2.3 Procedure for Making Loan.

(a) Notice. Whenever Borrower desires that Lender make a Loan, Borrower shall so notify Lender in writing (or by telephone with prompt confirmation in writing) at least ten (10) Business Days in advance of the desired Funding Date, which notice shall be irrevocable. Lender’s obligation to make Loans shall be expressly subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 3.1 with regard to the initial Loan, and 3.2. Lender shall have the right, exercisable at any time, to request that Borrower furnish Lender with such additional information with respect to the Loans as Lender shall reasonably request.

(b) Loan Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the Loan Commencement Date until such Loan has been paid in full, at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Basic Rate, determined as of the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Loan Commencement Date. The Basic Rate applicable to each Loan shall be fixed for the Repayment Period and shall not be subject to change in the absence of a manifest error. All computations of interest on each Loan shall be based on a year of three hundred sixty (360) days for actual days elapsed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Commitment to Borrower shall terminate if, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, and business of the Borrower, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the business plan of Borrower presented to Lender, since the date of this Agreement.

In any event, all unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on the last Payment Date with respect to such Loan. In addition to the foregoing, on the Funding Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender in advance, an amount equal to the Scheduled Payment that would otherwise be payable on the last Payment Date.

(c) Final Payment. On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay, in addition to the unpaid principal, if any, and accrued interest, if any, and all other amounts due on such date with respect to such Loan, an amount equal to the Final Payment with respect to such Loan.

(b) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration.

7


proposed date for the consummation of such Change of Control that Lender consent to the continued existence and enforceability of the Loan Documents against the surviving entity of such Change of Control. Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to grant such Continuation Request and Lender may consider, among other things in making its determination the credit-worthiness of the surviving entity (including Borrower if it is the surviving entity), its parents and affiliates, the financial statements and reports of operations of such entities and such other data and information as Lender may determine to be relevant to its determination; provided however, that in the event the surviving entity (including Borrower if it is the surviving entity) and/or its parent or affiliates is, immediately following such Change of Control, at least as credit-worthy as Borrower was as of the date of this Agreement, then Lender shall grant the Continuation Request to Borrower provided that Borrower furnish any items (or take any actions) requested by Lender in accordance with the next sentence. Lender may require, in connection with the granting of the Continuation Request, that (i) the surviving entity and its parents and/or affiliates expressly assume the duties and performance obligations of Borrower under each Loan Document as a condition to the granting of the Continuation Request by Lender and (ii) Borrower enter into an assignment and assumption agreement with such entity or entities as applicable. Such assignment and assumption agreement(s) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Should (i) Borrower choose not to make a Continuation Request, (ii) Lender, in its sole discretion, determine not to grant the Continuation Request, (iii) Borrower fail to provide any information reasonably requested by Lender as part of Lender’s consideration of Borrower’s Continuation Request or (iv) Borrower fail to obtain the requisite assignment and assumption agreement(s), Borrower or the surviving entity may, and Lender shall be entitled to require Borrower or the surviving entity to, make a prepayment in full within five (5) days following the consummation of the Change of Control of (i) all unpaid and remaining Interim Payments and/or Scheduled Payments with respect to the Loans outstanding and due hereunder, (ii) the Final Payment, and (iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder with respect to any and all Obligations.

(C) There shall be no mandatory prepayment upon the happening of an initial public offering of Borrower’s securities under clause (iv) of the definition of Liquidation Event in the absence of any Default or Event of Default otherwise caused thereby.

(D) The failure of Borrower to comply with the terms of this Section 2.5 in connection with a Liquidation Event as set forth herein shall constitute an Event of Default.

Borrower may voluntarily prepay in full the aggregate of all Loans outstanding, provided that each of the following conditions is satisfied at the time of such prepayment: Borrower shall pay to Lender in full (i) all unpaid and remaining Interim Payments and/or Scheduled Payments with respect to the Loans outstanding and due hereunder, (ii) the Final Payment, and (iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder with respect to any and all Obligations.

