WARRANT EXERCISE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
This Warrant Exercise Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of May [ ], 2017, is by and between Bio-Path Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned holder (the “Holder”) of a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issued by the Company, which warrant is exercisable at an exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) of $[ ] per share (the “Original Warrant”).
WHEREAS, the Holder’s Original Warrant is exercisable into a number of shares of Common Stock as set forth on the Holder’s signature page hereto (the “Warrant Shares”);
WHEREAS, the Holder wishes to exercise all or a portion of such Original Warrant as set forth herein (but not to the extent an exercise exceeds such Holder’s Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined in the Original Warrant)) and, immediately prior to such exercise and in consideration of the Holder’s exercise of such Original Warrant, the Company has agreed to issue the Holder, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such exercising Holder is entitled, a new warrant in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “New Warrant”). The shares of Common Stock underlying the New Warrant are referred to herein as the "New Warrant Shares" and collectively with the New Warrant, the "Securities". The number of shares of Common Stock underlying the New Warrant shall be as determined pursuant to Section 2.1(c).
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Holder and the Company agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
Section 1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Warrant or, to the extent such terms are not defined in the Original Warrant, in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of June 29, 2016, by and among the Company and the purchasers identified on the signature page thereto (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), as applicable.
ARTICLE II
EXERCISE OF EXISTING WARRANT
Section 2.1 Exercise of Original Warrant.
(a) The Company and the Holder hereby agree that the Holder shall immediately exercise the Original Warrant with respect to the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the Holder's signature page hereto at a reduced Exercise Price per share equal to $0.38, otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Original Warrant. The Holder shall execute and deliver the aggregate cash exercise price for such exercise of the Original Warrant to the bank account set forth on the Company’s signature page hereto within two business days after notice from the Company that the condition set forth in Section 2.3 has been met and the Company shall deliver the Warrant Shares to the Holder via the Depository Trust Company Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system pursuant to the terms of the Original Warrant, but pursuant to instructions set forth on the Holder’s signature page hereto. The date of the closing of the exercise of the Original Warrant shall be referred to as the “Closing Date”.
| 1 |
(b) If the Holder did not exercise the Original Warrant with respect to all Warrant Shares as of the Closing Date, then after the Closing Date the Holder shall have the right to exercise the Original Warrant with respect to the remaining Warrant Shares otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (at an Exercise Price of $0.38 along with receipt of a New Warrant); provided, however, (i) the Original Warrant shall be amended in accordance with Section 2.4; and (ii) if the Original Warrant has not been exercised in full with respect to such remaining Warrant Shares on or before the later of (A) June 22, 2017 and (B) the date that the aggregate trading volume of the Common Stock exceeds 1.7 million shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for reverse stock splits and transactions with similar effect (“Termination Date”), such Original Warrant shall terminate to the extent of any then-unexercised Warrant Shares and no longer be of any force or effect at 5:00 pm ET on the Termination Date, provided no Notice of Exercise was tendered prior thereto.
(c) Within two (2) Trading Days of each of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each exercise of the Original Warrant thereafter, as applicable, the Company shall issue to the Holder a New Warrant to purchase such number of New Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares received by the Holder upon such applicable exercise of the Original Warrant.
Section 2.2 Legends; Restricted Securities.
(a) The Holder understands that the New Warrant and the New Warrant Shares are not, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state and, accordingly, each certificate, if any, representing such securities shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following:
“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.”
| 2 |
(b) Certificates evidencing the New Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 2.2(a) hereof), (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such New Warrant Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such New Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such New Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). In such event, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a New Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the New Warrant Shares, or if such New Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, or if the New Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such New Warrant Shares or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission), then such New Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 2.2(b), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) three (3) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing New Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.2(b). Certificates for securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Holder. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing New Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend.
| 3 |
(c) In addition to the Holder’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of New Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such New Warrant Shares are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (A) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the New Warrant Shares so delivered to the Company by the Holder that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (B) if after the Legend Removal Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) over the product of (1) such number of New Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed.
Section 2.3 Filing of Form 8-K and Amendment to Registration Statement. Prior to 9:00 am ET on the Trading Day following the date hereof, the Company shall issue a Current Report on Form 8-K, reasonably acceptable to the Holder disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, which shall include this Agreement (the “8-K Filing”). From and after the 8-K Filing, the Company represents to the Holder that it shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing. In addition, effective upon the 8-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and the Holder or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate. Such 8-K Filing shall be incorporated by reference into the registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333- 215205) (the “Registration Statement”), thereby updating the prospectus included therein.
Section 2.4 Amendment to Original Warrant. If the Holder did not exercise the Original Warrant with respect to all Warrant Shares as of the Closing Date, then effective immediately after the closing of the exercise of the Original Warrant in accordance with Section 2.1(a), (a) Section 3(e) of the Original Warrant shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the provision set forth on Annex A attached hereto and (b) the provision set forth on Annex B shall be added as a new Section 2(f) to the Original Warrant.

Annex A
"e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (other than a Fundamental Transaction not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors) the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, if the Fundamental Transaction is not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall not have the option to require the Company to purchase this Warrant. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and the Successor Entity may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. "

Annex B
"f) No net cash settlement. In the event that the Company does not have an effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of, the Warrant Shares to the Holder, there is no circumstance that would require the Company to net cash settle the warrants."
