which indemnification is permitted and provided for, except to the extent the judgment or arbitration award expressly states that it, or any portion thereof, is based solely on a claim as to which indemnification is not available.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK OF
MIRAMAR LABS, INC.
This Warrant is issued to [ ], or its registered assigns (including any successors or assigns, the “
Warrantholder
”), in connection with that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of [ ], by and among Miramar Labs, Inc.
(f/k/a KTL Bamboo International Corp), a Delaware corporation (the “
Company
”), and each of those persons and entities listed as a Purchaser on
Annex A
thereto (the “
Purchase Agreement
”).
1.
EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a)
Number and Exercise Price of Warrant Shares; Expiration Date
. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Warrantholder is entitled to purchase from the Company up to [ ] shares (the “
Warrant Shares
”) of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “
Common Stock
”), at a purchase price of $5.00 per share (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant) (the “
Exercise Price
”), on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on [ ], 2021 (the “
Expiration Date
”) (subject to earlier termination of this Warrant as set forth herein).
(b)
Method of Exercise
. While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with
Section 1(a)
above, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in accordance with
Section 5
herein, by either:
(1)
wire transfer to the Company or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank made payable to the order of the Company, or
(2)
exercising of the right to credit the Exercise Price against the Fair Market Value of the Warrant Shares (as defined below) at the time of exercise (the “
Net Exercise
”) pursuant to
Section 1(c)
.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Warrantholder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Warrantholder has purchased all of the
Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Warrantholder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) trading days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Warrantholder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.
(c)
Net Exercise
. If the Company shall receive written notice from the Warrantholder at the time of exercise of this Warrant that the holder elects to Net Exercise the Warrant, the Company shall deliver to such Warrantholder (without payment by the Warrantholder of any exercise price in cash) that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:
Where
|
|
X =
|
The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Warrantholder.
|
|
|
Y =
|
The number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation).
|
|
|
A =
|
The Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Common Stock on the trading date immediately preceding the date on which Warrantholder elects to exercise this Warrant.
|
|
|
B =
|
The Exercise Price (as adjusted hereunder).
|
The “
Fair Market Value
” of one share of Common Stock shall mean (x) the last reported sale price and, if there are no sales, the last reported bid price, of the Common Stock on the business day prior to the date of exercise on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holder if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting sales prices of the Common Stock) (collectively, “
Bloomberg
”), (y) if the foregoing does not apply, the last sales price of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on the pink sheets or bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, and, if there are no sales, the last reported bid price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg or, (z) if fair market value cannot be calculated as of such date on either of the foregoing bases, the price determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
“
OTC Markets
” shall mean either OTC QX, OTC QB or OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc.
“
Trading Market
” shall mean any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the OTC Markets (or any successors to any of the foregoing).
(d)
Deemed Exercise
. In the event that immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with
Section 1(c)
above) is greater than the then applicable Exercise Price, this Warrant shall be deemed to be automatically exercised on a net exercise issue basis pursuant to
Section 1(c)
above, and the Company shall deliver the applicable number of Warrant Shares to the Warrantholder pursuant to the provisions of
Section 1(c)
above and this
Section 1(d)
.
2.
CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.
(a)
Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares and Exercise Price
. The number and kind of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(3)
Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances
. If the Company shall at any time after the Date of Issuance but prior to the Expiration Date subdivide its shares of capital stock of the same class as the Warrant Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine such shares of capital stock, or issue additional shares of capital stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of such capital stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this
Section 2(a)(1)
shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
(4)
Reclassification, Reorganizations and Consolidation
. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in
Section 2(a)(1)
above) that occurs after the Date of Issuance, then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Warrantholder, so that the Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and/or other securities or property (including, if applicable, cash) receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization or change by a holder of the same number and type of securities as were purchasable as Warrant Shares by the Warrantholder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Warrantholder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities or property deliverable
upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same (and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant shall be exclusively exercisable for such shares of stock and/or other securities or property from and after the consummation of such reclassification or other change in the capital stock of the Company).
(5)
Adjustment of Exercise Price Upon Subsequent Equity Sales
. In the event the Company shall within six months after the original issuance date of this Warrant make any issuance, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any “equity security” as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “
Securities
Act
”), any securities convertible into Additional Shares of Common Stock (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “
Additional Securities
”), for a consideration per share that is less than the Exercise Price (adjusted for stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like occurring after the date hereof) (the foregoing, a “
Dilutive Issuance
”), then the then Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such Dilutive Issuance, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:
CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A + C).
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(1)
“
CP2
” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such issuance of Additional Securities;
(2)
“
CP1
” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Securities;
(3)
“
A
” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Securities (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company’s convertible securities outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or upon conversion or exchange of convertible securities (including the Warrants) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding convertible securities therefor) immediately prior to such issuance);
(4)
“
B
” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Securities had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issuance by CP1); and
(5)
“
C
” shall mean the number of such Additional Securities issued in such transaction.
(b)
Notice to Warrantholder
. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Change of Control or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Warrantholder a notice of such transaction at least ten (10) business days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
(c)
Calculations
. All calculations under this
Section 2
shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest whole share, as the case may be. For purposes of this
Section 2
, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(d)
Treatment of Warrant upon a Change of Control
.
(1)
If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company consummates a Change of Control, then a holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Change of Control if it had been, immediately prior to such Change of Control, a holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “
Alternate Consideration
”). The Company shall not effect any such Change of Control unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant.
(2)
As used in this Warrant, a “
Change of Control
” shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation (other than a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company), (ii) the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposal of all or substantially all of the properties or assets or all or a majority of the outstanding voting shares of capital stock of the Company, (iii) a purchase, tender or exchange offer accepted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of capital stock of the Company, or (iv) a “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “
Exchange Act
”)) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly at least a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company.
3.
NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share.
4.
NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. Until the exercise of this Warrant or any portion of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall not have, nor exercise, any rights as a stockholder of the Company (including without limitation the right to notification of stockholder meetings or the right to receive any notice or other communication concerning the business and affairs of the Company) except as provided in
Section 8
below.
5.
MECHANICS OF EXERCISE.
(a)
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise
. This Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Warrantholder at the address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A
by facsimile or e-mail attachment and paying the Exercise Price (unless the Warrantholder has elected to Net Exercise) then in effect with respect to the number of Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of such shares of record as of the close of business on such date. Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to the holder by crediting the account of the holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“
DWAC
”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the holder in the Notice of Exercise by the end of the day on the date that is three (3) trading days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (unless exercised by means of a cashless exercise pursuant to
Section 1(c)
). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by Net Exercise) and all taxes required to be paid by the holder, if any, prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.
(b)
Rescission Rights
. If the Company fails to cause the transfer agent to transmit to the Warrantholder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 5(a) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Warrantholder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
(c)
Warrantholder’s Exercise Limitations
. A holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, pursuant to
Section 1
or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this section, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the holder that the Company is not representing to the holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Section 5(c)
applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercise of the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this
Section 5(c)
, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of a holder, the Company shall within two (2) trading days confirm in writing to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “
Beneficial Ownership Limitation
” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in strict conformity with the terms of this
Section 5(c)
to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
6.
CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the Exercise Price or number or type of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
shall, at its expense, promptly deliver to the Warrantholder a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the nature of such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.
7.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.
(a)
The Warrantholder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations this Warrant and the Warrant Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Warrantholder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
(b)
Prior and as a condition to the sale or transfer of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall furnish to the Company such certificates, representations, agreements and other information, including an opinion of counsel, as the Company or the Company’s transfer agent reasonably may require to confirm that such sale or transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, unless such Warrant Shares are being sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement.
(c)
The Warrantholder acknowledges that the Company may place a restrictive legend on the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in order to comply with applicable securities laws, in substantially the following form and substance, unless such Warrant Shares are otherwise freely tradable under Rule 144 of the Securities Act:
“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”
8.
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 any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
9.
NO IMPAIRMENT. Except to the extent as may be waived by the holder of this Warrant, the Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through a Change of Control, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, 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 action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder against impairment.
10.
TRADING DAYS. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be other than a day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Trading Market, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day on which the Common Stock is so traded.
11.
TRANSFERS; EXCHANGES.
(a)
Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and
Section 7
hereof, this Warrant may be transferred by the Warrantholder to any Affiliate (as defined below) with respect to any or all of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder (a “
Permitted Transfer
”). For a transfer of this Warrant as an entirety by the Warrantholder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the Notice of Assignment in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B
duly completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of the same denomination to the assignee. For a transfer of this Warrant with respect to a portion of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the Notice of Assignment in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B
duly completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, the Company shall issue a new Warrant to the assignee, in such denomination as shall be requested by the Warrantholder, and shall issue to the Warrantholder a new Warrant covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been transferred. The term “
Affiliate
” as used herein means, with respect to any person, any other person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, and any officers, employees or partners of the Warrantholder.
(b)
Upon any Permitted Transfer, this Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Warrantholder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the principal office of the Company together with a written notice specifying the denominations in which new
warrants are to be issued to the Warrantholder and signed by the Warrantholder hereof. The term “
Warrants
” as used herein includes any warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged.
12.
AUTHORIZED SHARES
. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be quoted or listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

Re:

Dear Mr. Shay:
As discussed, The Foundry, LLC (“LLC”) and Miramar wish to clarify any ambiguity regarding Miramar’s rights in and to certain patents and related technology under the Agreement as a result of Inc.’s transfer of assets to LLC as set forth in the following agreements between Inc. and LLC effective as of December 31, 2008: the Bill of Sale, the Assumption Agreement and the Revised and Restated Assignment Agreement (collectively, the “Asset Documents”). This letter sets forth the agreement and understanding of LLC and Miramar with regard to Inc.’s assignment and license of certain patent rights and related technology to Miramar under the Agreement. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Agreement.
1. LLC hereby confirms and agrees that the Assigned Patents, Assigned Technology and Related Documentation were in fact assigned to Miramar, subject to the terms of the Agreement, prior to Inc.’s transfer of assets to LLC pursuant to the Asset Documents.
2. LLC and Miramar hereby agree that the Agreement was effectively assigned by Inc. to LLC pursuant to the Asset Documents, and accordingly LLC hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of the Agreement, including, without limitation, all assignments, licenses and obligations of Inc. set forth therein, and Miramar agrees to perform its obligations to Inc. set forth therein, as if LLC were the named party thereto.
We appreciate your time and attention to this matter and look forward to continuing our business relationship with Miramar.
Sincerely,

APA
”) and ending on the earlier of 5:00 p.m. on the date five (5) years thereafter, or earlier expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 12 hereof.

Change of Control
” shall mean (i) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any transfer of more than 50% of the voting power of the Company, reorganization, merger or consolidation, but excluding any merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company);or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; unless the Company's stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such acquisition or sale will, immediately after such acquisition or sale (by virtue of securities issued as consideration for the Company's acquisition or sale or otherwise) hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity.
3.
Method of Exercise
. During the Exercise Period, the Holder may exercise in whole the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:
(i)
the surrender of the Warrant, together with a notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and
(ii)
the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Coverage Amount.
4.

Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares
. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a)
Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Shares, by split‑up or otherwise, or combine its Shares, or issue additional shares of its Shares as a dividend, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the
aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 6(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
(b)

In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.
(c)
Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.
7.

. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.
8.
Representations of the Company
. The Company represents that all corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the sale and issuance of this Warrant have been taken.
9.
Representations and Warranties by the Holder
. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a)
This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof are being acquired for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if so requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale.
(b)
The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that they must be held by the Holder indefinitely, and that the Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or is exempted from such registration. The Holder further understands that the Warrant Shares have not been qualified under the California Securities Law of 1968 (the "California Law") by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the qualification requirements of the California Law pursuant to Section 25102(f) thereof, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder's investment intent expressed above.
(c)
The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of this Warrant and the Shares purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and of protecting its interests in connection therewith.
(d)
The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.
(e)
The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
10.
Restrictive Legend
.
The Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SHARES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY.
11.
Rights of Stockholders
. No holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock,
change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
12.
Expiration of Warrant; Notice of Certain Events Terminating This Warrant
.
(a)
This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable upon the earlier to occur of:
(i)
Any Change of Control; or

The initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock.
(b)

13.
Notices
.

Ambrosio, Attorney at Law 4223 Glencoe Avenue, Suite B130, Marina Del Rey, California 90292 and (ii) if to the Company, at the address of its principal corporate offices (attention: President), with a copy to Philip H. Oettinger, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C., 650 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California 94304 or at such other address as a party may designate by ten days advance written notice to the other party pursuant to the provisions above.
14.
“Market Stand-Off” Agreement
. Holder hereby agrees that, during the period of duration specified by the Company and an underwriter of common stock or other securities of the Company, following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act for the Company’s initial public offering, it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, subject to the terms hereof, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company held by it at any time during such period except common stock included in such registration; provided, however, that
(a)
all officers and directors of the Company enter into similar agreements;
(b)
the Company obtains from persons who hold one percent (1%) or greater of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, a lock-up agreement similar to that set forth in this Section 14; and
(c)
such market stand-off time period shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days.
Holder agrees to provide to the other underwriters of any public offering such further agreements as such underwriter may reasonably request in connection with this market stand-off agreement, provided that the terms of such agreements are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 14. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this Section 14 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction.
15.
Registration Rights Agreement
. The registration rights of the Holder (including Holders' successors) with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be the same as granted to the holders of shares issued in the Qualified Equity Financing.

rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Collateral Agent.
(c)
360-Day Year

The outstanding amount of each Term Loan set forth on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower under any Secured Promissory Note or any other Loan Document to make payments of principal of or interest on any Secured Promissory Note when due.

Borrower will, upon request, furnish the Lenders with proof reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower.

Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted by the terms of this Agreement to have priority to Collateral Agent’s Lien. If Borrower shall acquire commercial tort claims (as defined in the Code) having a value in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) individually or Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) in the aggregate, Borrower, shall promptly notify Collateral Agent in a writing signed by Borrower, as the case may be, of the general details thereof (and further details as may be required by Collateral Agent) and grant to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent.
Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with Bank. Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes Bank thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Collateral Agent’s Lien in this Agreement).
If this Agreement is terminated, Collateral Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as the Lenders’ obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Collateral Agent shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.

4.2
Authorization to File Financing Statements
.

On the Effective Date, or, to the extent not certificated as of the Effective Date, within ten (10) days of the certification of any Shares, the certificate or certificates for the Shares will be delivered to Collateral Agent, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Borrower. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, Borrower shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Collateral Agent may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Collateral Agent and cause new (as applicable) certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Collateral Agent or its transferee. Borrower will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Collateral Agent may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any
violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.

Collateral Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Collateral Agent a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies;

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.1 to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all remedies referenced in this Section 9.1 without the written consent of Required Lenders following the occurrence of an Exigent Circumstance. As used in the immediately preceding sentence, “
Exigent Circumstance
” means any event or circumstance that, in the reasonable judgment of Collateral Agent, imminently threatens the ability of Collateral Agent to realize upon all or any material portion of the Collateral, such as, without limitation, fraudulent removal, concealment, or abscondment thereof, destruction or material waste thereof, or failure of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after reasonable demand to maintain or reinstate adequate casualty insurance coverage, or which, in the judgment of Collateral Agent, could reasonably be expected to result in a material diminution in value of the Collateral.
9.2
Power of Attorney
. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Collateral Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate
or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Collateral Agent or a third party as the Code or any applicable law permits. Borrower hereby appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been satisfied in full and Collateral Agent and the Lenders are under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Collateral Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ attorney in fact, and all of Collateral Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3
Protective Payments
. If Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries fail to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Collateral Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Collateral Agent are Lenders’ Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the Default Rate, and secured by the Collateral. Collateral Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Collateral Agent obtaining such insurance or making such payment at the time it is obtained or paid or within a reasonable time thereafter. No such payments by Collateral Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Collateral Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4
Application of Payments and Proceeds
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Collateral Agent from or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between Borrower on the one hand and Collateral Agent and Lenders on the other, Collateral Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Collateral Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Collateral Agent, and (b) the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to the Lenders’ Expenses; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); third, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding; and fourth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower owing to Collateral Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents. Any balance remaining shall be delivered to Borrower or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (y) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category. Any reference in this Agreement to an allocation between or sharing by the Lenders of any right, interest or obligation “ratably,” “proportionally” or in similar terms shall refer to Pro Rata Share unless expressly provided otherwise. Collateral Agent, or if applicable, each Lender, shall promptly remit to the other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable repayment of each Lender’s portion of any Term Loan and the ratable distribution of interest, fees and reimbursements paid or made by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender receiving a scheduled payment shall not be responsible for determining whether the other Lenders also received their scheduled payment on such date; provided, however, if it is later determined that a Lender received more than its ratable share of scheduled payments made on any date or dates, then such Lender shall remit to Collateral Agent or other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable payment of such scheduled payments, as instructed by Collateral Agent. If any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash,
properties or securities, shall be received by a Lender in excess of its ratable share, then the portion of such payment or distribution in excess of such Lender’s ratable share shall be received by such Lender in trust for and shall be promptly paid over to the other Lender for application to the payments of amounts due on the other Lenders’ claims. To the extent any payment for the account of Borrower is required to be returned as a voidable transfer or otherwise, the Lenders shall contribute to one another as is necessary to ensure that such return of payment is on a pro rata basis. If any Lender shall obtain possession of any Collateral, it shall hold such Collateral for itself and as agent and bailee for Collateral Agent and other Lenders for purposes of perfecting Collateral Agent’s security interest therein.
9.5
Liability for Collateral
. So long as Collateral Agent and the Lenders comply with reasonable banking practices and applicable law regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Collateral Agent and the Lenders, Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6
No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative
. Failure by Collateral Agent or any Lender, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Collateral Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. The rights and remedies of Collateral Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Collateral Agent and the Lenders have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, any applicable law, by law, or in equity. The exercise by Collateral Agent or any Lender of one right or remedy is not an election, and Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
9.7
Demand Waiver
. Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Collateral Agent or any Lender on which Borrower or any Subsidiary is liable.
10.

CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE
California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower, Collateral Agent and each Lender each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Collateral Agent or any Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Collateral Agent or any Lender. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER, COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH LENDER EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional
remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

Right of Set Off

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include any (i) Intellectual Property; provided, however, the Collateral shall include all Accounts and all proceeds of Intellectual Property and provided further that if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) would hold that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in such Accounts and such property that are proceeds of Intellectual Property, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the Effective Date, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Accounts and such other property of Borrower that are proceeds of the Intellectual Property; (ii) more than 65% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote the shares of capital stock (the “Shares”) of any Foreign Subsidiary, if Borrower demonstrates to Collateral Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that a pledge of more than sixty five percent (65%) of the Shares of such Subsidiary creates a present and existing adverse tax consequence to Borrower under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code; and (iii) any license or contract, in each case if the granting of a Lien in such license or contract is prohibited by or would constitute a default under the agreement governing such license or contract (but (A) only to the extent such prohibition is enforceable under applicable law and (B) other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-408 or 9-409 (or any other Section) of Division 9 of the Code); provided that upon the termination, lapsing or expiration of any such prohibition, such license or contract, as applicable, shall automatically be subject to the security interest granted in favor of Collateral Agent hereunder and become part of the “Collateral.”.

CORPORATE BORROWING CERTIFICATE
[WSGR to provide draft]
DEBTOR: MIRAMAR LABS, INC.
SECURED PARTY: OXFORD FINANCE LLC,
as Collateral Agent
EXHIBIT A TO UCC FINANCING STATEMENT
Description of Collateral
The Collateral consists of all of Debtor’s right, title and interest in and to the following personal property:
All goods, Accounts (including health-care receivables), Equipment, Inventory, contract rights or rights to payment of money, leases, license agreements, franchise agreements, General Intangibles (except as noted below), commercial tort claims, documents, instruments (including any promissory notes), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), cash, deposit accounts and other Collateral Accounts, all certificates of deposit, fixtures, letters of credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), securities, and all other investment property, supporting obligations, and financial assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever located; and
All Borrower’s Books relating to the foregoing, and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements, products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include any (i) Intellectual Property; provided, however, the Collateral shall include all Accounts and all proceeds of Intellectual Property and provided further that if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) would hold that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in such Accounts and such property that are proceeds of Intellectual Property, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the Effective Date, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Accounts and such other property of Borrower that are proceeds of the Intellectual Property; (ii) more than 65% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote the shares of capital stock (the “Shares”) of any Foreign Subsidiary, if Borrower demonstrates to Collateral Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that a pledge of more than sixty five percent (65%) of the Shares of such Subsidiary creates a present and existing adverse tax consequence to Borrower under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code; and (iii) any license or contract, in each case if the granting of a Lien in such license or contract is prohibited by or would constitute a default under the agreement governing such license or contract (but (A) only to the extent such prohibition is enforceable under applicable law and (B) other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-408 or 9-409 (or any other Section) of Division 9 of the Code); provided that upon the termination, lapsing or expiration of any such prohibition, such license or contract, as applicable, shall automatically be subject to the security interest granted in favor of Collateral Agent hereunder and become part of the “Collateral.”.
Pursuant to the terms of a certain negative pledge arrangement with Collateral Agent and the Lenders, Debtor has agreed not to encumber any of its Intellectual Property.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed in the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of California as in effect from time to time (the “Code”) or, if not defined in the Code, then in the Loan and Security Agreement by and between Debtor, Secured Party and the other Lenders party thereto (as modified, amended and/or restated from time to time).
SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
This Subordination Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of February 24, 2016, by and among each of the parties listed as a creditor on a signature page hereto (each, a “Creditor”), and
OXFORD FINANCE LLC
, a Delaware limited liability company with an office located at 133 North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314, in its capacity as Collateral Agent (as hereinafter defined) for the Lenders (as hereinafter defined).
Recitals
A. Pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement (such agreement as it may be amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), among
OXFORD FINANCE LLC
(“Oxford” in its capacity as Collateral Agent for the Lenders, the “Collateral Agent”), the Lenders from time to time a party thereto, including, without limitation, Oxford Finance LLC (the “Lenders”) and MIRAMAR LABS, INC. (the “
Borrower
”) has requested and/or obtained certain loans or other credit accommodations from the Lenders which are or may be from time to time secured by assets and property of Borrower.
B. Creditor has extended loans or other credit accommodations to Borrower, and/or may extend loans or other credit accommodations to Borrower from time to time.
C. In order to induce Lenders to extend credit to Borrower and, at any time or from time to time, at Lenders’ option, to make such further loans, extensions of credit, or other accommodations to or for the account of Borrower, or to purchase or extend credit upon any instrument or writing in respect of which Borrower may be liable in any capacity, or to grant such renewals or extension of any such loan, extension of credit, purchase, or other accommodation as Lenders may deem advisable, Creditor is willing to subordinate: (i) all of Borrower’s indebtedness to Creditor (including, without limitation, principal, premium (if any), interest, fees, charges, expenses, costs, professional fees and expenses, and reimbursement obligations), whether presently existing or arising in the future (the “Subordinated Debt”) to all of Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations to the Collateral Agent and/or the Lenders; and (ii) all of Creditor’s security interests, if any, to all security interests in the Borrower’s property in favor of the Collateral Agent and/or the Lenders.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1.
Creditor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) Creditor does not have any lien on or security interest in any property of Borrower, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, the “Collateral” as defined in the Loan Agreement, (ii) Borrower is prohibited from granting to the Creditor any lien on, security interest in, or negative pledge with respect to, any property of Borrower, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, the Collateral and (iii) the Creditor shall not take any lien on, security interest in, or negative pledge with respect to, any property of Borrower, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, the Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, Creditor hereby subordinates to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders any security interest or lien that Creditor may have in any property of Borrower, including without limitation, the Collateral. Notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of any security interest of Creditor and the security interest of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, the lien and security interest of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in any property of Borrower, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, the Collateral, shall at all times be senior to the lien and security interest of Creditor.
2. All Subordinated Debt is subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of Borrower to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders now existing or hereafter arising, together with all costs of collecting such obligations (including attorneys’ fees), including, without limitation, all interest accruing after the commencement by or against Borrower of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and all obligations under the Loan Agreement (the “Senior Debt”).
3.
Creditor will not demand or receive from Borrower (and Borrower will not pay to Creditor) all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will Creditor
exercise any remedy with respect to the Subordinated Debt or any property of the Borrower, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, the Collateral, nor will Creditor accelerate the Subordinated Debt, or commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against Borrower, until such time as (i) the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and (ii) the Lenders have no commitment or obligation to lend any further funds to Borrower, and (iii) all financing agreements among the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and Borrower are terminated. Nothing herein
shall prohibit Creditor from converting all or any part of the Subordinated Debt into equity securities of Borrower or from receiving cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in connection with such conversion (“
Fractional Payments
”), provided that if such securities have any call or put features that would obligate Borrower to pay any money other than Fractional Payments (including the payment of any cash dividends or other cash distributions for so long as the Senior Debt remains outstanding), Creditor hereby agrees that Borrower may not declare, pay or make such payment of money to Creditor, and Creditor shall not declare or accept any such dividends, distributions or other payments except as may be permitted in the Loan Agreement
.
4. Creditor shall hold in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by Creditor where required by the Collateral Agent), for application to the Senior Debt, any payment, distribution, security or proceeds received by Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other than in accordance with this Agreement.
5. In the event of Borrower’s insolvency, reorganization or any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors, these provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ claims against Borrower and the estate of Borrower shall be paid in full before any payment is made to Creditor.
6. Until the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full in cash and Lenders’ arrangements to lend any funds to Borrower have been terminated, Creditor irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as Creditor’s attorney-in-fact, and grants to the Collateral Agent a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of Creditor or in the name of the Collateral Agent and/or the Lenders, for the use and benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, without notice to Creditor, to perform at the Collateral Agent’s option the following acts in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving Borrower:
(i)
To file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of Creditor if Creditor does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such proceeding and if the Collateral Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to file such claim or claims;
(ii)
To accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of Creditor and to otherwise vote Creditor’s claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that the Collateral Agent deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder.
7. Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of this Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex I. By the execution of this Agreement, Creditor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to amend any financing statements filed by Creditor against Borrower as follows: “In accordance with a certain Subordination Agreement by and among the Secured Party, the Debtor and Oxford Finance LLC, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, the Secured Party has subordinated any security interest or lien that Secured Party may have in any property of the Debtor to the security interest of Oxford Finance LLC and the Lenders identified therein in all assets of the Debtor, notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of the Secured Party and Oxford Finance LLC and the Lenders.”
8. Neither the Borrower nor the Creditor may amend any material term of any Subordinated Debt without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated Debt or the subordination of any security interest or lien that Creditor may have in any property of Borrower. By way of example, such instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of interest with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii)
accelerate the payment of the principal or interest or any other portion of the Subordinated Debt. The Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall have the sole and exclusive right to restrict or permit, or approve or disapprove, the sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the property or assets of the Borrower, including, without limitation, the Collateral, except in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt. Upon written notice from the Collateral Agent of the Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ agreement to release its lien on all or any portion of the Collateral in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by the Collateral Agent and the Lenders (or by Borrower with consent of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders), Creditor shall be deemed to have also, automatically and simultaneously, released any lien or security interest on such Collateral, and Creditor shall upon written request by the Collateral Agent, immediately take such action as shall be necessary or appropriate to evidence and confirm such release. All proceeds resulting from any such sale, transfer or other disposition shall be applied first to the Senior Debt until payment in full thereof, with the balance, if any, to the Subordinated Debt, or to any other entitled party. If Creditor fails to release any lien or security interest as required hereunder, Creditor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as attorney in fact for Creditor with full power of substitution to release Creditor’s liens and security interests as provided hereunder. Such power of attorney being coupled with an interest shall be irrevocable.
9. All necessary action on the part of the Creditor, its officers, directors, partners, members and shareholders, as applicable, necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of Creditor hereunder has been taken. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Creditor, enforceable against Creditor in accordance with its terms. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement by Creditor will not (i) result in any material violation or default of any term of any of the Creditor’s charter, formation or other organizational documents (such as Articles or Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, etc.) or (ii) violate any material applicable law, rule or regulation.
10. If, at any time after payment in full of the Senior Debt any payments of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by the Collateral Agent or the Lenders for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of Borrower), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and Creditor shall immediately pay over to the Collateral Agent all payments received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such payments would have been prohibited hereunder. At any time and from time to time, without notice to Creditor, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may take such actions with respect to the Senior Debt as the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, in their sole discretion, may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, terminating advances to Borrower, increasing the principal amount, extending the time of payment, increasing applicable interest rates, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the Senior Debt and any collateral securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against Borrower or any other person. No such action or inaction shall impair or otherwise affect the Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights hereunder.
11.
This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of Creditor and shall benefit any successors or assigns of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders. This Agreement shall remain effective until the earlier of: (i) termination in writing by the Collateral Agent or (ii) Collateral Agent and the Lenders receive evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent and the Lenders that the Subordinated Debt is cancelled by Creditors or converted into equity of the Borrower. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Creditor and the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and not for the benefit of Borrower or any other party. Creditor further agree that if Borrower is in the process of refinancing any portion of the Senior Debt with a new lender, and if the Collateral Agent and/or the Lenders makes a request of Creditor, Creditor shall agree to enter into a new subordination agreement with the new lender on substantially the terms and conditions of this Agreement
.
12. Creditor hereby agrees to execute such documents and/or take such further action as the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may at any time or times reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, ratifications and confirmations of this Agreement from time to time hereafter, as and when requested by the Collateral Agent.
13. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
14. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles. Creditor and the Collateral Agent submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, New York in any action, suit, or proceeding of any kind, against it which arises out of or by reason of this Agreement. CREDITOR AND COLLATERAL AGENT WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.
15. This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and commitments. Creditor is not relying on any representations by the Collateral Agent, the Lenders or Borrower in entering into this Agreement and Creditor has kept and will continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and other condition of Borrower. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by Creditor and the Collateral Agent.

