Warrant to Purchase Common Stock

of

ARENA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

THIS CERTIFIES that              (including any permitted transferee or assignee of this Warrant under the terms hereof, “Holder”) has the right to purchase from ARENA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”),             (            ) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as provided herein (such shares of Common Stock, together with the stock and other securities and property at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the “ Warrant Shares ”), at a price equal to the Exercise Price as defined in Section 3 below, at any time during the Term (as defined below).

Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of the Company (this “Warrant” or this “Agreement”) is issued, and all rights hereunder shall be held, subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.

1. Date of Issuance and Term .

This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on             , 20    (“Date of Issuance”). The term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 17, 2013 (the “Term”). This Warrant was issued in conjunction with that certain Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) by and between the Company and Deerfield Private Design Fund, L.P., Deerfield Private Design International, L.P., Deerfield Partners, L.P., Deerfield International Limited, Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. and Deerfield Special Situations Fund International Limited (collectively, the Initial Investors”), each dated June 17, 2009, entered into in conjunction herewith.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder shall not acquire, shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, to the extent that, upon such issuance or acquisition, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of convertible securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the

 

1


right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.98% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “9.98% Cap”), provided, however, that the 9.98% Cap shall not apply with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise (as defined below) in connection with a Major Transaction (as defined below) covered by the provisions of Section 5(c)(i)(A) below in which the Company is not the surviving entity (a “Qualified Change of Control Transaction”) to the extent that the number of shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates in the Successor Entity immediately following consummation of such Qualified Change of Control Transaction does not exceed 9.98% of any class of equity securities of the Successor Entity. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the SEC. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days, confirm in writing to the Holder (which writing may be via email) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. For purposes of this paragraph, it is understood that the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Initial Investor shall be aggregated with each other Initial Investor for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

“Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to a Holder of Warrants, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Holder will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Holder.

2. Exercise .

(a) Manner of Exercise . During the Term, this Warrant may be Exercised as to all or any lesser number of whole Warrant Shares upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Form”) duly completed and executed, together with the full Exercise Price (as defined below) for each Warrant Share as to which this Warrant is Exercised, at the office of the Company, Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 6166 Nancy Ridge Drive, San Diego, California 92121; Phone: (858) 453-7200, Fax: (858) 677-0065, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an advance copy of the Exercise Form sent to the Company and its transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) by facsimile (such surrender and payment of the Exercise Price hereinafter called the “Exercise” of this Warrant).

(b) Date of Exercise . The “Date of Exercise” of the Warrant shall be defined as the Trading Day that the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A , completed and executed, is sent by facsimile to, and received during regular business hours by, the Company, provided that (i) the original Warrant and Exercise Form are received by the Company within two (2) Trading Days and (ii) in the event of a Cash Exercise, the Exercise Price is satisfied on the next Trading Day. In all other cases, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as the Trading Day on which the original Warrant and Exercise Form are received by the Company and, in the event of a Cash Exercise, the Exercise Price is satisfied. Upon the Date of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been Exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be; provided, however, that in the event of a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Qualified Change of Control Transaction, the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control Transaction.

(c) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Exercise . Within three (3) Trading Days after any Date of Exercise (or if the Holder requests the issuance of physical certificate(s) rather than through DTC credit, within two (2) Trading Days after receipt by the Company of the original Warrant), or in the case of a Cashless Major Exercise (as defined in Section 5(c) below), within the period provided in Section 5(c)(iv), as applicable (the “Delivery Period”), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its Transfer Agent to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof to or upon the order of the Holder that number of Exercise Shares or Cashless Major Shares (as defined below), as applicable, for the portion of this Warrant Exercised, as shall be determined in accordance herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all commercially

 

2


reasonable actions, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, to assure that the Transfer Agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations, each as specified in the Exercise Form, representing the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such Exercise (“Exercise Shares”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any certificate for Exercise Shares in any name other than that of the original registered holder of this Warrant, 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.

(d) Delivery Failure . In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise Shares by the end of the Delivery Period (a “Delivery Failure”), the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Exercise Form by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company not later than three (3) Trading Days after the end of the Delivery Period, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, including without limitation the return of the Warrant to the Holder and the return of certificates representing Exercise Shares to the Company.

(e) Legends.

(i) Restrictive Legend . The Holder understands that this Warrant shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the form set forth on the first page of this Warrant (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such securities). The Holder further understands that until such time as the Exercise Shares have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Exercise Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PURSUANT TO RULES 144 OR 144A UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4(1) AND A HALF” SALE”, SUBJECT TO DELIVERY OF AN OPINION, AS PROVIDED IN THE WARRANT, DATED AS OF             , 20    , ISSUED BY THE COMPANY.

“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JUNE 17, 2009, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends . The certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Exercise Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Exercise Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). If the Unrestricted Conditions are satisfied, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the

 

3


Unrestricted Conditions are satisfied, if required and to the extent permitted by the Transfer Agent, to effect the issuance of the Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. The Company agrees that, following the Effective Date, at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, no later than five (5) Trading Days following the delivery (the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the Holder to the Company of a certificate representing Exercise Shares containing a restrictive legend (such fifth Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the Registration Statement that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC.

