and
to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents
to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder

securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock.

combinations of shares, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications
or
other similar events, there are no anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions
contained in any security issued by the Company (or in any agreement providing
rights to security holders), and the issuance and sale of the Securities will
not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities
to
any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any
holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or
reset price under such securities. To the knowledge of the Company, except
as
specifically disclosed in its SEC Reports, no Person or group of related Persons
beneficially owns (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the 1934

in
each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens disclosed in the SEC

No
brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the
Borrowers to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement
agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions

that
would cause any Purchaser to be liable for any such fees or commissions. The
Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect
to
any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated

incurred.
3.13 Private
Placement.
None of
the Borrowers nor any Person acting on the Borrowers’ behalf has sold or offered
to sell or solicited any offer to buy the Securities by means of any form of
general solicitation or advertising. None of the Borrowers nor any of their
Affiliates nor any Person acting on the Borrowers’ behalf has, directly or
indirectly, at any time within the past six months, made any offer or sale
of
any security or solicitation of any offer to buy any security under
circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption

the offer and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby or (ii) cause
the offering of the Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents to be
integrated with prior offerings by the Borrowers for purposes of any applicable
law, regulation or stockholder approval provisions, including, without
limitation, under the rules and regulations of any Trading Market. The issuance
and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and
regulations of the Trading Market and no shareholder approval (except to the

on
which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the
Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of
such Trading Market. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company is,
and
has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue
to

satisfied or waived.
3.16 Application
of Takeover Protections.
There
is no control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including
any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover

fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction
Documents, including without limitation the Company’s issuance of the Securities
and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.

and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Schedules to this
Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Borrowers are true and correct
and
do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Borrowers

know-how, patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, trade secrets and other
similar rights that are necessary or material for use in connection with their
respective businesses now operated by them and presently contemplated to be
operated by them and as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure
to so
have would have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
(collectively, the “Intellectual
Property Rights”).
Schedule
3.19
sets
forth a complete and accurate description of the Borrowers’ material
Intellectual Property Rights, other than off-the-shelf commercial or shrinkwrap
software and excluding all software or other material that is distributed as
“free software,” “open source software” or under a similar licensing or
distribution model. None of the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s Intellectual
Property Rights have expired or terminated, or are expected to expire or
terminate, within three years from the date of this Agreement. None of the
Borrowers nor any Subsidiary has received written notice that the Intellectual
Property Rights used by a Borrower or any Subsidiary violates or infringes
upon
the rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Borrowers, the Borrowers’ and
their Subsidiaries’ patents and other Intellectual Property Rights and the
present activities of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries do not infringe
any
patent, copyright, trademark, trade name or other proprietary rights of any
third party, and there is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought
against, or to the Borrowers’ knowledge, being threatened against, a Borrower or
any Subsidiary regarding any of the Intellectual Property Rights. None of the
Borrowers has any knowledge of an infringement by another Person of any of
the
Intellectual Property Rights by third parties and has no reason to believe
that
any of its Intellectual Property Rights is unenforceable. The Borrowers have
taken commercially reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties
12
3.20 Insurance.
The
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent
and customary in the businesses in which the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries
are engaged. The Borrowers have no reason to believe that they will not be
able
to renew their and the Subsidiaries’ existing insurance coverage as and when
such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as
may
be necessary to continue its business on terms consistent with the market for
the Borrowers’ and such Subsidiaries’ respective businesses.
3.21 Regulatory
Permits.
The
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and
permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory
authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in
the
SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have or result
in a
Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”),
and
none of the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
3.22 Transactions
With Affiliates and Employees.
Except
as set forth in SEC Reports filed at least ten days prior to the date hereof

arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for
rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments

3.24 Solvency.
None of
the Borrowers have taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy
law nor do any of the Borrowers have any knowledge or reason to believe that
its
creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings. Based on the
financial condition of the Borrowers as of the Closing Date, and giving effect
to the transactions contemplated herein, (a) the Borrowers’ fair saleable
value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on
or in
respect of the Borrowers’ existing debts and other liabilities (including known
contingent liabilities) as they mature; (b) the Borrowers’ assets do not
constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current
fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its
capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the
business conducted by the Borrowers, and projected capital requirements and
capital availability thereof; and (c) the current cash flow of the
Borrowers, together with the proceeds the Borrowers would receive, were it
to
liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses
of
the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt
when such amounts are required to be paid. None of the Borrowers intends to
incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into
account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its
debt).
13

financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
and to maintain asset accountability, (c) access to assets is permitted

Indebtedness (as defined below) in an individual amount of more than $500,000,
(b) is in violation of any term of or in default under any contract,

or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or (c) is a party to any
contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, the performance

have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement: (i)

(B) all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase
price of property or services (other than trade payables entered into in the

acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and
remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement in the event of default
are
limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all monetary
obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in connection with
GAAP, is classified as a capital lease, (G) all indebtedness referred to in
clauses (A) through (F) above secured by (or for which the holder of
such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured
by) any Lien upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract
rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person which owns such assets
or
property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness,
and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness or
obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through
(G) above; and (ii) “Contingent
Obligation”
means,
as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise,
of
that Person with respect to any indebtedness, lease, dividend or other
obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent of the Person
incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance
to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged,
or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the
holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss
with respect thereto.

such Subsidiary to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing
matters.

all
federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor,

with any applicable state securities laws. In connection with any transfer
of
Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to

to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor
and
reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration under the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books
of
the Company and with its Transfer Agent, without any such legal opinion, any
transfer of Securities by a Purchaser to an Affiliate of such Purchaser,
provided that the transferee certifies to the Company that it is an “accredited

(b) The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, except as otherwise permitted by

NEITHER
THESE SECURITIES [NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE][CONVERSION] HEREOF
HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION
FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE
OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER
THE
SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS. THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON
[EXERCISE][CONVERSION] HEREOF MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE
MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES. THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT
THAT
ANY PROPOSED OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH
THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(c) Certificates
evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth
in
Section 5.1(b)
or any
other legend (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of
such Securities is effective under the 1933 Act, or (ii) following any sale
of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Securities
are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not
required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC). The Company
shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion included in the Transfer
Agent Instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent on the Effective Date.
Following the Effective Date or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer
required for certain Securities, the Company will, no later than three Trading
Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s
transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such Securities, deliver
or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such
Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company
may
not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent
of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in
Section 5.1(b).
For so
long as any Purchaser owns Securities, the Company will not effect or publicly
announce its intention to effect any exchange, recapitalization or other
transaction that effectively requires or rewards physical delivery of
certificates evidencing the Common Stock.
19
(d) The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge
or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities in connection with
a
bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement secured by
the
Securities and, if required under the terms of such agreement, loan or
arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer possession of such pledged or secured
Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer of
possession would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion
of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection
therewith but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent
transfer following default by the Purchaser of the pledge. Further, no notice

continue to contain the legend set forth in Section 5.1(b)

subject to the restrictions or transfer set forth in Section

to
deliver to such Purchaser a certificate representing Common Stock by the third
Trading Day after the date on which delivery of such certificate is required
by
any Transaction Document, and if after such third Trading Day such Purchaser
purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock
to
deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the shares that the
Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”),
then,
in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, the Company shall, within three Trading Days
after such Purchaser’s request either (i) pay cash to such Purchaser in an
amount equal to such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the
“Buy-In
Price”),
at
which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue
such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation
to deliver to such Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing such
Common Stock and pay cash to such Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess
(if
any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of
Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Price on the date of the event giving
rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate.
5.2 Furnishing

pursuant to the 1934 Act, except in the case of the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 which shall be filed on or

