FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Sparhawk
Laboratories, Inc., a Missouri corporation (the “
Company ”), hereby grants to Chemdex, Inc., a Kansas

is also referred to herein as the “ Holder ”),
the right to purchase from the Company sixty-nine (69) units of the
Warrant Equity, subject to adjustment as provided below, at a price
per unit of $1.00 (as adjusted from time to time hereunder, the
“ Exercise Price ”). This Warrant and
Repurchase Agreement (the “ Warrant ”) is issued
pursuant to an Investor Representation Letter, dated as of
March 4, 2004 (the “ Purchase Agreement ”),
between the Company and the Purchaser.
The amount and kind of securities
obtainable pursuant to the rights granted hereunder and the
purchase price for such securities are subject to adjustment
pursuant to the provisions contained in this Warrant.
This Warrant is subject to the
following provisions:
Section 1.
Exercise of Warrant.
1A.
Exercise Period; Expiration Date .
(i)
The Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant at any time and from time to time
beginning on the day after the fifth anniversary of the Date of
Issuance (unless the Warrant expires prior to such date as provided
in Section 1A(ii) hereof) to and including (if later) the
Expiration Date (the “Exercise Period”). If the
Warrant has not expired prior to the day after the fifth
anniversary of the Date of Issuance, then thereafter the Company
shall give the Holder written notice of the expiration of the
Exercise Period at least 30 days but not more than 90 days prior to
the end of the Exercise Period.
(ii)
This Warrant shall expire on the earlier of (i) the tenth
anniversary of the Date of Issuance or (ii) the date on which
all principal, interest, premiums (if any) and other amounts due in
respect of the Unsecured Subordinated Note have been paid in full
(the “ Expiration Date ”), even if the
Expiration Date precedes the start of the Exercise
Period.
1B.
Exercise Procedure .
(i)
This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised when the
Company has received all of the following items (the “
Exercise Time ”):
(a)
a completed Exercise Agreement, as described in
Section 1C below, executed by the Holder exercising all
or part of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant;
(b)
this Warrant; and
(c)
a check payable to the Company in an amount equal to the product of
the Exercise Price multiplied by the amount of Warrant Equity being
purchased upon such exercise.
(ii)
Certificates for units of Warrant Equity purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be delivered by the Company to the Holder within
5 Business Days after the date of the Exercise Time. Unless
this Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights represented
hereby have been exercised, the Company shall prepare a new
Warrant, substantially identical hereto, representing the rights
formerly represented by this Warrant which have not expired or been
exercised and shall, within such 5-Business Day period, deliver
such new Warrant to the Holder.
(iii)
The Warrant Equity issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be deemed to have been issued to the Holder at the Exercise Time,
and the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the
record holder of such Warrant Equity at the Exercise
Time.
(iv)
The issuance of certificates for Warrant Equity upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any
issuance Tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the
Company in connection with such exercise and the related issuance
of Warrant Equity. Each unit of Warrant Equity issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall, upon payment of the Exercise Price
therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all Taxes
and Liens.
(v)
The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of this
Warrant or of any amount of Underlying Warrant Equity in any manner
which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant. If
applicable, the Company shall from time to time take all such
action as may be necessary to assure that the par value per unit of
the unissued Warrant Equity acquirable upon exercise of this
Warrant is at all times equal to or less than the sum of the
Exercise Price then in effect and the per unit price paid for this
Warrant.
(vi)
The Company shall assist and cooperate with any Holder required to
make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approvals
prior to or in connection with any exercise of this Warrant
(including, without limitation, making any filings required to be
made by the Company).
(vii)
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any
portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a sale of
the Company, the exercise of any portion of this Warrant may, at
the election of the holder hereof, be conditioned upon the sale
of
2
the Company, in which case such exercise shall
not be deemed to be effective until the consummation of such
transaction.
