Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Subscription Agreement with Anders Halldin.

 

On December 26, 2014, Vaccinogen, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, or “our”) entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Anders Halldin, a member of our board of directors, pursuant to which $5,000,000.50 of the funds due pursuant to the “Second Closing” under our binding agreement with The Investment Syndicate, as amended (the “TIS Agreement”) were deposited with the Company. The TIS Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are further described in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 28, 2014 and August 25, 2014.

 

Under the Subscription Agreement, we agreed to issue 909,091 units at $5.50 per unit, for a total of $5,000,000.50, to Mr. Halldin in accordance with Regulation S and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant, exercisable for five years, to purchase three tenths (0.3) of a share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.05 per whole share. Each unit contains anti-dilution rights providing for the issuance of additional adjustment shares, as described in the Subscription Agreement. As a result, we issued a total of 934,580 shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 272,727 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”) at an exercise price of $6.05 per share.

 

These descriptions of the Subscription Agreement and the Warrant do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the agreements, each of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) and incorporated herein by reference.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

(For Non U.S. Subscribers)

 

VACCINOGEN, INC.

 

Right to Purchase __________ Shares of Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received_______________ or its registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from Vaccinogen, Inc., a Maryland corporation whose shares of Common Stock (defined below) (the “Company”), at any time or from time to time during the period specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, _______________ (________) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price per whole share equal to $6.05 (the “Exercise Price”). The term “Warrant Shares,” as used herein, refers to the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 4 hereof. The term “Warrants” means this Warrant and the other warrants issued pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement and described in that certain Amended and Restated Confidential Private Placement Memorandum Supplement, dated January 29, 2014, as supplemented by Supplement No. 1 dated April 7, 2014 and further supplemented by Supplement No. 2 dated August 20, 2014 (the “Memorandum”), by and among the Company and the Buyers listed on the execution pages thereto. The Memorandum describes a private placement (the Offering”) of up to $30,800,000 of units consisting of Common Stock and Warrants.

 

This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions, and conditions:

 

1.          Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.

 

(a)         Exercise of Warrants.         Subject to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Agreement”), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), and (i) upon payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election to effect a “Cashless Exercise” (as defined in paragraph (b) below) for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered, and payment shall have been made for such shares as set forth above. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such other name as shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.

 

 
 

 

(b)        Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the current Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), this Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal executive offices with a written notice of the holder’s intention to effect a cashless exercise, including a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock (as determined below) to be issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms hereof (a “Cashless Exercise”). In the event of a Cashless Exercise, in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash, the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X=Y (A-B)
A  

 

Where  X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder
         
   Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
         
   A = the Market Price of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
         
    B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

 

(c)        Maximum Exercise.  Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in no event shall the holder of this Warrant be entitled to exercise a number of Warrants (or portions thereof) in excess of the number of Warrants (or portions thereof) upon exercise of which the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised Warrants and 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 and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (or portions thereof) with respect to which the determination described herein is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (i) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the limitation on exercise of this Warrant set forth herein may not be amended without the written consent of the holder hereof and the Company.

 

2
 

 

2.          Period of Exercise.. This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from time to time on or after the date on which this Warrant is issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement and before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Exercise Period”).

 

3.          Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(a)          Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

 

(b)          Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(c)          Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(d)          Successors and Assigns. This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation, or acquisition of all or substantially all the Company’s assets.

 

4.          Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Paragraph 4. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up to the nearest cent.

 

3
 

 

(a)          Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 4(c) and 4(e) hereof, if and whenever on or after the date of issuance of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Paragraph 4(b) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the then effective Exercise Price on the date of issuance (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price will be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is an amount equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, plus (y) the quotient of the aggregate consideration, calculated as set forth in Paragraph 4(b) hereof, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance divided by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined below) immediately after the Dilutive Issuance.

 

(b)          Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Paragraph 4(a) hereof, the following will be applicable:

 

(1)         Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the then effective Exercise Price on the date of issuance or grant of such Options, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

 

(2)         Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the then effective Exercise Price on the date of issuance, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

4
 

 

(3)         Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If there is a change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.

 

(4)         Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.

 

(5)         Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be the amount received by the Company therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any acquisition, merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

5
 

 

(6)         Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities granted, issued and outstanding on the date of issuance of this Warrant; (ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee benefit plan, stock option plan or restricted stock plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee established for such purpose; (iii) the Company issues or distributes shares of its Common Stock or Convertible Securities in connection with (A) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity; (B) strategic license or joint venture agreements, the entering into or acquiring of material contracts in connection with the Company’s business as currently being conducted, and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuance are not for the purpose of raising capital and are not issued for services, or (C) those certain Investment Agreements dated as of July 18, 2012 with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC; (iv) upon the issuance of Adjustment Shares (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) or (v) upon the exercise of the Warrants.

 

(c)          Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

 

(d)          Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the holder of this Warrant will have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken place. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Paragraph 4 hereof will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes by written instrument the obligations under this Paragraph 4 and the obligations to deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to acquire.

 

(e)          Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (including cash) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise, then, after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such distribution, but prior to the date of distribution, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the holder had such holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution.

 

6
 

 

(f)          Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the Company shall give notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

 

(g)          Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Exercise Price.

 

(h)          No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of such exercise.

