WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON
STOCK
of
RAPTOR PHARMACEUTICALS CORP.,
a Delaware corporation
Void after the date set forth in the
first paragraph hereof
This certifies that, for value
received, ______________, or registered assigns (“
Holder ”) is entitled, subject to the terms set forth
below, to purchase from Raptor Pharmaceuticals Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the “ Company ”), ______ shares of
Common Stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company (such class of
stock being referred to herein as “ Common Stock
”), as constituted on August 21, 2009 (the “Issue
Date”), upon surrender of this Warrant, at the principal
office of the Company referred to below, with the subscription form
attached hereto duly executed, and simultaneous payment therefor in
the form of consideration specified in Section 1 hereof, at
the price of $0.35 per share (the “ Purchase Price
”). This Warrant is one of a series of warrants being issued
pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated August 21, 2009, by and among the Company and the
original Holder of this Warrant and the other parties named therein
(the “ Purchase Agreement ”). This Warrant must
be exercised, if at all, prior to the earliest to occur of
(i) the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date and (ii) the
date of consummation of the acquisition of the Company (including,
without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation)
that results in the stockholders
LEGAL_US_W # 62513784.1
of the Company immediately prior to
such consummation date owning less than 50% of the voting power of
the surviving entity or the date of consummation of the sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the date of
dissolution or liquidation of the Company (each a “ Change
of Control Transaction ”). Together, clause (i) and
clause (ii) herein are referred to hereafter as the
“Expiration Events.” The shares of Common Stock issued
or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are sometimes referred to
as the “ Warrant Shares .” The term “
Warrants ” as used herein shall include this Warrant
and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as
provided herein.
1.
Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised at any time or from
time to time, on any business day, for all or part of the full
number of Warrant Shares during the period of time described in the
preceding paragraph, by surrendering it at the principal office of
the Company, 9 Commercial Boulevard, Suite 200, Novato,
California 94949, with the subscription form in the form
attached hereto duly executed, together with payment for the
Warrant Shares to be purchased, payable (a) in cash,
cashier’s check and/or wire transfer of immediately available
funds or (b) as set forth in Section 9 hereof. No other form of
consideration shall be acceptable for the exercise of this Warrant.
A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior
to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise
together with delivery of payment therefor as provided above, and
the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder of such shares as of the close of business on such date. As
soon as practicable on or after such date, and in any event within
10 days thereof, the Company shall issue and deliver to the
person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise. Upon any partial exercise, the Company will issue
and deliver to Holder a new Warrant with respect to the Warrant
Shares not previously purchased. No fractional shares of Common
Stock shall be issued upon exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of any
fractional share to which Holder would be entitled upon exercise,
the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction
multiplied by the then current fair market value of one share of
Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Company (the
“ Common Stock Value ”).
2.
Payment of Taxes . All shares of Common Stock issued upon
the exercise of a Warrant shall be duly authorized, validly issued
and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable. Holder shall pay
all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in
respect of the issue or delivery thereof and any tax or other
charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the
issue of any certificate for shares of Common Stock in any name
other than that of the registered Holder of this Warrant
surrendered in connection with the purchase of such shares, and in
such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
stock certificate until such tax or other charge has been paid or
it has been established to the Company’s satisfaction that no
tax or other charge is due.
3.
Transfer and Exchange . Subject to the restrictions set
forth in Section 8.1, this Warrant and all rights hereunder
are transferable, in whole but not in part, only with the prior
approval of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If such a proposed transfer is so approved, this Warrant
is transferable on the books of the Company maintained for such
purpose at its principal office referred to above by Holder in
person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this
Warrant properly endorsed and upon payment of any necessary
transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such
transfer. Each taker and holder of
LEGAL_US_W # 62513784.1
this Warrant, by taking or holding
the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in
blank, shall be deemed negotiable and that when this Warrant shall
have been so endorsed, the Holder hereof may be treated by the
Company and all other persons dealing with this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to
exercise the rights represented hereby or to the transfer hereof on
the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary
notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Company
may treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner for all
purposes.
4.1
Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger . Other
than in any case a Change of Control Transaction, in case of any
reclassification of the Common Stock, or other securities issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant, or in case of any reorganization of
the Company (or, in each case, any other corporation, the stock or
other securities of which are at the time receivable on the
exercise of this Warrant) after the Issue Date, or in case, after
such date, the Company (or any such other corporation) shall
consolidate with or merge into another corporation, then and in
each such case Holder, upon the exercise hereof as provided in
Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such
reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall be
entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or
other securities or property to which such Holder would have been
entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this
Warrant immediately prior thereto.
4.2
Adjustments for Dividends in Common Stock . If the Company
at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date makes, or
fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive, a dividend payable in additional shares
of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase Price
then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance
or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of
business on such record date, by multiplying the Purchase Price
then in effect by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the
total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of
business on such record date, and (2) the denominator of which
shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the
close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend; provided,
however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not
fully paid on the date fixed therefor, the Purchase Price shall be
recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record
date and thereafter the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant
to this Section 4.2 as of the time of actual payment of such
dividends.
4.3
Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split . If the Company at any
time or from time to time after the Issue Date effects a
subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Purchase Price
then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be
proportionately decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock
theretofore receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately increased. If the Company at any time or from time
to time after the Issue Date combines the outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price
then in effect immediately before that combination shall be
proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock
theretofore receivable
LEGAL_US_W # 62513784.1
upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be proportionately decreased. Each adjustment under this
Section 4.3 shall become effective at the close of business on
the date the subdivision or combination becomes
effective.
4.4
Accountants’ Certificate as to Adjustment . In each
case of an adjustment in the Purchase Price or shares of Common
Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at
its expense shall cause independent public accountants of
recognized standing selected by the Company (who may be the
independent public accountants then auditing the books of the
Company) to compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such
ad
