ENZON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared from the books and records of Enzon, Inc. and subsidiaries in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year.
(2) NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share is based on net loss for the relevant period,
adjusted for cumulative undeclared Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock ("Series A Preferred Shares") dividends of $164,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and $55,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, divided by the weighted average number of shares issued and
outstanding during the period. Stock options, warrants and common stock
issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock are not reflected as their
effect would be antidilutive for both primary and fully diluted earnings per
share computations. The total number of shares issued to former shareholders
of Enzon Labs Inc. (formerly known as Genex Corporation), which was acquired on
October 31, 1991, have been included in the weighted average number of
outstanding shares, as if all shares had been issued on October 31, 1991, the
date of acquisition.
(3) INVENTORIES
The composition of inventories at March 31, 1996 and June 30, 1995 is as
follows:
March 31, June 30,
1996 1995
Raw materials $438,000 $398,000
Work in process 319,000 134,000
Finished goods 195,000 260,000
$952,000 $792,000
(4) CASH FLOW INFORMATION
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash payments for
interest were approximately $13,000 and $2,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. There were no income tax payments made for
the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.
As part of the commission due to the real estate broker in connection
with the termination of the Company's lease at 40 Kingsbridge Road, the Company
issued 150,000 five-year warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock at
$2.50 per share during the nine months ended March 31, 1996. Also, in
connection with the Company's private placements of Common Stock, Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Shares"), and Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Shares"), the Company issued
an aggregate of 50,000 five-year warrants to purchase the Company's Common
Stock at $4.11 per share, as a finder's fee, during the nine months ended March
31, 1996. These transactions are non-cash financing activities.

(5) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
In January 1996, the Company completed a private placement of 1,094,890
shares of Common Stock and 40,000 Series B Preferred Shares resulting in gross
proceeds of $7,000,000. In March 1996, the Company completed a private
placement of 266,667 shares of Common Stock and 20,000 Series C Preferred
Shares resulting in gross proceeds of $3,000,000. The two private placements
resulted in net cash proceeds of approximately $9,444,000 after payment of
related expenses and a finder's fee.
In connection with the January 1996 and March 1996 private placements the
Company also issued five-year warrants to purchase 638,686 shares of Common
Stock at $4.11 per share and 200,000 shares of Common Stock at $5.63 per share,
respectively.
The Series B Preferred Shares and the Series C Preferred Shares are
convertible commencing 70 days after their respective dates of issuance and the
stated value of each Series B Preferred Share and Series C Preferred Share is
$100. The conversion price for the Series B Preferred Shares and the Series C
Preferred Shares is equal to 80% of the average of the closing bid price of the
Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days ("the Average Market Price")
ending one trading day prior to the date of conversion as reported by the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation National Market
System ("NASDAQ-NMS"). The Series B Preferred Shares and the Series C
Preferred Shares will not pay a dividend. In connection with the January 1996
and March 1996 private placements, the Company agreed to register and has filed
a registration statement for the Common Stock issued, the shares of Common
Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Shares, the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Series C Preferred Shares, the shares of Common Stock underlying
the warrants and certain shares of Common Stock issuable in the event the
Company does not comply with certain of its obligations under the registration
rights agreements.
In connection with the private placements, the Company paid a finder's
fee in cash and issued five-year warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Common
Stock at $4.11 per share.
(6) NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN
During the nine months ended March 31, 1996, the Company issued 560,000
stock options at an average exercise price of $3.42 under the Company's Non-
Qualified Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), of which 180,000 were
granted to executive officers of the Company. None of the options granted
during the period are exercisable as of March 31, 1996. All options were
granted with exercise prices that equalled or exceeded the fair market value of
the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant.
On December 5, 1995, the stockholders voted to amend the Plan to increase
the number of shares reserved for issuance to 6,200,000.

(Unaudited)
(7) RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE
During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company recorded a
restructuring charge related to a workforce reduction and the termination of
one of its facility leases. As of June 30, 1995, approximately $758,000 of the
restructuring charge was unpaid and recorded in accrued expenses in the
Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. During the nine months ended March 31,
1996, the Company paid the remaining $758,000, the majority of which
represented fees due the Company's real estate broker in connection with the
termination of the lease.
(8) OTHER INCOME
During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company recognized as
other income approximately $1,313,000, representing the unused portion of an
advance received under a development and license agreement with Sanofi
Winthrop, Inc. ("Sanofi"). During October 1995, the Company learned that
Sanofi intended to cease development of PEG-SOD (Dismutec) due to
the product's failure to show a statistically significant difference between
the treatment group and the control group in a pivotal Phase III trial. Due,
in part, to this product failure, the Company believes it has no further
obligations under its agreement with Sanofi with respect to the $1,313,000
advance and therefore, the Company has reversed the amount due Sanofi
previously recorded as a current liability.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
REVENUES. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased by 43%
to $2,735,000 as compared to $4,814,000 for the same period in 1995. The
components of revenues are sales, which consist of sales of the Company's
products and royalties on the sale of such products by others, and contract
revenues. Sales decreased by 30% to $2,730,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to $3,912,000 for the same period in the prior year.
The decrease was principally due to shipments of PEG-INTRON A to the Company's
collaborative partner, Schering Corporation ("Schering") recorded during the
three months ended March 31, 1995 in the amount of approximately $755,000 for
which there were no such shipments recorded during the three months ended March
31, 1996, and a reduction, due to the timing of shipments, in revenues recorded
related to the Company's supply agreement for ONCASPAR with its
marketing partner, Rhone-Poulenc Rorer Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("RPR"). During
June 1995, the Company amended its agreement with Schering and agreed to
transfer the know-how and manufacturing rights for PEG-INTRON A to Schering.
It is anticipated that Schering will manufacture all future clinical trial
material. Enzon has the option to manufacture PEG-INTRON A for the U.S. market
upon Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval, should it occur. These
decreases were offset in part by increased ADAGEN sales of
approximately $69,000 and an increase in the royalties received from RPR for
ONCASPAR sales pursuant to the Company's marketing rights license related to
sales of ONCASPAR. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased
as compared to the previous quarter ended December 31, 1995 by $188,000 or 7%,
due to increased sales of ADAGEN. The Company expects revenues of ADAGEN to
increase at comparable rates as those achieved during the last two years as
additional patients are treated. The Company also anticipates moderate growth
of ONCASPAR sales to RPR and increased royalties on RPR sales of ONCASPAR.
Currently RPR is conducting clinical trials to expand the use of ONCASPAR
beyond its current FDA approved indication which could also result in
additional revenues from this product. The Company is also pursuing licensing
agreements for the sale of ONCASPAR outside of North America. The foregoing
statements regarding future sales levels of ADAGEN and ONCASPAR are forward-
looking in nature. Actual results could differ significantly based on various
factors, including, but not limited to, in the case of ADAGEN, the rate of
expansion of patients, in the case of ONCASPAR, RPR's ability to expand FDA
approved indications and the Company's ability to consummate licensing
agreements for the sale of ONCASPAR outside of North America, and in the case
of each product, the FDA's approval of a competing product or the products'
becoming obsolete based on the development of new technology. There can be no
assurance that any particular sales levels of ONCASPAR or ADAGEN can be
achieved or maintained. ADAGEN sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996
and 1995 were $2,217,000 and $2,148,000, respectively. Contract revenue for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased by $896,000, as compared to the
same period in 1995. The decrease was principally due to a one-time payment
received in the prior year from RPR under the Company's exclusive marketing
rights license with RPR for ONCASPAR. During the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, the Company had export sales of $419,000 and $572,000,
respectively. Sales in Europe were $356,000 and $519,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, increased to 33% for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 21% for the same period in
1995. The increase was due primarily to an increase in the charge recorded for
idle capacity at the Company's manufacturing facility for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. The increase in idle capacity was a result of the
Company not producing clinical supplies of PEG-INTRON A as was the case in the
prior year. During the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company
utilized approximately 29% and 76%, respectively, of its manufacturing capacity
for the production of its products.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 increased by 18% to $2,470,000 from $2,097,000 for
the same period in 1995. This increase was due to increased facility cost,
which was caused by a one-time rent credit received in the prior year from one
of the Company's landlords of approximately $680,000. This increase was offset
in part by reductions in personnel, principally in the clinical and research
administration areas, and related costs, such as payroll taxes and benefits
totalling approximately $185,000 and other cost containment measures taken by
the Company.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 remained flat
at $1,536,000 as compared to $1,537,000 for the same period in 1995.
RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE. During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company
recorded a restructuring expense related to a reduction in its workforce and
the termination of a long-term facility lease.
OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE. Other income/expense remained relatively constant at
$180,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $174,000 for
the same period last year. Interest income for the quarter increased by
approximately $38,000, due to an increase in interest bearing investments as a
result of the proceeds of the Company's private equity placements. This
increase was offset by a decrease in other income.
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995
REVENUES. Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 decreased by 17%
to $8,991,000 as compared to $10,874,000 for the same period in 1995. The
components of revenues are sales, which consist of sales of the Company's
products and royalties on the sale of such products by others, and contract
revenues. Sales increased slightly to $8,081,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to $8,072,000 for the same period in the prior year.
Increased ONCASPAR revenues of approximately $527,000 from RPR and an increase
in ADAGEN sales of approximately $274,000 resulting from an increase in
patients receiving ADAGEN were offset by a reduction in shipments of clinical
supplies of PEG-INTRON A to Schering of approximately $755,000. ADAGEN sales
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were $6,431,000 and
$6,157,000, respectively. Contract revenue for the nine months ended March 31,
1996 decreased by 68% to $910,000, as compared to $2,802,000 for the same
period in 1995. The decrease was principally due to a payment of $1,800,000
recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 1995 from Bristol-Myers Squibb
related to the exercise of its option under an agreement dated September 1993,
to acquire a worldwide non-exclusive license for all therapeutic indications
for the Company's SCA protein technology. During the nine months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had export sales of $1,550,000 and $1,571,000,
respectively. Sales in Europe were $1,339,000 and $1,390,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, increased to 38% for
the nine months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 27% for the same period in
1995. The increase was due primarily to a payment in lieu of satisfying the
minimum purchase requirements under the Company's long-term supply agreement
for a raw material used in the production of ONCASPAR and the write-off of
excess inventories of this raw material, as well as an increase in the charge
recorded for idle capacity at the Company's manufacturing facility for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996. While it is possible that the Company may incur
similar losses on its remaining purchase commitments under the supply
agreement, the Company does not consider such losses probable, nor can the
amount of any loss which may be incurred in the future presently be estimated
due to a number of factors, including but not limited to potential increased
demand for ONCASPAR from RPR, expansion into additional markets outside the
U.S. and the possibility that the Company could renegotiate the level of
required purchases. If the Company does not achieve increases in sales of
ONCASPAR beyond current levels or cannot renegotiate its commitment, a loss
would be incurred on the remaining purchase commitment. The increase in cost
of sales, as a percentage of sales, was offset in part by the elimination of
sales of clinical supplies of PEG-INTRON A, manufactured for Schering during
the nine months ended March 31, 1996, which has a lower margin than the other
products sold by the Company.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 decreased by 15% to $7,551,000 from $8,856,000 for
the same period in 1995. This decrease was primarily due to (i) reductions in
personnel, principally in the clinical and research administration areas, and
related costs, such as payroll taxes and benefits totalling approximately
$915,000 and other cost containment measures taken by the Company.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 decreased by
21% to $4,212,000 from $5,357,000 for the same period in 1995. The decrease
was due to (i) reductions in personnel and related costs, such as payroll taxes
and benefits of approximately $478,000, (ii) a reduction in facility and
occupancy costs of approximately $498,000, and (iii) other cost containment
measures taken by the Company.
RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE. During the nine months ended March 31, 1995, the
Company recorded a restructuring expense related to a reduction in its
workforce and the termination of a long-term facility lease.
OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE. Other income/expense increased by $729,000 to $1,674,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $945,000 for the same
period last year. The increase was due principally to the recognition as other
income of approximately $1,313,000 representing the unused portion of an
advance received under a development and license agreement with Sanofi. During
October 1995, the Company learned that Sanofi intended to cease development of
PEG-SOD (Dismutec) due to the product's failure to show a statistically
significant difference between the treatment group and the control group in a
pivotal Phase III trial. Due, in part, to this product failure, the Company
believes it has no further obligations under its agreement with Sanofi with
respect to the $1,313,000 advance and therefore, the Company has recognized as
other income the amount due Sanofi previously recorded as a current liability.
Other income/expense in the prior year principally consisted of a one-time
insurance payment.
The Company will adopt the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" as of July 1, 1996. This statement is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Enzon had $12,761,000 in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 1996.
The Company invests its excess cash in a portfolio of high-grade marketable
securities and United States government-backed securities.
The Company's cash reserves, as of March 31, 1996, increased by
$4,658,000 from June 30, 1995. The increase in cash reserves reflects
approximately $9,444,000 in net proceeds (after payment of related expenses)
received from the Company's private placement of its Common Stock, Series B
Convertible Preferred Shares ("Series B Preferred Shares") and warrants to
purchase Common Stock in January 1996 and the private placement of its Common
Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Shares ("Series C Preferred Shares") and
warrants to purchase Common Stock in March 1996. This increase was offset in
part by the funding of operations.
The Company's exclusive U.S. marketing rights license with RPR for
ONCASPAR provides for a payment of $3,500,000 in advance royalties which was
received in January 1995. Royalties due under the revised agreement will be
offset against a credit of $5,970,000, which represents the royalty advance
plus reimbursement of certain amounts due RPR under the previous agreement and
interest expense, before cash payments will be made under the agreement. The
royalty advance is shown as a long term liability with the corresponding
current portion included in accrued expenses on the consolidated condensed
balance sheets and will be reduced as royalties are recognized under the
agreement. Through March 31, 1996, an aggregate of $467,000 in royalties
payable by RPR has been offset against the original credit.
As of March 31, 1996, 940,808 shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Shares ("Series A Preferred Shares") had been converted into
3,093,411 shares of Common Stock. Accrued dividends on the converted Series A
Preferred Shares in the aggregate of $1,792,000 were settled by the issuance of
232,383 shares of Common Stock. The Company does not presently intend to pay
cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares. As of March 31, 1996, there
were $1,313,000 of accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred
Shares. These dividends are payable in cash or Common Stock at the Company's
option and accrue on the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares at the rate of
$218,000 per year. As of March 31, 1996, there had been no conversion of the
Series B Preferred Shares or Series C Preferred Shares. Neither the Series B
Preferred Shares nor the Series C Preferred Shares carry stated dividends.
To date, the Company's sources of cash have been the proceeds from the
sale of its stock through public and private placements, sales of ADAGEN, sales
of ONCASPAR, sales of its products for research purposes, contract research and
development fees, technology transfer and license fees and royalty advances.
The Company's current sources of liquidity are its cash, cash equivalents and
interest earned on such cash reserves, sales of ADAGEN, sales of ONCASPAR,
sales of its products for research purposes and license fees. Management
believes that its current sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet its
anticipated cash requirements, based on current spending levels, for
approximately the next two years. The previous statement is forward-looking in
nature. Actual results could differ materially based on various factors,
including, but not limited to, the Company's ability to maintain current sales
levels of its products and current levels of expenses, or the occurrence of any
of a number of unforeseeable contingencies beyond the Company's control.
Upon exhaustion of the Company's current cash reserves, the Company's
continued operations will depend on its ability to realize significant revenues
from the commercial sale of its products, raise additional funds through equity
or debt financing, or obtain significant licensing, technology transfer or
contract research and development fees. There can be no assurance that these
sales, financings or revenue generating activities will be successful.

virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, DOES HEREBY
CERTIFY:
FIRST: That the Board of Directors of said Corporation, at a
meeting of its members, adopted resolutions proposing and declaring advisable
the following amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation of said
Corporation:
(a) RESOLVED, that Article 4 of the Certificate of Incorporation
be amended as set forth below:
"4: The total number of shares of capital stock which
the Corporation shall have authority to issue is sixteen
million (16,000,000) shares, of which fifteen million
(15,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, and one million (1,000,000) shares shall be Preferred
Stock, par value $.01 per share.
The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in
one or more series. The board of Directors of the
Corporation is hereby expressly authorized to provide, by
resolution or resolutions duly adopted by it prior to
issuance, for the creation of each such series and to fix the
designation and the powers, preferences, rights,
qualifications, limitations and restrictions relating to the
shares of each such series. The authority of the Board of
Directors with respect to each series of Preferred Stock
shall include, but not be limited to, determining the
following:
(a) the designation of such series, the number of
shares to constitute such series and the stated value thereof
if different from the par value thereof;
(b) whether the shares of such series shall have
voting rights, in addition to any voting rights provided by
law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights, which may
be general or limited;
(c) the dividends, if any, payable on such series,
whether any such dividends shall be cumulative, and, if so,
from what dates, the conditions and dates upon which such
dividends shall be payable, and the preference or relation
which such dividends shall bear to the dividends payable on
any shares of stock of any other class or any other series of
Preferred Stock;
(d) whether the shares of such series shall be
subject to redemption by the Corporation, and, if so, the
times, prices and other conditions of such redemption;
(e) the amount or amounts payable upon shares of such
series upon, and the rights of the holders of such series in,
the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, or upon any distribution of the assets, of the
Corporation;
(f) whether the shares of such series shall be
subject to the operation of a retirement or sinking fund and,
if so, the extent to and manner in which any such retirement
or sinking fund shall be applied to the purchase or
redemption of the shares of such series for retirement or
other corporation purposes and the terms and provisions
relating to the operation thereof;
(g) whether the shares of such series shall be
convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of stock of any
other class or any other series of Preferred Stock or any
other securities and, if so, the price or prices or the rate
or rates of conversion or exchange and the method, if any, of
adjusting the same, and any other terms and conditions of
conversion or exchange;
(h) the conditions or restrictions, if any, upon the
creation of indebtedness of the Corporation or upon the issue
of any additional stock, including additional shares of such
series or of any other series of Preferred Stock or of any
other class; and
(i) any other powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional and other special rights, and any
qualifications, limitations and restrictions, thereof.
The powers, preferences and relative, participating,
optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred
Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other
series at any time outstanding. All shares of any one series
of Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects with
all other shares of such series, except that shares of any
one series issued at different times may differ as to the
dates from which dividends thereof shall be cumulative.
(b) RESOLVED, that an additional Article, Article 9 be added to
the Certificate of Incorporation as set forth below:
"9. The Board of Directors shall consist of not less
than three nor more than fifteen directors, the exact number
of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution
adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board
of Directors, and such exact number shall be four until
otherwise determined by resolution adopted by affirmative
vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors. As used
in this Article 9, the term "whole Board" means the total
number of directors which the Corporation would have if there
were no vacancies. The Board of Directors shall divide the
directors into three classes and, when the number of
directors is changed, shall determine the class or classes to
which the increased or decreased number of directors shall be
apportioned; provided, that no decrease in the number of
directors shall affect the term of any director then in
office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as
otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or
more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting
separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the
Corporation, the terms of the director or directors elected
by such holders shall expire at the next succeeding annual
meeting of stockholders. The term of office of directors
elected at the 1986 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on
January 20, 1987 shall be as follows: the term of office of
directors of the first class shall expire at the first annual
meeting of stockholders after their election; the term of
office of directors of the second class shall expire at the
second annual meeting of stockholders after their election;
and the term of office of directors of the third class shall
expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders after
their election; and as to directors of each class, when their
respective successors are elected and qualified. At each
annual meeting of stockholders subsequent to the 1986 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, directors elected to succeed those
whose terms are expiring shall be elected for a term of
office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of
stockholders and when their respective successors are elected
and qualified.
Vacancies in the Board of Directors, however caused,
and newly created directorships shall be filled solely by a
majority vote of the directors then in office, whether or not
a quorum, and any director so chosen shall hold office for a
term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which
the term of the class to which the director has been chosen
expires and when the director's successor is elected and
qualified.
The affirmative vote of the holders of not less than
two-thirds of the outstanding voting shares of capital stock
of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors shall be required to amend, alter, change or
repeal, or adopt any provisions inconsistent with this
Article 9, provided, however, that this paragraph shall not
apply to, and such two-thirds vote shall not be required for,
any amendment, alteration, change, repeal or adoption of any
inconsistent provision declared advisable by the Board of
Directors by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Board
and submitted to stockholders for their consideration, but
only if a majority of the members of the Board of Directors
acting upon such matter shall be Continuing Directors. The
term "Continuing Director" shall mean a director who was a
member of the Board as of October 1, 1986."
(c) RESOLVED, that an additional Article, Article 10 be added to
the Certificate of Incorporation as set forth below:
"10. A director of the Corporation shall not be
personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)
under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as
the same exists or hereafter may be amended, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law
hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or
limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability
of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the
limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be
limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended
Delaware General Corporation Law. Any repeal or modification
of this paragraph by the stockholders of the Corporation
shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any
limitation on the personal liability of a director of the
corporation existing at the time of such repeal or
modification."
SECOND: That at an annual meeting of stockholders the holders of a
majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon voted in favor of
said amendments in accordance with the provisions of Section 216 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 242 and 216 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES
AND RIGHTS OF SERIES A CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE
PREFERRED STOCK
OF
ENZON, INC.
ENZON, Inc. (the "Company"), a corporation organized and existing
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify
that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the
Company by the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company, and
pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting duly held on March
9, 1990, adopted resolutions providing for the designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, of one million one hundred thousand
(1,100,000) shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred Shares") of the Company, as follows:
RESOLVED, that the Preferred Shares shall have the following powers,
designations, preferences and other special rights:
DIVIDENDS. The holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to
an annual dividend of $2.00 per Share (pro-rated for any portion of the
applicable period during which the Preferred Shares are outstanding),
payable semi-annually on December 15 and June 15 of each year, but only
when and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefor. Dividends on the Preferred Shares shall be
cumulative from and after the date of issuance of such Shares. Dividends
will accrue and accumulate but will not be paid until such time as the
Board of Directors deems it appropriate in light of the Company's then
current financial condition. Any accumulation of dividends on the
Preferred Shares shall not bear interest. No dividends shall be paid or
set apart for payment on the Company's common stock, par value, $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"), nor shall any distribution be made on the
Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock or in any
other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Shares), nor shall
any shares of Common Stock be redeemed, retired or otherwise acquired for
valuable consideration unless the Company shall have paid in full, or
made appropriate provision for the payment in full of, all dividends
which have then accumulated on the Preferred Shares. In the event that
the Company does not make cash dividend payments for eight (8)
semi-annual periods from the date of issuance of the Preferred Shares,
any holder of the Preferred Shares may elect, upon written notice to the
Company, to be paid all or any part of such accrued and unpaid dividends,
and any dividends which accrue but are unpaid thereafter, in shares of
the Company's Common Stock. In the event of such an election, the
Company shall, to the extent it may legally do so, issue and deliver to
any holder of Preferred Shares who so elects to be paid its accrued
dividends in Common Stock, within thirty (30) days after the Company's
receipt of such holder's notice to so elect, a certificate or
certificates representing such Common Stock registered in such holder's
name. Accrued and unpaid dividends payable to holders of Preferred
Shares as of the date such holder elects to convert the Preferred Shares
into Common Stock may, at the Company's option, be paid by the Company's
issuance of Common Stock to such holder. In order to exercise its option
to so pay accrued dividends upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the
Company shall so notify the holder of such Preferred Shares, in writing,
within twenty (20) days after such holder's conversion of its Preferred
Shares and shall issue and deliver to such holder, within thirty (30)
days after such holder's conversion of its Preferred Shares, a
certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock registered in
such holder's name. In all cases, the number of shares of Common Stock
to be received in lieu of accrued dividends shall be determined by
dividing the aggregate amount of the accrued and unpaid dividends by the
conversion price of the Preferred Shares in effect on the date of
election. Any accrued dividends paid by the Company's delivery of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be paid in full for all purposes.
CONVERSION OF PREFERRED SHARES. The holders of the Preferred Shares
shall have the right, at their option, to convert such Shares into shares
of Common Stock on the following terms and conditions:
(a) Each Preferred Share shall be convertible at any time
(or, if such Share is called for redemption, at any time up to and
including, but not after, the close of business on the fifth full
business day prior to the date fixed for such redemption, unless
default shall be made by the Company in providing the funds for
the payment of the redemption price), into fully paid and
nonassessable shares (calculated to the nearest whole share) of
Common Stock of the Company as constituted at the time of such
conversion, at the conversion price in effect at the time of
conversion determined as hereinafter provided. Each Preferred
Share shall have a value of $25 for the purpose of such
conversion. Every reference herein to the Common Stock of the
Company (unless a different intention is expressed) shall be to
the shares of the Common Stock of the Company, $.01 par value, as
such stock exists immediately after the issuance of the Preferred
Shares provided for hereunder, or to stock into which such Common
Stock may be changed from time to time thereafter.
(b) Commencing on the date of issuance each Preferred Share
shall be convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion
price of $7.50 per share of Common Stock until the first
anniversary of issuance, and will thereafter be convertible at a
price calculated on each subsequent anniversary as follows:
Commencing on the first anniversary of issuance, each Preferred
Share will be convertible at a price of $7.875 per share of Common
Stock; commencing on the second anniversary of issuance, each
Preferred Share will be convertible at a price of $8.27 per share
of Common Stock; commencing on the third anniversary of issuance
each Preferred Share will be convertible at a price of $9.10 per
share of Common Stock; commencing on the fourth anniversary of
issuance each Preferred Share will be convertible at a price of
$10.00 per share of Common Stock; and commencing on the fifth
anniversary of issuance and thereafter each Preferred Share will
be convertible at a price of $11.00 per share of Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial conversion price set
forth above shall not increase unless and until at the time such
increase was to have occurred, the Company shall have obtained the
effectiveness of the registration of the Common Stock issuable
under the conversion terms set forth above (the "Underlying
Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that such increase in the conversion price shall occur if
the delay in obtaining the effectiveness of such registration was
due to the Purchaser's failure to provide the information or
indemnification required under Section 5 of the Stock Subscription
Agreement dated as of March 20, 1990, on file with the Company;
and, FURTHER PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event of such a delay
in the increase of the conversion price, the conversion price will
increase immediately upon the effectiveness of such registration
of the Underlying Shares to the conversion price which would have
otherwise then been in effect under the terms set forth above.
(c) If at any time, or from time to time, the Company shall
(i) declare and pay, on or in respect of, its Common Stock any
dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or (ii) subdivide the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, or reduce the number of outstanding Preferred Shares by
combining such Shares into a smaller number of Shares, the
conversion price in effect at the time of the taking of a record
for such dividend or the taking of such other action shall be
proportionately decreased as of such time, and conversely (iii) if
at any time, or from time to time, the Company shall reduce the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock by combining such
shares into a smaller number of shares, or subdivide the
outstanding Preferred Shares into a greater number of Preferred
Shares, the conversion price in effect at the time of the taking
of any such action shall be proportionately increased as of such
time.
(d) If the Company shall consolidate with or merge into any
corporation or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock
(other than by way of subdivision or reduction of such shares),
each Preferred Share shall thereafter be convertible into the
number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the
Company, or of the entity resulting from such consolidation or
merger, to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
delivered upon conversion of such Preferred Share would have been
entitled upon such consolidation or merger or reclassification,
had the holder of such Preferred Share exercised its right of
conversion and had such Common Stock been issued and outstanding
and had such holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock
at the time of such consolidation, merger or reclassification; and
the Company shall make lawful provision therefor as a part of such
consolidation, merger or reclassification.
(e) The Company shall not be required to give effect to any
adjustment in the conversion price unless and until the net effect
of one or more adjustments, determined as above provided, shall
have resulted in a change of the conversion price by at least
$0.50, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that when the cumulative net effect of
more than one adjustment so determined shall be to change the
conversion price by at least $0.50 such change in the conversion
price shall thereupon be given effect.
(f) Whenever the conversion price is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to each holder of
Preferred Shares and file with the records of the Company a
statement signed by the Company's Chief Financial Officer setting
forth the adjusted conversion price, determined as so provided.
Such statement shall set forth in reasonable detail such facts as
may be necessary to show the reason for and the manner of
computing such adjustment.
(g) The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of
Common Stock upon any conversion, but shall pay in cash therefor
at the conversion price then in effect multiplied by such
fraction.
(h) On presentation and surrender to the Company or at any
office or agency maintained for the transfer of the Preferred
Shares of the certificates of Preferred Shares so to be converted,
duly endorsed in blank for transfer or accompanied by proper
instruments of assignment or transfer in blank, with signatures
guaranteed, the holder of such Preferred Shares shall be entitled,
subject to the limitations herein contained, to receive in
exchange therefor a certificate or certificates for fully paid and
nonassessable shares, and cash for fractional shares, of Common
Stock on the foregoing basis. The Preferred Shares shall be
deemed to have been converted and the person converting the same
to have become the holder of record of Common Stock, for the
purpose of receiving dividends and for all other purposes as of
the date when the certificate or certificates for such Preferred
Shares are surrendered to the Company as aforesaid. The Company
shall not be required to make any such conversion, and no
surrender of the Preferred Shares shall be effective for such
purpose, while the books for the transfer of either Preferred
Shares or Common Stock are closed for any purpose, but the
surrender of such Preferred Shares for conversion during any
period while such books are closed shall become effective for all
purposes of conversion immediately upon the reopening of such
books, as if the conversion had been made on the date such
Preferred Shares were surrendered.
(i) The Company shall, so long as any of the Preferred
Shares are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its
authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, such number of
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares then
outstanding.
(j) The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be
imposed upon it with respect to the issuance and delivery of
Common Stock upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares as herein
provided. The Company shall not be required in any event to pay
any transfer or other taxes by reason of the issuance of such
Common Stock in names other than those in which the Preferred
Shares surrendered for conversion are registered on the Company's
records, and no such conversion or issuance of Common Stock shall
be made unless and until the person requesting such issuance has
paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established
to the satisfaction of the Company and its transfer agent, if any,
that such tax has been paid. Upon any conversion of Preferred
Shares as herein provided no adjustment or allowance shall be made
for dividends on the Preferred Shares so converted, and all rights
to dividends which would otherwise accrue subsequent to the date
of conversion, if any, shall cease and be deemed satisfied,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that subject to the Company's right to pay
accrued and unpaid dividends by the issuance of Common Stock
discussed above, nothing shall be deemed to relieve the Company
from its obligation to pay any dividends which shall have accrued
but remain unpaid to holders of Preferred Shares of record as of a
date prior to such conversion even though the payment date for
such dividend is subsequent to the date of conversion.
VOTING RIGHTS. Preferred Shares may be voted for the election of
Directors and all other corporate matters upon which the holders of
Common Stock have the right to vote. Each Preferred Share will be
entitled to one vote. Except as otherwise provided herein, for the
purpose of determining a quorum or the vote on any such matters the
Preferred Shares and Common Stock will be deemed to be one class of
voting stock. Holders of Preferred Shares shall have all of the same
rights to receive notice of and call meetings of stockholders as holders
of the Common Stock.
REDEMPTION. The Company may, at any time subsequent to the fifth
anniversary of the issuance thereof, redeem the whole or any part of the
Preferred Shares then outstanding at a redemption price of $25.00 per
Preferred Share, plus in each case a sum equal to all accumulated and
unpaid dividends thereon through the date fixed for redemption, in
accordance with the following redemption procedures:
(a) In case of redemption of only part of the Preferred
Shares at any time outstanding, the Company shall designate the
amount of Preferred Shares so to be redeemed and shall redeem such
Preferred Shares on a PRO RATA basis. Subject to the limitations
and provisions herein contained, the Board of Directors shall have
the power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon
which the Preferred Shares shall be redeemed from time to time.
(b) Notice of every redemption shall be given by mail to
every holder of record of any Preferred Shares then to be
redeemed, at least thirty (30), but no more than ninety (90), days
prior to the date fixed as the date for the redemption thereof, at
the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear
on the stock transfer books of the Company. The notice shall
state that the Preferred Shares shall be redeemed by the Company
at the redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus a sum equal to
all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon through the date
fixed for redemption, upon the surrender for cancellation, at the
time and place designated in such notice, of the certificates
representing the Preferred Shares to be redeemed, properly
endorsed in blank for transfer, or accompanied by proper
instruments of assignment and transfer in blank, with signatures
guaranteed, and bearing all necessary transfer tax stamps thereto
