A pledge of the Holder Notes in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan financing arrangement that is secured by the Holder Notes shall not be deemed to be a Transfer of the Holder Notes so long as the pledge does not prohibit the Holder’s ability to deliver the Holder Notes at the Closing; provided, further, that any pledgee or other party that becomes the owner of Holder Notes as a result of exercising remedies with respect to such pledge shall have agreed, prior to exercising any such remedies, to and be obligated to comply with this Agreement (as if it were a Holder).
     4.2 Release. From and after the Closing, each Holder agrees that all obligations of the Company arising under or in respect of the Holder Notes will have been satisfied and discharged and irrevocably waived in full.
     4.3 Reporting Status; Listing Obligation. The Common Stock is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The Company covenants only to each Affiliate Holder that during the period in which the registration statement filed pursuant to Article V hereto remains effective, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) with the SEC all reports required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination. Until each Holder Transfers all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on a national stock exchange in the United States.
     4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. As soon as reasonably practicable but not later than one Business Day after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall issue a press release and shall file the Form 8-K with the SEC, in each case announcing the signing of this Agreement, the signing of the agreement relating to the Sale Condition and describing the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and including as an exhibit to the Form 8-K the material transaction documents, in the form required by the Exchange Act.

     4.6 Reservation of Shares. So long as any Holder owns any Warrants, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable as Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants).
     4.7 Pledge of Securities. The Company will not object if the Securities are pledged by a Holder in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a Transfer of the Securities hereunder or under the Warrants, and no Holder effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2(i) hereof; provided, that, a Holder and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Section 2(i) hereof in order to effect a Transfer of the Securities to such pledgee.

The Company agrees not to take a position contrary to that set forth in the preceding sentence. Subject to Section 2(i) hereof and a Holder delivering to the Company the Certificate at any time reasonably requested by the Company, the Company agrees to take all commercially reasonable actions, including, without limitation, the issuance by its legal counsel (which may be its internal counsel) of any legal opinions, necessary (i) to cause the Company’s transfer agent to issue to such Holder certificates evidencing the Shares and the Warrants held thereby that are free of any restrictive legends (including those set forth in Section 2(i)(iii)) and to instruct the Company’s transfer agent for its Common Stock not to issue any stop-order with respect to the Transfer of the Shares and Warrants held by such Holder and (ii) upon any “cashless exercise” of the Warrants pursuant to Section 2.3 thereof, to cause the Company’s transfer agent to issue to such Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares acquired in connection with such cashless exercise that are free of any restrictive legends (including those set forth in Section 2(i)(iii)) and to instruct the Company’s transfer agent for its Common Stock not to issue any stop-order with respect to the Transfer of the Warrant Shares acquired in connection with such “cashless exercise”.
     4.9 Conditions to Closing. The parties hereto will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied and the Closing to occur as expeditiously as possible; provided, that nothing contained herein shall obligate the Company to fulfill the Sale Condition, to consummate the Senior Debt Satisfaction or obtain the Stockholder Approval.
     4.10 Preemptive Rights. If, during the period commencing on the day after the Closing Date and ending forty-five (45) days after the date that the Company publicly announces the results of the Phase III clinical trial currently being conducted by the Company with respect to its vaginal gel product, Prochieve 8%, to reduce the risk of preterm birth in women with a short cervix as measured by transvaginal ultrasound in mid-pregnancy results, the Company issues (other than in an Exempt Issuance) any shares of Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than $2.00 per share of Common Stock or securities that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock for a total purchase price (which shall include the purchase price paid for each such security plus the conversion or exercise price payable thereunder to acquire a share of Common Stock) that is less than $2.00 per share of Common Stock, on the date of any such issuance, the Company will deliver to each Holder written notice thereof (the “Sale Offer”). During the ten (10) day period following delivery of the Sale Offer, each Holder shall have the right, exercisable by delivering written notice to the Company (the “Exercise Notice”), to sell to the Company all or any number of the Warrants held by such Holder (as specified in such Exercise Notice) for an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of Warrants such Holder elects to sell to the Company as specified by such Holder in the Exercise Notice and the denominator of which is equal to 7,750,000 and (b) $3,999,996 (the “Warrant Price”). Such Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by the certificate representing the Warrants to be sold by such Holder, duly endorsed for transfer (and the number of Warrants such Holder sells to the Company under this Section 4.10 shall be cancelled and not exercisable). If a Holder does not deliver an Exercise Notice to the Company during such ten (10) day period, the Sale Offer for such Holder shall expire and such Holder shall have no further rights with respect thereto. If a Holder elects pursuant to an Exercise Notice to have the Company purchase Warrants from such Holder, the Company shall pay the Warrant Price in cash to such Holder within twenty (20) days after the Company receives the Exercise Notice to such account as shall be specified in writing by such Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to purchase any Warrants under this Section 4.10 to the extent such purchase would violate the Delaware General Corporation Law or the board of directors of the Company reasonably determines, after receiving advice from counsel, that it could have liability in connection therewith under the Delaware General Corporation Law. “Exempt Issuance” shall mean any or all of the following (a) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion or exercise of any options, warrants, preferred stock or other convertible securities of the Company that are outstanding on the date hereof and/or on the Closing Date, (b) the issuance of any (x) options, warrants, other convertible securities or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock (and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto) or (y) shares of Common Stock, in each case, pursuant to any of the Company’s compensatory or stock option plans or programs or as compensation to any officer, director, consultant, agent, advisor or employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, (c) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in connection with the transactions described in Section 1.5(a), (d) the issuance of shares of Common Stock and warrants under the Note Purchase and Amendment Agreements (and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock under such warrants), the issuance of any securities pursuant to the Rights Plan (and the issuance of any securities underlying such securities) and (f) the issuance of any warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock thereunder) pursuant to any agreement that the Company is a party to as of the date hereof.
     4.11 Ownership Cap. Each Holder agrees that from the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and/or the Closing (and after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) that it will not (i) “beneficially own” (as determined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) 19.9% or more of the shares of Common Stock and/or (ii) possess 19.9% or more of the voting power of the Company.

