On December 17, 2004, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Issuer, Medivation Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger Sub”), and Medivation, Inc. (the “Acquired Company”), providing for the merger of the Merger Sub with and into the Acquired Company, and pursuant to which the Acquired Company became the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other things, all the securities of the Acquired Company (the “Acquired

 

3


Company Securities”) were converted into securities of the Issuer. In addition, on December 17, 2004, the Issuer entered into Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain accredited investors providing for the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock to such accredited investors at the price of $1.55 per share of Common Stock (such transactions completed pursuant to, and in connection with, each of the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreements, together, the “Transactions”). The Reporting Person entered into a Purchase Agreement with the Issuer providing for the issuance and sale of 258,065 shares of Common Stock to the Reporting Person at a price of $1.55 per share of Common Stock.

 

In addition, in connection with the Transactions, an aggregate principal amount of indebtedness of the Issuer of approximately $610,775 (including all accrued interest thereon, the “Indebtedness”), incurred pursuant to three (3) convertible promissory notes issued by the Reporting Person to the Acquired Company, was cancelled by the Reporting Person, and was accordingly converted into 394,049 shares of Common Stock issued to the Reporting Person.

 

At the time the Acquired Company incurred the Indebtedness to the Reporting Person, the Acquired Company issued to the Reporting Person three warrants to purchase equity securities of the Acquired Company (the “Acquired Company Warrants”). In connection with the Merger, and pursuant to the Merger Agreement and an Amendment Agreement dated as of December 17, 2004, by and between the Reporting Person and the Acquired Company (the “Amendment Agreement”), the Acquired Company Warrants were converted into warrants to purchase an aggregate of 77,419 shares of Common Stock at $1.55 per share (the “Converted Warrants”). Each Converted Warrant shall expire on the earliest to occur of (i) a change of control of the Issuer; (ii) the completion of an initial public offering for the Common Stock of the Issuer; and (iii) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the original issuance date of the applicable Acquired Company Warrant that was issued in respect of the applicable Converted Warrant.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, the Purchase Agreements, the Converted Warrants and the Amendment Agreement are not complete. The full texts of such documents, respectively, are filed as exhibits to, and are incorporated by reference into, to this Schedule 13D.

PLAN OF MERGER

 

  2.1 Conversion.

 

  (a) Conversion of Target Common Stock.

 

At the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Target (the “Target Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Target Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(e)) shall be converted, subject to Section 2.1(h), into the right to receive .122935 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), of Orion (the “Conversion Rate”). All such converted shares of Target Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously representing any such converted shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive a certificate representing that number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock into which such shares of Target Common Stock were converted in the Merger pursuant to this Agreement.

 

  (b) Conversion of Target Warrants.

 

At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding warrant to purchase shares of capital stock of Target at the Effective Time (the “Target Warrants”), by virtue of the terms thereof and the Merger and without further action, shall be assumed by Orion and modified so that, in lieu of having the right to acquire

 

2


such shares of capital stock of Target on exercise of the applicable Target Warrant, the holders thereof shall have the right to acquire that number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Orion (the “Orion Common Stock”) equal to that number of shares of Target Common Stock as have been set forth in the applicable Target Warrant, in each case at an exercise price of $1.55 per share of Orion Common Stock.

 

  (c) Conversion of Target Options.

 

At the Effective Time, all unexercised and unexpired options to purchase shares of Target Common Stock then outstanding under any stock option plan of Target at the Effective Time, including the 2004 Equity Incentive Awards Plan or any other plan, agreement or arrangement (the “Target Stock Option Plans”), whether or not then exercisable (the “Target Options”), shall be assumed by Orion. Each Target Option so assumed by Orion under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Target Stock Option Plan and any agreements thereunder immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the vesting schedule (without acceleration thereof by virtue of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby)), except that (i) each Target Option shall be exercisable (or shall become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Orion Common Stock equal to (A) twenty (20) times the number of shares of Target Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Target Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Conversion Rate, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Target Common Stock; and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Orion Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each such assumed Target Option shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing (X) the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Target Common Stock at which such Target Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Rate by (Y) twenty (20), rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The conversion of any Target Options which are “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code into options to purchase Orion Common Stock shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code so as not to constitute a “modification” of such Target Options within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code. Continuous employment with Target or its subsidiaries shall be credited to the optionee for purposes of determining the vesting of all assumed Target Options after the Effective Time.

 

  (d) Schedule of Target Warrants and Options.

 

Attached hereto as SCHEDULE 2.1(d) is the list of Target Warrants and Target Options, the respective holders thereof and the numbers and classes of Target Common Stock and Orion Common Stock for which they may now, and after the Merger be, exercised and the price per share of Orion Common Stock payable upon such exercise.

  (f) Merger Sub.

 

Each share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and be exchanged for one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (the “Surviving Corporation Common Stock”).

If during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of any of the Series B Preferred Stock, Orion Common Stock or Target Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, then the Conversion Rate shall be correspondingly and equitably adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares.

 

  (h) Fractional Shares.

 

No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates, and no dividend or distribution with respect to Series B Preferred Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to any rights of a stockholder of Orion.

 

  2.2 Reservation of Shares for Target Warrants and Target Options.

 

Orion shall retain and reserve that number of authorized but unissued shares of Orion Common Stock that shall be issuable upon the exercise of the Target Warrants and the Target Options at any given time until their respective exercise, conversion or termination, as applicable.

