THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

Right to Purchase up to 1,000,000 Shares of Common Stock of
BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc.
(subject to adjustment as provided herein)

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

Issue Date: March 12, 2007

BIODELIVERY SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, CDC IV, LLC, or assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company (as defined herein) from and after the Issue Date of this Warrant and at any time or from time to time before 5:00 p.m., New York time, through the close of business March 12, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”), up to 1,000,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), $0.001 par value per share, at the applicable Exercise Price per share (as defined below).  The number and character of such shares of Common Stock and the applicable Exercise Price per share are subject to adjustment as provided herein.

As used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires, have the following respective meanings:

          (a)          The term “Company” shall include BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. and any corporation which shall succeed, or assume the obligations of, BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. hereunder.

          (b)          The term “Common Stock” includes (i) the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share; and (ii) any other securities into which or for which any of the securities described in the preceding clause (i) may be converted or exchanged pursuant to a plan of recapitalization, reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.

          (c)          The term “Other Securities” refers to any stock (other than Common Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other person (corporate or otherwise) which the holder of the Warrant at any time shall be entitled to receive, or shall have received, on the exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of or in addition to Common Stock, or which at any time shall be issuable or shall have been issued in exchange for or in replacement of Common Stock or Other Securities pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise.




 

(d)           The “Exercise Price” applicable under this Warrant shall be a price of three dollars and eighty cents ($3.80) per share of Common Stock as the same may be adjusted as provided below.

1.             Exercise of Warrant.

1.1           Number of Shares Issuable upon Exercise.  From and after the date hereof through and including the Expiration Date, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, by delivery of an original or fax copy of an exercise notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.

1.2           Company Acknowledgment.  The Company will, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.  If the Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such Holder any such rights.

1.3           Trustee for Warrant Holders.  In the event that a bank or trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for the holders of this Warrant pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers and duties of a warrant agent (as hereinafter described) and shall accept, in its own name for the account of the Company or such successor person as may be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.

2.             Procedure for Exercise.

2.1           Delivery of Stock Certificates, Etc., on Exercise.  The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares in accordance herewith.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise.  Any fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

2.2           Exercise Procedures.  Payment may be made in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Common Shares specified in such Exercise Notice (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the Holder shall

2




thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.

3.             Effect of Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.

3.1           Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc.  In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other entity, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.

3.2           Dissolution.  In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall, upon exercise of this Warrant, at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3.1, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the Holder of this Warrant (the “Trustee”).

3.3           Continuation of Terms.  Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4.  In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3, then, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of this Warrant will be delivered to the Holder or the Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.

4.             Adjustments.

4.1           Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock.  In the event that the Company shall: (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Company, (b)

3




subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock (each of the preceding clauses (a) through (c), inclusive, an “Event”), then, on the occurrence of each such Event, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective, shall be adjusted by the Company so that the Holder thereafter exercising this Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock which the Holder would have received if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such Event upon payment of an Exercise Price that has been adjusted to reflect a fair allocation of the economics of such event to the Holder. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

4.2           Anti-Dilution Adjustment.  If and whenever the Company shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with any of Sections 4.2(a) through (e) hereof, deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (as defined below) (a “Trigger Issuance”), the then-existing Exercise Price, shall be reduced, as of the close of business on the effective date of the Trigger Issuance, to a price determined as follows:

Adjusted Exercise Price = (A x B) + D

 

 

 

A+C

 

 

 

where

“A” equals: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus (ii) any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any warrants or other Convertible Securities (as defined below) that have an exercise price less than the then current Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in each case solely to the extent held by Holder or its affiliates, immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;

“B” equals the Exercise Price in effect immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;

“C” equals the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued hereunder as a result of the Trigger Issuance; and

“D” equals the aggregate consideration, if any, received or deemed to be received by the Company upon such Trigger Issuance; provided, however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price after giving effect to such Trigger Issuance be greater than the Exercise Price in effect prior to such Trigger Issuance.

The Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined as follows:

(a)           If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or traded on any national market system, the lesser of: (i) the average of the high and low reported sale prices per share of Common Stock thereon on the trading day immediately

4




preceding the exercise date; and (ii) the average of the daily closing prices for the thirty (3) trading days immediately preceding the exercise date.

(b)           If the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or traded on any national market system, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the amount recently determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) to represent the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock (including without limitation a determination for purposes of granting Common Stock options or issuing Common Stock under any plan, agreement or arrangement with employees of the Company); and, upon request of the Holder, the Board (or a representative thereof) shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than 10 days after such request, notify the Holder of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock and furnish the Holder with reasonable documentation of the Board’s determination of such Fair Market Value.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board has not made such a determination within the three-month period prior to the exercise date, then (A) the Board shall make, and shall provide or cause to be provided to the Holder notice of, a determination of the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock within 15 days of a request by the Holder that it do so, and (B) the exercise of this Warrant shall be delayed until such determination is made and notice thereof is provided to the Holder.