6.8 Use; Maintenance.

(a) Borrower, at its expense, shall make all necessary site preparations and cause the Collateral to be operated in accordance with any applicable manufacturer’s manuals or instructions.

If maintenance is mandated by manufacturer, Borrower shall obtain and keep in effect, at all times during the Term maintenance service contracts with suppliers approved by Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

The deductible with respect to insurance against loss or damage to the Collateral and product liability insurance shall not exceed Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000); otherwise there shall be no deductible with respect to any insurance required to be maintained hereunder without the prior written approval of Lender.

(a) Borrower shall bear the risk of the Collateral being lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged beyond repair, rendered permanently unfit for use, or seized by a governmental authority for any reason whatsoever at any time until the expiration or termination of the Term.

(b) If during the Term any item of Collateral becomes obsolete or is lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged beyond repair, rendered permanently unfit for use, or seized by a governmental authority for any reason whatsoever for a period equal to at least the remainder of the Term (an “Event of Loss”), then in each case Lender shall receive from the proceeds of insurance maintained pursuant to Section 6.9, from any award paid by the seizing governmental authority or, to the extent not received from the proceeds of insurance or award or both, from Borrower, on or before the Payment Date next succeeding such Event of Loss, an amount equal to the sum of: (i) the pro rata portion of all unpaid and remaining Interim Payments and/or Scheduled Payments with respect to the Loans outstanding and due hereunder related to the specific item(s) of Collateral which were the subject of an Event of Loss, and (ii) the pro rata portion of Final Payment related to the Loans outstanding and due hereunder related to the item(s) of Collateral which were the subject of an Event of Loss, and (iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder with respect to such item(s) of Collateral which were the subject of an Event of Loss, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. On the date of receipt by Lender of the amount specified above with respect to each such item of Collateral subject to an Event of Loss, this Agreement shall terminate as to such specific items of Collateral. Except as provided in Section 6.10(c), any proceeds of insurance maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 6.9 and received by Borrower up to the amount calculated in the previous sentence shall be paid to Lender promptly upon their receipt by Borrower, net of any sums previously furnished by Borrower to Lender on account of an Event of Loss under this Section 6.10(b). If any proceeds of insurance or awards received from governmental authorities are in excess of the amount owed under this Section 6.10, Lender shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount in excess of the amount owed to Lender.

(c) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any proceeds of insurance maintained pursuant to Section 6.9 received by Lender or Borrower with respect to an item of Collateral, the repair or replacement of which is practicable, shall, at the election of Borrower, be applied either to the repair or replacement of such Collateral or, upon Lender’s receipt of evidence of the repair or replacement of the Collateral reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to the reimbursement of Borrower for the cost of such repair or replacement. All replacement parts and equipment acquired by Borrower in replacement of Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.10(c) shall immediately become part of the Collateral upon acquisition by Borrower. Borrower shall take such actions and provide such documentation as may be reasonably requested by Lender to protect and preserve their first priority security interest and otherwise to avoid any impairment of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents in connection with such repair or replacement.

6.11 Consultation Rights. Up and until a Liquidation Event and subject to the limitations set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 6.11, Borrower shall permit Lender to participate in the deliberations of Borrower’s management and attempt to influence the conduct of Borrower’s management through the exercise, at reasonable times, of the following consultation rights:

(a) Lender shall be entitled to consult with and advise Borrower’s management on significant business issues, including management’s proposed annual operating plans, and management will meet with Lender regularly during each year at mutually agreeable times (at least twice per calendar year) for such consultation and advice and to review progress and operating results.

 

16


(b) In addition to its rights under Section 4.6, Lender may request information at reasonable times and intervals concerning Borrower’s financial condition and operations, provided that access to highly confidential proprietary information need not be provided unless otherwise required or consented to under this Agreement.

