WARRANT AGREEMENT
WARRANT AGREEMENT dated as of March 15, 2001, by and between IMMTECH
INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and THE XXXXXXXXX
GROUP, a sole proprietorship ("Xxxxxxxxx").
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated March 15,
2001 (the "Engagement Agreement"), between the Company and Xxxxxxxxx, the
Company retained Xxxxxxxxx to provide financial consulting, planning,
structuring, business strategy and public relations and promotion services to
the Company for an expected term of twelve (12) months.
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, the Company proposes
to issue to Xxxxxxxxx a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase, in the aggregate,
250,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common Stock"), subject to certain vesting and other provisions more
specifically set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. FORM OF WARRANT. (a) The text of the certificate
evidencing the Warrant (the "Warrant Certificate"), together with the Form of
Election to Exercise and the Form of Assignment attached there to as Attachments
A and B, respectively, shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit A attached
hereto. Until 5:00 p.m., New York time, on March 15, 2006 (the "Expiration
Date"), the Warrant shall entitle the registered holder thereof to purchase from
time to time up to an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to
adjustment as provided in this Warrant Agreement (the "Warrant Shares"), at a
purchase price of $10.75 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in this
Warrant Agreement (the "Warrant Price"), and subject to the vesting provisions
set forth below, during the period from the date of this Warrant Agreement until
the Expiration Date. The Warrant Certificate shall be dated as of the date of
this Warrant Agreement, both upon initial issuance and upon any subsequent
assignment, if any, of the Warrant.
(b) The Warrant Shares shall vest according to the following
schedule:
(1) 100,000 Warrant Shares shall vest as of the date of this
Warrant Agreement.
(2) 50,000 Warrant Shares shall vest upon the market
capitalization of the Company's Common Stock, based upon 5,955,000
shares outstanding, equaling at least $100,000,000 for a minimum of five
(5) consecutive trading days.
(3) 50,000 Warrant Shares shall vest upon the market
capitalization of the Company's Common Stock, based upon 5,955,000
shares outstanding, equaling at least $125,000,000 for a minimum of five
(5) consecutive trading days.
(4) 50,000 Warrant Shares shall vest upon the market
capitalization of the Company's Common Stock, based upon 5,955,000
shares outstanding, equaling at least $150,000,000 for a minimum of five
(5) consecutive trading days.
(5) Upon any termination of the Engagement Agreement in
accordance with its terms, any unvested Warrant Shares shall be
forfeited and shall no longer be eligible for vesting.
(6) If, by September 14, 2001, Xxxxxxxxx arranges for either (i)
a private placement or secondary offering of the Company's securities,
or (ii) a sale or merger of the Company, then at the closing of such
transaction, any unvested Warrant Shares shall vest.
(7) If Xxxxxxxxx arranges for a strategic alliance, joint
venture or a license agreement, or a sale or merger of the Company or
any of its product lines, in either case with a party introduced to the
Company by Xxxxxxxxx, then at the closing of such transaction, any
unvested Warrant Shares shall vest.
SECTION 2. REGISTRATION. The Company shall maintain records for the
registration of the Warrant and for the registration of any transfer, if any, of
the Warrant. Upon the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement by
Xxxxxxxxx, the Company shall issue to Xxxxxxxxx a Warrant Certificate to
purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock and register the Warrant in Xxxxxxxxx'x
name on the Company's records.
SECTION 3. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGES. The Company shall register the
transfer, if any, from time to time, of the outstanding Warrant to transferees
or assignees of Xxxxxxxxx, upon the records to be maintained by the Company for
that purpose pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant Agreement, upon surrender of
the related Warrant Certificate properly endorsed for transfer and accompanied
by a properly completed Form of Assignment in the form attached to the Warrant
Certificate as Attachment B. Upon each such transfer, a new Warrant Certificate
shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall
be cancelled by the Company. As a condition to effecting any such transfer, the
Company may require the transferee to confirm in writing the agreement of the
transferee to be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 3
and all other obligations of the Warrant holder set forth in this Warrant
Agreement.
