Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the
"Company"), agrees to issue and sell to you warrants (the "Warrants") to
purchase the number of shares of common stock (the "Common Stock"), of the
Company set forth herein, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.
1. Issuance of Warrants; Exercise Price. The Warrants, which shall
be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, shall be issued to you concurrently
with the execution hereof in consideration of the payment by you to the Company
of the sum of $0.001 cash per share of Common Stock subject to the Warrants, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. The Warrants shall
provide that you and such other holder or holders of the Warrants shall have the
right to purchase an aggregate of 84,000 shares of Common Stock for an exercise
price equal to $9.90 per share (the "Exercise Price") or $831,600 in the
aggregate. The number, character and Exercise Price of such shares of Common
Stock are subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, and the term "Common
Stock" shall mean, unless the context otherwise requires, the stock and other
securities and property receivable upon exercise of the Warrants. The term
"Exercise Price" shall mean, unless the context otherwise requires, the price
per share of the Common Stock purchasable under the Warrants as set forth in
this Section 1, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 5.
2. Notices of Record Date; Etc.. In the event of (i) any taking by
the Company of a record date with respect to the holders of any class of
securities of the Company for purposes of determining which of such holders are
entitled to dividends or other distributions (other than regular quarterly
dividends), or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire shares
of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any
other right, (ii) any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification
or recapitalization of capital stock of the Company or any transfer in one or
more related transactions of all or a majority of the assets or revenue or
income generating capacity of the Company to, or
1
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, any other entity or person,
or (iii) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution or winding up of the Company,
then and in each such event the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to each
holder of a Warrant at the time outstanding a notice specifying, as the case may
be, (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right; or (B) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation,
merger, conveyance, 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 any other class of stock or securities of the Company, or another
issuer pursuant to Section 5, receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants)
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock
or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such event. Any
such notice shall be deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, at
least ten (10) days prior to the date therein specified, and the holder(s) of
the Warrant(s) may exercise the Warrant(s) and participate in such event as a
registered holder of Common Stock, upon exercise of the Warrant(s) so held,
within the ten (10) day period from the date of mailing of such notice.
3. No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its
organizational documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms
of this Agreement or of the Warrants, but will at all times in good faith take
any and all action as may be necessary in order to protect the rights of the
holders of the Warrants against impairment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Company (a) will at all times reserve and keep available,
solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants, shares of Common
Stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants, (b) will not
increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon exercise of the
Warrants above the amount payable in respect thereof upon such exercise, and (c)
will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable stock upon
the exercise of the Warrants, or any of them.
4. Exercise of Warrants. At any time and from time to time on and
after ____________, 1998 and expiring on __________, 2002 at 5:00 p.m.,
Richmond, Virginia time, Warrants may be exercised as to all or any portion of
the whole number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Warrants by the holder
thereof by surrender of the Warrants, accompanied by a subscription for shares
to be purchased in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and by a check payable
to the order of the Company in the amount required for purchase of the shares as
to which the Warrant is being exercised, delivered to the Company at its
principal office at Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc., 000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Chairman. Upon the exercise of a Warrant in
whole or in part, the Company will within five (5) days thereafter, at its
expense (including the payment by the Company of any applicable issue or
transfer taxes), cause to be issued in the name of and
2
delivered to the Warrant holder a certificate or certificates for the number of
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock to which such holder is
entitled upon exercise of the Warrant. In the event such holder is entitled to a
fractional share, in lieu thereof such holder shall be paid a cash amount equal
to such fraction, multiplied by the Current Value of one full share of Common
Stock on the date of exercise. Certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable
by reason of the exercise of the Warrant or Warrants shall be dated and shall be
effective as of the date of the surrendering of the Warrant for exercise,
notwithstanding any delays in the actual execution, issuance or delivery of the
certificates for the shares so purchased. In the event a Warrant or Warrants is
exercised as to less than the aggregate amount of all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of all Warrants held by such person, the Company shall
issue a new Warrant to the holder of the Warrant so exercised covering the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as to which Warrants remain
unexercised.
