WARRANT



			
	 	 	 
	Warrant No. A-60
	 	Original Issue Date: July 6, 2011






     EMISPHERE TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies
that, for value received, Iroquois Master Fund Ltd. or its permitted registered assigns (the
“Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of 401,376 shares of
Common Stock (as defined below) of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all
such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $1.09 per share (as
adjusted from time to time as provided herein, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from
time to time on or after the Original Issue Date and through and including the Expiration Date (as
defined below), and subject to the following terms and conditions:



     This Warrant is one of a series of warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities
Purchase Agreement dated June 30, 2011 (the “Subscription Date”), by and between the
Company and each of the purchasers identified therein (the “Purchase Agreement”). All such
warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Warrants.”



     1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant,
capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in
Section 19.



     2. List of Warrant Holders. 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 (which shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any registered
assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder 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.




     3. List of Transfers; Restrictions on Transfer.



     (a) This Warrant may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without the consent of
the Company, except as may otherwise be required by Section 2(g) of the Purchase Agreement.



     (b) The Company shall register any such transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the
Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly
completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration
or transfer, a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (in
accordance with Section 3(e)), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be
issued to the transferee and a new Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so
transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the new Warrant
by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights
and obligations in respect of the new Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant.



     (c) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal
office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 3(e)) representing
in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant,
and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares
as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, no warrants for
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.



     (d) If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this
Warrant, 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 Rule 501(a)
promulgated under the Securities Act.



     (e) Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this
Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as
indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying
this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to this Section 3 or Section 7,
the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common
Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed
the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall



2









 




have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the
Original Issue Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.




     4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.



     (a) All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any
manner permitted by Section 4 of this Warrant at any time and from time to time on or after the
Original Issue Date and through and including the Expiration Date. Subject to Section 11 hereof,
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised
prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value and this Warrant shall be terminated and no
longer outstanding. In addition, if cashless exercise would be permitted under Section 4(c) of
this Warrant, then all or part of this Warrant may be exercised by the registered Holder utilizing
such cashless exercise provisions at any time, or from time to time, on or after the Original Issue
Date and through and including the Expiration Date.



     (b) The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company an exercise notice, in
the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed. If such
Holder is not utilizing the cashless exercise provisions set forth in this Warrant, within one (1)
Trading Day following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to
the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which
this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”). The date the Exercise
Notice is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof)
is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in
order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have
the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing
the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Additionally, at the request of the
Holder, if this Warrant shall have been exercised in part and the Holder shall have surrendered
this Warrant certificate, the Company shall, 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.



     (c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 11 below),
if at the time of exercise hereof, but not prior to six months after the Original Issue Date, a
Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement)) is not effective (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) for the
resale by the Holder of all of the Warrant Shares, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion,
exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise
contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise
Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock
determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):



Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

                           B



3









 






For purposes of the foregoing formula:




			
	           A=	 	the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant
is then being exercised.






			
	           B=	 	as applicable: (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock
on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise
Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to
Section 4 hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and
delivered pursuant to Section 4 hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of
“regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS
promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the
Bid Price of the Common Stock as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the
applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours
thereafter pursuant to Section 4 hereof and (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the
Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such
Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and
delivered pursuant to Section 4 hereof after the close of “regular trading
hours” on such Trading Day.






			
	           C=	 	the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant
Shares at the time of such exercise.





     (d) In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic
calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company
shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve
such dispute in accordance with Section 16.



     5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.



     (a) On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the
Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail
an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, to the Holder and the
Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the third (3rd)
Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice, the Company
shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Warrant Shares can be issued
without restrictive legends, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its
designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if
the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or
the Warrant Shares cannot be issued without restrictive legends, issue and deliver to the Holder
or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in
each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable
Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name



4









 




of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery
of an Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the
holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised,
irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date
of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). The Holder,
or any Person permissibly so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to
have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, except in the case where an exercise of this Warrant is validly made pursuant to a
cashless exercise, the Company’s failure to deliver Warrant Shares to the Holder on or prior to the
later of (x) the close of the third Trading Day after delivery of an Exercise Notice and (y) the
Trading Day in which the Company’s receives the Aggregate Exercise Price (such later date, the
“Share Delivery Deadline”) shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Warrant.




     (b) If by the Share Delivery Deadline, the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a
certificate representing the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to
Section 5(a), and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares,
the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares 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 sole discretion, either (i) pay in cash to the
Holder an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if
any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the
Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Warrant Shares) shall terminate
or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise
hereunder (as the case may be) 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 Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the
applicable Exercise Notice.



     (c) To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any
action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any
provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the
same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or
alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other
circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection
with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any
other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to
timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.



5









 





     6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue
or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect
of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or
Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other
tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving
Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.



     7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a new Warrant (in accordance
with Section 3(e)), but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a
surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a new Warrant under such circumstances shall also
comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable
third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a new Warrant is requested as a result of a
mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as
a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the new Warrant.



     8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise
unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable
and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments
and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and
deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance
with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Warrants
remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved
shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the
Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the Warrants then
outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”, and such reservation failure, an
“Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall promptly take all action necessary to
increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the
Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the Warrants then outstanding. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the
occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the
occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders
for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection
with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use
its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of
Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve
such proposal.

     9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section
9.



     (a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any
class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares, or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise)
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the
Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment
made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and
any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an
adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated
hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect
such event.



