WARRANT AGREEMENT







To Purchase Shares of the Common Stock of

Dated as of March 31, 2010 (the "Effective Date")







WHEREAS, PolyMedix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), has entered into a Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the "Loan Agreement") with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Warrantholder");







WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Warrantholder, in consideration for, among other things, the financial accommodations provided for in the Loan Agreement, the right to purchase shares of its Common Stock pursuant to this Warrant Agreement (this “Warrant” or this “Agreement”);


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Warrantholder executing and delivering the Loan Agreement and providing the financial accommodations contemplated therein, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Company and Warrantholder agree as follows:


 



	
SECTION 1.  

	
GRANT OF THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK.







 


(a)           For value received, the Company hereby grants to the Warrantholder, and the Warrantholder is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, to subscribe for and purchase, from the Company, up to the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) as determined in accordance with Section 1(b) below, at a purchase price of $1.16 per share (the "Exercise Price").  The number and Exercise Price of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8.  As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:


 


“Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


 


“Charter” means the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or other constitutional document, as may be amended and in effect from time to time.


 


“Common Stock” means the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, as presently constituted under the Charter, and any class and/or series of Company capital stock for or into which such common stock may be converted or exchanged in a reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction ;


 


 




  





  











  






 


“Merger Event” means a merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another entity, in which the shareholders of the Company as of immediately prior to the closing of the transaction own securities representing less than a majority of the total outstanding combined voting equity of the successor or surviving entity as of immediately after the closing of the transaction.


 


"Purchase Price" means, with respect to any exercise of this Warrant, an amount equal to the then-effective Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is then exercised.




 


(b)           Number of Shares.  This Warrant shall be exercisable for the Initial Shares, plus the Additional Shares (if any).


 


(i)           Initial Shares.  As used herein, “Initial Shares” means 627,586 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.


 


(ii)           Additional Shares.  Upon such date (if any) within the Second Draw Period (as defined in the Loan Agreement) as the Warrantholder (or its affiliate) shall first make a Term Loan Advance (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to the Company in excess of $10,000,000 when aggregated with all other Term Loan Advances theretofore made under the Loan Agreement, this Warrant automatically shall become exercisable for such number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as shall equal (A) $182,000, divided by (B) the Exercise Price in effect on and as of the date of such Term Loan Advance, subject to adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.







 



	
SECTION 2.  

	
TERM OF THE AGREEMENT.







 


Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Agreement and the right to purchase Common Stock as granted herein shall commence on the Effective Date and shall be exercisable for a period ending upon the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date.


 



	
SECTION 3.  

	
EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.







 


The purchase rights set forth in this Agreement are exercisable by the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2, by tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly completed and executed.  Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than three (3) business days thereafter, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased and shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the "Acknowledgment of Exercise") indicating the number of shares which remain subject to future purchases, if any.  The Purchase Price shall be paid at the Warrantholder's election by certified or cashier’s check or by wire transfer of funds to the Company’s designated account.


 


Upon partial exercise, the Company shall promptly issue an amended Agreement representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but not limited to the Effective Date hereof.

SECTION 6.  

	
NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER/STOCKHOLDER.







 


This Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder/stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of any of the purchase rights set forth in this Agreement.


 



	
SECTION 7.  

	
WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.







 


The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered holder of this Agreement.  Warrantholder's initial address, for purposes of such registry, is set forth in Section 12(g) below.  Warrantholder may change such address by giving written notice of such changed address to the Company.


 



	
SECTION 8.  

	
ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.







 


The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:


 


(a) Merger Event.  If at any time there shall be Merger Event, then, as a part of such Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Agreement, the number of shares of preferred stock or other securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Merger Event that would have been issuable if Warrantholder had exercised this Agreement immediately prior to the Merger Event.  Following any Merger Event, the term Initial Shares and Additional Shares, if any, shall be deemed to refer to the shares for which this Agreement is thereafter exercisable in accordance with the provisions hereof.


 


(b) Reclassification of Shares.  Except as set forth in Section 8(a), if the Company at any time shall, by combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Agreement shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Agreement immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.


 


(c) Subdivision or Combination of Shares.  If the Company at any time shall combine or subdivide its Common Stock, (i) in the case of a subdivision, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Agreement shall be proportionately increased, or (ii) in the case of a combination, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Agreement shall be proportionately decreased.


 


(d) Stock Dividends.  If the Company at any time while this Agreement is outstanding and unexpired shall:


 


 




  





3











  






 


(i) pay a dividend with respect to the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or


 


(ii) make any other distribution with respect to Common Stock (other than a regular cash dividend out of undistributed net income) except any distribution specifically provided for in any other clause of this Section 8, then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such that the Warrantholder shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant a proportionate share of any such distribution as though it were the holder of the Common Stock as of the record date fixed for the determination of the stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.


 


(e)  Notice of Adjustments.  If: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend or distribution upon its outstanding Common Stock, payable in stock, cash, property or other securities (assuming Warrantholder in its capacity as lender under the Loan Agreement consents to such dividend); (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be any Merger Event; (iv) the Company shall sell, lease, license or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets; or (v) there shall be any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give the Warrantholder notice thereof at the same time and in the same manner as it gives notice thereof to the holders of Common Stock.


 



	
SECTION 9.  

	
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.







 


(a) Reservation of Common Stock.  The Company covenants and agrees that all Initial Shares and Additional Shares, if any, that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will, at all times during the term hereof, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.  If at any time during the term hereof the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant in full, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.


 


(b) Due Authority.  The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder, including the issuance to Warrantholder of the right to acquire the shares of Common Stock, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.  This Agreement: (1) does not violate the Company's Charter or current bylaws; (2) does not contravene any law or governmental rule, regulation or order applicable to it; and (3) does not and will not contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound.  This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.