(c) Borrower shall provide Lender’s designated representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other material that Borrower provides to its board of directors. The representative may be excluded from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if Borrower believes, upon advice of counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, to protect highly confidential proprietary information or for other similar reasons, provided that access is not otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Agreement. Upon reasonable notice and at a scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors or such other time, if any, as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion, such representative may address the Board of Directors with respect to Lender’s concerns regarding significant business issues facing Borrower.

(d) The rights of Lender under this Section 6.11 to consult with and advise Borrower concerning significant business issues shall not be deemed or urged by Borrower to vest Lender with the power or right to control the conduct of management of Borrower. Borrower agrees that nothing in this Section 6.11 relieves Borrower’s management or Board of Directors of their respective fiduciary duties under applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.11, Lender’s rights granted herein shall not extend to, and Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no control, management or influence over Borrower of any kind respecting, any matter concerning: (i) the payment of any vendor or creditor of the Borrower, (ii) the content of any document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other state or federal regulatory body or agency, (iii) the transport, handling or storage of any material or waste designated as hazardous or otherwise regulated or controlled under any law, regulation or ordinance, (iv) payroll tax, (v) pension plans, or (vi) the termination of non-executive employees.

Borrower further agrees that should it establish any other accounts in substitution for such closed or depleted accounts, or shall otherwise establish any new deposit or operating accounts from which payments hereunder may be made, it shall notify Lender of the same and at Lender’s request, Borrower shall execute a new ACH Authorization Form in favor of Lender granting Lender authority to create ACH debit and/or credit entries in such accounts for the purposes of effecting payments under Section 2.7(a). Borrower shall take all steps reasonably requested by Lender to maintain an ACH payment arrangement with Lender for so long as any Obligations remain outstanding.

6.13 Litigation. Borrower will promptly notify Lender in writing if any action, proceeding or governmental investigation involving Borrower is commenced that may result in damages or costs to Borrower of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or more or that could have a material adverse effect on Borrower or the aggregate value of the Collateral or the priority of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral.

 

17

In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the rights, options, duties and remedies of a secured party as permitted by law and, in addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, Lender may, at its election, without notice of election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:

(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, including all remaining Interim and/or Scheduled Payments and the Final Payment due pursuant to each Loan, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.11 or 8.12 all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Lender);

(b) Without notice to or demand upon Borrower, make such payments and do such acts as Lender considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Lender so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Lender as Lender may designate. Borrower authorizes Lender to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Lender’s determination appears to be prior or superior to their security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With

 

20


respect to any of Borrower’s owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Lender a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, for up to one hundred twenty (120) days in order to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

(c) Without notice to Borrower, set off and apply to the Obligations any and all indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

(d) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any Property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of their rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit;

(e) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Lender determines are commercially reasonable;

(f) Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and

(g) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.

9.2 Effect of Sale. Any sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the Property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Borrower, its successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming the Property sold or any part thereof under, by or through Borrower, its successors or assigns.

9.3 Power of Attorney in Respect of the Collateral. Borrower does hereby irrevocably appoint Lender (which appointment is coupled with an interest) on the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the true and lawful attorney in fact of Borrower with full power of substitution, for it and in its name: (a) to ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any and all rents, issues, profits, avails, distributions, income, payment draws and other sums in which a security interest is granted under Section 4 with full power to settle, adjust or compromise any claim thereunder as fully as if Lender were Borrowers themselves, (b) to receive payment of and to endorse the name of Borrower to any items of Collateral (including checks, drafts and other orders for the payment of money) that come into such Lender’s possession or under such Lender’s control, (c) to make all demands, consents and waivers, or take any other action with respect to, the Collateral, (d) in Lender’s discretion to file any claim or take any other action or proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, which Lender may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Collateral, or (e) to otherwise act with respect thereto as though Lender were the outright owner of the Collateral.