 

  2.3 Dissenting Shareholders.

 

Any holder of shares of Target Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to which dissenters’ rights, if any, are available by reason of the Merger pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code (the “CCC”) who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who complies with Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CCC (the “Target Dissenting Shares”) shall not be entitled to receive any Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this ARTICLE II, unless such holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or loses its dissenters’ rights under the DGCL or the CCC. Such holder shall be entitled to receive only such rights as are granted under Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CCC, as applicable. If any such holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or loses such dissenters’ rights under the DGCL or the CCC, as applicable, such Target Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive that number of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock to which such shares of Target securities are entitled pursuant to this ARTICLE II, in each case without interest. Prior to the Effective Time, the Target shall give Orion prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CCC, as applicable, received by the Target, withdrawals of any such written demands and any other documents or instruments received by the Target in connection therewith. Orion shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Target shall not, except with the prior written consent of Orion, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. Any payments made with respect to Target Dissenting Shares shall be made solely by the Surviving Corporation, and no funds or other property shall be provided by Target, Orion or Merger Sub for such payment.

Upon the surrender by Participating Stockholders of each certificate representing shares of Target Common Stock, and upon the issuance and delivery by Orion of certificates representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the certificates which prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Target Common Stock shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered and exchanged, each such certificate representing shares of Target Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence only a right to receive shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and the holders of such certificates after the Effective Time shall no longer be deemed for any purpose to be holders of shares of Target Common Stock.

 

(b) Participating Stockholders shall, for all purposes (except for the payment of possible dividends or other distributions by Orion which shall be withheld until the exchange of certificates pursuant to Section 2.4(a) hereof), be deemed to be stockholders of Orion, as of the Effective Time, irrespective of whether they have received their certificates or agreements representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

  4.15 Reorganization Treatment.

 

(a) Assets. At the Effective Time, Target will hold at least 90 percent of the fair market value of its net assets and at least 70 percent of the fair market value of its gross assets held immediately prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of this representation, amounts paid by Target to holders of Target Dissenting Shares, amounts paid by Target to Stockholders who receive cash or other property, amounts used by Target to pay Merger expenses, amounts paid by Target to redeem stock, securities, warrants or options of Target as part of any overall plan of which the Merger is part, and amounts distributed by Target to Stockholders (except for any regular, normal dividends) as part of an overall plan of which the Merger is a part, in each case will be treated as constituting assets of Target immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

(b) Business. Target currently conducts a business. Such business is Target’s “historic business” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d), and no assets of Target have been sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of that would prevent Orion from continuing the “historic business” of Target or from using a “significant portion” of Target’s “historic business assets” in a business following the Merger, as such terms are used in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d).

 

(c) Investment Company. Target is not an “investment company” as defined in Sections 368(a)(2)(F)(iii) and (iv) of the Code.

(g) Dividends. At the Effective Time, there will be no accrued but unpaid dividends on Target Common Stock.

 

(h) Control. In the Merger, stock of Target representing “control” of Target (within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code) will be exchanged solely for “voting stock” of Orion (within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(B) and (2)(E) of the Code). For purposes of the preceding sentence, any Target Common Stock to be exchanged for cash or other property originating with Orion is treated as constituting outstanding Target Common Stock at the Effective Time.

For purposes of the representations and warranties of the Orion Parties contained in this ARTICLE V, disclosure in any section of the Disclosure Schedule of any facts or circumstances shall be deemed to be an adequate response and disclosure of such facts or circumstances with respect to all representations or warranties by the Orion Parties calling for disclosure of such information, whether or not such disclosure is specifically associated with or purports to respond to one or more or all of such representations or warranties, if it is reasonably apparent on the face of the Disclosure Schedule that such disclosure is applicable. The inclusion of any information in any section of the Disclosure Schedule by the Orion Parties shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of materiality of such item, nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.

 

  5.1 Due Incorporation; Foreign Qualifications.

 

Each of the Orion Parties is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, in each case with all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate their respective properties and to carry on their respective businesses as they are now being owned, leased, operated and conducted. Each of the Orion Parties is qualified or licensed to do business, and is in good standing, as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the nature of their respective properties owned, leased or operated by them, and the business transacted by them, requires such qualification or licensing, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have an Orion Material Adverse Effect. True, correct and complete copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of each of the Orion Parties, each as

 

15


amended or restated as of the date hereof, have been, or prior to the Closing Date shall have been, delivered to Target. All minutes of meetings (or written consents in lieu of meetings) of the Board of Directors (and all committees thereof) of each of the Orion Parties, and all minutes of meetings (or written consents in lieu of meetings) of the stockholders of each of the Orion Parties, in each case having occurred since January 1, 2000, have been, or prior to the Closing Date will have been, delivered to Target.

Each Orion Party has duly and validly executed and delivered this Agreement, and each will duly and validly execute and deliver the Certificate of Merger on the Effective Time. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Orion Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms as to each Orion Party, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, moratorium, reorganization or other laws from time to time in effect which affect creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (b) the Stockholder Approval.

SCHEDULE 5.3(a) lists all contracts that require a novation or consent to the Merger or change of control, as the case may be, prior to the Effective Time which, if no novation occurs or if no consent to the Merger or change of control is obtained, would have an Orion Material Adverse Effect on Surviving Corporation’s ability to operate the business.

(c) Each Orion Party has obtained, and is in compliance with, all their respective Permits required for the complete operation of the respective businesses of Orion or Merger Sub, as applicable, as each are currently operated, except for any Permits, the absence of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in an Orion Material Adverse Effect (the “Material Orion Permits”).