affixed and cancelled. On and after the date specified in the
notice described above, each holder of Preferred Shares called for
redemption shall be entitled to receive therefor the specified
redemption price upon presentation and surrender at the place
designated in such notice of the certificates for Preferred Shares
called for redemption, properly endorsed in blank for transfer or
accompanied by proper instruments of assignment or transfer in
blank, with signatures guaranteed, and bearing all necessary
transfer tax stamps thereto affixed and cancelled.
(c) If the Company shall give notice of redemption as
aforesaid (and unless the Company shall fail to pay the redemption
price of the Preferred Shares presented for redemption in
accordance with such notice), all Preferred Shares called for
redemption shall be deemed to have been redeemed on the date
specified in such notice, whether or not the certificates for such
Preferred Shares shall be surrendered for redemption, and such
Preferred Shares so called for redemption shall from and after
such date cease to represent any interest whatsoever in the
Company or its property, and the holders thereof shall have no
rights other than the right to receive such redemption price
without any interest thereon from and after such date.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such notice of
redemption shall have been duly given as herein provided in this
section or if the Company shall have given to a bank or trust
company irrevocable authorization to give or complete such notice
as herein provided, and if prior to the redemption date specified
in such notice the funds necessary for such redemption shall have
been deposited by the Company with a bank or trust company in good
standing, organized under the laws of the United States of America
or the State of New York, and having capital, surplus and
undivided profits aggregating at least $50,000,000 according to
its last published statement of condition, in trust to be applied
to the redemption of the Preferred Shares called for redemption,
and such notice shall state that such deposit has taken place and
the date thereof, then notwithstanding that any certificate for
such Preferred Shares shall not have been surrendered for
redemption, from and after the time of such deposit all such
Preferred Shares so called for redemption shall no longer be
deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such
Preferred Shares shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only
the right of the holders thereof to receive from such bank or
trust company at any time after the time of such deposit the funds
so deposited, without interest, and the right of the holders
thereof to convert the Preferred Shares as discussed above. Any
funds so set aside or deposited, as the case may be, and unclaimed
one day prior to the end of three (3) years from such redemption
date shall be released or repaid to the Company, after which the
holders of the Preferred Shares called for redemption shall look
only to the Company for payment thereof. Any interest accrued on
any funds so deposited shall be paid to the Company from time to
time; and no such holder shall have any right thereto.
LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION, WINDING UP. In the event of any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive
in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from
earnings, available for distribution to its stockholders, before any
amount shall be paid to the holders of the Common Stock, the sum of $25
per Preferred Share, plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid
dividends thereon through the date fixed for payment of such distributive
amount. The purchase or redemption by the Company of stock of any class,
in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be
regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
Neither the consolidation nor merger of the Company with or into any
other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or transfer by the
Company of all or any part of its assets, shall, for the purposes hereof,
be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
No holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive any amounts
with respect thereto upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Company other than the amounts provided for herein.
PREFERRED RANK. All shares of Common Stock shall be of junior rank
to all Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends,
distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Company. The rights of the shares of Common Stock shall be
subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Preferred Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may authorize and issue
additional or other preferred stock which is of equal rank with the
Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends,
distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that for so long as the Preferred
Shares remain outstanding the Company shall not issue any capital stock
which is more senior in rank than the Preferred Shares in respect of the
foregoing preferences or which shall have greater voting rights than the
Preferred Shares. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another corporation, the Preferred Shares shall
maintain their relative powers, designations and preferences provided for
herein.
VOTE TO CHANGE PREFERRED SHARES. The affirmative vote at a meeting
duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of
the holders of not less than two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the then outstanding
Preferred Shares shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal any
of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Preferred
Shares.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this certificate to be
signed by Abraham Abuchowski, its Chief Executive Officer and President, and
John Caruso, its Secretary, this 21st day of March, 1990.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES
AND RIGHTS OF SERIES B CONVERTIBLE
PREFERRED STOCK
OF
ENZON, INC.
ENZON, Inc. (the "COMPANY"), a corporation organized and existing under
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify that,
pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company by
the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company, and pursuant to
Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Board
of Directors of the Company at a meeting duly held on January 31, 1996, adopted
resolutions providing for the designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof, of forty thousand (40,000) shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES") of the Company, as follows:
RESOLVED, that the Company is authorized to issue 40,000 shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES B PREFERRED
SHARES") which shall have the following powers, designations,
preferences and other special rights:
(1) DIVIDENDS. The holders of the Series B Preferred
Shares shall not be entitled to dividends.
(2) CONVERSION OF SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES. The holders
of the Series B Preferred Shares shall have the right, at their
option, to convert the Series B Preferred Shares into shares of
Common Stock on the following terms and conditions:
(a) Each Preferred Share shall be convertible at any
time after seventy (70) days after the date of issuance (or, if
such Series B Preferred Share is called for redemption, at any time
up to and including, but not after, the close of business on the
fifth full business day prior to the date fixed for such
redemption, unless default shall be made by the Company in
providing the funds for the payment of the redemption price), into
fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated to the nearest
whole share) of Common Stock of the Company as constituted at the
time of such conversion, at the conversion price (the "CONVERSION
PRICE") in effect at the time of conversion determined as
hereinafter provided; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall any
holder be entitled to convert Series B Preferred Shares if, after
giving effect to such conversion, the number of shares of Common
Stock purchased pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated
January 31, 1996 by and among the Company and certain investors
(the "SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT") set forth therein providing
for the purchase of Common Stock, the Series B Preferred Shares and
Warrants or issued on exercise of such Warrants, or conversion of
Series B Preferred Shares and beneficially owned by such holder and
all other holders whose holdings would be aggregated with such
holder for purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in
accordance with Sections 13(d) and 16 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder ("SECTIONS
13(D) AND 16"), including, without limitation, any person serving
as an adviser to any holder (collectively, the "RELATED PERSONS"),
would exceed four and nine-tenths percent (4.9%) of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (calculated in accordance with Sections
13(d) and 16). Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B
Preferred Shares or exercise of the warrants for the purchase of
Common Stock held by such holder or the Related Persons shall not
be deemed to be beneficially owned by such holder or the Related
Persons for this purpose. Each Preferred Share shall have a value
of $100 (the "STATED VALUE") for the purpose of such conversion and
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
each of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be determined by
dividing the Stated Value thereof by the Conversion Price then in
effect. Every reference herein to the COMMON STOCK of the Company
(unless a different intention is expressed) shall be to the shares
of the Common Stock of the Company, $.01 par value, as such stock
exists immediately after the issuance of the Series B Preferred
Shares provided for hereunder, or to stock into which such Common
Stock may be changed from time to time thereafter.
(b) The Conversion Price shall be eighty percent
(80%) (the "CONVERSION PERCENTAGE") of the Average Market Price (as
defined below) for the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive
trading days ending one trading day prior to the date the
Conversion Notice (as defined below) is received by the Company,
subject to adjustment as provided herein. If the registration
statement (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") covering the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred
Shares required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and initial
holders of the Series B Preferred Shares (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS
AGREEMENT") has not been declared effective by the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") within ninety (90) days after the
date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares, or if, after the
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC,
sales cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement by
reason of stop order, the Company's failure to update the
Registration Statement or otherwise, or if the Common Stock is not
listed or included for quotation on the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") National Market
System (the "NASDAQ-NMS"), the New York Stock Exchange (the
"NYSE"), the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX"), or the NASDAQ
SmallCap Market (the "NASDAQ SMALLCAP") then, as partial relief for
the damages to the holder by reason of any such delay in or
reduction of its ability to sell the shares of Common Stock (which
remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at
law or in equity, except that such remedy shall be the exclusive
remedy for any delay in the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement provided the Registration Statement is declared effective
by the SEC within 180 days after the date of issuance of the Series
B Preferred Shares), the Conversion Percentage shall be reduced by
a number of percentage points equal to three (3) times the sum of:
(i) the number of months (prorated for partial months) after the
end of such 90 day period and prior to the date the Registration
Statement is declared effective by the SEC, provided, however, that
there shall be excluded from such period (and from any period under
clause (ii) immediate below) delays which are attributable to
changes in the Registration Statement required by the Investors (as
that term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement),
including, without limitation, changes in the plan of distribution;
(ii) the number of months (prorated for partial months) that sales
cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement (by reason of
stop order, the Company's failure to update the Registration or
otherwise) after the Registration Statement has been declared
effective; and (iii) the number of months (prorated for partial
months) that the Common Stock is not listed or included for
quotation on the NASDAQ-NMS, NYSE, AMEX, or NASDAQ SmallCap after
the Registration Statement has been declared effective; provided
that the aggregate number of months that are the basis of a
reduction in the Conversion Percentage pursuant to the foregoing
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall not exceed twelve (12). (For
example, if the Registration Statement becomes effective one and
one-half (1 1/2 ) months after the end of such 90 day period, the
Conversion Percentage would be 75.5% until any subsequent
adjustment; if thereafter sales could not be made pursuant to the
Registration Statement for a period of two (2) months, the
Conversion Percentage would then be 69.5%.) If the holder converts
Series B Preferred Shares into Common Stock and an adjustment to
the Conversion Percentage is required subsequent to such
conversion, but prior to the sale of such Common Stock by such
holder, the Company shall pay to such holder, within five (5) days
after receipt of a notice of the sale of such Common Stock from
such holder, an amount equal to the Average Market Price of the
Common Stock obtained upon conversion of such Series B Preferred
Shares for the five (5) trading days ending one (1) trading day
prior to the date of conversion multiplied by three-hundredths
(.03) times the number of months (prorated for partial months) for
which an adjustment was required; provided that the aggregate
number of months for which such an adjustment is required (when
added to the number of months for which an adjustment is made
pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above) shall not exceed
twelve (12). Such amount may be paid at the Company's option in
cash or Common Stock valued based on the Average Market Price of
the Common Stock for the period of five (5) consecutive trading
days ending on the date of the sale of such Common Stock; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that any amounts due as to that period during which the
shares are not traded or included for quotation on the NASDAQ-NMS,
NYSE, AMEX or NASDAQ SmallCap shall be paid in cash only; PROVIDED,
FURTHER, HOWEVER, that in no event shall shares be issued hereunder
if, after giving effect to such issuance, the number of shares of
Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement or issued on exercise of the Warrants or conversion of
the Series B Preferred Shares and beneficially owned by such holder
and all Related Persons would exceed four and nine-tenths percent
(4.9%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated in
accordance with Sections 13(d) and 16; cash shall be paid in lieu
of any shares which cannot be issued pursuant to this second
proviso. Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B
Preferred Shares or exercise of the warrants for the purchase of
Common Stock held by such holder or the Related Persons shall not
be deemed to be beneficially owned by such holder or the Related
Persons for this purpose. (For example, if the Conversion
Percentage was 75.5% at the time of conversion of $1,000,000 in
Stated Value of Series B Preferred Shares (such that the Series B
Preferred Shares were converted into Common Stock having an Average
Market Price for the applicable period in aggregate of $1,324,503)
and subsequent to conversion there was a further two (2) month
delay in the Registration Statement's being declared effective, and
such Common Stock was sold at the end of such two (2) month period,
the Company would pay to the holder $79,470.20 in cash or Common
Stock.)
"AVERAGE MARKET PRICE" of any security for any period
shall be computed as the arithmetic average of the closing bid
prices for such security for each trading day in such period on the
NASDAQ-NMS, or, if the NASDAQ-NMS is not the principal trading
market for such security, on the principal trading market for such
security, or, if market value cannot be calculated for such period
on any of the foregoing bases, the average fair market value during
such period as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
(c) If the Company shall consolidate with or merge
into any corporation or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common
Stock (other than by way of subdivision or reduction of such
shares) (each a "MAJOR TRANSACTION"), then each Series B Preferred
Share shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of
stock or securities (the "RESULTING SECURITIES") or property of the
Company, or of the entity resulting from such consolidation or
merger, to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
delivered upon conversion of such Series B Preferred Share would
have been entitled upon such Major Transaction had the holder of
such Series B Preferred Share exercised its right of conversion and
had such Common Stock been issued and outstanding and had such
holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock at the time
of such Major Transaction, and the Company shall make lawful
provision therefor as a part of such consolidation, merger or
reclassification; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall give
the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares written notice of any
Major Transaction promptly upon the execution of any agreement
whether or not binding in connection therewith (including without
limitation a letter of intent or agreement in principle) and in no
event shall a Major Transaction be consummated prior to ninety (90)
days after such notice.
(d) The Company shall not issue any fraction of a
share of Common Stock upon any conversion, but shall pay in cash
therefor at the Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by such
fraction.
(e) On presentation and surrender to the Company (or
at any office or agency maintained for the transfer of the Series B
Preferred Shares) of the certificates of Series B Preferred Shares
so to be converted, duly endorsed in blank for transfer or
accompanied by proper instruments of assignment or transfer in
blank (a "CONVERSION NOTICE"), with signatures guaranteed, the
holder of such Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled, subject
to the limitations herein contained, to receive in exchange
therefor a certificate or certificates for fully paid and
nonassessable shares, which certificates shall be delivered by the
second trading day after the date of delivery of the Conversion
Notice, and cash for fractional shares, of Common Stock on the
foregoing basis. The Series B Preferred Shares shall be deemed to
have been converted, and the person converting the same to have
become the holder of record of Common Stock, for all purposes as of
the date of delivery of the Conversion Notice.
(f) The Company shall, so long as any of the Series B
Preferred Shares are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of
its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares, such
number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the Series B
Preferred Shares then outstanding.
(g) The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may
be imposed upon it with respect to the issuance and delivery of
Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares
as herein provided. The Company shall not be required in any event
to pay any transfer or other taxes by reason of the issuance of
such Common Stock in names other than those in which the Series B
Preferred Shares surrendered for conversion are registered on the
Company's records, and no such conversion or issuance of Common
Stock shall be made unless and until the person requesting such
issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has
established to the satisfaction of the Company and its transfer
agent, if any, that such tax has been paid.
(3) VOTING RIGHTS. Holders of Series B Preferred Shares
shall have no voting rights, except as required by law and by
Section 7 hereof.
(4) REDEMPTION. The Company may, but shall not be
obligated to, at any time subsequent to ninety (90) days after the
issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares, redeem the whole or any
part of the Series B Preferred Shares then outstanding at a
redemption price of $127 per Preferred Share, in accordance with
the following redemption procedures:
(a) In case of redemption of only part of the Series
B Preferred Shares at any time outstanding, the Company shall
designate the amount of Series B Preferred Shares so to be redeemed
and shall redeem such Series B Preferred Shares on a PRO RATA
basis. Subject to the limitations and provisions herein contained,
the Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to
prescribe the terms and conditions upon which the Series B
Preferred Shares shall be redeemed from time to time.
(b) Notice of every redemption shall be given by mail
to every holder of record of any Series B Preferred Shares then to
be redeemed, at least thirty (30), but no more than ninety (90),
days prior to the date fixed as the date for the redemption
thereof, at the respective addresses of such holders as the same
shall appear on the stock transfer books of the Company. The
notice shall state that the Series B Preferred Shares shall be
redeemed by the Company at the redemption price specified above,
upon the surrender for cancellation, at the time and place
designated in such notice, of the certificates representing the
Series B Preferred Shares to be redeemed, properly endorsed in
blank for transfer, or accompanied by proper instruments of
assignment and transfer in blank, with signatures guaranteed, and
bearing all necessary transfer tax stamps thereto affixed and
cancelled. On and after the date specified in the notice described
above, each holder of Series B Preferred Shares called for
redemption shall be entitled to receive therefor the specified
redemption price upon presentation and surrender at the place
designated in such notice of the certificates for Series B
Preferred Shares called for redemption, properly endorsed in blank
for transfer or accompanied by proper instruments of assignment or
transfer in blank, with signatures guaranteed, and bearing all
necessary transfer tax stamps thereto affixed and cancelled.
(c) If the Company shall give notice of redemption as
aforesaid (and unless the Company shall fail to pay the redemption
price of the Series B Preferred Shares presented for redemption in
accordance with such notice), all Series B Preferred Shares called
for redemption shall be deemed to have been redeemed on the date
specified in such notice, whether or not the certificates for such
Series B Preferred Shares shall be surrendered for redemption, and
such Series B Preferred Shares so called for redemption shall from
and after such date cease to represent any interest whatsoever in
the Company or its property, and the holders thereof shall have no
rights other than the right to receive such redemption price
without any interest thereof from and after such date.
(5) LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION, WINDING UP. In the event of
any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Company, the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares shall
be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company,
whether from capital or from earnings, available for distribution
to its stockholders (the "PREFERRED FUNDS"), before any amount
shall be paid to the holders of the Common Stock, an amount equal
to the Stated Value per Series B Preferred Share, provided that, if
the Preferred Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to
the holders of Series B Preferred Shares and holders of shares of
other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company that are
of equal rank with the Series B Preferred Shares as to payments of
Preferred Funds (the "PARI PASSU SHARES"), then each holder of
Series B Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares shall receive a
percentage of the Preferred Funds equal to the full amount of
