Item 1.01.  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Offering of Common Stock and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

 

On March 1, 2013, EntreMed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EntreMed” or the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a registered transaction (the “Offering”) 4,495,828 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,247,912 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”).  The Shares and Warrants, other than the Warrant we will issue to our placement agent, were sold in units (the “Units”) consisting of 1 share of Common Stock and a Warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants included in the Units have a three year term from the date of issuance, are exercisable at any time 181 days after the date of issuance and will include provisions providing for adjustments to the number of shares exercisable thereunder upon stock dividends, stock splits and similar events. The Shares and the Warrants are immediately separable and were issued separately.

 

In accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, EntreMed will issue and sell the Units to the Investors for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10,790,000, or $2.40 per Unit.   The exercise price of each Warrant included in the Unit is $2.91 per share, which price per share represents the consolidated closing bid price of our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market on February 28, 2013.

 

Copies of the form of Warrant included in the Units and the form of Securities Purchase Agreement are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.  The foregoing descriptions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Warrants are summaries only and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such exhibits.

 

Burrill Securities LLC acted as exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) on a best efforts basis for the Offering.  Pursuant to the placement agent agreement, dated as of December 11, 2012, by and between the Company and the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agent Agreement”), the Placement Agent received a placement fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Units in the Offering, excluding any investment made by any Investors based in China and by certain existing Investors. In addition, the Company will issue to the Placement Agent a warrant (the “Agent’s Warrant”) to purchase 61,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The Agent’s Warrant will be exercisable on a cashless “net” basis beginning 181 days after the date of issuance and will expire on October 9, 2017. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection with this offering in an amount not greater than $25,000 (unless the Company provides prior written authorization for expenses in excess of this amount), subject to compliance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Rule 5110(f)(2)(D).  Copies of the Placement Agent Agreement and the form of Agent’s Warrant are filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.  The foregoing descriptions of the Placement Agent Agreement and the Agent’s Warrant are summaries only and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such exhibits.

 

EntreMed made the Offering pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-184128) previously filed and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 9, 2012, and a base prospectus dated as of the same date, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement filed with the Commission on March 1, 2013.

 

The aggregate net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting the Placement Agent’s fees and estimated other offering expenses payable by EntreMed, is expected to be approximately $10.4 million (excluding any proceeds received upon exercise of the Warrants).

EntreMed, Inc.

Rockville, MD 20850

 

Dear Cynthia:

 

We are pleased that EntreMed, Inc. (including its affiliates, the “ Company ”) has chosen to engage Burrill LLC (“ Burrill ”) to act as its investment banker for a capital raising (a “ Financing ”). This letter agreement (the “ Agreement ”) contains the terms pursuant to which the Company agre es to engage Burrill and Burrill agrees to provide services to the Company (the “ Engagement ”).

 

1. Services of Burrill. Burrill is prepared to commence work immediately, including completing its final due diligence activities and assisting the Company in preparing and providing its marketing materials and any necessary publicly-filed documents or other reasonably requested materials (“ Offering Materials ”) for the Financing. Burrill will also advise the Company in structuring the Financing. Burrill will further: (a) identify and contact suitable investors; (b) respond to questions, coordinate requests for information and meetings with the Company, and solicit commitments from investors and (c) otherwise assist in closing the Financing. It is understood that execution of this Agreement does not assure the successful completion of the Financing.

 

2. The Company’s Actions and Responsibilities. In connection with Burrill’s activities:

 

(a) The Company will comply with all applicable securities and other laws in connection with the Financing including, without limitation, making all appropriate filings with applicable federal and state securities commissions or authorities, if so required;

 

(b) The Company authorizes Burrill to transmit the Offering Materials to prospective purchasers in the Financing, as may be identified to the Company. The Company will be solely responsible for the contents of the Offering Materials.

 

(c) The Company will not formally engage any other person to act on its behalf as investment banker with respect to soliciting investors for a Financing for a period of 90 days, commencing on the date of this letter, subject to the termination clause included in this document, entitled Term of Engagement. Nonetheless, Burrill reserves the right to involve other Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“ FINRA ”) member Broker Dealers in good standing in the Financing, subject to the approval of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to engage a finder or agent based in China to solicit investors based in China. Such potential local investors (“ China Local Investors ”) and certain existing investors will be approved by the Company and be identified in writing in the form of Exhibit A, which exhibit may be amended from time to time as appropriate by the parties .

