Certain Terms used in this Warrant are defined in Article IV.
ARTICLE I
Exercise of Warrant
1.1 Method of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder as a whole or in part from time to time until November 14, 2008, at which time this Warrant shall expire and be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that the minimum number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased on a single exercise shall be 10,000 or the entire number of shares remaining available for exercise hereunder, whichever is less. To exercise this Warrant, the Registered Holder or permitted assignees of all rights of the Registered Holder shall deliver to the Company, at the Warrant Office designated in Section 2.1(a), a written notice in the form of the Purchase Form attached as Exhibit A hereto, stating therein the election of the Registered Holder or such permitted assignees of the Registered Holder to exercise this Warrant in the manner provided in the Purchase Form, (b) payment in full of the Exercise Price (in the manner described below) for all Warrant Shares purchased hereunder, and (c) this Warrant. Subject to compliance with Section 3.1(a)(vii), this Warrant shall be deemed to be exercised on the date of receipt by the Company of the Purchase Form, accompanied by payment for the Warrant Shares to be purchased and surrender of this Warrant, as aforesaid, and such date is referred to herein as the “Exercise Date.” Upon such exercise (subject as aforesaid), the Company shall issue and deliver to the Registered Holder a certificate for the full number of the Warrant Shares purchasable by the Registered Holder hereunder, against the receipt by the Company of the total Exercise Price payable hereunder for all such Warrant Shares, in cash or by certified or
1
cashier’s check. The Person in whose name the certificate(s) for Common Stock is to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on the Exercise Date.
1.2 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest equal to the fair market value of such fractional interest as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
1.3 Purchase of Warrants by the Company. The Company shall have the right, except as limited by law, other agreement, or herein, to purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants at such time, in such manner, and for such consideration as it may deem appropriate.
1.4 Early Termination of Warrants by the Company. In the event that, at any time prior to November 14, 2008, when a registration statement with respect to the Warrant Shares is effective and the VWAP of the Common Stock exceeds $2.25 per share for any period of 20 consecutive Trading Days, the Company will have the right, by giving written notice within five days of the end of such 20-day period to the Registered Holder of this Warrant, to provide that the Warrants not exercised on or before a date not less than 30 days following the date of such notice shall expire and cease to have any rights whatsoever; provided that a registration statement with respect to the Warrant Shares is continuously effective from the first of such 20 consecutive Trading Days until the date fixed for expiration of the Warrants.
1.5 Cancellation of Warrants. In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire the Warrants, the same shall thereupon be cancelled by it and retired.
ARTICLE II
Warrant Office; Transfer
2.1 Warrant Office. The Company shall maintain an office for certain purposes specified herein (the “Warrant Office”), which office shall initially be the Company’s office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and may subsequently be such other office of the Company or of any transfer agent of the Common Stock in the continental United States of which written notice has previously been given to the Registered Holder. The Company shall maintain, at the Warrant Office, a register for the Warrant in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Registered Holder, as well as the name and address of each permitted assignee of the rights of the Registered Holder.
2.2 Ownership of Warrant. The Company may deem and treat the Registered Holder as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in this Article II.
2.3 Transfer of Warrants. The Company agrees to maintain at the Warrant Office books for the registration and transfer of this Warrant. Subject to the restrictions on transfer of Warrants in Section 2.8, the Company, from time to time, shall register the transfer of this Warrant in such books upon surrender of this Warrant at the Warrant Office, properly endorsed, together with a written assignment of this Warrant, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached as Exhibit B hereto. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee, and the Company shall cancel the surrendered Warrant. The Registered Holder shall pay all taxes and all other expenses and charges payable in connection with the transfer of Warrants pursuant to this Section 2.3.
2.4 Registration Rights. The Company agrees (a) that the Warrant Shares shall be “Registrable Securities” under the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) between the Company and the purchasers of shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company issued and sold pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement dated as of November 15, 2004, between the Company and the purchasers of such shares. and (b) that the Registered Holder shall have the rights and obligations of a Holder set forth on the Registration Rights Agreement.
2
2.5 Acknowledgement of Rights. The Company will, at the time of exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, upon request of the Registered Holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder any rights (including without limitation, any right to registration of the Warrant Shares) to which such holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant, provided that if the holder of this Warrant shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such holder any such rights.
2.6 No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to the Registered Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the Exercise Date.
2.7 Expenses of Delivery of Warrants. Except as provided in Section 2.3 above, the Company shall pay all reasonable expenses, taxes (other than transfer taxes), and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of Warrants and related Warrant Shares hereunder.
