THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey
As of November 4, 2002
NO. P-___
EpiCept Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby
certifies that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, [NAME OF
HOLDER] (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase the Warrant Share Number of
shares of Warrant Stock (both as defined below) from the Company at any time or
from time to time before the earliest of (i) the first business day following
the date of the consummation of an IPO (as defined below), (ii) 5:00 p.m. (New
Jersey time) on November 4, 2012 and (iii) the effective time of a Sale of the
Company (as defined below), for the Exercise Price (as defined below), subject
to adjustments as set forth in Sections 5 and 7.
This Third Amended and Restated Preferred Stock Purchase Warrant (this
"Warrant") is being issued in connection with the purchase by the Holder of a
Convertible Term Note (as amended and/or restated, the "Note") of the Company in
the Maximum Principal Amount (as defined in the Note) set forth on the signature
page hereto (the "Maximum Note Principal"). The Note is one of a series of notes
issued to certain investors in the aggregate maximum principal amount of
$5,000,000 (collectively, the "Convertible Notes") and this Warrant is one of a
series of related Third Amended and Restated Preferred Stock Purchase Warrants
(collectively, the "Warrants") issued in connection with the issuance of the
Convertible Notes.
1. Determination of Warrant Stock, Warrant Share Number and Warrant
Exercise Price.
(a) Warrant Stock.
(i) If the Company consummates a Qualifying Financing (as defined in
the Note), then (A) the term "Warrant Stock" shall mean shares of the new series
of convertible preferred stock of the Company ("Next Round Preferred Stock")
which is authorized and issued by the Company in connection with the Qualifying
Financing, and (B) in connection with the Qualifying Financing, the Certificate
of Incorporation (as defined below) shall be amended to authorize the Next Round
Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the shares
of the Company's common stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Common Stock")
issuable upon conversion of such Next Round Preferred Stock.
(ii) Upon an Optional Conversion Election (as defined in the Note),
the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that the Certificate of
Incorporation is amended promptly to authorize the Optional Conversion Preferred
Stock (as defined in the Note) issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes
and exercise of the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
such shares of Optional Conversion Preferred Stock, and upon the conversion of
the Note into Optional Conversion Preferred Stock, the term "Warrant Stock"
shall mean shares of the Optional Conversion Preferred Stock.
(iii) If a Sale of the Company (as defined below) is anticipated to
occur prior to a Qualifying Financing or the conversion of the Note into
Optional Conversion Preferred Stock, the term "Warrant Stock" shall mean shares
of the Company's Common Stock, unless and until a Qualifying Financing occurs or
the Note is converted into Optional Conversion Preferred Stock prior to the Sale
of the Company. If neither a Qualifying Financing nor the conversion of the Note
into Optional Conversion Preferred Stock occurs prior to the payment or
prepayment of the entire principal amount of the Note and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, the term "Warrant Stock" shall mean shares of the Company's
Common Stock. If neither a Qualifying Financing nor an Optional Conversion
Election occurs or if a Sale of the Company is anticipated, the Company shall
use its best efforts to ensure that the Certificate of Incorporation is amended
promptly to authorize the shares of Common Stock that might become issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants.
(b) Warrant Share Number. This Warrant shall be exercisable for a
number of shares of Warrant Stock (the "Warrant Share Number") as follows:
(i) If the Warrant Stock is Next Round Preferred Stock, the Warrant
Share Number shall equal 50% of the greatest principal amount that has at any
time been outstanding under the Note (the "Greatest Outstanding Amount") divided
by the Exercise Price described in Section 1(c)(i) below, such Warrant Share
Number to be rounded to the nearest whole number.
(ii) If the Warrant Stock is Optional Conversion Preferred Stock,
the Warrant Share Number shall equal 50% of the Greatest Outstanding Amount
divided by the Exercise Price described in Section 1(c)(ii) below, such Warrant
Share Number to be rounded to the nearest whole number.
(iii) Subject to Section 1(b)(iv) below, if the Warrant Stock is
Common Stock, the Warrant Share Number shall equal 50% of the Greatest
Outstanding Amount divided by the Exercise Price described in Section 1(c)(iii)
below, such Warrant Share Number to be rounded to the nearest whole number.