 

(i)          Other Notices. In case at any time:

 

(1)         the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution (including dividends or distributions payable in cash out of retained earnings) to the holders of the Common Stock;

 

(2)         the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;

 

(3)         there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, or sale of all or substantially all its assets to, another corporation or entity; or

 

(4)         there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

 

then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the holder of this Warrant (a) notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock or other securities or property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least 30 days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company’s books are closed in respect thereto. Failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

 

7
 

 

(j)          Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment provisions of this Paragraph 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, the Company will give notice of such event as provided in Paragraph 4(g) hereof, and the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant so that the rights of the holder shall be neither enhanced nor diminished by such event.

 

(k)          Certain Definitions.

 

(1)         Common Stock Deemed Outstanding shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding (not including shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company), plus (x) pursuant to Paragraph 4(b)(1) hereof, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Options, as of the date of such issuance or grant of such Options, if any, and (y) pursuant to Paragraph 4(b)(2) hereof, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, as of the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, if any.

 

(2)         Market Price,” as of any date, (i) means the average of the last reported sale prices for the shares of Common Stock on the OTCBB for the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding such date as reported by Bloomberg, or (ii) if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for the shares of Common Stock, the average of the last reported sale prices on the principal trading market for the Common Stock during the same period as reported by Bloomberg, or (iii) if market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Market Price shall be the fair market value as reasonably determined in good faith by (a) the Board of Directors of the Company or, at the option of a majority-in-interest of the holders of the outstanding Warrants by (b) an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing in the valuation of businesses similar to the business of the corporation. The manner of determining the Market Price of the Common Stock set forth in the foregoing definition shall apply with respect to any other security in respect of which a determination as to market value must be made hereunder.

 

(3)         Common Stock,” for purposes of this Paragraph 4, includes the Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, and any additional class of stock of the Company having no preference as to dividends or distributions on liquidation, provided that the shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall include only shares of Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, in respect of which this Warrant is exercisable, or shares resulting from any subdivision or combination of such Common Stock, or in the case of any reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale of the character referred to in Paragraph 4(e) hereof, the stock or other securities or property provided for in such Paragraph.

 

8
 

 

5.          Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder of this Warrant 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 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 of this Warrant.

 

6.          No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the holder hereof to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

7.          Transfer, Exchange, and Replacement of Warrant.

(c)          If, in connection with the underwritten public offering by the Company the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the securities proposed to be sold by the Buyer; and (ii) second, the common stock requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holder of this Warrant and the other selling stockholders based on the ratio of the number of shares of common stock that each such selling stockholder has requested that the Company include in such registration over the total number of shares of common stock requested to be included in such registration.

 

11
 

 

(d)          The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Warrant, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the holder, its affiliates and its agents against any and all losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement, any prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to 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 any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such holder or such holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such holder expressly for use in the registration statement, such prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. The Company shall notify the holder promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any losses shall be deemed to include, any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

(e)          The Company shall pay any and all registration expenses associated with the registration of the Registrable Securities and shall employ procedures that are customary in order to effectuate the registration of the Registrable Securities, including providing the holder with reasonable notice of comment letters and the status of a registration statement.

(b)           a warrant (collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase, at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the Warrant (subject to mandatory exercise), 0.3 shares of Common Stock at the exercise price of $6.05 per whole share of Common Stock (the “Warrant Exercise Price”). The shares of Common Stock underlying each Warrant are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares.”

 

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Company’s Amended and Restated Private Placement Memorandum Supplement, dated January 29, 2014, as supplemented by Supplement No. 1 dated April 7, 2014 as supplemented by Supplement No. 2 dated August 20, 2014 (as amended or supplemented, and together with all documents and exhibits thereto, the “Memorandum”). The Units, the Shares, the Adjustment Shares (as defined in Section 1(d) below), the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “Securities.”

 

In connection with this subscription, Subscriber and the Company agree as follows:

 

1.           Purchase and Sale of the Units; Issuance of Adjustment Shares.

 

(a)           The Company hereby agrees to issue and to sell to Subscriber, and Subscriber hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, a number of Units at a price equal to $5.50 per Unit (the “Unit Price”) and for the aggregate subscription amount set forth on the signature page hereto. The form of Warrant is as annexed to the Memorandum. Upon acceptance of this Subscription Agreement by the Company, the Company shall issue and deliver to Subscriber a share certificate and a warrant certificate evidencing the applicable number of Shares and Warrants subscribed for against payment in U.S. Dollars of the Purchase Price (as defined below).

 

(b)           Subscriber has hereby delivered and paid concurrently herewith the aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) set forth on the signature page hereof required to purchase the Units subscribed for hereunder which amount has been paid in U.S. Dollars by cash, wire transfer or check, subject to collection, to the order of “Vaccinogen, Inc.”

(d)           The Company will also issue to each Subscriber, for no additional consideration, such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between (1) the number of shares of our Common Stock that would have been issued to purchaser if the per-Unit purchase price for such shares had been equal to $5.35 (the Market Price on October 31, 2013, the effective date of our first S-1 registration statement) and (2) the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable to (y) the number of Shares issuable to Subscriber upon the closing of sale of Units to Subscriber pursuant to Section 1(a) above (the “Adjustment Shares”).
