Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement
.
On December 31, 2018, we entered into a securities purchase
agreement with Manchester Securities Corp., an existing
institutional investor and an affiliate of Elliott Associates,
L.P., for the purchase and sale of a senior secured convertible
note in the aggregate principal amount of $7,500,000 and a warrant
to purchase up to an aggregate of 450,000 shares of our common
stock, for gross proceeds of $7,500,000. The warrant is immediately
exercisable, has an exercise price of $1.50 per share, subject to
adjustment in the event of stock dividends and distributions, stock
splits, stock combinations, or reclassifications affecting our
common stock, and has a term of five years. A description of
the note is set forth in Item 2.03 hereof.
The closing of the note and warrant sale and purchase occurred
simultaneously with entry into the securities purchase agreement.
No placement agent or underwriter was involved in the
offering.
We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering for general
corporate purposes primarily related to our Neutrolin®
development program, including clinical trials, research and
development expenses and general and administrative
expenses.
On the same date, and in connection with the sale of the note and
warrant,
we
amended and restated the following warrants held by Elliott
Associates, L.P. and its affiliates to reduce the exercise price of
each warrant to $0.001 per share: warrants issued in May 2013 to
purchase up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock
with a pre-amendment exercise price of $0.65 per share and an
expiration date of May 30, 2019; and warrants issued in October
2013 to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of our common
stock with a pre-amendment exercise price of $0.90 per share and an
expiration date of October 22, 2019. The amendment of these
warrants was previously reported on December 21, 2018; the
amendment and restatement of these warrants simply memorializes the
amendment to the respective exercise prices.
The warrant, the third amended and restated May 2013 warrant, the
form of the second amended and restated October 2013 warrant and
the securities purchase agreement, are filed herewith as Exhibits
4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 10.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein
by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the warrants and the
securities purchase agreement are not complete and are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the respective
exhibits.
On January 3, 2019, we issued a press release to report the closing
of the secured loan transaction, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit 99.1.
The note and warrant were issued and sold in a transaction exempt
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in
reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof. The note and warrant may not
be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or
exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws.
The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is not
an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the note or
the warrant or any other securities of our company.
Also in conjunction with the closing of the sale and issuance, we
and Elliott Associates, L.P. and certain of its affiliates that
hold shares of various series of our preferred stock and warrants
to purchase shares of our common stock agreed to waive any rights
of conversion or exercise for all of the shares of our Series C-2,
D, E and F preferred stock , as well as warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 4,014,859 shares of our common stock (collectively
with the shares of Series C-2, D, E, and F preferred stock, the
"Elliott Derivative Securities"), until the earliest
to
occur of (i) the effective date on which our Certificate of
Incorporation is amended to increase the number of authorized
shares of common stock, (ii) the effective date on which we effect
a reverse stock split of our common stock, (iii) one business day
immediately prior to the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction
(as defined in the instruments governing the applicable Elliott
Derivative Securities), and (iv) April 30, 2019.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an
Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a
Registrant.
As noted in Item 1.01, on December 31, 2018, we entered into a
securities purchase agreement pursuant to which we issued a senior
secured convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of
$7,500,000. The note is a senior, secured obligation, guaranteed by
all of our assets. The note bears interest at the rate of 10.0% per
annum, compounded quarterly. Interest is first payable on January
2, 2019, and on the first trading day of each month thereafter. The
note matures on December 30, 2021.
Any accrued but unpaid interest for the applicable interest period
will be added to the principal outstanding under the notes. The
noteholder may convert
its
outstanding note principal amount, and any accrued and unpaid
interest
, at any time into
shares of common stock at the conversion rate. Additionally, the
note will automatically convert at the conversion rate into shares
of common stock, if, prior to the maturity date, the average
closing sale price of our common stock for any 20 trading days
during any consecutive 30 trading days equals or exceeds 150% of
the conversion price. We have the right to pay any accrued interest
in cash for any calendar month during which the average closing
sale price of our common stock averaged at least 150% of the
conversion price of the notes. In the event we default on our
obligations under the notes, all amounts under the notes will
automatically become immediately due and owing.
On or after July 1, 2020, we may prepay any principal amount
outstanding on the notes in amounts of $2,000,000 (or in full, if
less than $2,000,000), provided that if the prepayment occurs
between July 2, 2020 and March 30, 2021, the prepayment amount will
equal 110% of the principal amount being repaid and if the
prepayment occurs after March 31, 2021, the prepayment amount will
equal 105% of the principal amount being repaid.
The conversion price of $1.50 per share is subject to appropriate
adjustment in the event of stock dividends and distributions, stock
splits, stock combinations, or reclassifications affecting our
common stock. We will reserve, as soon as practicable, but in no
event later than April 30, 2019, shares of common stock equal to
125% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon
the conversion of the notes and upon exercise of the
warrants.
The
note is attached hereto as
Exhibit 4.4 and is incorporated herein by reference. The
foregoing description of the note is not complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 4.4.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Warrant To Purchase Common Stock
Warrant
No.:
This
Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to
Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement
hereof, the “
Warrant
”) of
CorMedix Inc.
(the “
Company
”) is issued this 31st day
of December, 2018 (the “
Issuance Date
”) to Manchester
Securities Corp. (the “
Holder
”) pursuant to that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated the Issuance Date (the
“
Purchase
Agreement
”). The Company hereby certifies that, for
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Holder or its permitted assigns
is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from
the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in
effect, upon exercise of this Warrant, at any time or times on or
after the Issue Date (the “
Initial Exercisability Date
”), but
not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as
defined below), four hundred fifty thousand (450,000) shares of
Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided herein) fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined
below)
(the
“
Warrant
Shares
”).
Except
as otherwise defined herein or in the Purchase Agreement,
capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth
in Section 14.
(a)
Mechanics of Exercise
. Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation,
the limitations set forth in Section 1(e)), this Warrant may
be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Initial
Exercisability Date, in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via
facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached
hereto as
Exhibit A
(the “
Exercise
Notice
”), of the Holder’s election to exercise
this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day following an exercise of
this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the
Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the
date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as
to which this Warrant was so exercised (the “
Aggregate Exercise Price
”) in cash
or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder
did not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such
exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in
Section 1(c)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the
original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.
Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less
than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as
cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new
Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of
Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for
all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect
as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of
the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or
before the first (1
st
) Trading Day
following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise
Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment
of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form
attached hereto as
Exhibit B
,
to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the
“
Transfer
Agent
”). On or before the second (2
nd
) Trading Day
following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise
Notice, the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is
participating in The Depository Trust Company (“
DTC
”) Fast Automated Securities
Transfer Program and provided the shares of Common Stock which the
Holder is entitled to are registered on an effective registration
statement or may be sold without any restriction under Rule 144,
upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to
such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance
account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian
system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the
DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver
to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the
Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each
case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as
specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate,
registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the
Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise
Notice), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise, which may contain a
restrictive legend if required to comply with applicable securities
laws. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be
deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of
record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has
been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are
credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery
of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may
be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise
pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares
represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than
the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then,
at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as
practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days
after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the
Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with
Section 6(d) representing the right to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under
this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to
which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common
Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but
rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be
rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any
and all taxes and fees which may be payable with respect to the
issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this
Warrant.
(b)
Exercise Price
. For purposes of
this Warrant, “
Exercise
Price
” means $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment as
provided herein.
(c)
Cashless Exercise
. The Holder
may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in
part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated
to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the
Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such
exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock
determined according to the following formula (a
“
Cashless
Exercise
”):
Net
Number =
(A x B) - (A x
C)
B
For
purposes of the foregoing formula:
A
=
the total number of
shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised.
B
=
as applicable: (i)
the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if
such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to
Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both
executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading
Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as
defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the
federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the Closing Bid
Price of the Common Stock as of the time of the Holder’s
execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice
is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading
Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter pursuant to
Section 1(a) hereof or (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common
Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of
such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is
both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after
the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading
Day.
C
=
the Exercise Price
then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of
such exercise.
(d)
Disputes
. In the case of a
dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the
arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued
pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall promptly issue to
the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and
resolve such dispute in good faith.
(e)
Limitations on
Exercises
.
(i)
Reserved
.
(ii)
Principal
Market Regulation
. The Company shall not issue any shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant if the issuance of
such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise or
conversion (as the case may be) of this Warrant without breaching
the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of
the Principal Market (the number of shares which may be issued
without violating such rules and regulations, the
“
Exchange Cap
”),
except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the
Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by
the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of
shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a
written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such
approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder or (C) obtain a waiver from the
Principal Market of the applicable rules of such Principal Market
for the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of such
amount. Until such approval or such written opinion is obtained,
the Holder shall not be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or
exercise (as the case may be) of any of this Warrant, shares of
Common Stock in an amount greater than the Exchange Cap. In the
event that the Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer this
Warrant, the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such
transferee.
2.
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE OF
WARRANT SHARES
.
The Exercise Price of this Warrant, but
not the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder, is subject to
adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section 2.
(a)
Stock Dividends and Splits
. If
the Company, at any time on or after the date of the Purchase
Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its
then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a
distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its
then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such
case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and
any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph
shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such
subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment
under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise
Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such
Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such
event.
(b)
Number of Warrant Shares
.
Regardless of any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this Section 2, the number of Warrant Shares
that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall not be
increased or decreased.
(c)
Calculations
. All calculations
under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest
cent or the nearest 1/100
th
of a share, as
applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any
given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the
account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares
shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
3.
NONCIRCUMVENTION
.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not,
by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid
the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of
this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the
rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of
any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall
take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as this Warrant is outstanding,
take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
necessary to effect the exercise of this Warrant to the extent
outstanding (without regard to any limitations on
exercise).
4.
FUNDAMENTAL
TRANSACTIONS
.
(a)
Fundamental Transactions
. (1)
The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental
Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity (if different than the
Company) assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company
under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 4(a) including agreements to deliver to the Holder in
exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity
evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and
substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is
exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock
equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable
upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on
the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise
price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into
account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant
to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of
capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital
stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting
the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction) and (ii) the
Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded
corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading
on an Eligible Market. Upon the consummation of each Fundamental
Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be
substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise
every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the
obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor
Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of
each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity (if different
from the Company) shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that
there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time
after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction,
in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash,
assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such
shares of common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity
(including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been
entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately
prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to
any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and
not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the
consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which
holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive
securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for
shares of Common Stock (a “
Corporate Event
”), the Company
shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will
thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this
Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu
of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash,
assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock,
securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever
(including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which
the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental
Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of
this Warrant). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder.
(2)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(a)(1), (A) the Company
shall have the right to require that Holder waive the requirements
of Section 4(a)(1) (the “
Waiver
”) in a Fundamental
Transaction in which the definitive documentation relating to such
Fundamental Transaction provides that to the extent this Warrant is
“in the money” (by reference to the purchase price per
share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction (such price
the, “
Fundamental Transaction
Per Share Price
”)), the Buyer shall receive proceeds
equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock
into which this Warrant is exercisable and (b) the difference
between the Fundamental Transaction Per Share Price and the
Exercise Price (the “
Fundamental Transaction Amount
”)
and (B) the Holder shall have the right to receive the Fundamental
Transaction Amount or, if the consideration paid to holders of
Common Stock in respect of such Fundamental Transaction includes
non-cash consideration, such securities or other assets (including
cash) received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in
connection with the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction in
such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had
this Note been converted into Common Stock as of immediately prior
to the earlier of the record date for determining entitlement to
such consideration or as of immediately prior to the consummation
of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the assumption
contemplated by Section 4(a)(1). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 4(a), until such time that the Holder
receives the Fundamental Transaction Amount (at which point this
Warrant shall be cancelled), this Warrant may be exercised, in
whole or in part, by the Holder (x) prior to consummation of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction, into Common Stock pursuant to
Section 1, or (y) upon (which may be expressly conditioned upon the
consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction) or after

consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. The Holder and

consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue
of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger,
conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive
dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the
issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which it is then
entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In
addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as

(upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of
the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company
or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this

Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such
Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such
surrender; provided, however, no warrants for fractional shares of

Holder shall be entitled, at its option, to the benefit of any
amendment of (i) any other similar warrant issued under the
Purchase Agreement or (ii) any other similar warrant. No waiver

9.
SEVERABILITY
.
If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise
determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited,
invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the
broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the
invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as
this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material
change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject
matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not
substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal
obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the
benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The
parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid
provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable
provision(s).
10.
GOVERNING
LAW
. This Warrant
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with,
and all questions concerning the construction, validity,
interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed
by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule
(whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that
would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other
than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or
with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing
suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other
jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the
Holder or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of
the Holder.
THE COMPANY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO
REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER
OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY
TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
11.
CONSTRUCTION;
HEADINGS
. This Warrant
shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder
and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter
hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of
reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation
of, this Warrant. Terms used in this Warrant but defined in the
other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to
such terms on the Closing Date in such other Transaction Documents
unless otherwise consented to in writing by the
Holder.
12.
REMEDIES,
CHARACTERIZATION, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF
. The remedies
provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all
other remedies available under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of
specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing
herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages
for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this
Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no
characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly
provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with
respect to payments, exercises and the like (and the computation
thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and
shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any
other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the
remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company
therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or
threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic
loss and without any bond or other security being required. The
Company shall provide all information and documentation to the
Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to
confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and
conditions of this Warrant (including, without limitation,
compliance with Section 2 hereof). The issuance of shares and
certificates for shares as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such
shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof,
provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the
Holder or its agent on its behalf.

