NO. WA1- ISSUED: APRIL 8, 2004
A-1 WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
----------
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, ___________ (the
"HOLDER") is entitled to purchase from Adventrx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), [30% Coverage]_______________ (________)
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share
("COMMON STOCK"), of the Company (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof) (the
"WARRANT SHARES") at a price per share equal to Two Dollars ($2.00) (as adjusted
pursuant to Section 3 hereof) (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), subject to the provisions
and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
1. METHOD OF EXERCISE; PAYMENT.
(a) Exercise Period. The purchase right represented by this Warrant may be
exercised in whole or part by the Holder during the term of this Warrant (as set
forth in Section 9 hereof) at any time after the Commencement Date, as defined
below, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "NOTICE OF EXERCISE") duly executed) at the
principal office of the Company. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in
part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or
certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of Common
Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects
be identical with this Warrant, or at the request of the Holder, appropriate
notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder.
(b) Exercise. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall pay the
Company an amount equal to the product of (x) the Exercise Price multiplied by
(y) the total number of Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to this Warrant, by
wire transfer or certified check payable to the order of the Company or, at any
time following the first anniversary of the Warrant Date, if there is not an
effective Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) with respect to all of the Warrant Shares, then at the option
of the Holder, such amount may be paid by the surrender of a portion of shares
of Common Stock then held by the Holder or issuable upon such exercise of this
Warrant, which shall be valued and credited toward such amount due to the
Company for the exercise of the Warrant based upon the Current Market Price of
the Common Stock. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s)
representing the Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated
for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the Warrant Shares represented
thereby (and such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued)
immediately prior to the close of business on the date upon which this Warrant
is exercised.
"CURRENT MARKET PRICE" means, in respect of any share of Common Stock on
any date herein specified,
(1) if there shall not then be a public market for the Common Stock, the
higher of
(a) the book value per share of Common Stock at such date, and
(b) the value per share of Common Stock at such date as determined
in good faith by the Board,
or
(2) if there shall then be a public market for the Common Stock, the
higher of (x) the book value per share of Common Stock at such date, and (y) the
average of the daily market prices for the 10 consecutive trading days
immediately before such date. The daily market price (the "DAILY MARKET PRICE")
for each such trading day shall be (i) the closing price on such day on the
principal stock exchange (including Nasdaq) on which such Common Stock is then
listed or admitted to trading, or quoted, as applicable, (ii) if no sale takes
place on such day on any such exchange, the last reported closing price on such
day as officially quoted on any such exchange (including Nasdaq), (iii) if the
Common Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange,
the last reported closing bid price on such day in the over-the-counter market,
as furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic
Quotation System or the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., (iv) if neither such
corporation at the time is engaged in the business of reporting such prices, as
furnished by any similar firm then engaged in such business, or (v) if there is
no such firm, as furnished by any member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") selected mutually by the holder of this
Warrant and the Company or, if they cannot agree upon such selection, as
selected by two such members of the NASD, one of which shall be selected by
holder of this Warrant and one of which shall be selected by the Company.
(c) Stock Certificates. In the event of the exercise of this Warrant,
certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the
Holder within a reasonable time after exercise, but in no case later than the
date that is three business days following receipt by the Company of a Notice of
Exercise duly completed and executed.