It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(b) Indemnification by the Medivation Stockholder. Each Medivation Stockholder agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any

 

     -7-     

FORM OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

         


untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Medivation Stockholder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a Medivation Stockholder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Medivation Stockholder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Medivation Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Medivation Stockholder upon the sale of the Medivation Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the affected Medivation Stockholder(s) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

 

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the

OF

ORION ACQUISITION CORP. II

 

Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law

of the State of Delaware

 

Orion Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”), hereby certifies that, pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the Company by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 103 and 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors has duly adopted the following resolutions.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (which authorizes 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”)), the Board of Directors fixed the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and

 

WHEREAS, no shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have been issued,

 

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of the Company and the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Certificate of Designations filed with the office of the Secretary of State of Delaware on [                    ], 2004 creating a class of authorized Preferred Stock of the Company designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and that the designation and number of shares thereof and the voting powers, preferences and other rights of the shares of such class, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof as amended and restated, are as follows:

 

RESOLVED, that the Company is authorized to issue Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on the following terms and with the provisions herein set forth

 

(1). Designation and Number of Shares. Of the 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized pursuant to the Fourth Article of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, 450,000 shares are hereby designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).

 

(2). Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, subject to the rights of other Series of Preferred Stock that are in existence or may, from time to time, come into existence, the assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed among the holders of the Series B

 

-1-


Preferred Stock and among common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”) on the basis of each share of Series B Preferred Stock receiving an amount of cash or other distributable property that is the Conversion Rate (as hereinafter defined) times the amount payable or distributable for each share of Common Stock.

 

(3). Redemption. The Series B Preferred Stock does not have any redemption rights.

 

(4). Dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to dividends unless the Company pays cash dividends or dividends in other property to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, in which event, each outstanding share of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends of cash or property equivalent to that paid in respect of one share of Common Stock times the Conversion Rate (as hereinafter defined). Any dividend payable to the Series B Preferred Stock will have the same record and payment date and terms as the dividend is payable on the Common Stock.

 

(5). Mandatory Conversion.

 

(a). Conversion. In the event that the Company increases the number of shares of authorized Common Stock to be equal to or in excess of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, then upon the filing and acceptance of any change in the Certificate of Incorporation reflecting the increase in capital, whether by amendment or restatement, all the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will immediately and automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock without any notice required on the part of the Company or the holder (“Mandatory Conversion”). In such event, holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive Common Stock at the conversion rate of twenty (20) shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock for one (1) share of Series B Preferred Stock (“Conversion Rate”).

 

(b). Obligation. The Company agrees that it shall in good faith take and any all such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock to not less than 25,000,000 and to expeditiously effect the conversion of (i) all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock to shares of Common Stock and (ii) permit the exercise of all options, warrants or rights to purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of their defining instruments, including, without limiting use its good faith best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to achieve the foregoing.

 

(c). Conversion Procedure. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to issue or cause its transfer agent to issue the Common Stock issuable upon a Mandatory Conversion within three (3) business days after the Mandatory Conversion. The Company shall bear the cost associated with the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon the Mandatory Conversion. The Common Stock and other securities issuable upon the Mandatory Conversion shall be issued with a restrictive legend indicating that it was issued in a transaction which is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and that it cannot be transferred unless it is so registered, or an exemption from registration is available, in the opinion of counsel to the Company. The Common Stock issuable upon the Mandatory Conversion shall be issued in the same name as the person who is the holder of the Series B

 

-2-


Preferred Stock unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such transfer can be made in compliance with applicable securities laws. The person in whose name the certificates of Common Stock are so recorded and other securities issuable upon the Mandatory Conversion shall be treated as a common stockholder of the Company at the close of business on the date of the Mandatory Conversion. The certificates representing the Series B Preferred Stock shall be cancelled, on the date of the Mandatory Conversion.

 

(6). Adjustments to Conversion Rate and Reorganization. The Conversion Rate for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted on a Mandatory Conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

 

(a) Stock Dividends - Recapitalization, Reclassification, Split-Ups. If, prior to the date of Mandatory Conversion, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up, recapitalization or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on the Mandatory Conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

(b) Aggregation of Shares. If prior to the date of Mandatory Conversion, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on the Mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

 

(c) Change Resulting from Reorganization or Change in Par Value, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock which solely affects the par value of the shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter (until the Mandatory Conversion or its equivalent) to receive upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or other transfer, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock, then such adjustment also shall be made.

 

(d) Successive Changes. The provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

 

-3-


(7). Voting Rights. The holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the following voting rights:

 

(a) Those voting rights required by applicable law but excluding the right to vote as a separate class (except as provided in Section (12)); and

 

(b) The right to vote together with the holders of the Common Stock upon all matters submitted to such holders for a vote, the vote of each share of Series B Preferred Stock to be equal to the then Conversion Rate.

 

Notwithstanding Section (7)(b), so long as the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock voting as a separate class shall have the right to elect one member of the Board of Directors of the Company, which director shall be subject to removal only upon the vote of the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock. The above voting rights are also subject to the Protective Rights contained in Section (12) hereof.

 

(8). No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this section and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock against impairment.

 

(9). No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

 

(10). Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or any other right, the Company shall mail to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

 

(11). Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Certificate of Designations to be given to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Company.

 

(12). Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class:

 

(a) create (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares having rights, preferences or privileges equal or senior to the Series B Preferred Stock;

 

-4-


(b) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock;

 

(c) amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in a manner that materially adversely affects the rights, preferences or privileges of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock;

 

(d) increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock of the Company;

 

(e) liquidate or wind-up the Company;

 

(f) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set funds aside for a sinking fund for such purpose) any share or shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to the repurchase of shares of Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares at cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment, or through the exercise of any right of first refusal; or

 

(g) take any other action which is required to be taken only with the consent or approval of the holders of the Company’s capital stock, whether pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation or the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

(13). Approval of the Board of Directors. So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not take any action which is required to be taken only with the consent or approval of a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors without the consent or approval of the Series B Director.

