Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Commitment Letter

On June 11, 2024, Scilex Holding Company (the “Company”) entered into that certain Commitment Side Letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with FSF 33433 LLC (“Lender”), pursuant to which Lender committed to provide the Company a loan (the “Loan”) in the aggregate principal amount of $100 million (the “Commitment Amount”), subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter and to the terms to be agreed in the definitive documents to be entered into by the Company and Lender.

The Commitment Amount shall be payable as follows: (i) $85 million no later than the date that is 70 days following the date on which the Company receives the Deposit (as defined below) (the “Outside Date” and the funding of the initial $85 million, the “Initial Closing”) and (ii) the remaining $15 million within 60 days following the Initial Closing (the funding of the second $15 million, the “Second Closing”).

Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, Lender is required to provide the Company a non-refundable deposit in immediately available funds in the aggregate principal amount of $10 million (the “Deposit” and the date on which such funds are fully received, the “Deposit Date”), which amount will be creditable towards the $85 million required to be funded by Lender at the Initial Closing. On the Deposit Date, the Company will issue to Lender a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction) (the “Deposit Warrant”), with an exercise price of $1.20 per share (the “Warrant Exercise Price”). The Deposit Warrant will expire five years from the date of issuance. If the Initial Closing does not occur on or prior to the Outside Date, the Deposit shall automatically convert into an unsecured loan on the first day after the Outside Date. Within five days after such automatic conversion occurs, the Company shall issue a promissory note (the “Unsecured Promissory Note”) to Lender to evidence such unsecured loan, which Note shall be unsecured, have a maturity date of five years after the date of the Unsecured Promissory Note and be prepayable without premium or penalty. The Unsecured Promissory Note shall bear interest, payable quarterly in arrears, in an amount equal to the Unsecured Applicable Interest Amount (as defined in the Commitment Letter) for such period based on the actual number of days elapsed while principal is outstanding.

It is contemplated by the Commitment Letter that the Company and Lender will enter into definitive documents with respect to the Loan on terms to be mutually agreed in good faith. If such definitive documents are entered into on or before the Outside Date, the Company agreed to issue to Lender (i) at the Initial Closing, a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 24,375,000 shares (subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction) of Common Stock (the “Initial Closing Warrant”), and (ii) at the Second Closing, a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,875,000 shares (subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction) of Common Stock (the “Second Closing Warrant” and together with the Initial Closing Warrant and the Deposit Warrant, the “Warrants”), each to have an exercise price equal to the Warrant Exercise Price. The Initial Closing Warrant and the Second Closing Warrant will expire five years from the date of issuance. To evidence the Loan, the Company agreed to issue to Lender a Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “Secured Promissory Note”), which shall have a maturity date of five years after the date of issuance. The Secured Promissory Note shall bear interest, payable quarterly in arrears, in an amount equal to the Secured Applicable Interest Amount (as defined in the Commitment Letter) for such period, based on the actual number of days elapsed, while principal is outstanding, subject to certain conditions.

The foregoing summary of the Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Commitment Letter, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

The Warrants

Once issued, the Deposit Warrant will be immediately exerciseable and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance.

The exercise price of Deposit Warrant will be $1.20 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Deposit Warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or similar transaction, as described in the Deposit Warrant; provided that there shall not be any adjustment to the exercise price of the Warrant in the event the Company combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its Common Stock into a smaller number of shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Warrant, the Company will agree to prepare and file one or more registration statements on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the purpose of registering for resale any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Deposit Warrant. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Company is required to file a registration statement with the SEC within 30 days of the date on which the Deposit Warrant was issued to Lender to register the resale of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Deposit Warrant.

The Company anticipates that the terms and conditions of the Initial Closing Warrant and the Second Closing Warrant will be substantially similar to those of the Deposit Warrant.

The foregoing summary of the Deposit Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, a copy of the form of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information provided in Item 1.01 regarding the Commitment Letter is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

Item 3.02.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information provided in Item 1.01 regarding the Loan, the Unsecured Promissory Note, the Secured Promissory Note and the Warrants is hereby incorporated by reference. The Deposit Warrant will be issued to Lender in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. To the extent the Company issues to Lender (i) the Unsecured Promissory Note, or (ii) (a) the Secured Promissory Note, (b) the Initial Closing Warrant and (c) the Second Closing Warrant, such notes and warrants will also be issued to Lender in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder.

Lender has represented to the Company that it is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Regulation D, and will acquire the Deposit Warrant for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The definitive documents in respect of the Unsecured Promissory Note (if issued), the Loan for the full Commitment Amount, the Secured Promissory Note, the Initial Closing Warrant and the Second Closing Warrant will contain similar representations of Lender.