(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares . Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from any certificates representing securities as set forth in Section 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Exercise Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

(f) Cancellation of Warrant . This Warrant shall be canceled upon (i) expiration at the end of the Term, (ii) the full Exercise of this Warrant (including any Cashless Major Exercise) or (iii) full redemption of this Warrant (including any Early Termination Upon Major Transaction). If this Warrant is not Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant. In the event of a Major Transaction (as defined below) in which all shares of Common Stock are cancelled and/or converted or exchanged into the right to receive cash and/or securities of Another Entity (as defined below), then, any portion of this Warrant that is neither (a) redeemed pursuant to an Early Termination Upon Major Transaction, (b) assumed pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii) below or (c) Exercised (including any Cashless Major Exercise) pursuant to the terms of this Warrant prior to the closing of such Major Transaction, shall (A) automatically and immediately be deemed to have been exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction if the aggregate consideration to be received with respect to the Warrant Shares in such Major Transaction is greater than the aggregate Exercise Price for such shares, or (B) be cancelled and terminated without further action by the Holder or the Company upon consummation of such Major Transaction if the aggregate consideration to be received with respect to the Warrant Shares in the Major Transaction is less than the aggregate Exercise Price for such shares.

(g) Delivery of Electronic Shares . In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Exercise Shares or shares of Common Stock submitted for legend removal, provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit such securities by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by delivery of physical certificates.

(h) Buy-In . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates, or electronic shares through DWAC, representing Exercise Shares on or before the end of the applicable Delivery Period (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Company hereunder), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with such Exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount (the “Sales Price”) obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the Exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which such Exercise was not timely honored or deliver to the Holder the Exercise Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its

 

4


Exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted Exercise to cover the sale of Common Stock with an aggregate Sales Price of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice, within three (3) Trading Days after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of such Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Exercise Shares upon Exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be entitled to both (i) reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which such Exercise was not timely honored and (ii) receive such Exercise Shares.

3. Payment of Warrant Exercise Price for Cash Exercise or Cashless Exercise; Cashless Major Exercise .

(a) Exercise Price . The Exercise Price (“Exercise Price”) shall initially equal $5.42 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof, including but not limited to Section 5(a) and Section 5(b) below.

Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made as follows:

(i) Cash Exercise : The Holder may exercise this Warrant in cash, cashier’s check, wire transfer, or through a reduction of an amount of principal outstanding under any Notes (as defined in the Facility Agreement) in accordance with Section 2.11 of the Facility Agreement, then held by the Holder, equal to the applicable Exercise Price (a “Cash Exercise”).

(ii) Cashless Exercise : The Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction pursuant to this subsection (ii) (a “Cashless Exercise”). In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with an Exercise Form, completed and executed, indicating Holders election to effect a Cashless Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)/A

 

where:

 

X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

 

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being Exercised.

 

A = the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Stock (for purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii), where “Market Price,” means the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined herein) of one (1) share of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the Date of Exercise.

 

B = the Exercise Price.

As used herein, the “Volume Weighted Average Price” for any security as of any date means the volume weighted average sale price on The NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) as reported by, or based upon data reported by, Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent, reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants and the Company (“Bloomberg”) or, if NASDAQ is not the principal trading market for such security, the volume weighted average sale price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such security, then the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the over the counter market by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or in the “pink sheets” by the Pink OTC Market, Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in

 

5


the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price shall be the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Sock is traded for any period on NASDAQ, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

For purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issued upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Stock issued upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.

(b) Cashless Major Exercise: To the extent the Holder shall exercise this Warrant or any portion thereof as a Cashless Major Exercise pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) below, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant, prior to the end of the Early Termination Period, at the principal office of the Company together with the Exercise Form, completed and executed, indicating that the Holder is exercising this Warrant (or such portion thereof) pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue, when and as required pursuant to Section 5(c)(iv) below, a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Cashless Major Shares”) equal to (i) the Black-Scholes Value (as defined in Section 5(c)(iii) below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant (or such applicable portion being exercised) divided by […***…]

(c) [ …***… ]

(d) Dispute Resolution . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within four (4) business days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Exercise Notice or Major Transaction Early Termination Notice, or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) business days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) business days submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Company’s independent, outside accountant, or another accounting firm of national standing selected by the Company. The Company shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than the later of (i) five (5) business days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations or (ii) five (5) business days from the selection of the investment bank and accounting firm, as applicable. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

4. Transfer and Registration .

(a) Transfer Rights . Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to any portion hereof retained.

(b) Registrable Securities . The Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant are expected to be registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.

5. Adjustments Upon Certain Events .

(a) Participation . The Holder, as the holder of this Warrant, shall be entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions of any kind made to the holders of Common Stock of the Company to the same extent as if the Holder had Exercised this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized and reserved to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock.

(b) Recapitalization or Reclassification; Consolidation, Merger or Sale . If the Company shall at any time effect a stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. In addition, if any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the share capital of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its shares and/or assets or other transaction (including, without limitation, a sale of substantially all of its assets followed by a liquidation) shall be effected in such a way that holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shares, securities or other assets or property (a “Change”), then, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Change. The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall similarly apply to successive Changes. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Stock of any transaction or Change described in this Section 5(b).

(c) Rights Upon Major Transaction.

(i) Major Transaction. In the event that a Major Transaction (as defined below) is consummated, then (1) in the case of a Cash-Out Major Transaction, and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction to the extent of the percentage of the cash consideration in the Mixed Major Transaction (determined in accordance with the definition of a Mixed Major Transaction below), the Holder, at its option, may require the Company to redeem, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, the Holder’s outstanding Warrants in accordance with Section 5(c)(iii) below and (2) in the case of all other Major Transactions, and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction to the extent of the percentage of the consideration represented by securities of a Successor Entity in the Mixed Major Transaction, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, as a Cashless Major Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder may elect to waive its rights under this Section 5(c) with respect to any Major Transaction in which event none of the provisions contained in this Section 5(c) shall apply.

Consummation of each of the following events shall constitute a “Major Transaction”:
