Whereas, Borrower seeks funds in a total amount of $4,000,000 or such other amount as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Aggregate Total Amount”) as convertible loans on the terms set forth in this Agreement (“Convertible Financing Loans”) from various lenders including Lender (all such lenders, including Lender, providing Convertible Financing Loans to Borrower on terms similar to those of this Agreement, shall be referred to collectively as “Convertible Financing Lenders”); and
Whereas, Borrower desires to borrow the amount set forth on the signature page hereunder from Lender for the purposes specified in Section 3 below; and
Whereas, Lender is willing to lend such sum to Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Loan. Lender shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall borrow from Lender the principal amount set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Loan”). The Loan shall be delivered to Borrower by deposit in any of the Borrower’s bank accounts listed in Exhibit A within 7 days from the date of execution of this Agreement.
2. Interest. The Loan shall bear interest on its outstanding principal amount in US Dollars, at a per annum rate equal to eight percent (8.0%), compounded annually (“Interest”). Interest shall accrue and not be payable until the Loan is converted pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 below. The principal amount of the Loan together with accrued Interest is hereinafter referred as the “Loan Amount”.
3. Use of Proceeds. Borrower undertakes that the entire amount of the Loan shall be used to fund Borrower’s, acquisition of products, research and development activities and general working capital.
4. Mandatory Conversion.
| (a) | Unless previously converted, in the event that at any time following the funding of the Loan hereunder and prior to December 31, 2011, Borrower shall close an equity investment, or series of related equity investments, in a minimum aggregate amount of Three Million US Dollars ($3,000,000) (excluding conversion of the Loan) (the “Financing Round”), the entire outstanding Loan Amount shall automatically convert into shares of the class of equity securities of Borrower issued in the Financing Round on the same terms as the Financing Round but at a price per share which shall be equal to seventy percent (70%) of the price per share paid by the investors in the Financing Round (the “Lender Price Per Share”) and Borrower shall issue to Lender the number of shares of the class of equity securities issued in the Financing Round ("Financing Conversion Shares") as is obtained by dividing (i) the outstanding Loan Amount as of the closing date of the Financing Round by (ii) the Lender Price Per Share. In the event that the Financing Round is achieved through a series of equity financings and the transactions consummated in such equity financings are not on identical terms and conditions or involve the issuance of more than one type of securities, then Lender shall be entitled to the most favorable class or series of equity securities issued in such financing and/or the most favorable terms and conditions. |
| (b) | Unless previously converted, on December 31, 2011 the Loan Amount shall be automatically converted into the class of equity securities of Borrower having the most seniority in terms of distribution of assets upon liquidation, outstanding at such time (the “Senior Conversion Shares”), at a price per share reflecting a pre-money valuation of Borrower (on a fully-diluted basis) of Seven Million US Dollars ($7,000,000) and Borrower shall issue to Lender the number of Senior Conversion Shares determined by dividing the outstanding Loan Amount by the product of (i) Seven Million US Dollars ($7,000,000) divided by (ii) the aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of equity securities of Borrower, on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis. |
| (c) | Unless previously converted, immediately prior to the consummation of: (i) a consolidation or merger of Borrower with or into any person (other than an affiliate of Borrower) or pursuant to which the outstanding equity of Borrower is converted into cash, securities or other property, in each case other than a transaction in which the shareholders of Borrower prior to the transaction will hold more than 50% of the voting securities (on an as-converted basis) of the surviving entity after the transaction; (ii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of Borrower’s assets to any person, other than an affiliate of Borrower; or (iii) a transaction in which any person or related group (other than Borrower and/or its affiliates) acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding shares, or more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of Borrower; (each of the transactions in clauses (i)-(iii), a “Change in Control Transaction”), then immediately prior to the closing or effectiveness of the Change in Control Transaction the outstanding Loan Amount shall be converted into Ordinary Shares of Borrower (the “Change in Control Conversion Shares”) at a price per share equal to 70% of the price per share in the Change in Control Transaction determined as follows: (A) in respect of a Change in Control Transaction described in clause (c)(i) above, the price per share shall be the aggregate consideration actually to be distributed to and received by the shareholders of Borrower in the Change in Control Transaction, divided by the aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of equity securities of Borrower, on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis, participating in such distribution; (B) in respect of a Change in Control Transaction described in clause (c)(ii) above, the price per share shall be the aggregate consideration available for distribution to the holders of the equity securities of Borrower as a result of the Change in Control Transaction, as determined by the board of directors of Borrower, divided by the aggregate number of issued and outstanding equity securities of Borrower, on a fully diluted and as-converted basis, eligible to participate in such distribution and (C) in respect of a Change in Control Transaction described in clause (c)(iii) above the price per share shall be the price per share in such Change in Control Transaction. The value of securities or other payments-in-kind, if any, distributed to the holders of shares shall be determined by the board of directors of Borrower, in its sole discretion. |
| 2 |