Except for the registration rights contemplated by the Deposit Warrant, to the extent the Company issues any of the above referenced notes or warrants to Lender, such notes and warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K nor the Commitment Letter is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company.

SCILEX HOLDING COMPANY

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

Warrant No.:

Date of Issuance: [____], 2024 (“Issuance Date”)

Scilex Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, FSF 33433 LLC, the registered holder hereof or its assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after [__], 2024 (the “Vesting Date”), but in any case not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), 3,250,000 (subject to adjustment as provided herein) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (such shares of Common Stock, the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the respective meanings set forth in Section 17. This Warrant is being issued pursuant to that certain Commitment Letter, dated [___], 2024, by and between the Company and the Holder (as amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Commitment Letter”) and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (as defined below), and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. For avoidance of doubt, this Warrant, to the extent not fully exercised by such time, shall be deemed terminated and be of no further force or effect as of 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date.

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(d)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date (an “Exercise Date”), as to all or any portion of the Warrant Shares, by delivery (whether via electronic mail or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day following an exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to (i) the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by (ii) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”), which amount shall be delivered solely in the form of cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant (for the avoidance of doubt, containing the same terms, rights and conditions, as would be contained in a Warrant issued in compliance with Section 7(d)) evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Exercise Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the Exchange Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Warrant Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) and the Company is not otherwise prohibited from delivering the Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon advice of counsel, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST and the Company is otherwise unable to deliver the Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon the advice of counsel, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate (which may be an electronic book entry statement), registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates (or electronic book entry statements) evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be).

 

2


The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

Notwithstanding that the Holder shall not be required to deliver or submit this Warrant in order effectuate an exercise, if the original of this Warrant is submitted in connection with an exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon such exercise and submission of this Warrant to the Company by the Holder, then, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such exercise and submission and at the Company’s own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase a number of Warrant Shares equal to (i) the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less (ii) the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is so exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the assignment form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Assignment Form”) duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $1.20, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be delivered by the Holder to the Company solely in the form of cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(d) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to the exercise set forth on the applicable Exercise Notice, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this

 

3


Section 1(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant may be exercised (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates or Attribution Parties) and which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 1(d) 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 (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and 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 this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Act) immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1(d). Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. If the exercise of the Warrant into Common Stock would otherwise result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Company will only exercise up to that number of shares that would amount to the Holder reaching the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the balance will be held in abeyance by the Company until such shares can be delivered to the Holder without exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

(e) Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this

 

4


Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

2. WARRANT ADJUSTMENTS. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. Without limiting any provision of Section 3 or Section 4, if the Company, at any time on or after the Issuance Date, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock or (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.1Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein or the other Transaction Documents, in no event shall there be any adjustment to the Exercise Price if the Company combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares.

(b) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or the other Transaction Documents, in no event shall there be any adjustment to the Exercise Price if the Company combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares.

(d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock.

3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 or Section 4, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time on or after the Vesting Date, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution at that time to the extent of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

(a) Purchase Rights. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding and in addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 above, if, at any time on or after the Vesting Date,

 

6


the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

(b) Fundamental Transactions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant other than the limitation on exercise prior to the Vesting Date) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction) and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on a Trading Market.

Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall expressly assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this

 

7


Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant other than the limitation on exercise prior to the Vesting Date), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 1(d) hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 4(b) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant other than the limitation on exercise prior to the Vesting Date). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

(c) Application. The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants) were fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant other than the limitation on exercise prior to the Vesting Date (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, applied however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the Exchange Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such other warrant)).

5. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (a) not increase the par value of any

 

8


shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect and (b) take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

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

7. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.

(a) Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned by the Holder with the prior written consent of the Company. If this Warrant is to be transferred, and the Company has provided its written consent to such transfer, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered to the transferee of the Holder (or, if there are multiple transferees, new Warrants to each such transferee) or as the Holder otherwise directs, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

 

9


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

(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant (whether to the Holder or a transferee thereof), such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same terms, rights and conditions as this Warrant.

8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDER. The Holder, for itself and for no other holder, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):

(a) Organizations; Authority. The Holder is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware with full and unrestricted requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by the Holder of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Holder. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Holder, and when delivered by the Holder in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other Laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by Laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable Law.

(b) Own Account. The Holder understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Law (this representation and warranty not limiting the Holder’s right to sell the Securities otherwise in

 

10


compliance with applicable federal and state securities Laws). The Holder is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

(c) Status. At the time the Holder was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any portion of the Warrant it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act.

(d) General Solicitation. The Holder is not, to its knowledge, purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to its knowledge, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

(e) Acknowledgement. The Holder represents to the Company that its decision to enter into this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Holder and its representatives.

(f) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Holder has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Holder, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that the Holder first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Other than to the Holder’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, the Holder has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty against, or a prohibition of, any actions with respect to the borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of, and/or securing of, securities of the Company in order for the Holder (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

9. OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

(a) Transfer Restrictions.

(i) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with applicable state and federal securities Laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), to the Company or to an Affiliate of the Holder, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Warrant applicable to the Securities to be

 

11


transferred thereto and shall have the same rights and obligations as the Holder under this Warrant. The Holder agrees to the imprinting of a legend on any of the Securities substantively in the following form:

[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE/ THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT] BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. [THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNTS SET FORTH ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 1(a) OF THIS WARRANT.]

(ii) If any Warrant is exercised at a time when the Warrant Shares issuable thereunder may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends.

(b) Furnishing of Information; Public Information. Until the earlier of the time that (i) the Holder does not own Securities or (ii) the Warrant has expired, the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

(c) Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission within the time and if required by the Exchange Act. The Company and the Initial Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Holder shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of the Holder, or without the prior consent of the Holder, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by Law (and, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Warrant or the other Transaction Documents shall restrict the parties’ ability to file any public filing that it deems reasonably necessary to comply with

 

12


applicable Laws), in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication; provided that such notice will not be required for information previously disclosed in the SEC Reports or in any press release. Each party is permitted to name the other party in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of the other party.

(d) Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that the Holder is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that the Holder could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Holder.

(e) Reservation and Listing of Warrant Shares.

(i) The Company shall maintain a reserve equal to the aggregate number of Warrant Shares from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

(ii) If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the aggregate number of Warrant Shares subject to outstanding Warrants on such date, then the board of directors of the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the aggregate number of Warrant Shares subject to outstanding Warrants at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th day after such date.

(iii) The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering the Warrant Shares on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Initial Purchaser evidence of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation the Warrant Shares on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

(f) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Holder, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Warrant and ending at such time that the transactions

 

13


contemplated by this Warrant are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release. The Holder covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Warrant are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release, the Initial Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction (other than as disclosed to its legal and other representatives). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Holder makes no representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Warrant are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release, (ii) the Holder shall not be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities Laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Warrant are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release.

(b) The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant (other than the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise in accordance with the terms hereof), including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment(s), (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder, and (iii) at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction.

11. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant (other than Section 1(d)) may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

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

13. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the Company at the address set forth in Section 10(a) and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court therefrom, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction

 

15


contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

14. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant. Terms used in this Warrant but defined in the other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Issuance Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Holder.

15. REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATION, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant. The issuance of shares and certificates for shares as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax (other than income tax) which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder or its agent on its behalf.

(vii) The Company shall advise the Holder of Registrable Securities promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of (A) the issuance of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (B) the issuance by any state securities or other regulatory authority of any order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities under state securities or “blue sky” laws or the initiation or threat of initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, and (C) the removal of any such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement or Proceeding or the lifting of any such suspension.

24


by the Company that the use of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Company, the Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Holder’s possession, of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities in use at the time of receipt of such notice.

(g) Confidentiality. In the event the filing of any Registration Statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement is deferred pursuant to Section 18(e), or the Holder’s ability to trade is suspended pursuant to Section 18(e), by accepting this Warrant and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Holder agrees to treat such information confidentially and to not make public such information.

(i) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder Indemnitee against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) to which he may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and shall reimburse Holder Indemnitees for any actual and documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section 18(j)(i): (A) where the Losses are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder (or its representative) or approved by a the Holder (or its representative) expressly for use therein; (B) where the Losses are caused by the Holder’s failure to deliver a copy of such Registration Statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same

 

26


was required by applicable Law to be so delivered); or (C) where the Losses relate to offers or sales effected by or on behalf of the Holder “by means of” (as defined in Rule 159A under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the Company. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.