 

3. Fees & Expenses.

 

(a) The Company shall pay no upfront or retainer fees to Burrill. As compensation for the services to be provided by Burrill hereunder, the Company agrees to pay to Burrill a cash fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Financing, excluding any investment made by any China Local Investors unless such local investment was identified and facilitated by Burrill with the Company’s approval. If the Financing is consummated by means of more than one closing, Burrill shall be entitled to the fees provided herein with respect to each such closing. In addition, at the closing of the Financing, the Company will issue to Burrill a warrant (the “ Agent’s Warrant ”) to purchase a number of the Company’s common shares equal to 3% of the common shares sold in the Financing, with an exercise price equal to 125% of the issuance price per share in the Financing. The Agent’s Warrant shall be exercisable on a cashless “net” basis for a period of 5 years following the closing of the Financing. The Company will register with the Securities and Exchange Commission the shares issuable upon exercise of the Agent’s Warrant. The cash fee will be paid and the warrants issued at the closing date of the Financing.

 

 
 

 

 

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, , the Company shall reimburse Burrill for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, evidenced by a third party receipt, incurred from time to time in connection with the provision of the services hereunder, including reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel, travel-related expenses, postage, telecommunication and duplicating expenses, but in no event greater than $25,000 in the aggregate without the prior written approval of the Company. Such reimbursement shall be payable immediately upon the closing of the Financing (but only in the event of the closing) from the gross proceeds of the securities sold.

 

4. Term of Engagement. The term (the “Term”) of this Agreement will commence on the date first written above. Following the initial thirty (30) day term, either the Company or Burrill may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving 30 days prior written notice to the other party. Following the Company’s termination of this Agreement, if the Company, at any time within a 6-month period following the termination of this Agreement, executes a Financing with any investors with whom Burrill engaged in substantive discussions or negotiations (as evidenced by conference calls or direct meetings with the Company and investors regarding the Financing) regarding the Financing, the Company will pay to Burrill the fees that would have been payable to Burrill in accordance with Section 3 above (the “ Tail Fees ”). Notwithstanding the previous sentence, should Burrill be engaged by the Company within the next twelve months individually or in conjunction with any other investment banking firm for further capital raising activities, then the economic arrangements incorporated in that financing transaction will supercede any Tail Fees. The paragraphs in this Agreement entitled “Fees and Expenses” (including, without limitation the obligation to pay additional fees and issue additional warrants upon additional closings of the Financing), “Information”, “Certain Acknowledgments”, “Indemnification and Contribution”, “Limitation of Liability” and “Miscellaneous” and any exhibits, annexes or schedules thereto will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

 

5. Information . The Company recognizes and confirms that Burrill in acting pursuant to this Engagement will be using information in reports and other materials provided by parties other than Burrill, including, without limitation, information provided by or on behalf of the Company or any prospective party to the Financing, and that Burrill does not assume responsibility for and may rely, without independent verification, on the accuracy and completeness of any such information.

 

6. Certain Acknowledgments . The Company acknowledges that Burrill has been retained hereunder solely as an adviser to the Company and that the Company’s engagement of Burrill is as an independent contractor and not in any other capacity including as a fiduciary. Burrill may, to the extent it deems appropriate, render the services hereunder through one or more of its affiliates. Neither this Engagement, nor the delivery of any advice in connection with this Engagement, is intended to confer rights upon any persons not a party hereto (including security holders, employees or creditors of the Company) as against Burrill or Burrill’s affiliates or their respective directors, officers, agents and employees. The Company acknowledges that Burrill may, at its own expense, and after the closing of a Financing, provided such signing has previously been publicly announced by Company, place customary announcements or advertisements in financial newspapers, journals and marketing materials describing Burrill’s services hereunder. After a publicly-announced closing of a Financing, Burrill will not need to obtain the consent of the Company when referring to the Company in publications, listings and marketing materials which list transactions in which Burrill has participated.

The Company acknowledges that it is not relying on the advice of Burrill for tax, legal or accounting matters. It is seeking and will rely on the advice of its own professionals and advisors for such matters and it will make an independent analysis and decision regarding any Financing based upon such advice.

 

7. Indemnification and Contribution . In connection with engagements such as this, it is Burrill’s policy to enter into indemnification and contribution agreements. The Company agrees to the provisions with respect to the indemnification, contribution and the other matters set forth in Annex 1 , which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

 

8. Limitation of Liability . The Company agrees that in no event shall Burrill’s liability under this Agreement exceed the total fees received by Burrill from the Company under this Agreement. This limitation of Burrill’s liability to the Company shall not be affected in any way by any determination that the indemnification provision in the paragraph entitled “Indemnification and Contribution” is not fully enforceable or otherwise not fully available.

