BRAINSTORM CELL THERAPEUTICS, INC.
Common Stock Purchase Warrant
(Void after December 13, 2008)
BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, Inc., a Washington corporation (the
"Company"), for value received, hereby certifies that Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, or its
registered assigns (the "Registered Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time or
from time to time on or after the date of issuance and on or before 5:00 p.m.
(New York time) on December 13, 2008, 200,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.00005
par value per share, of the Company, at a purchase price of $0.45 per share. The
shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the purchase price per
share, each as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this
Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the "Warrant Shares" and the "Purchase
Price," respectively.
1. Exercise.
(a) This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in
part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as
Exhibit I duly executed by the Registered Holder or by the Registered Holder's
duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such
other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in
full, in lawful money of the United States, of the Purchase Price payable in
respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.
(b) The Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to pay some or all of
the Purchase Price payable upon an exercise of this Warrant by canceling a
portion of this Warrant exercisable for such number of Warrant Shares as is
determined by dividing (i) the total Purchase Price payable in respect of the
number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon such exercise by (ii) the excess
of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock (as defined below) as of the
Exercise Date (as defined in subsection 1(c) below) over the Purchase Price per
share. If the Registered Holder wishes to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this
method of payment with respect to the maximum number of Warrant Shares
purchasable pursuant to this method, then the number of Warrant Shares so
purchasable shall be equal to the total number of Warrant Shares, minus the
product obtained by multiplying (x) the total number of Warrant Shares by (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Purchase Price per share and the
denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as
of the Exercise Date. The Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be
determined as follows:
(i) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the
Nasdaq Global Market or another nationally recognized trading system as of the
Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be deemed
to be the average of the high and low reported sale prices per share of Common
Stock thereon on the trading day immediately preceding the Exercise Date
(provided that if no such price is reported on such day, the Fair Market Value
per share of Common Stock shall be determined pursuant to clause (ii)).
(ii) If the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange,
the Nasdaq Global Market or another nationally recognized trading system as of
the Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be
deemed to be the amount most recently determined by the Board of Directors to
represent the fair market value per share of the Common Stock (including without
limitation a determination for purposes of granting Common Stock options or
issuing Common Stock under an employee benefit plan of the Company); and, upon
request of the Registered Holder, the Board of Directors (or a representative
thereof) shall promptly notify the Registered Holder of the Fair Market Value
per share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of
Directors has not made such a determination within the three-month period prior
to the Exercise Date, then (A) the Board of Directors shall make a determination
of the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock within 15 days of a
request by the Registered Holder that it do so, and (B) the exercise of this
Warrant pursuant to this subsection 1(b) shall be delayed until such
determination is made.
(c) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant
shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection 1(a) above
(the "Exercise Date"). At such time, the person or persons in whose name or
names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise
as provided in subsection 1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder
or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.
(d) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or
in part, and in any event within 10 days thereafter, the Company, at its
expense, will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the
Registered Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to
which the Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu
of any fractional share to which the Registered Holder would otherwise be
entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 3 hereof; and
(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants
(dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or
faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to
any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of
this Warrant minus the sum of (a) the number of such shares purchased by the
Registered Holder upon such exercise plus (b) the number of Warrant Shares (if
any) covered by the portion of this Warrant cancelled in payment of the Purchase
Price payable upon such exercise pursuant to subsection 1(b) above.
2. Adjustments.
2
(a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at
any time or from time to time after the date on which this Warrant was first
issued (the "Original Issue Date") effect a subdivision of the outstanding
Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that
subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time
or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before the
combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this
paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the
subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the
Company at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall
make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase
Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the
time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed,
as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Purchase
Price then in effect by a fraction:
(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such
issuance or the close of business on such record date, and
(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such
issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or
distribution;
provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend
is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed
therefor, the Purchase Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of
business on such record date and thereafter the Purchase Price shall be adjusted
pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or
distributions.
(c) Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is
required to be made in the Purchase Price pursuant to subsections 2(a) or 2(b),
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the
number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to
such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such
adjustment.
(d) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the
Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall
make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in
securities of the Company (other than shares of Common Stock) or in cash or
other property (other than cash out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), then and in each such
event provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder shall receive upon
exercise hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of the Company and/or cash and
other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive
had this Warrant been exercised into Common Stock on the date of such event and
had the Registered Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such
event to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such securities
receivable, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period
under this Section 2 with respect to the rights of the Registered Holder.
3
(e) Adjustment for Mergers or Reorganizations, etc. If there shall occur
any reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger involving the
Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities,
cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by subsections 2(a),
2(b) or 2(d)), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization,
consolidation or merger, the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise
hereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the
Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to
such reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger, the Registered
Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant. In
any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions
set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the
Registered Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 2
(including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the
Purchase Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be,
in relation to any securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable
upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
or readjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company at
its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and furnish to the Registered Holder a certificate setting
forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of
securities, cash or other property for which this Warrant shall be exercisable
and the Purchase Price) and 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 Registered Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Purchase Price then in
effect and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of
other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the
exercise of this Warrant.