2. STOCK FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES. All of the Warrant Shares issuable
upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance
and receipt of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable, and
free from all preemptive rights, rights of first
-2-
refusal or first offer, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance
thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant
may be exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved
for issuance a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for
the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
3. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The number and kind of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise
Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) Reclassification, Consolidation or Reorganization. In case of any
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or as a
result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a Change of
Control, as defined below) (any of which is a "REORGANIZATION TRANSACTION"), the
Company, or such successor corporation as the case may be, shall execute a new
warrant, providing that the Holder shall have the right to exercise such new
warrant, and procure upon such exercise and payment of the same aggregate
Exercise Price, in lieu of the Warrant Shares theretofore issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money
and property as would be payable for the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant as if such Warrant Shares were outstanding on the consummation
of the Reorganization Transaction. For purposes of this Warrant, the term
"CHANGE OF CONTROL" shall mean (i) any acquisition of the Company by means of
merger, acquisition, or other form of corporate reorganization in which
outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for securities or other
consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation or
its subsidiary or parent (other than a reincorporation transaction or change of
domicile) and pursuant to which the holders of the outstanding voting securities
of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or other
transaction fail to hold equity securities representing a majority of the voting
power of the Company or surviving entity immediately following such
consolidation, merger or other transaction (excluding voting securities of the
acquiring corporation held by such holders prior to such transaction) or (ii) a
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
(b) Stock Splits, Dividends and Combinations. In the event that the
Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or
shall issue a stock dividend on its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to such subdivision or to the issuance of such stock dividend shall be
proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately
decreased, and in the event that the Company shall at any time combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately
increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision,
stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.
-3-
(c) Issuance of Additional Shares.
(i) If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and after June
30, 2004, the Company shall issue or sell any shares of its Common
Stock (other than Excluded Shares (as that term is defined below),
"ADDITIONAL SHARES") in exchange for consideration in an amount per
Additional Share less than the Exercise Price at the time the
Additional Shares are issued or sold, then the Exercise Price
immediately prior to such issue or sale shall be reduced to a price
determined by dividing:
(1) an amount equal to the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale multiplied
by the then existing Exercise Price, plus (b) the consideration, if
any, received by the Company upon such issue or sale, by
(2) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such issue or sale.
(ii) The provisions of Section 3(c)(i) shall not apply to any deemed
issuance of Additional Shares for which an adjustment is provided
under Section 3(a) or 3(b). No adjustment of the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made
under Section 3(c) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock
which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other
subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any
conversion or exchange rights in any convertible securities, if any
such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of
such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such convertible
securities (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights
therefor) pursuant to Section 3(d).
For purposes of this Warrant the term "EXCLUDED SHARES" means: (i) shares of
Common Stock issuable or issued after the Closing Date to officers, employees,
consultants or directors of the Company directly or pursuant to a stock
purchase, stock option, restricted stock or other written compensation plan or
agreement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "BOARD"); (ii)
shares of Common Stock issued or issuable after the Closing Date, primarily for
non-equity financing purposes and as approved by the Board, to financial
institutions or lessors in connection with commercial credit arrangements,
equipment financings or similar transactions or to vendors of goods or services
or customers; (iii) shares of Common Stock issuable upon (a) exercise of
warrants, options, notes or other rights to acquire securities of the Company,
in each case, outstanding on the issuance date of this Warrant (the "WARRANT
DATE"), (b) conversion of shares of the Company's Preferred Stock, par value
$0.01 per share, outstanding on the Warrant Date, (c) exchange of promissory
notes issued by the Company outstanding on the Warrant Date, (iv) the Shares (as
such term is defined Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of
the Warrant Date, among the Company and the persons and entities listed on
Schedule 1 thereto (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT")); (v) the Warrants (as such term
is defined in the Purchase Agreement); (vi) capital stock or warrants or options
to purchase capital stock issued in connection with bona fide acquisitions,
mergers or similar transactions, the terms of which are approved by the Board;
-4-
shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to licensors of technology of the
Company to pay expenses, royalties or milestone payments for which the Company
is obligated under any licensing or related agreement; (viii) shares of Common
Stock issuable or issued pursuant to stock splits, stock dividends and the like,
or (ix) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by way of dividend or other
distribution on Excluded Shares.
(d) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents.
(i) If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company shall
issue or sell any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or
purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or any securities
convertible into shares of Common Stock (other than the Additional
Shares) (collectively, "COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS"), whether or not the
rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable,
and the effective price per share for which Common Stock is issuable
upon the exercise, exchange or conversion of such Common Stock
Equivalents shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the Exercise
Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3(c) on the basis that
the maximum number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to all such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have
been issued and outstanding and the Company shall have received all of
the consideration payable therefor, if any, as of the date of the
actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents. No further
adjustments to the current Warrant Price shall be made under this
Section 3(d) upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.