SECTION 4. EXERCISE OF THE WARRANT. (a) Subject to the provisions of
this Warrant Agreement, the registered holder of the Warrant shall have the
right to purchase from the Company (and the Company shall issue and sell to each
such registered holder) prior to the Expiration Date duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free of all
preemptive rights of any shareholder and free of all taxes, liens or charges
with respect to the issuance thereof, except that the holder of the Warrant
shall pay any such tax due because any shares are issued in a name other than
such holder, upon surrender to the Company at its office in Vernon Hills,
Illinois, of the related Warrant Certificate, with the form of election to
exercise annexed thereto duly completed and executed, and upon payment to the
Company of the applicable Warrant Price for each share being purchased. Payment
of the Warrant Price shall be made by certified bank check or by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to an account
-2-
designated by the Company in writing upon request by the registered holder of
the Warrant. The Warrant may be exercised only for full shares of Common Stock
and only in amounts greater than 5,000 Warrant Shares, such number to be subject
to adjustment in the manner set forth in Section 5 hereof.
(b) In addition to the foregoing method of payment in respect of the
exercise of the Warrant set forth in the preceding subsection (a), the aggregate
Warrant Price may also be paid, at the sole option of the registered holder of
the Warrant, by either of the following methods:
(1) by delivery to the Company (or its designated agent) of an
executed irrevocable Warrant exercise form together with irrevocable
instructions to a broker-dealer or underwriter in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company to sell a sufficient portion of the shares
of Common Stock underlying the Warrant and deliver the sale proceeds
directly to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price; or
(2) by electing a "cashless" exercise in lieu of any cash
payment to the Company, by electing to receive such number of Warrant
Shares as determined below:
A = (M - P) x N
------------
M
where:
A = the number of Warrant Shares to be
received by the registered holder upon the
"cashless" exercise.
M = the fair market value of a share of Common
Stock on the date of exercise (which is the
date on which the Warrant Certificate and
attached Form of Election to Exercise are
delivered to the Company, as set forth in
subsection (a) above). If the Common Stock
is regularly quoted on a recognized U.S.
securities market, then the fair market
value of a share of Common Stock shall be
the closing price of the Common Stock on the
date of exercise; provided, however, that if
no closing price is available, then the
average of the high bid and the low asked
price on that day will be used as its fair
market value. In the absence of an
established U.S. securities market, the fair
market value shall be determined in good
faith by the Company's Board of Directors.
P = the Warrant Price.
N = the number of Warrant Shares submitted for
exercise, with the maximum number being the
-3-
number of Warrant Shares for which the
Warrant is then exercisable.
(c) Subject to Section 6 of this Warrant Agreement, upon such
surrender of the Warrant for exercise (accompanied by payment of the Warrant
Price upon exercise), the Company shall issue and deliver with all reasonable
dispatch, and in any event not later than ten (10) business days, to or upon the
written order of the registered holder of such Warrant and in such name or names
as such registered holder may designate, a certificate for the number of full
shares of Common Stock so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrant. Such
certificate shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to
be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such
shares as of the date of the due surrender of such Warrant.
SECTION 5. ADJUSTMENT TO EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK. (a) The Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares underlying
the Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set
forth:
(1) STOCK DIVIDENDS - SPLIT-UPS. If after the date hereof, the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock
dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a sub-division or a
split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the
effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such
increase in outstanding shares.
(2) AGGREGATION OF SHARES. If after the date hereof, the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation,
combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other
similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be decreased
in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(3) ADJUSTMENTS IN WARRANT PRICE. Whenever the number of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant is
adjusted, as provided in this Section 5(a), then the Warrant Price shall
be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying the Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the number of shares by a
fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of the shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the
number of the shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately
thereafter.
(4) OTHER DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If after the date hereof,
the Company pays a dividend or makes another distribution to the holders
of shares of Common Stock payable in property other than cash or shares
of Common Stock, then in each such event the number of shares of Common
Stock the registered holder of this Warrant shall receive, upon exercise
hereof, will be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock equal
to the number that results from multiplying the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior
to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the fair
market value of a share of
-4-
Common Stock (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Company) on the record date for such distribution, and (ii) the
denominator of which is the fair market value per share of Common Stock
less the value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Company) of the property so distributed on account of one share of
Common Stock. Such adjustment will be made whenever any such
distribution is made and will become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such distribution.