2.8 Compliance with Securities Laws. The Registered Holder (and its transferees and assigns), by acceptance of this Warrant, covenants and agrees that such Registered Holder is acquiring the Warrants evidenced hereby, and, upon exercise hereof, the Warrant Shares, for its own account as an investment and not with a view to distribution thereof. Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and no transfer of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares shall be permitted unless the Company has received notice of such transfer in the form of the assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, accompanied, if requested by the Company, by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that an exemption from registration of such Warrant or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is available for such transfer, except that no such opinion shall be required with respect to the Warrant Shares after the registration for resale of the Warrant Shares has become effective if the Warrant Shares are sold pursuant to the registration statement. Upon any exercise of the Warrants prior to effective registration for resale or except as in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive legend substantially identical to that set forth as follows:
“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state (collectively, the “Acts”). Neither the shares nor any interest therein may be offered, sold, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement with respect to the shares under all of the applicable Acts, or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. to the effect that such registrations are not required.”
(c) Any purported transfer of the Warrant or Warrant Shares not in compliance with the provisions of this section shall be null and void. Stop transfer instructions have been or will be imposed with respect to the Warrant Shares so as to restrict resale or other transfer thereof, subject to this Section 2.8.
ARTICLE III
Anti-Dilution Provisions
3.1 Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided in this Article III. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, except pursuant to Sections 3.1(a)(iii) and (iv), the Registered Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of the Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of the Common Stock purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(a) Exercise Price Adjustments. The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
3
(i) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof (the “Original Issue Date”) while this Warrant remains outstanding, effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. Conversely, if the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 3.1(a)(i) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(ii) Adjustment for Common Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Company, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date while this Warrant remains outstanding makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, in each such event the Exercise Price that is then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)(ii) to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.
(iii) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date while this Warrant remains outstanding, the Common Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than an Acquisition, Asset Transfer, subdivision or combination of shares, stock dividend, reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 3.1(a)), in any such event the Registered Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Common Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
(iv) Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations, or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date while this Warrant remains outstanding, there is a capital reorganization of the Company, an Acquisition, an Asset Transfer (other than a recapitalization, or subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange, or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 3.1(a)), as a part of such capital reorganization, Acquisition, or Asset Transfer, provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise hereof the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise immediately prior to such event would have been entitled as a result of such capital reorganization, subject to adjustment in respect of such stock or securities by the terms thereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3.1(a) with respect to the rights of the Registered Holder after the capital reorganization, Acquisition, or Asset Transfer to the end that the provisions of this Section 3.1(a) (including adjustment of the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon exercise) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.
(v) Distributions of Securities. In case of any distribution of any security (including rights or warrants to subscribe for any such securities) of the Company (except Common Stock), evidences of its indebtedness, cash, or other assets to all of the holders of its Common Stock, then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of outstanding
4
shares of Common Stock multiplied by the Current Market Price on the record date mentioned below, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the securities, evidences of indebtedness, cash, or other assets distributed by the Company, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock multiplied by the Current Market Price; such adjustment shall become effective as of the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company of this clause (v).
(vi) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3.1(a) and under Section 3.1(b) shall be made to the nearest cent. Any provision of this Section 3.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one percent, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate one percent or more.
(vii) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 3.1(a) shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the Registered Holder after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock or other property issuable or deliverable upon exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock or other property issuable or deliverable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall deliver to such Registered Holder a due ▇▇▇▇ or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Registered Holder’s right to receive such additional shares or other property, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(viii) Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion.
(b) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1(a), and upon each change in the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for this Warrant and at the principal office of the Company, a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price and new number of shares issuable that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be given to the Registered Holder. Each such statement shall be signed by the Company’s chief financial or accounting officer. Where appropriate, such copy may be given in advance and may be included as part of a notice required to be mailed under the provisions of Section 3.1(c).
(c) Notice to Holders. In the event the Company shall propose to take any action of the type described in clause (iii) or (iv) of Section 3.1(a), the Company shall give notice to the Registered Holder, in the manner set forth in Section 6.6, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.
3.2 Costs. The Registered Holder shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. Additionally, the Company shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificate for such Warrant Shares. The Registered Holder shall reimburse the Company for any such taxes assessed against the Company.
5
3.3 Reservations of Shares. The Company shall reserve at all times so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise hereof.
3.4 Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant will upon issuance by the Company be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof attributable to any act or omission by the Company, and the Company shall take no action which will cause a contrary result (including without limitation, any action which would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the par value, if any, of the Common Stock).
