OF
AMPLIPHI BIOSCIENCES CORPORATION

 

NO.  CW-[] December [], 2011

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received by AMPLIPHI BIOSCIENCES CORPORATION, a Washington corporation (the “Company”), [________________] or its permitted registered assigns (“Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, at any time or from time to time after the issuance date of this Warrant (the “Effective Date”), and before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on December [], 2016 (the “Expiration Date”), to purchase from the Company, [] shares of common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”) of the Company at a price per share equal to $[] (the “Purchase Price”). Both the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment and change as provided herein.

 

1.            CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. As used in this Warrant the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

 

1.1           “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date shall mean:

 

(a)          If traded on a securities exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock of the Company on such exchange or market over the five (5) trading days ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation;

 

(b)          If actively traded over-the-counter, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the thirty (30)-day period ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation; and

 

(c)          If there is no active public market, the Fair Market Value shall be the value thereof, as agreed upon by the Company and the Holder; provided, however, that if the Company and the Holder cannot agree on such value, such value shall be determined by an independent valuation firm experienced in valuing businesses such as the Company and jointly selected in good faith by the Company and the Holder. Fees and expenses of the valuation firm shall be paid for in equal proportions by the Company and the Holder.

 

 1. 

 

 

1.2           “Registered Holder” shall mean any Holder in whose name this Warrant is registered upon the books and records maintained by the Company.

 

1.3           “Warrant” as used herein, shall include this Warrant and any warrant delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.

 

1.4           “Common Stock” shall mean the Common Stock of the Company and any other securities at any time receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

2.            EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

2.1          Payment. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant and applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, on or before the Expiration Date by the delivery (including, without limitation, delivery by facsimile) of the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly executed by the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, and as soon as practicable after such date, surrendering

 

(a)          this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, and

 

(b)          payment, (i) in cash (by check) or by wire transfer, (ii) by cancellation by the Holder of indebtedness of the Company to the Holder; or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii), of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise by the then effective Purchase Price (the “Exercise Amount”).

 

2.2          Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of the payment methods set forth in Section 2.1(b) above, the Holder may elect to exchange all or some of this Warrant for shares of Common Stock equal to the value of the amount of the Warrant being exchanged on the date of exchange. If Holder elects to exchange this Warrant as provided in this Section 2.2, Holder shall tender to the Company the Warrant for the amount being exchanged, along with written notice of Holder’s election to exchange some or all of the Warrant, and the Company shall issue to Holder the number of shares of the Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)

    A

 

Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.
  Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the amount of the Warrant being exchanged (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
  A = the Fair Market Value of one share of the Common Stock on the date that the relevant Notice of Exercise is received by the Company.
  B = Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

2.3          Stock Certificates; Direct Registration; Fractional Shares. As soon as practicable on or after the date of any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share equal to such fraction of the current Fair Market Value of one whole share of Common Stock as of such date of exercise. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of providing a stock certificate pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Holder may request that the Company provide the securities in book-entry (uncertificated form) if, at such time, the Company is direct registration eligible.

 

 2. 

 

 

2.4           Partial Exercise; Effective Date of Exercise. In case of any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above. The person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the date the Holder is deemed to have exercised this Warrant.

 

3.           VALID ISSUANCE; TAXES. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the Company shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the issue or delivery thereof. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any certificate for shares of Common Stock in any name other than that of the Registered Holder of this Warrant, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate or security until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.

 

4.           ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment upon occurrence of the following events:

 

4.1           Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Subdivisions or Combinations of Shares. The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally increased to reflect any stock split or subdivision of the Company’s Common Stock. The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally increased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally decreased to reflect any combination of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

4.2           Adjustment for Dividends or Distributions of Stock or Other Securities or Property. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) payable in (a) securities of the Company or (b) assets (excluding cash dividends), then, in each such case, the Holder of this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such dividend or other distribution, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such date, and without the payment of additional consideration therefor, the securities or such other assets of the Company to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such date if such Holder had exercised this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and all such additional securities or other assets distributed with respect to such shares as aforesaid during such period giving effect to all adjustments called for by this Section 4.

 

 3. 

 

 

4.3           Reclassification. If the Company, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change, and the Purchase Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.3 upon any conversion or redemption of the Common Stock which is the subject of Section 4.5.

 

4.4           Adjustment for Capital Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation. In case of any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company then, and in each such case, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Purchase Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

4.5           Conversion of Common Stock. In case all or any portion of the authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are redeemed or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the “Termination Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date, the securities or property that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the Common Stock received thereupon had been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant. Additionally, the Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate Purchase Price of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Termination Date by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

 4. 