 

(14). Return of Status as Authorized Shares. Upon a Mandatory Conversion or any other redemption or extinguishment of the Series B Preferred Stock, the shares converted, redeemed or extinguished will be automatically returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock, available for future designation and issuance pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation.

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the statements contained in the foregoing resolutions creating and designating the said Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and fixing the number, powers, preferences and relative, optional, participating, and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations, restrictions, and other distinguishing characteristics thereof shall, upon the effective date of said series, be deemed to be included in and be a part of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Sections 104 and 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

-17-


(ii) By the Company if any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 shall have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not have been waived by the Company;

 

(iii) By an Investor (with respect to itself only) if any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 shall have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not have been waived by the Investor; or

 

(iv) By either the Company or any Investor (with respect to itself only) if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to the earliest to occur of (i) the effective date of the Merger, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement or (iii) December 31, 2004;

 

provided, however, that, except in the case of clause (i) above, the party seeking to terminate its obligation to effect the Closing shall not then be in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents if such breach has resulted in the circumstances giving rise to such party’s seeking to terminate its obligation to effect the Closing.

 

(b) In the event of termination by the Company or any Investor of its obligations to effect the Closing pursuant to this Section 6.3, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Investors and the other Investors shall have the right to terminate their obligations to effect the Closing upon written notice to the Company and the other Investors. Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

 

7. Covenants and Agreements of the Company.

 

7.1 Reports. The Company will furnish to such Investors and/or their assignees such information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as from time to time may reasonably be requested by such Investors and/or their assignees; provided, however, that the Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Investors, or to advisors to or representatives of the Investors, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Investors, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Investor wishing to obtain such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.

 

7.2 No Conflicting Agreements. The Company will not take any action, enter into any agreement or make any commitment that would conflict or interfere in any material respect with the Company’s obligations to the Investors under the Transaction Documents.

-18-


7.4 Compliance with Laws. The Company will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders and decrees of all governmental authorities.

 

7.5 Listing of Underlying Shares and Related Matters. Promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the outstanding shares of Common Stock (including the Shares) to be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Further, if the Company applies to have its Common Stock or other securities traded on any other principal stock exchange or market, it shall include in such application the Shares and will take such other action as is necessary to cause such Common Stock to be so listed. The Company will use its best efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and, in accordance, therewith, will use its best efforts to comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such market or exchange, as applicable.

 

7.6 Termination of Covenants. The provisions of Sections 7.1 through 7.4 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the date on which the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement to register or maintain the effectiveness of any registration covering the Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall terminate.

 

7.7 Removal of Legends. Upon the earlier of (i) registration for resale pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and receipt by the Company of an executed certificate of subsequent sale in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (a “Certificate of Subsequent Sale”) or (ii) Rule 144(k) becoming available the Company shall, upon an Investor’s written request, promptly cause certificates evidencing the Investor’s Shares to be replaced with certificates which do not bear such restrictive legends. From and after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company shall provide the transfer agent for the Shares with irrevocable written instructions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investors, to register the transfer of any Shares upon receipt of the certificate or certificates representing such Shares along with a Certificate of Subsequent Sale relating to such Shares. When the Company is required to cause unlegended certificates to replace previously issued legended certificates, if unlegended certificates are not delivered to an Investor at its address as set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement (as may be updated from time to time by such investor in compliance with Section 9.4 of this Agreement) within three (3) Business Days (five (5) Business Days for any Investor which is not a U.S. Person) of submission by that Investor of legended certificate(s) to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, together with a Certificate of Subsequent Sale or, in the event of a sale under Rule 144(k), a representation letter in customary form, the Company shall be liable to the Investor for liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price of the Securities evidenced by such certificate(s) for each thirty (30) day period (or portion thereof) beyond such three (3) Business Day that the unlegended certificates have not been so delivered.

8. Survival and Indemnification.

 

8.1 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive for a period of eighteen months following the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

8.2 Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such Person.

 

8.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person (the Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8.2, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.

Exhibit 99.3

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO, AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH, THAT CERTAIN CONVERTIBLE NOTE AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE HOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.

 

Dated: June 8, 2004

   Void after the date
     specified below in Section 1(c)

 

MEDIVATION, INC.

 

WARRANT

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Joseph J. Grano, Jr. and his registered assigns (and each transferee, hereinafter called the “Holder”) is entitled to purchase from Medivation, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, at the times and under the circumstances set forth below in Section 1, up to the number of Warrant Shares (defined below) specified in Section 1(b) below at an exercise price per share equal to the Exercise Price (defined below) specified in Section 1(b) below. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at the option of the Holder in the manner and at the times set forth below.

 

The “Loan Agreement” shall mean that certain Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 8, 2004, by and between the Company and the Holder, as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, defined terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement.

 

1. Exercise Price, Type of Security.

 

(a) Exercisability. Subject to Section 1(c), this Warrant shall be exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof for Warrant Shares (defined below) at any time during the Exercise Period. “Exercise Period” shall mean the period beginning upon the closing of the first Equity Financing of the Company that occurs after the date hereof (the “First Equity Financing”) and ending upon the applicable termination date specified in Section 1(c) hereof; provided, however, that if a Change of Control occurs prior to the First Equity Financing, this Warrant shall also be exercisable upon the closing of such Change of Control as provided for in Section 1(b)(ii) hereof.


