Exercise Period ”), up to an amount or number of the
securities, which shall be identical with respect to terms, rights
and types of securities as those, (“ Warrant
Securities ”) offered in the first Qualified Financing
(as hereinafter defined) consummated by the Company following the
date hereof equal to $________ (determined based on the offering
price in such Qualified Financing) at a price per security equal to
the product of (A) and (B), where (A) equals the offering price per
security in the next Qualified Financing consummated by the Company
and where (B) equals 0.90; provided, however , that upon the
occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 6 or 7 hereof,
the rights granted by this Warrant, including the exercise price
and the securities to be received upon such exercise, shall be
adjusted as therein specified. The term “
Exercise Price ” shall mean, depending on the context,
the initial exercise price (as set forth above) or the adjusted
exercise price per share. The term “ Qualified
Financing ” shall mean one or more financing, whether in
the form of equity securities, Indebtedness, derivative securities,
or otherwise, the aggregate gross proceeds of which equal or exceed
$5,000,000. In the event that no Qualified Financing
shall be consummated by the Company prior to the expiration of the
Exercise Period, this Warrant shall be exercisable for up to
_________ shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
“ Common Stock ”) at an exercise price of $0.50
per share (subject to the aforementioned adjustments specified
herein).
This Warrant is the warrant or one of the
warrants (collectively, including any warrant issued upon the
exercise or transfer of any such warrants in whole or in part, the
“ Warrants ”) referenced in the Secured
Promissory Note, dated January 15, 2009, by the Company in favor of
the Holders named therein. As used herein, the term
“ this Warrant ” shall mean and include this
Warrant and any Warrant or Warrants hereafter issued as a
consequence of the exercise or transfer of this Warrant in whole or
in part. Each Warrant Security or share of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise hereof shall be hereinafter referred to
as a “ Warrant Share ”.
1.
(a) This
Warrant may be exercised during the Exercise Period, either in
whole or in part, by delivery to the Company at its office at,
OncoVista Innovative Therapies, Inc., 14785 Omicron Drive, Suite
104, San Antonio, Texas 78245, or at such other place as is
designated in writing by the Company, of:
(ii) a
completed Election to Purchase (for cash), in the form set forth in
Exhibit I, executed by the Holder exercising all or part of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant; and
(iii) (A)
a certified or bank cashier's check payable to the order of the
Company, or (B) a wire transfer of funds to an account designated
by the Company, in an amount equal to the product of the Exercise
Price and the number of Shares for which this Warrant is being
exercised.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole
discretion, exercise this Warrant by delivery to the Company at
this offices at the address above, in lieu of making a cash payment
that would otherwise be payable in connection with such exercise
(as “ Cashless Exercise ”), of:
(ii) a
completed Election to Purchase (cashless), in the form set forth in
Exhibit II, executed by the Holder exercising all or part of the
exchange rights represented by this Warrant.
Upon
presentation and delivery in connection with a Cashless Exercise,
the number Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant shall be reduced
by the number of Warrant Shares specified on the Election to
Purchase (cashless) form, and in exchange for such reduction the
Holder shall receive the number of Warrant Shares, as the case may
be, specified on the Election to Purchase (cashless) form (up to
the total number of Warrant Shares which are subject to this
Warrant) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the excess of the then Current Market Price (as defined below) per
Warrant Share over the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which
shall be the then Current Market Price per Warrant
Share.
2.
Upon each exercise of the Holder’s rights to purchase
Warrant Shares, the Holder or its designee shall be deemed to be
the holder of record of the Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that
the transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares with respect to which
this Warrant was exercised shall not then have been actually
delivered to the Holder or its designee. As soon as
practicable after each such exercise of this Warrant (but not later
than three (3) business days following delivery to the Company of
the Election to Purchase and other deliverable pursuant to Section
1(a) or 1(b), as applicable) the Company shall issue and deliver to
the Holder or its designee a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,
registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. The
certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be
requested by the Holder. If this Warrant should be
exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this
Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a Warrant evidencing
the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the aggregate
number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this
Warrant has not been exercised or assigned.
3.