 

 

5.          CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment in the Purchase Price, or number or type of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Chief Financial Officer or Controller of the Company shall compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, including a statement of the adjusted Purchase Price. The Company shall promptly send (by facsimile and by either first class mail, postage prepaid or overnight delivery) a copy of each such certificate to the Holder.

 

6.          LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

 

7.          RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company hereby covenants that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or state securities laws. Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to the Company’s Officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

8.          TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and compliance with all applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred to any Registered Holder’s parent, subsidiary or affiliate, or, if the Registered Holder is a partnership, to any partner of such Registered Holder, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company maintained for such purpose at the principal office of the Company referred to above, by the Registered Holder hereof in person, or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. Upon any permitted partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to the Registered Holder a new Warrant or Warrants with respect to the shares of Common Stock not so transferred. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed, the person in possession of this Warrant may be treated by the Company, and all other persons dealing with this Warrant, as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that until a transfer of this Warrant is duly registered on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the Registered Holder hereof as the owner for all purposes.

 

 5. 

 

 

9.           RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) covering the disposition or sale of this Warrant or the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof, as the case may be, and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, such Holder will not sell, transfer, pledge, or hypothecate any or all of this Warrant or such Common Stock, as the case may be, unless either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such registration is not required in connection with such disposition or (ii) the sale of such securities is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144.

 

10.          COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder hereby represents, warrants and covenants that he/she/it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D, that any shares of stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be acquired for investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof; that the Holder has had such opportunity as such Holder has deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the Company such information as is necessary to permit the Holder to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in the Company; that the Holder is able to bear the economic risk of holding such shares as may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period; that the Holder understands that the shares of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant will not be registered under the Securities Act (unless otherwise required pursuant to exercise by the Holder of the registration rights, if any, granted to the Registered Holder) and will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144, in its current form, under the Securities Act and that all stock certificates representing shares of stock issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant or upon conversion of such shares may have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

11.          REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

11.1       Definitions. For purposes of this Section 11:

 

(a)          Registration. The terms “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement

 

 6. 

 

 

(b)          Registrable Securities. The term “Registrable Securities” means: (1) any Common Stock of the Company issued or to be issued upon exercise of the Warrant and (2) any shares of Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, any shares of Common Stock described in clause (1) of this subsection (b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Registrable Securities” shall exclude any Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which rights under this Section 11 are not assigned in accordance with this Warrant or any Registrable Securities sold in a public offering, whether sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or in a registered offering, or otherwise.

 

(c)          Registrable Securities Then Outstanding. The number of shares of “Registrable Securities then outstanding” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that are Registrable Securities and (1) are then issued and outstanding or (2) are then issuable pursuant to an exercise of the Warrant or pursuant to conversion of securities issuable pursuant to an exercise of the Warrant.

 

(d)          Holder. For purposes of this Section 11, the term “Holder” means any person owning of record Registrable Securities or any permitted assignee of record of such Registrable Securities to whom rights under this Section 11 have been duly assigned in accordance with this Warrant.

 

(e)          SEC. The term “SEC or Commission” means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

11.2       Piggyback Registrations.

 

(a)          The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

 7. 

 

 

(b)          If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 11.2 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting (including a market stand-off agreement of up to 180 days if required by such underwriters). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall include in such offering (i) first, all the securities the Company proposes to register for its own account, and (ii) second, Holder’s Registrable Securities and other shares of Common Stock of the Company requested to be included by other investors having written registration rights agreements with the Company respecting such shares (“Other Registrable Securities”), with Holder and each such investor proposing to sell such shares participating in such registration on a pro rata basis, such participation to be based upon the number of shares of Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities then held by the Holder and each such investor, respectively; provided, however, that the right of the underwriters to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that all shares that are not Registrable Securities or Other Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee or officer of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities are so excluded. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder that is a partnership, the Holder and the partners and retired partners of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons, and for any Holder that is a corporation, the Holder and all corporations that are affiliates of such Holder, shall be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

 

12.          NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS STOCKHOLDERS. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In the absence of affirmative action by such Holder to purchase Common Stock by exercise of this Warrant or Common Stock upon conversion thereof, no provisions of this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof shall cause such Holder hereof to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose.

 

13.          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Holder that:

All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for (a) the authorization, execution and delivery of, and the performance of all obligations of the Company under, this Warrant, and (b) the authorization, issuance, reservation for issuance and delivery of all of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, has been duly taken.