SECOND A
mended and
Restated
Warrant To Purchase Common Stock
This
Second Amended and Restated Warrant to Purchase Common Stock
(including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in
exchange, transfer or replacement hereof,
the “
Warrant
”) of
CorMedix Inc.
(the “
Company
”) is issued this 31st day
of December, 2018, and amends and restates the Warrant to Purchase
Common Stock issued by the Company on October 22, 2013 (the
“
Issuance Date
”)
_________________ (the “
Holder
”) pursuant to that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 17, 2013 (the
“
Securities Purchase
Agreement
”), which Warrant to Purchase Common Stock
was subsequently amended and restated on September 15, 2014. The
Company hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Holder or its permitted assigns is entitled, subject to the terms
set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise
Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this
Warrant, at any time or times on or after October 22, 2014 (the
“
Initial Exercisability
Date
”), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on
the Expiration Date (as defined below), ______ (subject to
adjustment as provided herein) fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock (as defined below)
(the “
Warrant Shares
”).
Except
as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant
shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16.
This
Warrant is one of the Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the
“
SPA Warrants
”)
issued pursuant to Section 1 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
(a)
Mechanics of Exercise
. Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation,
the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may
be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Initial
Exercisability Date, in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via
facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached
hereto as
Exhibit A
(the “
Exercise
Notice
”), of the Holder’s election to exercise
this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day following an exercise of
this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the
Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the
date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as
to which this Warrant was so exercised (the “
Aggregate Exercise Price
”) in cash
or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder
did not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such
exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in
Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the
original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.
Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less
than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as
cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new
Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of
Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for
all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect
as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of
the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or
before the first (1
st
) Trading Day
following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise
Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment
of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form
attached hereto as
Exhibit B
,
to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the
“
Transfer
Agent
”). On or before the third (3
rd
) Trading Day
following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise
Notice, the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is
participating in The Depository Trust Company (“
DTC
”) Fast Automated Securities
Transfer Program and provided the shares of Common Stock which the
Holder is entitled to are registered on an effective registration
statement or may be sold without any restriction under Rule 144,
upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to
such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance
account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian
system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the
DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver
to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the
Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each
case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as
specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate,
registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the
Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise
Notice), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise, which may contain a
restrictive legend if required to comply with applicable securities
laws. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be
deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of
record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has
been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are
credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery
of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may
be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise
pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares
represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than
the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then,
at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as
practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days
after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the
Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with
Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under
this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to
which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common
Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but
rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be
rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any
and all taxes and fees which may be payable with respect to the
issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this
Warrant.
(b)
Exercise Price
. For purposes of
this Warrant, “
Exercise
Price
” means $0.001, subject to adjustment as provided
herein.
(c)
Company’s Failure to Timely
Deliver Securities
. If the Company shall fail, for any
reason or for no reason, to issue to the Holder within the later of
(i) three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Exercise
Notice and (ii) two (2) Trading Days after the Company’s
receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price (or valid notice of a
Cashless Exercise) (such later date, the “
Share Delivery Deadline
”), a
certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the
Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s
balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock
to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of
this Warrant (as the case may be) (a “
Delivery Failure
”), and if on or
after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of
the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of
shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such exercise that the Holder
so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all
other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within
three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the
Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an
amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without
limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the
Holder) (the “
Buy-In
Price
”), at which point the Company’s obligation
to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the
Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the
Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to
issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii)
promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder
a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common
Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled
upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and
pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of
the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of
Common Stock multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the
Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the
date of the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the date
immediately preceding the date of such issuance and payment under
this clause (ii).
(d)
Cashless Exercise
.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other
than Section 1(f) below), if at the time of exercise hereof a
registration statement is not effective (or the prospectus
contained therein is not available for use) for the issuance by the
Company to the Holder of all of the Warrant Shares, then the Holder
may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in
part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated
to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the
Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such
exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock
determined according to the following formula (a
“
Cashless
Exercise
”):
Net
Number =
(A x B) - (A x
C)
B
For
purposes of the foregoing formula:

(f)
Limitations on
Exercises
.
(i)
Beneficial Ownership
.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant,
this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder hereof to the
extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such
exercise the Holder (together with any of its affiliates) would
beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “
Maximum Percentage
”) of the
Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the
determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable
(vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable
securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of
which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or
exchangeable (as the case may be, as among all such securities
owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage
limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to
the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may
be). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this
paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the
provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent
determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this
paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and
calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to
calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in
the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be
implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any
portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein
contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable
to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The
limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor
Holder of this Warrant. The holders of Common Stock shall be third
party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not amend
or waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a
majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the
written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one
(1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by
virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or
exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without
limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement. By written notice to the
Company, any Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage
to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided that (i)
any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after
such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase
or decrease will apply only to the Holder sending such notice and
not to any other holder of SPA Warrants.
(ii)

(g)
Insufficient Authorized Shares
.
The Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under
this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary
to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common
Stock hereunder (without regard to any limitation otherwise
contained herein with respect to the number of shares of Common
Stock that may be acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant). If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at
any time while any of the SPA Warrants remain outstanding the
Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and
unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to
reserve for issuance upon exercise of the SPA Warrants at least a
number of shares of Common Stock (the “
Required Reserve Amount
”) equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
necessary to effect the exercise of all of the SPA Warrants then
outstanding (an “
Authorized
Share Failure
”), then the Company shall immediately
take all action necessary to increase the Company’s
authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow
the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA
Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the
occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later
than seventy-five (75) days after the occurrence of such Authorized
Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders
for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares
of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall
provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its
best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such
increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its
board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they
approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited
from issuing shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this
Warrant due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares
of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares
of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock,
the “
Authorization Failure
Shares
”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization
Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in
exchange for the cancellation of such portion of this Warrant
exercisable into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to
the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization
Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the
Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the
date the Holder delivers the applicable Exercise Notice with
respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and
ending on the date immediately preceding the date of such issuance
and payment under this Section 1(g) minus, in the event of a
“cash” exercise of such Warrants, the applicable
Aggregate Exercise Price for such Authorization Failure Shares and
(ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorization Failure
Shares, any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses,
if any, of the Holder incurred in connection
therewith.
2.
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE OF
WARRANT SHARES
.
The Exercise Price of this Warrant, but
not the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder, is subject to
adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section 2.
(a)
Stock Dividends and Splits
.
Without limiting any provision of Section 4, if the Company,
at any time on or after the date of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its
then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a
distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its
then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such
case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and
any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph
shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such
subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment
under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise
Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such
Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such
event.
(b)
OMITTED
.
(c)
Number of Warrant Shares
.
Regardless of any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this Section 2, the number of Warrant Shares
that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall not be
increased or decreased.
(d)
OMITTED
.
(e)
OMITTED
.
(f)
Calculations
. All calculations
under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest
cent or the nearest 1/100
th
of a share, as
applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any
given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the
account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares
shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g)
OMITTED
.
3.
RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF
ASSETS
. In addition to
any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company
shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its
assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of
Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other
securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off,
reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or
other similar transaction) (a “
Distribution
”), at any time after
the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder
shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same
extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the
Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the
Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record
is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are
to be determined for the participation in such Distribution
(provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to
participate in any such Distributions would result in the Holder
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be
entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or the
beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result
of such Distribution to such extent) and such Distribution to such
extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder
until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in
the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).
4.
PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL
TRANSACTIONS
.
(a)
Purchase Rights
. In addition to
any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time
the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible
Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or
other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record
holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the
“
Purchase
Rights
”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire,
upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate
Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder
had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon
complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the
Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record
is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights,
or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record
holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the
grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to
the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such
Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum
Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in
such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such
shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such
extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in
abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right
thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum
Percentage).
(b)
Fundamental Transactions
. (1)
The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental
Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity (if different than the
Company) assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company
under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined
in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 4(b)(1) including agreements to
deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of
the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant,
including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a
corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the
shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of
this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of
this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an
exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such
shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value
of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental
Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such
adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such
exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic
value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such
Fundamental Transaction) and (ii) the Successor Entity
(including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation
whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an
Eligible Market. Upon the consummation of each Fundamental
Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be
substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise
every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the
obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor
Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of
each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity (if different
from the Company) shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that
there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time
after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction,
in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash,
assets or other property (except such items still issuable under
Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be
receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of
common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including
its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to
receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to
the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and
not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the
consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which
holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive
securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for
shares of Common Stock (a “
Corporate Event
”), the Company
shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will
thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this
Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu
of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash,
assets or other property (except such items still issuable under
Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be
receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock,
securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever
(including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which
the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental
Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of
this Warrant). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder.
(2)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b)(1), the Company
shall have the right to require that Holder waive the requirements
of Section 4(b)(1) (the "
Waiver
") in an all cash Fundamental
Transaction in exchange for a payment of cash in an amount equal to
the Black Scholes Value, with the Waiver becoming effective, and
this Warrant cancelled, concurrently with such payment of such cash
amount (the "
Fundamental
Transaction Amount
") to the Holder on the Fundamental
Transaction Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 4(b), but subject to Section 1(f), until such time
that the Holder receives the Fundamental Transaction Amount (at
which point this Warrant shall be cancelled), this Warrant may be
exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder (x) prior to
consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, into Common
Stock pursuant to Section 1, or (y) upon (which may be expressly
conditioned upon the consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction) or after the consummation of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction, into any such shares of stock, securities,
cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants
or other purchase or subscription rights, if applicable) which the
Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of
such Fundamental Transaction had the Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction.
(c)
OMITTED
.
(d)
Application
. The provisions of
this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive
Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied
as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants) were fully
exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise
of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be
entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage, applied however
with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the 1934
Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any
such other warrant)).
5.
NONCIRCUMVENTION
.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not,
by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith
carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as
may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
(i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common
Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the
Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii)
shall, so long as any of the SPA Warrants are outstanding, take all
action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of effecting the exercise of the SPA Warrants, the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
necessary to effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then
outstanding (without regard to any limitations on
exercise).
6.
WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A
STOCKHOLDER
. Except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in its
capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote
or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of
the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this
Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its
capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold
consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue
of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger,
conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive
dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the
issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which it is then
entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In
addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as
imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities
(upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of
the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company
or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this
Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of
the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of
the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to
the stockholders.
7.

