If the ACH payment arrangement is terminated for any reason, Borrower shall make all payments due to Lender at Lender’s address specified in Section 11.
(c) Default Rate. While an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, interest on the Loan shall be increased to the Default Rate. Lender’s failure to charge or accrue interest at the Default Rate during the existence of a Default shall not be deemed a waiver by Lender of its right or claim thereto.
(d) Date. Whenever any payment due under the Loan Documents is due on a day other than a business day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Lender’s Expenses. The payment of all Lender’s Expenses, which may become due to Lender by Borrower hereunder shall be payable by Borrower as set forth in Section 2.3(b). Lender’s Expenses not paid when due shall bear interest as principal at the Default Rate.

|  | 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 Preferred Stock (or fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) if the Preferred Stock has been automatically converted into 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 Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible.
(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, and the fair market value of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible;

#####

(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 the fair market value of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible; 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 Preferred 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 Preferred Stock, then the Company shall issue the next higher number of full shares of Preferred Stock, issuing a full share with respect to such fractional share.
7. Expiration Date; Automatic Exercise. This Warrant shall expire at the close of business on March 29, 2012, and shall be void thereafter (the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the term of this Warrant fixed pursuant to this Section 7, and provided Holder has received advance written notice of at least twenty (20) days and has not earlier exercised this Warrant, and provided this Warrant has not been assumed by the successor entity (or parent thereof), upon the consummation of a Merger (as defined below), this Warrant shall automatically be exercised pursuant to Section 4 hereof, without any action by Holder. “Merger” means: (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an Unaffiliated Entity (as defined below), or (ii) the merger, consolidation or acquisition of the Company with, into or by an Unaffiliated Entity (other than a merger or consolidation for the principle purpose of changing the domicile of the Company or a bona fide round of preferred stock equity financing), that results in the Company’s shareholders immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or acquisition holding, immediately thereafter, less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the successor corporation or its parent. “Unaffiliated Entity” means any entity that is owned or controlled by parties who own less than twenty percent (20%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such merger or sale of assets, consolidation or acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any outstanding warrants to purchase equity securities of the Company (it being acknowledged and agreed that options to acquire common stock issued to officers, directors, employees and consultants shall not be deemed “warrants”) are assumed by the successor entity of a Merger (or parent thereof), this Warrant shall also be similarly assumed and the automatic exercise provision in this Section 7 shall have no effect. The Company agrees to give the Holder written notice promptly after it has entered into a definitive agreement relating to any proposed Merger and written notice of termination of any definitive agreement relating to any proposed Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, (i) the Holder may expressly make any voluntary exercise of this Warrant contingent on, and effective immediately prior to, the consummation of such Merger and (ii) any automatic exercise of this Warrant in connection with a Merger shall be conditioned on consummation of such Merger and shall be effective immediately prior thereto.
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 Preferred Stock and Common Stock free from all preemptive or similar rights therein, as will be sufficient to permit, respectively, the exercise of this Warrant in full and the conversion into shares of Common Stock of all shares of Preferred Stock receivable upon such exercise. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to such exercise and/or conversion will, upon issuance, 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 Preferred Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine the Preferred Stock, or issue additional shares of Preferred Stock in payment of a stock dividend on the Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Preferred 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. Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The antidilution rights applicable to the Series D Preferred Stock of the Company are set forth in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the “Articles”), a true and complete copy in its current form which has been made available to Holder. Such rights shall not be restated, amended or modified in any manner which affects the Holder differently than the holders of outstanding Series D Preferred Stock without such Holder’s prior written consent. The Company shall provide the Holder hereof with any restatement, amendment or modification to the Articles promptly after the same has been made.
11. Mergers and Reclassifications. (a) Except as set forth in Section 7, If after the date hereof the Company shall enter into any Reorganization (as hereinafter defined), then, as a condition of such Reorganization, lawful provisions shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase, at a total price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant in full, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such Reorganization by a holder of the number of shares of Preferred Stock which might have been purchased by the Holder immediately prior to such Reorganization, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including without limitation, provisions for the adjustment of the Purchase Price and the number of shares issuable hereunder and the provisions relating to the net issue election) shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock or other securities and property thereafter deliverable upon exercise hereof. For the purposes of this Section 11, the term “Reorganization” shall include without limitation any reclassification, capital reorganization or change of the Preferred Stock (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 9 hereof), or any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation or other business organization (other than a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Preferred Stock), or any sale or conveyance to another corporation or other business organization of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, in the event of an automatic conversion of the Company’s outstanding Series D Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the Company’s Articles, as in effect from time to time, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire for the aggregate Purchase Price (as then in effect) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant would have then been convertible.
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 (or other appropriate 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;

For purposes of this Section 3, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (i) the acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Corporation) other than a transaction or series of transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to retain (either by such voting securities remaining outstanding or by such voting securities being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity), as a result of shares in the Corporation held by such holders prior to such transaction, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Corporation or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction or series of transactions; or (ii) a sale, transfer, lease or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.
(g) Valuation of Non-Cash Consideration. If any assets of the Corporation distributed to shareholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation are other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, except that any securities to be distributed to shareholders in a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation shall be valued as follows:
(i) If the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market System (or a similar national quotation system), then the value of the securities shall be deemed to be to the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the distribution;
(ii) if the securities are actively traded over-the-counter, then the value of the securities shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the securities over the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the distribution; or
(iii) if there is no active public market for the securities, then the value of the securities shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors which determination shall include consideration of the illiquidity of the securities.