(b) Type of Security; Exercise Price; Number of Warrant Shares. This Warrant shall be exercisable for Warrant Shares at an Exercise Price per share as follows:

 

(i) If this Warrant is exercised following the closing of the First Equity Financing, the “Warrant Shares” shall mean the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock issued in such First Equity Financing equal to (a) twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Note originally issued by the Company in connection with this Warrant pursuant to the Loan Agreement, divided by (b) the the price per share at which the Company sells such capital stock in the First Equity Financing (the “First Equity Financing Price”). In such event, the “Exercise Price” per share shall be equal to the First Equity Financing Price, subject to adjustment as provided for herein.

 

(ii) If this Warrant is exercised before the closing of the First Equity Financing (i.e., immediately prior to a Change of Control), the “Warrant Shares” shall mean the number of shares of Company’s Common Stock, par value $.001, equal to (a) twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Note originally issued by the Company in connection with this Warrant pursuant to the Loan Agreement, divided by (b) One Dollar and Twenty Five Cents ($1.25). In such event, the “Exercise Price” per share shall be equal to One Dollar and Twenty Five Cents ($1.25)

 

(c) Termination. This Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon exercise hereof) shall terminate, if not earlier exercised, upon the first to occur of (i) the closing of a Change of Control; (ii) the closing of the Company’s initial public offering of its Common Stock; or (iii) June 8, 2014.

 

2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant.

 

(a) Cash Exercise. The purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by: (i) the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Attachment A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company; and (ii) the payment to the Company in cash of an amount equal to the Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased (such aggregate amount of money, the “Purchase Price”).

 

(b) Net Issuance Exercise.

 

(i) In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided above in Section 2(a), the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election in which event in exchange therefor the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

X =

       Y (A-B)  
               A

 

2


Where

   X =    The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder
     Y =    The total number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised.
     A =    The fair market value of one Warrant Share (at the date of such calculation).
     B =    The Exercise Price.

 

(ii) For purposes of this Section 2(b), the fair market value of one Warrant Share on the date of calculation shall mean with respect to each Warrant Share:

 

(a) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock, and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x) the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each Warrant Share is convertible on the date of calculation;

 

(b) if (a) is not applicable, the fair market value of a Warrant Share shall be as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith and taking into account the rights, preferences and privileges of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, as well as the amount to be distributed to or received by holders of Warrant Shares in connection with any transaction in connection with which this Warrant is then being exercised or upon which such exercise is being conditioned.

 

(iii) The Company and the Holder agree that any exchange of this Warrant for shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(b) is being undertaken pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 368(a)(1)(E).

 

(c) Conditional Exercise. A Holder may condition any exercise of this Warrant upon any event, happening or condition (or the absence thereof) either within a stated period of time or otherwise, and no exercise hereof shall be deemed to have occurred except subject to and in conformance with such conditions. Any such conditions shall be in writing and delivered to the Company together with such Holder’s notice of exercise.

 

(d) Holder of Record. Upon receipt by the Company of such notice of exercise, together with, if applicable, the aggregate Purchase Price, at its office, or by the stock transfer agent or Warrant agent of the Company at its office, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the applicable Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.

 

(e) Exercise for Less than All Warrant Shares. In the event that this Warrant is being exercised for less than all of the then-current number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, the Company shall, concurrently with the issuance by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) of the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is then being exercised, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of like form exercisable for the remaining number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder.

 

3


(f) Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (including without limitation any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes, but excluding taxes based upon income) and any other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to any exercise hereof or any issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares hereunder by the Company (including upon any subsequent conversion of Warrant Shares that are shares of preferred stock).

 

3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Warrant Shares. All shares of stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (including without limitation upon any subsequent conversion of any Warrant Shares) will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company shall have authorized and reserved for issuance (i) sufficient shares of Warrant Shares to permit the full exercise of this Warrant at or prior to the date on which this Warrant becomes exercisable, and (ii) if applicable, sufficient shares of Common Stock to permit the full conversion of such Warrant Shares in conformance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as then in effect.

 

4. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number of and kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time after the date on which this Warrant first becomes exercisable and prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Warrant Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Warrant Shares, or issue additional Warrant Shares as a dividend with respect to any of its Warrant Shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate Purchase Price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

 

(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change in the capital stock of the Company (including by way of a merger or otherwise, but other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 4(a) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the holder of this Warrant, so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Warrant Shares as were purchasable by the holder of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change.

 

4


(c) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of such event and of the number of shares of Warrant Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

5. Fractional Warrant Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

6. Compliance with Securities Act. This Warrant and all Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, hereinafter, the “Act”) shall be stamped or imprinted with legends in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO, AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH, THAT CERTAIN CONVERTIBLE NOTE AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE HOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.”

 

7. Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

8. Disposition of Warrant Shares. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of any Warrant Shares prior to registration of such shares, the Holder and each subsequent Holder of this Warrant agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such Holder’s counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect) of such Warrant Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for such shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Act; provided, however, Warrant Shares may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144.

 

5


Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such opinion of counsel or no action letter shall be necessary for a transfer by a Holder (i) to an affiliate, (ii) to a partner, retired partner, member or retired member where the Holder is a partnership or a limited liability company, (iii) by gift, will or intestate succession to his or her spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or any trust for the benefit of any of the foregoing; provided the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he/she were the original Holder hereunder.

 

9. No Rights as Stockholder. No Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant has been exercised and the Warrant Shares shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

 

10. GOVERNING LAW. ALL ISSUES AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES OR PROVISIONS (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

 

11. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications that are required or may be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when received if personally delivered, (ii) upon electronic confirmation of receipt, if transmitted by telecopy, (iii) the first business day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery to a domestic address by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express), and (iv) five days from the date of deposit in the U.S. mails, if sent by certified or registered U.S. mail, return receipt requested.

specified below in Section 1(c)

 

MEDIVATION, INC.