For purposes of this section, Current Value is defined (i) in the
case for which a public market exists for the Common Stock at the time of such
exercise, at a price per share equal to (A) the average of the means between the
closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market
for 20 consecutive business days commencing 30 business days before the date of
such notice, (B) if the Common Stock is quoted on Nasdaq, at the average of the
means of the daily closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock for 20
consecutive business days commencing 30 business days before the date of such
notice, or (C) if the Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange
or The Nasdaq National Market, at the average of the daily closing prices of the
Common Stock for 20 consecutive business days commencing 30 business days before
the date of such notice, and (ii) in the case no public market exists at the
time of such exercise, at the Appraised Value. For the purposes of this
Agreement, "Appraised Value" is the value determined in accordance with the
following procedures. For a period of five (5) days after the date of an event
(a "Valuation Event") requiring determination of Current Value at a time when no
public market exists for the Common Stock (the "Negotiation Period"), each party
to this Agreement agrees to negotiate in good faith to reach agreement upon the
Appraised Value of the securities or property at issue, as of the date of the
Valuation Event, which will be the fair market value of such securities or
property, without premium for control or discount for minority interests,
illiquidity or restrictions on transfer. In the event that the parties are
unable to agree upon the Appraised Value of such securities or other property by
the end of the Negotiation Period, then the Appraised Value of such securities
or property will be determined for purposes of this Agreement by a recognized
appraisal or investment banking firm mutually agreeable to the holders of the
Warrants and the Company (the "Appraiser"). If the holders of the Warrants and
the Company cannot agree on an Appraiser within two (2) business days after the
end of the Negotiation Period, the Company, on the one hand, and the holders of
the Warrants, on the other hand, will each select an Appraiser within ten (10)
business days after the end of the Negotiation Period and those Appraisers will
determine the fair market value of such securities or property, without premium
for control or discount for minority interests. Such independent
3
Appraiser(s) will be directed to determine fair market value of such securities
or property as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
from the date of its selection. The determination by Appraiser(s) of the fair
market value will be conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement. If
there are two Appraisers, and they do not agree as to fair market value, then
fair market value shall be determined to be the average of the fair market
values as determined by each Appraiser. Appraised Value of each share of Common
Stock at a time when (i) the Company is not a reporting company under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (ii) the Common Stock is not traded in the
organized securities markets, will, in all cases, be calculated by determining
the Appraised Value of the entire Company taken as a whole and dividing that
value by the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, without premium
for control or discount for minority interests, illiquidity or restrictions on
transfer. The costs of the Appraiser(s) will be borne by the Company. In no
event will the Appraised Value of the Common Stock be less than the per share
consideration received or receivable with respect to the Common Stock or
securities or property of the same class in connection with a pending
transaction involving a sale, merger, recapitalization, reorganization,
consolidation, or share exchange, dissolution of the Company, sale or transfer
of all or a majority of its assets or revenue or income generating capacity, or
similar transaction.
5. Protection Against Dilution. The Exercise Price for the shares
of Common Stock and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants is subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Reclassifications, Etc..
In case at any time or from time to time after the date of execution of this
Agreement, the Company shall (i) take a record of the holders of Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or a distribution on
shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or other class of
securities, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, and in each such case, the
Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or
distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or
reclassification shall be adjusted in such a manner that the Exercise Price for
the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately after such event
shall bear the same ratio to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
any such event as the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event shall bear to the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.
(b) Adjustment of Number of Shares Purchasable. When any
adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price under this Section 5,
(i) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
shall be changed (upward to the nearest full share) to the number of shares
determined by dividing (x) an amount equal to the number
4
of shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to
the adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
the adjustment, by (y) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such
adjustment, and (ii) upon exercise of the Warrant, the holder will be entitled
to receive the number of shares of other securities referred to in Section 5(a)
that such holder would have received had the Warrant been exercised prior to the
events referred to in Section 5(a).
(c) Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger,
Etc.. In case of any reorganization or consolidation of the Company with, or any
merger of the Company with or into, another entity (other than a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) or in case of any
sale or transfer to another entity of the majority of assets of the Company, the
entity resulting from such reorganization or consolidation or surviving such
merger or to which such sale or transfer shall be made, as the case may be,
shall make suitable provision (which shall be fair and equitable to the holders
of Warrants) and shall assume the obligations of the Company hereunder (by
written instrument executed and mailed to each holder of the Warrants then
outstanding) pursuant to which, upon exercise of the Warrants, at any time after
the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance,
the holder shall be entitled to receive the stock or other securities or
property that such holder would have been entitled to upon consummation if such
holder had exercised the Warrants immediately prior thereto, all subject to
further adjustment as provided in this Section 5.
(d) Certificate as to Adjustments. In the event of
adjustment as herein provided in paragraphs of this Section 5, the Company shall
promptly mail to each Warrant holder a certificate setting forth the Exercise
Price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise after such
adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of facts requiring such
adjustment. Such certificate shall also set forth the kind and amount of stock
or other securities or property into which the Warrants shall be exercisable
after any adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in this Agreement.
(e) Minimum Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
certificate as to adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder shall be made if
such adjustment results in a change in the Exercise Price then in effect of less
than five cents ($0.05) and any adjustment of less than five cents ($0.05) of
any Exercise Price shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and
together with any subsequent adjustment that, together with the adjustment or
adjustments so carried forward, amounts to five cents ($0.05) or more; provided
however, that upon the exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall have made all
necessary adjustments (to the nearest cent) not theretofore made to the Exercise
Price up to and including the date upon which such Warrant is exercised.