-5-

#####

In the event of a merger or other acquisition of the Corporation by another entity, the distribution date shall be deemed to the date such transaction closes.
For the purposes of this subsection 3(g), “trading day” shall mean any day on which the exchange or system on which the securities to be distributed are traded is open, and “closing prices” or “closing bid prices” shall be deemed to be: (i) for securities traded primarily on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, the last reported trade price or sale price, as the case may be, at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on that day and (ii) for securities listed or traded on other exchanges, markets and systems, the market price as of the end of the “regular hours” trading period that is generally accepted as such for such exchange, market or system. If, after the date hereof, the benchmark times generally accepted in the securities industry for determining the market price of a stock as of a given trading day shall change from those set forth above, the fair market value shall be determined as of such other generally accepted benchmark times.
4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a) Right to Convert. Subject to Section 4(c), each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, into that number of fully-paid, nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Original Issue Price for the relevant series by the Conversion Price for such series. (The number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock of a series may be converted is hereinafter referred to as the “Conversion Rate” for each such series.) Upon any decrease or increase in the Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock, as described in this Section 4, the Conversion Rate for such series shall be appropriately increased or decreased.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Rate for such share (i) immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering on Form S-1 (or successor form) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering the offer and sale of the Corporation’s Common Stock, provided that the offering price per share is not less than $7.10 (as adjusted for stock splits or stock dividends) and the aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation are not less than $25,000,000, or (ii) upon the receipt by the Corporation of a written request for such conversion from the holders of two-thirds of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding, or, if later, the effective date for conversion specified in such requests (each of the events referred to in (i) and (ii) being hereinafter referred to as an “Automatic Conversion Event”).
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors. For such purpose, all shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder of Preferred Stock shall be aggregated, and any resulting fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock, and

-6-

#####

to receive certificates therefor, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same; provided, however, that on the date of an Automatic Conversion Event, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided further, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Automatic Conversion Event unless either the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. On the date of the occurrence of an Automatic Conversion Event, each holder of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, notwithstanding that the certificates representing such shares of Preferred Stock shall not have been surrendered at the office of the Corporation, that notice from the Corporation shall not have been received by any holder of record of shares of Preferred Stock, or that the certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such holder.
The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or after such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock, plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the converted Preferred Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date; provided, however, that if the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of the sale of such securities.
(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.
(i) Special Definition. For purposes of this paragraph 4(d), “Additional Shares of Common” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to paragraph 4(d)(iii), deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the filing of these Articles of Incorporation, other than:
(1) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock;

-7-

#####

(2) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to officers, directors and employees of, or consultants and other service providers to, the Corporation pursuant to stock grants, option plans, purchase plans or other employee stock incentive programs or arrangements approved by the Board of Directors or upon exercise of options or warrants granted to such parties pursuant to any such plan, program or arrangement;
(3) shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of Options or Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date of the filing of these Articles of Incorporation;
(4) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable as a dividend or distribution on Preferred Stock or pursuant to any event for which adjustment is made pursuant to paragraph 4(e), 4(f) or 4(g) hereof;
(5) shares of Common Stock issued in a registered public offering under the Securities Act pursuant to which all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are automatically converted into Common Stock pursuant to an Automatic Conversion Event;
(6) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Corporation by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement, provided, that such issuances are unanimously approved by the Board of Directors; and
(7) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions pursuant to a commercial leasing or debt financing transaction approved by the Board of Directors.
(ii) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Conversion Price of a particular series of Preferred Stock shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common unless the consideration per share (as determined pursuant to paragraph 4(d)(v)) for an Additional Share of Common issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to such issue, for such series of Preferred Stock.
(iii) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the date of the filing of these Articles of Incorporation shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options and the conversion or exchange of the underlying securities, shall be deemed to have been issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that in any such case in which shares are deemed to be issued:

-8-

#####

(1) no further adjustment in the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;
(2) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the Corporation, or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;
(3) no readjustment pursuant to clause (2) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock on the original adjustment date, or (ii) the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date;
(4) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) and any subsequent adjustments based thereon shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:
(A) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of such exercised Options plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange, and
(B) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of such exercised Options, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation (determined pursuant to Section 4(d)(v)) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised; and
(5) if such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made in the Conversion Price which became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of

