All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  No further approval or authorization of any stockholder or the Board of Directors of the Company is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities.  The issuance of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement will not violate any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal granted by the Company that will not be validly waived or complied with, and will be free of any liens or encumbrances, other than any liens or encumbrances created by or imposed upon the Investors through no action of the Company. There are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.


 


(e)      Litigation.  There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any governmental instrumentality or other agency or regulatory authority now pending, or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company which, if adversely determined, could materially and adversely affect the business, assets, operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company. There is no action, suit or proceeding by the Company currently pending or that the Company currently intends to initiate.

(g)      Governmental Consents.  Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investors set forth herein, no registration or filing with, or consent or approval of or other action by, any Federal, state or other government agency under laws and regulations thereof as now in effect is or will be necessary for the valid execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, and the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities, other than the filing of a Form D with the SEC and the filings required by state securities law.


 


(h)      Regulatory Matters.  The clinical, pre-clinical and other trials, studies and tests conducted by or on behalf of or sponsored by the Company relating to its pharmaceutical product candidates were and, if still pending, are being conducted in all material respects in accordance with medical and scientific protocols and research procedures that the Company reasonably believes are appropriate.  The descriptions of the results of such trials, studies and tests as set forth in the SEC Documents (as defined in Section 3(i) of this Agreement), provided to the Investors are accurate in all material respects and fairly present the data derived from such trials, studies and tests.  All clinical trials conducted by the Company have been in compliance in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations.  The Company has not received any warning letters or written correspondence from the FDA and/or any other governmental entity or agency requiring the termination, suspension or modification of any clinical, pre-clinical and other trials, studies or tests that are material to the Company.   None of the clinical trials that the Company is currently conducting or sponsoring is subject to any temporary or permanent clinical hold by the FDA or any other governmental entity or agency, and the Company has no reason to believe that such clinical trials will be subject to any such action.  The Company is planning to file an Investigational New Drug Application with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for a phase II clinical trial it intends to conduct with respect to its orally ingestible insulin capsule (ORMD0801) (the “IND Application”).  The IND Application will be in material compliance with applicable laws and rules and regulations when filed.


 


(i)       SEC Documents; Financial Statements.  For the past twelve (12) months, the Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”).  The Company has delivered to the Investors or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of each of the SEC Documents not available on the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system of the SEC (“EDGAR”) that have been requested by an Investor.  As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing.  Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).  The Company has no liabilities or obligations required to be disclosed in the SEC Documents that are not so disclosed in the SEC Documents, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business.


 




  





6











  






(j)      Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. Each SEC Document containing financial statements that has been filed with or submitted to the SEC was accompanied by the certifications required to be filed or submitted by the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”); at the time of filing or submission of each such certification, such certification was true and accurate and complied with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; such certifications contain no qualifications or exceptions to the matters certified therein and have not been modified or withdrawn; and neither the Company nor any of its officers has received notice from any governmental entity questioning or challenging the accuracy, completeness, form or manner of filing or submission of such certification;


 


(k)      Absence of Changes.  The Common Stock is quoted for trading on the OTCBB.  No order ceasing, halting or suspending trading in the Common Stock nor prohibiting the sale of the Common Stock has been issued to and is outstanding against the Company or its directors, officers or promoters, and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, no investigations or proceedings for such purposes are pending or threatened.  The Company has not taken any action which would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of quotation of the Common Stock on or from the OTCBB and the Company has complied in all material respects with the rules and regulations of eligibility on the OTCBB.  The Company has not taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead any creditor or creditors to do so.  Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company reasonably believes that (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business 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 Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company 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 liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid.  The Company does not intend 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).  The SEC Documents set forth as of the dates thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” shall mean (a) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (b) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present value of any lease payments due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

(l)       Patents and Trademarks. The Company has rights to use all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or material for use in connection with its business as described in the SEC Documents and which the failure to so have would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects, or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). The Company has not received any notice (written or otherwise) that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company violate or infringe upon the rights of any other person or entity. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another person or entity of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company has taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of its Intellectual Property Rights.