Preferred Funds payable to such holder as a percentage of the full
amount of Preferred Funds payable to all holders of Series B
Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares. The purchase or
redemption by the Company of stock of any class, in any manner
permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded
as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
Neither the consolidation nor merger of the Company with or into
any other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or transfer by
the Company of less than substantially all of its assets, shall,
for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company. No holder of Series B Preferred
Shares shall be entitled to receive any amounts with respect
thereto upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company other than the amounts provided for herein.
(6) PREFERRED RANK. All shares of Common Stock shall be of
junior rank to all Series B Preferred Shares in respect to the
preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company. The rights of the shares
of Common Stock shall be subject to the preferences and relative
rights of the Series B Preferred Shares. The Series B Preferred
Shares shall be of equal rank with the Company's Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in respect of distributions
and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may authorize
and issue additional or other preferred stock which is of equal or
junior rank with the Series B Preferred Shares in respect of the
preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
for so long as the Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding the
Company shall not issue any capital stock which is more senior in
rank than the Series B Preferred Shares in respect of the foregoing
preferences. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another corporation, the Series B Preferred
Shares shall maintain their relative powers, designations and
preferences provided for herein.
(7) VOTE TO CHANGE THE TERMS OF SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES.
The affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or
the written consent without a meeting of the holders of not less
than two-thirds (2/3) of the then outstanding Series B Preferred
Shares shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal any of
the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Series B
Preferred Shares.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this certificate to be signed
by Peter G. Tombros, its President, and John A. Caruso, its Secretary, this
31st day of January 1996.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES
AND RIGHTS OF SERIES C CONVERTIBLE
PREFERRED STOCK
OF
ENZON, INC.
ENZON, Inc. (the "COMPANY"), a corporation organized and existing under
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify that,
pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company by
the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company, and pursuant to
Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Board
of Directors of the Company at a meeting duly held on March 14, 1996, adopted
resolutions providing for the designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof, of twenty thousand (20,000) shares of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES C PREFERRED SHARES") of the Company,
as follows:
RESOLVED, that the Company is authorized to issue 20,000 shares of
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES C PREFERRED
SHARES") which shall have the following powers, designations,
preferences and other special rights:
(1) DIVIDENDS. The holders of the Series C Preferred
Shares shall not be entitled to dividends.
(2) CONVERSION OF SERIES C PREFERRED SHARES. The holders
of the Series C Preferred Shares shall have the right, at their
option, to convert the Series C Preferred Shares into shares of
Common Stock on the following terms and conditions:
(a) Each Series C Preferred Share shall be
convertible at any time after seventy (70) days after the date of
issuance (or, if such Series C Preferred Share is called for
redemption, at any time up to and including, but not after, the
close of business on the fifth full business day prior to the date
fixed for such redemption, unless default shall be made by the
Company in providing the funds for the payment of the redemption
price), into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated to the
nearest whole share) of Common Stock of the Company as constituted
at the time of such conversion, at the conversion price (the
"CONVERSION PRICE") in effect at the time of conversion determined
as hereinafter provided; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall
any holder be entitled to convert Series C Preferred Shares if,
after giving effect to such conversion, the number of shares of
Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement dated January 31, 1996 by and among the Company and
certain investors providing for the purchase of Common Stock,
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES B PREFERRED
SHARES") and warrants to purchase Common Stock (the "WARRANTS"),
and pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 15,
1996 by and among the Company and certain investors providing for
the purchase of Common Stock, the Series C Preferred Shares and
warrants to purchase Common Stock (the "NEW WARRANTS")
(collectively, the "SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENTS"), or issued on
exercise of the Warrants or New Warrants, or conversion of the
Series C Preferred Shares or Series B Preferred Shares and
beneficially owned by such holder and all other holders whose
holdings would be aggregated with such holder for purposes of
calculating beneficial ownership in accordance with Sections 13(d)
and 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
regulations thereunder ("SECTIONS 13(D) AND 16"), including,
without limitation, any person serving as an adviser to any holder
(collectively, the "RELATED PERSONS"), would exceed four and ninety
five-hundredths percent (4.95%) of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (calculated in accordance with Sections 13(d) and 16).
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred
Shares or the Series B Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants
or New Warrants for the purchase of Common Stock held by such
holder or the Related Persons shall not be deemed to be
beneficially owned by such holder or the Related Persons for this
purpose. Each Series C Preferred Share shall have a value of $100
(the "STATED VALUE") for the purpose of such conversion and the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each
of the Series C Preferred Shares shall be determined by dividing
the Stated Value thereof by the Conversion Price then in effect.
Every reference herein to the COMMON STOCK of the Company (unless a
different intention is expressed) shall be to the shares of the
Common Stock of the Company, $.01 par value, as such stock exists
immediately after the issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares
provided for hereunder, or to stock into which such Common Stock
may be changed from time to time thereafter.
(b) The Conversion Price shall be eighty percent
(80%) (the "CONVERSION PERCENTAGE") of the Average Market Price (as
defined below) for the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive
trading days ending one trading day prior to the date the
Conversion Notice (as defined below) is received by the Company,
subject to adjustment as provided herein. If the registration
statement (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") covering the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred
Shares required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and initial
holders of the Series C Preferred Shares (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS
AGREEMENT") has not been declared effective by the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") within ninety (90) days after the
date of issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares, or if, after the
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC,
sales cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement by
reason of stop order, the Company's failure to update the
Registration Statement in accordance with the rules and regulations
of the SEC or otherwise, or if the Common Stock is not listed or
included for quotation on the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") National Market System (the
"NASDAQ-NMS"), the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), the
American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX"), or the NASDAQ SmallCap Market
(the "NASDAQ SMALLCAP") then, as partial relief for the damages to
the holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its
ability to sell the shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not
be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity,
except that such remedy shall be the exclusive remedy for any delay
in the effectiveness of the Registration Statement provided the
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC within 180
days after the date of issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares),
the Conversion Percentage shall be reduced by a number of
percentage points equal to three (3) times the sum of: (i) the
number of months (prorated for partial months) after the end of
such 90 day period and prior to the date the Registration Statement
is declared effective by the SEC, provided, however, that there
shall be excluded from such period (and from any period under
clause (ii) immediately below) delays which are attributable to
changes in the Registration Statement required by the Investors (as
that term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement),
including, without limitation, changes in the plan of distribution;
(ii) the number of months (prorated for partial months) that sales
cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement (by reason of
stop order, the Company's failure to update the Registration or
otherwise) after the Registration Statement has been declared
effective; and (iii) the number of months (prorated for partial
months) that the Common Stock is not listed or included for
quotation on the NASDAQ-NMS, NYSE, AMEX, or NASDAQ SmallCap after
the Registration Statement has been declared effective; provided
that the aggregate number of months that are the basis of a
reduction in the Conversion Percentage pursuant to the foregoing
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall not exceed twelve (12). (For
example, if the Registration Statement becomes effective one and
one-half (1 1/2 ) months after the end of such 90 day period, the
Conversion Percentage would be 75.5% until any subsequent
adjustment; if thereafter sales could not be made pursuant to the
Registration Statement for a period of two (2) months, the
Conversion Percentage would then be 69.5%.) If the holder converts
Series C Preferred Shares into Common Stock and an adjustment to
the Conversion Percentage is required subsequent to such
conversion, but prior to the sale of such Common Stock by such
holder, the Company shall pay to such holder, within five (5) days
after receipt of a notice of the sale of such Common Stock from
such holder, an amount equal to the Average Market Price of the
Common Stock obtained upon conversion of such Series C Preferred
Shares for the five (5) trading days ending one (1) trading day
prior to the date of conversion multiplied by three-hundredths
(.03) times the number of months (prorated for partial months) for
which an adjustment was required; provided that the aggregate
number of months for which such an adjustment is required (when
added to the number of months for which an adjustment is made
pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above) shall not exceed
twelve (12). Such amount may be paid at the Company's option in
cash or Common Stock valued based on the Average Market Price of
the Common Stock for the period of five (5) consecutive trading
days ending on the date of the sale of such Common Stock; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that any amounts due as to that period during which the
shares are not traded or included for quotation on the NASDAQ-NMS,
NYSE, AMEX or NASDAQ SmallCap shall be paid in cash only; PROVIDED,
FURTHER, HOWEVER, that in no event shall shares be issued hereunder
if, after giving effect to such issuance, the number of shares of
Common Stock issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements
or issued on exercise of the Warrants or New Warrants or conversion
of the Series C Preferred Shares or Series B Preferred Shares and
beneficially owned by such holder and all Related Persons would
exceed four and ninety five hundredths percent (4.95%) of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated in accordance with
Sections 13(d) and 16); cash shall be paid in lieu of any shares
which cannot be issued pursuant to this second proviso. Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of Series C Preferred Shares, Series
B Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants or New Warrants for
the purchase of Common Stock held by such holder or the Related
Persons shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such holder
or the Related Persons for this purpose. (For example, if the
Conversion Percentage was 75.5% at the time of conversion of
$1,000,000 in Stated Value of Series C Preferred Shares (such that
the Series C Preferred Shares were converted into Common Stock
having an Average Market Price for the applicable period in
aggregate of $1,324,503) and subsequent to conversion there was a
further two (2) month delay in the Registration Statement's being
declared effective, and such Common Stock was sold at the end of
such two (2) month period, the Company would pay to the holder
$79,470.20 in cash or Common Stock.)
"AVERAGE MARKET PRICE" of any security for any period
shall be computed as the arithmetic average of the closing bid
prices for such security for each trading day in such period on the
NASDAQ-NMS, or, if the NASDAQ-NMS is not the principal trading
market for such security, on the principal trading market for such
security, or, if market value cannot be calculated for such period
on any of the foregoing bases, the average fair market value during
such period as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
(c) If the Company shall consolidate with or merge
into any corporation or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common
Stock (other than by way of subdivision or reduction of such
shares) (each a "MAJOR TRANSACTION"), then each Series C Preferred
Share shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of
stock or securities (the "RESULTING SECURITIES") or property of the
Company, or of the entity resulting from such consolidation or
merger, to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
delivered upon conversion of such Series C Preferred Share would
have been entitled upon such Major Transaction had the holder of
such Series C Preferred Share exercised its right of conversion and
had such Common Stock been issued and outstanding and had such
holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock at the time
of such Major Transaction, and the Company shall make lawful
provision therefor as a part of such consolidation, merger or
reclassification; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall give
the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares written notice of any
Major Transaction promptly upon the execution of any agreement
whether or not binding in connection therewith (including without
limitation a letter of intent or agreement in principle) and in no
event shall a Major Transaction be consummated prior to ninety (90)
days after such notice.
(d) The Company shall not issue any fraction of a
share of Common Stock upon any conversion, but shall pay in cash
therefor at the Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by such
fraction.
(e) On presentation and surrender to the Company (or
at any office or agency maintained for the transfer of the Series C
Preferred Shares) of the certificates of Series C Preferred Shares
so to be converted, duly endorsed in blank for transfer or
accompanied by proper instruments of assignment or transfer in
blank (a "CONVERSION NOTICE"), with signatures guaranteed, the
holder of such Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled, subject
to the limitations herein contained, to receive in exchange
therefor a certificate or certificates for fully paid and
nonassessable shares, which certificates shall be delivered by the
second trading day after the date of delivery of the Conversion
Notice, and cash for fractional shares, of Common Stock on the
foregoing basis. The Series C Preferred Shares shall be deemed to
have been converted, and the person converting the same to have
become the holder of record of Common Stock, for all purposes as of
the date of delivery of the Conversion Notice.
(f) The Company shall, so long as any of the Series C
Preferred Shares are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of
its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares, such
number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the Series C
Preferred Shares then outstanding.
(g) The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may
be imposed upon it with respect to the issuance and delivery of
Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares
as herein provided. The Company shall not be required in any event
to pay any transfer or other taxes by reason of the issuance of
such Common Stock in names other than those in which the Series C
Preferred Shares surrendered for conversion are registered on the
Company's records, and no such conversion or issuance of Common
Stock shall be made unless and until the person requesting such
issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has
established to the satisfaction of the Company and its transfer
agent, if any, that such tax has been paid.
(3) VOTING RIGHTS. Holders of Series C Preferred Shares
shall have no voting rights, except as required by law and by
Section 7 hereof.
(4) REDEMPTION. The Company may, but shall not be
obligated to, at any time subsequent to ninety (90) days after the
issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares, redeem the whole or any
part of the Series C Preferred Shares then outstanding at a
redemption price of $127 per Preferred Share, in accordance with
the following redemption procedures:
(a) In case of redemption of only part of the
Series C Preferred Shares at any time outstanding, the Company shall
designate the amount of Series C Preferred Shares so to be redeemed and
shall redeem such Series C Preferred Shares on a PRO RATA basis.
Subject to the limitations and provisions herein contained, the Board of
Directors shall have the power and authority to prescribe
the terms and conditions upon which the Series C Preferred Shares shall be
redeemed from time to time.
(a) Notice of every redemption shall be given by
mail to every holder of record of any Series C Preferred Shares then to be
redeemed, at least thirty (30), but no more than ninety (90), days prior to
the date fixed as the date for the redemption thereof, at the respective
addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer
books of the Company. The notice shall state that the Series C Preferred
Shares shall be redeemed by the Company at the redemption price specified
above, upon the surrender for cancellation, at the time and place designated
in such notice, of the certificates representing the Series C Preferred
Shares to be redeemed, properly endorsed in blank for transfer, or
accompanied by proper instruments of assignment and transfer in blank, with
signatures guaranteed, and bearing all necessary transfer tax stamps
thereto affixed and cancelled. On and after the date specified in the
notice described above, each holder of Series C Preferred Shares called
for redemption shall be entitled to receive therefor the specified
redemption price upon presentation and surrender at the place designated in
such notice of the certificates for Series C Preferred Shares called
for redemption, properly endorsed in blank for transfer or accompanied by proper
instruments of assignment or transfer in blank, with signatures guaranteed,
and bearing all necessary transfer tax stamps thereto affixed and cancelled.
(b) If the Company shall give notice of redemption as
aforesaid (and unless the Company shall fail to pay the redemption price
of the Series C Preferred Shares presented for redemption in accordance
with such notice), all Series C Preferred Shares called for
redemption shall be deemed to have been redeemed on the date specified in such
notice, whether or not the certificates for such Series C Preferred Shares
shall be surrendered for redemption, and such Series C Preferred Shares so
called for redemption shall from and after such date cease to
represent any interest whatsoever in the Company or its property, and the
holders thereof shall have no rights other than the right to receive such
redemption price without any interest thereof from and after such date.
(5) LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION, WINDING UP. In the event of
any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Company, the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares shall
be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company,
whether from capital or from earnings, available for distribution
to its stockholders (the "PREFERRED FUNDS"), before any amount
shall be paid to the holders of the Common Stock, an amount equal
to the Stated Value per Series C Preferred Share, provided that, if
the Preferred Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to
the holders of Series C Preferred Shares and holders of shares of
other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company that are
of equal rank with the Series C Preferred Shares as to payments of
Preferred Funds (the "PARI PASSU SHARES"), then each holder of
Series C Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares shall receive a
percentage of the Preferred Funds equal to the full amount of
Preferred Funds payable to such holder as a percentage of the full
amount of Preferred Funds payable to all holders of Series C
Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares. The purchase or
redemption by the Company of stock of any class, in any manner
permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded
as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
Neither the consolidation nor merger of the Company with or into
any other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or transfer by
the Company of less than substantially all of its assets, shall,
for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company. No holder of Series C Preferred
Shares shall be entitled to receive any amounts with respect
thereto upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company other than the amounts provided for herein.
(6) PREFERRED RANK. All shares of Common Stock shall be of
junior rank to all Series C Preferred Shares in respect to the
preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company. The rights of the shares
of Common Stock shall be subject to the preferences and relative
rights of the Series C Preferred Shares. The Series C Preferred
Shares shall be of equal rank with the Company's Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred
Shares in respect of distributions and payments upon the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may authorize and issue
additional or other preferred stock which is of equal or junior
rank with the Series C Preferred Shares in respect of the
preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
for so long as the Series C Preferred Shares remain outstanding the
Company shall not issue any capital stock which is more senior in
rank than the Series C Preferred Shares in respect of the foregoing
preferences. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another corporation, the Series C Preferred
Shares shall
maintain their relative powers, designations and preferences
provided for herein.
(7) VOTE TO CHANGE THE TERMS OF SERIES C PREFERRED SHARES.
The affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or
the written consent without a meeting of the holders of not less
than two-thirds (2/3) of the then outstanding Series C Preferred
Shares shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal any of
the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Series C
Preferred Shares.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this certificate to be signed
by Peter G. Tombros, its President, and John A. Caruso, its Secretary, this
15th day of March 1996.