For purposes of this Section 4.2, “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company or deemed to be issued pursuant to this Section 4.2.

For purposes of this Section 4.2, the following subsections (a) to (e) shall also be applicable:

(a)           Issuance of Rights or Options.  If at any time the Company shall in any manner grant (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants, rights or options being called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called “Convertible Securities”) whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (such price being referred to herein as the “Exercise Consideration”, which shall be determined by dividing: (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options (the “Grant Consideration”; together with Exercise Consideration, the “Option Consideration”), plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof), by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such

5




Options) shall, on a per share basis, be less than the Fair Market Value in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of granting of such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2(c), no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.  In the event that the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Value of the Grant Consideration, the Company and the Holder shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters. The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall be borne evenly by the Company and the Holder.

(b)           Issuance of Convertible Securities.  If the Company shall in any manner issue (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (the “Conversion Consideration”) (determined by dividing: (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2(c), no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Exercise Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of Section 4.2.

(c)           Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate.  Upon the happening of any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in Section 4.2 (a) hereof, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4.2 (a) or Section 4.2(b). or the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Sections 4.2(a) or 4.2(b) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (including, but not limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be,

6




at the time initially granted, issued or sold.  On the termination of any Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this Section 4.2 or any right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this Section 4.2 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by the Company), the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination, never been issued.

(d)           Consideration for Stock.  In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor, after deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith.

(e)           Record Date.  In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them: (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(f)            Treasury Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 4.2.

4.3           Adjustment in Number of Shares of Common Stock Purchaseable.  When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 4.2, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing: (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

5               Certificate as to Adjustments.  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be

7




received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant.  The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of this Warrant and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 9 hereof).

6.             Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant.  The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.

7.             Assignment; Exchange of Warrant.  Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in part to any affiliate (as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended).  On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, the provision of a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel (at the Company’s expense) that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense (but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

8.             Replacement of Warrant.  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

9.             Warrant Agent.  The Company may, by written notice to the each Holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.

10.           Transfer on the Company’s Books.  Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

11.           Notices, etc.  All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile transaction, at such address and fax number as may have been furnished to the

8




Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the Company an address or fax number, then to, and at the address or fax number of, the last Holder of this Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.

13.           Miscellaneous.  This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  Any action brought concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state of New York.  In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.  Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant.  The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.  The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other party.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Warrant as of the date first written above.

3.             Registration Procedures.  If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall:

(a)           (i) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities; (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period; (iii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be properly filed; (iv) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto; and (v) provide CDC, as promptly as reasonably possible, true and complete copies of all correspondence and filings from and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement;

(b)           furnish to CDC, without charge, such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus) as CDC reasonably may request to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement;

(c)           use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

(d)           use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as CDC may request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(e)           (i) in the time and manner required by NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”), prepare and file with NASDAQ, or such other Trading Market on which the Company is currently listed, an additional shares listing application covering all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts, regardless of listing or similar costs, to take all steps necessary to cause such Registrable Securities to be approved for listing on NASDAQ, or such other Trading Market on which the Company is currently listed, as soon as possible thereafter; and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts, regardless of listing or similar costs, to maintain the listing of such Registrable Securities on NASDAQ, or such other Trading Market on which the Company is currently listed.

(f)            immediately notify CDC at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a

3




material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and

(g)           make available for inspection by CDC and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by CDC, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of CDC.

4.             Registration Expenses.  All expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with Sections 2 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, and reasonable fees of, and disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the Holders approved in advance by the Company, are called “Registration Expenses.”  All selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders beyond those included in Registration Expenses, are called “Selling Expenses.”  The Company shall only be responsible for all Registration Expenses.

(5)           Indemnification.

(a)           In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless CDC, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls CDC within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which CDC, or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of CDC to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse CDC, and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of CDC or any such person in writing specifically for use in any such document, or the failure of CDC to deliver a Prospectus, to the extent that CDC was required to do so under applicable securities laws.

(b)           In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, CDC will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the

4




 

meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact which was furnished in writing by CDC to the Company expressly for use in (and such information is contained in) the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that CDC will be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of CDC specifically for use in any such document.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, CDC shall not be required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by CDC in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act.

(c)           Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against a party hereto obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party other than under this Paragraph  5 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Paragraph 5 if and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Paragraph 5 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; if the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, then the Indemnified Party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.

5




 

(d)           In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) CDC, or any officer, director or controlling person of CDC, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Paragraph 5 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Paragraph 5 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of CDC or such officer, director or controlling person of CDC in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Paragraph 5; then, and in each such case, the Company and CDC will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that CDC is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) CDC will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

6.             Miscellaneous.

(a)           Remedies.  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.

(b)           Compliance.  Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(c)           Discontinued Disposition.  Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation Event (as defined below) such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Discontinuation Event” shall mean (i) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such

6




 

Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and/or (v) the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in such Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