publicly available in accordance with paragraph (c) of Rule 144 such
information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under
Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further
action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request to satisfy the
provisions of Rule 144 applicable to the issuer of securities relating to
transactions for the sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.
20
5.3 Integration.
The
Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate
of
the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the 0000
Xxx) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a
manner that would require the registration under the 1933 Act of the sale of
the
Securities to the Purchasers, or that would be integrated with the offer or
sale
of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading
Market.
5.4 Reservation

shall
have the right to require the Company to either: (i) use its best efforts
to obtain the required shareholder approval necessary to permit the issuance
of
such shares of Common Stock as soon as is possible, but in any event not later
than the 60th day after such notice, or (ii) within five Trading Days after
delivery of a written notice, pay cash to such Purchaser, an amount equal to
the
number of shares of Common Stock not issuable by the Company times 115% of
the
average Closing Price over the five Trading Days immediately prior to the date
of such notice or, if greater, the five Trading Days immediately prior to the
date of payment (the “Cash
Amount”)
which
cash amount shall be in satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to deliver such
shares. If the exercising or converting Purchaser elects the first option under
the preceding sentence and the Company fails to obtain the required shareholder
approval on or prior to the 60th day after such notice, then within three
Trading Days after such 60th day, the Company shall pay the Cash Amount to
such
Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as penalty.

31
7.13 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting
any
similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever the Collateral Agent
or the Required Holders exercise a right, election, demand or option under

obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Collateral Agent
or
the Required Holders may rescind or withdraw, in their sole discretion from
time
to time upon written notice to the Borrowers, any relevant notice, demand or
election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and
rights.
7.14 Replacement

If any
certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Borrowers shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution

customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new

third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement
Securities.

In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted
by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Borrowers
will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The
parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing
sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance
of
any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
7.16 Payment
Set Aside.
To the
extent that any Borrower makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant
to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights
hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such
enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged
by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to a Borrower,
a
trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation
or
part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
7.17 Usury.
To the
extent it may lawfully do so, each of the Borrowers hereby agrees not to insist
upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all
efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim,
action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce
any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly
agreed and provided that the total liability of the Borrowers under the
Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed
the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum
Rate”),
and,
without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or
default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the
nature of interest that any Borrower may be obligated to pay under the
Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum
contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction
Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental
action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest
allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate of interest applicable to the
Transaction Documents from the effective date forward, unless such application
is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest
in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Borrowers to any Purchaser with
respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess
shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such
indebtedness or be refunded to the Borrowers, the manner of handling such excess
to be at such Purchaser’s election.
32
7.18 Adjustments
in Share Numbers and Prices.
In the
event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in
shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or
entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common
Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after
the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of
shares or a price per share shall be amended to appropriately account for such
event.