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT"), dated as of March

f. SEC DOCUMENTS, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Since June 30, 1992, the
Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other

of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included
therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other
than exhibits) incorporated by reference therein, together with, on such
date as it shall be declared effective by the SEC, the Registration

on March 7, 1996 which registers the resale of certain securities issued or
issuable in connection with Tranche I, being hereinafter referred to herein
as the "SEC DOCUMENTS"). The Company has or shall have delivered to the
Buyer true and complete copies of the SEC Documents, except for such

filing or effective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the 1933 and 1934, as applicable, Act and
the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to
the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were
filed with or declared effective by the SEC, as appropriate, contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules
and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i)
as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes
thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent
they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and
fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position
of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof
and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the
periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
year-end audit adjustments). No other information provided by or on behalf
of the Company to the Buyer and referred to in Section 2(d) of this
Agreement, when made, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstance under which they were
made, not misleading. In the aggregate, the information provided by or on
behalf of the Company to the Buyer and referred to in Section 2(d),
including without limitation the SEC Documents, does not omit to state a
material fact or contain material inaccuracies.

no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the
business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of

h. ABSENCE OF LITIGATION. Except as disclosed in SCHEDULE 3(H),
there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by
any court, public board or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company

any of its subsidiaries, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding
would have a Material Adverse Effect or which would adversely affect the
validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company
to perform its obligations under, this Agreement or any of the documents
contemplated herein.
4. COVENANTS.
a. BEST EFFORTS. The parties shall use their best efforts timely to
satisfy each of the conditions described in Section 6 and 7 of this

reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for, or obtain
exemption for the Securities for, sale to the Buyer at the closing pursuant
to this Agreement under applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of the
states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of any such action
so taken to the Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date.
c. REPORTING STATUS. Until such date as is the earlier of (i) at
least three (3) years after the date of the expiration of all the Warrants,
or (ii) the date on which (a) all of the Warrants have been exercised or
expired, (b) no Registrable Securities are held by any Investor, and (c)
none of the Series C Preferred Shares is outstanding (the "REGISTRATION
PERIOD"), the Company shall file all reports required to be filed with the
SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and the Company shall not terminate its
status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the
1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such
termination.
d. USE OF PROCEEDS. Without the consent of a majority in interest
of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall not use the proceeds from
the sale of the Common Shares and the Preferred Shares for anything other
than the Company's internal working capital purposes and shall not,
directly or indirectly, use such proceeds for any loan to or investment in
any other corporation, partnership, enterprise or other person; provided
that it is understood that the Company may be required to pay a finder's
fee in connection with the transactions provided for herein.
e. ADDITIONAL EQUITY CAPITAL. The Company agrees that, for a period
of 180 days following February 7, 1996, the Company will not, without the
prior written and approval of the Buyer, negotiate or contract with any
outside party to issue additional equity financing in any form, provided
that such restriction shall not apply to the issuance of equity securities
in connection with a license or development agreement between the Company
or one of its subsidiaries and a corporate strategic partner or as
compensation for services rendered to the Company.
f. EXPENSES. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement,
including, without limitation, Buyer's attorneys' fees and expenses up to
an aggregate amount of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000).
g. REVERSE STOCK SPLIT. The Company agrees to use its best efforts
to effect a reverse one-for-two stock split of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. The Company
shall not be required to seek stockholder approval prior to the annual
meeting thereof.
h. FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The Company agrees to send the following
reports to the Buyer until the Buyer transfers, assigns, or sells all of
the Securities, Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares, and Damage Shares: (i)
within ten (10) days after the filing with the SEC, a copy of its Annual
Report on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current
Reports on Form 8-K; and (ii) within one day after release, copies of all
press releases issued by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
i. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times have
authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, a sufficient number
of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the Warrants,
conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares and issuance of the Damage
Shares.
j. LISTING. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
Registrable Securities upon each national securities exchange or automated
quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed
(subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any
other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares
of Registrable Securities from time to time issuable under the terms of
this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
k. MAJOR TRANSACTIONS. The Company shall not consummate a Major
Transaction (as that term is defined in the Certificate of Designation)
without the prior written approval of the holders of a majority of the
Series C Preferred Shares; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this Section shall
terminate and be of no further force and effect if the Company reasonably
determines that performance hereunder would violate NASDAQ rules with
regard to the issuance of voting securities having super-majority voting
rights.
5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
The Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue certificates,
registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion
Shares, Warrant Shares and Damage Shares in such amounts as specified from
time to time by the Company to the transfer agent in accordance with the
terms of the applicable security. Prior to sale of the Registrable
Securities, pursuant to an effective registration statement all such
certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of
this Agreement. The Company shall provide instructions and opinions of
counsel to its transfer agent in accordance with Section 3(o) of the
Registration Rights Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction
other than such instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop
transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof prior to
registration of the Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, will be
given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities and the
Registrable Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books
and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall
affect in any way the Buyer's obligations and agreement to comply with all
applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities and the
Registrable Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company with an opinion
of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the
Company, that registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the
Securities or the Registrable Securities is not required under the 1933
Act, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Common
Shares, the Series C Preferred Shares, the Conversion Shares, the Warrant
Shares or the Damage Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue
one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as
specified by the Buyer.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES
AND RIGHTS OF SERIES C CONVERTIBLE
PREFERRED STOCK
OF
ENZON, INC.
ENZON, Inc. (the "COMPANY"), a corporation organized and existing
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby
certify that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors
of the Company by the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the
Company, and pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting duly
held on March 14, 1996, adopted resolutions providing for the designations,
preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of twenty thousand
(20,000) shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES C
PREFERRED SHARES") of the Company, as follows:
RESOLVED, that the Company is authorized to issue 20,000 shares
of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES C PREFERRED
SHARES") which shall have the following powers, designations,
preferences and other special rights:
(1) DIVIDENDS. The holders of the Series C Preferred
Shares shall not be entitled to dividends.
(2) CONVERSION OF SERIES C PREFERRED SHARES. The holders
of the Series C Preferred Shares shall have the right, at their
option, to convert the Series C Preferred Shares into shares of
Common Stock on the following terms and conditions:
(a) Each Series C Preferred Share shall be convertible
at any time after seventy (70) days after the date of issuance
(or, if such Series C Preferred Share is called for redemption,
at any time up to and including, but not after, the close of
business on the fifth full business day prior to the date fixed
for such redemption, unless default shall be made by the Company
in providing the funds for the payment of the redemption price),
into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated to the
nearest whole share) of Common Stock of the Company as
constituted at the time of such conversion, at the conversion
price (the "CONVERSION PRICE") in effect at the time of
conversion determined as hereinafter provided; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that in no event shall any holder be entitled to convert Series C
Preferred Shares if, after giving effect to such conversion, the
number of shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement dated January 31, 1996 by and among
the Company and certain investors providing for the purchase of
Common Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES B
PREFERRED SHARES") and warrants to purchase Common Stock (the
"WARRANTS"), and pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
dated March 15, 1996 by and among the Company and certain
investors providing for the purchase of Common Stock, the Series
C Preferred Shares and warrants to purchase Common Stock (the
"NEW WARRANTS") (collectively, the "SECURITIES PURCHASE
AGREEMENTS"), or issued on exercise of the Warrants or New
Warrants, or conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares or
Series B Preferred Shares and beneficially owned by such holder
and all other holders whose holdings would be aggregated with
such holder for purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in
accordance with Sections 13(d) and 16 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder
("SECTIONS 13(D) AND 16"), including, without limitation, any
person serving as an adviser to any holder (collectively, the
"RELATED PERSONS"), would exceed four and ninety five-hundredths
percent (4.95%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(calculated in accordance with Sections 13(d) and 16). Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares
or the Series B Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants or
New Warrants for the purchase of Common Stock held by such holder
or the Related Persons shall not be deemed to be beneficially
owned by such holder or the Related Persons for this purpose.
Each Series C Preferred Share shall have a value of $100 (the
"STATED VALUE") for the purpose of such conversion and the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each of the
Series C Preferred Shares shall be determined by dividing the
Stated Value thereof by the Conversion Price then in effect.
Every reference herein to the COMMON STOCK of the Company (unless
a different intention is expressed) shall be to the shares of the
Common Stock of the Company, $.01 par value, as such stock exists
immediately after the issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares
provided for hereunder, or to stock into which such Common Stock
may be changed from time to time thereafter.
(b) The Conversion Price shall be eighty percent (80%)
(the "CONVERSION PERCENTAGE") of the Average Market Price (as
defined below) for the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive
trading days ending one trading day prior to the date the
Conversion Notice (as defined below) is received by the Company,
subject to adjustment as provided herein. If the registration
statement (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") covering the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred
Shares required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and initial
holders of the Series C Preferred Shares (the "REGISTRATION
RIGHTS AGREEMENT") has not been declared effective by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") within ninety (90)
days after the date of issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares,
or if, after the Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to the
Registration Statement by reason of stop order, the Company's
failure to update the Registration Statement in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the SEC or otherwise, or if the
Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
("NASDAQ") National Market System (the "NASDAQ-NMS"), the New
York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), the American Stock Exchange
(the "AMEX"), or the NASDAQ SmallCap Market (the "NASDAQ
SMALLCAP") then, as partial relief for the damages to the holder
by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to
sell the shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be
exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity,
except that such remedy shall be the exclusive remedy for any
delay in the effectiveness of the Registration Statement provided
the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC
within 180 days after the date of issuance of the Series C
Preferred Shares), the Conversion Percentage shall be reduced by
a number of percentage points equal to three (3) times the sum
of: (i) the number of months (prorated for partial months) after
the end of such 90 day period and prior to the date the
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC,
provided, however, that there shall be excluded from such period
(and from any period under clause (ii) immediately below) delays
which are attributable to changes in the Registration Statement
required by the Investors (as that term is defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement), including, without limitation,
changes in the plan of distribution; (ii) the number of months
(prorated for partial months) that sales cannot be made pursuant
to the Registration Statement (by reason of stop order, the
Company's failure to update the Registration or otherwise) after
the Registration Statement has been declared effective; and (iii)
the number of months (prorated for partial months) that the
Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the
NASDAQ-NMS, NYSE, AMEX, or NASDAQ SmallCap after the Registration
Statement has been declared effective; provided that the
aggregate number of months that are the basis of a reduction in
the Conversion Percentage pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) shall not exceed twelve (12). (For example, if
the Registration Statement becomes effective one and one-half
(1 1/2 ) months after the end of such 90 day period, the
Conversion Percentage would be 75.5% until any subsequent
adjustment; if thereafter sales could not be made pursuant to the
Registration Statement for a period of two (2) months, the
Conversion Percentage would then be 69.5%.) If the holder
converts Series C Preferred Shares into Common Stock and an
adjustment to the Conversion Percentage is required subsequent to
such conversion, but prior to the sale of such Common Stock by
such holder, the Company shall pay to such holder, within five
(5) days after receipt of a notice of the sale of such Common
Stock from such holder, an amount equal to the Average Market
Price of the Common Stock obtained upon conversion of such Series
C Preferred Shares for the five (5) trading days ending one (1)
trading day prior to the date of conversion multiplied by three-
hundredths (.03) times the number of months (prorated for partial
months) for which an adjustment was required; provided that the
aggregate number of months for which such an adjustment is
required (when added to the number of months for which an
adjustment is made pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above)
shall not exceed twelve (12). Such amount may be paid at the
Company's option in cash or Common Stock valued based on the
Average Market Price of the Common Stock for the period of five
(5) consecutive trading days ending on the date of the sale of
such Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any amounts due as to
that period during which the shares are not traded or included
for quotation on the NASDAQ-NMS, NYSE, AMEX or NASDAQ SmallCap
shall be paid in cash only; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that in
no event shall shares be issued hereunder if, after giving effect
to such issuance, the number of shares of Common Stock issued
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements or issued on
exercise of the Warrants or New Warrants or conversion of the
Series C Preferred Shares or Series B Preferred Shares and
beneficially owned by such holder and all Related Persons would
exceed four and ninety five hundredths percent (4.95%) of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated in accordance with
Sections 13(d) and 16); cash shall be paid in lieu of any shares
which cannot be issued pursuant to this second proviso. Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of Series C Preferred Shares,
Series B Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants or New
Warrants for the purchase of Common Stock held by such holder or
the Related Persons shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned
by such holder or the Related Persons for this purpose. (For
example, if the Conversion Percentage was 75.5% at the time of
conversion of $1,000,000 in Stated Value of Series C Preferred
Shares (such that the Series C Preferred Shares were converted
into Common Stock having an Average Market Price for the
applicable period in aggregate of $1,324,503) and subsequent to
conversion there was a further two (2) month delay in the
Registration Statement's being declared effective, and such
Common Stock was sold at the end of such two (2) month period,
the Company would pay to the holder $79,470.20 in cash or Common
Stock.)
"AVERAGE MARKET PRICE" of any security for any period
shall be computed as the arithmetic average of the closing bid
prices for such security for each trading day in such period on
the NASDAQ-NMS, or, if the NASDAQ-NMS is not the principal
trading market for such security, on the principal trading market
for such security, or, if market value cannot be calculated for
such period on any of the foregoing bases, the average fair
market value during such period as reasonably determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) If the Company shall consolidate with or merge
into any corporation or reclassify its outstanding shares of
Common Stock (other than by way of subdivision or reduction of
such shares) (each a "MAJOR TRANSACTION"), then each Series C
Preferred Share shall thereafter be convertible into the number
of shares of stock or securities (the "RESULTING SECURITIES") or
property of the Company, or of the entity resulting from such
consolidation or merger, to which a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of such Series C
Preferred Share would have been entitled upon such Major
Transaction had the holder of such Series C Preferred Share
exercised its right of conversion and had such Common Stock been
issued and outstanding and had such holder been the holder of
record of such Common Stock at the time of such Major
Transaction, and the Company shall make lawful provision therefor
as a part of such consolidation, merger or reclassification;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall give the holders of the
Series C Preferred Shares written notice of any Major Transaction
promptly upon the execution of any agreement whether or not
binding in connection therewith (including without limitation a
letter of intent or agreement in principle) and in no event shall
a Major Transaction be consummated prior to ninety (90) days
after such notice.
(d) The Company shall not issue any fraction of a
share of Common Stock upon any conversion, but shall pay in cash
therefor at the Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by
such fraction.
(e) On presentation and surrender to the Company (or
at any office or agency maintained for the transfer of the Series
C Preferred Shares) of the certificates of Series C Preferred
Shares so to be converted, duly endorsed in blank for transfer or
accompanied by proper instruments of assignment or transfer in
blank (a "CONVERSION NOTICE"), with signatures guaranteed, the
holder of such Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled,
subject to the limitations herein contained, to receive in
exchange therefor a certificate or certificates for fully paid
and nonassessable shares, which certificates shall be delivered
by the second trading day after the date of delivery of the
Conversion Notice, and cash for fractional shares, of Common
Stock on the foregoing basis. The Series C Preferred Shares
shall be deemed to have been converted, and the person converting
the same to have become the holder of record of Common Stock, for
all purposes as of the date of delivery of the Conversion Notice.
(f) The Company shall, so long as any of the Series C
Preferred Shares are outstanding, reserve and keep available out
of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred
Shares, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time
to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the
Series C Preferred Shares then outstanding.
(g) The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may
be imposed upon it with respect to the issuance and delivery of
Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares
as herein provided. The Company shall not be required in any
event to pay any transfer or other taxes by reason of the
issuance of such Common Stock in names other than those in which
the Series C Preferred Shares surrendered for conversion are
registered on the Company's records, and no such conversion or
issuance of Common Stock shall be made unless and until the
person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the
amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of
the Company and its transfer agent, if any, that such tax has
been paid.
(3) VOTING RIGHTS. Holders of Series C Preferred Shares
shall have no voting rights, except as required by law and by
Section 7 hereof.
(4) REDEMPTION. The Company may, but shall not be
obligated to, at any time subsequent to ninety (90) days after
the issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares, redeem the whole
or any part of the Series C Preferred Shares then outstanding at
a redemption price of $127 per Preferred Share, in accordance
with the following redemption procedures:
(a) In case of redemption of only part of
the Series C Preferred Shares at any time outstanding, the Company shall
designate the amount of Series C Preferred Shares so to be redeemed and
shall redeem such Series C Preferred Shares on a PRO RATA basis. Subject to
the limitations and provisions herein contained, the Board of Directors
shall have the power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions
upon which the Series C Preferred Shares shall be redeemed from time to time.
(a) Notice of every redemption shall be given by mail
to every holder of record of any Series C Preferred Shares then
to be redeemed, at least thirty (30), but no more than ninety
(90), days prior to the date fixed as the date for the redemption
thereof, at the respective addresses of such holders as the same
shall appear on the stock transfer books of the Company. The
notice shall state that the Series C Preferred Shares shall be
redeemed by the Company at the redemption price specified above,
upon the surrender for cancellation, at the time and place
designated in such notice, of the certificates representing the
Series C Preferred Shares to be redeemed, properly endorsed in
blank for transfer, or accompanied by proper instruments of
assignment and transfer in blank, with signatures guaranteed, and
bearing all necessary transfer tax stamps thereto affixed and
cancelled. On and after the date specified in the notice
described above, each holder of Series C Preferred Shares called
for redemption shall be entitled to receive therefor the
specified redemption price upon presentation and surrender at the
place designated in such notice of the certificates for Series C
Preferred Shares called for redemption, properly endorsed in
blank for transfer or accompanied by proper instruments of
assignment or transfer in blank, with signatures guaranteed, and
bearing all necessary transfer tax stamps thereto affixed and
cancelled.
(b) If the Company shall give notice of redemption as
aforesaid (and unless the Company shall fail to pay the
redemption price of the Series C Preferred Shares presented for
redemption in accordance with such notice), all Series C
Preferred Shares called for redemption shall be deemed to have
been redeemed on the date specified in such notice, whether or
not the certificates for such Series C Preferred Shares shall be
surrendered for redemption, and such Series C Preferred Shares so
called for redemption shall from and after such date cease to
represent any interest whatsoever in the Company or its property,
and the holders thereof shall have no rights other than the right
to receive such redemption price without any interest thereof
from and after such date.
(5) LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION, WINDING UP. In the event of
any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Company, the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares
shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the
Company, whether from capital or from earnings, available for
distribution to its stockholders (the "PREFERRED FUNDS"), before
any amount shall be paid to the holders of the Common Stock, an
amount equal to the Stated Value per Series C Preferred Share,
provided that, if the Preferred Funds are insufficient to pay the
full amount due to the holders of Series C Preferred Shares and
holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred stock
of the Company that are of equal rank with the Series C Preferred
Shares as to payments of Preferred Funds (the "PARI PASSU
SHARES"), then each holder of Series C Preferred Shares and Pari
Passu Shares shall receive a percentage of the Preferred Funds
equal to the full amount of Preferred Funds payable to such
holder as a percentage of the full amount of Preferred Funds
payable to all holders of Series C Preferred Shares and Pari
Passu Shares. The purchase or redemption by the Company of
stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not,
for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company. Neither the
consolidation nor merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation or corporations, nor the sale or transfer by the
Company of less than substantially all of its assets, shall, for
the purposes hereof, be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company. No holder of Series C Preferred
Shares shall be entitled to receive any amounts with respect
thereto upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company other than the amounts provided for herein.
(6) PREFERRED RANK. All shares of Common Stock shall be of
junior rank to all Series C Preferred Shares in respect to the
preferences as to distributions and payments upon the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The
rights of the shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the
preferences and relative rights of the Series C Preferred Shares.
The Series C Preferred Shares shall be of equal rank with the
Company's Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and the
Series B Preferred Shares in respect of distributions and
payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may
authorize and issue additional or other preferred stock which is
of equal or junior rank with the Series C Preferred Shares in
respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon
the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that for so long as the Series C Preferred
Shares remain outstanding the Company shall not issue any capital
stock which is more senior in rank than the Series C Preferred
Shares in respect of the foregoing preferences. In the event of
the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation, the Series C Preferred Shares shall
maintain their relative powers, designations and preferences
provided for herein.
(7) VOTE TO CHANGE THE TERMS OF SERIES C PREFERRED SHARES.
The affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or
the written consent without a meeting of the holders of not less
than two-thirds (2/3) of the then outstanding Series C Preferred
Shares shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal any of
the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Series C
Preferred Shares.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE 200,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. VOID AFTER 5:00
P.M. NEW JERSEY TIME, ON MARCH 15, 2001. THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE BEEN AND WILL BE ISSUED
IN TRANSACTIONS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY
LAWS. THIS WARRANT AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED,
HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN THE ABSENCE
OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
LAW, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
NO. ________________ 200,000 SHARES
ENZON, INC.
This certifies that, for value received, GFL Performance Fund Ltd.,
the registered holder hereof, or assigns (the "WARRANTHOLDER") is entitled
to purchase from Enzon, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), at
any time on and after the earlier of the date the Registration Statement
(filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to
Section 2(a) of a certain Registration Rights Agreement of even date
herewith by and among the parties hereto) is declared effective by the SEC
or seventy (70) days from the date of issuance of this Warrant and before
5:00 p.m., New Jersey time, on March 15, 2001 (the "TERMINATION DATE"), at
the purchase price of $5.625 per share (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), the number
of shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"),
of the Company set forth above (the "WARRANT STOCK"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that in no event shall the Warrantholder be entitled to exercise this
Warrant if, after giving effect to such exercise, the number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Warrantholder and all other holders
of Common Stock whose holdings would be aggregated with the Warrantholder
for purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in accordance with
Sections 13(d) and 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and the regulations thereunder ("SECTIONS 13(D) AND 16"), including without
limitation any person serving as an adviser to any holder (collectively,
the "RELATED PERSONS"), would exceed four and ninety five-hundredths
percent (4.95%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated in
accordance with Sections 13(d) and 16). The Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of shares of the Company's preferred stock or exercise of
warrants for the purchase of Common Stock held by the Warrantholder or the
Related Persons shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the
Warrantholder or such Related Persons for this purpose. The number of
shares of Warrant Stock, the Termination Date and the Exercise Price per
share of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
set forth below.
SECTION I. TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE OF WARRANT
The Company shall be entitled to treat the Warrantholder as the owner
in fact hereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any
equitable or other claim to or interest in this Warrant on the part of any
other person. This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the
Company, maintained at its principal office, upon delivery of this Warrant
Certificate duly endorsed by the Warrantholder or by its duly authorized
attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of
succession, assignment or authority to transfer. Upon any registration of
transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Warrant Certificate or
Certificates to the persons entitled thereto.
SECTION II. TERM OF WARRANT; EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
A. TERMINATION. The Company may, in its sole discretion, extend the
Termination Date with respect to the exercise of this Warrant upon notice
to the Warrantholder. As used herein, "TERMINATION DATE" shall be deemed
to include any such extensions.
B. EXERCISE. This Warrant shall be exercised by surrender to the
Company, at its principal office, of this Warrant Certificate, together
with the Purchase Form attached hereto duly completed and signed, and upon
payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of shares of
Warrant Stock in respect of which this Warrant is then exercised. Payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be made in cash or by certified or
official bank check.
C. WARRANT CERTIFICATE. Subject to Section III hereof, upon such
surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price as
aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered to or upon the
written order of the Warrantholder, by the second trading day after
exercise, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of
Warrant Stock so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrant, together with
cash, as provided in Section VI hereof, in respect of any fractional shares
of Warrant Stock otherwise issuable upon such surrender. Such certificate
or certificates representing the Warrant Stock shall be deemed to have been
issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to
have become a holder of record of such shares of Warrant Stock as of the
date of receipt by the Company of this Warrant Certificate and payment of
the Exercise Price as aforesaid; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if, at the date of
surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price,
the transfer books for the Warrant Stock or other class of stock
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be closed, the
certificate or certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock in respect of
which this Warrant is then exercised shall be deemed issuable as of the
date on which such books shall next be opened (whether before or after the
Termination Date) and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to
deliver any certificate for such shares of Warrant Stock; PROVIDED FURTHER,
HOWEVER, that the transfer books of record, unless otherwise required by
law, shall not be closed at any one time for a period longer than twenty
(20) days. The rights of purchase represented by this Warrant shall be
exercisable, at the election of the Warrantholder, either in full or from
time to time in part, and, in the event that this Warrant is exercised in
respect of fewer than all of the shares of Warrant Stock purchasable on
such exercise at any time prior to the Termination Date, a new Warrant
Certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued,
and the Company shall deliver the new Warrant Certificate or Certificates
pursuant to the provisions of this Section.
SECTION III. PAYMENT OF TAXES
The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable
to the initial issuance of the shares of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of
this Warrant; provided, however, that the Warrantholder shall pay any tax
or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issue or delivery of Warrant Certificates or the certificates for the
shares of Warrant Stock in a name other than that of the Warrantholder in
respect of which this Warrant or shares of Warrant Stock are issued.
SECTION IV. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATES
In case this Warrant Certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall, at the request of the Warrantholder, issue
and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of this
certificate if mutilated, or in lieu of and in substitution for this
certificate if lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like
tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction of this Warrant Certificate and indemnity, if
requested, also reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
SECTION V. RESERVATION OF SHARES OF WARRANT STOCK.
There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep
reserved so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, out of its authorized
Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for
the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant. The
transfer agent for the Common Stock and every subsequent transfer agent for
any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to
reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be requisite for such
purpose.
SECTION VI. FRACTIONAL SHARES.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of
a share called for upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay
to the Warrantholder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price then in effect.
SECTION VII. ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.
A. COMPUTATION OF ADJUSTED EXERCISE PRICE. Except as hereinafter
provided, in case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof (i)
issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (except in those instances
referred to in subsection F of this Section VII), including shares held in
the Company's treasury and shares issued upon the exercise of any option,
rights or warrants (with the exception of this Warrant and any other
options and warrants outstanding on the date hereof, and without
duplicating any adjustments pursuant to clause (ii) below) and shares
issued upon the direct or indirect conversion or exchange of securities for
shares of Common Stock (with the exception of the Company's Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the
"PREFERRED STOCK"), and without duplicating any adjustments pursuant to
clause (ii) below) for a consideration per share less than the Market Price
(as hereinafter defined) on the trading day immediately prior to the date
of issuance or sale of such share or without consideration, or (ii) issue
any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase or otherwise
acquire Common Stock (the "OPTION SECURITIES") or any evidences of
indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities (other than the Preferred
Stock) which are convertible into or exchangeable, with or without payment
of consideration, for shares of Common Stock (the "CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES"), whether or not the right to exercise such Option Securities
or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities is immediately
exercisable or is conditioned upon the passage of time, the occurrence or
non-occurrence of some other event, or both, for a consideration per share
of Common Stock (calculated in accordance with subsections A(iii) and A(iv)
of this Article VII) less than the Market Price on the trading day
immediately prior to the date of issuance of such Option Securities or
Convertible Securities, then forthwith upon such issuance or sale the
Exercise Price shall (until another such issuance or sale) be reduced to a
price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price immediately prior to such issuance or sale by a fraction,
the numerator of which is an amount equal to the sum of (X) the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
issuance or sale, multiplied by the Market Price in effect immediately
prior to such issuance or sale, plus (Y) the aggregate of the amount of all
consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance or sale,
and the denominator of which is the Market Price in effect immediately
prior to such issuance or sale multiplied by the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted pursuant to
this computation to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such computation, except in the case of a combination
of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as provided by subsection B of this
Section VII.
For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with this
subsection A, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(i) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock
for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount of the
cash consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of the cash
received by the Company for such shares (or, if shares are offered by the
Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, if sold to
underwriters or dealers the public offering price) before deducting
therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in the sale,
underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or others
performing similar services, or any expenses incurred in connection
therewith.
(ii) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a
dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company) of shares of
Common Stock for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than
cash, the amount of the consideration therefor other than cash shall be
deemed to be the value of such consideration as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company.
(iii)In case of the issuance of Convertible Securities (other
than the Convertible Securities described in (iv) below), the aggregate
consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the consideration, if
any, received by the Company for the issuance of such Convertible
Securities, plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be
received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof.
(iv) In the case of the issuance of Option Securities, the
aggregate consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the
consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issuance of such
Option Securities, plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be
received by the Company upon the exercise thereof.
(v) Shares of Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other
distribution on any stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been
issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or other distribution and shall be deemed to have been issued
without consideration.
(vi) The reclassification of securities of the Company, other
than shares of Common Stock into securities including shares of Common
Stock, shall be deemed to involve the issuance of such shares for a
consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close of business on
the date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to
receive such shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such
shares shall be determined as provided in subsection (ii) of this
subsection A.
(vii) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time
outstanding shall include the aggregate number of shares issued or issuable
(subject to readjustment upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the
exercise of outstanding options, rights, warrants and upon the conversion
or exchange of outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities.
"MARKET PRICE," as of any date, (i) means the average of the last
reported sale prices for the shares of Common Stock as reported by National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation National Market
System ("NASDAQ-NMS") for five consecutive trading days, or (ii) if the
NASDAQ-NMS 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, or (iii) if
market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing
bases, the Market Price shall be the average fair market value as
reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
B. SUBDIVISION AND COMBINATION. In case the Company shall at any
time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of
subdivision or increased in case of combination.
C. ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section VII, the number
of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be adjusted to the nearest full share by multiplying a number equal to the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number
of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained
by the adjusted Exercise Price.
D. RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case of any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other
than a change in par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of
any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
except a change as a result of a subdivision or combination of such shares
or a change in par value, as aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or
conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of the
property of the Company, the Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right
to purchase upon the exercise of this Warrant the kind and number of shares
of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance as if
the Warrantholder were the owner of the shares of Warrant Stock underlying
this Warrant immediately prior to any such events at the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to the record date for such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance as if such Warrantholder
had exercised this Warrant.
E. SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT. If the purchase price provided for in any
Option Securities, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the
conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities or the rate at which
any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock shall change, or if any Option Securities or Convertible Securities
terminate in whole or in part without being exercised, converted or
exchanged, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event shall
forthwith be readjusted. The Exercise Price shall be adjusted to that
amount which would have been in effect at such time had such Option
Securities or Convertible Securities outstanding at such time initially
been granted, issued or sold and the Exercise Price initially adjusted as
provided in subsection A of this Article VII, except that the minimum
amount of additional consideration payable and the total maximum number of
shares issuable shall be determined after giving effect to such event (and
any prior event or events).
F. NO ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE IN CERTAIN CASES. No adjustment
of the Exercise Price shall be made:
(i) Upon the issuance or sale of this Warrant or the shares of
Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Warrants
dated February 7, 1996, or the issuance or sale of the Preferred Stock, or
upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with the
conversion of such Preferred Stock, or the issuance of shares of Common
Stock pursuant to Section 2(c) of the Registration Rights Agreements of
even date herewith and January 31, 1996, respectively, by and among the
Company and the Buyer and pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Certificate of
Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock and of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company;
(ii) Upon the issuance of options, or shares upon the exercise
thereof, pursuant to the Company's Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, or any
amendment or successor plan thereto;
(iii) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less than one
cent ($.01) per share; provided, however, that in such case any adjustment
that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward
and shall be made at the time of and together with any adjustment so
carried forward, shall amount to at least one cent ($.01) per Share;
(iv) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock or
securities which are exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock
to employees of the Company or its affiliates, under an Employee Stock
Purchase or Option Plan;
(v) Upon the issuance of any Option Securities or the issuance
of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise thereof, where such Option
Security option, right or warrant was issued for a consideration price per
share of Common Stock initially deliverable upon exercise of such Option
Security equal to or greater than the Market Price in effect immediately
prior to the issuance or sale of such Option Security;
(vi) Upon the issuance of securities convertible into Common
Stock, where the conversion price is equal to or greater than the Market
Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such securities; or
(vii)Upon the issuance of Common Stock to non-management
directors of the Company in an amount up to Twelve Thousand Dollars
($12,000) per such director per year, based upon such method of valuation
as may be established from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors
in its reasonable discretion.

