BIOJECT MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES INC.

 

WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF          SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

 

Warrant No.

 

This Warrant Expires on September 7, 2010

 

THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received,                               , a Delaware limited partnership, with an address at                                     (including any permitted transferee, the “Holder”), is the registered holder of this Warrant, which represents the right to purchase                  fully paid and nonassessable shares of the common stock, without par value (the “Common Stock”) of BIOJECT MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES INC., an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), at an initial exercise price equal to $1.37 per share (subject to adjustment as provided herein) (the “Exercise Price”) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, at any time or from time to time from March 8, 2006 until 5:00 P.M. on September 7, 2010, New York time (the “Exercise Period”).

 

This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2006, by and among the Company and the entities listed on Schedule 1 thereto (the “N&W Purchase Agreement”). As used herein, the term “this Warrant” shall mean and include this Warrant and any Warrant or Warrants hereafter issued as a consequence of the exercise or transfer of this Warrant in whole or in part. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) and the Exercise Price may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the N&W Purchase Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated the date hereof, between the Company and the parties listed on Exhibit A thereto, the Company is required to register the Warrant Shares for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, together with, and at the time, the securities offered and sold by the Company in its next private offering and sale of equity securities (including the Securities Offering (as defined in the N&W Purchase Agreement)) are so registered, and the Warrant Shares shall be Registrable Securities under any registration rights or similar agreement entered into by the Company in connection with any such offering of equity securities.

 

1.                                       Exercise of Warrant.

 

(a)                                  This Warrant may be exercised during the Exercise Period, as to the whole or any lesser number of whole Warrant Shares, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the election at the end hereof duly executed) to the Company at the notice address set forth in paragraph 14 hereof or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Company. Such executed election must be accompanied by payment in an amount

 

1



 

equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised. Such payment may be made by certified or bank cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company.

 

(b)                                 All or any part of this Warrant may be exercised on a “cashless” basis, by stating in the Exercise Notice such intention and the maximum number (the “Maximum Number”) of shares of Common Stock the Holder desires to purchase in consideration of cancellation of Warrants in payment for such exercise. The number of shares of Common Stock the Holder shall receive (the “Cashless Exercise Number”) upon such exercise pursuant to this Section 1(b) shall equal the quotient that is obtained when the product of the Maximum Number and the difference between the Current Weighted Market Price and the then current Exercise Price is divided by the then Current Weighted Market Price per share (as hereinafter defined). The following is an example of the determination of the Cashless Exercise Number:

 

X = Y(A-B)

A

 

Where                                                                                                                                    X =                             the Cashless Exercise Number

 

Y =                              the Maximum Number

 

A =                            the Current Weighted Market Price of one share of the Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

 

B =                              the current Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

2.                                       Issuance of Certificates Upon Exercise. Upon each exercise of the Holder’s rights to purchase Warrant Shares, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then have been actually delivered to the Holder. As soon as practicable after each such exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares (or portions thereof) subject to purchase hereunder.

 

3.                                       Transfer; Restrictions on Transfer; Compliance with the Act; Registration Rights.

 

(a)                                  Any Warrants issued upon the transfer or exercise in part of this Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a Warrant Register as they are issued. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Warrants which are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration or transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith. This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the Company upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by his duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative, duly authenticated evidence of his or its authority shall be produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled thereto. This Warrant may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the

 

2



 

right to purchase a like number of Warrant Shares (or portions thereof), upon surrender to the Company or its duly authorized agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to cause Warrants to be transferred on its books to any person if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such transfer does not comply with the provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

(b)                                 The Holder acknowledges that the Holder has been advised by the Company that neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Act, that this Warrant is being or has been issued and the Warrant Shares may be issued on the basis of the statutory exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or both, relating to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and that the Company’s reliance thereon is based in part upon the representations made by the original Holder in the Purchase Agreement. The Holder acknowledges that he has been informed by the Company of, or is otherwise familiar with, the nature of the limitations imposed by the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder on the transfer of securities. In particular, the Holder agrees that no sale, assignment or transfer of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof shall be valid or effective, and the Company shall not be required to give any effect to any such sale, assignment or transfer, unless (i) the sale, assignment or transfer of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares is registered under the Act, it being understood that neither this Warrant nor such Warrant Shares are currently registered for sale and that the Company has no obligation or intention to so register this Warrant or such Warrant Shares except as specifically referred to herein, or (ii) this Warrant or such Warrant Shares are sold, assigned or transferred in accordance with all the requirements and limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, it being understood that Rule 144 is not available at the time of the original issuance of this Warrant for the sale of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares and that there can be no assurance that Rule 144 sales will be available at any subsequent time, or (iii) such sale, assignment, or transfer is otherwise exempt from registration under the Act.