”), each of Existing Borrower and immediately after the Merger, the Parent having their offices located at 2790 Walsh Ave., Santa Clara, CA 95051. For purposes hereof, both Parent and Existing Borrower may also be referred to herein, collectively, as the “
Borrowers
” and, individually, as a “
Borrower
”).
RECITALS
A.
Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Existing Borrower have entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of August 7, 2015 (as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, including by that certain Consent and First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 2, 2016, the “Loan Agreement”). The Lenders have extended credit to the Existing Borrower for the purposes permitted in the Loan Agreement.
B.
Miramar has informed Collateral Agent and the Lenders that it desires to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “
Merger Agreement
”), attached hereto as Exhibit A, and any other material agreement related to and executed by the Borrowers in connection with the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “
Merger Documents
”), pursuant to which a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent will merge with and into Miramar Technologies, with Miramar Technologies surviving as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (collectively, the “
Merger
”).
C.
The Existing Borrower has requested that Collateral Agent and the Lenders (i) consent to the Merger, (ii) amend the Loan Agreement to reflect the addition of Parent as a Borrower under the Loan Documents and (iii) make certain other revisions to the Loan Agreement as more fully set forth herein and Collateral Agent and the Lenders have agreed to do so, but only to the extent, in accordance with the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth below.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.
Definitions.
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.
2. Consent.
Subject to the terms of Section 10 below, Collateral Agent and Lenders hereby consent to the Merger and agree that the Merger shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Event of Default under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 of the Loan Agreement, provided that no other Event of Default exists on or immediately prior to the Merger or immediately after giving effect to the Merger.
3. Joinder.
3.1 Additional Borrower
. Parent hereby is added as a “Borrower” under the Loan Agreement,
ab initio
. All references in the Loan Agreement to “Borrower” hereafter shall mean and refer to Parent and Miramar Technologies, individually and collectively, jointly and severally; and Parent hereafter shall have all rights, duties and obligations of “Borrower” thereunder.
3.2 Joinder to Loan Agreement
. Parent hereby joins the Loan Agreement and each of the Loan Documents, and agrees to comply with and be bound by all of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Loan Agreement and Loan Documents, as if it were originally named a “Borrower” therein (but only effective as of the date of this Agreement). Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Parent agrees that it will be jointly and severally liable, together with Borrower, for the payment and performance of all obligations and liabilities of Borrower under the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the Obligations.
3.3 Subrogation and Similar
Rights
. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law and (b) any right to require Collateral Agent or any Lender to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Collateral Agent and any Lender may each exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Loan Documents or any related documents, until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and at such time as each Lender’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Collateral Agent and/or Lenders under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result
of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this section shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
3.4 Grant of Security Interest
. To secure the prompt payment and performance of all of the Obligations, Parent hereby grants to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a continuing lien upon and security interest in all of Parent’s now existing or hereafter arising rights and interest in the Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired, or arising, and wherever located. Parent further covenants and agrees that by its execution hereof it shall provide all such information, complete all such forms, and take all such actions, and enter into all such agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent and each Lender that are reasonably deemed necessary by Collateral Agent or any Lender in order to grant a valid, perfected first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, in the Collateral. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to file financing statements, without notice to any Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions in order to perfect or protect Collateral Agent’s and/or any Lender’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral in contravention of the terms of the Loan Agreement, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Collateral Agent and each Lender under the Code.
4. Amendment to Loan Agreement
.
4.1
All references in the Loan Documents to “Borrower” shall mean and refer to MIRAMAR LABS, INC. and MIRAMAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. MIRAMAR LABS, INC. shall have all rights and obligations of a Borrower thereunder, and agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and hereby makes to Collateral Agent all representations, warranties, grants of security interest and covenants contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date hereof, subject, in each case, to Section 11 hereof.
4.2 Section 12.13 (Borrower Liability).
New Section 12.13 hereby is added to the Agreement as follows:
“
12.13 Borrower Liability
. Either Borrower may, acting singly, request Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Borrower hereby appoints the other as agent for the other for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Credit Extension, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Credit Extensions. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law (other than the defense of payment or performance of the obligations), including, without limitation, the benefit of California Civil Code Section 2815 permitting revocation as to future transactions and the benefit of California Civil
Code Sections 1432, 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, and 2899 and 3433, and (b) any right to require Collateral Agent or any Lender to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Collateral Agent and or any Lender may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non‑judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and at such time as each Lender’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Collateral Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Collateral Agent and the Lenders and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Collateral Agent for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.”

If the delay in delivery is due to any delay caused by Tenant or any of its Agents or otherwise due to the acts or omissions of Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors (including without limitation the failure to timely deliver plans, insurance certificates or other items as required by this Lease), then the delivery date shall be deemed (for the purposes of calculating the Commencement Date) the date the Premises would have been delivered but for such delays by Tenant.

Rent
” or “

” shall mean Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other sums required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease.

All rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, deduction or offset whatsoever (except as specifically provided in Section 11.4 and Section 12.3), and without any prior demand therefor. Rent shall be paid to Landlord at its address set forth in
Section 0
of the Summary, or at such other place as Landlord may designate from time to time. Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses shall be prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term.
3.4
Late Charge, Interest and Quarterly Payments
:
A.
Late Charge
. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any installment of rent, or any other sum of money required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, will
cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, administrative and collection costs, and processing and accounting expenses and other costs and expenses necessary and incidental thereto. If any Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant when due such payment is due, then Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to 5% of such delinquent rent as liquidated damages for Tenant’s failure to make timely payment. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any rent or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay any rent due under this Lease in a timely fashion, including any right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 13.2B.
B.
Interest
. If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of ten (10) days then, in addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent that is not paid when due at the Agreed Interest Rate following the date such amount became due until paid.
C.
Quarterly Payments
. If Tenant during any twelve (12) month period shall be more than five (5) days delinquent in the payment of any rent or other amount payable by Tenant hereunder on three (3) or more occasions, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, elect to require Tenant to pay all Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent quarterly in advance. Such right shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other right or remedy available to Landlord hereunder or at law on account of Tenant’s default hereunder.
3.5
Security Deposit
: Any cash Security Deposit, to the extent a cash Security Deposit is permitted by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, paid by Tenant to Landlord shall remain the sole and separate property of Landlord until actually repaid to Tenant (or at Landlord’s option the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder), said sum not being earned by Tenant until all conditions precedent for its payment to Tenant have been fulfilled. As this sum both in equity and at law is Landlord’s separate property, Landlord shall not be required to (1) keep said deposit separate from his general accounts, or (2) pay interest, or other increment for its use. If Tenant fails to pay rent or other charges when due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including and not limited to Tenant’s obligation to restore or clean the Leased Premises following vacation thereof, Tenant, at Landlord’s election, shall be deemed not to have earned the right to repayment of those portions of the Security Deposit used or applied by Landlord for the payment of any rent or other charges in default, or for the payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. Landlord may retain such portion of the Security Deposit as it reasonably deems necessary to restore or clean the Leased Premises following vacation by Tenant. The Security Deposit is not to be characterized as rent until and unless so applied in respect of a default by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in force, which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Leased Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate
Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent or invitee of Tenant. If Landlord elects to use or apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit as provided in Section 3.5, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor pay to Landlord in cash, an amount equal to that portion of the Security Deposit used or applied by Landlord, and Tenant’s failure to so do shall be a material breach of this Lease. The ten (10) day notice specified in the preceding sentence shall insofar as not prohibited by law, constitute full satisfaction of notice of default provisions required by law or ordinance.
3.6
Letter of Credit
. Concurrent with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer (or that Landlord reasonably estimates it may suffer) as a result of any breach, default or failure to perform by Tenant under this Lease, an irrevocable and unconditional negotiable standby Letter of Credit (“
Letter of Credit
”), in the form as is acceptable to Landlord, payable at an office in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, running in favor of Landlord and issued by a solvent, nationally recognized bank with a long term rating of BBB or higher, under the supervision of the Superintendent of Banks of the State of California, or a national banking association (an “
Acceptable Issuing Bank
”), in the amount provided in Section M of the Summary to this Lease (the “
Letter of Credit Amount
”). Tenant shall pay all expenses, points, or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the Letter of Credit and any replacement Letter of Credit. The bank issuing the Letter of Credit (the “
Bank
”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be withheld by Landlord if the proposed Bank is an Acceptable Issuing Bank. If an Acceptable Issuing Bank is declared insolvent or taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any governmental agency for any reason or does not meet the standards to be approved an Acceptable Issuing Bank, Tenant shall deliver a replacement Letter of Credit from another Bank approved by Landlord that meets the standards for an Acceptable Issuing Bank within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord that the Bank does not meet the standard for an Acceptable Issuing Bank, or (ii) the date the Bank is declared insolvent or taken over for any reason by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. In addition, the Letter of Credit shall expressly provide for the following:
shall be “callable” at sight, irrevocable, and unconditional;
shall be maintained in effect, whether through renewal or extension, for the period from the date of this Lease and continuing until the date (the “
Letter of Credit Expiration Date
”) that is one sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term (as the Term may be extended). The Letter of Credit may be for one year period, provided the Letter of Credit is automatically extended for not less than a one year period unless the issuing Bank provides written notice to Landlord not less than sixty (60) days prior to the then expiration date of the Letter of Credit that the issuing Bank will not renew or extend the Letter of Credit, in which case Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit not less than thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled expiration date of the then existing Letter of Credit held by Landlord without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord;
shall be fully assignable by Landlord, its successors, and assignees of its interest in the Leased Premises;
shall permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings; and
shall be otherwise subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (UCP600), or the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 (1998).
A.
Transfers
. The Letter of Credit shall also provide that Landlord, its successors, and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person, or entity, provided such transferee is the assignee of the Landlord’s rights and interests in and to this Lease and expressly assumes the same and Landlord’s obligations under the Lease, or to any lender providing financing to Landlord. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part, to the transferee and Landlord shall then be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions of this Section shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of the Letter of Credit to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents, and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s transfer and processing fees in connection with any such transfer.
B.
Restoration
. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord on the Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the Letter of Credit Amount, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after the drawdown by Landlord and notice thereof to Tenant, take such actions as are required to restore the Letter of Credit Amount, which may include providing a replacement Letter of Credit for the full Letter of Credit Amount, provided such additional Letter(s) of Credit or replacement Letter of Credit comply with the applicable requirements of Section 3.6 and all subsections thereof of this Lease. If Tenant fails to comply with this requirement, such failure shall be deemed a rent default under this Lease, provided that if Landlord is prevented from delivering a notice of default to Tenant or otherwise declaring a default by Tenant for any reason, including, without limitation, because Tenant has filed a voluntary petition, or an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant, under the Bankruptcy Code, then no such notice or declaration of default and cure period shall be required for a rent default under this Lease.
C.
Renewals
. Tenant covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part of it and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment, or attempted encumbrance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Letter of Credit expires earlier than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, Landlord will accept a renewal of the letter of credit (such renewal letter of credit to be in effect and delivered to Landlord, as applicable, not later than forty-five (45) days before the expiration of the Letter of Credit), which shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable as required in Section 3.6 above through the Letter of Credit Expiration Date on the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to
Landlord in its sole discretion. However, if the Letter of Credit is not timely renewed, or if Tenant fails to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 3.6 above, Landlord shall have the right to present the Letter of Credit to the Bank to draw on the Letter of Credit, and the proceeds of the Letter of Credit may be applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. Any unused proceeds shall be deemed held by Landlord as security in accordance with applicable laws, but need not be segregated from Landlord’s other assets. Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term of this Lease the amount of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit received by Landlord and not applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Leas; or not used to pay for any losses and damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that if before the Letter of Credit Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant’s creditors, under the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused Letter of Credit proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.
D.
Draws
. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance on the ability of Landlord to draw on the Letter of Credit on the occurrence of any breach, default or failure to perform on the part of Tenant under this Lease. If Tenant shall breach or fail to perform any provision of this Lease or otherwise be in default under this Lease, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant, draw on the Letter of Credit, in part or in whole, to cure any breach or default of Tenant and to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant’s breach or default and to which Landlord is entitled under this Lease, including any damages that accrue upon termination of the Lease under the Lease and/or Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code or any similar provision. The use, application, or retention of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit, or any portion of it, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, following a draw properly made by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing on such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (1) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank; (2) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract; (3) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit; and (4) if Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim or rights to the Letter of Credit by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.
In addition, Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable:
(1)
Landlord states that such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, provided that if Landlord is prevented from delivering a notice of default to Tenant for any reason, including, without limitation, because Tenant has filed a voluntary petition, or an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant, under the Bankruptcy Code (hereinafter defined), then no such notice and cure period shall be required;
(2)
Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any similar state law (collectively, the “
Bankruptcy Code
”);
(3)
Tenant has assigned any or all of its assets to creditors in accordance with any federal or state laws;
(4)
an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, which petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date it is filed; provided, however, that if Tenant is still operating its business in the Leased Premises and this Lease has not been terminated, Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit only to the extent such amount is due Landlord under the terms of this Lease or the guaranty of this Lease; or
(5)
the Bank has notified Landlord that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed or extended through the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; or
(6)
the Bank does not meet the standard for an Acceptable Issuing Bank and Tenant has not delivered a replacement Letter of Credit form an Acceptable Issuing Bank within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord that the Bank does not meet the standard for an Acceptable Issuing Bank, or (ii) the date the Bank is declared insolvent or taken over for any reason by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.
E.
Replacement
. Tenant may, from time to time, replace any existing Letter of Credit with a new Letter of Credit if the new Letter of Credit:
(1)
Becomes effective at least 30 days before expiration of the Letter of Credit that it replaces;
(2)
Is in the applicable Letter of Credit Amount;
(3)
Is issued by an Acceptable Issuing Bank or a Bank otherwise acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion; and
(4)
Otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 8.2 and all subsections thereof.
F.
Not a Security Deposit
. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal of it or any proceeds applied by Landlord as provided in this Lease be (1) deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (2) subject to the terms of Section 1950.7, or (3) intended to serve as a “security deposit” within the meaning of Section 1950.7. Landlord and Tenant (1) agree that Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules, and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“
Security Deposit Laws
”) shall have no applicability or relevancy to the Letter of Credit, and (2) waive any and all rights, duties, and obligations either party may now or in the future have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.
3.7
Electronic Payment
. Landlord shall have the right, on not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant (the “
Electronic Payment Notice
”), to require Tenant to make subsequent payments of Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent due pursuant to the terms of this Lease by means of a federal funds wire transfer or such other method of electronic funds transfer as may be required by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion (the “
Electronic Payment
”). The Electronic Payment Notice shall set forth the proper bank ABA number, account number and designation of the account to which such Electronic Payment shall be made. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of any additional information that will be required to establish and maintain Electronic Payment from Tenant’s bank or financial institution.