 


(m)     Offering.  Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investors contained in Section 3.2 of this Agreement, the offer, issue, and sale of the Securities are exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the registration or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws.  Neither the Company nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf will knowingly take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemptions.

The Company further acknowledges that no Investor is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and any advice given by any Investor or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to such Investor’s purchase of the Securities.  The Company further represents to each Investor that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents and issue the Securities has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

(p)      No Integrated Offering.  Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of any of the Securities under the Securities Act or cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable shareholder approval provisions, which would undermine the private placement exemption of this offering or cause it to require shareholder approval, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the OTCBB or any other exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.


 


(q)      Manipulation of Price.  The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company.


 


(r)      Disclosure.  All disclosure provided to the Investors with regard to the representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.1 regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished in writing by the Company is true and correct in all material respects and does 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, together with the disclosure in the SEC Documents, not misleading.

Such Investor acknowledges that it has received no representations or warranties from the Company or its employees or agents in making this investment decision other than as set forth in this Agreement.


 


(f)      Independent Investment Decision.  Such Investor has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement, such decision has been independently made by such Investor and such Investor confirms that it has only relied on the advice of its own business and/or legal counsel and not on the advice of any other Investor’s business and/or legal counsel in making such decision.

(e)      “Potential Material Event” means any of the following: (i) the possession by the Company of material information not ripe for disclosure in a registration statement, as determined in good faith by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company that disclosure of such information in a Registration Statement would be detrimental to the business and affairs of the Company; or (ii) any material engagement or activity by the Company which would, in the good faith determination of the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company, be adversely affected by disclosure in a registration statement at such time, which determination shall be accompanied by a good faith determination by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company that the applicable Registration Statement would be materially misleading absent the inclusion of such information; provided that, (i) the Company shall not use such right with respect to the Registration Statement for more than an aggregate of 90 days in any 12-month period; and (ii) the number of days the Company is required to keep the Registration Statement effective under Section 4(b)(v) above shall be extended by the number of days for which the Company shall have used such right.


 


(f)       The Investors will cooperate with the Company in all respects in connection with this Agreement, including timely supplying all information reasonably requested by the Company (which shall include all information regarding the Investors and proposed manner of sale of the Registrable Securities required to be disclosed in any Registration Statement) and executing and returning all documents reasonably requested in connection with the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities and entering into and performing its obligations under any underwriting agreement, if the offering is an underwritten offering, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering.  Any delay or delays caused by the Investors, or by any other purchaser of securities of the Company having registration rights similar to those contained herein, by failure to cooperate as required hereunder shall not constitute a breach or default of the Company under this Agreement.

(g)      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the SEC limits the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act, then the Company shall so advise all the Investors holding Registrable Securities which were proposed to be registered in such Registration Statement, and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be included in the Registration Statement shall be allocated to the holders of such Registrable Securities so requesting to be registered on a pro rata basis, based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by all such Investors.


 


4.2           Registration Expenses.  All fees, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and in complying with applicable securities and “blue sky” laws (including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees of the Company, registration, qualification, notification and filing fees, printing expenses, escrow fees, blue sky fees and expenses and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration) shall be borne by the Company.  The Investors shall bear the cost of underwriting and/or brokerage discounts, fees and commissions, if any, applicable to the Registrable Securities being registered and the fees and expenses of its counsel.  The Company shall qualify any of the Registrable Securities for sale in such states as an Investor reasonably designates.  However, the Company shall not be required to qualify in any state which will require an escrow or other restriction relating to the Company and/or the sellers, or which will require the Company to qualify to do business in such state or require the Company to file therein any general consent to service of process.  The Company at its expense will supply each Investor with copies of the applicable Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein and other related documents in such quantities as may be reasonably requested by such Investor.