(ii) Upon the expiration or termination of any such Common Stock
Equivalents, the Exercise Price, to the extent in any way affected by
or computed using such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be recomputed
to reflect the issuance of the total number of shares of Common Stock
(and convertible or exchangeable securities which remain in effect)
actually issued upon the exercise, exchange or conversion of such
Common Stock Equivalents to the extent that this Warrant is then
outstanding.
(e) Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time or from time
to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common Stock, other
than the payment of dividends permitted by Section 3 or any other action
described in Section 3, then, unless such action will not have a materially
adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder, the number of shares of Common
Stock or other stock into which this Warrant is exercisable and/or the purchase
price thereof shall be adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in the
circumstances.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
or readjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company, at its expense, shall
promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms
hereof and prepare and furnish to the Holder of this Warrant a certificate
setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and
-5-
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder of this
Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate
setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Exercise Price at
the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the
amount, if any, or other property which at the time would be received upon the
exercise of Warrants owned by such Holder.
(g) Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
(i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend (other than a
cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally
available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the
jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company) or other distribution,
or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities
or property, or to receive any other right, or
(ii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any
sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the
property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation,
or
(iii) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (i)
at least 10-days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall
be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights
to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, at least 10-days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take
place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify
(i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount
and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any
such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to the
Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company
and delivered in accordance with Section 11(d).
(h) Adjustment if Registration Statement Not Effective. If a Registration
Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the
Warrant Date, among the Company and the persons and entities listed on Schedule
1 thereto (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS
-6-
AGREEMENT")) is not effective with respect to all the Registrable Securities (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), other than Regisrtable Securities
held by holders (i) which have not complied with the Registration Rights
Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 4 thereof, or (ii) have
otherwise not permitted the Company to include such Registrable Securities on
the Registration Statement, on or prior to November 12, 2004, then the Exercise
Price shall be adjusted to equal $1.50 (subject to adjustment for stock splits,
reverse splits, stock dividends and the like, and subject to adjustment in
proportion to any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(c)).
4. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. This Warrant may only be transferred in compliance with
federal and state securities laws; provided, however, that the Company may
withhold its consent to transfer or assignment of this Warrant to any person or
entity who is deemed to be a competitor or prospective competitor of the
Company, such determination to be made in the reasonable judgment of the Board.
If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer
of this Warrant or the resale of the Warrant Stock, this Warrant or the Warrant
Stock, as applicable, shall not be registered under the Securities Act, the
Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the
Holder or transferee of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock as the case may be,
furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably
acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer may be made without
registration under the Securities Act, (ii) that the Holder or transferee
execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance
acceptable to the Company and substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B
hereto and (iii) that the transferee be an "accredited investor" as defined in
Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. Transfer of this Warrant and
all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for
such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company or the office or agency designated by the Company, together with a
written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto
duly executed by the Holder or its attorney-in-fact and funds sufficient to pay
any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender
and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned,
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Following a transfer that complies
with the requirements of this Section 4, the Warrant may be exercised by a new
Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock regardless of whether the
Company issued or registered a new Warrant on the books of the Company. This
Section 4 shall survive the exercise or expiration of the Warrant.
5. CONDITIONS TO EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Each certificate evidencing the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend substantially in the
following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT
BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED
-7-
UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND
SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES,
SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS
IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.
(b) REMOVAL OF LEGEND AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Any legend endorsed on a
certificate pursuant to this Section 5 shall be removed, and the Company shall
issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such Warrant Shares if
(i) such Warrant Shares are resold pursuant to a registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and a prospectus meeting the
requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act is delivered or deemed
delivered to the purchaser of such Warrant Shares, (ii) if such holder satisfies
the requirements of Rule 144(k) or (iii) if such holder provides the Company
with an opinion of counsel for such holder of the Warrant Shares, reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that a sale, transfer or assignment
of such Warrant Shares may be made without registration. This paragraph shall
survive any exercise of this Warrant.