 

9. Miscellaneous . This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflicts of law principles, and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

 

Subject to any exception that may be specifically set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement and all opinions and advice and other documents provided by Burrill are confidential and proprietary and are not to be quoted, reproduced, summarized or otherwise disclosed, nor will any reference to Burrill be made, without Burrill’s prior written consent (except for such disclosure as Company counsel advises is required by law).

 

Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in San Francisco, California, before three arbitrators. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS (or any successor organization) pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (or any successor rules and procedures that may be adopted from time to time by JAMS or such successor). Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitrator may, in the arbitration award, allocate all or part of the costs of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrator and the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party.

 

This Agreement and any exhibits or attachments constitute the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof. No portion of this Agreement may be waived or amended, except in writing by a document signed by authorized representatives of both parties. Burrill may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder to any affiliate controlled by Burrill without the Company’s consent. If an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction deems any portion of this Agreement, or its application, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Agreement will be interpreted so as best to reasonably effect the intent of the parties. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same agreement.

ANNEX 1

 

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

 

This Annex I is an integral part of, and is incorporated by reference into, the engagement letter of which this Annex 1 is a part (the “ Engagement Letter ”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given them in the Engagement Letter.

 

The Company agrees to (a) indemnify Burrill and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents and controlling persons (Burrill and each such person being an " Indemnified Party ") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable law, or otherwise (collectively, “ Losses ”): (i) related to, arising out of or in connection with (A) the contents of oral or written information (or any omission therein of a material fact) provided by the Company, its employees or its other agents, which information either the Company or Burrill provides to any third party to an actual or proposed Financing, or (B) any other action or failure to act by the Company, its employees or its other agents or by Burrill or any Indemnified Party in accordance with and at the Company’s request or with the Company’s consent; or (ii) otherwise related to or arising out of the Engagement or any actual or proposed Financing, except that this clause (ii) will not apply with respect to any Loss that is finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, and (b) reimburse each Indemnified Party for all expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of the Company.

 

The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or its security holders, affiliates or creditors related to, arising out of, or in connection with, any Financing or the engagement of Burrill pursuant to, or the performance by Burrill of the services contemplated by, the Engagement Letter, except for any Loss that is finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

 

If the indemnification of an Indemnified Party provided for in this Annex 1 is for any reason held unenforceable, although otherwise applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company agrees to contribute to the Losses for which such indemnification is held unenforceable (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and Burrill, on the other hand, of the transaction(s) contemplated by the Engagement Letter (whether or not such transaction(s) are consummated) or (b) if (but only if) the allocation provided for in clause (a) is for any reason held unenforceable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and Burrill, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company agrees that, for the purposes of this paragraph, the relative benefits to the Company and Burrill of the contemplated transaction(s) (whether or not such transaction(s) are consummated) shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total value paid, issued or received, or contemplated to be paid, issued or received by the Company and its stockholders, as a result of or in connection with the transaction(s), bears to the fees paid or to be paid to Burrill under the Engagement Letter; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Indemnified Parties be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the aggregate fees actually paid to Burrill under the Engagement Letter.

 

The Company agrees that it will not, without prior written consent of Burrill, settle any pending or threatened claim or proceeding related to or arising out of the Engagement or any actual or proposed Transaction (whether or not Burrill or any Indemnified Party is a party to such claim or proceeding) unless such settlement includes a provision unconditionally releasing Burrill and each other Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of claims by any releasing party related to or arising out of the Engagement or any actual or proposed Financing.

 

Annex- 1
 

 

 

 

If Burrill or any other Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action relating to the Engagement or any actual or proposed Financing in which such person is not named as a party, the Company will reimburse Burrill for all expenses incurred in connection with such person’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of its legal counsel.

 

The foregoing provisions are in addition to any rights the Company or any Indemnified Party may have at common law or otherwise and will be binding on and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, and personal representatives of Company and each Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Annex 1 shall continue to apply and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any modification or termination of the Engagement or Engagement Letter or the completion of Burrill's services thereunder.

Warrant Shares: ___ ____                              Issue Date: _______, 2013

 

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 September ___, 2013 (the “ Initial Exercise Date ”) and on or prior to the close of business on the third anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “ Termination Date ”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from EntreMed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), up to _____ shares (subject to adjustments as provided below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) of Common Stock.

 

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 March 1, 2013, 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 (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 the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of a notice of exercise substantially in the form annexed hereto (a “ Notice of Exercise ”); and, within three (3) 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. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. 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 three (3) 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 each maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. 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.

 

1
 

 

b) Exercise Price . The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $2.91, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price ”).