 


4.3           Registration Procedures. Whenever the Company is required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to effect the registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), as expeditiously as possible, subject to the assistance and cooperation as reasonably required of the Investors with respect to each Registration Statement:


 


(a)       prior to the filing with the SEC of any Registration Statement (including any amendments thereto) and the distribution or delivery of any prospectus (including any supplements thereto), provide draft copies thereof to the Investor and reflect in such documents all such comments as the Investor (and its counsel), reasonably may propose respecting the Selling Shareholders and Plan of Distribution sections (or equivalents) and (B) furnish to the Investor such numbers of copies of a prospectus including a preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any prospectus, as applicable, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as the Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor;


 




  





14











  






(b)      register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Investor shall reasonably request (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.2 above), and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable the Investor to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdiction of the securities owned by the Investor;


 


(c)      cause the Registrable Securities to be quoted or listed on each service on which the Common Stock of the Company is then quoted or listed;


 


(d)      notify the Investor, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto covered by the Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which it has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of  the circumstances then existing, and the Company shall prepare and file a curative amendment as promptly as commercially reasonable;


 


(e)      as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify the Investor (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible time and take all lawful action to effect the withdrawal, recession or removal of such stop order or other suspension; and


 


(f)      provide a transfer agent and registrar for all securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and a CUSIP number for all such securities.


 


4.4           Piggyback Registration Rights. In addition to the registration rights set forth in Section 4.1 of this Agreement, if the Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 4.1 is not filed by the Filing Deadline, or otherwise declared effective by the SEC, then the Investors shall also have certain “piggy-back” registration rights as follows:


 


(a)      If at any time after the issuance of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act registering any shares of equity securities (but other than registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a SEC Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future), the Company shall give written notice to the Investors prior to such filing.


 


(b)      Within twenty (20) calendar days after such notice from the Company, each Investor shall give written notice to the Company whether or not it desires to have all of its Registrable Securities included in the registration statement.  If an Investor fails to give such notice within such period, such Investor shall not have further rights hereunder to have its Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement.  If an Investor gives such notice, then the Company shall include such Investor’s Registrable Securities in the registration statement, at Company’s sole cost and expense, subject to the remaining terms of this Section 4.4.


 




  





15











  






(c)      If the registration statement relates to an underwritten offering, and the underwriter shall determine in writing that the total number of shares of equity securities to be included in the offering, including the Registrable Securities, shall exceed the amount which the underwriter deems to be appropriate for the offering, the number of shares of the Registrable Securities shall be reduced in the same proportion as the remainder of the shares in the offering and the Investor’s Registrable Securities included in such registration statement will be reduced proportionately, provided, however, that securities being offered by the Company or by a shareholder pursuant to demand registration rights shall be entitled to priority over the Registrable Securities.  Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For this purpose, if other securities in the registration statement are derivative securities, their underlying shares shall be included in the computation.  The Investor shall enter into such agreements as may be reasonably required by the underwriters and the Investor shall pay the underwriters commissions relating to the sale of their respective Registrable Securities.


 


(d)      The Investors shall have an unlimited number of opportunities to have the Registrable Securities registered under this Section 4.4, provided that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Security or keep any Registration Statement effective beyond such period required under Section 4.1(b) of this Agreement.


 


(e)      The Investors shall furnish in writing to the Company such information as the Company shall reasonably require in connection with a registration statement.


 


(f)       The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section ‎4.4 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not any Investor has elected to include securities in such registration.


 


4.5           Indemnity and Contribution.


 


(a)      The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, its officers, directors, employees, partners, legal counsel and accountants, and each person controlling such Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any direct losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which such Investor or such other indemnified persons may become subject  (including in settlement of litigation, whether commenced or threatened) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement, including all documents filed as a part thereof and information deemed to be a part thereof, on the effective date thereof, or any amendment or supplements thereto, and the Company will, as incurred, reimburse such Investor, each of its officers, directors, employees, partners, legal counsel and accountants, and each person controlling such Investor, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend or settling such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) arises out of, or is based upon, (i) the failure of such Investor, or any of its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, to comply with such Investor's covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement with respect to the sale of Registrable Securities, (ii) an untrue statement or omission in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of such Investor, or any of its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, and stated to be specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement and not corrected in a timely manner by such Investor in writing or (iii) an untrue statement or omission in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus, or supplement or amendment thereto, that was delivered to such Investor prior to the pertinent sale or sales by such Investor and not delivered by such Investor to the individual or entity to which it made such sale(s) prior to such sale(s).