Any Warrants issued upon the transfer or exercise in part of
this Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a warrant
register (the “ Warrant Register ”) as they are
issued. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered
holder of any Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact
thereof for all purposes, and shall not be bound to recognize any
equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Warrant on the
part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any
registration of transfer of Warrants which are registered or to be
registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary
unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee
is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration or
transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts that its
participation therein amounts to bad faith. This Warrant
shall be transferable on the books of the Company only upon
delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by his duly
authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper
evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to
transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney,
executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative,
duly authenticated evidence of his, her, or its authority shall be
produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company
shall deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled
thereto. This Warrant may be exchanged, at the option of
the Holder thereof, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of
different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the
aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Warrant Shares (or
portions thereof), upon surrender to the Company or its duly
authorized agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall have no obligation to cause Warrants to be
transferred on its books to any person if, in the opinion of
counsel to the Company, such transfer does not comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder.
4.
(a) The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized, but unissued, securities issued in the next Qualified
Financing or shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
providing for the exercise of the Warrants, such number of Warrant
Securities and/or shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to
time, be sufficient therefor. The Company represents
that all Warrant Securities and/or shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant are duly authorized and, upon receipt
by the Company of the full payment for such Warrant Shares, will be
validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charge in respect of the issue thereof (other than
taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with
such issue), without any personal liability attaching to the
ownership thereof and will not be issued in violation of any
preemptive or similar rights of stockholders. The
Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall
constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the
duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the
necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will
take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that
such Warrant Share may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the trading market upon which the Warrant
Securities or Common Stock may be listed.
(b) The
transfer agent for the Warrant Securities and the Common Stock and
every subsequent transfer agent for any of the Company’s
securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such
number of authorized securities as shall be required for such
purpose. The Company shall keep a copy of this Warrant
on file with the transfer agent for the Warrant Securities or the
Common Stock and with every subsequent transfer agent for shares of
the Company’s securities issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant. The Company shall supply such transfer agent
with duly executed certificates representing the Warrant Securities
and the Common Stock or other securities for such
purpose.
(c) The
Company shall not by any action including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issues or sale of securities or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance of performance of any
of the terms of this Warrant; but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of
all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of the Holder against impairment. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not
increase the par value of any shares of Warrant Securities or
Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to
such increase in par value, and (b) take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Securities or
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. The
Company will (i) obtain and keep effective all permits, consents
and approvals of Federal or state governmental agencies and
authorities and make all filings under Federal and state securities
laws, that are required in connection with the issuance and
delivery of this Warrant, the exercise of this Warrant, and the
issuance and delivery of the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of
this Warrant, and (ii) is the Company hereafter lists its Common
Stock on any national securities, including NASDAQ, use its
commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Warrant Shares
authorized for listing on such exchange upon notice of
issuance.
6.
(a) The
Exercise Price for the Warrants in effect from time to time, and
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants, shall be subject to adjustment, as follows:
In the event that the Company shall at any time
after the date hereof (A) declare a dividend or otherwise make a
distribution or distributions on the outstanding Warrant Securities
(following the initial consummation of the Qualified Financing),
Common Stock or other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of its capital stock, (B) subdivide the
outstanding Warrant Securities (following the initial consummation
of the Qualified Financing) or Common Stock, (C) combine the
outstanding (following the initial consummation of the Qualified
Financing) Common Stock into a smaller number of securities or
shares (as applicable), or (D) issue any shares of its capital
stock by reclassification of the outstanding Warrant Securities or
Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection
with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
continuing corporation), then, in each case, the Exercise Price per
Warrant Share in effect at the time of the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision,
combination, or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall
equal the price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of
Warrant Securities or Common Stock outstanding (as applicable)
immediately prior to such action, and the denominator of which
shall be the number of Warrant Securities or shares of Common Stock
(as applicable) outstanding after giving effect to such
action. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever any event listed above shall occur and shall become
effective at the close of business on such record date or at the
close of business on the date immediately preceding such effective
date, as applicable. Simultaneous with any such
adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be adjusted to equal the quotient of (A) divided
by (B), where (A) equals the product of the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior
thereto multiplied by the Exercise Price per Warrant Share in
effect immediately prior thereto, and where (B) equals the Exercise
Price, as adjusted.
(b) The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant
Securities or shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the
Company upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any
fraction of a share of capital stock would be issuable on the
exercise of this Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the
Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to
the same fraction of the Current Market Price of such Warrant
Securities or share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of this
Warrant. For purposes of this Warrant, the “
Current Market Price ” per Warrant Security or share
of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the closing price
per Warrant Security or share of Common Stock on the trading day