 

4.                                       Nonassessable Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the rights to purchase all Warrant Shares granted pursuant to this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to time, be sufficient therefor. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, upon receipt by the Company of the full Exercise Price therefor, shall be validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and free of preemptive rights.

 

5.                                       Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares.

 

(a)                                  In case the Company shall at any time after the date this Warrant was first issued (i) declare a dividend on the outstanding Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then, in each case, the Exercise Price, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination, or reclassification, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder after such time shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such time, the Holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination, or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

 

(b)                                 In case the Company shall issue or fix a record date for the issuance to all holders of Common Stock of rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a Conversion or exchange price per share, if a security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) less than the Current Weighted Market Price (as hereinafter defined) per share of Common Stock on such record date, then, in each case, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the

 

3



 

numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the aggregate initial conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so to be offered) would purchase at such Current Weighted Market Price and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so to be offered are initially convertible or exchangeable); provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be made which results in an increase in the Exercise Price and every adjustment shall be subject to Section 5(f) hereof. Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that, to the extent the shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) are not delivered, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted after the expiration of such rights, options, or warrants (but only with respect to Warrants exercised after such expiration), to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options, or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) actually issued. In case any subscription price may be paid in consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company or any majority-owned subsidiary shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

(c)                                  In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made to the stockholders of the Company in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) evidences of its indebtedness, cash (other than any cash dividend which, together with any cash dividends paid within the 12 months prior to the record date for such distribution, does not exceed 5% of the Current Weighted Market Price at the record date for such distribution) or assets (other than distributions and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock), or rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, or securities convertible into or changeable for shares of Common Stock (excluding those with respect to the issuance of which an adjustment of the Exercise Price is provided pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof), then, in each case, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Weighted Market Price per share of Common Stock on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed, or of such rights, options, or warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, or the amount of such cash, applicable to one share, and the denominator of which shall be such Current Weighted Market Price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date.

 

(d)                                 For the purpose of any computation under this Agreement, the “Current Weighted Market Price” per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the arithmetic average of the daily VWAPs per share of the Common Stock on the Principal Market for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on and including the Trading Day immediately prior to the date in question. If the Current Weighted Market Price cannot be determined under the foregoing method, the Current Weighted Market Price shall mean the fair value per share of Common Stock on such date as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, irrespective of any accounting treatment.

 

(e)                                  No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $.01 (which amount will be proportionately adjusted in the event of stock splits or the like); provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 5 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be.

 

4



 

(f)                                    In any case in which this Section 5 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holder, if the Holder exercised this Warrant after such record date, the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’s right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

 

(g)                                 Whenever there shall be an adjustment as provided in this Section 5, the Company shall promptly cause written notice thereof to be sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder, at its address as it shall appear in the Warrant Register, which notice shall be accompanied by an officer’s certificate setting forth the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation thereof, which officer’s certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment absent manifest error.

 

(h)                                 The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a share would be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the market price of such share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of this Warrant, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

(i)                                     Principal Market means whichever of (a) the national securities exchange, (b) the Nasdaq Stock Market, or (c) such other securities market on which the Common Stock is listed for trading which at such time constitutes the principal securities market for the Common Stock.

 

(j)                                     Trading Day means a day on whichever of (a) the national securities exchange, (b) the Nasdaq Stock Market, or (c) such other securities markets, in any case which at the time constitutes the Principal Market for the Common Stock, is open for general trading of securities.

 

(k)                                  VWAP of the Common Stock on any Trading Day means the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market, as reported by Bloomberg Financial, L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, using the AQR function, for such Trading Day; provided, however, if the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market is not reported by Bloomberg Financial, L.P., it will be determined by (a) using all regular way trades (including sold sales and late sales) reported by the appropriate reporting authority from 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, (b) multiplying each respective reported price by the total number of shares traded at that price, (c) adding together each of these calculated values to compile an aggregate sum, and (d) dividing the aggregate sum by the total number of reported shares that appear in the prints included in step (a); and provided, further, during any period the VWAP is being determined, the VWAP shall be subject to equitable adjustments from time to time on terms consistent with Section 5 and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Majority Interest for (s) stock splits, (t) stock dividends, (u) combinations, (v) capital reorganizations, (w) issuance to all holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, (x) distribution by the Company to all holders of Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness of the Company or cash (other than regular quarterly dividends), (y) tender offers by the Company or any subsidiary for, or other repurchases of shares of, Common Stock in one or more transactions which, individually or in the aggregate, result in the purchase of more than ten percent of the Common Stock outstanding, and (z) similar events relating to the Common Stock, in each case which occur, or with respect to which “ex-” trading of the Common Stock begins, during such period. If on any Trading Day there is no reported sale of Common Stock, the VWAP will not be determinable for such day.