-9-

#####

business on such record date, and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph 4(d)(iii) as of the actual date of their issuance.
(iv) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common. In the event this Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common (including Additional Shares of Common deemed to be issued pursuant to paragraph 4(d)(iii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price of a series of Preferred Stock in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then, the Conversion Price of the affected series of Preferred Stock shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common so issued. For the purposes of this Subsection 4(d)(iv), all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Options or the conversion of outstanding Convertible Securities and shares of Preferred Stock, and all Additional Shares of Common deemed issued pursuant to Subsection 4(d)(iii) hereof, shall be deemed to be outstanding.
(v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this subsection 4(d), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue (or deemed issue) of any Additional Shares of Common shall be computed as follows:
(1) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:
(A) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;
(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and
(C) in the event Additional Shares of Common are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (a) and (b) above, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(2) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common deemed to have been issued pursuant to paragraph 4(d)(iii) shall be determined by dividing
(X) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating

-10-

#####

thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities by
(Y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(e) Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Prices in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.
(f) Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Preferred Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or a series of Preferred Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Preferred Stock, the Dividend Rate, Original Issue Price and Liquidation Preference of the affected series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or a series of Preferred Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Preferred Stock, the Dividend Rate, Original Issue Price and Liquidation Preference of the affected series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.
(g) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. Subject to Section 3 above (“Liquidation Rights”), if the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive each holder of such Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares of Preferred Stock into a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such series of Preferred Stock immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization or reclassification, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.

-11-

#####

(h) No Impairment. The Corporation will not through any reorganization, transfer of assets, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of Preferred Stock against impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4(h) shall prohibit the Corporation from amending its Articles of Incorporation with the requisite consent of its shareholders and the board of directors.
(i) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.
(j) Notices of Record Date. In the event that this Corporation shall propose at any time:
(i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
(ii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or
(iii) to voluntarily liquidate or dissolve or to enter into any transaction deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation pursuant to Section 3(f);
then, in connection with each such event, this Corporation shall send to the holders of the Preferred Stock at least 14 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (ii) and (iii) above.
Each such written notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of Preferred Stock at the address for each such holder as shown on the books of this Corporation.
The right of the holders of the Preferred Stock to notice hereunder may be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the holders of more

-12-

#####

than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock voting together as a single class.
(k) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
(l) Waiver of Adjustment of Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock may be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the consent or vote of the holders of more than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of such series. Any such waiver shall bind all future holders of shares of such series of Preferred Stock.
5. Voting.
(a) Restricted Class Voting. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the holders of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock shall vote together and not as separate classes.
(b) No Series Voting. Other than as provided herein or required by law, there shall be no series voting.
(c) Preferred Stock. Each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder could be converted as of the record date. The holders of shares of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters on which the Common Stock shall be entitled to vote. Holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted), shall be disregarded.
(d) Common Stock. Each holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share thereof held.
(e) Election of Directors. So long as at least 2,000,000 shares (as adjusted for Recapitalizations) of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect three (3) members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporation’s shareholders for the election of directors. Any additional members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors shall be elected by the holders of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock,

-13-

#####

voting together as a single class. If a vacancy on the Board of Directors is to be filled by the Board of Directors, only directors elected by the same class or classes of shareholders as those who would be entitled to vote to fill such vacancy shall vote to fill such vacancy.
6. Amendments and Changes Requiring Approval of Preferred Stock. As long as any of the Preferred Stock shall be issued and outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent as provided by law) of the holders of more than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock voting together as a single class:
(a) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of the Corporation if such action would adversely alter the rights, preferences, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof;
(b) enter into any transaction or series of related transactions deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation pursuant to Section 3(f) above.

(e) permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to sell securities to a third party;
(f) increase or decrease (other than for decreases resulting from conversion of the Preferred Stock) the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock;
(g) authorize or create (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of capital stock having rights, preferences or privileges with respect to dividends, liquidation, redemption, conversion or other rights senior to or on a parity with any series of Preferred Stock or with respect to voting senior to any series of Preferred Stock;
(h) increase or decrease the authorized number of directors of the Corporation; or
(i) amend this Section 6.
7. Amendments and Changes Requiring the Approval of the Series C Preferred Stock. As long as any of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be issued and outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent as provided by law) of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock:
(a) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation if such action would adversely alter the rights, preferences, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series C Preferred Stock in a manner different from any other series of Preferred Stock;
(b) increase or decrease (other than for decreases resulting from conversion of the Preferred Stock) the authorized number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock;

-14-

#####

(c) authorize or create (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of capital stock having rights, preferences or privileges with respect to dividends, payments upon liquidation or other rights senior to or on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock or with respect to voting senior to the Series C Preferred Stock;
(d) declare or pay any distribution (as defined in Section 2(c)) with respect to the Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Corporation;
(e) increase the authorized number of directors of the Corporation above nine (9); or
(f) amend this Section 7.
8. Amendments and Changes Requiring the Approval of the Series B Preferred Stock. As long as any of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be issued and outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent as provided by law) of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock:
(a) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation if such action would adversely alter the rights, preferences, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series B Preferred Stock in a manner different from any other series of Preferred Stock;
(b) increase or decrease (other than for decreases resulting from conversion of the Preferred Stock) the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock; or
(c) amend this Section 8.
9. Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Article 4 hereof, then the shares so converted shall be cancelled and shall not be issuable by the Corporation. The Articles of Incorporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the corresponding reduction in the Corporation’s authorized capital stock.
10. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Article IV to be given to the holders of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at such holder’s address appearing on the books of the Corporation.
ARTICLE V
1. Limitation of Directors’ Liability. The liability of the directors of this Corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law.