. If this
Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this
Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue

hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a
new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d))
representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new
Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such
Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such
surrender; provided, however, no warrants for fractional shares of
Common Stock shall be given.
(d)

the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like

10.
SEVERABILITY
.

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

interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed
by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule
(whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that
would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other
than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the

with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject

herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein

Holder or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of
the Holder.
THE COMPANY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO

CONSTRUCTION;
HEADINGS
. This Warrant
shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder
and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter
hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of
reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation
of, this Warrant. Terms used in this Warrant but defined in the
other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to
such terms on the Closing Date in such other Transaction Documents
unless otherwise consented to in writing by the
Holder.
(a)
In the case of a
dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price, the Closing
Bid Price, the Closing Sale Price, the VWAP or fair market value or
the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares (as the
case may be), the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) shall
submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations (as
the case may be) via facsimile (i) within two (2) Business Days
after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute
to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) or (ii) if no
notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder
learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the
Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination
or calculation (as the case may be) of the Exercise Price, the
Closing Sale Price or fair market value or the number of Warrant
Shares (as the case may be) within three (3) Business Days of such
disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to
the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Company
shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the
disputed determination of the Exercise Price, the Closing Bid
Price, the Closing Sale Price or fair market value (as the case may
be) to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the
Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the number of
Warrant Shares to an independent accountant selected by the Holder.
The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the
accountant (as the case may be) to perform the determinations or
calculations (as the case may be) and notify the Company and the
Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the
time it receives such disputed determinations or calculations (as
the case may be). Such investment bank’s or
accountant’s determination or calculation (as the case may
be) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable
error.
(b)
The Company
expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Section 13
constitutes an agreement to arbitrate between the Company and the
Holder (and constitutes an arbitration agreement) under the New
York Arbitration Act, as amended, (ii) a dispute relating to the
Exercise Price includes, without limitation, disputes as to (1) the
consideration per share at which an issuance or deemed issuance of
Common Stock occurred, and (2) whether an agreement, instrument,
security or the like constitutes and Option or Convertible
Security, (iii) the terms of this Warrant and each other applicable
Transaction Document shall serve as the basis for the selected

This
Third Amended and Restated Warrant to Purchase Common Stock
(including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in
exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the
“
Warrant
”
) of
CorMedix Inc.
(the
“
Company
”
) is issued
this 31st day of December 2018, and amends and
restates the Warrant to Purchase Common Stock issued by the Company
on May 30, 2013 (the
“
Issuance
Date
”
) to
Manchester Securities Corp. (the
“
Holder
”
), pursuant to that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 23, 2013 (the
“
Securities Purchase
Agreement
”
), which
Warrant to Purchase Common Stock was subsequently amended and
restated on September 15, 2014 and March 3, 2015. The Company
hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Holder or its permitted assigns is entitled, subject to the terms
set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise
Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this
Warrant, at any time or times on or after May 30, 2014 (the
“
Initial Exercisability
Date
”
), but not
after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined
below), 500,000
(subject to
adjustment as provided herein) fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock (as defined below)
(the
“
Warrant
Shares
”
).
Except
as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant
shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16.
This
Warrant is one of the Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the

”
) issued pursuant to Section 1 of
the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(a)
Mechanics
of Exercise
. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof
(including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in
Section 1(f), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any
day on or after the Initial Exercisability Date, in whole or in
part, by delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) of a written
notice, in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit
A
(the
“
Exercise
Notice
”
), of the
Holder
’
s election to
exercise this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day following an
exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver
payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in
effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (the
“
Aggregate Exercise
Price
”
) in cash or
via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did
not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise
was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section
1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of
this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution
and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of
the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of
the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant
evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant
Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the
then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as
cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the
Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before
the first (1
st
) Trading Day following
the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the
Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of
confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form
attached hereto as
Exhibit
B
, to the Holder and the Company
’
s transfer agent (the
“
Transfer

”
). On or
before the third (3
rd
) Trading Day following
the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice,
the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is
participating in The Depository Trust Company (
“
DTC
”
) Fast Automated Securities Transfer
Program and provided the shares of Common Stock which the Holder is
entitled to are registered on an effective registration statement
or may be sold without any restriction under Rule 144, upon the
request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such
exercise to the Holder
’
s
or its designee
’
s balance
account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian
system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the
DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver
to the Holder or, at the Holder
’
s instruction pursuant to the
Exercise Notice, the Holder
’
s agent or designee, in each case,
sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in
the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the
Company
’
s share register
in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the
applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of shares of Common
Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise,
which may contain a restrictive legend if required to comply with
applicable securities laws. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice,
the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have
become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to
which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date
such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder
’
s DTC account or the date of
delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the
case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any
exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant
Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is
greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an
exercise, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as
soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business
Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver
to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with
Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under
this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to
which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common
Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but
rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be
rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any
and all taxes and fees which may be payable with respect to the
issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this
Warrant.
(b)

Price
. For purposes of this Warrant,
“
Exercise
Price
”

applicable Exercise Notice and (ii) two (2) Trading Days after the
Company
’
s receipt of the
Aggregate Exercise Price (or valid notice of a Cashless Exercise)
(such later date, the
“
Share Delivery
Deadline
”
), a
certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the
Company
’
s share register
or to credit the Holder
’
s
balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock
to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder
’
s exercise of this Warrant (as the
case may be) (a
“
Delivery
Failure
”
), and if
on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder purchases (in
an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to
deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any
portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the
number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such exercise that
the Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in
addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company
shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder
’
s request and in the
Holder
’
s discretion,
either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the
Holder
’
s total purchase
price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket
expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
(including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or
on behalf, of the Holder) (the
“
Buy-In Price
”
), at which point the
Company
’
s obligation to
so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the
Holder
’
s balance account
with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder is entitled upon the Holder
’
s exercise hereunder (as the case
may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate,
or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to
the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares
of Common Stock or credit the Holder
’
s balance account with DTC for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled
upon the Holder
’
s
exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder
in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over
the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied
by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any
Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the
applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the date immediately
preceding the date of such issuance and payment under this clause
(ii).
(d)

. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if at the time of
exercise hereof a registration statement is not effective (or the
prospectus contained therein is not available for use) for the
issuance by the Company to the Holder of all of the Warrant Shares,
then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant
in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment
otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise
in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to
receive upon such exercise the
“

(e)
Disputes
. In
the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price
or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be
issued pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall promptly
issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not