(iv) During the IPO Period, if the Warrant Stock is Common Stock,
the Warrant Share Number shall equal 50% of the Greatest Outstanding Amount
divided by the Exercise Price described in Section 1(c)(iv) below, such Warrant
Share Number to be rounded to the nearest whole number.
2
(c) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Warrant Stock
(the "Exercise Price") shall be as follows:
(i) If the Warrant Stock is Next Round Preferred Stock, the Exercise
Price shall be the amount per share at which the Convertible Notes are converted
into Next Round Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Note.
(ii) If the Warrant Stock is Optional Conversion Preferred Stock,
the Exercise Price shall be the amount per share at which the Convertible Notes
are converted into Optional Conversion Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of
the Note.
(iii) Subject to Section 1(c)(iv) below, if the Warrant Stock is
Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be $0.10.
(iv) During the IPO Period, if the Warrant Stock is Common Stock,
the Exercise Price shall be $0.157.
(d) IPO Period. For purposes of this Section 1, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:
(i) "IPO" shall mean a Qualified Public Offering, as such term is
defined in the Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in Section 6 below).
(ii) "IPO Period" shall mean, with respect to any proposed IPO, that
period commencing on the IPO Consideration Date and expiring on the earlier of
(i) the 1st business day following the date of the consummation of an IPO and
(ii) the IPO Termination Date.
(iii) "IPO Consideration Date" shall mean the date upon which the
Company's Board of Directors or a committee thereof selects a lead managing
underwriter or underwriters for a proposed IPO.
(iv) "IPO Termination Date" shall mean, with respect to any proposed
IPO, the earlier of (i) the Company's withdrawal of a S-1 Registration Statement
for such proposed IPO that was previously filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission and (ii) the determination, by the Board of Directors of the Company,
to abandon such proposed IPO.
2. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Mechanics of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the
registered holder hereof by surrender to the Company of this Warrant, with the
attached form of subscription agreement duly executed by such holder,
accompanied by payment equal to the aggregate purchase price for the securities
for which this Warrant is then being exercised according to Section 4 hereof.
(b) Warrant Agent. In the event that a bank or trust company is
appointed as trustee for the holder of this Warrant pursuant to Section 5(b)
hereof, such bank or trust company will have all the powers and duties of a
warrant agent appointed pursuant to Section 10 hereof and will accept, in its
own name for the account of the Company or such successor entity as may
3
be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such
successor, as the case may be, upon exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Expiration. This Warrant and the holder's rights hereunder will
expire on the earliest of (a) the first business day following the date of the
consummation of an IPO, (b) 5:00 P.M. (New Jersey time) on November 4, 2012 or
(c) the effective time of a Sale of the Company, provided, that (i) the Company
shall provide the Holder with at least twenty (20) days advance notice of any
anticipated Sale of the Company and (ii) the Holder shall be permitted to
exercise this Warrant contingent upon the effectiveness of such Sale of the
Company. If the Warrant Stock is Next Round Preferred Stock or Optional
Conversion Preferred Stock, then upon and after the Automatic Conversion
Effective Time (as defined in Section 7), the right to purchase shares of
Warrant Stock granted herein shall terminate, and this Warrant shall represent
the right to purchase shares of Common Stock, as provided in Section 7 hereof.
For purposes hereof, a "Sale of the Company" means (a) a merger, consolidation,
share exchange or other form of corporate reorganization involving the Company
in which the stockholders of the Company immediately before such merger,
consolidation, share exchange or other corporate reorganization dispose of in
excess of fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the
Company; (b) any transaction or series of related transactions in which (i) all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold, or (ii) in excess of
fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all
convertible securities) is issued transferred to any person (other than in a
Qualifying Financing); or (c) any event that would trigger payments to the
holders of any series of the Preferred Stock under Section 1(c) of Article
FOURTH of the Current Charter in the absence of the prescribed vote of the
holders of such series to the contrary.
(d) Delivery of Certificates. As soon as is practicable after any
exercise of this Warrant, the Company, at its own expense, will deliver to the
registered holder hereof one or more certificates representing the securities to
which such holder is entitled in respect of such exercise, together, in the case
of any partial exercise, with a new Warrant representing the unexercised portion
hereof.