 

c) Cashless Exercise . If at any time after the earlier of (i) the one year anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the completion of the then-applicable holding period required by Rule 144, or any successor provision then in effect, there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may [also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

 

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

VWAP ” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

d) Mechanics of Exercise .

 

i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise . Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent 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 then a participant in such system and there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). 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, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(v) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.

 

ii. 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.

 

iii. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, 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 (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. 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 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

iv. 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 the 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.

 

v. Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental 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 an assignment form substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder (an “Assignment Form”) and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

 

vi. 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.

 

(e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations . The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) beneficially owned greater than 9.99% of the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock on the date of the Purchase Agreement (as beneficial ownership is calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), any limitation on the exercise of this Warrant imposed by this Section 2(e) shall be not applicable to the Holder (or any successors or assigns of this Warrant) and the Company shall effect any exercise of this Warrant and the Holder shall have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d), regardless of the amount of Common Stock that the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) beneficially owns at any time during the term of this Warrant.

Section 3 . Certain Adjustments .

 

a) Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes 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 this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, 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, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. 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, combination or re-classification.

 

b) 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.

c) Notice to Holder .

 

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the 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, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (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 cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, concurrently with any notice provided to holders of the Company’s Common Stock or filed with the Commission, 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. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

Section 4 . Transfer of Warrant .

 

6
 

 

a) Transferability . This Warrant and all rights hereunder 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 (i) 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 and (ii) any other documents or certificates reasonably requested by the Company to effect 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, as applicable, 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.

d) Authorized Shares; Noncircumvention .

 

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 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. 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 and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

Except and to the extent as 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 (i) 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, (ii) 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 (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

g) 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.

 

h) Remedies . The 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.

i) 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 and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

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

 

k) 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.

FORM OF COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

entremed, inc.

 

Warrant Shares: 61,250 Issue Date: March ___, 2013

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received, BURRILL SECURITIES LLC (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 September ___, 2013 (the “ Initial Exercise Date ”) and on or prior to October 9, 2017 (the “ Termination Date ”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from EntreMed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), up to 61,250 shares (subject to adjustments as provided below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) of Common Stock. This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the date hereof pursuant to Section 3(a) of the Engagement Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2012, between the Company and Burrill LLC.

 

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 March 1, 2013, 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 (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 the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of a notice of exercise substantially in the form annexed hereto (a “ Notice of Exercise ”); and, within three (3) 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 unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. 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 three (3) 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 each maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. 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.

 

1
 

 

b) Exercise Price . The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $3.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price ”).

 

c) Cashless Exercise . At any time after the Initial Exercise Date, this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

 

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

VWAP ” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

d) Mechanics of Exercise .

 

2
 

 

i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise . Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent 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 then a participant in such system and there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to 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, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(iv) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.

 

ii. 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.

 

iii. 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 the 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.

 

iv. Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental 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 an assignment form substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder (an “Assignment Form”) and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

 

3
 

 

v. 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.

 

(e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations . The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) beneficially owned greater than 9.99% of the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock on the date of the Purchase Agreement (as beneficial ownership is calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), any limitation on the exercise of this Warrant imposed by this Section 2(e) shall be not applicable to the Holder (or any successors or assigns of this Warrant) and the Company shall effect any exercise of this Warrant and the Holder shall have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d), regardless of the amount of Common Stock that the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) beneficially owns at any time during the term of this Warrant.

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, combination or re-classification.

b) 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.

Forward Looking Statements

 

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act with respect to the outlook or expectations for future financial or business performance, strategies, expectations and goals. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and no duty to update forward-looking statements is assumed.

 

Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, including: the risk that we may be unable to continue as a going concern as a result of our inability to raise sufficient capital for our operational needs; the possibility that we may be delisted from trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market; the volatility of our common stock; the difficulty of executing our business strategy in China; our inability to enter into strategic partnerships for the development, commercialization, manufacturing and distribution of our proposed product candidate; risks relating to the need for additional capital and the uncertainty of securing additional funding on favorable terms; declines in actual sales of Thalomid® resulting in reduced royalty payments; risks associated with our product candidates; any early-stage products under development; results in preclinical models are not necessarily indicative of clinical results; uncertainties relating to preclinical and clinical trials, including delays to the commencement of such trials; the lack of success in the clinical development of any of our products; dependence on third parties; and risks relating to the commercialization, if any, of our proposed products (such as marketing, safety, regulatory, patent, product liability, supply, competition and other risks). Such factors, among others, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations and financial condition. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which only speak as of the date made. Additional information about the factors and risks that could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, are contained in our filings with the SEC, which are available at www.sec.gov.