 

WARRANT

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Joseph J. Grano, Jr. and his registered assigns (and each transferee, hereinafter called the “Holder”) is entitled to purchase from Medivation, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, at the times and under the circumstances set forth below in Section 1, up to the number of Warrant Shares (defined below) specified in Section 1(b) below at an exercise price per share equal to the Exercise Price (defined below) specified in Section 1(b) below. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at the option of the Holder in the manner and at the times set forth below.

 

The “Loan Agreement” shall mean that certain Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2004, by and between the Company and the Holder, as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, defined terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement.

 

1. Exercise Price, Type of Security.

 

(a) Exercisability. Subject to Section 1(c), this Warrant shall be exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof for Warrant Shares (defined below) at any time during the Exercise Period. “Exercise Period” shall mean the period beginning upon the closing of the first Equity Financing of the Company that occurs after the date hereof (the “First Equity Financing”) and ending upon the applicable termination date specified in Section 1(c) hereof; provided, however, that if a Change of Control occurs prior to the First Equity Financing, this Warrant shall also be exercisable upon the closing of such Change of Control as provided for in Section 1(b)(ii) hereof.


(b) Type of Security; Exercise Price; Number of Warrant Shares. This Warrant shall be exercisable for Warrant Shares at an Exercise Price per share as follows:

 

(i) If this Warrant is exercised following the closing of the First Equity Financing, the “Warrant Shares” shall mean the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock issued in such First Equity Financing equal to (a) twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Note originally issued by the Company in connection with this Warrant pursuant to the Loan Agreement, divided by (b) the the price per share at which the Company sells such capital stock in the First Equity Financing (the “First Equity Financing Price”). In such event, the “Exercise Price” per share shall be equal to the First Equity Financing Price, subject to adjustment as provided for herein.

 

(ii) If this Warrant is exercised before the closing of the First Equity Financing (i.e., immediately prior to a Change of Control), the “Warrant Shares” shall mean the number of shares of Company’s Common Stock, par value $.001, equal to (a) twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Note originally issued by the Company in connection with this Warrant pursuant to the Loan Agreement, divided by (b) One Dollar and Twenty Five Cents ($1.25). In such event, the “Exercise Price” per share shall be equal to One Dollar and Twenty Five Cents ($1.25)

 

(c) Termination. This Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon exercise hereof) shall terminate, if not earlier exercised, upon the first to occur of (i) the closing of a Change of Control; (ii) the closing of the Company’s initial public offering of its Common Stock; or (iii) August 1, 2014.

 

2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant.

 

(a) Cash Exercise. The purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by: (i) the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Attachment A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company; and (ii) the payment to the Company in cash of an amount equal to the Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased (such aggregate amount of money, the “Purchase Price”).

 

(b) Net Issuance Exercise.

 

(i) In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided above in Section 2(a), the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election in which event in exchange therefor the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

    

X =

  

  Y (A-B)


         

       A

 

Where X = The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder

 

2


             Y = The total number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised.

 

             A = The fair market value of one Warrant Share (at the date of such calculation).

 

             B = The Exercise Price.

 

(ii) For purposes of this Section 2(b), the fair market value of one Warrant Share on the date of calculation shall mean with respect to each Warrant Share:

 

(a) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock, and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x) the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each Warrant Share is convertible on the date of calculation;

 

(b) if (a) is not applicable, the fair market value of a Warrant Share shall be as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith and taking into account the rights, preferences and privileges of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, as well as the amount to be distributed to or received by holders of Warrant Shares in connection with any transaction in connection with which this Warrant is then being exercised or upon which such exercise is being conditioned.

 

(iii) The Company and the Holder agree that any exchange of this Warrant for shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(b) is being undertaken pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 368(a)(1)(E).

 

(c) Conditional Exercise. A Holder may condition any exercise of this Warrant upon any event, happening or condition (or the absence thereof) either within a stated period of time or otherwise, and no exercise hereof shall be deemed to have occurred except subject to and in conformance with such conditions. Any such conditions shall be in writing and delivered to the Company together with such Holder’s notice of exercise.

 

(d) Holder of Record. Upon receipt by the Company of such notice of exercise, together with, if applicable, the aggregate Purchase Price, at its office, or by the stock transfer agent or Warrant agent of the Company at its office, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the applicable Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.

 

(e) Exercise for Less than All Warrant Shares. In the event that this Warrant is being exercised for less than all of the then-current number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, the Company shall, concurrently with the issuance by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) of the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is then being exercised, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of like form exercisable for the remaining number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder.

 

3


(f) Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (including without limitation any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes, but excluding taxes based upon income) and any other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to any exercise hereof or any issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares hereunder by the Company (including upon any subsequent conversion of Warrant Shares that are shares of preferred stock).

 

3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Warrant Shares. All shares of stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (including without limitation upon any subsequent conversion of any Warrant Shares) will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company shall have authorized and reserved for issuance (i) sufficient shares of Warrant Shares to permit the full exercise of this Warrant at or prior to the date on which this Warrant becomes exercisable, and (ii) if applicable, sufficient shares of Common Stock to permit the full conversion of such Warrant Shares in conformance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as then in effect.

 

4. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number of and kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time after the date on which this Warrant first becomes exercisable and prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Warrant Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Warrant Shares, or issue additional Warrant Shares as a dividend with respect to any of its Warrant Shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate Purchase Price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

 

(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change in the capital stock of the Company (including by way of a merger or otherwise, but other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 4(a) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the holder of this Warrant, so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Warrant Shares as were purchasable by the holder of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change.