INTERPHARM
HOLDINGS INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
hereby certifies that, for value received, [______________] or its registered
assigns (the “Holder”),
is
entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of
[ ]1
shares
of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common
Stock”),
of
the Company (each such share, a “Warrant
Share”
and
all
such shares, the “Warrant
Shares”)
at an
exercise price equal to $0.95 per share (as adjusted from time to time as
provided in Section 9,
the
“Exercise
Price”),
at
any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and through and
including the date that is five years from the date of issuance hereof (the
“Expiration
Date”),
and
subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant (this “Warrant”)
is one
of a series of similar Warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated as of November ___, 2007, by and among the Company
and
the Purchasers identified therein (the “Purchase
Agreement”).
All
such Warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Warrants.”
1
Holder’s
pro rata share of 1,842,103.
43
8. Definitions.
In
addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms
that
are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the
Purchase Agreement.
9. Registration
of Warrant.
The
Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”),
in
the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem
and
treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for
the
purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all
other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
10. Registration
of Transfers.
The
Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the
Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment
attached hereto on Annex B
duly
completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon
any
such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in
substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New
Warrant”),
evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the
transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant
not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The
acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant.
11. Exercise
and Duration of Warrants.
11.1 This
Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from
time
to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At
6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this
Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value;
provided that, if the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days
immediately prior to (but not including) the Expiration Date exceeds the
Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to
have
been exercised in full (to the extent not previously exercised) on a “cashless
exercise” basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City time on the Expiration Date if a
“cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10
below.
11.2 A
Holder
may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise
notice, in the form attached hereto on Annex A
(the
“Exercise
Notice”),
appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise
Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being
exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in
the Exercise Notice and if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant
to Section 10
below),
and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in
accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise
Date.”
The
Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect
an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall
have
the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New
Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant
Shares.
44
12. Delivery
of Warrant Shares.
12.1 Upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later
than
five Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and
cause
to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name
or
names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable
upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement
covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling
stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not
freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under
the 1933 Act. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive
Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant
Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder
and provided a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for
the
resale of the Warrant Shares is then in effect, use its reasonable best efforts
to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust
Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions.
12.2 This
Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a
portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant
following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to
be
issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the
remaining number of Warrant Shares.
12.3 In
addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails to
deliver to the Holder a certificate representing Warrant Shares by the fifth
Trading Day after the date on which delivery of such certificate is required
by
this Warrant, and if after such fifth Trading Day 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 the Warrant Shares that the Holder
anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall, within five Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in
the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount
equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if
any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In
Price”),
at
which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue
such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation
to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common
Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any)
of
the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common
Stock, times (B) the Closing Price on the date of the event giving rise to
the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate.
12.4 The
Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the
terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or
inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect
to any provision hereof, any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or
termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person
of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law
by
the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance
which
might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection
with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right
to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity
including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant
as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
45
13. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses.
Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes
and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants
in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder
shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result
of
holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise
hereof.
14. Replacement
of Warrant.
If this
Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but
only
upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.
Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with
such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable
third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.
15. Reservation
of Warrant Shares.
The
Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out
of
the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common
Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which
are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant,
free
from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other
than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of
Section 9).
The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall,
upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance
with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid
and
nonassessable. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to
assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any
securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock
may be listed.
16. Certain
Adjustments.
The
Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section 9.
16.1 Stock
Dividends and Splits.
If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock
dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class
of
capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock (other than regular
dividends on the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Convertible
Preferred Stock the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series D-1
Convertible Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the
Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall
be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to
clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or
(iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
effective date of such subdivision or combination.
46
16.2 Pro
Rata Distributions.
If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all
of
its holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness,
(ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the
preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “Distributed
Property”),
then
in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record
date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such record date) to equal the
product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of which the denominator shall
be the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately
prior
to (but not including) such record date and of which the numerator shall be
such
average less the then fair market value of the Distributed Property distributed
in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as determined by the a
nationally recognized accounting or investment banking firm selected by the
Company (an “Appraiser”).
In
such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser,
shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a
nationally recognized accounting or investment banking firm), in which case
such
fair market value shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined
by each of the Appraiser and such appraiser. As an alternative to the foregoing
adjustment to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to Section
9(e)
below,
at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such record
date, the Company will deliver to such Holder, within five Trading Days after
such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such distribution), the
Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in
respect of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant could have been exercised
immediately prior to such record date. If such Distributed Property is not
delivered to a Holder pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon expiration
of or any exercise of the Warrant that occurs after such record date, such
Holder shall remain entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares
otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), such Distributed
Property.
16.3 Fundamental
Transactions.
If at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person,
(ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets
in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or
exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant
to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects
any reclassification 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 (other than as a result of a subdivision
or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a)
above)
(in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”),
then
the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this
Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would
have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full
of this Warrant (the “Alternate
Consideration”).
The
aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such
Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate 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. In the event
of
a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person,
as
the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing
that:
(A)
this
Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate
Consideration in accordance with this Section 9(c),
47
(B)
in
the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance such successor
or
purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for
the
performance of all of the Company’s obligations under this Warrant and the
Purchase Agreement, and
(C)
if
registration or qualification is required under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act
or
applicable state law for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock
and
other securities so issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such registration
or
qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination or sale.
If,
in
the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the Alternate Consideration includes
shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of a Person other
than the Company or any such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may
be,
in such Fundamental Transaction, then such written agreement shall also be
executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions
to
protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors of the Company
shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. At the Holder’s
request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental
Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate
Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms
of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall
include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with
the provisions of this Section
9(c)
and
insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a “Rule 13e-3
transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934 Act with respect to
the Company in which the consideration issued consists principally of cash
or
stock in a non-public company, then at the request of the Holder delivered
before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any
such
successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for
a
purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request
(or,
if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the
Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on
the
date of such request.
48
16.4 Antidilution
Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If
at any
time this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance
with this Section
9(d)
is
deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, with the exception
of
Excluded Stock, for a consideration per share (the “New
Securities Issuance Price”)
less
than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such time (each
such sale or issuance, a “Dilutive
Issuance”),
then
concurrent with such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall
be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the New Securities
Issuance Price.
For
purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section
10(d),
the
following shall be applicable:
(a) Issuance
of Options.
If the
Company in any manner grants or sells any Options (other than Excluded Stock)
and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable
upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise
of
any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than
the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance,
then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such
Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section
9(d)(i),
the
“lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
the
exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to
the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable
by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting
or
sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exchange
or
exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.
No
further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
(b) Issuance
of Convertible Securities.
If the
Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities (other than
Excluded Stock) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less
than the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance,
then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such
Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
Section
9(d)(ii),
the
“lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
such conversion, exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest
amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with
respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the
Convertible Security and upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such
Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be
made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange
or
exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such
Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment
of the Conversion Price had been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions
of this Section
9(d),
no
further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such
issue
or sale.
49
(c) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.
If the
purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise
of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes
at
any time (other than Excluded Stock), the Exercise Price in effect at the time
of such change shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been
in
effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for
such
changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate,
as
the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes
of
this Section
9(d)(iii),
if the
terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the
Initial Closing Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately
preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common
Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be
deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. On the expiration
of
any Option or Convertible Security not exercised, the applicable Exercise Price
then in effect shall forthwith be increased to the Exercise Price that would
have been in effect at the time of such expiration had such Stock Purchase
Rights or Convertible Securities never been issued. No adjustment shall be
made
if such adjustment would increase the applicable Exercise Price by an amount
in
excess of the adjustment originally made to the Exercise Price in respect of
the
issue, sale or grant of the applicable Option or Convertible Security.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall an adjustment
to the Exercise Price be made retroactively with respect to any portion of
the
Warrant which has been exercised prior to the actual date of the dilutive
issuance or change. In addition, to clarify for purposes of this Section
9(d),
if an
Option or Convertible Security has a price reset or similar provision that
would
cause the price to adjust based on a future event or contingency, then the
“lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
the
exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall not become
such adjusted price unless and until the happening of such event or contingency
that actually gives effect to the adjustment.
(d) Calculation
of Consideration Received.
In case
any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities
of
the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, then solely
for purposes of this Section
9(d),
the
Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration equal to the
exercise price of such Option. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash,
the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount
received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount
of
the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair
value
of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
will be the arithmetic average of the closing price of such securities during
the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of receipt of such
securities. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities
will be determined jointly by the Company and Required Holders in good faith.
If
such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the
occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation
Event”),
the
fair value of such consideration will be determined within five Business Days
after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent,
reputable appraiser selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The
determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent
manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne
equally by the Company and the Required Holders.
50
16.5 Number
of Warrant Shares.
Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to
paragraphs (a),
(b) or
(d) of
this Section,
the
number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment
the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased
number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price
in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
16.6 Calculations.
All
calculations under this Section 9
shall be
made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
The
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include
shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition
of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common
Stock.
16.7 Notice
of Adjustments.
Upon
the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9,
the
Company at its expense will promptly, but in any event no later than 10 Trading
Days after such occurrence compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms
of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment,
including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or
type
of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
(as
applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written
request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate
to
the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.
16.8 Notice
of Corporate Events.
If the
Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash,
securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without
limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any
capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or
approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder
approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then
the
Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms
and
conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common
Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction,
and
the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that
the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to
such
time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall
not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
51
17. Payment
of Exercise Price.
The
Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds; provided,
however,
that if
the Registration Statement did not become effective on or before the Required
Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and is
not
continuously effective through the Expiration Date, the Holder may satisfy
its
obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which
event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares
determined as follows:
X
=
Y [(A-B)/A]
|
|
where:
|
|
X
=
the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the
Holder.
|
|
Y
=
the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is
being
exercised.
|
|
A
=
the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading
Days
immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise
Date.
|
|
B
=
the Exercise Price.
|
For
purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless
exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and
the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced,
on
the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.
18. Intentionally
Blank.
19. Fractional
Shares.
The
Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant
Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share
would, except for the provisions of this Section,
be
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be
issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
20. Notices.
Any and
all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without
limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given
and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such
notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number
specified in this Section
prior to
6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day
after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via
facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section
on a day
that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any
Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent
by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual
receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address
for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the
Company, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, or (ii) if to the Holder,
to
the address or facsimile number appearing on the Company’s Warrant Register or
such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company
in accordance with this Section 13.
52
21. Warrant
Agent.
The
Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’
notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any
corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or
any
corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new
warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any
new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or
stockholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this
Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly
cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class
mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on
the Warrant Register.
22. Miscellaneous.
22.1 This
Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and
their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Borrowers shall not
be
permitted to assign this Note.
22.2 The
Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents or through any
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 against impairment. Without limiting the generality
of
the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any
Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise,
(ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid
and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and
(iii) will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which
unreasonably interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
22.3 GOVERNING
LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
ALL
QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION
OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS

22.4 The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
22.5 In
case
any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Reference
is made to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November
14,
2007 (the “Agreement”),
by
and among Interpharm Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”),
Interpharm, Inc., a New York corporation, and the purchasers named therein
(the
“Holders”)
pursuant to which the Company anticipates issuing the Company’s (a)
Secured Convertible 12% Notes due 2009 (the “Convertible
Notes”)
which
shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01
per share (the “Common
Stock”)
and
(b) warrants, which are exercisable into shares of Common Stock (the
“Warrants”).
This
letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you
(provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time) to issue
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes (the
“Conversion
Shares”)
and
upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant
Shares”)
to or
upon the order of a Holder from time to time upon delivery to you of a properly
completed and duly executed Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice, as the case
may be, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I
and
Exhibit II,
which
has been acknowledged by the Company as indicated by the signature of a duly
authorized officer of the Company thereon.
You
acknowledge and agree that so long as you have previously received
(a) written confirmation from the Company’s legal counsel that either
(i) a registration statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares or
the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”)
under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933
Act”),
or
(ii) sales of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares may be made in
conformity with Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act (“Rule 144”),
and
(b) if applicable, a copy of such registration statement, then within three
(3) business days after your receipt of a Conversion Notice or an Exercise,
you
shall issue the certificates representing the Conversion Shares or the Warrant
Shares, as the case may be, and such certificates shall not bear any legend
restricting transfer of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares thereby
and
should not be subject to any stop-transfer restriction.
A
form of
written confirmation (from counsel to the Company) that a registration statement
covering resales of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, as the case
may
be, has been declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act is attached hereto
as Exhibit III.
Please
be
advised that the Holders have relied upon this instruction letter as an
inducement to enter into the Agreement and accordingly, each Holder is a third
party beneficiary of these instructions. Please execute this letter in the
space
indicated to acknowledge your agreement to act in accordance with these
instructions. Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please