(c) RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE AMOUNT. Unless a Holder delivers to the
Company irrevocable written notice (x) prior to the date of issuance hereof or
61 days prior to the effective date of such notice that this Section 5(c) shall
not apply to such Holder or (y) prior to a Change of Control, the Holder may not
acquire a number of Warrant Shares to the extent that, upon such exercise, the
number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its
affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of
Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"),
(including shares held by any "group" of which the Holder is a member, but
excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or
rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert,
exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) exceeds 9.99%
of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and
outstanding. For purposes hereof, "group" has the meaning set forth in Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities Exchange
Commission (the "COMMISSION"), and the percentage held by the holder shall be
determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act. Each delivery of a notice of exercise by a Holder will constitute
a representation by such Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth
in this paragraph and determined, based on the most recent public filings by the
Company with the Commission, that the issuance of the full number of Warrant
Shares requested in such notice of exercise is permitted under this paragraph.
6. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection
with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company
shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise Price then in
effect.
7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Holder shall have the registration rights described
in the Registration Rights Agreement.
8. RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS. No Holder shall be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to
vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Warrant Shares or any other
securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise
hereof for any purpose, nor shall
-8-
anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder any of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of
directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof,
or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any
recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par
value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive dividends
or subscription rights or otherwise with respect to the Warrant Shares until
this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Warrant Shares purchasable upon
the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
9. TERM OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall become exercisable on the Warrant Date
and shall no longer be exercisable as of the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m., San
Diego, California local time, on the date that is the five-year anniversary of
the Warrant Date; and (ii) upon consummation of a Change of Control.
10. REDEMPTION AT COMPANY'S ELECTION. The Company may at the option of the
Board, by at least seven-days' prior written notice to the Holder (the
"REDEMPTION NOTICE"), redeem this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time
after June 30, 2004, provided that (i) the Daily Market Price for twenty
consecutive trading days is equal to or greater than the product of (x) 2
multiplied by (y) the Exercise Price, (ii) either (A) all of the Warrant Shares
underlying this Warrant to be redeemed are then registered under an effective
registration statement or (B) may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during a
three-month period without registration under the Securities Act, (iii)
sufficient shares of Common Stock of the Company are authorized and reserved for
issuance upon the full exercise of this Warrant, (iv) all of the Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are then listed on every stock exchange,
market or bulletin board on which any Common Stock of the Company is then listed
and (v) the Company is not in default of any material provision of any
Transaction Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Redemption
Notice shall set forth a date, not less than seven days after the date of the
Redemption Notice, on which the redemption of this Warrant shall occur (the
"REDEMPTION DATE"). On the Redemption Date, (i) the Company shall pay the Holder
by certified check an amount equal to the product of (x) $0.01 (as adjusted in
proportion to any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 3 hereof)
multiplied by (y) the number of Warrant Shares so redeemed; and (ii) the Holder
shall deliver the original copy of this Warrant marked "REDEEMED" to the
Company. If the Company shall redeem this Warrant in part, the Company shall, at
the Redemption Date, provided that the Holder shall have delivered the original
copy of this Warrant marked "REDEEMED" to the Company, deliver to the Holder a
new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unredeemed
shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in
all other respects be identical with this Warrant. Nothing in this Section 10
shall prevent the exercise of the Warrants at any time prior to the Redemption
Date.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.

be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

been notified in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11(d).
(e) This Warrant constitutes the full and entire understanding and
agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof.
(f) Upon 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, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement
reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any
such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at
the Holder's expense will execute and deliver to the holder of record, in lieu
thereof, a new Warrant of like date and tenor.