     The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing, a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares that are issued or issuable hereunder or under the Warrants to an Affiliate Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Shares issued to and the Warrant Shares issuable under the Warrants to any Holder that is not an Affiliate Holder shall not be covered by such registration statement.

On or after the date hereof, the Company expects to enter into one or more note purchase and amendment agreements on substantially similar terms to this Agreement with (some or all of) the other holders of the Notes (the “Other Purchase Agreements” and together with this Agreement, the “Note Purchase and Amendment Agreements”).

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company has or may enter into side letters with certain Purchasers relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
     7.11 Counterparts; Signatures by Facsimile; Captions. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original, but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument.

The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any effect in the interpretation of this Agreement.

     2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
          2.1 Method of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 2.5), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time during the Exercise Period, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant to the Company and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 2.3). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Common Stock shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Exercise Shares. On or before the first Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the third Business Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Exercise Shares 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 Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Exercise Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement or the Company places (or cauces to be placed) a restrictive legend thereon in accordance with Section 4.3(b) hereof. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Exercise Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Exercise Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Exercise Shares as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 2.1 and the number of Exercise Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Exercise Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 2.4) representing the right to purchase the number of Exercise Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Exercise 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.

Fractional shares shall be treated as provided in Section 6. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Exercise Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
          2.2 Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If within three Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Exercise Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such Exercise Shares on the Company’s share register or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Exercise Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s exercise hereunder or if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder the certificate or certificates representing the applicable Exercise Shares (or credit the Holder’s balance account at DTC with the applicable Exercise Shares) within three Trading Days after its obligation to do so under clause (ii) below and if on or after such Trading Day 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 Exercise Shares issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three 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, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Exercise Shares) or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Exercise Shares or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC 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 Exercise Shares, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.
          2.3 Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if, at any time during the Exercise Period, the Current Market Price (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise and the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Exercise Shares computed using the following formula:
         
 
  X =   Y (B-A)
 
            B
 
       
Where:
  X =   the number of Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder.
 