(f)
Limitations on
Exercises
.
(i)
Beneficial
Ownership
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by
the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that after
giving effect to such exercise the Holder (together with any of its
affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the
“
Maximum
Percentage
”
) of
the Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the
determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable
(vis-
à
-vis other
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the
Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall
be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as the case may be, as
among all such securities owned by the Holder) shall, subject to
such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of
the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or
exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise this
Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the
applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to
any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of
this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and
calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to
calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement) and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be
implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any
portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein
contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable
to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The
limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor
Holder of this Warrant. The holders of Common Stock shall be third
party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not amend
or waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a
majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the
written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one
(1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by
virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or
exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without
limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement. By written notice to the
Company, any Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage
to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided that (i)
any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after
such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase
or decrease will apply only to the Holder sending such notice and
not to any other holder of SPA Warrants.
(ii)

(g)
Insufficient
Authorized Shares
. The Company shall at all times keep
reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of
Common Stock at least equal to the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the
Company
’
s obligation to
issue shares of Common Stock hereunder (without regard to any
limitation otherwise contained herein with respect to the number of
shares of Common Stock that may be acquirable upon exercise of this
Warrant). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation
thereof, at any time while any of the SPA Warrants remain
outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of
authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its
obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the SPA
Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock (the
“
Required Reserve
Amount
”
) equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
necessary to effect the exercise of all of the SPA Warrants then
outstanding (an
“
Authorized Share
Failure
”
), then
the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase
the Company
’
s authorized
shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company
to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants
then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence
of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty
(60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure,
the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the
approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall
provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its
best efforts to solicit its stockholders
’
approval of such increase in
authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of
directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such
proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing
shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this Warrant due to the
failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock
available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
(such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the
“
Authorization Failure
Shares
”
), in lieu
of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the
Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such
portion of this Warrant exercisable into such Authorized Failure
Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such
number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing
Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period
commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Exercise
Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the
Company and ending on the date immediately preceding the date of
such issuance and payment under this Section 1(g) and (ii) to the
extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by the Holder of Authorization Failure Shares, any brokerage
commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder
incurred in connection therewith.
2.
ADJUSTMENT
OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES
. The Exercise
Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in
this Section 2.
(a)
Stock
Dividends and Splits
. Without limiting any provision of
Section 4, if the Company, at any time on or after the date of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or
more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or
otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that
is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more
classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse
stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and
any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph
shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such
subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment
under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise
Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such
Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such
event.
(b)
OMITTED
.
(c)
Number of
Warrant Shares
. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the
Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2, the
number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so
that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable
hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the
same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise
contained herein).
(d)
OMITTED
.
(e)
OMITTED
.
(f)
Calculations
.
All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to
the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100
th
of a share, as
applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any
given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the
account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares
shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g)
OMITTED
.
3.
RIGHTS UPON
DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS
. In addition to any adjustments
pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company shall declare or make
any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to
acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of
return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any
distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or
options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate
rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction)
(a
“
Distribution
”
), at any time after the issuance of
this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled
to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the
Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the
number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise
of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise
hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage)
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such
Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which
the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined
for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to
the extent that the Holder
’
s right to participate in any such
Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum
Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in
such Distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of
any such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to
such extent) and such Distribution to such extent shall be held in
abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as
its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the
Maximum Percentage).
4.
PURCHASE
RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS
.
(a)
Purchase
Rights
. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2
above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any
Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock,
warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or
substantially all of the record holders of any class of shares of
Common Stock (the
“
Purchase
Rights
”
), then the
Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to
such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the
Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this
Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof,
including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance
or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken,
the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock
are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase
Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the
Holder
’
s right to
participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be
entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or
beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of
such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such
extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if
ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding
the Maximum Percentage).
(b)
Fundamental
Transactions
. (1) The Company shall not enter into or be
party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity
(if different than the Company) assumes in writing all of the
obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section
4(b)(1) including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange
for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a
written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to
this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable
for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to
the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise
of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise
of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an
exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such
shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value
of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental
Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such
adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such
exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic
value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such
Fundamental Transaction) and (ii) the Successor Entity (including
its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common
stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market.
Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the
Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that
from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction,
the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents
referring to the
“
Company
”
shall refer instead to the
Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the
Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company
under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the
same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the
Company herein. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction,
the Successor Entity (if different from the Company) shall deliver
to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common
Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except
such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which
shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental
Transaction, such shares of common stock (or its equivalent) of the
Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder
would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction
(without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this
Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this
Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other
rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental
Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are
entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or
in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a
“
Corporate
Event
”
), the
Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder
will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this
Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu
of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash,
assets or other property (except such items still issuable under
Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable
thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to
such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities,
cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants
or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would
have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately
prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to
any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant). Provision made
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.
(2)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b)(1), the Company
shall have the right to require that Holder waive the requirements
of Section 4(b)(1) (the "
Waiver
") in an all cash
Fundamental Transaction in exchange for a payment of cash in an
amount equal to the Black Scholes Value, with the Waiver becoming
effective, and this Warrant cancelled, concurrently with such
payment of such cash amount (the "
Fundamental Transaction
Amount
") to the Holder on the Fundamental Transaction
Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 4(b), but subject to Section 1(f), until such time that the
Holder receives the Fundamental Transaction Amount (at which point
this Warrant shall be cancelled), this Warrant may be exercised, in
whole or in part, by the Holder (x) prior to consummation of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction, into Common Stock pursuant to
Section 1, or (y) upon (which may be expressly conditioned upon the
consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction) or after
the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, into
any such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other
property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or
subscription rights, if applicable) which the Holder would have
been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental
Transaction had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction.
(c)
OMITTED
.
(d)
Application
.
The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally
to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and
shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent
warrants) were fully exercisable and without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the
Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum
Percentage, applied however with respect to shares of capital stock
registered under the 1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon
exercise of this Warrant (or any such other warrant)).
5.
NONCIRCUMVENTION
.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not,
by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith
carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as
may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not
increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in
effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the
SPA Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve
and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of
Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of
the SPA Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as
shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the
SPA Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on
exercise).

. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in its capacity as
a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive
dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company
for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be
construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its capacity as the
Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any
corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock,
reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or
otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or
subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the
Holder of the Warrant Shares which it is then entitled to receive
upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing
contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any
liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise
of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company,
whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by
creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the
Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices
and other information given to the stockholders of the Company
generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the
stockholders.