(e) Fractional Shares. In the event that any exercise of this
Warrant would, but for the provisions of this Section 2(e), result in the
issuance of any fractional share of capital stock, then in lieu of such
fractional share the registered holder hereof will be entitled to cash equal to
the fair market value of such fractional share, as determined in good faith by
the Company's Board of Directors (with the agreement of at least one of the
directors designated by TVM Techno Venture Enterprises No. III Limited
Partnership ("TVM") or Merlin General Partner II Limited as general partner of
the Merlin Biosciences Fund L.P. and as managing partner of the Merlin
Biosciences Fund GbR ("Merlin"), provided, that designees of TVM and Merlin are
directors at such time).
4. Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price may be paid at the
holder's election either (a) by cash, certified or official bank check payable
to the order of the Company, or wire transfer to its account, or (b) by the net
issuance method as described below:
(i) If the Warrant Stock is Next Round Preferred Stock or Optional
Conversion Preferred Stock, then prior to the Automatic Conversion Effective
Time (as defined
4
in Section 7 hereof), the Company shall issue Warrant Stock under the net
issuance method in accordance with the following formula:
X = (Y)(A-B)/A
Where: X = the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to the
holder
Y = the number of shares of Warrant Stock requested to be
exercised under this Warrant
A = the current fair market value of one (1) share of Warrant
Stock
B = the Exercise Price
As used herein, the current fair market value of a share of Warrant Stock
shall mean the price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing
buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Warrant Stock, as
determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors (with the agreement
of at least one of the directors designated by TVM or Merlin, provided, that
designees of TVM and Merlin are directors at such time), unless the Company
shall become subject to a merger, consolidation or other acquisition pursuant to
which the holders of Warrant Stock receive securities and/or other property in
exchange for their Warrant Stock, in which case the fair market value of Warrant
Stock shall be deemed to be the value (determined in good faith by the Company's
Board of Directors (with the agreement of at least one of the directors
designated by TVM or Merlin, provided, that designees of TVM and Merlin are
directors at such time)) of the securities and other property received by the
holders of the Company's Warrant Stock per share of Warrant Stock pursuant to
such merger, consolidation or other acquisition.
(ii) If the Warrant Stock is Common Stock, or if this Warrant is
exercised either upon or after the Automatic Conversion Effective Time, the
Company shall issue Common Stock under the net issuance method in accordance
with the following formula:
X = (Y)(A-B)/A
Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
holder
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be
exercised under this Warrant
A = the current fair market value of one (1) share of Common
Stock
B = the Exercise Price
As used herein, current fair market value of Common Stock shall mean with
respect to each share of Common Stock:
(A) if the exercise is in connection with the Company's initial
public offering of Common Stock, and if the Company's registration statement
relating to such public
5
offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
then the initial "Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with
respect to the offering;
(B) if this Warrant is exercised after, and not in connection
with, the Company's initial public offering of Common Stock and
(1) if the Common Stock is traded on a national
securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the fair market value
shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices over a twenty-one (21)
day period ending three days before the day the current fair market value of the
Common Stock is being determined; or
(2) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national
securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market but is actively traded
over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the
closing bid and asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau (or
similar system) over the twenty-one (21) day period ending three days before the
day the current fair market value of the Common Stock is being determined;
(C) if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any
national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market or actively
traded in the over-the-counter market, the current fair market value of Common
Stock shall be the price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing
buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by
the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by
its Board of Directors, unless the Company shall become subject to a merger,
consolidation or other acquisition pursuant to which the holders of Common Stock
receive securities and/or other property in exchange for their Common Stock, in
which case the fair market value of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the value
(determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors (with the
agreement of at least one of the directors designated by TVM or Merlin,
provided, that designees of TVM and Merlin are directors at such time)) of the
securities and other property received by the holders of the Company's Common
Stock per share of Common Stock pursuant to such merger, consolidation or other
acquisition.
5. Adjustment for Reorganizations, Etc.
(a) Certain Adjustments.