| (d) | Unless previously converted, immediately prior to the consummation of an initial public offering by Borrower of its shares pursuant to an effective registration statement, prospectus or similar document under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under the Israeli Securities Law of 1968 or any equivalent law of another jurisdiction (“IPO”), the outstanding Loan Amount shall be converted into Ordinary Shares of Borrower (the “IPO Conversion Shares”) at a price per share equal to 70% of the price per share in the IPO (for the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that in the event the IPO is conducted on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) the outstanding Loan Amount shall be converted into Ordinary Shares of Borrower at a price per share equal to 70% of the minimum price per share determined in the Company's Prospectus (including any complimentary notice, as applicable). In the event that that the securities of Borrower offered in the IPO consist of “units” comprising Ordinary Shares and other securities, then the price per share in the IPO shall be the effective price per share as part of the unit as published in the Company's Prospectus or as determined by the board of directors of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that in the event the IPO is conducted on the TASE, the effective price per share shall be calculated in accordance with the TASE's rules and regulations. In any other event the effective price per share shall be calculated based on the Black-Scholes model. |
| (e) | In the event that the Lender Price Per Share, the price per share in a Change in Control Transaction or the price per share in an IPO is expressed in any currency other than US Dollars, conversion of the Loan Amount shall be in accordance with the rate of exchange last published by the Bank of Israel and known at the time of consummation of the relevant transaction and in the event of an IPO on the TASE on the date of publication of the Company's Prospectus. |
| (f) | Lender acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a public offering of the Company’s securities any securities issued to Lender upon conversion of the Loan Amount may be subject to a lock-up period. |
| (g) | It is agreed that in no event shall the price per share paid by Lender for the shares upon conversion in accordance with this Section 4 (the “Conversion Price Per Share”) exceed a price per share reflecting a pre-money valuation of Borrower (on a fully-diluted basis) of Twelve Million US Dollars ($12,000,000). |
| (h) | Upon conversion of the Loan Amount as aforesaid, the Loan and all Interest accrued thereon shall be deemed fully repaid, and the issuance of the Financing Conversion Shares, Change in Control Conversion Shares, IPO Conversion Shares or the Senior Conversion Shares, as the case may be, shall be deemed as full and complete satisfaction of all Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and Lender shall have no further rights under this Agreement or with respect to the Loan and Interest accrued thereon. |
(i) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby expressly agreed that each of the conversion events described in paragraphs (a) through (d) this Section 4 is independent of each other such event and the Loan Amount shall be subject to conversion upon achievement of the conditions set forth in any of such paragraphs.
| 3 |
5. Grant of Warrant. Upon conversion of the Loan Amount, Borrower shall grant Lender a warrant substantially in the form of the Warrant Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrant”) to purchase additional Financing Conversion Shares, Change in Control Conversion Shares, IPO Conversion Shares or Senior Conversion Shares, as the case may be.

7. Representations and Warranties of Lender. Lender hereby represents and warrants to Borrower as follows:
| (a) | Organization. If other than an individual, Lender is duly organized, properly registered and validly existing under the law of the jurisdiction of its organization. No proceeding or resolution for bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, appointment of a receiver and/or similar proceeding has been instituted or taken by Lender, and, to the best of Lender knowledge, no such proceeding has been instituted or threatened against Lender. |
| (b) | Authority.

| (d) | Investment Experience. Lender is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage, and is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its grant of the Loan to Borrower as a company in the research and development stage.

Lender understands that the Financing Conversion Shares, Change in Control Conversion Shares, IPO Conversion Shares or Senior Conversion Shares to be issued hereby have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Lender's representations as expressed herein. |

THE WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WAARANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), THE ISRAELI SECURITIES LAW OF 1968 (THE “SECURITIES LAW”) OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT, THE SECURITIES LAW AND SUCH STATE LAWS, THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT, THE SECURITIES LAW AND SUCH STATE LAWS.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES
RedHill Biopharma Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Company”), hereby grants to _________________________ (the “Holder”), the right to purchase from the Company such number and class of shares of the Company, set forth below, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. The parties acknowledge that this Warrant is granted in connection with the conversion of a loan extended by Holder to the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Convertible Loan Agreement dated [ ], 2010 (the “Loan” and the “Loan Agreement”, respectively). Unless otherwise required by the context, all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
1. Number of Shares Available for Purchase and Exercise Price
This Warrant may be exercised to purchase up to that number of shares of the Company of the class determined as provided below (the “Warrant Shares”) equal to $[ ],000, which is equal to thirty percent (30%) of the original principal amount of the Loan (without any interest or linkage), divided by the Warrant Price (as defined below). For the purposes of this Warrant, the class of shares comprising the Warrant Shares shall be the class comprising the Financing Conversion Shares, Change in Control Conversion Shares, IPO Conversion Shares or Senior Conversion Shares (as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement), as the case may be, issued to the Holder in connection with the conversion of the Loan and shall be referred to as the “Conversion Class of Shares”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after immediately prior to the consummation of an IPO (as defined in the Loan Agreement), the outstanding Conversion Class of Shares shall be Ordinary Shares of the Company.
