NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, the agreements herein set forth
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Grant.
Subject
to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Holders (as defined
in
Section 3.1 below) are hereby granted the right to purchase 701,305 Warrant
Shares at an initial Exercise Price (as defined in Section 5.2 below)
of $0.88
per
each Warrant Share (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7
below).
2. Warrant
Certificates.
The
Warrant certificates (the “Warrant
Certificates”)
to be
delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the form set forth in
Exhibit
A,
attached hereto and made a part hereof, with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions, and other variations as required or permitted by
this
Agreement.
3. Exercise
of Warrant.
3.1 Method
of Exercise.
Each
Warrant is initially exercisable at the initial Exercise Price, payable by
certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds or by wire
transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to instructions given by the
Company at the Holder’s request. Upon surrender of a Warrant Certificate with
the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly executed, together with payment
of
the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is
being exercised, at the Company’s principal offices, currently at 0000 Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, the registered holder of
a
Warrant Certificate (“Holder”
or
“Holders”)
shall
be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares
so
purchased. The purchase rights represented by each Warrant Certificate are
exercisable at the option of the Holder(s) thereof, in whole or in part (but
not
as to fractional shares of the Company Common Stock underlying the Warrants).
Warrants may be exercised to purchase all or part of the Warrant Shares
represented thereby. In the case of purchase of less than all the Warrant Shares
purchasable under any Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel such Warrant
Certificate upon the surrender thereof and shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant Certificate of like tenor for the balance of the Warrant
Shares.
3.2 Exercise
by Surrender of Warrant.
In
addition to the method of payment set forth in Section 3.1 and in lieu of any
cash payment required thereunder, the Holder(s) of the Warrants shall have
the
right at any time and from time to time, provided that the Company Common Stock
is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange
Act”),
to
exercise the Warrants in full or in part by surrendering the Warrant Certificate
in the manner specified in Section 3.1 in exchange for the number of shares
of
Company Common Stock computed by using the following formula:
X
=
Y
(A -
B)
A
Where
|
X
|
=
|
the
number of shares of Company Common Stock to be issued to the Holder(s)
pursuant to the net exercise.
|
2
Y
|
=
|
the
number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Warrant being
exercised or, if only a portion of such Warrant is being exercised,
the
portion of such Warrant being canceled (at the time of such
calculation).
|
A
|
=
|
the
Fair Market Value of one share of Company Common Stock (at the date
of
such calculation).
|
B = the
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
For
purposes of this Section 3.2, the “Fair Market Value” of one share of Company
Common Stock shall be equal to (i) the average of the closing sale price of
the
Common Stock as quoted on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or any other nationally
recognized securities market or automated quotation system on which the
Company’s securities are quoted or exchanged), whichever is applicable, for the
ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise or, (ii) if
no
sales take place on any such trading day, the average of the closing bid and
asked prices on such ten (10) trading-day period.
3.3. Exercise
Period. The
Warrants shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing
on the Effective Date until the earlier of (i) December 14, 2015, and (ii)
the
third (3rd) anniversary of the closing of a public offering of equity securities
of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar
or
successor act) (the “Act”) at a per share price of at least $4.40 and in which
the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $20,000,000 (the “Expiration
Date”).
4.
Issuance
of Certificates.
In the
event of any exercise of the rights represented by the Warrants, as promptly
as
practicable on or after the date of exercise and in any event within ten (10)
business days thereafter, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver
to
the Person or Persons (as hereinafter defined) entitled to receive the same
a
certificate or certificates representing the number of Warrant Shares issued
upon such exercise; 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 issuance and delivery of any such certificates
in a name other than that of the Holder, and the Company shall not be required
to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person(s) requesting
the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax
or
shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such
tax has been paid. In the event that the Warrants are exercised in part, as
promptly as practicable on or after the date of exercise and in any event within
ten (10) business days thereafter, the Company at its sole expense will execute
and deliver new Warrants of like tenor exercisable for the number of Warrant
Shares for which the Warrants may then be exercised. As used herein, the term
“Person”
or
“Persons” means
any
individual or any corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company
or
other entity or organization of any kind.
5. Exercise
Price.
5.1 Initial
and Adjusted Exercise Price.
Except
as otherwise provided in Section 7 hereof, the Warrants shall be exercisable
to
purchase the Shares at a price of $0.88 per share of Company Common Stock.
The
adjusted exercise price shall be the price which shall result from time to
time
from any and all adjustments of the initial exercise price in accordance with
the provisions of Section 7 hereof.
3
5.2 Exercise
Price.
The
term “Exercise
Price”
herein
shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending
upon the context.
6. Transfer
of Securities; Legends.
Each
Holder, by acceptance of a Warrant Certificate, covenants and agrees that it
is
acquiring the Warrants evidenced thereby and the Warrant Shares for its own
account as an investment and not with a view to distribution thereof. The
Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Act, or any state securities
laws and no transfer of any Warrant Shares shall be permitted unless the Company
has received notice of such transfer, at the address of its principal office
set
forth in Section 3.1 hereof, in the form of assignment attached hereto,
accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company
that
an exemption from registration of such Warrant Shares under the Act is available
for such transfer. The following legends shall be placed on each Warrant
Certificate:
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (i) AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
OR
(ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, THAT AN
APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND SUCH
LAWS IS AVAILABLE.
THE
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND EXERCISE OF THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
ARE RESTRICTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WARRANT AGREEMENT REFERRED TO
HEREIN.
6.1 Removal
of Legend.
Upon
request of a Holder of a certificate with the legends required by Section 6
hereof, the Company shall issue to such Holder a new certificate therefor free
of any transfer legend, if, with such request, the Company shall have received
an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company in form and substance to
the
effect that any transfer by such Holder of the shares evidenced by such
certificate will not violate the Act and any applicable state securities laws.
Any purported transfer of any Warrants or Warrant Shares not in compliance
with
the provisions of this Section 6 shall be null and void.
7. Adjustment.
(a) Subdivision
and Combination.
If the
Company shall at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares
of
Company Common Stock subject to acquisition hereunder, then, after the date
of
record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of
shares of Company Common Stock subject to acquisition upon exercise of the
Warrants will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines
(by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification
or
otherwise) the shares of Company Common Stock subject to acquisition hereunder,
then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately
increased and the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to
acquisition upon exercise of the Warrants will be proportionately
decreased.
4
(b) Notice
of Adjustment.
Upon
any adjustment of any Exercise Price, then and in each such case the Company
shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Exercise
Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any,
in
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of
the
Warrants, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and
the
facts upon which such calculation is based.
8. Exchange
and Replacement of Warrant Certificates.
Each
Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender thereof
by the registered Holder(s) at the principal office of the Company, for a new
Warrant Certificate of like form, tenor and date representing in the aggregate
the right to purchase the same number of securities in such denominations as
shall be designated by the Holder(s) thereof at the time of such
surrender.
Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate, and, in case of
loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory
to
it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental
thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrants, if mutilated,
the
Company will make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like form and tenor
in lieu thereof.
9. No
Fractional Shares or Scrip.
No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of the Warrants, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company
shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then
in
effect.
10. No
Registration Rights.
By
executing this Agreement, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx waives any and all registration rights,
including, without limitation, all demand and piggyback registration rights,
it
has under that certain Registration Rights Agreement, by and among Delaware
Modigene, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and certain individuals, dated December 14, 2005.
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx further agrees that it will not have any registration rights
with
respect to the shares of Company Common Stock underlying the Warrant Shares.
11. Stock
Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.
The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
shares of Company Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the
exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Company Common Stock or
other
securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof.
The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment
of the Exercise Price therefor, all shares of Company Common Stock and other
securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully
paid, non-assessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any
stockholder.
5
12. Notices
to Warrant Holders.
Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be constructed as conferring upon the Holders
the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice to stockholders in respect
of any meetings of stockholders for the election of directors or any other
matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company.
If,
however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrants and their exercise,
any of the following events shall occur:
(a) the
Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of Company Common
Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable
otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise
than out of current or retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting
treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company;
or
(b) the
Company shall offer to all the holders of its Company Common Stock any
additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible
into
or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option right
or warrant to subscribe therefor; or
(c) a
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection
with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of its
property, assets and business as an entirety shall be proposed;
then,
in
any one or more of such events, the Company shall give written notice of such
event at least five (5) days prior to the date fixed as a record date for the
dividend or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of
the
issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights,
options or warrants or for the determination of the persons or entitled to
vote
on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice
shall
specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the
case
may be. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect
the
validity of any action taken in connection with the declaration or payment
of
any such dividend, or the issuance of any convertible or exchangeable
securities or
subscription rights, options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution,
liquidation winding up or sale.
13. Notices.
All

writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered, or mailed

WARRANT
CERTIFICATE
This
Warrant Certificate certifies that _________________________, or its registered
assigns, is entitled to purchase up to __________________ fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the
“Common
Stock”)
of
Modigene Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”)
initially, at any time after the date hereof (“Warrant
Issue Date”)
until
5:30 p.m. New York time on the date (the “Expiration
Date”)
that
is the earlier of (i) December 14, 2015, and (ii) the third (3rd) anniversary
of
the closing of a public offering of equity securities of the Company under
the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar or successor act) at a per
share price of at least $4.40 and in which the Company receives gross proceeds
of at least $20,000,000, at the initial exercise price of $0.88, subject to
adjustment in certain events (the “Exercise
Price”),
upon
surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price at
an
office or agency of the Company, or by surrender of this Warrant Certificate
in
lieu of cash payment, but subject to the conditions and adjustments set forth
herein and in the Warrant Agreement dated as of ______________, 2007 between
the
Company and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Ventures, Inc. (the “Warrant
Agreement”).
Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made by certified or official bank check
in New York Clearing House funds payable to the order of the Company, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the Company’s account pursuant to
wire transfer instructions provided by the Company or pursuant to Section 3.2
of
the Warrant Agreement.
No
Warrant may be exercised after 5:30 p.m. (New York time) on the Expiration
Date,
at which time all Warrants evidenced hereby, unless exercised prior thereto,
shall thereafter be void.

The
Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized
issue of Warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, which Warrant
Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this
instrument and to which reference is hereby made for a description of the
rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder
of
the Company and the registered holder(s) of the Warrants.
As
set
forth in Section 7 of the Warrant Agreement, certain adjustments may be made
to
the Exercise Price and the type and/or number of the Company’s securities
issuable upon their exercise. In the event of such an adjustment, the Company
will, at the request of the holder, issue a new Warrant Certificate evidencing
the adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number and/or type of securities
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants; provided,
however,
that
the failure of the Company to issue such new Warrant Certificates shall not
in
any way change, alter or otherwise impair the rights of the holder as set forth
in the Warrant Agreement.
Upon
due
presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate and the
executed form of assignment attached hereto at an office or agency of the
Company, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like form and
tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued
to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the
limitations provided herein and in the Warrant Agreement, without any charge
except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with
such
transfer.
Upon
the
exercise of less than all of the Warrants evidenced by this Certificate, the
Company shall forthwith issue to the holder hereof a new Warrant Certificate
representing such number of unexercised Warrants.
The
Company may deem and treat the registered holder(s) hereof as the absolute
owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership
or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof,
and of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes,
and
the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
All
capitalized terms used and not defined in this Warrant Certificate shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Warrant Agreement.