3. Repeal or Modification. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article V shall not adversely affect any right of indemnification or limitation of liability of an agent of this Corporation relating to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

RESTRICTED ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
(ACCOUNT RESTRICTED AFTER INSTRUCTIONS — Standing Wire Transfers)
This Restricted Account Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of the date specified at the end of this Agreement, is entered into among Fluidigm Corporation (“Company”), Lighthouse Capital Partners V, L.P. (“Secured Party”) and the Wells Fargo Bank identified in the signature block at the end of this Agreement (“Bank”), and sets forth the rights of Secured Party and the obligations of Bank with respect to the deposit account(s) of Company at Bank identified at the end of this Agreement as the “Restricted Account(s)”. As used in this Agreement, the term “Restricted Account” refers, individually and collectively, to each such deposit account.

1. |  | Secured Party’s Interest in Restricted Account. Secured Party represents that it is either (i) a lender who has extended credit to Company and has been granted a security interest in the Restricted Account or (ii) such a lender and the agent for a group of such lenders (the “Lenders”). Company hereby confirms, and Bank hereby acknowledges, the security interest granted by Company to Secured Party in all of Company’s right, title and interest in and to the Restricted Account and all sums now or hereafter on deposit in or payable or withdrawable from the Restricted Account (the “Account Funds”). Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, Company has given Secured Party complete control over the Account Funds. Secured Party hereby appoints Bank as agent for Secured Party only for the purpose of perfecting the security interest of Secured Party in the Account Funds while they are in the Restricted Account. Company and Secured Party would like to use the Restricted Account Service of Bank described in this Agreement (the “Service”) to further the arrangements between Secured Party and Company regarding the Restricted Account and the Account Funds.
2. |  | Access to Restricted Account. Secured Party agrees that Company will be allowed access to the Account Funds until Bank receives written instructions from Secured Party directing that Company no longer have access to any Account Funds (the “Instructions”). Company agrees that the Account Funds should be paid to Secured Party after Bank receives the Instructions, and hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to comply with the Instructions even if Company objects in any way to the Instructions. Company further agrees that after Bank receives the Instructions, Company will not have access to any Account Funds.
3. |  | Balance Reports. Bank agrees, at the telephone request of Secured Party on any Business Day (a day on which Bank is open to conduct its regular banking business, other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday), to make available to Secured Party a report (“Balance Report”) showing the opening available balance in the Restricted Account as of the beginning of such Business Day, either on-line or by facsimile transmission, at Bank’s option. Company expressly consents to this transmission of information. Secured Party and Company understand and agree that the opening available balance in the Restricted Account at the beginning of any Business Day will be determined after deducting from the Restricted Account the face amount of all Returned Items (as defined in Section 8 of this Agreement).
4. |  | Transfers to Secured Party. Bank agrees that on each Business Day after it receives the Instructions it will transfer to the Secured Party’s account specified at the end of this Agreement