 




  





16











  






(b)      Each Investor, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, employees, partners, legal counsel and accountants, and each person controlling the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any direct losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which the Company or such other indemnified persons may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon (i) the failure of such Investor or any of its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement with respect to the sale of Registrable Securities; or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of such Investor and stated to be specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement; provided, however, that such Investor shall not be liable in any such case for (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission in any prospectus or Registration Statement which statement has been corrected, in writing, by such Investor and delivered to the Company before the sale from which such loss occurred; or (ii) an untrue statement or omission in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus, or supplement or amendment thereto, that was delivered to such Investor prior to the pertinent sale or sales by such Investor and delivered by such Investor to the individual or entity to which it made such sale(s) prior to such sale(s), and such Investor will, as incurred, reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Investor shall not be liable or required to indemnify the Company or such other indemnified persons in the aggregate for any amount in excess of the net amount received by such Investor from the sale of the Registrable Securities, to which such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or action proceeding in respect thereof) relates.


 




  





17











  






(c)      Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 4.5, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof.  After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of the indemnifying person’s election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, make it inappropriate under applicable laws or codes of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, further, that the indemnifying person shall not be obligated to assume the expenses of more than one counsel to represent all indemnified persons.  In the event of such separate counsel, such counsel shall agree to reasonably cooperate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no indemnifying person shall be required to pay any amounts of indemnification or contribution with respect to a settlement of any Proceeding or losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities if such settlement is effected without the consent of the indemnifying person.


 


(d)      If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any direct losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Investors, or its respective agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or an Investor, or its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Company and such Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d).  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  In any event, such Investor shall not be liable or required to contribute to the Company in the aggregate for any amount in excess of the net amount received by such Investor from the sale of its Registrable Securities.

4.6           Market Standoff.    Each Investor hereby agrees that, if so requested by the representative of the lead or managing underwriters of a public offering (the “Managing Underwriter”), such Investor shall not, without the prior consent of the Managing Underwriter (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Registrable Securities or any other securities of the Company or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Registrable Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Registrable Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, during the period specified by the Managing Underwriter (the “Market Standoff Period”), with such period not to exceed 10 days prior to the anticipated effective date of such registration statement and 90 days following the effective date of such registration statement. Each Investor further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in the Company’s offering on the same terms of this Section 4.6.

ARTICLE VI.


MISCELLANEOUS


 


6.1           Certificates; Resales.


 


(a)      The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws.  In connection with any transfer of the Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144(b)(1), to the Company or to an Affiliate of an Investor, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, 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 of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.


 




  





19











  






(b)      Certificates evidencing the Securities will contain the following legend, until such time as they are not required:


 


[NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED] [THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED] WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.  [THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES] [THESE SECURITIES] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.


 


(c)      Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 5.1(b) of this Agreement), (i) following a sale of such securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, or (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor was not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC).  The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder in contemplation of a sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.  If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance of the Warrant Shares, such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends.  The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 5.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend accompanied by a customary representation letter , deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 5.1(c) except in the case of an Investor or its permitted transferee becoming an Affiliate.  Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Investors by crediting the account of the Investor’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System.

6.14           Governing Law; Venue and Waiver of Jury Trial.  This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed  by the  internal  laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction to the rights and duties of the  parties.  The Company and the Investors agree that any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought to any court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Wilmington, Delaware and that the parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such court.

The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.  If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.


 


6.16           Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


 


To Purchase ______ Shares of Common Stock of


 


ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC.


 


THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, _________  (the “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to ________ shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).  The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).







Section 1.   Definitions.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated November __, 2012, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.


 




  





 











  






 


Section 2.       Exercise.


 


(a)    Exercise of Warrant.  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto at the headquarters of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company); and within 5 Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within 5 Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.  Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased hereunder and the date of such purchases.  The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within three Business Days of receipt of such notice.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.


 


(b)    Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.50, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).


 


(c)    Intentionally Left Blank


 


(d)    Mechanics of Exercise.


 


(i)                                                Authorization of Warrant Shares.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).


