No. 2
June 6, 2006
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the
undersigned, Zila, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors
and assigns, the "Issuer"), hereby certifies that
BDC FINANCE, L.L.C.
or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at an
initial exercise price of $3.14 per share, during the Term (as defined below),
1,200,000 shares of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable Common Stock all subject to adjustment and upon the terms and
conditions as hereinafter provided. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in
Section 7 hereof. This Warrant amends and restates that certain warrant to
purchase 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock issued to Black Diamond Commercial
Finance, L.L.C. by the Company on March 24, 2006 and subsequently transferred to
BDC Finance, L.L.C.
1. Term. The right to subscribe for and purchase shares of Warrant Stock
represented hereby shall commence on the date hereof and shall expire at 5:00
P.M., Eastern Time, on March 24, 2011 (such period being the "Term").
2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and
Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time
during the Term.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant,
in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form
attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the
payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the
Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of
shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised, payable at such Holder's election (i) by certified or official bank
check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or (ii) by surrender to
the Issuer for cancellation of a portion of this Warrant representing that
number of unissued shares of Warrant Stock which is equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing (A) the product obtained by multiplying the Warrant Price
by the number of shares of Warrant Stock being purchased upon such exercise by
(B) the difference obtained by subtracting the Warrant Price from the Current
Market Price per share of Warrant Stock as of the date of such exercise, or
(iii) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the
Holder of this Warrant. In any case where the consideration payable upon such
exercise is being paid in whole or in part pursuant to the provisions of clause
(ii), such exercise shall be accompanied by written notice from the Holder of
this Warrant specifying the manner of payment thereof and containing a
calculation showing the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which
rights are being surrendered thereunder and the net number of shares to be
issued after giving effect to such surrender.
(c) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of
the rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so
purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder
hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding five Business Days after such
exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the
Holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such
exercise, and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing
the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, with respect to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised including any portion which is not
then exercisable pursuant to Section 5 (less any amount thereof which shall have
been cancelled in payment or partial payment of the Warrant Price as hereinabove
provided) shall also be issued to the Holder hereof within such time.
(d) Transferability of Warrant; Warrant Stock. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2(e) hereof, this Warrant may be transferred on the books
of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly
endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and
upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed
upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the
Issuer for Warrants for the purchase of the same aggregate number of shares of
Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number
of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of
such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers
2
or exchanges shall be dated the date hereof and shall be identical to this
Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant
hereto.
(e) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof,
acknowledges and agrees that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon
exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an
exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws.
(ii) This Warrant and all certificates representing shares of
Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a
legend in substantially the following form:
"THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF
MAY NOT BE SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, OR
AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION, UNDER SAID ACT AND LAWS."
(f) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or
at any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder
hereof or of any shares of Warrant Stock issued upon such exercise, acknowledge
in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such
Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such
exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such
Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the
continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.
(g) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(i) Without limiting any other provision hereof, in case the
Issuer after the Closing Date shall do any of the following (each a "Triggering
Event") (a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall
not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger,
or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and
the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with
such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed
into or exchanged for securities of any other Person or cash or any other
property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets
to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification
of its Capital Stock, or (e) enter into any other transaction similar to any of
the foregoing, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper
provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner
provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the
exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to
the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, or is
not redeemed in connection with such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant
Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such
Triggering Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such
3
exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the securities, cash
and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation
of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by
this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to
such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments
provided for in Section 4 hereof. The Issuer shall give reasonable prior notice
(but no less than 5 Business Days' prior notice) of any Triggering Event to the
Holder of this Warrant in accordance with Section 11 hereof.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the
contrary, the Issuer will not effect any Triggering Event unless, prior to the
consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required
to deliver any securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as
provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably
satisfactory to, the Holder, (a) the obligations of the Issuer under this
Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering
Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer
from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (b) the
obligation to deliver to such Holder such securities, cash or property as, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(g), such Holder shall
be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered to such
Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person (which may be in-house counsel),
which opinion of counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder,
stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and
the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this
Section 2(g)) shall be applicable to the securities, cash or property which such
Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the
exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all
shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant,
will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through
the Issuer with respect to issuance (other than restrictions under federal and
state securities laws). The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the
period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times
have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) If any shares of the Common Stock required to be reserved for
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder
require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any
federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in
good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to
cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. To the extent permissible
under the applicable securities exchange rules, if the Issuer shall list any
shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange it will, at its expense, list
thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing of, all shares of
Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as
