7. The Company agrees to pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment No. 7, the Replacement Note and all other documents executed or to be executed in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the expenses and reasonable fees of its counsel in an amount not to exceed $1,500.

 

8. The Purchaser shall be permitted to set-off all amounts owed by it to the Company under the Investment Agreement against all amounts owed to it by the Company with respect to the Note.

 

9. Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain unchanged, and the Agreement, as so amended, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. The breach by the Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Amendment No. 7 shall represent an Event of Default.

This Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this “Warrant”) is issued as of this ___ day of ______________________, 201__, by Vaccinogen Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), to The Abell Foundation, Inc., a Maryland corporation or permitted successors or assigns (the “Holder”).

 

1. Issuance of Warrant; Term; Price.

 

1.1 Issuance. Pursuant to the terms of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2011, between the Company and the Holder (as the same has been and hereafter may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement”), the Holder made a loan to the Company evidenced by a promissory note in the original maximum principal amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) dated as of October 26, 2011 (as the same has been and hereafter may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note”). In consideration of the issuance of the Note and the subsequent amendments and restatements thereof, and such other consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby grants to Holder the right to purchase, at any time and from time to time on and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date (as defined below), up to [______________] fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below. [Note: the number of Warrant Shares shall be equal to the sum of (a) $1,100,000 divided by eighty-five percent (85%) of the lowest purchase price per share of Common Stock sold in the Company’s the Venture Capital Financing (as defined in the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement) plus (b) 300,000 plus (c) the sum of (i) 60,000 Warrant Shares if the Note remains outstanding in whole or in part on March 1, 2014, (ii) 60,000 Warrant Shares if the Note remains outstanding in whole or in part on April 1, 2014, (iii) 60,000 Warrant Shares if the Note remains outstanding in whole or in part on May 1, 2014, (iv) 60,000 Warrant Shares if the Note remains outstanding in whole or in part on June 1, 2014, (v) 60,000 Warrant Shares if the Note remains outstanding in whole or in part on July 1, 2014, and (vi) 60,000 Warrant Shares if the Note remains outstanding in whole or in part on July 31, 2014.]

 

 
 

 

1.2 Term. This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time in whole or in part from the date hereof to the earlier of: (a) the ten-year anniversary of the date hereof; (b) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; and (c) any merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity and the shareholders then owing a majority of the outstanding equity interests in the Company no longer own or control a majority of such equity interests (the earlier of such events being the “Expiration Date”) by delivery to the Company at its principal executive offices of: (i) this Warrant; (ii) the Purchase Form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly completed and executed; and (iii) payment in accordance with Section 1.3 below. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be issued to the Holder as the record and beneficial owner of such Warrant Shares or to the Holder’s transferee as designated on the Purchase Form as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such Warrant Shares as aforesaid.

 

1.3. Exercise Price. Subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, the exercise price (the “Warrant Price”) per share for which all or any of the Warrant Shares may be purchased pursuant to the terms of this Warrant initially shall be equal to $_______ [Note: the Warrant Price per share shall equal eighty-five percent (85%) of the lowest price per share of the Common Stock issued in the Venture Capital Financing.] The Warrant Price shall be payable in cash or by certified or official bank check or by the cancellation of any present or future indebtedness from the Company to the Holder hereof in a dollar amount equal to the purchase price of the Common Stock for which the consideration is being given, or by surrendering for cancellation shares of capital stock of the Company which shares have a fair market value equal to the purchase price of Common Stock for which the consideration is being given.

 

2. Adjustment of Warrant Price, Number and Kind of Shares. The Warrant Price and the number and kind of securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time and the Company agrees to provide notice upon the happening of certain events as follows.

 

2.1 Stock Dividends Adjustment. In case at any time and from time to time after the date hereof, the holders of the Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other additional securities or other property (other than cash) of the Company by way of dividend or distribution, then and in each case, the Holder shall, upon the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional securities or other property (other than cash) of the Company which the Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such Warrant Shares and/or all other additional securities or other property receivable by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by this Section 2.