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

Conversion Notice (whether via facsimile, e-mail or otherwise) (the
“
Share Delivery
Deadline
”), a certificate for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such
shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to
credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account
with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of any
Conversion Amount (as the case may be) (a “
Conversion Failure
”) and if on or
after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder (or any other Person
in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of
the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of
shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such conversion that the
Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition
to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall,
within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and
in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder
in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses,
if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including,
without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf,
of the Holder) (the “
Buy-In
Price
”), at which point the Company’s obligation
to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the
Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the
Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to
issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii)
promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder
a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common
Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled
upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be)
and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if
any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of
shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale
Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period
commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and
ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause
(ii).
(iii)
Registration;
Book-Entry
. The Company shall maintain a register (the
“
Register
”) for
the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each
Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders
(the “
Registered
Notes
”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The
Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all
purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive
payments of Principal and Interest hereunder) notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned,
transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of
such assignment or sale on the Register and in compliance with
applicable securities laws. Upon its receipt of a proper request to
assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the
holder thereof, the Company shall record the information contained
therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes
in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of
the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or
transferee pursuant to Section 15, provided that if the Company
does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may
be) of all or part of any Registered Note within two (2) Business
Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically
updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case
may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 3, following conversion of any portion of this Note in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required
to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the
full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted
(in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company
following conversion thereof as contemplated by Section 3(c)(i)) or
(B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice
(which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting
reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The
Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal
and Interest converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the
dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) or
shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder
and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this
Note upon conversion.
(iv)
Pro
Rata Conversion; Disputes
. In the event that the Company
receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for
the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not
all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the
Company, subject to Section 3(d)(i) and Section 3(e), shall convert
from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such
date a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Notes
submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes
submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to
the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for
conversion on such date.
(e)
Limitations on
Conversions
.
(i)
[RESERVED]
(ii)
Principal
Market Regulation
. The Company shall not issue any shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to
the terms of this Note if the issuance of such shares of Common
Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
which the Company may issue upon conversion or exercise (as the
case may be) of the Notes and the Warrants or otherwise pursuant to
the terms of this Note without breaching the Company’s
obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market
(the number of shares which may be issued without violating such
rules and regulations, the “
Exchange Cap
”), except that such
limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A)
obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the
applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of
Common Stock in excess of such amount, (B) obtains a written
opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is
not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder or (C) obtain a waiver from the Principal Market of the
applicable rules of such Principal Market for the issuance of
Shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount. Until such
approval or such written opinion is obtained, no Buyer shall be
issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise (as the case
may be) of any Notes or any of the Warrants or otherwise pursuant
to the terms of this Note, shares of Common Stock in an amount
greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap multiplied by (ii)
the quotient of (1) the aggregate original principal amount of
Notes issued to such Buyer pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement on the Closing Date divided by (2) the aggregate original
principal amount of all Notes issued to the Buyers pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date (with respect to
each Buyer, the “
Exchange Cap
Allocation
”). In the event that any Buyer shall sell
or otherwise transfer, in accordance with this Agreement, any of
such Buyer’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro
rata portion of such Buyer’s Exchange Cap Allocation with
respect to such portion of such Notes so transferred, and the
restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee
with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so
allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion and exercise in full
of a holder’s Notes (including Interest Shares) and Warrants,
the difference (if any) between such holder’s Exchange Cap
Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued
to such holder upon such holder’s conversion in full of such
holder’s Notes (including Interest Shares) and exercise in
full of such Warrants shall be allocated to the respective Exchange
Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes and Warrants on a
pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Notes and Warrants then held by each such holder. In
the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of
Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3(e)(ii) (the
“
Exchange Cap
Shares
”), the Company shall pay cash (each, an
“
Exchange Cap Share
Cancellation Amount
”) in exchange for the cancellation
of such shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the sum of (i)
the product of (x) such number of Exchange Cap Shares and (y) the
greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day
during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the
applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Exchange Cap
Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and
payment under this Section 3(e)(ii) and (ii) to the extent the
Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the
Holder of Exchange Cap Shares, any brokerage commissions and other
out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in
connection therewith.

5.
RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL
TRANSACTION
.
(a)
The Company shall
not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the
Successor Entity (if different than the Company) assumes in writing
all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other
Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 5(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to
deliver to each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes a
security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to the Notes,
including, without limitation, having a principal amount and
interest rate equal to the principal amounts then outstanding and
the interest rates of the Notes held by such holder, having similar
conversion rights as the Notes and having similar ranking to the
Notes. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the
Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that
from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the
provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents
referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the
Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the
Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company
under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same
effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company
herein immediately following the applicable Fundamental
Transaction. In addition to the foregoing, upon consummation of a
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity (if different than
the Company) shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there
shall also be issued upon conversion of this Note at any time after
the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the
shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or
other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 6
and 12, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter) issuable
upon the conversion of the Notes prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, such shares of the common stock (or their equivalent)
of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the
Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of
such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard
to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of this Note.
(b)
Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 5(a), (1) the Company shall have the right to
require that Holder waive the requirements of Section 5(a) (the
“
Waiver
”) in a
Fundamental Transaction in which the definitive documentation
relating to such Fundamental Transaction provides that the Buyer
shall receive proceeds equal to the product of (A) the number of
shares of Common Stock into which this Note is convertible assuming
the Holder had converted the outstanding principal balance of this
Note and accrued but unpaid interest hereon into Common Stock as of
the earlier of the applicable record date for determining
entitlement to proceeds of such Fundamental Transaction or
immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction and (B) purchase price per share of Common Stock in
such Fundamental Transaction (such product, “
Fundamental Transaction Amount
”)
and (2) the Holder shall have the right to receive the Fundamental
Transaction Amount or, if the consideration paid to holders of
Common Stock in respect of such Fundamental Transaction includes
non-cash consideration, such securities or other assets (including
cash) received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in
connection with the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction in
such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had
this Note been converted into Common Stock as of immediately prior
to the earlier of the record date for determining entitlement to
such consideration or as of immediately prior to the consummation
of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the assumption
contemplated by Section 5(a). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 5(a), until such time that the Holder
receives the Fundamental Transaction Amount (at which point this
Note shall be cancelled), this Note may be exercised, in whole or
in part, by the Holder (x) prior to consummation of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction, into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3,
or (y) upon (which may be expressly conditioned upon the
consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction) or after
the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, into
any such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other
property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or
subscription rights, if applicable) which the Holder would have
been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental
Transaction had the Note been exercised immediately prior to the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction.
(c)
The provisions of
this Section 5 shall apply similarly and equally to successive
Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any
limitations on the conversion of this Note.
6.
RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE
RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS
.
(a)
Purchase Rights
. In addition to
any adjustments pursuant to Section 7 below, if at any time the
Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property
pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any
class of Common Stock (the “
Purchase Rights
”), then the Holder
will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder
could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note
(without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the
convertibility of this Note) immediately before the date on which a
record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase
Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant,
issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(b)
Other Corporate Events
. In
addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder,
prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant
to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive
securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for
shares of Common Stock (a “
Corporate Event
”), the Company
shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will
thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note
(i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such
conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder
would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common
Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon
the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into
account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of
this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise
receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets
received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection
with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as
the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note
initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such
consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a
conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the
Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder. The provisions of this Section 6(b) shall apply similarly
and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied
without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this
Note.
7.
RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER
SECURITIES
.
(a)
Adjustment of Conversion Price upon
Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock
. Without limiting
any provision of Section 5, if the Company at any time on or after
the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares,
the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any
provision of Section 5, if the Company at any time on or after the
Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination will be
proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section
7(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of
such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an
adjustment under this Section 7(a) occurs during the period that a
Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of
such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect
such event.
(b)
Calculations
. All calculations
under this Section 7 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent
or the nearest 1/100
th
of a share, as
applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any
given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the
account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares
shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
8.
NONCIRCUMVENTION
. The Company
hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment
of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme
of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times
in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take
all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder
of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of
Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note above the
Conversion Price, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
upon the conversion of this Note, and (iii) shall, so long as any
of the Notes are outstanding, take all action reasonably necessary
to reserve and keep available, no later than April 30, 2019, out of
its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of effecting the conversion of the Notes, the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
necessary to effect the conversion of the Notes then outstanding
(without regard to any limitations on conversion).
9.
RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED
SHARES
.
(a)
Reservation
. As soon as
practicable but in no event later than April 20, 2019, the Company
shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued Common
Stock and for so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the
Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, at least
such number of shares of Common Stock for each of the Notes equal
to 125% the maximum number of Conversion Shares issued and issuable
pursuant to the Notes (determined without taking into account any
limitations on the conversion of the Notes set forth therein and
assuming that the Notes are convertible at the Company Conversion
Price) and for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants issuable
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the
“
Required Reserve
Amount
”). The initial number of shares of Common Stock
reserved for conversions of the Notes and each increase in the
number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the
holders of the Notes based on the original principal amount of the
Notes held by each holder on the Closing Date or increase in the
number of reserved shares (as the case may be) (the
“
Authorized Share
Allocation
”). In the event that a holder shall sell or
otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, each
transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such
holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common
Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any
Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Notes, pro
rata based on the principal amount of the Notes then held by such
holders.
(b)
Insufficient Authorized Shares
.
If, notwithstanding Section 9(a), and not in limitation thereof, at
any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Company does
not have a sufficient number of authorized and otherwise unreserved
shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for
issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an
“
Authorized Share
Failure
”), then the Company shall immediately take all
action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares
of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to
reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon
as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized
Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the
occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold

SEC Documents (the
“
Financial

”
)
complied in all material respects with applicable accounting

misleading, in the light of the circumstance under which they are
or were made. The Company is not currently contemplating to amend
or restate any of the Financial Statements nor is the Company

otherwise, of that Person with respect to any Indebtedness, lease,
dividend or other obligation of another Person if the primary
purpose or intent of the Person incurring such liability, or the
primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of
such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged, or
that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that
the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in
part) against loss with respect thereto; and (z)
“
Person

liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a
trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and any

Common Stock or any of the Company
’
s or its Subsidiaries
’
officers or directors, whether of a
civil or criminal nature or otherwise, in their capacities as such,
except as set forth in
Schedule 3(s)
of the Disclosure Letter
. No
director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries has willfully violated 18 U.S.C.
§
1519 or engaged in spoliation in
reasonable anticipation of litigation. Without limitation of the
foregoing, there has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company,
there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC
involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any current or
former director or officer of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order
suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by
the Company under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act. After reasonable
inquiry of its employees, the Company is not aware of any fact
which might result in or form the basis for any such action, suit,

prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and
its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such
Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or
applied for and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any
reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain
substantially similar coverage from substantially similar insurers
as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would
not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(u)
Employee
Relations

Company or any of its Subsidiaries has notified the Company or any
such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or
any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer
’
s employment with the Company or any
such Subsidiary. No executive officer or other key employee of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in
violation of any material term of any employment contract,
confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement,
non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or
any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such
executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) does
not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability
with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and
foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and
employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of
employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in
compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate,

all material respects, with all laws, rules and regulations
applicable to such activities, including applicable good laboratory

practices, except for such non-compliance as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
The descriptions of the results of such tests and trials contained
in the SEC Documents are complete and accurate in all material
respects such that there would be no untrue statement of a material
fact or omission of a material fact necessary to make the
statements in the SEC Documents, in light of the circumstances
under which they are made, not misleading. The Company is not aware

caused to be initiated, conducted or issued, any recall, field

authority or any institutional or ethical review board or other
non-governmental authority intends to impose, require, request or
suggest such notice or action.

Company of the provisions of this 5(c), that the applicable Buyer
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to

opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions

other party; provided, however, (i) the right to terminate this
Agreement under this 8 shall not be available to such Buyer if the

Buyer
’
s breach of this
Agreement and (ii) the abandonment of the sale and purchase of the
Notes shall be applicable only to such Buyer providing such written
notice, provided further that no such termination shall affect any
obligation of the Company under this Agreement to reimburse such
Buyer for the expenses described in 4(g) above. Nothing contained
in this 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability
for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right
of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of
its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents.
(a)
Governing Law;
Jurisdiction; Jury Trial
. All questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of
New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of
law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any
other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws
of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough
of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in
connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents
or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any
way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any
Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the
Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the
Company
’
s obligations to
such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor
of such Buyer.
EACH
PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND
AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY
DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER
TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY.
(b)
Counterparts
.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical
counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been
signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event
that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an
e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an
executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid
and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf
such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if
such signature page were an original thereof.
(c)
Headings;
Gender
. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience
of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the
interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly
indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include
the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof.
The terms
“
including,
”
“
includes,
”
“

”
and words of like import shall be
construed broadly as if followed by the words
“
without limitation.
”
The terms
“
herein,
”
“
hereunder,
”
“
hereof
”
and words of like import refer to
this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they
are found.
(d)
Severability; Maximum
Payment Amounts
. If any provision of this Agreement is
prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision
that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall
be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be
valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of
such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so
modified continues to express, without material change, the
original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof
and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the
provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the
respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or
the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be
conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable
provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes
as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or
unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document (and without implication that the following is required or
applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event
shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its
Subsidiaries (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any
of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including, any
amounts that would be characterized as
“
interest
”
under applicable law) exceed
amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any
obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any
Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially
determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such
obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have
been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its
Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted
with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest,
as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable
law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by
reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of
interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful
amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under
the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent
that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts
required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the
Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the
meaning of
“
interest
”
or another applicable term to
otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be
pro-rated over the period of time to which they
relate.
(e)
Entire Agreement;
Amendments
. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents
and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the
instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior
oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, its
Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf,
including any transactions by any Buyer with respect to Common
Stock or the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and
therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the
schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the
instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire
understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters
covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be
deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has
entered into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from,
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof
with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the
Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any
obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any
agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among
the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer, or any
instruments any Buyer received from the Company and/or any of its
Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and all such agreements and
instruments shall continue in full force and effect. Except as
specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor
any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or
undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification
purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of
this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in
writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders, and any
amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity
with the provisions of this 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and
holders of Securities, as applicable; provided that no such
amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies to
less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or
(B) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such
Buyer
’
s prior written
consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer
’
s sole discretion). No waiver shall
be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required
Holders may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver
of any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the
provisions of this 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders
of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver shall be
effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the
holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a party gives a
waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or
liability on any Buyer without such Buyer
’
s prior written consent (which may
be granted or withheld in such Buyer
’
s sole discretion). No consideration
(other than reimbursement of legal fees) shall be offered or paid
to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of
any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same
consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the
Transaction Documents or all holders of Notes or Warrants (as the
case may be). From the date hereof and while any Notes or Warrants
are outstanding, the Company shall not be permitted to receive any
consideration from a Buyer or a holder of Notes or Warrants that is
not otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents in order
to, directly or indirectly, induce the Company (i) to treat such
Buyer or holder of Notes or Warrants in a manner that is more
favorable than to other similarly situated Buyers or holders of
Notes or Warrants, or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s) or holder(s) of
Notes or Warrants in a manner that is less favorable than the Buyer
or holder of Notes or Warrants that is paying such consideration;
provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has
been treated more or less favorably than another Buyer shall
disregard any securities of the Company purchased or sold by any
Buyer. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any
agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except
as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, no Buyer has made any
commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any
financing to the Company, any Subsidiary or otherwise. As a
material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement,
the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) no due
diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer,
any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect such
Buyer
’
s right to rely on,
or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any
of, the Company
’
s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document and (y) unless a provision of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document is expressly preceded
by the phrase
“
except as
disclosed in the SEC Documents,
”
nothing contained in any of the SEC
Documents shall affect such Buyer
’
s right to rely on, or shall modify
or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the
Company
’
s representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document.

the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision
hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the Indemnitees