 


(ii)                           Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise.  Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the Company is a participant in such system, so long as the certificates therefor are not required to bear a legend regarding restriction on transferability, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within three (3) Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”).  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vii) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid.


 




  





A - 2











  






 


(iii)                                              Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.


 


(iv)                                              Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares by the close of business on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise by providing written notice that is received by the Company prior to the issuance of the Warrant Shares.


 


(v)                                               Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise by the close of business on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a prior sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall within three Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (1) 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 less the aggregate Exercise Price (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock), solely with respect to such exercise, shall terminate or (2) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate 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 certificates. 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 Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.


 




  





A - 3











  






 



(vi)         No Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.




 


(vii)         Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance and delivery of certificates for Warrant Shares 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 certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.


 


(e)    Closing of Books.  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.


 


Section 3.    Certain Adjustments.


 


(a)    Stock Dividends and Splits.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of Warrant), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) 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 this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.


 




  





A - 4











  






 


(b)    Reclassification Transaction.  In the event of a reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, including, without limitation, as a result of a merger or consolidation, the Company shall thereafter deliver at the time of purchase of Warrant Shares under this Warrant and in lieu of the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which the right to purchase is then being exercised, the number of shares of the Company of the appropriate class or classes resulting from said reclassification or reclassifications as the Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which the right of purchase hereunder is then being exercised had the right of purchase been exercised before such reclassification or reorganization.


 


(c)    Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Company, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than shares of Common Stock) or in cash or other property (other than cash out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of the Company and/or cash and other property to which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised into Common Stock on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such securities receivable, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Holder, provided, however, (x) in the event that the holders of Common Stock have received options, warrants or rights that have expired prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive such options, warrants or rights and (y) in the event of a distribution consisting of cash as referred to above, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such distribution will be proportionately reduced by the amount of the distribution per share of Common Stock such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such cash distribution.


 


(d)         Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer is accepted by the holders of more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any Common Stock held by the Person or Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the Persons making or party to, such tender or exchange offer), or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Warrant Shares or any compulsory share exchange (other than a share split or reverse share split) pursuant to which the Warrant Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of stock, or other securities or property of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder to which the Holder would have been entitled if the Holder had exercised its rights pursuant to the Warrant immediately prior thereto, provided, however, that if the Fundamental Transaction involves the acquisition by a third party of all of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company for cash, this Warrant shall terminate upon, and be no longer exercisable after, the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction.  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Warrant Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Warrant Shares 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.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, 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 exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. 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 3(d) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.


 




  





A - 5











  






 


(e)    Voluntary Adjustment By 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 of the Company. 


 


(f)         Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to of this Section 3, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted 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.


 


(g)    Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.


 




  





A - 6











  






 


(h)    Notice to Holders.


 


(i)         Adjustment to Exercise Price.  Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.


 


(ii)         Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall notify the Holder at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  Any such notice or information published via international wire or furnished to or filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shall satisfy this notice requirement.


 




  





A - 7











  






 


Section 4.   Transfer of Warrant.


 


(a)    Transferability.  Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.


 


(b)    New Warrants.  This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.


 


(c)    Warrant Register.  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.


 


(d)    Transfer Restrictions.  If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act or a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act.


 




  





A - 8











  






 


Section 5.    Miscellaneous.


 


(a)    No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise.  This Warrant does not entitle the 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 such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of the date of such surrender or payment.


 


(b)    Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.


 


(c)    Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.


 


(d)    Authorized Shares.


 


The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.


 


Except and to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company 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 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 actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.


 




  





A - 9











  






 


(e)                     Jurisdiction.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.


 


(f)                      Restrictions.  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.


 


(g)                     Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any damages to the Holder, and if the Holder shall prevail against the Company in a final non-appealable court judgment, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.


 


(h)                     Notices.  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.


 


(i)                      Limitation of Liability.  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.


 


(j)      Remedies. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant, without duplication. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.


 




  





A - 10











  






 


(k)                     Successors and Assigns.  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.


 


(l)                      Amendment.  This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.


 


(m)                    Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.


 


(n)     Headings.  The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