9.4 Lender’s Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Lender may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set

 

21


up such reserves in Borrower’s loan account as Lender deems necessary to protect Lender from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.9 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Lender deem prudent. Any amounts paid or deposited by Lender shall constitute Lender’s Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Lender shall not constitute an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

9.5 Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

Warrant No.                    

   Number of Shares: 23,088

CODEXIS, INC.

Effective as of February 12, 2004

Void after February 12, 2011

1. Issuance. This Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) is issued to LIGHTHOUSE CAPITAL PARTNERS V, L.P. by CODEXIS, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter with its successors called the “Company”).

2. Purchase Price; Number of Shares. The registered holder of this Warrant (the “Holder”), commencing on the date hereof, is entitled upon surrender of this Warrant with the subscription form annexed hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company, to purchase from the Company at a price per share of $0.40 (the “Purchase Price”), 23,088 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).

Until such time as this Warrant is exercised in full or expires, the Purchase Price and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. The person or persons in whose name or names any certificate representing shares of Common Stock is issued hereunder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby as at the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised with respect to such shares, whether or not the transfer books of the Company shall be closed.

3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price may be paid (a) in cash or by check, or (b) by any combination of the foregoing.

4. Net Issue Election. The Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the net issue election notice annexed hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula:

 

 

 

X=

 

 

    Y(A-B)    

        A

    

where: X =

  the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 4.

 

1


Y =

  the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

A =

  the Fair Market Value (defined below) of one share of Common Stock as determined at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

B =

  the Purchase Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock as of the date that the net issue election is made (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:

(i) If the net issue election is made in connection with and contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Company’s Common Stock to the public in a public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement under the 1933 Act (a “Public Offering”), and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such Public Offering (Registration Statement”) has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering.

(ii) If the net issue election is not made in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows:

(a) If traded on a securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing or last reported sale prices of the Common Stock on such exchange or market over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date;

(b) If otherwise traded in an over-the-counter market, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing ask prices of the Common Stock over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date; and

(c) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair market value shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

5. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant, which shall be dated as of the date of this Warrant, covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised.

6. Fractional Shares. In no event shall any fractional share of Common Stock be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. If, upon exercise of this Warrant in its entirety, the Holder would, except as provided in this Section 6, be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock, then the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Common Stock’s fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) on the date of exercise.

7. Expiration Date; Automatic Exercise. This Warrant shall expire at the close of business on February 12, 2011, and shall be void thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, without any further action on behalf of the Holder, immediately prior to the time this Warrant would otherwise expire pursuant to the preceding sentence.

8. Reserved Shares; Valid Issuance. The Company covenants that it will at all times from and after the date hereof reserve and keep available such number of its authorized shares of Common Stock, free from all preemptive or similar rights therein, as will be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant in full. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to such exercise will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

9. Stock Splits and Dividends. If after the date hereof the Company shall subdivide the Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine the Common Stock, or issue additional shares of Common Stock in payment of a stock dividend on the Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock 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, and the Purchase Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

10. Antidilution Rights. The other antidilution rights applicable to the Common Stock of the Company are set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the “Articles”), a true and complete copy in its current form which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such rights shall not be restated, amended or modified in any manner which affects the Holder differently than the holders of Common Stock without such Holder’s prior written consent. The Company shall promptly provide the Holder hereof with any restatement, amendment or modification to the Articles promptly after the same has been made.

11. Dissolutions, Liquidations, Mergers or Changes in Control.

(a) Dissolution or Liquidation.

To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Warrant will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(b) Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or a Change in Control, the Warrant shall be assumed or an equivalent warrant substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation or parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation in a merger or Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for the Warrant, then the Company shall notify the Holder in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 hereof of the pending Change of Control and Holder may then elect to exercise the Warrant not less than three (3) days prior to the effective date of the Change of Control.

(c) Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or

(ii) The consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

 

3


(iii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation.

12. Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a certificate of the Company’s chief financial officer setting forth the Purchase Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

13. Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event of:

(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or dispose of any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;

(b) any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, capital reorganization of the Company, consolidation or merger involving the Company, or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets; or

(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then in each such event the Company will provide or cause to be provided to the Holder a written notice thereof. Such notice shall be provided at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken.

Void after February 12, 2011

1. Issuance. This Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) is issued to LIGHTHOUSE CAPITAL PARTNERS IV, L.P. by CODEXIS, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter with its successors called the “Company”).

2. Purchase Price; Number of Shares. The registered holder of this Warrant (the “Holder”), commencing on the date hereof, is entitled upon surrender of this Warrant with the subscription form annexed hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company, to purchase from the Company at a price per share of $0.40 (the “Purchase Price”), 23,088 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).

Until such time as this Warrant is exercised in full or expires, the Purchase Price and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. The person or persons in whose name or names any certificate representing shares of Common Stock is issued hereunder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby as at the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised with respect to such shares, whether or not the transfer books of the Company shall be closed.

3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price may be paid (a) in cash or by check, or (b) by any combination of the foregoing.

4. Net Issue Election. The Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the net issue election notice annexed hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula:

 

 

 

X=

 

 

    Y(A-B)    

        A

    

where: X =

  the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 4.

 

1


Y =

  the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

A =

  the Fair Market Value (defined below) of one share of Common Stock as determined at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

B =

  the Purchase Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock as of the date that the net issue election is made (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:

(i) If the net issue election is made in connection with and contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Company’s Common Stock to the public in a public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement under the 1933 Act (a “Public Offering”), and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such Public Offering (Registration Statement”) has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering.

(ii) If the net issue election is not made in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows:

(a) If traded on a securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing or last reported sale prices of the Common Stock on such exchange or market over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date;

(b) If otherwise traded in an over-the-counter market, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing ask prices of the Common Stock over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date; and

(c) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair market value shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

5. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant, which shall be dated as of the date of this Warrant, covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised.

6. Fractional Shares. In no event shall any fractional share of Common Stock be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. If, upon exercise of this Warrant in its entirety, the Holder would, except as provided in this Section 6, be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock, then the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Common Stock’s fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) on the date of exercise.

7. Expiration Date; Automatic Exercise. This Warrant shall expire at the close of business on February 12, 2011, and shall be void thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, without any further action on behalf of the Holder, immediately prior to the time this Warrant would otherwise expire pursuant to the preceding sentence.

8. Reserved Shares; Valid Issuance. The Company covenants that it will at all times from and after the date hereof reserve and keep available such number of its authorized shares of Common Stock, free from all preemptive or similar rights therein, as will be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant in full. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to such exercise will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

9. Stock Splits and Dividends. If after the date hereof the Company shall subdivide the Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine the Common Stock, or issue additional shares of Common Stock in payment of a stock dividend on the Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock 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, and the Purchase Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

10. Antidilution Rights. The other antidilution rights applicable to the Common Stock of the Company are set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the “Articles”), a true and complete copy in its current form which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such rights shall not be restated, amended or modified in any manner which affects the Holder differently than the holders of Common Stock without such Holder’s prior written consent.

11. Dissolutions, Liquidations, Mergers or Changes in Control.

(a) Dissolution or Liquidation.

To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Warrant will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(b) Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or a Change in Control, the Warrant shall be assumed or an equivalent warrant substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation or parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation in a merger or Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for the Warrant, then the Company shall notify the Holder in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 hereof of the pending Change of Control and Holder may then elect to exercise the Warrant not less than three (3) days prior to the effective date of the Change of Control.

(c) Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or

(ii) The consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

 

3


(iii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation.

12. Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a certificate of the Company’s chief financial officer setting forth the Purchase Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment

13. Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event of:

(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or dispose of any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;

(b) any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, capital reorganization of the Company, consolidation or merger involving the Company, or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets; or

(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then in each such event the Company will provide or cause to be provided to the Holder a written notice thereof. Such notice shall be provided at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken.