The total amount of Base Monthly Rent Landlord elects to defer shall be referred to as the “
Deferred Rent
.” As directed in writing by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, the Deferred Rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord by having the Deferred Rent amortized on a straight line basis, without interest, over the remaining initial Term and added to the Base Monthly Rent then remaining over the initial Term commencing on the first day of a calendar month immediately following the end of the period for which the deferral of Deferred Rent applies. If this Lease is terminated whether due to a default by Tenant or as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to all other Rent and charges due under this Lease the unpaid amount of Deferred Rent that otherwise would be included in the monthly Base Rent for the portion of the Term cancelled or terminated. Tenant shall execute any amendment to the Lease to reflect the amount and schedule for payment of the Deferred Rent within ten days after request by Landlord.

Alternatively, Landlord may from time to time require that Tenant pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses in advance in estimated monthly installments, in accordance with the following: (i) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Operating Expenses it anticipates will be paid or incurred for the Landlord’s fiscal year in question; (ii) during such Landlord’s fiscal year Tenant shall pay such share of the estimated Operating Expenses in advance in monthly installments as required by Landlord due with the installments of Base Monthly Rent; and (iii) within 150 days after the end of each Landlord’s fiscal year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement in reasonable detail of the actual Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord during the just ended Landlord’s fiscal year (the “
Annual Reconciliation Statement
”) and thereupon there shall be an adjustment between Landlord and Tenant, with payment to Landlord or credit by Landlord against the next installment of Base Monthly Rent, as the case may require, within 10 days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of said statement, so that Landlord shall receive the entire amount of Tenant’s Share of all Operating Expenses for such Landlord’s fiscal year and no more. The failure of Landlord to delivery such annual reconciliation statement within said 180-day period under clause (iii) above shall not constitute a waiver or otherwise release a party from its obligation to make a payment or credit when such reconciliation is actually done.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if the Project consists of multiple buildings, certain Operating Expenses may pertain to a particular building(s) and other Operating Expenses to the Project as a whole. Landlord reserves the right in its sole discretion to allocate any such costs applicable to any particular building within the Project to the building in question whose tenants shall be responsible for payment of their respective proportionate shares in the pertinent building and other such costs applicable to the Project to each building in the Project (including the Building) with the tenants in each such building being responsible for paying their respective proportionate shares in such building of such costs to the extent required under the applicable leases. Landlord shall in good faith attempt to allocate such costs to the buildings (including the Building) in a reasonable, non-discriminatory manner and such allocation shall be binding on Tenant.

8.3
Real Property Taxes Defined
: The term “
Real Property Taxes
” shall mean all taxes, assessments, levies, and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest required to pay any existing or future general or special assessments for public improvements, services or benefits, and any increases resulting from reassessments resulting from a change in ownership, new construction, or any other cause), now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or special district having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed against, or with respect to the value, occupancy or use of all or any portion of the Project (as now constructed or as may at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or Landlord’s interest therein, the fixtures, equipment and other property of Landlord, real or personal, that are an integral part of and located on the Project, the gross receipts, income, or rentals from the Project, or the use of parking areas, public utilities, or energy within the Project, or Landlord’s business of leasing the Project. The parties acknowledged that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“
Proposition 13
”) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of Proposition 13, Real Property Taxes shall also include any governmental or private assessments or the Project’s contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies. If at any time during the Lease Term the method of taxation or assessment of the Project prevailing as of the Effective Date shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any Real Property Tax described above there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (whether by reason of a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other cause) an alternate or additional tax or charge (i) on the value, use or occupancy of the Project or Landlord’s interest therein, or (ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals from the Project, on Landlord’s business of leasing the Project, or computed in any manner with respect to the operation of the Project, then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be included within the meaning of the term Real Property Taxes for purposes of this Lease. If any Real Property Tax is based upon property or rents unrelated to the Project, then only that part of such Real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the Project shall be included within the meaning of the term Real Property Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Real Property Taxes shall not
include estate, inheritance, transfer, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state net income tax imposed on Landlord’s income from all sources.
If the parcel containing the Building contains other buildings on such parcel. In such event and if the Building and the buildings and improvements are currently included in the same tax bill and contain different size and types of improvements, Landlord shall have the right to allocate the Taxes to each such building in accordance with Landlord’s reasonable accounting and management principles.
8.4
Adjustments
. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Tenant’s Share as to certain expenses included in Operating Expenses may be calculated differently to yield a higher percentage share for Tenant as to those expenses if Landlord permits other tenants or occupants in the Project to incur such expenses directly rather than have Landlord incur the expense in common for the Project. In such case, Tenant’s Share of the applicable expense shall be calculated as having as its denominator the sum of the gross leasable areas of all premises in the Project less the gross leasable areas of tenants who have incurred such expense directly. Nothing herein shall imply that Landlord will permit Tenant or any other tenant of the Project to incur Common Area Costs. Any such permission shall be in the sole discretion of Landlord. If the Building or Project is not one hundred percent (100%) occupied during all or a portion of any calendar year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the components of Operating Expenses for such year to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the Building and Project been one hundred percent (100%) occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such year.

B.
Requirements
. Where applicable and required by Landlord, each policy of insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Section 9.1: (i) shall name Landlord and such other parties in interest as Landlord reasonably designates as additional insured; (ii) shall be primary insurance which provides that the insurer shall be liable for the full amount of the loss up to and including the total amount of liability set forth in the declarations without the right of contribution from any other insurance coverage of Landlord; (iii) shall be in a form satisfactory to Landlord; (iv) shall be carried with companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (v) shall provide that such policy shall not be subject to cancellation, lapse or change except after at least 30 days prior written notice to Landlord so long as such provision of 30 days notice is reasonably obtainable, but in any event not less than 10 days prior written notice; (vi) shall not have a “deductible” in excess of such amount as is approved by Landlord; (vii) shall contain a cross liability endorsement; and (viii) shall contain a “severability” clause.

C.
Evidence
.

Landlord may, at any time, and from time to time, inspect and/or copy any and all insurance policies required to be procured by Tenant pursuant to this Section 9.1.

9.2
Landlord’s Insurance
: Landlord shall have the following obligations and options regarding insurance:
A.
Property Damage
. Landlord shall maintain a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance in so-called “all risk” form insuring Landlord (and such others as
Landlord may designate) against loss of rents for a period of not less than 12 months and from physical damage to the Project with coverage of not less than the full replacement cost thereof. Landlord may so insure the Project separately, or may insure the Project with other property owned by Landlord which Landlord elects to insure together under the same policy or policies. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole and absolute discretion, to obtain insurance for such additional perils as Landlord deems appropriate, including, without limitation, coverage for damage by earthquake and/or flood. All such coverage shall contain “deductibles” which Landlord deems appropriate, which in the case of earthquake and flood insurance, may be up to 10% of the replacement value of the property insured or such higher amount as is then commercially reasonable. Landlord shall not be required to cause such insurance to cover any Trade Fixtures or Tenant’s Alterations of Tenant.
B.
Other
. Landlord may maintain a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance insuring Landlord (and such others as are designated by Landlord) against liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death and damage to property occurring or resulting from an occurrence in, on or about the Project, with combined single limit coverage in such amount as Landlord from time to time determines is reasonably necessary for its protection.
C.
Tenant’s Obligation to Reimburse
: If Landlord’s insurance rates for the Building are increased at any time during the Lease Term as a result of the nature of Tenant’s use of the Premises, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the full amount of such increase immediately upon receipt of a bill from Landlord therefor.
9.3
Release and Waiver of Subrogation
: The parties hereto release each other, and their respective agents and employees, from any liability for injury to any person or damage to property that is caused by or results from any risk insured against under any valid and collectible insurance policy carried by either of the parties which contains a waiver of subrogation by the insurer and is in force at the time of such injury or damage; subject to the following limitations: (i) the foregoing provision shall not apply to the commercial general liability insurance described by subparagraphs Section 9.1A and Section 9.2B; (ii) such release shall apply to liability resulting from any risk insured against or covered by self-insurance maintained or provided by Tenant to satisfy the requirements of Section 9.1 to the extent permitted by this Lease; and (iii) Tenant shall not be released from any such liability to the extent any damages resulting from such injury or damage are not covered by the recovery obtained by Landlord from such insurance, but only if the insurance in question permits such partial release in connection with obtaining a waiver of subrogation from the insurer. This release shall be in effect only so long as the applicable insurance policy contains a clause to the effect that this release shall not affect the right of the insured to recover under such policy. Each party shall use reasonable efforts to cause each insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurer waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against the other party and its agents and employees in connection with any injury or damage covered by such policy. However, if any insurance policy cannot be obtained with such a waiver of subrogation, or if such waiver of subrogation is only available at additional cost and the party for whose benefit the waiver is to be obtained does not pay such additional cost, then the party obtaining such insurance shall
notify the other party of that fact and thereupon shall be relieved of the obligation to obtain such waiver of subrogation rights from the insurer with respect to the particular insurance involved.
ARTICLE 10 LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
10.1
Limitation on Landlord’s Liability
: Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, nor shall Tenant be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any abatement of rent (except as expressly provided otherwise herein), for any injury to Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, damage to the property of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, or loss to Tenant’s business resulting from any cause, including without limitation any: (i) failure, interruption or installation of any HVAC or other utility system or service; (ii) failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any utilities or services when such failure or delay is caused by fire or other peril, the elements, labor disturbances of any character, or any other accidents or other conditions beyond the reasonable control of Landlord; (iii) limitation, curtailment, rationing or restriction on the use of water or electricity, gas or any other form of energy or any services or utility serving the Project; (iv) vandalism or forcible entry by unauthorized persons or the criminal act of any person; or (v) penetration of water into or onto any portion of the Premises or the Building through roof leaks or otherwise.

