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.

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”:
(A) a c