otherwise provided hereunder and unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at
any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so
listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange, and will
maintain such listing of, any other
4
securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon
the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class
shall be listed on such securities exchange by the Issuer.
(c) The Issuer shall not by any action including, without
limitation, amending its Certificate of Incorporation or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this 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
actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder
hereof against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
without the consent of the Requisite Holders, the Issuer will (i) not permit the
par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant
Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect
in any way the powers, preferences or relative participating, optional or other
special rights of the Holders of the Warrants disproportionately in relation to
the holders of the Common Stock, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably
necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims,
encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein and restrictions
under federal and state securities laws) created by or through Issuer with
respect to such issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or
consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be
necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(d) The Issuer agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the
future issue any press releases or other public disclosure, including any
prospectus, proxy statement or other materials filed with any governmental
authority relating to a public offering of the stock of the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries, using the name of the Holder or its Affiliates without at least
two (2) Business Days prior notice to the Holder and without the prior written
consent of the Holder unless (and only to the extent that) the Issuer or its
Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, the Issuer or
such Affiliate will consult with the Holder before issuing such press release or
other public disclosure.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The Warrant Share
Number and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
upon the happening of certain events, and the Holder hereof shall have
additional rights, as follows:
(a) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Issuer, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, shall subdivide or combine any shares of
Common Stock, (i) in case of subdivision of shares, the Warrant Share Number
shall be proportionately increased (as at the effective date of such
subdivision) to reflect the increase in the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding as a result of such subdivision, or (ii) in the case of a
combination of shares, the Warrant Share Number shall be proportionately reduced
(as at the effective date of such combination) to reflect the reduction in the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of such
combination.
5
(b) Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Issuer, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, shall:
(i) Stock Dividends. Pay a dividend in, or make any other
distribution to its stockholders (without consideration therefor) of, shares of
Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalent, the Warrant Share Number shall be
adjusted, as at the date of such payment or other distribution), to that number
determined by multiplying the Warrant Share Number in effect immediately prior
to such payment or other distribution, by a fraction (1) the numerator of which
shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such dividend or distribution (plus in the event that the Issuer paid cash
for fractional shares, the number of additional shares which would have been
outstanding had the Issuer issued fractional shares in connection with said
dividends), and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution;
or
(ii) Liquidating Dividends, etc. Make a distribution of its
property to the holders of its Common Stock as a dividend in liquidation or
partial liquidation or by way of return of capital other than as a dividend
payable out of funds legally available for dividends under the laws of the State
of Delaware, the Issuer shall concurrently make a cash payment to the Holder of
this Warrant equal to the fair market value of such property as would have been
payable to such Holder had such Holder been the Holder of record of the number
of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant on the record
date for such distribution or if no such record is taken, on the date of such
distribution; and appropriate provision therefor shall be made a part of any
such distribution; or
(c) Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case after the Closing
Date, the Issuer shall take any action affecting its Common Stock, other than an
action described in any of the foregoing Sections 4(a) through 4(b), inclusive,
and the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase
rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and
principle of this Section 4, then the Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted in
such manner and at such time as the Board may in good faith determine to be
equitable in the circumstances.
(d) Adjustment of Warrant Price. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant
Share Number pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the
Warrant Price shall be adjusted, to the nearest ten thousandth of one cent, to
the product obtained by multiplying the Warrant Price immediately prior to such
adjustment in the Warrant Share Number by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the Warrant Share Number immediately before giving effect to such
adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Share Number
immediately after giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that if
at any time, as a result of any adjustments hereunder, the Warrant Price shall
be less than the par value per share of Warrant Stock, then the price payable
per share of Warrant Stock by the Holder hereunder in the event of an exercise
of this Warrant at such time in whole or in part shall be an amount equal to the
par value per share of such Warrant Stock.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, an
6
"adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and
execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring
the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such
adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the
Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share
Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such
certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each
adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with
respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the
Requisite Holders of this Warrant be submitted to an independent accounting firm
not then regularly engaged by the Issuer chosen by the Issuer and reasonably
acceptable to the Requisite Holders, which firm shall deliver a written opinion
as to such matters to the Issuer and the Holders within thirty days after
submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the
parties hereto. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid by
the Issuer.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares,
the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the fair market
value of such fractional shares.
7. Definitions. For the purposes of this Warrant, the following terms have
the following meanings:

directly or indirectly, owns or controls, whether beneficially, or as a trustee,

Person, (c) each of such Person's officers, directors, joint venturers and
partners and (d) in the case of the Issuer, the immediate family members,
spouses and lineal descendants of individuals who are Affiliates of the Issuer.

Market System ("NMS") for the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending three
trading days preceding such date or, if the Common Stock is not listed on the

exchange on which such Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading, or,
if no sale takes place on such day on such exchange, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices on such day as officially quoted on such exchange, or, if
the Common Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on any domestic stock
exchange, then the Current Market Price for each such trading day shall be the
average of the reported closing bid and asked price quotations on such day in

fair market value as so determined is more than 5% greater (if the Holder's
objection was that such determination was too low) or 5% lower (if the Requisite
Holder's objection was that such determination was too high), in each case, than

the Holder. The determination of fair market value by such Independent Appraiser
shall be based upon the fair market value of the Issuer determined on a going
concern basis as between a willing buyer and a willing seller and taking into
account all relevant factors determinative of value (but without taking into
account any discount for minority or non-control ownership positions), and shall
be final and binding on all parties. In determining the fair market value of any
shares of Common Stock, no consideration shall be given to any restrictions on

securities laws, or to the existence or absence of, or any limitations on,