before June 13, 1996 or if, after the Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to the
Registration Statement (by reason of stop order, the Company's failure to
update the Registration Statement as required by SEC rules and regulations
or otherwise), or if the Common Stock is not listed or included for
quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotation (the "NASDAQ") National Market System (the "NASDAQ-NMS"), the New
York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX")
or the NASDAQ SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ SMALLCAP"), then the Company will
make payments to the Investors in such amounts and at such times as shall
be determined pursuant to this Section 2(c) as partial relief for the
damages to the Investors by reason of any such delay in or reduction of
their ability to sell the Registrable Securities (which remedy shall not be
exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, except that
such remedy shall be the exclusive remedy for delay in the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement provided that the Registration Statement is
declared effective by the SEC within 180 days after March 15, 1996). The
Company shall pay to each holder of Registerable Securities an amount equal
to the Average Market Price (as defined below) of the Common Stock during
the five (5) consecutive trading days ending one (1) trading day prior to
March 15, 1996 (the "CLOSING DATE AVERAGE MARKET PRICE") multiplied by
three-hundredths (.03) times the sum of: (i) the number of months (prorated
for partial months) after June 13, 1996 and prior to the date the
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, provided, however,
that there shall be excluded from such period (and from any period under
clause (ii) immediately below) delays which are attributable to changes
required by the Investors in the Registration Statement, including, without
limitation, changes to the plan of distribution; (ii) the number of months
(prorated for partial months) that sales cannot be made pursuant to the
Registration Statement after the Registration Statement has been declared
effective; and (iii) the number of months (prorated for partial months)
that the Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the
NASDAQ-NMS, NYSE, AMEX or NASDAQ SmallCap after the Registration Statement
has been declared effective; provided that the aggregate number of months
for which payments shall be made pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
above shall not exceed twelve (12). (For example, if the Registration
Statement becomes effective one and one-half (1 1/2 ) months after June 13,
1996, the Company would pay $45,000 for each $1,000,000 of Closing Date
Average Market Price until any subsequent adjustment; if thereafter, sales
could not be made pursuant to the Registration Statement for a period of
two (2) months, the Company would pay an additional $60,000 for each
$1,000,000 of Closing Date Average Market Price.) Such amounts may be paid
at the Company's option in cash or Common Stock (the "DAMAGE SHARES," which
term shall include shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to
Section 2(b) of the Certificate of Designation) valued based on the Average
Market Price for the period (a "DAMAGE PRICING PERIOD") of five (5)
consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date that
the Registration Statement is declared effective or that sales can be
resumed under the Registration Statement, as applicable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
any amounts due as to any Damage Pricing Period during which the
Registrable Securities not listed or included for quotation on the NASDAQ-
NMS, NYSE, AMEX or NASDAQ SmallCap shall be paid in cash only; and PROVIDED
FURTHER, HOWEVER, that in no event shall Damage Shares be paid hereunder
if, after giving effect to such payment, the number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by such holder and all other holders whose
holdings would be aggregated with such holder for purposes of calculating
beneficial ownership in accordance with Sections 13(d) and 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder
("SECTIONS 13(D) AND 16"), including, without limitation, any person
serving as an adviser to any holder (collectively, the "RELATED PERSONS"),
would exceed four and ninety five-hundredths percent (4.95%) of outstanding
shares of Common Stock (calculated in accordance with Sections 13(d) and
16); cash shall be paid for any Damage Shares which cannot be issued
pursuant to this proviso. Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Series C Preferred Shares or Series B Preferred Shares or exercise of the
Warrants held by such holder or the Related Persons shall not be deemed to
be beneficially owned by such holder or the Related Persons for this
purpose. Payments of cash or issuances of Damage Shares pursuant hereto
shall be made within five (5) days after the end of each period that gives
rise to such obligation, provided that, if any such period extends for more
than thirty (30) days, interim payments shall be made for each such thirty
(30) day period with the interim payment (if paid in Damage Shares) based
on the last five (5) trading days of such thirty (30) day period. In
addition to the payments provided herein, the Company shall provide an
adjustment to the Conversion Percentage (as that term is defined in the
Certificate of Designation) and pay the amounts specified in Section 2(b)
of the Certificate of Designation. "AVERAGE MARKET PRICE" of any security
for any period shall be computed as the arithmetic average of the closing
bid prices for such security for each trading day in such period on the
NASDAQ-NMS, or, if the NASDAQ-NMS is not the principal trading market for
such security, on the principal trading market for such security, or, if
market value cannot be calculated for such period on any of the foregoing
bases, the Average Market Price shall be the average fair market value
during such period as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
d. PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS. If at any time prior to the
expiration of the Registration Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company
shall file with the SEC a Registration Statement relating to an offering
for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of
its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then
equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection
with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities
issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans)
the Company shall send to each Investor who is entitled to registration
rights under this Section 2(d) written notice of such determination and, if
within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, such Investor shall
so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration
Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities such Investor
requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any
underwritten public offering for the account of the Company the managing
underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of
Common Stock which may be included in the Registration Statement because,
in such underwriter(s)' judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such
limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company
shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such
limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which such
Investor has requested inclusion hereunder; provided that no portion of the
equity securities which the Company is offering for its own account shall
be excluded; PROVIDED, FURTHER that the Company shall be entitled to
exclude Registrable Securities to the extent necessary to avoid breaching
obligations existing prior to the date hereof to other stockholders of the
Company. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata
among the Investors seeking to include Registrable Securities, in
proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by
such Investors; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not exclude any
Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all
outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled to inclusion
of such securities in such Registration Statement or are not entitled to
pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and PROVIDED, FURTHER,
HOWEVER, that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso,
any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders
of other securities having the right to include such securities in the
Registration Statement other than holders of securities entitled to
inclusion of their securities in such Registration Statement by reason of
demand registration rights. No right to registration of Registrable
Securities under this Section 2(d) shall be construed to limit any
registration required under Section 2(a) hereof. The obligations of the
Company under this Section 2(d) may be waived by Investors holding a
majority in interest of the Registrable Securities. If an offering in
connection with which an Investor is entitled to registration under this
Section 2(d) is an underwritten offering, then each Investor whose
Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement shall,
unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable
Securities in an underwritten offering using the same underwriter or
underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same
terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such
underwritten offering.
e. ELIGIBILITY FOR FORM S-3. The Company represents and
warrants that it meets the requirements for the use of Form S-3 for
registration of the sale by the Buyer and any other Investor of the
Registrable Securities and the Company shall file all reports required to
be filed by the Company with the SEC in a timely manner so as to maintain
such eligibility for the use of Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is
not available for the sale by the Investors of the Registrable Securities,
the Company shall register the sale on another appropriate form.
3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.
In connection with the registration of the Registrable
Securities, the Company shall have the following obligations:
a. The Company shall prepare promptly, and file with the
SEC not later than April 15, 1996, a Registration Statement or an amendment
to the Tranche I Registration Statement with respect to the number of
Registrable Securities provided in Section 2(a), and thereafter to use its
best efforts to cause each Registration Statement relating to Registrable
Securities to become effective as soon as possible after such filing, and
keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times
until such date as is the earlier of (i) at least three (3) years after the
date of the expiration of all the Warrants, or (ii) the date on which (a)
all of the Warrants have been exercised or expired, (b) no Registrable
Securities are held by any Investor, and (c) none of the Series C Preferred
Shares is outstanding (the "REGISTRATION PERIOD"), which Registration
Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses
contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in
which they were made, not misleading.
b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the
Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration
Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and,
during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect
to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by
the Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable
Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the
Registration Statement.
c. The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose
Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement and its
legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly
distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company, one copy of
the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary
prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and, in
the case of the Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a), each
letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of
the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the
SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any
portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has
sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and
supplements thereto and such other documents as such Investor may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
d. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to (i)
register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such
jurisdictions in the United States as the Investors who hold a majority in
interest of the Registrable Securities being offered reasonably request,
(ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and
qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof
during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be
necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at
all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions
reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for
sale in such jurisdictions; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not
be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (a)
qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (b) subject itself to
general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (c) file a general consent to
service of process in any such jurisdiction, (d) provide any undertakings
that cause more than nominal expense or burden to the Company, or (e) make
any change in its charter or bylaws, which in each case the Board of
Directors of the Company determines to be contrary to the best interests of
the Company and its stockholders.
e. In the event Investors who hold a majority in interest
of the Registrable Securities being offered in the offering select
underwriters for the offering, the Company shall enter into and perform its
obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form,
including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution
obligations, with the underwriters of such offering. The incremental costs
incident to such an underwritten offering shall be paid by the
participating Investors pro rata based on the number of Registrable
Securities sold by them.
f. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such
event, the Company shall notify each Investor of the happening of any
event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the
prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, and use its best efforts promptly to prepare a
supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement to correct such
untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such
supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably
request.
g. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the
issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a
Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the
withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and to notify each
Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of
an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of
such order and the resolution thereof.
h. The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel,
designated as selling stockholders' counsel by the Investors who hold a
majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being sold, to review
the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto a
reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file
any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects.
i. The Company shall make generally available to its
security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days
after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in
form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering
a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the
Company's fiscal quarter next following the effective date of the
Registration Statement.
j. At the request of the Investors who hold a majority in
interest of the Registrable Securities being sold, the Company shall
furnish, on the date that Registrable Securities are delivered to an
underwriter, if any, for sale in connection with the Registration Statement
(i) if required by an underwriter, a letter, dated such date, from the
Company's independent certified public accountants in form and substance as
is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the
underwriters, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, from counsel
representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in
form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public
offering, addressed to the underwriters and the Investors.
k. The Company shall make available for inspection by (i)
any Investor, (ii) any underwriter participating in any disposition
pursuant to the Registration Statement, (iii) one firm of attorneys and one
firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Buyer, (iv) one firm of
attorneys and one firm of accountants or other agents retained by all other
Investors, and (v) one firm of attorneys retained by all such underwriters
(collectively, the "INSPECTORS") all pertinent financial and other records,
and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company
(collectively, the "RECORDS"), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by
each Inspector to enable each Inspector to exercise its due diligence
responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees
to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request for
purposes of such due diligence; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each Inspector
shall hold in confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an
Investor) of any Record or other information which the Company determines
in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors
are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to
avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement,
(b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other
order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the
information in such Records has been made generally available to the public
other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The
Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential information in
such Records to any Inspector until and unless such Inspector shall have
entered into confidentiality agreements (in form and substance satisfactory
to the Company) with the Company with respect thereto, substantially in the
form of this Section 3(k). Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon
learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or
governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give
prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to
undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a
protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.
l. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any
disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company
hereof unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply
with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such
information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in
any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is
ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental
body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made
generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of
this or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon
learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is
sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or
through other means, give prompt notice to such Investor, and allow the
Investor, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent
disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
m. The Company shall use its best efforts either to (i)
cause all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement
to be listed on a national securities exchange and on each additional
national securities exchange on which securities of the same class or
series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of
such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such
exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement on the NASDAQ-NMS or, if,
despite the Company's best efforts to satisfy the preceding clause (i) or
(ii), the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clause (i) or
(ii), to secure the inclusion for quotation on the NASDAQ SmallCap for such
Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") as such with
respect to such Registrable Securities.
n. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and
registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities,
and CUSIP numbers therefor, not later than the effective date of the
Registration Statement.
o. The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold
Registrable Securities being offered and the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to
the Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such
denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the managing underwriter
or underwriters, if any, or the Investors may reasonably request and
registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if
any, or the Investors may request. No later than the effective date of any
Registration Statement registering the resale of Registrable Securities,
the Company shall deliver to its transfer agent instructions, accompanied
by any reasonably required opinion of counsel, that (i) permit sales of
legended securities in a timely fashion that complies with then mandated
securities settlement procedures for regular way market transactions; and
(ii) upon the exercise of Warrants or conversion of Series C Preferred
Shares and the contemporaneous resale, pursuant to a Registration
Statement, of the applicable Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares, permit
the issuance of stock certificates without restrictive legends to the
transferees of such Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares.
p. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions
necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investors of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS.
In connection with the registration of the Registrable
Securities, the Investors shall have the following obligations:
a. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with
respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such
Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself,
the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of
disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably
required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and
shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the
Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) days prior to the first
anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall
notify each investor of the information the Company requires from each such
Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor's Registrable
Securities included in the Registration Statement.
b. Each Investor by such Investor's acceptance of the
Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of
the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the
Company in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such
Investor's Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement.
c. In the event Investors holding a majority in interest
of the Registrable Securities being registered determine to engage the
services of an underwriter, each Investor agrees to enter into and perform
such Investor's obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification
and contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter of such
offering and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to
expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities,
unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor's
election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities from the
Registration Statement. The incremental costs incident to such an
underwritten offering shall be paid by the Investor to the extent provided
in Section 3(e).
d. Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice
from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 3(f) or 3(g), such Investor will immediately discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(f) or 3(g) and, if so directed by the Company,
such Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company)
or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all
copies in such Investor's possession, of the prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
e. No Investor may participate in any underwritten
registration hereunder unless such Investor (i) agrees to sell such
Investor's Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Investors entitled hereunder to approve such
arrangements, (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, and
(iii) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all underwriting discounts and
commissions.
5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and
commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation,
all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting
fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the fees
and disbursements of one (1) firm of counsel for the Investors, shall be
borne by the Company.
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement:
a. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) each Investor who holds such
Registrable Securities, (ii) the directors, officers and each person who
controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 ACT"), if any, and (iii) any
underwriter (as defined in the 1933 Act) for the Investors; and the
directors, officers and each person who controls any such underwriter
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, if any, (each, an
"INDEMNIFIED PERSON"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses (joint or several) (collectively, "CLAIMS") to which any of them
may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact in a Registration Statement or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such
Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or
supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein
any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not
misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation relating to the
offer or sale of the Registrable Securities by the Company of the 1933 Act,
the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state
securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder (the matters in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, "VIOLATIONS").
Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(d) with respect to the
number of legal counsel, the Company shall reimburse the Investors and each
such underwriter or controlling person, promptly as such expenses are
incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other
reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such Claim, subject to the provisions of Section 6(d).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not
apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to
the Company by any Indemnified Person or underwriter for such Indemnified
Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto,
if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to
Section 3(c) hereof; (ii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall
not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting
any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject
thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the
untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary
prospectus was corrected in the prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company
pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof; (iii) shall not be available to the extent
such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to
be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company; and (iv) shall
not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable
Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
b. In connection with any Registration Statement in which
an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in
Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, any underwriter
and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls
such stockholder or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the
1934 Act (collectively and together with an indemnified Person, an
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), against any Claim to which any of them may become
subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such
Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the
extent (and only to the extent) that such violation occurs in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement;
and such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
Claim; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if
such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such
Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; PROVIDED,
FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b)
for only that amount of a Claim as does not exceed the net proceeds to such
Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable
Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained
in this Section 6(b) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not
inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or
omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was
corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented.
c. The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnities
from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities
industry professionals participating in any distribution, to the same
extent as provided above, with respect to information such persons so
furnished in writing by such persons expressly for inclusion in the
Registration Statement.
d. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any
action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to made against
any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying
party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying
party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the
indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person
or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its
own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying
party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the
indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by
such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall pay for only one
separate legal counsel for the Investors, and such legal counsel shall be
selected by the Investors holding a majority in interest of the Registrable
Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim
relates. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person
or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic
payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or
defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due
and payable.
7. CONTRIBUTION.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the
maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would
otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) no contribution shall be made under
circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for
indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6, (ii) no
seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii) contribution by any seller
of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of
proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable
Securities.
8. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.
With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of
Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the investors to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration ("RULE 144"),
the Company agrees to:
a. make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the Exchange
Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being
understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under
Section 4(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such
reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of
Rule 144; and
c. furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns
Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by
the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule
144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual
or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so
filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably
requested to permit the investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule
144 without registration.
9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
The rights to have the Company register Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the
Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of Registrable Securities
if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to
assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the
Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company
is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished
with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or
assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration
rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) immediately following such
transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the
transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act and applicable
state securities laws, (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the
written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee
or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the
provisions contained herein, (v) such transfer shall have been made in
accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, and (vi) such transferee shall be an "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" as
that term defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933
Act.
10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance
thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and
either retroactively or prospectively), only with written consent of the
Company and Investors who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable
Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this
Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
a. A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of
Registrable Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record such
Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions,
notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to
the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of
instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such
Registrable Securities.