     (b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock for no consideration (i) evidences of its
indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by Section
9(a)), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset
(in each case, “Distributed Property”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs
after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise
issuable upon such exercise (if applicable) (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof,
including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage), the Distributed Property that such Holder
would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been
the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date (provided, however,
to the extent that the issuance of any Distributed Property would result in the Holder exceeding
the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to receive such Distributed Property
to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result of
issuance of Distributed Property to such extent) and the Holder’s right to receive such Distributed
Property to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if
ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).



     (c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i)
the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, in
which the shareholders of the Company as of immediately prior to the transaction own less than a
majority of the outstanding stock of the surviving entity, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all
or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender
offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which
holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities,



7









 




cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any
compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or
exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then
the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same
amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the
occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this
Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall not effect any such Fundamental
Transaction unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the
Company, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other
appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such
Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled
to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (c)
shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.




     (d) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise
Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 9, the number of Warrant Shares that may
be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that
after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of
Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment.



     (e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest
cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the
Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common
Stock.



     (f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this
Section 9, the Company at its expense will, at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute
such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting
forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or
type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable),
describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon
which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of
each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.



     (g) Notice of Events. The Company will give written notice to the Holder at least two
(2) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect
to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, or (B) for determining rights to
vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the failure deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of
the corporate action required to be described in such notice. To the extent that any notice
provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company
(including its subsidiaries), the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the SEC (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to a Current Report on



8









 




Form 8-K. It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of execution specified by the
Holder in each Exercise Notice shall be definitive and may not be disputed or challenged by the
Company.




     10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price by delivering
immediately available funds to the Company unless the Holder has specified a “Cashless Exercise” in
the applicable Exercise Notice.



     11. Limitations on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder (other than Bai Feng) hereof to
the extent (but only to the extent) that such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially
own in excess of 4.9% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock. To the extent the above
limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates)
and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such securities owned by the
Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the
first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior
inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the
applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of
exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and
calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership)
shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph
shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this
paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent
with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make
changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage
limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this
Warrant. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the
Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common
Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company
shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares
of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of
convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to
this Warrant or securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. For any reason at any time,
upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day
confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding,
including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities
into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.



     12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection
with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise be
issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the
Closing Bid Price of one Warrant Share on the applicable Exercise Date.

     13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder
(including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given

is delivered via facsimile or electronic mail at the facsimile number or e-mail address specified

sending party), (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of confirmation of receipt, if such notice
or communication is delivered via facsimile or electronic mail at the facsimile number or e-mail

York City time) on any Trading Day (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or
electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party), (iii) the Trading Day following
the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon
actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for such
notices or communications shall be: if to the Company, to Emisphere Technologies, Inc., 240 Cedar

Company shall indicate in writing in accordance with this Section) or (ii) if to the Holder, to the
address, facsimile number or e-mail address appearing on the Warrant Register (or such other
address as the Company shall indicate in writing in accordance with this Section).



     14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon
30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into
which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any
consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to
which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or
shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any
further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as
warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s
last address as shown on the Warrant Register.



     15. Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will
not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, its Bylaws as amended or through
any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out
all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of
the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase
the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the
Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the Warrants are

     16. Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the
Exercise Price, the Closing Bid Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair market value
or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares (as the case may be), the Company or
the Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations
(as the case may be) via facsimile (i) within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the applicable
notice giving rise to such dispute to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) or (ii) if no
notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder learned of the circumstances giving
rise to such dispute. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or
calculation (as the case may be) of the Exercise Price, the Closing Bid Price, the Closing Sale
Price, the Bid Price or fair market value or the number of Warrant Shares (as the case may be)
within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being
submitted to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Company shall, within two (2)
Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price, the
Closing Bid Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair market value (as the case may be)
to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder or
(b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to the Company’s
independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the investment bank or the accountant (as
the case may be) to perform the determinations or calculations (as the case may be) and notify the
Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it
receives such disputed determinations or calculations (as the case may be). Such investment bank’s
or accountant’s determination or calculation (as the case may be) shall be binding upon all parties
absent demonstrable error. If a disputed determination or arithmetic calculation is submitted to
the investment bank or the accountant (as the case may be) pursuant to this Section 16, then the
prevailing party in such determination or calculation shall be reimbursed by the other party for
its costs and expenses (including any and all fees and expenses charged by the investment back or
accountant) incurred in connection with the determination or calculation (as the case may be).



     17. Remedies, Characterization, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The
remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies
available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a
decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the
right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the
terms of this Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization
concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided
for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be
the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be
subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the
Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore
agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall
be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach,
without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is
requested by the Holder that is reasonably necessary to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant. The issuance of shares and certificates
for shares as contemplated



11









 




hereby upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such
shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not
be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance
and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder or its agent on its behalf.




     18. Miscellaneous.



     (a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant
shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or
equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in
writing signed by the Company and the Holder, or their successors and assigns. No waiver shall be
effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.



     (b) This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all
questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant
shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any
choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other
jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the
State of New York. The parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. THE PARTIES HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE
ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY
TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.



     (c) If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise
be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent
that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision
shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant
as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the
parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability
of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or
reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would
otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to
replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect
of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable
provision(s).



12









 





     (d) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and
shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.



     (e) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt
in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially
reasonable substitute therefore, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision
in this Warrant.



     (f) Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall not, by reason of by being a
Holder, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Warrant Shares.