 

- 2 -
 

 

2.2 Reclassification or Reorganization Adjustment. In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) at any time and from time to time after the date hereof, and the Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change or reorganization, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 2.

 

2.3 Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits. If at any time and from time to time after the date hereof, the Company shall subdivide or otherwise change its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall thereby be proportionately reduced and the number of shares receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall thereby be proportionately increased; and, conversely, if at any time and from time to time after the date hereof, the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock shall be combined or otherwise changed into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall thereby be proportionately increased and the number of shares receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall thereby be proportionately decreased.

 

2.4 Other Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation or bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and conditions and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.

 

3. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any subscription hereunder. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

- 3 -
 

 

4. No Shareholder Rights. This Warrant as such shall not entitle Holder to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company until the Holder has exercised this Warrant in accordance with Section 6 hereof.

 

5. Reservation of Stock. The Company covenants that during the period this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares thereof to provide for the issuance of Warrant Shares or other securities upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Warrant Shares or other securities upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

6. Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised by Holder by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, accompanied by notice of and payment in full of the purchase price of the Warrant Shares the Holder elects to purchase hereunder. As a condition to the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall execute any agreement then in effect among the holders of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the Warrant Shares or other securities and/or property issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of such Warrant Shares or other securities of record as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided above. The Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise hereof shall, upon their issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable. If this Warrant shall be exercised in part only, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate representing the Warrant Shares in respect of which this Warrant has been exercised, make a notation on this Warrant stating the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised and this Warrant shall then be returned to the Holder.

 

7. Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Warrant Price or number or type of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the record holder of this Warrant a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the nature of such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

- 4 -
 

 

8. Notice of Proposed Transfers. This Warrant is transferable by the Holder hereof subject to compliance with this Section 8. Prior to any proposed transfer of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares received on the exercise of this Warrant (the “Securities”), unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering the proposed transfer, the Holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient detail, and shall, if the Company so requests, be accompanied (except in transactions in compliance with Rule 144) by either: (a) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall be satisfactory to the Company acting reasonably addressed to the Company and satisfactory in form and substance to the Company’s counsel acting reasonably, to the effect that the proposed transfer of the Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; or (b) a “no action” letter from the Securities Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to the effect that the transfer of such Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the Holder of the Securities shall be entitled to transfer the Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company; provided, however, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by a Holder to any affiliate of such Holder for no consideration, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if such transferee were the original Holder hereunder. Each certificate evidencing the Securities transferred as above provided shall bear the appropriate restrictive legend set forth above, except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if in the opinion of counsel for the Company acting reasonably such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

 

9. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security satisfactory in form and amount to the Company acting reasonably, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrant if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

 

10. Dividends and Distributions. So long as any part of this Warrant remains outstanding and unexercised, the Company will, upon the declaration of a cash dividend upon its Common Stock or other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock and at least ten (10) days prior to the record date, notify the Holder hereof of such declaration, which notice will contain, at a minimum, the following information: (a) the date of the declaration of the dividend or distribution; (b) the amount of such dividend or distribution; (c) the record date of such dividend or distribution; and (d) the payment date or distribution date of such dividend or distribution. The Holder shall, upon the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional securities or other property (other than cash) of the Company which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of such Common Stock on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional securities or other property receivable by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments pursuant to Section 2.

11. Miscellaneous. This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of convenience of reference only, and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder shall be delivered personally or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile to the address or facsimile number furnished to the Company in writing by the last Holder who shall have furnished an address and facsimile number to the Company in writing, and if mailed shall be deemed given three days after deposit in the U.S. Mail.

15. Facsimile Signature. This Warrant may be executed by the Company in facsimile or pdf. form and upon receipt by the Holder of such faxed executed copy of this Warrant, this Warrant shall be binding upon and enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