The exercise price for each Warrant Share (the “Warrant Price”) shall be calculated as follows: (i) in the event Holder exercises this Warrant within six (6) months following the Conversion Event (as such term is defined in Section 5 of the Loan Agreement) (the “Initial Exercise Period”), the Warrant Price shall be equal to 130% of the Conversion Price Per Share (as defined in the Loan Agreement) at which the Loan was converted in the Conversion Event; (ii) in the event Holder exercises this Warrant within six (6) months following the end of the Initial Exercise Period (the “Second Exercise Period”), the Exercise Price shall be equal to 140% of the Conversion Price Per Share at which the Loan was converted in the Conversion Event; and (iii) in the event Holder exercises the Warrant following the end of the Second Exercise Period, the Exercise Price shall be equal to 150% of the Conversion Price Per Share at which the Loan was converted in the Conversion Event.
| 12 |
2. Term
This Warrant may be exercised, in whole, or in part (subject to Section 4 below), during the period beginning on the date of the Conversion Event and ending on the earlier to occur of: (a) thirty-six (36) months following the date of closing under the Loan Agreement or (b) a Change in Control Transaction (as defined in the Loan Agreement) (the “Exercise Period”).
3. Exercise of Warrant
This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part on any number of occasions during the Exercise Period. The Warrant may be exercised by the surrender of the Warrant to the Company at its principal office together with the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder. This Warrant may be exercised for cash only. To exercise, the Notice of Exercise must be accompanied by payment in full of the amount of the aggregate Warrant Price payable for the Warrant Shares being purchased upon such exercise in immediately available funds, in U.S. Dollars or NIS equivalent thereof, based on the representative rate of exchange last published by the Bank of Israel and known at the time of payment.
The Company agrees that the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and that the Holder shall be deemed the record owner of such Warrant Shares as of and from the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall be surrendered, together with payment in full as required above. In the event of a partial exercise, the Company shall concurrently issue to the Holder a replacement Warrant on the same terms and conditions as this Warrant, but representing the number of Warrant Shares remaining after such partial exercise.
4. Fractional Shares
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, and the number of Warrant Shares issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
5. Warrant Confers No Rights of Shareholder
Except as otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the Holder shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company with regard to the Warrant Shares prior to actual exercise of this Warrant resulting in the purchase of Warrant Shares and the issuance of such shares.
| 13 |
6. Investment Representation
Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant have been, as of the date hereof, registered under the 1933 Act, the Securities Law or any other securities laws. The Holder agrees that any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be acquired for investment and not with a view to distribution and such Warrant Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act, the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and that such Warrant Shares may have to be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered or qualified under the 1933 Act, the Securities Law and applicable state or foreign securities laws, or based on an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that an exemption from such registration and qualification is available. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, consents to the placement of legend(s) on all securities hereunder as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the 1933 Act and the Securities Law, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the 1933 Act and the Securities Law. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares
7. Adjustment.
The number and kind of securities purchasable initially upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events during the Exercise Period, as follows:
| a. | Adjustment for Shares Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period effects a subdivision of the Conversion Class of Shares, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the subdivision shall be proportionately increased and conversely, if the Company at any time or from time to time combines the outstanding Conversion Class of Shares, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the combination shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 7(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. |
| b. | Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the shares of the Conversion Class of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant are changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of shares, whether by recapitalization, conversion, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or shares dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this Section), then and in any such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant into the kind and amount of shares and other securities receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the number of shares of the Conversion Class of Shares for which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein and under the Company’s Articles of Association. |
| 14 |
| c. | Reorganization Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period there is a capital reorganization of the Conversion Class of Shares (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Subsection), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s shares or properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, then, as a part of such reorganization, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale to which a holder of the shares of the Conversion Class of Shares deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case (except to the extent any cash or property is received in such transaction), appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Subsection and the Company’s Articles of Association with respect to the rights of the Holder after the reorganization merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Subsection and the Company’s Articles of Association (including adjustment of the number of shares of the Conversion Class of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be practicable. |
| d. | Adjustment of Warrant Price. Upon each relevant adjustment in the number of the Conversion Class of Shares purchasable hereunder, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be, in a manner that is the inverse of the manner in which the number of the Conversion Class of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted. |
| e. | Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 7, the Company shall provide the Holder with a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment. |
8. Transfer
The transfer of this Warrant shall be restricted in the same manner as the transfer of shares of the Conversion Class of Shares is restricted by the provisions of the Articles of Association. Without derogating from the foregoing, following the initial public offering of the shares of the Company, the transfer of this Warrant shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company's board of directors. In the event of a public offering of the Company’s securities the Warrant Shares issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant may be subject to a lock-up period along with the other shareholders of the Company.