6.                                       Reclassification: Reorganization or Merger.

 

(a)                                  In case of any consolidation with or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation) or in case of any sale, lease, or conveyance to another corporation of the property and assets of any nature of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, such successor, leasing, or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall (i) execute with the Holder an agreement providing that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Warrant solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash, or any combination thereof receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, or conveyance, and (ii) make effective provision in its certificate of incorporation or otherwise, if necessary, to effect such agreement. Such agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments in Section 6 above.

 

(b)                                 In case of any reclassification or change of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value or from no par value to a specified par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), or in case of any consolidation or merger of another corporation into the Company in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which there is a reclassification or change (including a change to the right to receive cash or other property) of the shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to a specified par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Warrant solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash, or any combination thereof receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, or merger. Thereafter, appropriate provision shall be made for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments in Section 6.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in the event of a transaction contemplated by Section 6(a) in which the surviving, continuing, successor, purchasing or leasing corporation demands that all outstanding convertible notes and warrants be extinguished prior to the closing date of the contemplated transaction, the Company shall give prior notice (the “Merger Notice”) thereof to the Holder advising the Holder of such transaction. The Holder shall have ten (10) days after the date of the Merger Notice to elect to (i) exercise this Warrant in the manner provided herein or (ii) receive from the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation the same consideration receivable by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or purchase reduced by such amount of the consideration as has a market value equal to the Exercise Price, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If the Holder fails to timely notify the Company of its election, the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have elected the option set forth in (ii) above. Any amounts receivable by a Holder who has elected the option set forth in (ii) above shall be payable at the same time as amounts payable to shareholders in connection with any such transaction.

 

(d)                                 The above provisions of this Section 6 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, or conveyances.

 

7.                                       Certain Notices to the Holder. In case at any time the Company shall propose to: (i) pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or make any other distribution (other than regularly scheduled cash dividends which are not in a greater amount per share than the most recent such cash dividend) to all holders of Common Stock; (ii) issue any rights, warrants, or other securities to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or any other rights, warrants, or other securities; (iii) effect any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or

 

6



 

any consolidation, merger, sale, lease, or conveyance of property, described in Section 6; or (iv) effect any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company; then, and in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give written notice thereof, by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at the Holder’s address as it shall appear in the Warrant Register, mailed at least fifteen (15) days prior to (x) the date as of which the holders of record of shares of Common Stock to be entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution, rights, warrants, or other securities are to be determined, (y) the date on which any such reclassification, change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, change of outstanding shares, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property, liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, or (z) the date of such action which would require an adjustment to the Exercise Price.

 

8.                                       Issue Tax. The issuance of any shares or other securities upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such shares or other securities, shall be made without charge to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such issuance. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

9.                                       Restrictive Legend. The Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to a stop transfer order and the certificate or certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:

15.                                 Overall Cap On Common Stock Issued And Issuable.

 

(a)                                  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any agreement between the Holder and the Company executed in connection herewith to the contrary, if the rules of Nasdaq require, the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant for shares of Common Stock in accordance with its terms (such shares of Common Stock being referred to herein as “Conversion Shares”), to the extent that either: (i) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares issued and issuable by the Company pursuant to the Bridge Notes and the Bridge Warrants exceeds 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company outstanding on the original date of issuance of the Warrants (Date of Original Issuance) or (ii) after giving effect to such conversion or exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 19.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock or the voting power of the Company outstanding immediately after the Bridge Loan  (the securities issued and issuable up to and in compliance with the 19.9% thresholds described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, being referred to herein as the “Issuable Maximum”), unless the issuance of securities in excess of the Issuable Maximum shall first be approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with applicable law and the Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation of the Company. If, at the time of any potential exercise of this Warrant, the Conversion Shares issued and issuable exceed the Issuable Maximum (and if the Company has not previously obtained the required shareholder approval), the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Conversion Shares not exceeding the Issuable Maximum, and the remainder of the Conversion Shares to be issued shall constitute “Excess Shares” pursuant to paragraph 15(b) below.

 

(b)                                 In the event than the Holder’s receipt of Conversion Shares is restricted based on the Issuable Maximum, the Company shall promptly call a shareholder’s meeting for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval of the issuance of the Excess Shares to the Holder. No Conversion Shares issued pursuant to exercise of any Warrants shall be entitled to vote to approve the issuance of the Excess Shares.

 

(c)                                  Neither the Company nor any Holder may waive the provisions of this Section 15.
