ARTICLE II
LEGEND; REMOVAL
2.1 Legends. Purchaser understands that, subject to Section 2.2
hereof, until the earlier of (a) such time as the Common Shares and Warrant
Shares acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are subject
to a permitted Disposition in accordance with the terms of Section 1.2
hereof, or (b) the Termination Date, the certificates for the Common Shares
and Warrant Shares will bear a restrictive legend (the "Stock Legend") in the
following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
ASSIGNED OR DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE LOCK-UP
AGREEMENT DATED AS OF __________, 1997 ("LOCK-UP AGREEMENT") AMONG MIRAVANT
MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES AND THE PURCHASER PARTIES THERETO. A TRUE AND CORRECT
COPY OF THE LOCK UP AGREEMENT IS AVAILABLE FROM THE COMPANY UPON REQUEST.
2.2 Removal of Legend. The Stock Legend shall be removed and the
Company shall issue a certificate without such Stock Legend to the holder
("Holder") of any Security upon which it is stamped, and a certificate for a
security shall be originally issued without the Stock Legend, if such holder
provides a certificate in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (a
"Disposition Certificate"), (a) designating the number of Securities from
which holder requests that the Stock Legend be removed and (b) certifying
that Disposition of the Securities specified in such Disposition Certificate
is permitted pursuant to Section 1.2 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 2.2 or any other Section of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Stock Legend shall be removed from all of the Common Shares and
Warrant Shares on, and shall not be placed on Warrant Shares on and after,
the Termination Date. In order to effect issuance of a certificate without
the Stock Legend a Holder shall: (a) fax (or hand deliver) a copy of the
fully executed Disposition Certificate to the Company (unless the Termination
Date has occurred) and (b) surrender the certificates representing the Common
Shares or Warrant Shares to be delegended and the original Disposition
Certificate (if applicable) as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon receipt
by the Company of the fax copy of a Disposition Certificate, the Company
shall, no later than the later of (x) the third business day following such
receipt or (y) the first business day following the date of receipt of the
certificates representing the Common Shares or Warrant Shares and the
original Disposition Certificate, issue and deliver to the Holder (or at its
direction) (i) the number of unlegended shares to be issued pursuant to the
Disposition Certificate and (ii) a certificate representing the number of
Common Shares or Warrant Shares, if any, from which the Stock Legend is not
being removed. No Disposition Certificate is required to be submitted in
connection with removal of the Stock Legend at the Termination Date. The
person or persons entitled to receive unlegended Common Shares or Warrant
Shares issuable pursuant to a Disposition Certificate under this Section 2.2
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such unlegended
shares at the close of business on the date of the Disposition Certificate
submitted with respect thereto.
2.3 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall irrevocably instruct its
transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of each
Purchaser or its nominee, for the Common Shares and Warrant Shares. Such
certificates shall bear the Stock Legend only to the extent provided by
Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above. The Company covenants that no instruction other
than such instructions referred to in this Section 2.3 (and instructions
relating to compliance with the Securities Act as provided in Section 5.2 of
the Purchase Agreement) will be given by the Company to its transfer agent
and that the Common Shares and Warrant Shares shall otherwise be freely
transferable on the books and records of the Company. On the earlier to
occur of (a) receipt by the Company of a duly executed Disposition
Certificate, or (b) the Termination Date so required by Section 2.2 the
Company shall, subject to applicable laws affecting the transfer of
securities, permit the transfer, and, promptly instruct its transfer agent to
issue within the time period specified in Section 2.2 one or more
certificates without the Stock Legend in such name and in such denomination
as specified by such Purchaser. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it
of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser by
vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby and
by the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the
remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 2 will be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Section 2, that a Purchaser shall be
entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required. In addition and not in lieu of the foregoing remedies, if
the Company fails to be issue Common Shares or Warrant Shares without the
Stock Legend within three (3) trading days of the date when such issuance is
required pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof (the "Required Issuance Date"), the
Company shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the
purchase price paid for the Common Shares and Warrant Shares required to be
issued for the first month or 30 days following the Required Issuance Date,
and three percent (3%) of said purchase price for each month or thirty (30)
days thereafter, continuing through the date the Common Shares and Warrant
Shares are issued without the Stock Legend. These payments will be prorated
on a daily basis for partial months and will be paid to the Purchaser in cash
within five (5) business days following the earlier of: (i)
the end of each month following the Required Issuance Date, or (ii) the date
of issuance of the unlegended shares.
2.4 Dispute Resolution. If there is a dispute as to Purchaser's calculation
of the number of Common Shares and Warrant Shares properly subject to a
Disposition Certificate, the Company shall proceed with the issuance of the
number of unlegended Common Shares not in dispute. The matter shall then,
within two (2) business days, be submitted by the Company to an accounting
firm mutually acceptable to the Company and Purchaser for resolution, and
such firm shall issue a determination of the proper calculation within three
(3) business days of submission. The calculation of such accounting firm
shall be final and binding on the parties. If the accounting firm determines
that any of the disputed Common Shares or Warrant Shares were not
appropriately subject to a Disposition Certificate under Section 1.2
("Non-Disposable Shares"), the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to
pay damages accruing pursuant to Section 2.3 during the dispute solely with
respect to such Non-Disposable Shares.