6. Registration Rights. The Company agrees to maintain the
registration of this Warrant and the shares underlying this Warrant under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended
5
(the "Act"), by preparing and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
such amendments and supplements to the registration statement and prospectus
used in connection with the initial registration of this Warrant and the shares
underlying this Warrant as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
effective and comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the sale or
other disposition of all or a portion of this Warrant and the shares underlying
this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to
file any amendment or supplement after June 25, 2002.
7. Indemnification; Contribution.
(a) Each holder of Common Stock registered pursuant to this
Agreement will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under
the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary
prospectus, registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that (i) such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission was made in any preliminary prospectus,
registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such holder expressly for use therein, or (ii) you failed to deliver
an amendment or supplement to the prospectus that the Company made available to
you prior to the applicable date of sale of Common Stock to which the claim
relates and that corrected any statement or omission in a preliminary
prospectus, registration statement or prospectus that forms the basis for a
claim against the Company.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
Section 7(a) above of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under either such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of
the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve it from any liability that it may otherwise have to any
indemnified party. In case any such action shall be brought against any
indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof
by notice in writing to the indemnified party. After notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under either of such subsections for any legal expenses of other counsel
or any other expense, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified
party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation incurred prior to the assumption by the indemnifying party, unless
such expenses have been specifically authorized in writing by the
6
indemnifying party, the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense and
employ counsel, or the named parties to any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as appropriate, and such
indemnified party has been advised by counsel that the representation of such
indemnified party and the indemnifying party by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in
each of which cases the fees of counsel for the indemnified party will be paid
by the indemnifying party.
(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section
7(a) in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in
respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Company and the holder or holders from this Agreement and from the
offering of the shares of Common Stock. If, however, the allocation provided by
the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such
relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the holders in
connection with the statement or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company or the holder and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the holders agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(c)
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take
into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection
(c). Except as provided in Section 7(b), the amount paid or payable by an
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 7(c) shall be
deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigation or defending any such action
or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding any
provision in this Section 7(c) to the contrary, no holder shall be liable for
any amount, in the aggregate, in excess of the net proceeds to such holder from
the sale of such holder's shares (obtained upon exercise of Warrants) giving
rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities.
(d) The obligations of the holders of Common Stock under
this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability that such holders may
otherwise have and shall extend,
7
upon the same terms and conditions to each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Act.
8. Stock Exchange Listing. In the event the Company lists its
Common Stock on any national securities exchange or market, the Company will, at
its expense, also list on such exchange, upon exercise of a Warrant, all shares
of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Warrant.
9. Restrictive Legend. Executed copies of this Agreement shall be
filed in the principal office of the Company. Instruments evidencing all or
part of the Warrants shall contain the legend shown on Exhibit A until
_______________, 1998, after which time such legend may be removed at the
request of the holder thereof.
10. Successors and Assigns; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of you and the Company and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.
11. Notices. Any notice hereunder shall be given by registered or
certified mail, if to the Company, at its principal office referred to in
Section 5 and, if to the holders, to their respective addresses shown in the
Warrant ledger of the Company, provided that any holder may at any time on three
(3) days' written notice to the Company designate or substitute another address
where notice is to be given. Notice shall be deemed given and received after a
certified or registered letter, properly addressed with postage prepaid, is
deposited in the U.S. mail.
12. Severability. Every provision of this Agreement is intended to
be severable. If any term or provision hereof is illegal or invalid for any
reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remainder
of this Agreement.
13. Assignment; Replacement of Warrants. The Warrants may be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by you prior to _____________,
1998 only to bona fide officers of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, Incorporated, who in
turn shall be subject to the same restriction. If the Warrant or Warrants are
assigned, in whole or in part, the Warrants shall be surrendered at the
principal office of the Company, and thereupon, in the case of a partial
assignment, a new Warrant shall be issued to the holder thereof covering the
number of shares not assigned, and the assignee shall be entitled to receive a
new Warrant covering the number of shares so assigned. Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Warrant and appropriate bond or indemnification protection,
the Company shall issue a new Warrant of like tenor.
14. Rights of Stockholders. Until exercised, the Warrants shall not
entitle the holders thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company.
8
15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed
in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without giving
effect to the principles of choice of laws thereof.
16. Definition. All references to the word "you" in this Agreement
shall be deemed to apply with equal effect to any persons or entities to whom
Warrants have been transferred in accordance with the terms hereof, and, where
appropriate, to any persons or entities holding shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of Warrants.
17. Headings. The headings herein are for purposes of reference
only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any of the
provisions hereof.