 


 




  





4











  






 


(c) Consents and Approvals.  No consent or approval of, giving of notice to, registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency is required with respect to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, except for the filing of notices pursuant to Regulation D under the Act and any filing required by applicable state securities law, which filings will be effective by the time required thereby.


 


(d) Issued Securities.  All issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and other securities of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.  All outstanding shares of Common Stock and other securities were issued in full compliance with all federal and state securities laws.


 


(e) Insurance.  The Company has in full force and effect insurance policies, with extended coverage, insuring the Company and its property and business against such losses and risks, and in such amounts, as are customary for corporations engaged in a similar business and similarly situated and as otherwise may be required pursuant to the terms of any other contract or agreement.


 


(f) Exempt Transaction.  Subject to the accuracy of the Warrantholder's representations in Section 10, the issuance of the Common Stock upon exercise of this Agreement will constitute a transaction exempt from (i) the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act, in reliance upon Section 4(2) thereof, and (ii) the qualification requirements of the applicable state securities laws.


 


(g) Registration under Act.  The Company shall at its sole expense, not later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Effective Date, use its reasonable best efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder (including, without limitation, the Initial Shares and the Additional Shares) to be registered for re-sale by the Warrantholder by means of an effective registration statement filed under the Act on an appropriate form for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act and permitting the resale of such shares of Common Stock by the Warrantholder in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in such registration statement, all pursuant to and in accordance with that certain Registration Rights Agreement of even date herewith between the Company and Warrantholder.


 


(h) Information Rights.  At all times (if any) during the term of this Warrant when (i) the Company shall not be required to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and/or (ii) the Common Stock shall no longer be listed or quoted for trading on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market, Warrantholder shall be entitled to the information rights contained in Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement, and in any such event Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Agreement by this reference as though fully set forth herein, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver a Compliance Certificate once all Indebtedness (as defined in the Loan Agreement) owed by the Company to Warrantholder has been repaid.


 



	
SECTION 10.  

	
REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE WARRANTHOLDER.







 


This Agreement has been entered into by the Company in reliance upon the following representations and covenants of the Warrantholder:


 


(a) Investment Purpose.  This Warrant and the shares issued on exercise hereof will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of applicable federal and state securities laws, and the Warrantholder has no present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the same except pursuant to a registration or exemption.


 


 




  





5











  






 


(b) Private Issue.  The Warrantholder understands (i) that the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Agreement is not, as of the Effective Date, registered under the Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws, and (ii) that the Company's reliance on exemption from such registration is predicated on the representations set forth in this Section 10.


 


(c) Financial Risk.  The Warrantholder has such knowledge and experi­ence in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment.

Each taker and holder of this Agreement, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Agreement, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Agreement shall have been so endorsed and its transfer recorded on the Company’s books, shall be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Agreement as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Agreement.  The transfer of this Agreement shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon receipt by the Company of a notice of transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III (the "Transfer Notice"), at its principal offices and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer.  Until the Company receives such Transfer Notice, the Company may treat the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.

(c) No Impairment of Rights.  The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any other means, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, 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 in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder against impairment.

(h) Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets, letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.  None of the terms of this Agreement may be amended except by an instrument executed by each of the parties hereto.


 


(i) Headings.  The various headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provisions hereof.


 


 




  





7











  






 


(j) Advice of Counsel.  Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed (or had an opportunity to discuss) with its counsel this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Sections 12(n), 12(o), 12(p). 12(q) and 12(r).


 


(k) No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.


 


(l) No Waiver.  No omission or delay by Warrantholder at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by the Company at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Warrantholder is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Warrantholder to enforce such provisions thereafter.


 


(m) Survival.  All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto shall be for the benefit of Warrantholder and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the expiration or other termination of this Agreement.


 


(n) Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.


 


(o) Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue.  All judicial proceedings arising in or under or related to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Delaware.  By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to personal jurisdiction in County of Newcastle, State of Delaware; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in County of Newcastle, State of Delaware; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement.  Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 12(g), and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 12(g).  Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.


 


(p) Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial.  Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws.  EACH OF THE COMPANY AND WARRANTHOLDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, "CLAIMS") ASSERTED BY THE COMPANY AGAINST WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST THE COMPANY.  This waiver extends to all such claims, including Claims that involve persons or entities other the Company and Warrantholder; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship between the Company and Warrantholder; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement.


 


 




  





8











  






 


(q) Arbitration.  If the Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial set forth in Section 12(p) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of JAMS (the “Rules”), such arbitration to occur before one arbitrator, which arbitrator shall be a retired Delaware state judge or a retired Federal court judge.  Such proceeding shall be conducted in County of Newcastle, State of Delaware, with Delaware rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such arbitration.  The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding on the parties, and shall be final and nonappealable to the maximum extent permitted by law.  Any judgment rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction and enforced by the prevailing party as a final judgment of such court.


 


(r) Pre-arbitration Relief.  In the event Claims are to be resolved by arbitration, either party may seek from a court of competent jurisdiction identified in Section 12(o), any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by binding arbitration.


 


(s) Counterparts.  This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.


 


(t) Specific Performance.  The parties hereto hereby declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to Warrantholder by reason of the Company’s failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable by Warrrantholder.  If Warrantholder institutes any action or proceeding to specifically enforce the provisions hereof, any person against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense therein that Warrantholder has an adequate remedy at law, and such person shall not offer in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such remedy at law exists.


 


(u) Limitation on Exercise.  This Warrant may not be exercised to purchase Common Stock to the extent that the purchase of such Common Stock (or the right to purchase such Common Stock) would cause such Warrantholder to become an “Acquiring Person,” as that term is used in that certain Rights Agreement dated as of May 12, 2009, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent.


 


(v) Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant.  If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.  Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