10.2
Limitation on Tenant’s Recourse

11.1
Landlord’s Duty to Restore
: If the Premises are damaged by any peril after the Effective Date, Landlord shall restore the Premises unless the Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Section 11.2 or by Tenant pursuant to Section 11.3. All insurance proceeds available from the fire and property damage insurance carried by Landlord pursuant to Section 9.2 shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to either Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, then all insurance proceeds available from insurance carried by Tenant which covers loss to property that is Landlord’s property or would become Landlord’s property on termination of this Lease shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord. If this Lease is not so terminated, then upon receipt of the insurance proceeds (if the loss is covered by insurance) and the issuance of all necessary governmental permits, Landlord shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the restoration of the Premises, to the extent then allowed by Law, to substantially the same condition in which the Premises were immediately prior to such damage. Landlord’s obligation to restore shall be limited to the Premises and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as they existed as of the Commencement Date, excluding any Tenant’s Alterations, Trade Fixtures and/or personal property constructed or installed by Tenant in the Premises. Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully repair all Tenant’s Alterations and Trade Fixtures installed by Tenant and existing at the time of such damage or destruction, and all insurance proceeds received by Tenant from the insurance carried by it pursuant to Section 9.1A(2) shall be used for such purpose.
11.2

. The Building or Project is damaged by an Insured Peril to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore exceeds 33% of the then actual replacement cost thereof;
B.
Damage From Uninsured Peril
. The Building or Project is damaged by an Uninsured Peril to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore exceeds 2% of the then actual replacement cost thereof; provided, however, that Landlord may not terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2B if one or more tenants of the Project agree in writing to pay the amount by which the cost to restore the damage exceeds such amount and subsequently deposit such amount with Landlord within 30 days after Landlord has notified Tenant of its election to terminate this Lease;
C.
Damage Near End of Term
. The Premises are damaged by any peril within 12 months of the last day of the Lease Term to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore equals or exceeds an amount equal to six times the Base Monthly Rent then due; provided, however, that Landlord may not terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2C if Tenant, at the time of such damage, has a then valid express written option to extend the Lease Term and Tenant exercises such option to extend the Lease Term within 15 days following the date of such damage; or
D.
Restrictions on Restoration
. The Building or Project is damaged by any peril and, because of the Laws then in force, (i) cannot be restored at reasonable cost to substantially the same condition in which it was prior to such damage, or (ii) cannot be used for the same use being made thereof before such damage if restored as required by this Article.
E.
Defined Terms
. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) the term “
Insured Peril
” shall mean a peril actually insured against for which the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord are sufficient (except for any “deductible” amount specified by such insurance) to restore the Project under then existing building codes to the condition existing immediately prior to the damage; and (ii) the term “
Uninsured Peril
” shall mean any peril which is not an Insured Peril. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the “deductible” for earthquake or flood insurance exceeds 2% of the replacement cost of the improvements insured, such peril shall be deemed an “Uninsured Peril”.
11.3
Tenant’s Right to Terminate
: If the Premises are damaged by any peril and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 11.2, then as soon as reasonably practicable, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the written opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant as to when the restoration work required of Landlord may be completed. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which right may be exercised only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice of election to terminate within 7 days after Tenant receives from Landlord the estimate of the time needed to complete such restoration.
A.
Major Damage

B.
Damage Near End of Term
. The Premises are damaged by any peril within 12 months of the last day of the Lease Term and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the Premises cannot be substantially completed within 90 days after the date of such damage and such damage renders unusable more than 30% of the Premises.
11.4
Abatement of Rent
: In the event of damage to the Premises which does not result in the termination of this Lease, the Base Monthly Rent and the Additional Rent shall be temporarily abated during the period of restoration in proportion to the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired by such damage. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of Tenant’s business or property or for any inconvenience or annoyance caused by such damage or restoration. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted.
ARTICLE 12 CONDEMNATION
12.1
Landlord’s Termination Right
: Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if, as a result of a taking by means of the exercise of the power of eminent domain (including a
voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to a condemnor under threat of condemnation), (i) all or any part of the Premises is so taken, (ii) more than 10% of the Building Leasable Area is so taken, or (iii) more than 50% of the Common Area is so taken. Any such right to terminate by Landlord must be exercised within a reasonable period of time, to be effective as of the date possession is taken by the condemnor.
12.2
Tenant’s Termination Right
: Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if, as a result of any taking by means of the exercise of the power of eminent domain (including any voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor under threat of condemnation), (i) 10% or more of the Premises is so taken and that part of the Premises that remains cannot be restored within a reasonable period of time and thereby made reasonably suitable for the continued operation of the Tenant’s business, or (ii) there is a taking affecting the Common Area and, as a result of such taking, Landlord cannot provide parking spaces within reasonable walking distance of the Premises equal in number to at least 80% of the number of spaces allocated to Tenant by Section 2.1, whether by rearrangement of the remaining parking areas in the Common Area (including construction of multi-deck parking structures or re-striping for compact cars where permitted by Law) or by alternative parking facilities on other land. Tenant must exercise such right within a reasonable period of time, to be effective on the date that possession of that portion of the Premises or Common Area that is condemned is taken by the condemnor.
12.3
Restoration and Abatement of Rent
: If any part of the Premises or the Common Area is taken by condemnation and this Lease is not terminated, then Landlord shall restore the remaining portion of the Premises and Common Area and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as they existed as of the Commencement Date, excluding any Tenant’s Alterations, Trade Fixtures and/or personal property constructed or installed by Tenant. Thereafter, except in the case of a temporary taking, as of the date possession is taken the Base Monthly Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the floor area of that part of the Premises so taken (less any addition thereto by reason of any reconstruction) bears to the original floor area of the Premises.
12.4
Temporary Taking
: If any portion of the Premises is temporarily taken for one year or less, this Lease shall remain in effect. If any portion of the Premises is temporarily taken by condemnation for a period which exceeds one year or which extends beyond the natural expiration of the Lease Term, and such taking materially and adversely affects Tenant’s ability to use the Premises for the Permitted Use, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, effective on the date possession is taken by the condemnor.

: Any award made as a result of any condemnation of the Premises or the Common Area shall belong to and be paid to Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any such award; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive any condemnation award that is made directly to Tenant for the following so long as the award made to Landlord is not thereby reduced: (i) for the taking of personal property or Trade Fixtures belonging to Tenant, (ii) for the interruption of Tenant’s business or its moving costs, (iii) for loss of Tenant’s goodwill; or (iv) for any temporary taking where this Lease is not terminated as a result of such taking.

13.2
Landlord’s Remedies
: If an Event of Tenant’s Default occurs, Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by any Law or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively or in the alternative:
A.
Continue
. Landlord may keep this Lease in effect and enforce by an action at law or in equity all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including (i) the right to recover the rent and other sums as they become due by appropriate legal action, (ii) the right to make payments required of Tenant or perform Tenant’s obligations and be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with interest at the Agreed Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant, and (iii) the remedies of injunctive relief and specific performance to compel Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease, in the event of a breach of an obligation by Tenant which results in a condition which poses an imminent danger to safety of persons or damage to property, an unsightly condition visible from the exterior of the Building, or a threat to insurance coverage, then if Tenant does not cure such breach within 3 days after delivery to it of written notice from Landlord identifying the breach, Landlord may cure the breach of Tenant and be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with interest at the Agreed Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.

B.
Enter and Relet
. Landlord may enter the Premises and release them to third parties for Tenant’s account for any period, whether shorter or longer than the remaining Lease Term. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in releasing the Premises, including brokers’ commissions, expenses of altering and preparing the Premises required by the releasing. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent and other sums due under this Lease on the date the rent is due, less the rent and other sums Landlord received from any releasing. No act by Landlord allowed by this subparagraph shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding any releasing without termination, Landlord may later elect to terminate this Lease because of the default by Tenant.
C.
Terminate
. Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth for termination in such notice. Any termination under this Section 13.2C shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay sums then due Landlord or from any claim against Tenant for damages or rent previously accrued or then accruing. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions by Landlord, in the absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, constitute a termination of this
Lease: (i) appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect Landlord’s interest hereunder; (ii) consent to any subletting of the Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or otherwise; or (iii) any other action by Landlord or Landlord’s Agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including without limitation any action taken to maintain and preserve the Premises or any action taken to relet the Premises or any portions thereof to the extent such actions do not affect a termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises.
D.
No Deemed Termination
. In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Premises, this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of its election to so terminate this Lease. No act by or on behalf of Landlord intended to mitigate the adverse effect of such breach, including those described by Section 13.C, shall constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of termination.
E.
Damages
. In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord’s election, to damages in an amount as set forth in California Civil Code Section 1951.2 as in effect on the Effective Date. For purposes of computing damages pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.2, (i) an interest rate equal to the Agreed Interest Rate shall be used where permitted, and (ii) the term “rent” includes Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent. Such damages shall include:
(1)
The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%); and
(2)
Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including the following: (i) expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Premises; (ii) expenses for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Premises for the purpose of reletting, including installation of leasehold improvements (whether such installation be funded by a reduction of rent, direct payment or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise); (iii) broker’s fees, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Premises; (iv) costs of carrying the Premises, such as taxes, insurance premiums, utilities and security precautions; (v) expenses in retaking possession of the Premises; and (vi) attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in retaking possession of the Premises and in releasing the Premises or otherwise incurred as a result of Tenant’s default.
F.
Non Exclusive Remedies
. Nothing in this Section 13.2 shall limit Landlord’s right to indemnification from Tenant as provided in Section 7.2 and Section 10.3. Any notice given by Landlord in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 13.1A or Section 13.1B above shall also satisfy the notice requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer proceedings.
13.3
Waiver
: One party’s consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the first party’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the first party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by the other party. The receipt by Landlord of any rent or payment with or without knowledge of the breach of any other provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any such breach unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the other party under this Lease shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other provisions herein contained.
13.4
Limitation On Exercise of Rights
: At any time that an Event of Tenant’s Default has occurred and remains uncured, (i) it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to deny or withhold any consent or approval requested of it by Tenant which Landlord would otherwise be obligated to give, and (ii) Tenant may not exercise any option to extend, right to terminate this Lease, or other right granted to it by this Lease which would otherwise be available to it.
13.5
Waiver by Tenant of Certain Remedies
: Tenant waives the provisions of Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code and any similar or successor law regarding Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the rent due under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture under the laws of the State of California, or under any other present or future law, including the provisions of Sections 1174 and 1179 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
ARTICLE 14 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1
Transfer By Tenant
: The following provisions shall apply to any assignment, subletting or other transfer by Tenant or any subtenant or assignee or other successor in interest of the original Tenant (collectively referred to in this Section 14.1 as “Tenant”):
A.
Transfer
. Tenant shall not do any of the following (collectively referred to herein as a “
Transfer
”), whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld: (i) sublet all or any part of the Premises or allow it to be sublet, occupied or used by any other person (the agents and servants of Tenant excepted) whether by sublease, license, concession, franchise, agency, or management agreement; (ii) assign its interest in this Lease; (iii) mortgage or encumber the Lease (or otherwise use the Lease as a security device) in any manner; or (iv) materially amend or modify an assignment, sublease or other transfer that has been previously approved by Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the evaluation, processing, and/or documentation of any requested Transfer, whether or not Landlord’s consent is granted. Landlord’s reasonable costs shall include the cost of any review or investigation performed by Landlord or consultant acting on Landlord’s behalf of (i) Hazardous Materials used, stored, released, or disposed of by the potential Subtenant or Assignee, and/or (ii) violations of Hazardous Materials Law by the Tenant or the proposed Subtenant or Assignee. Any Transfer so approved by Landlord shall not be effective until Tenant has delivered to
Landlord an executed counterpart of the document evidencing the Transfer which (i) is in a form reasonably approved by Landlord, (ii) contains the same terms and conditions as stated in Tenant’s notice given to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1B, and (iii) in the case of an assignment of the Lease, contains the agreement of the proposed transferee to assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease arising after the effective date of such Transfer and to remain jointly and severally liable therefor with Tenant. Any attempted Transfer without Landlord’s consent shall constitute an Event of Tenant’s Default and shall be voidable at Landlord’s option. Landlord’s consent to any one Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section 14.1 as to any subsequent Transfer or a consent to any subsequent Transfer. No Transfer, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay the rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Transfer.
B.
Procedure
. At least 30 days before a proposed Transfer is to become effective, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the proposed terms of such Transfer and request Landlord’s approval, which notice shall include the following: (i) the name and legal composition of the proposed transferee; (ii) a current financial statement of the transferee, financial statements of the transferee covering the preceding three years if the same exist, and (if available) an audited financial statement of the transferee for a period ending not more than one year prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer, all of which statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; (iii) the nature of the proposed transferee’s business to be carried on in the Premises; (iv) all consideration to be given on account of the Transfer; (v) a current financial statement of Tenant; and (vi) an accurately filled out response to Landlord’s standard hazardous materials questionnaire. Tenant shall provide to Landlord such other information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord within seven days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice from Tenant. Landlord shall respond in writing to Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to a Transfer within the later of (i) 30 days of receipt of such request together with the required accompanying documentation, or (ii) 15 days after Landlord’s receipt of all information which Landlord reasonably requests within seven days after it receives Tenant’s first notice regarding the Transfer in question. If Landlord fails to respond in writing within said period, then Tenant shall provide a second written notice to Landlord requesting such consent and if Landlord fails to respond within 7 days after receipt of such second notice, then Landlord will be deemed to have consented to such Transfer. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any modification to the proposed terms of such Transfer, which shall also be subject Landlord’s consent in accordance with the same process for obtaining Landlord’s initial consent to such Transfer.
C.
Recapture
. In the event that Tenant seeks to make any Transfer for the entire Premises, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease or (i) on the condition that the proposed transferee immediately enter into a direct lease of the Premises with Landlord (or, in the case of a partial sublease, a lease for the portion proposed to be so sublet) on the same terms and conditions contained in Tenant’s notice, or (ii) so that Landlord is thereafter free to lease the Premises (or, in the case of a partial sublease, the portion proposed to be so sublet) to whomever it pleases on whatever terms are acceptable to Landlord. In the event Landlord elects to so terminate
this Lease, then (i) if such termination is conditioned upon the execution of a lease between Landlord and the proposed transferee, Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be terminated until such transferee executes a new lease with Landlord, enters into possession and commences the payment of rent, and (ii) if Landlord elects simply to terminate this Lease (or, in the case of a partial sublease, terminate this Lease as to the portion to be so sublet), the Lease shall so terminate in its entirety (or as to the space to be so sublet) fifteen (15) days after Landlord has notified Tenant in writing of such election. Upon such termination, Tenant shall be released from any further obligation under this Lease if it is terminated in its entirety, or shall be released from any further obligation under the Lease with respect to the space proposed to be sublet in the case of a proposed partial sublease. In the case of a partial termination of the Lease, the Base Monthly Rent and Tenant’s Share shall be reduced to an amount which bears the same relationship to the original amount thereof as the area of that part of the Premises which remains subject to the Lease bears to the original area of the Premises. Landlord and Tenant shall execute a cancellation and release with respect to the Lease to effect such termination.
D.
Other Requirements
. If Landlord consents to a Transfer proposed by Tenant, Tenant may enter into such Transfer, and if Tenant does so, the following shall apply:
(1)
Tenant shall not be released of its liability for the performance of all of its obligations under the Lease.
(2)
If Tenant assigns its interest in this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord 50% of all Subrent (as defined in Section 14.1D(5)) received by Tenant. In the case of assignment, the amount of Subrent owed to Landlord shall be paid to Landlord on the same basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such Subrent is paid to Tenant by the assignee.
(3)
If Tenant sublets any part of the Premises, then with respect to the space so subleased, Tenant shall pay to Landlord 50% of the positive difference, if any, between (i) all Subrent paid by the subtenant to Tenant, less (ii) the sum of all Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent allocable to the space sublet. Such amount shall be paid to Landlord on the same basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such Subrent is paid to Tenant by its subtenant.
(4)
Tenant’s obligations under this Section 14.1D shall survive any Transfer, and Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder shall be an Event of Tenant’s Default. At the time Tenant makes any payment to Landlord required by this Section 14.1D, Tenant shall deliver an itemized statement of the method by which the amount to which Landlord is entitled was calculated, certified by Tenant as true and correct. Landlord shall have the right at reasonable intervals to inspect Tenant’s books and records relating to the payments due hereunder. Upon request therefor, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all bills, invoices or other documents upon which its calculations are based. Landlord may condition its approval of any Transfer upon obtaining a certification from both Tenant and the proposed transferee of all Subrent and other amounts that are to be paid to Tenant in connection with such Transfer.
(5)
As used in this Section 14.1D, the term “
Subrent
” shall mean any consideration of any kind received, or to be received, by Tenant as a result of the Transfer, if such
sums are related to Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises, including payments from or on behalf of the transferee (in excess of the book value thereof) for Tenant’s assets, fixtures, leasehold improvements, inventory, accounts, goodwill, equipment, furniture, and general intangibles.
E.
Deemed Transfers
. Except for a Permitted Transfer, the term “Transfer” shall include any of the following, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether effected by death, operation of law or otherwise:
(1)
If Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company or other entity other than a corporation described in Section 14.1E(2) below:
(a)
A change in ownership effected voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners or members or fifty percent (50%) or more in the aggregate of the partnership or membership interests, whether in a single transaction or series of transactions over a period of time; or
(b)
The sale, mortgage, hypothecation, pledge or other encumbrance at any time of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) in the aggregate of the value of Tenant’s assets; or
(c)
The dissolution of the partnership, limited liability company or other entity without its immediate reconstitution.
(2)
If Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., one whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter):
(a)
The sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting shares of Tenant or more in the aggregate, whether in a single transaction or series of transactions over a period of time;
(b)
The sale, mortgage, hypothecation, pledge or other encumbrance at any time of more than an aggregate of twenty-five percent (25%) in the aggregate of the value of Tenant’s assets; or
(c)
The dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant.
F.
Permitted Transfers
. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1, Landlord’s consent is not required for any Transfer by Tenant to an Affiliate, as defined below, as long as the following conditions are met and Tenant otherwise complies with the other provisions of Section 14.1 (each such Transfer shall be referred to as a “
Permitted Transfer
”):
(a)
At least ten (10) business days before the Transfer, Landlord receives written notice of the Transfer (as well as any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding the Transfer or Transferee);
(b)
The Transfer is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease;
(c)
If the Transfer is an assignment, Transferee assumes in writing all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease relating to the Leased Premises; and
(d)
Transferee has a tangible net worth, as evidenced by financial statements delivered to Landlord and certified by an independent certified public accountant in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that are consistently applied (“
Net Worth
”), at least equal to Tenant’s Net Worth either immediately before the Transfer or as of the date of this Lease, whichever is greater.
For purposes hereof, the term “
Affiliate
” means any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant. “
Control
” means the direct or indirect ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of an entity or possession of the right to vote more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interest in the ordinary direction of the entity’s affairs. Landlord shall not be entitled to terminate the Lease pursuant to Section 14.1C due to a Permitted Transfer or to receive any part of any Subrent resulting from a Permitted Transfer that would otherwise be due it pursuant to Section 14.1D.
A Permitted Transfer shall also include the sale or issuance of shares in Tenant in connection with its public offering on a national stock exchange or a regularly traded over-the-counter market and quoted on NASDAQ or shares that may be traded publicly subsequent thereto in the regular course of trading and not as a result of any merger, take over or sale of assets.
G.