       
 
  Y =   the number of Exercise Shares purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.
     A = the Exercise Price.
     B = the Current Market Price of one share of Common Stock.
     “Current Market Price” means on any particular date:

A-4


 

          (a) if the Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or their successors), the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock of the Company on such market over the five trading days ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation;
          (b) if the Common Stock is traded on any registered national stock exchange but is not traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or their successors), the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock of the Company on such exchange over the five trading days ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation;
          (c) if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, but not on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or a registered national stock exchange, the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation; and
          (d) if there is no active public market for the Common Stock, the value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company upon due consideration of the proposed determination thereof by the Holder.
          2.4 Partial Exercise. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver, within 10 days of the date of exercise, a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder, or, subject to Section 8, such other person as shall be designated in the Notice of Exercise, to purchase the balance of the Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder. In no event shall this Warrant be exercised for a fractional Exercise Share, and the Company shall not distribute a Warrant exercisable for a fractional Exercise Share. Fractional shares shall be treated as provided in Section 6.
          2.5 Limitations on Exercise.
          (a) The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange

A-5


 

Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within one Business Day confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the NPA Warrants, by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
          (b) The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise, redemption or conversion, as applicable, of the NPA Warrants or otherwise without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the applicable 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 applicable 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 Holders. Unless and until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon exercise or conversion, as applicable, of any NPA Warrants, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock underlying the NPA Warrants issued to such Holder pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements on the Issuance Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying the NPA Warrants issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements on the Issuance Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s NPA Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any Holder of NPA Warrants shall exercise all of such Holder’s NPA Warrants into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such Holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of NPA Warrants on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the NPA Warrants then held by each such holder. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing any Warrant Shares for which an Exercise Notice has been received as a result of the operation of this Section 2.5(b), the Company shall pay cash in exchange for cancellation of such Warrant Shares, at a price per Warrant Share equal to the difference between the Closing Sale Price and the Exercise Price as of the date of the attempted exercise.
          2.6 Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the 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 Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the

A-6


 

Warrants then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”) (such event 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 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 90 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.
     3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
          3.1 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities as provided herein) to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
          3.2 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten days prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.
     4. REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.
          4.1 Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Exercise Shares solely for its account for investment and not with a present view toward the public sale or distribution of said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any part thereof and has no present intention of selling or distributing said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the sale or distribution of said Warrant or, except in accordance with the provisions of Article V of the Note Purchase Agreement, if applicable, the Exercise Shares, and except as would not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Holder will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Warrant except in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to

A-7


 

buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Exercise Shares except in accordance with the provisions of Article V of the Note Purchase Agreement, if applicable, or pursuant to and in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
          4.2 Securities Are Not Registered.
          (a) The Holder understands that the offer and sale of the Warrant or the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the securities of the Company is to be effected and/or pursuant to specific exemptions from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which exemptions depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. The Holder realizes that the basis for such exemptions may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the Warrants and/or the Exercise Shares for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Warrants and/or the Exercise Shares. The Holder represents and warrants that it has no such present intention.
          (b) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or, except as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement, if applicable, the Exercise Shares, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.
          4.3 Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.
          (a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:
          (i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement;
          (ii) Solely with respect to the Warrant, the Holder shall have furnished to the Company the Certificate, after which the Holder may dispose of such Warrant in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
          (iii) Solely with respect to the Exercise Shares that the Holder acquires pursuant to the “cashless exercise” provisions of Section 2.3 hereof, and only if the Holder shall have furnished to the Company the Certificate at the time of such “cashless exercise”, the Holder may dispose of such Exercise Shares in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; or
          (iv) If reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any applicable state securities laws; provided, that no opinion shall be required for any disposition made or to be made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
          (b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder may bear a legend in substantially the following form (except such legend will not be placed on Exercise Shares acquired under the Warrant pursuant to a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2.3 if immediately prior to such “cashless exercise” the Holder provides the Certificate to the Company):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER

A-8


 

APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. COLUMBIA LABORATORIES, INC. SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO COLUMBIA LABORATORIES, INC. THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO THE EXTENT THAT AN OPINION IS REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE AGREEMENT UNDER WHICH THE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED.
     5. ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, consolidation or merger effected by the Company, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class and kind of shares or other property, including cash, as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Exercise Price and/or number, class and kind of shares subject to this Warrant. The Company shall promptly provide a certificate from its Chief Financial Officer notifying the Holder in writing of any adjustment in the Exercise Price and/or the total number, class and kind of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, which certificate shall specify the Exercise Price and number, class and kind of shares under this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, if necessary to effectuate the provisions of this paragraph 5, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in a reorganization, consolidation or merger effected by the Company shall deliver to the Holder confirmation (or a new warrant to the effect) that such successor or surviving entity shall have all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such successor or surviving entity had been named as the Company herein, and that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant (or a new warrant) at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such transaction, the total number, class and kind of shares or other property, including cash, as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to such transaction and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after such transaction.
     6. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise of this Warrant by such fraction.
     7. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

A-9


 

     8. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws and compliance with Section 4.3, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder.
          8.1 Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new Warrant issued.
          8.2 If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, (i) the transfer of this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, and (ii) the Holder has not furnished to the Company the Certificate at such time, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (A) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, and (B) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company; provided, in any case that the transferee shall be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or (a)(8) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
     9. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
     10. MODIFICATIONS AND WAIVER. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and (i) Purchasers holding Warrants representing at least a majority of the number of Exercise Shares then issuable upon exercise of any then unexercised Warrants issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements, provided, however, that such modification, amendment or waiver is made with respect to all unexercised Warrants issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements and does not adversely affect the Holder without adversely affecting all holders of Warrants in a similar manner; or (ii) the Holder.
     11. NOTICES, ETC. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed email, telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one business day after deposit

A-10


 

with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at the address listed on the signature page and to the Holders at the addresses on the Company records, or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other party hereto.
     12. ACCEPTANCE. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
     13. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.
     14. DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. The language in this Warrant shall be construed as to its fair meaning without regard to which party drafted this Warrant.
     15. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Warrant in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, or affect any other provision of this Warrant, which shall remain in full force and effect.
     16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Warrant constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter contained in it and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and undertakings of the parties, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter.
     17. REMEDIES, 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 Note Purchase Agreements, 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 right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. 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.

Exhibit B
FORM OF AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO
CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTE
     This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to each of Columbia Laboratories, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Convertible Subordinated Notes due December 31, 2011 (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), is made as of March 3, 2010. Except as otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Notes. For purposes hereof, the “Note Purchase Agreements” shall mean the Note Purchase and Amendment Agreements, dated on or after March 3, 2010, each by and among the Company and certain other persons relating to the Notes.
     1. The definition of Fundamental Transaction is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“‘Fundamental Transaction’ means that (A) the Company shall, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions, (i) consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation) another Person or Persons, or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company to another Person, or (iii) allow another Person to make a purchase, tender or exchange offer that is accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock (not including any shares of Voting Stock held by the Person or Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the Persons making or party to, such purchase, tender or exchange offer), or (iv) consummate a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock (not including any shares of Voting Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), or (v) reorganize, recapitalize or reclassify its Common Stock, or (B) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Voting Stock of the Company, excluding, in each case of clauses (A)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and/or (v) and/or (B) of this definition a Permitted Transaction. A “Permitted Transaction” shall mean, the transaction (or series of related transactions) publicly announced by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or prior to the date that is one Business Day after the date of Amendment No. 1 to the Notes (the “Form 8-K”), which transaction includes the license, sale, transfer or other disposition of rights or assets of the Company related to, and/or the co-development, co-promotion, co-marketing, distribution or other collaboration with respect to, one or more of the Company’s products with (and possibly a sale of Company capital stock), pursuant to which the Company (is to, or) receives proceeds of at least $40 million in cash consideration at the initial closing thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, a “Permitted Transaction” shall not include any transaction (or series of related transactions) (x) that is not contemplated by the Form 8-K and (y) the initial closing of which does not occur contemporaneously with the closings under the Note

B-1


 

Purchase and Amendment Agreements, each dated on or after March 3, 2010, each by and among the Company and certain holders of the Notes. “Business Day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.”
