EX-4.2 7 y89680exv4w2.txt WARRANT AGREEMENT EXHIBIT 4.2 EXECUTION COPY EYETECH PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. WARRANT AGREEMENT This Warrant Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2000 (this "Agreement"), between EyeTech Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Gilead Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Gilead"). WHEREAS, the Company and Gilead have entered into a license agreement, whereby Gilead will license rights to a certain drug to the Company (the "License"); and WHEREAS, in partial consideration of the License, the Company is willing to issue warrants for its capital stock to Gilead; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Gilead hereby agree as follows: SECTION 1. Grant of Warrant. Subject to the terms of this Warrant Agreement, the Company hereby issues and grants to Gilead and its successors and assigns (collectively, the "Holder") a Warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 833,333 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company ("Series B Preferred") upon notice to the Company and payment of a per share Exercise Price of $6.00 ("Exercise Price") at any time from the date hereof until 5p.m., New York time, March 30, 2005 (the "Exercise Period"). The shares of Series B Preferred subject to the Warrant are sometimes referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares." The number of Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted from time to time as set forth in this Agreement. SECTION 2. Exercise of Warrant. (a) General. The Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by presentation and surrender of the Warrant Certificate, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Warrant Certificate"), to the Company at its principal office, or at the office of its share transfer agent, if any, along with (i) the Notice of Exercise, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B ("Exercise Form"), duly executed by an authorized officer or representative of the Holder, which Exercise Form shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder upon such exercise, and (ii) a certified or cashiers check in the amount of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares being issued (unless the Warrant is being exercised on a net issuance basis in accordance with Section 2(b) of this Agreement, in which case no payment need be made). The date that the Warrant Certificate, the Exercise Form and, if applicable, the Exercise Price are received by the Company in accordance with this Section 2(a) is referred to herein as the "Exercise Date." As soon as practicable after the Exercise Date, but not later than seven (7) days from the Exercise Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, which certificate shall be registered in the name of the Holder (or, if shares of Series B Preferred are not represented by certificates at the time of such exercise, the Warrant Shares shall be duly registered and recorded in the name of the Holder in the stock transfer and ownership books of the Company). If the Warrant is exercised in part at any time, the Company shall, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate on the same terms as the former Warrant Certificate evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to acquire the remainder of the Warrant Shares. Upon receipt by the Company of the Warrant Certificate, the aggregate Exercise Price and the Exercise Form at its office (or by the share transfer agent of the Company at its office, if any), the Holder shall immediately be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise even if (i) such Warrant Shares have not yet been duly registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, or (ii) the certificate, if any, representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be physically delivered to the Holder or its designee. (b) Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising the Warrant via cash payment, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of the Warrant by surrender of the Warrant Certificate to the Company at its principal office together with the Exercise Form by means of a net issuance exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company computed using the following formula: X=Y(A-B) -------- A Where X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder. Y = the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the number of Warrant Shares being purchased. A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one Warrant Share (at the date of such calculation). B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). If the above calculation results in a negative number, then no shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be issued or issuable upon conversion of this Warrant. (c) Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Agreement, the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share shall mean with respect to each share of Series B Preferred or Common Stock, as appropriate: (i) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public offering of the Common Stock, and if the Company's registration statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x) the initial "Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series B Preferred is convertible at the time of such exercise; (ii) if this Warrant is exercised after, and not in connection with the Company's initial public offering, and: (A) if the Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the closing prices over a 5 day period ending three days before the -2- day the current fair market value of the securities is being determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series B Preferred is convertible at the time of such exercise; or (B) if the Common Stock actively is traded over the-counter, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the closing bid and asked prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar system) over the 5 day period ending three days before the day the current fair market value of the securities is being determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series B Preferred is convertible at the time of such exercise; (iii) if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ system or the over-the-counter market, the current fair market value of Series B Preferred shall be determined in good faith by Board of Directors of the Company, taking into consideration, among other factors, the sales price per share which the Company could reasonably obtain from a willing buyer that is not a current employee or director, unless the Company shall become subject to a merger, acquisition or other consolidation pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving party, in which case the fair market value of Series B Preferred shall be deemed to be the value received by the holders of the Company's Series B Preferred on a common equivalent basis pursuant to such merger or acquisition. (d) Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by the Warrant, certificates for the Series B Preferred so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time. SECTION 3. Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgments. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows: (a) Holder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation; has all requisite power and authority to own or lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted; and is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation, in good standing in all jurisdictions where the failure of which would materially adversely effect the Holder's business. (b) Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company. (c) Holder understands that the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and, as a result, the Warrant Shares may not be assigned, transferred or otherwise conveyed unless registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. -3- (d) Holder understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Company's securities. (e) Holder has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's business, management, and financial affairs with its management and the opportunity to review the Company's facilities. It has also had an opportunity to ask questions of officers of the Company, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. It understands that such discussions, as well as any written information issued by the Company, were intended to describe certain aspects of the Company's business and prospects but were not a thorough or exhaustive description. (f) This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Holder, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Holder. (g) The Company has not, and will not, incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Holder, any liability for brokerage or finders' fees or agents' commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement. SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgments of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder that: (a) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; has all requisite power and authority to own or lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted; and is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all jurisdictions where the failure of which would materially adversely effect the Company's business. (b) The Company has all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, to issue the Warrant Shares and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize it to enter into and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. (c) This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. SECTION 5. Availability of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all of the Warrant Shares that are required to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant will, upon issuance, be (i) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from any and all preemptive and other rights of any person or entity, and (ii) free of all taxes, liens and charges. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of unissued shares of Series B Preferred, and shares of Common Stock into which the Warrant Shares are convertible, to satisfy the Company's obligations to issue Warrant Shares as and when required pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. The Company will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to assure that all of the -4- Warrant Shares required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement will be issued as and when provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation. SECTION 6. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or script representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a Warrant Share required to be issued upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of such Warrant Share. SECTION 7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrant Certificate, and in the case of loss, theft or destruction of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrant Certificate, the Company will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant Certificate on the same terms as the former Warrant Certificate. SECTION 8. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder shall be limited to those set forth in this Agreement. SECTION 9. Adjustment Provisions. (a) In the event that the Company shall at any time during the Exercise Period (i) declare a dividend on the Series B Preferred or Common Stock payable in shares of Series B Preferred or Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Series B Preferred or Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding Series B Preferred or Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Series B Preferred or Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), the number and kind of shares of capital stock issuable on such date, and the number and kinds of shares into which such issued shares of capital stock are convertible, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder, after such time, shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock which, if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such date, it 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) No adjustment under this Section 9 shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that any adjustments, which by reason of this Section 9(b) are not required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. (c) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant is adjusted pursuant to this Section 9, the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted accordingly. (d) If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 9(a) of this Agreement, the Holder shall become entitled to receive any share of capital stock of the -5- Company other than shares of Series B Preferred or Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as consistent as practicable with the provisions of this Section 9. (e) In the event that an adjustment under this Section 9 be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer the issuance of any or all of the Warrant Shares to the Holder (and such other securities as may be issuable to the Holder pursuant to this Section 9) until such specified event shall have occurred. (f) At such times as the Company issues or completes any sale of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock (each, a "New Financing") to any third party other than an officer, director, employee or service provider (a "New Investor"), the Holder will have a pre-emptive right to subscribe for such number and kinds of securities at the same purchase price per share or unit paid by the New Investor in such New Financing so as to preserve such Holder's equity ownership in the Company as of the date immediately before the closing of the New Financing. The terms of the Holder's pre-emptive rights shall be more fully set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company; provided, however, such Holder hereunder shall have no more favorable rights than those granted to other holders of the Company's Series B Preferred.