(5) REORGANIZATIONS, ETC. If after the date hereof, any capital
reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company
(other than covered by Sections 5(a)(1) and 5(a)(2) above), or
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the
sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or
other similar event shall be effected, then, as a condition of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale,
lawful, fair and adequate provision shall be made whereby the registered
holder of the Warrant shall thereafter have the right to purchase and
receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in
the Warrant and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company
immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of
the rights represented thereby, such shares of stock, securities, or
assets as may be issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for
the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the number
of shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented
by the Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, or sale not taken place and in such event,
adequate and appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the
rights and interests of Xxxxxxxxx to the end that the provisions hereof
(including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the
Warrant Price and of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
upon the exercise of the Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as
nearly as may be, to any share of stock, securities, or assets
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.
(b) SUPPLEMENTAL WARRANT. In case of any consolidation of the
Company with, or merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result
in any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock),
the corporation formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver
to Xxxxxxxxx a supplemental warrant providing that the holder of each Warrant
then outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the Expiration Date) to
receive, upon exercise of such supplemental warrant, the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of
the Company for which such Warrant then outstanding might have been exercised
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such
supplemental Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to
the adjustments provided in this Section 5. The above provision of this Section
shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.
SECTION 6. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company will pay any documentary
stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to pay any
-5-
tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any registration of transfer
involved in the issue or delivery of any certificates for shares of Common Stock
in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Warrant in respect of
which such shares are issued, and in such case the Company shall not be required
to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Common Stock or any Warrant
until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such
tax or has established to the Company's satisfaction that such tax has been
paid.
SECTION 7. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATE. In case the
Warrant Certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of the substitution for the
Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate
evidencing the right to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock, but
only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or
destruction of such Warrant Certificate and indemnity, if requested, also
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company. Applicants for such
substitute Warrant Certificate shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and pay such other reasonable charges (including, without
limitation, attorneys fees and expenses) as the Company may prescribe.
SECTION 8. RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company shall at all
times prior to the Expiration Date keep reserved, out of the authorized and
unissued shares of Common Stock, a number of shares sufficient to provide for
the exercise of the Warrant. The Company agrees that all shares of Common Stock
issued upon exercise of the Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of the
certificates for such shares, duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding,
fully paid and nonassessable, free from preemptive rights of any shareholder and
free of all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, except
that holder of the Warrant shall pay any such tax due because any shares are
issued in a name other than such holder. A Warrant Certificate surrendered in
the exercise of the Warrant shall be cancelled by the Company and such cancelled
Warrant Certificate shall constitute sufficient evidence of the number of shares
of the Company's Common Stock which have been issued upon the exercise of the
Warrant evidenced thereby.
SECTION 9. DEMAND REGISTRATION. (a) Xxxxxxxxx may, upon written
notice to the Company at any time following the date of this Warrant Agreement
until the Expiration Date, make one request that the Company file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, within sixty (60) days of the delivery of
such notice to the Company, a registration statement (a "Demand Registration")
on a form satisfactory to the Company to register under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Warrant Shares issued or issuable
(whether or not yet vested) by way of exercise of the Warrant ("Registrable
Securities"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Registrable Securities shall not
include any securities that may be sold by a person to the public pursuant to
Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act during any ninety (90) day period.
(b) If the Demand Registration is part of or combined with an
underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing
underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of securities
requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be
sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range reasonably
acceptable to the Company, then the Company will include in such registration
(1) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (2) second, the
Registrable
-6-
Securities requested to be included therein and any other securities requested
to be included therein by other holders entitled to request inclusion of their
securities in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable
Securities and other securities on the basis of the number of Registrable
Securities requested to be included therein and any other securities requested
to be included therein by other holders entitled to request inclusion of their
securities in such registration, and (3) third, other securities requested to be
included in such registration.
(c) If the Demand Registration is part of or combined with an
underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's Common
Stock, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion
the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds
the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a
price range reasonably acceptable to the holders initially requesting such
registration, then the Company will include in such registration (1) first, the
securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such
registration, and (2) the Registrable Securities and any other securities
requested to be included in such registration by other holders entitled to
request inclusion of their securities in such registration, pro rata among the
holders of such securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities
requested to be included therein and any other securities requested to be
included therein by other holders entitled to request inclusion of their
securities in such registration.