3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required upon the
exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but shall make an
adjustment therefor in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per
share of Common Stock, as determined pursuant to subsection 1(b) above.
4. Requirements for Transfer.
(a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall not be sold or transferred
unless either (i) they first shall have been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or (ii) the Company first shall have been
furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Act.
4
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no registration or opinion of counsel
shall be required for (i) a transfer by a Registered Holder which is a
corporation to a wholly owned subsidiary of such corporation, a transfer by a
Registered Holder which is a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a
retired partner of such partnership or to the estate of any such partner or
retired partner, or a transfer by a Registered Holder which is a limited
liability company to a member of such limited liability company or a retired
member or to the estate of any such member or retired member, provided that the
transferee in each case agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this
Section 4, or (ii) a transfer made in accordance with Rule 144 under the Act.
(c) Each certificate representing Warrant Shares shall bear a legend
substantially in the following form:
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not
be offered, sold or otherwise transferred, pledged or hypothecated
unless and until such securities are registered under such Act or an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company is obtained to the
effect that such registration is not required."
The foregoing legend shall be removed from the certificates representing
any Warrant Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, at such time as they
become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Act.
5. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or
through reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary 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 holder of this Warrant against impairment.
6. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or
other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend
or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other
right; or
(b) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of
the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with
or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the surviving entity and its Common Stock is not converted into or
exchanged for any other securities or property), or any transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
5
(c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Company,
then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Registered Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date
for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed,
as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten days prior
to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.
7. Reservation of Stock. The Company will at all times reserve and
keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this
Warrant, such number of Warrant Shares and other securities, cash and/or
property, as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant.
8. Exchange of Warrants. Upon the surrender by the Registered
Holder, properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal office of the
Company, the Company will, subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof,
issue and deliver to or upon the order of such Holder, at the Company's
expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the
Registered Holder or as the Registered Holder (upon payment by the
Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in
the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of
Common Stock (or other securities, cash and/or property) then issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant.
9. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon
delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in
an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of
mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company
will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
10. Transfers, etc.
(a) The Company will maintain a register containing the name and address
of the Registered Holder of this Warrant. The Registered Holder may change its
or his address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company
requesting such change.
6
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, this Warrant and all
rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this
Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit II hereto)
at the principal office of the Company.
(c) Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register,
the Company may treat the Registered Holder as the absolute owner hereof for all
purposes; provided, however, that if and when this Warrant is properly assigned
in blank, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) treat the bearer
hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice
to the contrary.
11. Mailing of Notices, etc. All notices and other communications
from the Company to the Registered Holder shall be mailed by first-class
certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to the address last
furnished to the Company in writing by the Registered Holder. All notices
and other communications from the Registered Holder or in connection
herewith to the Company shall be mailed by first-class certified or
registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Company at its principal office
set forth below. If the Company should at any time change the location of
its principal office to a place other than as set forth below, it shall
give prompt written notice to the Registered Holder and thereafter all
references in this Warrant to the location of its principal office at the
particular time shall be as so specified in such notice.
12. No Rights as Stockholder. Until the exercise of this Warrant,
the Registered Holder shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue
hereof as a stockholder of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event (i) the Company effects a split of the Common Stock by means of
a stock dividend and the Purchase Price of and the number of Warrant
Shares are adjusted as of the date of the distribution of the dividend
(rather than as of the record date for such dividend), and (ii) the
Registered Holder exercises this Warrant between the record date and the
distribution date for such stock dividend, the Registered Holder shall be
entitled to receive, on the distribution date, the stock dividend with
respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise,
notwithstanding the fact that such shares were not outstanding as of the
close of business on the record date for such stock dividend.
13. Piggyback Registration Rights. The Registered Holder shall have
"piggyback registration rights" with respect to the Warrant Shares,
subject to certain limitations and conditions, including, among others,
cutback provisions and underwriter discretion, to be included by the
Company in a resale registration statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Registered Holder understands and acknowledges
that the Warrant Shares have not been registered for resale with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and until such a registration is made
and becomes effective, the Warrant Shares may not be sold or transferred
(other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or an
exemption from registration).
14. Change or Waiver. Any term of this Warrant may be changed or
waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which
enforcement of the change or waiver is sought.
7
15. Section Headings. The section headings in this Warrant are for
the convenience of the parties and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit
or restrict the contractual obligations of the parties.
16. Governing Law. This Warrant will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York (without
reference to the conflicts of law provisions thereof).