(viii)
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its authorized but unissued units of Warrant Equity solely for the
purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, such amount
of Warrant Equity issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to
assure that all such units of Warrant Equity may be so issued
without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation
or any requirements of any securities exchange upon which units of
Warrant Equity may be listed (except for official notice of
issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon
each issuance). The Company shall not take any action which
would cause the amount of authorized but unissued unites of Warrant
Equity to be less than the amount of such units required to be
reserved hereunder for issuance upon exercise of this
Warrant.
1C.
Exercise Agreement . Upon any exercise of this
Warrant, the Exercise Agreement shall be substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit I hereto. Such Exercise Agreement
shall be dated the actual date of execution thereof.
1D.
Effect of Exercise . Upon exercise of this Warrant,
the Company shall stamp “EXERCISED” on the face of this
Warrant and return the original Warrant to the Holder, it being
understood that all of the Holders’ and the Company’s
rights and obligations under this Warrant shall survive the
exercise hereof.
Section 2.
Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Units.
In order to prevent dilution
of the rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section, and the amount of Warrant Equity obtainable upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
provided in this Section.
2A.
Adjustment of Exercise Price and Amount of Warrant Equity
.
(i)
The initial Exercise Price shall be $1.00 per unit of Warrant
Equity.
(ii)
If and whenever on or after the Date of Issuance, the Company
issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section is deemed
to have issued or sold, any units of Warrant Equity for a
consideration per unit less than $1,800 (as such amount is
proportionately adjusted for splits, combinations, distributions
and recapitalizations affecting the Warrant Equity after the
original date of issuance of this Warrant, the “ Base
Price ”), then immediately upon such issue or sale the
Exercise Price shall be reduced to the Exercise Price determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale) by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the amount of Warrant
Equity Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale
(or deemed issue or sale) multiplied by the Base Price as of the
date of such issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale), plus (2) the
consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issue and
sale (or deemed issue or sale), and the denominator of which shall
be the product derived by multiplying the Base Price
3
by the amount of Warrant Equity Deemed
Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale (or deemed issue
or sale).
(iii)
Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the
amount of Warrant Equity acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be adjusted to the amount of Warrant Equity determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment by the amount of Warrant Equity acquirable upon exercise
of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing
the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment.
(iv)
No adjustment under this Section 2 shall be made in
connection with the issuance of (i) up to 166 units of Warrant
Equity to officers, directors or employees of the Company pursuant
to equity incentive plans, (ii) any issuance of Warrant Equity
pursuant to the terms of the warrants issued to C3 pursuant to the
Senior Loan Agreement, (iii) any issuance of Warrant Equity
pursuant to the terms of the warrants issued to Walco pursuant to
the Junior Loan Agreement, (iv) any issuance of Warrant Equity
pursuant to this Warrant, and (v) any issuance of Equity Interests
pursuant to the exercise of preemptive rights granted to Messrs.
John U. Bascom and E. Bert Hughes in Section 11 of the
Shareholders Agreement; provided, that, the exclusion in this part
(v) shall not be deemed to include the proposed issuance of Equity
Interests by the Company to which such preemptive rights become
exercisable.
2B.
Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events . For
purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price and amount of
Warrant Equity acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant under this
Section, the following shall be applicable:
(i)
Issuance of Rights or Options . If the Company in any
manner grants or sells any Options and the price per unit for which
Warrant Equity is issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or
upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable
upon exercise of such Options, is less than the Base Price
determined immediately prior to such granting or sale, then
immediately upon such issue or sale in effect immediately prior to
the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total
maximum amount of Warrant Equity issuable upon the exercise of such
Options, or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount
of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such
Options, shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued
and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such
Option for such price per unit. For purposes of this
paragraph, the “ price per unit for which Warrant Equity
is issuable upon exercise of such Options, or upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities ” is determined
by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by
the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such
Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such
Options, plus in the case of such Options which relate to
Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or
sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange
thereof, by (B) the total maximum amount of Warrant Equity issuable
upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the
exercise of such Options. No adjustment under this
Section shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Warrant
Equity or of such Convertible Securities upon the
4
exercise of such Options or upon the actual
issuance of such Warrant Equity upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
(ii)
Issuance of Convertible Securities . If the Company in
any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the price
per unit for which Warrant Equity is issuable upon conversion or
exchange thereof is less than the Base Price determined immediately
prior to such issuance or sale, then the maximum amount of Warrant
Equity issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale
of such Convertible Securities for such price per unit. For
the purposes of this paragraph, the “ price per unit for
which Warrant Equity is issuable upon conversion or exchange
thereof ” is determined by dividing (A) the total amount
received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the
issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to
the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the
total maximum amount of Warrant Equity issuable upon the conversion
or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No adjustment
under this Section shall be made upon the actual issuance of
such Warrant Equity upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible
Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which
adjustments of the Exercise Price had been or are to be made
pursuant to other provisions of this Section, no further adjustment
of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or
sale.