Restricted Account Agreement (Revised 09/21/01) |  | Page 1

#####

|  | with the bank specified at the end of this Agreement (the “Secured Party Account”) the full amount of the opening available balance in the Restricted Account at the beginning of such Business Day. Bank will use the Fedwire system to make each funds transfer unless for any reason the Fedwire system is unavailable, in which case Bank will determine the funds transfer system to be used in making each funds transfer and the means by which each transfer will be made. Bank, Secured Party and Company each agree that Bank will comply with instructions given to Bank by Secured Party directing disposition of funds in the Restricted Account without further consent by Company, subject otherwise to the terms of this Agreement and Bank’s standard policies, procedures and documentation in effect from time to time governing the type of disposition requested. Company authorizes all such transfers. Except as otherwise required by law, Bank will not agree with any third party to comply with instructions for disposition of funds in the Restricted Account originated by such third party.
5. |  | Delays in Making Funds Transfers. Secured Party and Company understand that a funds transfer may be delayed or not made if (a) the transfer would cause Bank to exceed any limitation on its intra-day net funds position established in accordance with Federal Reserve or other regulatory guidelines or to violate any other Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program, or (b) the funds transfer would otherwise cause Bank to violate any applicable law or regulation. If a funds transfer cannot be made or will be delayed, Bank will notify Secured Party by telephone.
6. |  | Reliance on Identifying Numbers. If Secured Party indicates a name and an identifying number for the bank of the person or entity to receive funds transfers out of the Restricted Account, Secured Party and Company understand and agree that Bank may rely on the number Secured Party indicates even if that number identifies a bank different from the bank Secured Party named. If Secured Party indicates a name and an account number for the person or entity to receive funds transfers out of the Restricted Account, Secured Party and Company understand and agree that Bank may rely on the account number Secured Party indicates even if that account number is not the account number for the person or entity who is to receive the transfers.
7. |  | Reporting Errors in Transfers. If Secured Party or Company learns of any error in a funds transfer or any unauthorized funds transfer, then the party learning of such error or unauthorized transfer (the “Informed Party”) must notify Bank as soon as possible by telephone at (800) AT- WELLS (which is a recorded line), and provide written confirmation to Bank of such telephonic notice within two Business Days at the address given for Bank on the signature page of this Agreement. In no case may such notice to Bank by an Informed Party be made more than fourteen (14) calendar days after such Informed Party learns of the erroneous or unauthorized transfer. If a funds transfer is made in error and Bank suffers a loss because an Informed Party breached its agreement to notify Bank of such error within the time limits specified in this Section 7, then such Informed Party shall reimburse Bank for the loss promptly upon demand by Bank; provided, however, that in the event both Secured Party and Company breach this notification requirement, Secured Party shall not be obligated to reimburse Bank for the loss unless Company fails to satisfy Bank’s demand for reimbursement within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand is made on Company.
8. |  | Returned Item Amounts. Secured Party and Company understand and agree that the face amount (“Returned Item Amount”) of each Returned Item will be paid by Bank debiting the Restricted Account, without prior notice to Secured Party or Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “Returned Item” means (i) any item deposited to the Restricted Account and returned unpaid, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without regard to the timeliness of such return or the occurrence or timeliness of any drawee’s notice of non-payment; (ii) any item subject to a claim against Bank of breach of transfer or presentment warranty under the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in the applicable state; (iii) any automated clearing house (“ACH”) entry credited to the Restricted Account and returned unpaid

Restricted Account Agreement (Revised 09/21/01) |  | Page 2

#####

|  | or subject to an adjustment entry under applicable clearing house rules, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without regard to the timeliness of such return or adjustment; (iv) any credit to the Restricted Account from a merchant card transaction, against which a contractual demand for chargeback has been made; and (v) any credit to the Restricted Account made in error. Company agrees to pay all Returned Item Amounts immediately on demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent there are not sufficient funds in the Restricted Account to cover the Returned Item Amounts on the day they are to be debited from the Restricted Account. Secured Party agrees to pay all Returned Item Amounts within thirty (30) calendar days after demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent the Returned Item Amounts are not paid in full by Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand on Company by Bank, and to the extent Secured Party received proceeds from the corresponding Returned Items.
9. |  | Bank Fees. Company agrees to pay all Bank’s fees and charges for the maintenance and administration of the Restricted Account and for the treasury management and other account services provided with respect to the Restricted Account (collectively “Bank Fees”), including, but not limited to, the fees for (a) the Balance Reports provided on the Restricted Account, (b) the wire transfer services received with respect to the Restricted Account, (c) Returned Items, (d) funds advanced to cover overdrafts in the Restricted Account (but without Bank being in any way obligated to make any such advances), and (e) duplicate bank statements on the Restricted Account. Before Bank receives the Instructions, the Bank Fees will be paid by Bank debiting the Restricted Account, and after Bank receives the Instructions the Bank fees will be paid by Bank debiting one or more of the demand deposit operating accounts of Company at Bank specified at the end of this Agreement (the “Operating Accounts”). All such debits will be made on the Business Day that the Bank Fees are due without notice to Secured Party or Company. If there are not sufficient funds in the Restricted Account, or after Bank receives the Instructions, the Operating Accounts, to cover fully the Bank Fees on the Business Day they are debited from the Restricted Account or the Operating Accounts, or if no Operating Accounts are indicated at the end of this Agreement, such shortfall or the amount of such Bank Fees will be paid by Company sending Bank a check in the amount of such shortfall or such Bank Fees, without setoff or counterclaim, within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand of Bank. After Bank receives the Instructions, Secured Party agrees to pay the Bank Fees within thirty (30) calendar days after demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent such Bank Fees are not paid in full by Company by check within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand on Company by Bank. Bank may, in its discretion, change the Bank Fees upon thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to Company and Secured Party.
10. |  | Account Documentation. Secured Party and Company agree that, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Restricted Account will be subject to, and Bank’s operation of the Restricted Account will be in accordance with, the terms and provisions of Bank’s deposit account agreement governing the Restricted Account (“Account Agreement”), a copy of which Company and Secured Party acknowledge having received.
11. |  | Bank Statements. After Bank receives the Instructions, Bank will, if so indicated on the signature page of this Agreement, send to Secured Party by United States mail, at the address indicated for Secured Party after its signature to this Agreement, duplicate copies of all bank statements on the Restricted Account which are sent to Company. Company and/or Secured Party will have thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of a bank statement to notify Bank of an error in such statement. Bank’s liability for such errors is limited as provided in the “Limitation of Liability” section of this Agreement.
12. |  | Partial Subordination of Bank’s Rights. Bank hereby subordinates to the security interest of Secured Party in the Restricted Account (i) any security interest which Bank may have or acquire in the Restricted Account, and (ii) any right which Bank may have or acquire to set off or otherwise apply any Account Funds against the payment of any indebtedness from time to time