(d) If the number of shares of Registrable Securities actually
registered pursuant to the Demand Registration is reduced pursuant to either of
subsections (b) or (c) above from the number of shares originally requested to
be registered pursuant to subsection (a) above, then Xxxxxxxxx shall be
permitted, at any time after the date which is ten (10) days after the effective
date of the registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to or in
connection with the Demand Registration, to make another Demand Registration in
accordance with subsection (a) above for such number of shares of Registrable
Securities as was originally requested in the prior Demand Registration but
which were not actually registered; provided, however, that notwithstanding
subsection (a) above, the Company shall file such other registration statement
within twenty (20) days of the delivery to the Company of the notice by
Xxxxxxxxx requesting such other Demand Registration.
SECTION 10. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. Whenever the holders of
Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be
registered pursuant to this Warrant Agreement, the Company will use its
reasonable good faith efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such
Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition
thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will:
(a) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its
good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement
to become effective; provided, however, that before filing a registration
statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company
will furnish to the holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement copies of all such documents proposed to be filed;
(b) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the
prospectus used in
-7-
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
effective for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date of this
Warrant Agreement, and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the sellers set forth in such registration statement;
(c) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of
copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto,
and the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
preliminary prospectus) as may be reasonably requested by such seller in order
to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
seller;
(d) use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to register
or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky
laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and all
other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable in order to
enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Registrable Securities owned by such seller; provided, however, that the number
of shares of Registrable Securities to be so registered or qualified in any such
jurisdiction shall not be less than 25,000 shares, and the Company will not be
required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it
would not otherwise be required to qualify, (ii) subject itself to taxation in
any such jurisdiction, or (iii) consent to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction);
(e) promptly notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, at
any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company will prepare
a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to
the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading;
(f) use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause all
such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or on the
NASDAQ Stock Market on which shares of Common Stock issued by the Company are
then listed;
(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable
Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement;
(h) subject to obtaining a confidentiality agreement in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, make available for inspection by
any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant
or other agent retained by such seller or underwriter, all financial and other
pertinent records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company,
and cause the Company's officers, directors, employees, independent accountants
and attorneys to supply all pertinent information reasonably requested by any
such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such
registration statement; and
-8-
(i) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or
preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of
any Common Stock included in such registration statement for sale in any
jurisdiction, the Company will use its reasonable good faith efforts promptly to
obtain the withdrawal of such order.
SECTION 11. REGISTRATION EXPENSES. All expenses incurred by the
Company incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with this Warrant
Agreement, including all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of
compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and
delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and its
independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding discounts and
commissions) and other persons retained by the Company will be paid by the
Company.
SECTION 12. FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. The Company shall not be required
to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock on the exercise of the Warrant and
the Company will pay the cash value of any fractions otherwise issuable.
SECTION 13. NOTICES TO WARRANTHOLDERS. (a) Right to Receive Notice.
Nothing herein shall be construed as conferring upon Xxxxxxxxx, as a holder of
the Warrant, the right to vote or consent or to receive notice as a stockholder
for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights
whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to
the expiration of the Warrant or its exercise in full, any of the events
described in Section 13(b) below shall occur, then, in the event of one or more
of said events, the Company shall give written notice of such event at least
five (5) business days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of
closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to
such dividend, distribution, conversion or exchange of securities or
subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or
the date of the closing of the transfer books, as the case may be.
(b) Events Requiring Notice. The Company shall be required to give
the notice described in this Section 13 upon one or more of the following
events: (i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or
distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution
payable otherwise than out of retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting
treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company, or (ii)
the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock any additional
shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or
warrant to subscribe therefor, or (iii) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the Company shall be proposed, or (iv) a sale of all or substantially all of
its property, assets and business shall be proposed.
(c) Notice of Change in Warrant Price. The Company shall, promptly
after an event requiring a change in the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 5
hereof, send notice to Xxxxxxxxx of such event and change (the "Price Change

shall describe the event causing the change and the method of calculating same
in reasonable detail.