This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Holder may otherwise have.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, including with respect to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 1 regarding the delivery of any Warrant Shares to the Holder or the registration obligations of the Company under this Section 18, the Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be permitted, in its sole and absolute discretion, to satisfy such obligations by the delivery of Warrant Shares from any shares of Common Stock that are currently issued and outstanding and held by the Company or any of its Affiliates that have been previously registered for resale under an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act, subject to any applicable transfer restrictions (whether contractual or under any applicable Law) and in compliance with applicable Law, including any requirements to deliver a prospectus supplement or other documentation to give effect to any such transfer by the Company or its Affiliates.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement sets forth the commitment of FSF 33433 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lender”), to provide Scilex Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), a loan (the “Loan”) in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and to terms to be agreed in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below). It is contemplated that, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) to be entered into by and between the Company and Lender on terms to be mutually agreed in good faith, Lender will provide the Loan in exchange for the issuance of certain secured promissory notes and the Initial Closing Warrant and Second Closing Warrant (each as defined below) by the Company. The Company and Lender are referred to in this letter agreement individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

1. Commitment. Lender hereby commits, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Securities Purchase Agreement, to provide the Loan to the Company in immediately available funds in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 (the “Commitment Amount”) payable as follows: (i) $85 million (such amount, the “Initial Funding Amount”) (inclusive of the amount previously funded as the Deposit) no later than the date that is 70 days following the date on which the Company receives the Deposit (as defined below) (the “Outside Date” and the funding of the initial $85 million on or prior to the Outside Date, the “Initial Closing”)), and (ii) the remaining $15 million within 60 days following the Initial Closing (the funding of the second $15 million within 60 days following the Initial Closing, the “Second Closing”). The funds received in connection with the Commitment Amount hereunder shall be evidenced by a Senior Secured Promissory Note (in addition to other Security Agreements), which shall have a maturity date of five (5) years after the date of such note, and shall bear interest, payable quarterly in arrears, in an amount equal to the Secured Applicable Interest Amount for such period (based on the actual number of days elapsed) while principal is outstanding (except that if Lender advances the full $100 million Loan, then the amount set forth in clause (a)(i)(A) of the definition of Secured Applicable Interest Amount shall be payable quarterly for a minimum of two (2) years after the Initial Closing regardless of whether the principal remains outstanding during such period).


In consideration of the terms set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to fund a deposit in the amount of $10,000,000 (the “Deposit”) no later than June 11, 2024 in immediately available funds in accordance with the wire instructions provided by the Company to Lender. Lender agrees that such Deposit shall be non-refundable under any circumstances whatsoever. In the event that the Company and Lender enter into definitive documents for the Loan and the Initial Funding Amount of the Loan is funded in full on or before the Outside Date, the amount of the Deposit shall be credited against the initial $85 million required to be funded by Lender under the Loan at the Initial Closing. Any interest that accrues on the Deposit shall be for the sole and separate account of the Company.

Lender and the Company hereby agree that upon the Company’s receipt of the Deposit, the Company shall issue to Lender a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction), which shall have an exercise price equal to 110% of the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date that is two Trading Days prior to the date on which the Company has received the Deposit (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) (the “Deposit Warrant” and such exercise price, the “Warrant Exercise Price”). Additionally, the Deposit shall automatically convert into an unsecured loan on the first day after the Outside Date should the Initial Closing fail to occur by the Outside Date. Within five (5) days after such automatic conversion occurs, the Company is required to issue a promissory note to the Lender to evidence such unsecured loan, which note shall be unsecured, shall have a maturity date of five (5) years after the date of such note, shall be prepayable without premium or penalty, shall be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any outstanding amounts owed to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Oramed”), pursuant to the debt provided by Oramed to the Company and all other related payment obligations, if any, pursuant to an agreement signed by Lender and Oramed, and shall bear interest, payable quarterly in arrears, in an amount equal to the Unsecured Applicable Interest Amount for such period (based on the actual number of days elapsed) while principal is outstanding. The note shall only include other terms deemed reasonably necessary by each Party. Lender hereby represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and acknowledges and agrees to provide, as a condition to the delivery of the Deposit Warrant, any further representations and warranties or other information as the Company may reasonably request regarding such status and related matters in connection with the issuance of the Deposit Warrant. For purposes of this letter agreement, “Trading Day” means a day on which the principal Trading Market is open for trading and “Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or the New York Stock Exchange (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

In consideration for the commitment by Lender under this letter agreement and subject to the receipt of the Deposit in immediately available funds on the date of this letter agreement, the Company agrees that, if the Company and Lender enter into definitive documents for the Loan on or before the Outside Date, the Company will issue to Lender (i) at the Initial Closing, a warrant

 

2


to purchase up to an aggregate of 24,375,000 shares (subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction) of Common Stock (the “Initial Closing Warrant”), and (ii) at the Second Closing, a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,875,000 shares (subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction) of Common Stock (the “Second Closing Warrant” and together with the Initial Closing Warrant, the “Warrants”). The exercise price of the Warrants shall be the Warrant Exercise Price. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to issue Lender warrants to purchase more than an aggregate of 32,500,000 shares (subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction) of Common Stock.