14.2
Transfer By Landlord
: Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in this Lease and the Project at any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and, in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor) from the date of such transfer, shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer. After the date of any such transfer, the term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Premises.
ARTICLE 15 GENERAL PROVISIONS
15.1
Landlord’s Right to Enter
: Landlord and its agents may enter the Premises at any reasonable time after giving at least 24 hours’ prior notice to Tenant (and immediately in the case of emergency) for the purpose of: (i) inspecting the same; (ii) posting notices of non-responsibility; (iii) supplying any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant; (iv) showing the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants; (v) making necessary alterations, additions or repairs;
(vi) performing Tenant’s obligations when Tenant has failed to do so after written notice from Landlord; (vii) placing upon the Premises ordinary “for lease” signs or “for sale” signs; and (viii) responding to an emergency.

Any entry into the Premises obtained by Landlord in accordance with this Section 15.1 shall not be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises.
15.2
Surrender of the Premises
: Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as existed at the Commencement Date, except for (i) reasonable wear and tear, (ii) damage caused by any peril or condemnation, and (iii) contamination by Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is not responsible pursuant to Section 7.2A or Section 7.2B. In this regard, normal wear and tear shall be construed to mean wear and tear caused to the Premises by the natural aging process which occurs in spite of prudent application of the best standards for maintenance, repair and janitorial practices, and does not include items of neglected or deferred maintenance. In any event, Tenant shall cause the following to be done prior to the expiration or the sooner termination of this Lease: (i) all interior walls shall be painted or cleaned so that they appear freshly painted; (ii) all tiled floors shall be cleaned and waxed; (iii) all carpets shall be cleaned and shampooed; (iv) all broken, marred, stained or nonconforming acoustical ceiling tiles shall be replaced; (v) all interior and exterior windows shall be washed; (vi) the HVAC system shall be serviced by a reputable and licensed service firm and left in good operating condition and repair as so certified by such firm; and (vii) the plumbing and electrical systems and lighting shall be placed in good order and repair (including replacement of any burned out, discolored or broken light bulbs, ballasts, or lenses).

If the Premises are not so surrendered at the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall continue to be responsible for the payment of Rent until the Premises are so surrendered in accordance with said provisions and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in returning the Premises to the required condition, plus interest on all costs incurred at the Agreed Interest Rate. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant or losses to Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease to succeeding tenants and losses and damages suffered by Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease any portion of the Premises to any such succeeding tenant or prospective tenant, together with, in each case, actual attorneys’ fees and costs.
15.3
Holding Over
: This Lease shall terminate without further notice at the expiration of the Lease Tenn. Any holding over by Tenant after expiration of the Lease Term shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the Lease or give Tenant any rights in or to the Premises except as expressly provided in this Lease. Any holding over after such expiration with the written consent of Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable except that Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to 150% of the greater of (a) the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last full calendar month of
the Lease Term, or (b) the then prevailing fair market rent. In any event, no provision of this Section 15.3 shall be deemed to waive Landlord’s right of reentry or any other right under this Lease or at law. Additionally, in the event that upon termination of the Lease, Tenant has not fulfilled its obligation with respect to repairs and cleanup of the Premises or any other Tenant obligations as set forth in this Lease, then Landlord shall have the right to perform any such obligations as it deems necessary at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and any time required by Landlord to complete such obligations shall be considered a period of holding over and the terms of this section shall apply.
15.4
Subordination
: Tenant covenants and agrees that this Lease is subject and subordinate to any Security Instrument and to any advances made on the security thereof and to any and all increases, renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. This clause shall be self operative and no further instrument of subordination need be required by any owner or holder of any such ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement. In confirmation of such subordination, at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute promptly any appropriate certificate or instrument that Landlord may request and Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute any such certificate or instrument for and on behalf of Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender shall have the right to elect, by written notice given to Tenant, to have this Lease be superior to its Security Instrument. In the event of the enforcement by any holder of the Security Instrument (“
Successor Landlord
”) of the remedies provided for by law or by such Security Instrument, at Successor Landlord’s election, Tenant will attorn to and recognize as its landlord, and become the tenant of, such Successor Landlord, without any change in the terms or other provisions of this Lease or without the execution of any further instrument by Tenant; provided, however, that such Successor Landlord or successor in interest shall not be bound by (a) any payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent for more than one (1) month in advance, (b) any amendment or modification of this Lease, or any waiver of the terms of this Lease, made without the written consent of such Successor Landlord, (c) any offset right that Tenant may have against any former Landlord relating to any event or occurrence before the date of attornment, including any claim for damages of any kind whatsoever as the result of any breach by a former Landlord that occurred before the date of attornment; (d) any obligation to pay Tenant any sum(s) that any former Landlord owed to Tenant unless such sums, if any, shall have actually been delivered to Successor Landlord by way of an assumption of escrow accounts or otherwise, (e) any obligation to pay Tenant any security deposited with a former Landlord, unless such security was actually delivered to such Successor Landlord; (f) any obligation to commence or complete any initial construction of improvements in the Premises or any expansion or rehabilitation of existing improvements thereon; or (g) any obligation arising from representations and warranties related to a former Landlord. Upon request by such Successor Landlord, whether before or after the enforcement of its remedies, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming and evidencing the attornment herein set forth, and Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing, acknowledging and delivering any such instruments and certificates.

SNDA
”), pursuant to which such beneficiary agrees to recognize this Lease in the event of default under such Security Instrument or sale under such Security Instrument, so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder. Landlord’s sole obligation under this section is to request such SNDA and follow the process of such lender for issuance of a SNDA. The failure of such lender to issue its SNDA shall not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease.

Tenant further agrees that if Landlord fails to cure such default within a reasonable period of time after Landlord’s receipt of such notice of default from Tenant, then Tenant will provide written notice of such failure to Lienholder and Lienholder will have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure the default. Lienholder shall have no obligation to cure (and shall have no liability or obligation for not curing) any breach or default by Landlord, except to the extent that Lienholder agrees or undertakes otherwise in writing. If the default cannot be cured within the additional thirty (30) day period, then Lienholder will have such additional time as may be necessary to effect the cure if, within the thirty (30) day period, Lienholder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the cure (including, without limitation, commencing foreclosure proceedings if necessary to effect the cure).