(i)

representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive

done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates,

purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.
(i)
In consideration of
each Buyer
’
s execution
and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party
and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of
the Company
’
s other
obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall

members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect
investors and any of the foregoing Persons
’
agents or other representatives
(including those retained in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the
“
Indemnitees
”
) from and against any and all
actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties,
fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith
(irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the
action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and
including reasonable attorneys
’
fees and disbursements (the
“
Indemnified
Liabilities
”
),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or
relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any
representation or warranty made by the Company in any of the
Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement
or obligation of the Company contained in any of the Transaction
Documents, (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained, or incorporated by reference, in a
registration statement or any amendment thereto or any omission or
alleged omission to state therein, or in any document incorporated
by reference therein, a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iv)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained, or incorporated by reference, in any prospectus, any
issuer free writing prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, or in any “issuer information” (as
defined in Rule 433 under the 1933 Act) of the Company, which
“issuer information” is required to be, or is, filed
with the SEC or otherwise contained in any free writing prospectus,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged
omission to state therein, or in any document incorporated by
reference therein, a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (v) any
violation of United States federal or state securities laws or the
rules and regulations of the Principal Market or any Eligible
Market in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, affiliates,
officers, directors or employees or (vi) any cause of action, suit,
proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a
third party (including for these purposes a derivative action
brought on behalf of the Company) or which otherwise involves such
Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction
Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole
or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the
issuance of the Securities, (C) any disclosure properly made by
such Buyer pursuant to 4(i), or (D) the status of such Buyer or
holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company
pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including as a party in
interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or
other equitable relief), in each case, other than as a result of
any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty
made by such Buyer or holder of the Securities. To the extent that
the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for
any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities
which is permissible under applicable law.
(ii)
Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnitee under this 9(k) of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified
Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against the Company under this 9(k), deliver to the
Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the
Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof
with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the
Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the
right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such
counsel to be paid by the Company if: (A) the Company has agreed in
writing to pay such fees and expenses; (B) the Company shall have
failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability
and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in
any such Indemnified Liability; or (C) the named parties to any
such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties)
include both such Indemnitee and the Company, and such Indemnitee
shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is
likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such
Indemnitee and the Company (in which case, if such Indemnitee
notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the Company, then the Company shall not
have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall
be at the expense of the Company), provided further, that in the
case of clause (C) above the Company shall not be responsible for
the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate
legal counsel for the Indemnitees. The Indemnitee shall reasonably
cooperate with the Company in connection with any negotiation or
defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by the Company
and shall furnish to the Company all information reasonably
available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or
Indemnified Liability. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee
reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or
any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall
not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding
effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that
the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent
of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to
such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall
not include any admission as to fault on the part of the
Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder,
the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee
with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating
to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure
to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time
of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the
Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under this 9(k), except
to the extent that the Company is materially and adversely
prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(iii)
The
indemnification required by this 9(k) shall be made by periodic
payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or
Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.
(iv)
The
indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to (A)
any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the
Company or others, and (B) any liabilities the Company may be
subject to pursuant to the law.
(l)
Construction
.
The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the
language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and
no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality
or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each
and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any
other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock
shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock
dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar
transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the
date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained
herein shall constitute a representation or warranty against, or a
prohibition of, any actions with respect to the borrowing of,
arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of,
and/or securing of, securities of the Company in order for such
Buyer (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect
short sales or similar transactions in the future.
(m)
Remedies
. Each
Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and
obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all
rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all
rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any
time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights
which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights
under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce
such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other
security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any
provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights
granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the
event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of
its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law
would inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees
that the Buyers shall be entitled to specific performance and/or
temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable
relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case
without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting
a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in
addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a
decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive
relief).
(n)
Withdrawal
Right
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
(and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction
Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand
or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not
timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein
provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole
discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company,
any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without
prejudice to its future actions and rights.
(o)
Payment Set Aside;
Currency
. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other
Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise
their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments
or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof
are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are
required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the
Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law
(including any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any
such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended
to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or
setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all
dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (
“
U.S. Dollars
”
), and all amounts owing under this
Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S.
Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall
be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance
with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation.
“
Exchange
Rate
”
means, in relation
to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars
pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as
published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of
calculation.
(p)
Judgment
Currency
. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing
judgment against the Company in connection with this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document in any court in any jurisdiction it
becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other
currency being hereinafter in this 9(p) referred to as the
“
Judgment
Currency
”
) an
amount due in U.S. Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion
shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Business Day
immediately preceding:
(A)
the date actual
payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the
courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that
will give effect to such conversion being made on such date:
or
(B)
the date on which
the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the
courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such
conversion is made pursuant to this Section 10(p) being hereinafter
referred to as the
“
Judgment Conversion
Date
”
).
(ii)
If
in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction
referred to in Section 10(p)(1) above, there is a change in the
Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and
the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party
shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that
the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the
Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the
amount of U.S. Dollars which could have been purchased with the
amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial
order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion
Date.
(iii)
Any
amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a
separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained
for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document.
(q)
Independent Nature of
Buyers’ Obligations and Rights
. The obligations of
each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall
be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of
any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by
any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute
the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not
so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or
any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the
Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity,
and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges
that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the
Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as
agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its
investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as
agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such
Buyer
’
s investment in the
Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents.
The Company and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has
independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries in
the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the
advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be
entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including
the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other
Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other
Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for
such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the
purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely
in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any
Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and
its Subsidiaries and not because it was required or requested to do
so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each
provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction
Document is between the Company and a Buyer, solely, and not
between the Company and the Buyers collectively and not between and
among the Buyers.

CORMEDIX ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF $7.5 MILLION SENIOR SECURED
CONVERTIBLE DEBT FINANCING
Berkeley Heights, NJ – January 3, 2019
– CorMedix Inc. (NYSE American: CRMD),
a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and
commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and
treatment of infectious and inflammatory disease, today announced
that it has
closed and drawn a
previously announced $7.5 million, senior secured convertible debt
financing with its largest shareholder. The loan has a three-year
maturity and carries an interest rate of 10% per annum. At the
investor’s option, the loan is convertible into the
Company’s common stock at a price equal to $1.50 per share.
It will be callable beginning in 18 months. Additionally, the loan
will automatically convert at the conversion rate into shares of
common stock, if, prior to the maturity date, the average closing
sale price of the Company's common stock for any 20 trading days
during any consecutive 30 trading days equals or exceeds 150% of
the conversion price.
In connection with the financing, the Company issued new, five-year
warrants to purchase 450,000 shares of its common stock with an
exercise price of $1.50 per share, and as previously announced,
reduced the exercise price to 1/10th of a cent on two existing
warrants held by the shareholder, one to purchase 500,000 shares at
$0.65 expiring in May 2019 and the other for 750,000 shares at
$0.90 expiring in October 2019.
No underwriter or placement agent was involved with this
transaction.
Khoso Baluch, CorMedix CEO commented, “We are pleased to have
met our objective to complete this transaction by December 31,
2018. This financing significantly improves our financial condition
as we commence what we believe will be the final steps in our
Neutrolin® development plan. Our next objective is to report
the top line results of the LOCK-IT-100 study, following database
lock and unblinding, which are expected to occur in the near
future.”
The Company has concurrently filed a Current Report on Form 8-K
that contains the full terms and conditions of the
transaction.
About CorMedix
CorMedix Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing
and commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and
treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases. The Company is
focused on developing its lead product Neutrolin
®
,
a novel, non-antibiotic antimicrobial solution designed to prevent
costly and dangerous bloodstream infections associated with the use
of central venous catheters, currently in Phase 3 development for
patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. Such infections cost the
U.S. healthcare system approximately $6 billion annually and
contribute significantly to increased morbidity and mortality.
Neutrolin has FDA Fast Track status and is designated as a
Qualified Infectious Disease Product, which provides the potential
for priority review of a marketing application by FDA and
allows for 5 additional years of QIDP market exclusivity in the
event of U.S. approval. Neutrolin is already marketed as a CE
Marked product in Europe and other territories. In parallel,
CorMedix is leveraging its taurolidine technology to develop a
pipeline of antimicrobial medical devices, with active programs in
surgical sutures and meshes, and topical hydrogels. The
company is also working with top-tier researchers to develop
taurolidine-based therapies for rare pediatric cancers. For