(iii)
Change in Option Price or Warrant Rate . If the
purchase price provided for in any Option, the additional
consideration (if any) payable upon the issuance, conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Security, or the rate at which any
Convertible Security is convertible into or exchangeable for
Warrant Equity changes at any time, the Exercise Price in effect at
the time of such change shall be adjusted immediately to the
Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had
such Option or Convertible Security originally provided for such
changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed
conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted,
issued or sold and the amount of Warrant Equity shall be
correspondingly adjusted; provided , that if such adjustment
of the Exercise Price would result in an increase in the Exercise
Price then in effect, such adjustment shall not be effective until
30 days after written notice thereof has been given to all
Holders. For purposes of this Section, if the terms of any
Option or Convertible Security which was outstanding as of the Date
of Issuance are changed in the manner described in the immediately
preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and
the Warrant Equity deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date
of such change; provided , that no such change shall at any
time cause the Exercise Price to be increased.
(iv)
Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible
Securities . Upon the expiration of any Option or the
termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible
Securities without the exercise of such Option or right, the
Exercise Price then in effect and the amount of Warrant Equity
acquirable hereunder shall be adjusted immediately to the Exercise
Price which would have been in effect at the time of such
expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible
Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such
expiration or termination, never been issued; provided ,
that if such expiration or termination would result in an increase
in the Exercise Price then in effect, such increase shall not
be
5
effective until 30 days after written notice
thereof has been given to all Holders. For purposes of
this Section, the expiration or termination of any Option or
Convertible Security which was outstanding as of the date of
issuance of this Warrant shall not cause the Exercise Price
hereunder to be adjusted unless, and only to the extent that, a
change in the terms of such Option or Convertible Security caused
it to be deemed to have been issued after the date of issuance of
this Warrant.
(v)
Calculation of Consideration Received . If any Warrant
Equity, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or
deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration
received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by
the Company therefor. In case any Warrant Equity, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other
than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received
by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration,
except where such consideration consists of securities, in which
case the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be
the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case
any Warrant Equity, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to
the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any
merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of
consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such
portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity
as is attributable to such Warrant Equity, Options or Convertible
Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any
consideration other than cash and securities shall be determined
jointly by the Company and the Majority Warrant Holders. If
such parties are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable
period of time, such fair value shall be determined by an appraiser
jointly selected by the Company and the Majority Warrant
Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final
and binding upon the parties, and the fees and expenses of such
appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(vi)
Integrated Transactions . In case any Option or
Convertible Security is issued in connection with the issue or sale
of other Equity Interests of the Company, together comprising one
integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options or Convertible Securities by the parties
thereto, the Options and Convertible Securities shall be deemed to
have been issued without consideration.
(vii)
Treasury Units . The amount of Warrant Equity
outstanding at any given time does not include units owned or held
by or for the account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
and the disposition of any units so owned or held shall be
considered an issue or sale of Warrant Equity.
(viii)
Record Date . If the Company takes a record of the
holders of Warrant Equity for the purpose of entitling them (A) to
receive a Dividend payable in Warrant Equity, Options or in
Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Warrant
Equity, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date
shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the units
of Warrant Equity deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such Dividend or the making thereof or the date of
the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case
may be.