Exhibit
”) is made in connection with and is a part of that certain Lease by and between DWF III Walsh Bowers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Landlord, and Miramar Labs, Inc., a Delaware, as Tenant, (the “
Lease
”).
1.
Definitions and Conflict
. All capitalized terms referred to in this Exhibit shall have the same meaning as provided in the Lease, except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Exhibit. In case of any conflict between any term or provision of the Lease and any exhibits attached thereto and this Exhibit, this Exhibit shall control.
2.
Option to Extend and Rent During the Extended Period
: Tenant shall have one option to extend the original Term of the Lease for a period of five (5) years (the period shall be referred to as the “
Extension Period
”) by giving written notice of exercise of such option (“
Extension Option Notice
”) at least two hundred seventy (270) days, but not more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days, prior to the expiration of the Term. The Extension Period shall commence, if at all, immediately following the expiration of the original Term of the Lease. If Tenant is in default under any term or provision of the Lease on the date of giving an Extension Option Notice, or if Tenant is in default under any term or provision of the Lease on the date of the applicable Extension Period is to commence, the Extension Period at the option of Landlord shall not commence and the Lease shall expire at the end of original Term. The Extension Period shall be upon all of the terms and provisions of the Lease, except that (i) the Base Monthly Rent during such Extension Period shall be one hundred percent (100%) of then Fair Market Rent, but not less than the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last month prior to the commencement of the Extension Period, (ii) any work, allowance, free rent, or concession provided by Landlord in connection with the commencement of the initial Term shall not apply; and (iii) Tenant shall not have any additional option to extend.
2.1
Fair Market Rent
. The term “
Fair Market Rent
” for purposes of determining Base Monthly Rent during the Extension Period shall mean the greater of (i) the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last month prior to the commencement of the Extension Period, or (ii) the base monthly rent generally applicable to similar triple net leases at comparable class buildings of comparable size, age, quality of the Premises in the Santa Clara area projected as of the first day of the Extension Period by giving due consideration for the quality of the Building and improvements therein (including the quality of the then existing improvements in the Premises), the quality of the tenants’ credit, for a term comparable to the Extension Period at the time the commencement of the Extension Period is scheduled to commence, and for comparable space that is not subleased or subject to another party’s expansion rights or not leased to a tenant that holds an ownership interest in the landlord, without any deduction for amortization or cost of tenant improvements, allowances, capital improvements or commissions whether or not incurred by Landlord, and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease that will be applicable during the Extension Period.
2.2
Procedure to Determine Fair Market Rent
. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent (“
Landlord’s FMR
”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Extension Option Notice. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice of Landlord’s FMR, Tenant shall have the right either to: (i) accept Landlord’s FMR,
or (ii) elect to have the Fair Market Rent determined in accordance with the appraisal procedure set forth below. The failure of Tenant to provide written notice of its election under the preceding sentence shall be deemed an acceptance of Landlord’s FMR. The election (or deemed election ) by Tenant under this section shall be non-revocable and binding on the parties.
2.3
Appraisers
. If Tenant has elected to have the Fair Market Rent determined by an appraisal, then within ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s written notice of such an election, each party, by giving written notice to the other party, shall appoint a broker to render a written opinion of the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period. Each broker must be a real estate broker licensed in the State where the Building is located for at least five years and with at least five years’ experience in the appraisal of rental rates of leases or in the leasing of space in commercial buildings in the area in which the Building is located and otherwise unaffiliated with either Landlord or Tenant. The two brokers shall render their written opinion of the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second broker. If the Fair Market Rent of each broker is within three percent (3%) of each other, then the average of the two appraisals of Fair Market Rent shall be the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period. If one party does not appoint its broker as provided above, then the one appointed shall determine the Fair Market Rent. The Fair Market Rent so determined under this section shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.
2.4
Third Appraiser
. If the Fair Market Rent determined by the brokers is more than three percent (3%) apart, then the two brokers shall pick a third broker within ten (10) days after the two brokers have rendered their opinions of Fair Market Rent as provided above. If the two brokers are unable to agree on the third broker within said ten (10) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree on the third broker within ten (10) days thereafter. If the parties do not agree on a third qualified broker within ten (10) days, then at the request of either Landlord or Tenant, such third broker shall be promptly appointed by the then Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California for the County where the Building is located. The third broker shall be a person who has not previously acted in such capacity for either party and must meet the qualifications stated above.
2.5
Impartial Appraisal
. Within thirty (30) days after its appointment, the third broker (the “
Third Party
”), shall render its written opinion by selecting the Fair Market Rent made Landlord’s or Tenant’s broker to be the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period. The Third Party may not offer any different opinion or recommendation of Fair Market Rent. The Fair Market Rent determined in accordance with the foregoing procedure shall be binding on the parties.
2.6
Appraisal Costs
. Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and one-half (1/2) the cost of the third appraiser, unless the Fair Market Rent of the Third Opinion is within five percent (5%) Landlord’s FMR, in which case Tenant shall bear the entire cost of the third appraiser.
2.7
Acknowledgment of Rent
. After the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period has been established in accordance with the foregoing procedure, Landlord and Tenant shall
promptly execute an amendment to the Lease to reflect the minimum monthly rent for the Extension Period.
2.8
Personal Option
. The foregoing option to extend is personal to the original Tenant signing the Lease (and its affiliates), but may not be assigned or transferred to or exercised by any other assignee, sublessee or transferee under a Transfer.

Administration of the Plan

Powers of the Administrator

(iv)
to determine the Fair Market Value;

(xii)
to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Options granted pursuant to the Plan.

6.
Limitations
.
(a)
Incentive Stock Option Limit
. Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.
(b)
At-Will Employment
. Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company's right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.
7.
Term of Plan
. Subject to stockholder approval in accordance with Section 19, the Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. Unless sooner terminated under Section 15, it shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the later of (i) the effective date of the Plan, or (ii) the earlier of the most recent Board or stockholder approval of an increase in the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.
8.
Term of Option
. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.
9.
Option Exercise Price and Consideration
.
(a)
Exercise Price
. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator, but shall be subject to the following:
(i)
In the case of an Incentive Stock Option
(A)
granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(B)
granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(ii)
In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option
(A)
granted to a Service Provider who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(B)
granted to any other Service Provider, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price other than as required above in accordance with and pursuant to a transaction described in Section 424 of the Code.
(b)
Forms of Consideration
. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant). Such consideration may consist of, without limitation, (1) cash, (2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares, provided Shares acquired directly from the Company (x) have been owned by the Optionee, and not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (5) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, or (6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.
10.
Exercise of Option
.
(a)
Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder
. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. Except in the case of Options granted to officers, Directors and Consultants, Options shall become exercisable at a rate of no less than 20% per year over five (5) years from the date the Options are granted.
An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.
Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.
(b)
Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider
. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, such Optionee may exercise his or her Option within thirty (30) days of termination, or such longer period of time as specified in the Option Agreement, to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, if on the date of termination the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(c)
Disability of Optionee
. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within six (6) months of termination, or such longer period of time as specified in the Option Agreement, to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, if on the date of termination the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(d)
Death of Optionee
. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within six (6) months following Optionee’s death, or such longer period of time as specified in the Option Agreement, to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement) by the Optionee’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Optionee’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Optionee, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(e)
Leaves of Absence
.
(i)
Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder to officers and Directors shall be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence.
(ii)
A Service Provider shall not cease to be an Employee in the case of (A) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (B) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, any Subsidiary, or any successor.
(iii)
For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then three (3) months following the 91st day of such leave, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Optionee shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
11.
Stock Purchase Rights
.
(a)
Rights to Purchase
. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or electronically of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which such person must accept such offer. The terms of the offer shall comply in all respects with Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator.
(b)
Repurchase Option
. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable within 90 days of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or disability). Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, the purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall be the original
price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as the Administrator may determine. Except with respect to Shares purchased by officers, Directors and Consultants, the repurchase option shall in no case lapse at a rate of less than 20% per year over five (5) years from the date of purchase.
(c)
Other Provisions
. The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
(d)
Rights as a Stockholder
. Once the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, the purchaser shall have rights equivalent to those of a stockholder and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.
12.
Limited Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights
. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Options and Stock Purchase Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator in its sole discretion makes an Option or Stock Purchase Right transferable, such Option or Stock Purchase Right may only be transferred (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, or (iii) to family members (within the meaning of Rule 701 of the Securities Act) through gifts or domestic relations orders, as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act.
13.
Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control
.
(a)
Adjustments
. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, may (in its sole discretion) adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right; provided, however, that the Administrator shall make such adjustments to the extent required by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code.
(b)
Dissolution or Liquidation
. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option or Stock Purchase Right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
(c)
Merger or Change in Control
. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or a Change in Control, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation in a merger or
Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or Stock Purchase Right, then the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully exercisable for a period of time as determined by the Administrator, and the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall terminate upon expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of common stock in the merger or Change in Control.
14.
Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights
. The date of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an Option or Stock Purchase Right is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
15.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan
.
(a)
Amendment and Termination
. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
(b)
Stockholder Approval
. The Board shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.
(c)
Effect of Amendment or Termination
. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.
16.
Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares
.
(a)
Legal Compliance
. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right unless the exercise of such Option or Stock Purchase Right and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
(b)
Investment Representations
. As a condition to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Option or Stock Purchase Right to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.
17.
Inability to Obtain Authority
. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
18.
Reservation of Shares
. The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
19.
Stockholder Approval
. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws.
20.

Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”).

The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all exercised Shares.

Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.
8.
Term of Option
. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
OPTIONEE:
COMPANY:
MIRAMAR LABS, INC.
SECURITY: COMMON STOCK
AMOUNT:
DATE:
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following:
(a)
Optionee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
(b)
Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with any legend required under applicable state securities laws.
(c)
Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under
Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Exchange Act); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.
In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.
(d)
Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

Pursuant to this Section 2, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not

Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful
.

shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with (a) each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter, and (b) any claim, issue or matter related to any such successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.

Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness
.

7.
Exclusions
. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):
(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;
(b) for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if Indemnitee is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);
(c) for any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act of 2002 (the “
Sarbanes‑Oxley Act
”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act), if Indemnitee is held liable therefor;
(d) initiated by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Company’s board of directors authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law, (iii) otherwise authorized in Section 12(d) or (iv) otherwise required by applicable law; or
(e) if prohibited by applicable law.
8.
Advances of Expenses
.
(a) The Company shall advance the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding prior to its final resolution, and such advancement shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 60 days, after the receipt by the Company of a written statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditure made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice). Advances shall be unsecured and interest free and made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay such advances. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay any advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. This Section 8 shall not apply to the extent advancement is prohibited by law and shall not apply to any Proceeding for which indemnity is not permitted under this Agreement, but shall apply to any Proceeding referenced in Section 7(b) or 7(c) prior to a determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
9.
Procedures for Notification and Defense of Claim
.
(a) Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of any matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of notice thereof. The written notification to the Company shall include, in reasonable detail, a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying the Proceeding. The failure by Indemnitee to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or otherwise than under this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company.
(b) If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a Proceeding pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of the Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall thereafter take all commercially-reasonable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.
(c) In the event the Company may be obligated to make any indemnity in connection with a Proceeding, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. After the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee for any fees or expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding. Notwithstanding the Company’s assumption of the defense of any such Proceeding, the Company shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s separate counsel to the extent (i) the employment of separate counsel by Indemnitee is authorized by the Company, (ii) counsel for the Company or Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense such that Indemnitee needs to be separately represented, (iii) the fees and expenses are non‑duplicative and reasonably incurred in connection with Indemnitee’s role in the Proceeding despite the Company’s assumption of the defense; (iv) the Company is not financially or legally able to perform its indemnification obligations, or (v) the Company shall not have retained, or shall not continue to retain, such counsel to defend such Proceeding. The Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees fit in its sole discretion. Regardless of any provision in this Agreement, Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in any Proceeding at Indemnitee’s personal expense. The Company shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Company.
(d) Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation in connection with the Proceeding as may be reasonably appropriate.
(e) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee for any settlement of any Proceeding (or any part thereof) without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(f) The Company shall have the right to settle any Proceeding (or any part thereof) without the consent of Indemnitee.
10.
Procedures upon Application for Indemnification
.
(a)
To obtain indemnification, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee
and as is reasonably
necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of the Proceeding. Any delay in providing the request will not relieve the Company from its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent such failure is prejudicial.
(b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a), a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Company’s board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, if required by applicable law (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Company’s board of directors, (B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Company’s board of directors, (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Company’s board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (D) if so directed by the Company’s board of directors, by the stockholders of the Company. If it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information that is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and that is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(c) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 10(b), the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 10(c). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Company’s board of directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Company’s board of directors, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection;
provided
,
however
, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after the later of (i) submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof and (ii) the final disposition of the Proceeding, the parties have not agreed upon an Independent Counsel, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and for the appointment as Independent
Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 10(b) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing). The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any Independent Counsel.
11.
Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings
.
(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, and the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption.
(b) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere
or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
(c) Neither the knowledge, actions nor failure to act of any other director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
12.
Remedies of Indemnitee
.
(a) Subject to Section 12(e), in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 or 12(d) of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement within 90 days after the later of the receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification or the final disposition of the Proceeding, (iv) payment of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement is not made (A) within ten days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or (B) with respect to indemnification pursuant to Sections 4, 5 and 12(d) of this Agreement, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) the Company or any other person or entity takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration with respect to his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses, to be
conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 12(a);
provided
,
however
, that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under Section 4 of this Agreement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) Neither (i) the failure of the Company, its board of directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor (ii) an actual determination by the Company, its board of directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration
commenced
pursuant
to this Section 12 shall be conducted in all respects as a
de novo
trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.
(c) To the fullest extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statements not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.
(d) To the extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses that are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company to the extent Indemnitee is successful in such action, and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 60 days, after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance such Expenses to Indemnitee, subject to the provisions of Section 8. Such advances shall be subject to Indemnitee’s agreement to repay the sums advanced if the court (or arbitrator) finds that each material argument or defense advanced by Indemnitee in such action or arbitration was either frivolous or not made in good faith.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.
13.
Contribution
. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amounts incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the events and transactions giving rise to such Proceeding; and (ii) the relative fault of Indemnitee and the Company (and its other directors, officers, employees and agents) in connection with such events and transactions.
14.
Non‑exclusivity
. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change, subject to the restrictions expressly set forth herein or therein. Except as expressly set forth herein, no right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Except as expressly set forth herein, the
assertion
or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.
15.
Primary Responsibility
. The Company acknowledges that to the extent Indemnitee is serving as a director on the Company’s board of directors at the request or direction of a venture capital fund or other entity and/or certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “
Secondary Indemnitors
”), Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by such Secondary Indemnitors. The Company agrees that, as between the Company and the Secondary Indemnitors, the Company is primarily responsible for amounts required to be indemnified or advanced under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or this Agreement and any obligation of the Secondary Indemnitors to provide indemnification or advancement for the same amounts is secondary to those Company obligations. To the extent not in contravention of any insurance policy or policies providing liability or other insurance for the Company or any director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or any other Enterprise, the Company waives any right of contribution or subrogation against the Secondary Indemnitors with respect to the liabilities for which the Company is primarily responsible under this Section 15. In the event of any payment by the Secondary Indemnitors of amounts otherwise required to be indemnified or advanced by the Company under
the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or this Agreement, the Secondary Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement of expenses under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or this Agreement or, to the extent such subrogation is unavailable and contribution is found to be the applicable remedy, shall have a right of contribution with respect to the amounts paid. The Secondary Indemnitors are express third‑party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 15.
16.
No Duplication of Payments
. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment for such amounts under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.
17.
Insurance
. To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, trustees, general partners, managing members, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Company or any other Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies to the same extent as the most favorably-insured persons under such policy or policies in a comparable position.
18.
Subrogation
. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
19.
Services to the Company
. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director or officer of the Company or, at the request of the Company, as a director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another Enterprise, for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation or is removed from such position. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that any employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) is at will, and Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, with or without notice, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in any executed, written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise), any existing formal severance policies adopted by the Company’s board of directors or, with respect to service as a director or officer of the Company, the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or the DGCL. No such document shall be subject to any oral modification thereof.
20.
Duration
. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of (a) ten years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of any other Enterprise, as applicable; or (b) one year after the final termination of any Proceeding, including any appeal, then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of
indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement relating thereto.
21.
Successors
. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
22.
Severability
. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court order or other applicable law, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.
23.
Enforcement
. The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company.
24.
Entire Agreement
. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof;
provided
,
however
, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and applicable law.
25.
Modification and Waiver
. No supplement, modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement shall adversely affect any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. No waiver of any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
26.

. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or otherwise delivered by hand, messenger or courier service addressed:
(a) if to Indemnitee, to Indemnitee’s address, as shown on the signature page of this Agreement or in the Company’s records, as may be updated in accordance with the provisions hereof; or

”). As of the Effective Date, Executive will serve as the Company’s CFO reporting to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (the “

For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Board, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Executive may, without the approval of the Board, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational, social, or charitable organization, provided such services do not interfere with Executive’s obligations to the Company.
(c)
Prior Agreements
. Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that she is not party to any contract, understanding, agreement or policy, written or otherwise, which
would be breached by her entering into, or performing services under, this Agreement.

(d)
Other Entities
. Executive agrees to serve and may be appointed, without additional compensation, as an officer and director for any of the Company’s subsidiaries, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and other affiliates, including entities in which the Company has a significant investment as determined by the Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “affiliates” will include any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control of the Company.
2.
At-Will Employment
. Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s employment with the Company constitutes “at-will” employment. Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the election of either the Company or Executive. Executive understands and agrees that neither her job performance nor promotions, commendations, bonuses or the like from the Company give rise to or in any way serve as the basis for modification, amendment, or extension, by implication or otherwise, of her employment with the Company
3.
Compensation
.
(a)
Base Salary
. As of the Effective Date, the Company will pay Executive an annual salary of $300,000 as compensation for her services (such annual salary, as is then effective, to be referred to herein as “
Base Salary
”), paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, but not less than monthly, and be subject to the usual, required withholdings. Executive will not be eligible for overtime pay.

Moving Allowance

Such reimbursement shall be made by the Company to Executive in the next regularly scheduled payroll following sufficient proof of such expenses, as determined in Company’s sole judgment.
4.
Stock Options

(a)
Option Grant
. The Company will recommend to the Board, at the first meeting of the Board following the Effective Date, that Executive be granted a stock option, which will be, to the extent possible under the $100,000 rule of Section 422(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “
Code
”), an “incentive stock option” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code), to purchase 550,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “
Option
”). The Option represents five percent (1.25%) of the Company’s total outstanding shares calculated on a fully-diluted basis as of the date of the Offer Letter. The exercise price per share for the Option will be equal to the fair market value per share of an underlying share of Company common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to the Option shall vest on
the one (1) year anniversary of the vesting commencement date for the Option, subject to Executive’s continued service with the Company through such date, and no shares shall vest before such date. The remaining shares subject to the Option shall vest monthly over the next thirty-six (36) months in equal monthly amounts subject to Executive’s continued service with the Company through each such vesting date. The Option shall be subject to the terms, definitions and conditions, including vesting requirements, of the Company’s 2006 Stock Plan (the “
Equity Plan
”) and a stock option agreement between Executive and the Company (the “
Option Agreement
”), both of which are incorporated herein by reference. No right to any stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the grant confer any right to continue vesting or employment.
5.
Severance.
(a)
Termination without Cause or for Good Reason
. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, death or disability or by Executive for Good Reason prior to a Change of Control, or within the twelve (12) month period immediately following a Change of Control, then, subject to Section 5(b) below, Executive will receive: (i) continued payment of Executive’s Base Salary as then in effect (less applicable withholdings), for nine (9) months, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies; (ii) full vesting with respect to Executive’s then outstanding unvested equity awards (including the Option) that are subject to time-based vesting (i.e., excluding any awards that vest based on performance or other similar objectives), and (iii) reimbursement for premiums paid for continued health benefits under COBRA for Executive (and any eligible dependents) under the Company’s group health plans until the earlier of (A) nine (9) months (provided Executive and/or any eligible dependents validly elects to continue coverage under COBRA), or (B) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents loses eligibility for COBRA.
(b)
Separation Agreement and Release of Claims
. The receipt of any severance or other benefits pursuant to Section 5(a) will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company within (60) days following Executive’s employment termination date or such earlier date required by the release agreement (such deadline, the “
Release Deadline
”). No severance or other benefits will be paid or provided until the separation agreement and release agreement becomes effective. If the release does not become effective by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to severance under this letter. Upon the release becoming effective, any payments delayed from the date Executive terminates employment through the effective date of the release will be payable in a lump sum without interest as soon as administratively practicable after the Release Deadline and all other amounts will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.
6.
Limitation on Payments
. In the event that the benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (x) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (y) but for this Section 6, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s benefits will be either (i) delivered in full, or (ii) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt
by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in amounts to be paid must be made, any non-cash amounts will be reduced prior to the reduction of any cash amounts. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 6 will be made in writing by a well-recognized independent public accounting firm chosen by the Company (the “
Accountants
”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 6. The Company will bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6.
7.
Employee Benefits
.
(a)
Generally
. During the Employment Term, Executive is entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans currently and hereafter maintained by the TriNet Employer Group, Inc., without limitation, the medical, dental, vision, life, flexible spending account and disability plans.

Accordingly, you will be able to participate in any Company-sponsored retirement plan, subject to the provisions of the plan.
(b)
Paid Time Off
. During the Employment Term, Executive will be entitled to twenty (20) days of paid time off (“
PTO
”), which will accrue at a rate of thirteen and one-third (13 and 1/3) hours per month, in accordance with the Company’s PTO policy. PTO shall be taken at such time as mutually and reasonably agreed by Executive and the Company. Executive will receive paid holidays in accordance with the Company’s regular holiday practices.
8.

10.
Code Section 409A
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement solely with respect to the timing of the payment of any severance payments or benefits other than payment on account of Executive’s termination due to Executive’s death, if Executive is a “
specified employee
” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and any regulations and guidance promulgated
thereunder (“
Section 409A
”) at the time of Executive’s termination of employment, then to the extent any severance payments payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, and any other severance payments or separation benefits are a plan or part of a plan providing for the “
deferral of compensation
” under Section 409A (together, the “
Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits
”) otherwise due to Executive on or within the six (6) month period following Executive’s termination of employment will accrue during such six (6) month period and will become payable in a lump sum payment on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s termination of employment, unless Executive dies following the termination of her employment, in which case, the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be paid to the personal representative of Executive’s estate (which shall be Executive’s living trust, or if there is none, her probate estate) as soon as practicable following her death. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply.

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS
, the Company and the Executive entered into an offer letter agreement on November 25, 2013 (the “
Offer Letter
”), pursuant to which Executive agreed to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“
CEO
”), reporting to the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “
Board
”).
WHEREAS
, the Company desires for Executive to continue to serve as the Company’s CEO, and Executive desires and is willing to continue employment with the Company in such capacity; and
WHEREAS
, the Company and Executive desire to embody the terms and conditions of Executive’s employment in a written employment agreement, which will supersede all prior agreements of employment, whether written or oral, between the Company and Executive, including, without limitation, the Offer Letter.
NOW, THEREFORE
, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1.
Duties and Scope of Employment
.
(a)
Positions and Duties
. As of the Effective Date, Executive will continue to serve as the Company’s CEO reporting to the Chairman of the Board. Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position within the Company, as will reasonably be assigned to him by the Board. The period Executive is employed by the Company under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “
Employment Term
”.
(b)
Obligations
. During the Employment Term, Executive will devote Executive’s full business efforts and time to the Company and will use good faith efforts to discharge Executive’s obligations under this Agreement to the best of Executive’s ability and in accordance with each of the Company’s corporate guidance and ethics guidelines, conflict of interests policies and code of conduct, including, without limitation, Company policy not to disclose any information regarding salary, bonuses, or stock purchase or option allocations to other employees, either directly or indirectly. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Board, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Executive may, without the
approval of the Board, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational, social, or charitable organization, provided such services do not interfere with Executive’s obligations to the Company.
(c)
Prior Agreements
. Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that he is not party to any contract, understanding, agreement or policy, written or otherwise, which would be breached by her entering into, or performing services under, this Agreement. Executive further represents that he has disclosed to the Company in writing all threatened, pending, or actual claims against Executive of which he is aware, that are unresolved and still outstanding as of the Effective Date, in each case, as a result of his employment with any previous employer or his membership on any boards of directors.
(d)
Other Entities
. Executive agrees to serve and may be appointed, without additional compensation, as an officer and director for any of the Company’s subsidiaries, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and other affiliates, including entities in which the Company has a significant investment as determined by the Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “affiliates” will include any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control of the Company.
2.
At-Will Employment
. Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s employment with the Company constitutes “at-will” employment. Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the election of either the Company or Executive. Executive understands and agrees that neither her job performance nor promotions, commendations, bonuses or the like from the Company give rise to or in any way serve as the basis for modification, amendment, or extension, by implication or otherwise, of her employment with the Company
3.
Compensation
.
(a)
Base Salary
. As of the Effective Date, the Company will pay Executive an annual salary of $453,000 as compensation for his services (such annual salary, as is then effective, to be referred to herein as “
Base Salary
”), paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, but not less than monthly, and be subject to the usual, required withholdings. Executive will not be eligible for overtime pay.
(b)
Target Bonus
. Executive will be eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to forty percent (40%) of Executive’s Base Salary, less applicable withholdings, upon achievement of performance objectives to be mutually agreed upon by Executive and the Board, provided that the Board will determine whether such performance objectives have been achieved in its sole discretion (the “Target Bonus”). The Target Bonus, or any portion thereof, will be paid in Quarter 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the Board determines that the Target Bonus has been earned, but in no event shall the Target Bonus be paid after the later of (i) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd)
month following the close of the Company’s fiscal year in which the Target Bonus is earned or (ii) March 15 following the calendar year in which the Target Bonus is earned.
(c)
Housing Allowance
. The Company will reimburse Executive through payroll, in an amount not to exceed $5,000 per month, for housing expenses in the Bay Area. Each such reimbursement shall be made by the Company to Executive in the next regularly scheduled payroll following sufficient proof of such expenses, as determined in Company’s sole judgment.
(d)
Review and Adjustments
. Executive’s Base Salary, Target Bonus, and other compensatory arrangements will be subject to review and adjustment in accordance with the Company’s applicable policies.
4.
Stock Options
.
(a)
Option Grant
. On July 17, 2014, the Board granted Executive a stock option to purchase 2,969,439 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “
First Option
”). On October 9, 2014, the Board granted Executive a stock option to purchase an additional 559,615 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “
Second Option
,” and together with the First Option, the “
Options
”)
.
The Options represent five and one-half percent (5.50%) of the Company’s total outstanding shares calculated on a fully-diluted basis as of the post-closing of the Series D financing. The exercise price per share for each Option is $0.49, which is equal to the fair market value per share of an underlying share of Company common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board. The vesting schedule of each Option will remain as follows: Twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to the Option shall vest on the one (1) year anniversary of the vesting commencement date for the Option, subject to Executive’s continued service with the Company through such date, and the remaining shares subject to the Option will vest monthly over the next thirty-six (36) months in equal monthly amounts subject to Executive’s continued service with the Company through each such vesting date. Each Option shall continue to be subject to the terms, definitions and conditions, including vesting requirements, of the Company’s 2006 Stock Plan (the “
Equity Plan
”) and a stock option agreement between Executive and the Company (each an “
Option Agreement
”), both of which are incorporated herein by reference. No right to any stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the grant confer any right to continue vesting or employment.
(b)
Change in Control
. If, during the twelve (12)-month period after a Change in Control, (i) Executive terminates her employment with the Company (or any affiliate) for Good Reason or (ii) the Company (or any affiliate) terminates Executive’s employment without Cause, Executive will be entitled to accelerated vesting as to one hundred percent (100%) of the then unvested portion of all of Executive’s outstanding stock options, including, for the avoidance of any doubt, the Options.
5.
Limitation on Payments
. In the event that the benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (x) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section
280G of the Code and (y) but for this Section 5 would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s benefits will be either (i) delivered in full, or (ii) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in amounts to be paid must be made, any non-cash amounts will be reduced prior to the reduction of any cash amounts. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5 will be made in writing by a well-recognized independent public accounting firm chosen by the Company (the “
Accountants
”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 5, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 5. The Company will bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 5.
6.

. During the Employment Term, Executive is entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans currently and hereafter maintained by the Company, without limitation, the medical, dental, vision, life, flexible spending account and disability plans. The Company may cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers to the Company’s employees at any time. Accordingly, Executive will be able to participate in any Company-sponsored retirement plan, subject to the provisions of the applicable plan.
(b)
Paid Time Off
. During the Employment Term, Executive will be entitled to fifteen (15) days of paid time off (“
PTO
”), which will accrue at a rate of ten (10) hours per month, in accordance with the Company’s PTO policy. PTO shall be taken at such time as mutually and reasonably agreed by Executive and the Company. Executive will receive paid holidays in accordance with the Company’s regular holiday practices.

8.
Code Section 409A
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement solely with respect to the timing of the payment of any severance payments or benefits other than payment on account of Executive’s termination due to Executive’s death, if Executive is a “
specified employee
” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and any regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“
Section 409A
”) at the time of Executive’s termination of employment, then to the extent any severance payments payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, and any other severance payments or separation benefits are a plan or part of a plan providing for the “
deferral of compensation
” under Section 409A (together, the “
Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits
”) otherwise due to Executive on or within the six (6) month period following Executive’s termination of employment will accrue during such six (6) month period and will become payable in a lump sum payment on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s termination of employment, unless Executive dies following the termination of her employment, in which case, the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be paid to the personal representative of Executive’s estate (which shall be Executive’s living trust, or if there is none, her probate estate) as soon as practicable following her death. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply.