Restricted Account Agreement (Revised 09/21/01) |  | Page 3

#####

|  | owing to Bank from Company, except for debits to the Restricted Account permitted under this Agreement for the payment of Returned Item Amounts or Bank Fees.
13. |  | Bankruptcy Notice; Effect of Filing. If Bank at any time receives notice of the commencement of a bankruptcy case or other insolvency or liquidation proceeding by or against Company (a “Bankruptcy Notice”), Bank will continue to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that any action required of Bank under this Agreement is prohibited under applicable bankruptcy laws or regulations or is stayed pursuant to the automatic stay imposed under the United States Bankruptcy Code or by order of any court or agency. With respect to any obligation of Secured Party hereunder which requires prior demand upon Company, the commencement of a bankruptcy case or other insolvency or liquidation proceeding by or against Company shall automatically eliminate the necessity of such demand upon Company by Bank, and shall immediately entitle Bank to make demand on Secured Party with the same effect as if demand had been made upon Company and the time for Company’s performance had expired.
14. |  | Legal Process, Legal Notices and Court Orders. Bank will comply with any legal process, legal notice or court order it receives if Bank determines in its sole discretion that the legal process, legal notice or court order is legally binding on it.
15. |  | Indemnification for Following Instructions. Secured Party and Company each agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, except to the extent caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct Bank will not be liable to Secured Party or Company for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims (including, but not limited to, third party claims), demands, obligations, actions, suits, judgments, penalties, costs or expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, (collectively, “Losses and Liabilities”) suffered or incurred by Secured Party or Company as a result of or in connection with, (a) Bank complying with any binding legal process, legal notice or court order referred to in Section 14 of this Agreement, (b) Bank following any instruction or request of Secured Party, or (c) Bank complying with its obligations under this Agreement. Further, Company, and to the extent not paid by Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand, Secured Party, will indemnify Bank against any Losses and Liabilities Bank may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with any of the circumstances referred to in clauses (a) through (c) of the preceding sentence.
16. |  | No Representations or Warranties of Bank. Bank agrees to perform its obligations under this Agreement in a manner consistent with the quality provided when Bank performs similar services for its own account. However, Bank will not be responsible for the errors, acts or omissions of others, such as communications carriers, correspondents or clearinghouses through which Bank may perform its obligations under this Agreement or receive or transmit information in performing its obligations under this Agreement. Secured Party and Company also understand that Bank will not be responsible for any loss, liability or delay caused by wars, failures in communications networks, labor disputes, legal constraints, fires, power surges or failures, earthquakes, civil disturbances or other events beyond Bank’s control. BANK MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.
17. |  | Limitation of Liability. In the event that Secured Party, Company or Bank suffers or incurs any Losses and Liabilities as a result of, or in connection with, its or any other party’s performance or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the affected parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to reach a mutually satisfactory allocation of such Losses and Liabilities, it being understood that Bank will not be responsible for any Losses and Liabilities due to any cause other than its own negligence or breach of this Agreement, in which case its liability to Secured Party and Company shall, unless otherwise provided by any law which cannot be

|  | varied by contract, be limited to direct money damages in an amount not to exceed ten (10) times all the Bank Fees charged or incurred during the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such Losses and Liabilities occurred (or, if no Bank Fees were charged or incurred in the preceding month, the Bank Fees charged or incurred in the month in which the Losses and Liabilities occurred). Company will indemnify Bank against all Losses and Liabilities suffered or incurred by Bank as a result of third party claims; provided, however, that to the extent such Losses and Liabilities are directly caused by Bank’s negligence or breach of this Agreement such indemnity will only apply to those Losses and Liabilities which exceed the liability limitation specified in the preceding sentence. The limitation of Bank’s liability and the indemnification by Company set out above will not be applicable to the extent any Losses and Liabilities of any party to this Agreement are directly caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. IN NO EVENT WILL BANK BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT OR TORT, WHETHER THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES WAS KNOWN TO BANK AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OR ACTION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY CLAIM OR ACTION ALLEGING GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, FAILURE TO EXERCISE REASONABLE CARE OR FAILURE TO ACT IN GOOD FAITH. Any action against Bank by Company or Secured Party under or related to this Agreement must be brought within twelve months after the cause of action accrues.
18. |  | Termination. This Agreement and the Service may be terminated by Secured Party or Bank at any time by either of them giving thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice of such termination to the other two parties to this Agreement at their contact addresses specified after their signatures to this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement and the Service may be terminated immediately upon written notice from Bank to Company and Secured Party should Secured Party fail to make any payment when due to Bank from Secured Party under the terms of this Agreement. Secured Party and Company agree that the Restricted Account may be closed by Bank as provided in the Account Agreement. Company’s and Secured Party’s obligation to report errors in funds transfers and bank statements and to pay the Bank Fees, as well as the indemnifications made, and the limitations on the liability of Bank accepted, by Company and Secured Party under this Agreement will continue after the termination of this Agreement and/or the closure of the Restricted Account with respect to all the circumstances to which they are applicable existing or occurring before such termination or closure, and any liability of any party to this Agreement, as determined under the provisions of this Agreement, with respect to acts or omissions of such party prior to such termination or closure will also survive such termination or closure. Upon any termination of this Agreement and the Service or closure of the Restricted Account all collected and available balances in the Restricted Account on the date of such termination or closure will be transferred to Secured Party as requested by Secured Party in writing to Bank.
19. |  | Modifications, Amendments, and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, or any provision thereof waived, except in a writing signed by all the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Bank Fees may be changed after thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to Company and Secured Party.
20. |  | Notices. All notices from one party to another shall be in writing, or be made by a telecommunications device capable of creating a written record, shall be delivered to Company, Secured Party and/or Bank at their contact addresses specified after their signatures to this Agreement, or any other address of any party notified to the other parties in writing, and shall be effective upon receipt. Any notice sent by one party to this Agreement to another party shall also be sent to the third party to this Agreement. Bank is authorized by Company and Secured Party to act on any instructions or notices received by Bank if (a) such instructions or notices