(i) If the Warrant Stock is Next Round Preferred Stock or Optional
Conversion Preferred Stock, then in case at any time or from time to time prior
to the exercise of this Warrant but before the Automatic Conversion Effective
Time, the Company effects an "Extraordinary Warrant Stock Event" (as hereafter
defined), then in each such case, (A) the number of shares of Warrant Stock
purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted to the number obtained by multiplying
the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder immediately before
such Extraordinary Warrant Stock Event by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of shares of Warrant Stock outstanding (excluding treasury
stock) immediately after such Extraordinary Warrant Stock Event and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Warrant Stock outstanding
(excluding treasury stock) immediately before such Extraordinary Warrant Stock
Event, and (B) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to
6
the number obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
before such Extraordinary Warrant Stock Event by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the number of shares of Warrant Stock outstanding (excluding
treasury stock) immediately before such Extraordinary Warrant Stock Event and
the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Warrant Stock
outstanding (excluding treasury stock) immediately after such Extraordinary
Warrant Stock Event, in each case subject to further adjustment thereafter as
provided herein. The term "Extraordinary Warrant Stock Event" shall mean (x) the
issuance of additional shares of Warrant Stock as a dividend or other
distribution on outstanding Warrant Stock, (y) the subdivision of outstanding
shares of Warrant Stock into a greater number of shares of Warrant Stock, or (z)
the combination of outstanding shares of Warrant Stock into a smaller number of
shares of Warrant Stock.
(ii) In case at any time or from time to time prior to the exercise
of this Warrant but after the Automatic Conversion Effective Time, the Company
effects an "Extraordinary Common Stock Event" (as hereafter defined), then in
each such case, (A) the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder
shall be adjusted to the number obtained by multiplying the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately before such Extraordinary Common
Stock Event by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding (excluding treasury stock) immediately after such
Extraordinary Common Stock Event and the denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (excluding treasury stock)
immediately before such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, and (B) the Exercise
Price shall be adjusted to the number obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price
in effect immediately before such Extraordinary Common Stock Event by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding (excluding treasury stock) immediately before such Extraordinary
Common Stock Event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (excluding treasury stock) immediately after such
Extraordinary Common Stock Event, in each case subject to further adjustment
thereafter as provided herein. The term "Extraordinary Common Stock Event" shall
mean (x) the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or
other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (y) the subdivision of
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common
Stock, or (z) the combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock.
(iii) Subject to earlier termination of this Warrant upon a Sale of
the Company, in case at any time or from time to time prior to the exercise of
this Warrant, the Company (A) effects a capital reorganization, reclassification
or recapitalization, or (B) consolidates with or merges with or into any other
person or entity, then in each such case, the registered holder of this Warrant,
upon exercise hereof at any time after or simultaneously with the consummation
of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation or
merger, as the case may be, will receive, in lieu of the securities issuable
upon such exercise before such consummation or effective date, the other
securities, cash, and/or property 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 exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all
subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided herein.
7
(b) Appointment of Trustee for Warrant Holders Upon Dissolution. In
the event of any dissolution of the Company, the Company, prior to such
dissolution, will, at its expense, deliver or cause to be delivered the
securities, property, and/or cash receivable by the registered holder of this
Warrant after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Section 5
to a bank or trust company having its principal office in Delaware, as trustee
for the registered holder of this Warrant.
(c) Continuation of Terms. Subject to earlier termination of this
Warrant upon a Sale of the Company, upon any reorganization, consolidation or
merger referred to in this Section 5, this Warrant will continue in full force
and effect and the terms hereof will be applicable to the securities, cash,
and/or property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after or
simultaneously with the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or
merger and will be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other
securities.
6. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the
"Certificate of Incorporation") or through any reorganization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any
other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the
terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the registered holder
of this Warrant against dilution. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will take all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid
and nonassessable shares of stock upon exercise of this Warrant from time to
time.
7. Automatic Conversion of the Warrant Stock. If the Warrant Stock is Next
Round Preferred Stock or Optional Conversion Preferred Stock and at any time the
issued and outstanding shares of the Warrant Stock shall be automatically
converted into shares of Common Stock under the terms of the Certificate of
Incorporation, then upon and after the effective time of such automatic
conversion of the Warrant Stock (the "Automatic Conversion Effective Time"), the
right to purchase Warrant Stock granted herein shall terminate, and this Warrant
shall represent the right to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock
calculated as follows:
X = (Y)(Z)
Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under
this Warrant upon and after such Automatic Conversion
Effective Time
Y = the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under
this Warrant immediately prior to such Automatic
Conversion Effective Time
Z = the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of each share of Warrant Stock immediately
prior to such Automatic Conversion Effective Time
and the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock shall be a price calculated as
follows:
8
A = (B)(X)/Y
Where: A = the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock upon and
after such Automatic Conversion Effective Time
B = the Exercise Price per share of Warrant Stock immediately
prior to such Automatic Conversion Effective Time
X = the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under
this Warrant immediately prior to such Automatic
Conversion Effective Time
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under
this Warrant upon and after such Automatic Conversion
Effective Time
Thereafter, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder and the
Exercise Price per share shall be subject to adjustment for the types of events
described in Section 5 above that occur with respect to the Common Stock.
8. Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event from time to time of any
proposed or contemplated:
(a) 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 or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for,
purchase, or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property, or to receive any other right;
(b) capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, or any transfer of all or
substantially all the assets of the Company to, or any consolidation or merger
of the Company with or into, any other person or entity; or
(c) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up
of the Company;
then, and in each such event the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
registered holder of this Warrant a notice specifying (i) the date on which any
such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or
right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, or
right, or (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation, or
winding-up is anticipated to take place and the time, if any is to be fixed, as
of which the holders of record of any class or series of the Company's capital
stock or other securities will be entitled to exchange such stock or other
securities for other securities, cash, and/or other property deliverable on such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up. Such notice will be mailed at
least twenty (20) days prior to the earliest date specified in such notice on
which any such action or transaction is to be taken or consummated.
9
9. Reservation of Securities Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company
at all times and from time to time will reserve and keep available, solely for
issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, the quality and
quantities of securities from time to time issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant. If at any time the Company does not have sufficient authorized
securities to comply with the foregoing sentence, the Company promptly will take
all steps (including, without limitation, amending the Certificate of
Incorporation) necessary to provide the quality and quantity of securities
sufficient to effect the exercise in full of this Warrant.
10. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the registered
holder of this Warrant, appoint an agent having an office in Delaware for the
purpose of issuing securities upon exercise of this Warrant, exchanging or
replacing this Warrant, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such
issuance, exchange, or replacement as the case may be, will be made at such
office by such agent.
11. Transfer and Exchange of Warrant.
(a) Transfer. Subject to evidence of compliance with the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act"), and applicable state securities
laws, this Warrant may be transferred or succeeded to by any person; provided,
however, that the Company is given written notice at the time of such transfer
stating the name and address of the transferee.
(b) Exchange. Upon surrender of this Warrant for transfer or
exchange, a new Warrant or new Warrants of the same tenor and exercisable for
the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Warrant so
surrendered will be issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee or
transferees. The Company may treat the person in whose name this Warrant is
registered as the holder hereof for all purposes.
12. Compliance with Securities Act. The holder hereof, by acceptance
hereof, agrees that this Warrant is being acquired for investment for its own
account and not with a view towards its distribution and that the holder hereof
will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or shares of capital
stock of the Company issued upon exercise of this Warrant except under
circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. The holder hereof, by acceptance hereof,
represents that such holder is an "Accredited Investor" within the meaning of
Rule 501 promulgated under this Securities Act 1933, as amended.
13. Captions. The captions of sections or subsections of this Warrant are
for reference only and will not affect the interpretation or construction of
this Warrant.
14. Equitable Relief. The Company hereby acknowledges that any breach by
it of its obligations under this Warrant would cause substantial and irreparable
damage to the registered holder hereof and that money damages would be an
inadequate remedy therefor, and accordingly, acknowledges and agrees that, in
addition to any other rights and remedies to which the registered holder hereof
may be entitled in respect of any breach of such obligations, such holder will
be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and/or other equitable relief
to prevent the breach of such obligations.
10
15. Waivers. No waiver of any breach or default hereunder will be valid
unless in a writing signed by the registered holder hereof. No failure or other
delay by the registered holder hereof exercising any right, power, or privilege
hereunder will be or operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power, or privilege.
16. Governing Law. This Warrant will be governed by and interpreted and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without
reference to principles of conflicts or choice of law).
17. Supercedes Prior Warrants. This Warrant supercedes and replaces a
certain (i) Second Amended and Restated Preferred Stock Purchase Warrant (No. P-

undersigned acknowledges that the Second Amended Warrant, the First Amended
Warrant and the Original Warrant are no longer outstanding or obligations of the