 

4


(c) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of such event and of the number of shares of Warrant Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

5. Fractional Warrant Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

6. Compliance with Securities Act. This Warrant and all Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, hereinafter, the “Act”) shall be stamped or imprinted with legends in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO, AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH, THAT CERTAIN CONVERTIBLE NOTE AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE HOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.”

 

7. Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

8. Disposition of Warrant Shares. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of any Warrant Shares prior to registration of such shares, the Holder and each subsequent Holder of this Warrant agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such Holder’s counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect) of such Warrant Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for such shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Act; provided, however, Warrant Shares may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144.

 

5


Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such opinion of counsel or no action letter shall be necessary for a transfer by a Holder (i) to an affiliate, (ii) to a partner, retired partner, member or retired member where the Holder is a partnership or a limited liability company, (iii) by gift, will or intestate succession to his or her spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or any trust for the benefit of any of the foregoing; provided the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he/she were the original Holder hereunder.

 

9. No Rights as Stockholder. No Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant has been exercised and the Warrant Shares shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

 

10. GOVERNING LAW. ALL ISSUES AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES OR PROVISIONS (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

 

11. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications that are required or may be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when received if personally delivered, (ii) upon electronic confirmation of receipt, if transmitted by telecopy, (iii) the first business day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery to a domestic address by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express), and (iv) five days from the date of deposit in the U.S. mails, if sent by certified or registered U.S. mail, return receipt requested.

MEDIVATION, INC.

 

WARRANT

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Joseph J. Grano, Jr. and his registered assigns (and each transferee, hereinafter called the “Holder”) is entitled to purchase from Medivation, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, at the times and under the circumstances set forth below in Section 1, up to the number of Warrant Shares (defined below) specified in Section 1(b) below at an exercise price per share equal to the Exercise Price (defined below) specified in Section 1(b) below. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at the option of the Holder in the manner and at the times set forth below.

 

The “Loan Agreement” shall mean that certain Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2004, by and between the Company and the Holder, as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, defined terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement.

 

1. Exercise Price, Type of Security.

 

(a) Exercisability. Subject to Section 1(c), this Warrant shall be exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof for Warrant Shares (defined below) at any time during the Exercise Period. “Exercise Period” shall mean the period beginning upon the closing of the first Equity Financing of the Company that occurs after the date hereof (the “First Equity Financing”) and ending upon the applicable termination date specified in Section 1(c) hereof; provided, however, that if a Change of Control occurs prior to the First Equity Financing, this Warrant shall also be exercisable upon the closing of such Change of Control as provided for in Section 1(b)(ii) hereof.


(b) Type of Security; Exercise Price; Number of Warrant Shares. This Warrant shall be exercisable for Warrant Shares at an Exercise Price per share as follows:

 

(i) If this Warrant is exercised following the closing of the First Equity Financing, the “Warrant Shares” shall mean the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock issued in such First Equity Financing equal to (a) twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Note originally issued by the Company in connection with this Warrant pursuant to the Loan Agreement, divided by (b) the the price per share at which the Company sells such capital stock in the First Equity Financing (the “First Equity Financing Price”). In such event, the “Exercise Price” per share shall be equal to the First Equity Financing Price, subject to adjustment as provided for herein.

 

(ii) If this Warrant is exercised before the closing of the First Equity Financing (i.e., immediately prior to a Change of Control), the “Warrant Shares” shall mean the number of shares of Company’s Common Stock, par value $.001, equal to (a) twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Note originally issued by the Company in connection with this Warrant pursuant to the Loan Agreement, divided by (b) One Dollar and Twenty Five Cents ($1.25). In such event, the “Exercise Price” per share shall be equal to One Dollar and Twenty Five Cents ($1.25)

 

(c) Termination. This Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon exercise hereof) shall terminate, if not earlier exercised, upon the first to occur of (i) the closing of a Change of Control; (ii) the closing of the Company’s initial public offering of its Common Stock; or (iii) September 1, 2014.

 

2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant.

 

(a) Cash Exercise. The purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by: (i) the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Attachment A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company; and (ii) the payment to the Company in cash of an amount equal to the Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased (such aggregate amount of money, the “Purchase Price”).

 

(b) Net Issuance Exercise.

 

(i) In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided above in Section 2(a), the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election in which event in exchange therefor the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

     X   =    Y (A-B)
               A
Where    X   =    The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder

 

2


     Y   =    The total number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised.
     A   =    The fair market value of one Warrant Share (at the date of such calculation).
     B   =    The Exercise Price.

 

(ii) For purposes of this Section 2(b), the fair market value of one Warrant Share on the date of calculation shall mean with respect to each Warrant Share:

 

(a) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock, and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x) the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each Warrant Share is convertible on the date of calculation;

 

(b) if (a) is not applicable, the fair market value of a Warrant Share shall be as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith and taking into account the rights, preferences and privileges of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, as well as the amount to be distributed to or received by holders of Warrant Shares in connection with any transaction in connection with which this Warrant is then being exercised or upon which such exercise is being conditioned.

 

(iii) The Company and the Holder agree that any exchange of this Warrant for shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(b) is being undertaken pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 368(a)(1)(E).

 

(c) Conditional Exercise. A Holder may condition any exercise of this Warrant upon any event, happening or condition (or the absence thereof) either within a stated period of time or otherwise, and no exercise hereof shall be deemed to have occurred except subject to and in conformance with such conditions. Any such conditions shall be in writing and delivered to the Company together with such Holder’s notice of exercise.

 

(d) Holder of Record. Upon receipt by the Company of such notice of exercise, together with, if applicable, the aggregate Purchase Price, at its office, or by the stock transfer agent or Warrant agent of the Company at its office, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the applicable Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.