Restricted Account Agreement (Revised 09/21/01) |  | Page 5

#####

|  | purport to be made in the name of Secured Party, (b) Bank reasonably believes that they are so made, and (c) they do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement as such terms may be amended from time to time, unless such conflicting instructions or notices are supported by a court order.
21. |  | Successors and Assigns. Neither Company nor Secured Party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Bank, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Bank may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that no such consent will be required if the assignee is a bank affiliate of Bank.
22. |  | Governing Law. Company and Secured Party understand that Bank’s provision of the Service under this Agreement is subject to federal laws and regulations. To the extent that such federal laws and regulations are not applicable this Agreement shall be governed by and be construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the office of Bank that maintains the Restricted Account is located, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
23. |  | Severability. To the extent that this Agreement or the Service to be provided under this Agreement are inconsistent with, or prohibited or unenforceable under, any applicable law or regulation, they will be deemed ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability and be deemed modified and applied in a manner consistent with such law or regulation. Any provision of this Agreement which is deemed unenforceable or invalid in any jurisdiction shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the same provision in any other jurisdiction.
24. |  | Usury. It is never the intention of Bank to violate any applicable usury or interest rate laws. Bank does not agree to, or intend to contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve or receive (collectively, “charge or collect”) any amount in the nature of interest or in the nature of a fee, penalty or other charge which would in any way or event cause Bank to charge or collect more than the maximum Bank would be permitted to charge or collect by any applicable federal or state law. Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Agreement, be applied first to reduce the amount owed, if any, and then any excess amounts will be refunded.
25. |  | Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be an original with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
26. |  | Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Account Agreement, contains the entire and only agreement among all the parties to this Agreement and between Bank and Company, and Bank and Secured Party, with respect to (a) the Service, (b) the interest of Secured Party and the Lenders in the Account Funds and the Restricted Account, and (c) Bank’s obligations to Secured Party and the Lenders in connection with the Account Funds and the Restricted Account.

This Agreement has been signed by the duly authorized officers or representatives of Company, Secured Party and Bank on the date specified below.

Re: Notice of Pledge and Security
Gentlemen:
Please be advised that the undersigned, Fluidigm Corporation (“Pledgor”), has pledged a security interest in Account No. [***] (the “Account”) held by Broker, as securities intermediary, and in all of the securities, proceeds, cash or other assets now or hereafter held in the Account (collectively, the “Collateral”), to Lighthouse Capital Partners V, L.P. (“Pledgee”) pursuant to the terms and provisions of a certain Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated March 29, 2005.
Broker, Pledgor and Pledgee, by signing this letter, hereby agree as follows:

Broker is also hereby authorized and agrees to send duplicate copies of any and all statements and confirmations, as well as any other appropriate correspondence, relating to the Account directly to the Pledgee at the address indicated below, or to such other address as Pledgee may designate in writing.

Each Holder agrees that all payments and the proceeds received by Holders on account of the Notes shall be held by them in trust for LCP for the payment of the LCP Obligations, and turned over to LCP in kind upon receipt of notice from LCP that Company has failed to pay LCP any of the LCP Obligations. Holders hereby agree they have no security interest in any property of the Company.

Upon conversion of any Note into capital stock of the Company and acceptance of cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection with any such conversion, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Note and any proceeds received by a Holder in connection with the conversion of such Note.
2. Bankruptcy. (Subject to paragraph (1) above), Each Holder agrees that upon any

#####

distribution of assets or readjustment of indebtedness of Company, whether by liquidation, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or otherwise, LCP shall receive payment in full on the LCP Obligations before Holder receives payment of any amounts due under the Notes and Holders shall pay over to LCP any amounts so received by them related to the Notes until the LCP Obligations are paid in full. In furtherance thereof, each Holder authorizes LCP to make and vote (without LCP being obligated to make or vote) any and all proofs of claim respecting the Notes in any such proceeding and to receive and collect all dividends or other payments thereupon; provided that LCP will pay over to Holders a pro rata distribution of amounts received by it in excess of that necessary for the full and final satisfaction of the LCP Obligations. Holders agree to execute such instruments of assignment and other documents as may be necessary to enforce such claims and collect such dividends or to otherwise carry out the intent and purpose hereof.
3. Representations.

6. Waiver of Jury Trial.

3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price may be paid (i) in cash or by check, (ii) by the surrender by the Holder to the Company of any promissory notes or other obligations issued by the Company, with all such notes and obligations so surrendered being credited against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of surrender, or (iii) 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 Preferred 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 Preferred Stock as is computed using the following formula:
X=Y(A-B)
A

where: X= |  | the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 4.
Y= |  | the number of shares of Preferred 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 Preferred 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 Preferred Stock (or fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) if the Preferred Stock has been automatically converted into 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 Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible.
(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, and the fair market value of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible;

2.

#####

(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 the fair market value of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible; 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 Preferred 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 Preferred Stock, then the Company shall issue the next higher number of full shares of Preferred Stock, issuing a full share with respect to such fractional share.
7. Expiration Date; Automatic Exercise. This Warrant shall expire at the close of business on February 15, 2015, and shall be void thereafter (the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the term of this Warrant fixed pursuant to this Section 7, and provided Holder has received advance written notice of at least twenty (20) days and has not earlier exercised this Warrant, and provided this Warrant has not been assumed by the successor entity (or parent thereof), upon the consummation of a Merger (as defined below), this Warrant shall automatically be exercised pursuant to Section 4 hereof, without any action by Holder. “Merger” means: (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an Unaffiliated Entity (as defined below), or (ii) the merger, consolidation or acquisition of the Company with, into or by an Unaffiliated Entity (other than a merger or consolidation for the principle purpose of changing the domicile of the Company or a bona fide round of preferred stock equity financing), that results in the Company’s shareholders immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or acquisition holding, immediately thereafter, less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the successor corporation or its parent. “Unaffiliated Entity” means any entity that is owned or controlled by parties who own less than twenty percent (20%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such merger or sale of assets, consolidation or acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any outstanding warrants to purchase equity securities of the Company (it being acknowledged and agreed that options to acquire common stock issued to officers, directors, employees and consultants shall not be deemed “warrants”) are assumed by the successor entity of a Merger (or parent thereof), this Warrant shall also be similarly assumed and the automatic exercise provision in this Section 7 shall have no effect. The Company agrees to give the Holder written notice promptly after it has entered into a definitive agreement relating to any proposed Merger and written notice of termination of any definitive agreement relating to any proposed Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, (i) the Holder may expressly make any voluntary exercise of this Warrant contingent on, and effective immediately prior to, the consummation of such Merger and (ii) any automatic exercise of this Warrant in connection with a Merger shall be conditioned on consummation of such Merger and shall be effective immediately prior thereto.
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 Preferred Stock and Common Stock free from all preemptive or similar rights therein, as will be sufficient to permit, respectively, the exercise of this Warrant in full and the conversion into shares of Common Stock of all shares of Preferred Stock receivable upon such exercise. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to such exercise and/or conversion will, upon issuance, 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 Preferred Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine the Preferred Stock, or issue additional shares of Preferred Stock in payment of a stock dividend on the Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable on the exercise

3.

#####

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. Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The antidilution rights applicable to the Series E Preferred 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 has been made available to Holder. Such rights shall not be restated, amended or modified in any manner which affects the Holder differently than the holders of outstanding Series E Preferred Stock without such Holder’s prior written consent. The Company shall provide the Holder hereof with any restatement, amendment or modification to the Articles promptly after the same has been made.
11. Mergers and Reclassifications. (a) Except as set forth in Section 7, If after the date hereof the Company shall enter into any Reorganization (as hereinafter defined), then, as a condition of such Reorganization, lawful provisions shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase, at a total price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant in full, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such Reorganization by a holder of the number of shares of Preferred Stock which might have been purchased by the Holder immediately prior to such Reorganization, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including without limitation, provisions for the adjustment of the Purchase Price and the number of shares issuable hereunder and the provisions relating to the net issue election) shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock or other securities and property thereafter deliverable upon exercise hereof. For the purposes of this Section 11, the term “Reorganization” shall include without limitation any reclassification, capital reorganization or change of the Preferred Stock (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 9 hereof), or any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation or other business organization (other than a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Preferred Stock), or any sale or conveyance to another corporation or other business organization of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, in the event of an automatic conversion of the Company’s outstanding Series E Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the Company’s Articles, as in effect from time to time, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire for the aggregate Purchase Price (as then in effect) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant would have then been convertible.
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 (or other appropriate 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;

4.

#####

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 twenty (20) business days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken.