 

(e) Exercise for Less than All Warrant Shares. In the event that this Warrant is being exercised for less than all of the then-current number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, the Company shall, concurrently with the issuance by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) of the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is then being exercised, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of like form exercisable for the remaining number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder.

 

3


(f) Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (including without limitation any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes, but excluding taxes based upon income) and any other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to any exercise hereof or any issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares hereunder by the Company (including upon any subsequent conversion of Warrant Shares that are shares of preferred stock).

 

3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Warrant Shares. All shares of stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (including without limitation upon any subsequent conversion of any Warrant Shares) will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company shall have authorized and reserved for issuance (i) sufficient shares of Warrant Shares to permit the full exercise of this Warrant at or prior to the date on which this Warrant becomes exercisable, and (ii) if applicable, sufficient shares of Common Stock to permit the full conversion of such Warrant Shares in conformance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as then in effect.

 

4. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number of and kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time after the date on which this Warrant first becomes exercisable and prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Warrant Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Warrant Shares, or issue additional Warrant Shares as a dividend with respect to any of its Warrant Shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate Purchase Price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

 

(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change in the capital stock of the Company (including by way of a merger or otherwise, but other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 4(a) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the holder of this Warrant, so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Warrant Shares as were purchasable by the holder of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change.

 

4


(c) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of such event and of the number of shares of Warrant Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

5. Fractional Warrant Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

6. Compliance with Securities Act. This Warrant and all Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, hereinafter, the “Act”) shall be stamped or imprinted with legends in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO, AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH, THAT CERTAIN CONVERTIBLE NOTE AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE HOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.”

 

7. Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

8. Disposition of Warrant Shares. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of any Warrant Shares prior to registration of such shares, the Holder and each subsequent Holder of this Warrant agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such Holder’s counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect) of such Warrant Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for such shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Act; provided, however, Warrant Shares may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144.

 

5


Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such opinion of counsel or no action letter shall be necessary for a transfer by a Holder (i) to an affiliate, (ii) to a partner, retired partner, member or retired member where the Holder is a partnership or a limited liability company, (iii) by gift, will or intestate succession to his or her spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or any trust for the benefit of any of the foregoing; provided the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he/she were the original Holder hereunder.

 

9. No Rights as Stockholder. No Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant has been exercised and the Warrant Shares shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

 

10. GOVERNING LAW. ALL ISSUES AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES OR PROVISIONS (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

 

11. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications that are required or may be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when received if personally delivered, (ii) upon electronic confirmation of receipt, if transmitted by telecopy, (iii) the first business day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery to a domestic address by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express), and (iv) five days from the date of deposit in the U.S. mails, if sent by certified or registered U.S. mail, return receipt requested.

EXHIBIT 99.6

 

AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

 

This Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”), dated as of December     , 2004, is made by and between Medivation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Medivation”), and Joseph J. Grano, Jr. (“Mr. Grano”).

 

A. Mr. Grano and Medivation have entered into three Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements, Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) and Warrants (the “Warrants”), dated as of June 8, August 1 and September 1, 2004. These agreements shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Loan Documents.”

 

B. Pursuant to the Loan Documents, Mr. Grano extended to Medivation loans in the aggregate principal amount of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000) (the “Loans”).

 

C. Medivation presently intends to enter into a reverse merger (the “Merger”) with Orion Acquisition Corp II, a Delaware corporation (“Orion”), on the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated November 30, 2004 (the “PPM”), a copy of which has been provided to Mr. Grano. As a result of the Merger, Medivation will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orion.

 

D. Immediately following completion of the Merger, Orion will issue shares of its Common Stock (the “Orion Common Stock”) to investors in a private placement financing (the “Offering”), and will agree with such investors to register the shares sold in the Offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission for reoffer and resale, all on the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the PPM.

 

E. The Merger and the Offering shall sometimes be referred to collectively herein as the “Transaction.”

 

F. Medivation and Mr. Grano mutually desire to enter into this Amendment to amend the terms of certain of the Loan Documents, and to reflect their mutual agreement on the disposition of the Loans in the Transaction.

 

I. All of the agreements in this Amendment are subject to, and will take effect only upon the consummation of, the Transaction.


In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Mr. Grano and Medivation hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Loans.

 

(a) The aggregate principal balance, plus accrued but unpaid interest, on the Loans shall be converted in the Offering into shares of Orion Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to the per share price paid by new investors in the Offering (the “Offering Price”). As described in the PPM, the Offering Price is presently anticipated to be One Dollar Fifty Five Cents ($1.55) per share.

 

(b) Upon closing of the Transaction, the Warrants shall become exerciseable, automatically and without further action on the part of either Mr. Grano or Medivation, to purchase shares of Orion Common Stock at the Offering Price per share. For purposes of the termination provisions of the Warrants, the Transaction will be deemed not to constitute a “Change of Control” of Medivation, with the consequence that the Warrants will remain exercisable following completion of the Transaction in accordance with their terms, except for the change in underlying security and purchase price specified in this Section 1(b).

 

2. Amendment. This Amendment shall be deemed to amend each provision of the Loan Documents necessary in order to reflect the agreements of the parties set forth herein. Accept as so amended, the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

 

3. Effectiveness. The agreements of the parties set forth in this Amendment shall take effect automatically, without further action by either party, upon the closing of the Transaction. Should the Transaction not close, the agreements set forth in this Amendment shall be null, void and of no effect on either party or any of the Loan Documents.

 

4. Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any and all other written or oral agreements existing between the parties hereto are expressly cancelled. Any term of this Amendment may be amended or waived only with the written consent of both parties hereto.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date first noted above.