personally delivered (by hand, by courier, by telephone line facsimile
transmission or other means) or sent by certified mail, return receipt

WARRANT TO PURCHASE 200,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. VOID AFTER
5:00 P.M. NEW JERSEY TIME, ON MARCH 15, 2001. THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE BEEN AND WILL BE
ISSUED IN TRANSACTIONS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE
SKY LAWS. THIS WARRANT AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN THE
ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE
STATE LAW, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
NO. ______6_________ 200,000 SHARES
ENZON, INC.
This certifies that, for value received, GFL Performance Fund
Ltd., the registered holder hereof, or assigns (the "WARRANTHOLDER") is
entitled to purchase from Enzon, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"COMPANY"), at any time on and after the earlier of the date the
Registration Statement (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") pursuant to Section 2(a) of a certain Registration Rights
Agreement of even date herewith by and among the parties hereto) is
declared effective by the SEC or seventy (70) days from the date of
issuance of this Warrant and before 5:00 p.m., New Jersey time, on March
15, 2001 (the "TERMINATION DATE"), at the purchase price of $5.625 per
share (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), the number of shares of Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), of the Company set forth above
(the "WARRANT STOCK"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the
Warrantholder be entitled to exercise this Warrant if, after giving effect
to such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by the Warrantholder and all other holders of Common Stock whose holdings
would be aggregated with the Warrantholder for purposes of calculating
beneficial ownership in accordance with Sections 13(d) and 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder
("SECTIONS 13(D) AND 16"), including without limitation any person serving
as an adviser to any holder (collectively, the "RELATED PERSONS"), would
exceed four and ninety five-hundredths percent (4.95%) of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (calculated in accordance with Sections 13(d) and
16). The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of the Company's
preferred stock or exercise of warrants for the purchase of Common Stock
held by the Warrantholder or the Related Persons shall not be deemed to be
beneficially owned by the Warrantholder or such Related Persons for this
purpose. The number of shares of Warrant Stock, the Termination Date and
the Exercise Price per share of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as set forth below.
SECTION I. TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE OF WARRANT
The Company shall be entitled to treat the Warrantholder as the
owner in fact hereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize
any equitable or other claim to or interest in this Warrant on the part of
any other person. This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of
the Company, maintained at its principal office, upon delivery of this
Warrant Certificate duly endorsed by the Warrantholder or by its duly
authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of
succession, assignment or authority to transfer. Upon any registration of
transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Warrant Certificate or
Certificates to the persons entitled thereto.
SECTION II. TERM OF WARRANT; EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
A. TERMINATION. The Company may, in its sole discretion,
extend the Termination Date with respect to the exercise of this Warrant
upon notice to the Warrantholder. As used herein, "TERMINATION DATE" shall
be deemed to include any such extensions.
B. EXERCISE. This Warrant shall be exercised by surrender to
the Company, at its principal office, of this Warrant Certificate, together
with the Purchase Form attached hereto duly completed and signed, and upon
payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of shares of
Warrant Stock in respect of which this Warrant is then exercised. Payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be made in cash or by certified or
official bank check.
C. WARRANT CERTIFICATE. Subject to Section III hereof, upon
such surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise
Price as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered to or
upon the written order of the Warrantholder, by the second trading day
after exercise, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares
of Warrant Stock so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrant, together
with cash, as provided in Section VI hereof, in respect of any fractional
shares of Warrant Stock otherwise issuable upon such surrender. Such
certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Stock shall be deemed
to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall
be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Warrant Stock
as of the date of receipt by the Company of this Warrant Certificate and
payment of the Exercise Price as aforesaid; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if, at
the date of surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the
Exercise Price, the transfer books for the Warrant Stock or other class of
stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be closed, the
certificate or certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock in respect of
which this Warrant is then exercised shall be deemed issuable as of the
date on which such books shall next be opened (whether before or after the
Termination Date) and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to
deliver any certificate for such shares of Warrant Stock; PROVIDED FURTHER,
HOWEVER, that the transfer books of record, unless otherwise required by
law, shall not be closed at any one time for a period longer than twenty
(20) days. The rights of purchase represented by this Warrant shall be
exercisable, at the election of the Warrantholder, either in full or from
time to time in part, and, in the event that this Warrant is exercised in
respect of fewer than all of the shares of Warrant Stock purchasable on
such exercise at any time prior to the Termination Date, a new Warrant
Certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued,
and the Company shall deliver the new Warrant Certificate or Certificates
pursuant to the provisions of this Section.
SECTION III. PAYMENT OF TAXES
The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any,
attributable to the initial issuance of the shares of Warrant Stock upon
the exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Warrantholder
shall pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue or delivery of Warrant Certificates or the
certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock in a name other than that of
the Warrantholder in respect of which this Warrant or shares of Warrant
Stock are issued.
SECTION IV. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATES
In case this Warrant Certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall, at the request of the Warrantholder, issue
and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of this
certificate if mutilated, or in lieu of and in substitution for this
certificate if lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like
tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction of this Warrant Certificate and indemnity, if
requested, also reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
SECTION V. RESERVATION OF SHARES OF WARRANT STOCK.
There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep
reserved so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, out of its authorized
Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for
the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant. The
transfer agent for the Common Stock and every subsequent transfer agent for
any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to
reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be requisite for such
purpose.
SECTION VI. FRACTIONAL SHARES.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares
shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any
fraction of a share called for upon the exercise of this Warrant, the
Company shall pay to the Warrantholder an amount in cash equal to such
fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price then in effect.
SECTION VII. ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.
A. COMPUTATION OF ADJUSTED EXERCISE PRICE. Except as
hereinafter provided, in case the Company shall at any time after the date
hereof (i) issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (except in those
instances referred to in subsection F of this Section VII), including
shares held in the Company's treasury and shares issued upon the exercise
of any option, rights or warrants (with the exception of this Warrant and
any other options and warrants outstanding on the date hereof, and without
duplicating any adjustments pursuant to clause (ii) below) and shares
issued upon the direct or indirect conversion or exchange of securities for
shares of Common Stock (with the exception of the Company's Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the
"PREFERRED STOCK"), and without duplicating any adjustments pursuant to
clause (ii) below) for a consideration per share less than the Market Price
(as hereinafter defined) on the trading day immediately prior to the date
of issuance or sale of such share or without consideration, or (ii) issue
any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase or otherwise
acquire Common Stock (the "OPTION SECURITIES") or any evidences of
indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities (other than the Preferred
Stock) which are convertible into or exchangeable, with or without payment
of consideration, for shares of Common Stock (the "CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES"), whether or not the right to exercise such Option Securities
or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities is immediately
exercisable or is conditioned upon the passage of time, the occurrence or
non-occurrence of some other event, or both, for a consideration per share
of Common Stock (calculated in accordance with subsections A(iii) and A(iv)
of this Article VII) less than the Market Price on the trading day
immediately prior to the date of issuance of such Option Securities or
Convertible Securities, then forthwith upon such issuance or sale the
Exercise Price shall (until another such issuance or sale) be reduced to a
price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price immediately prior to such issuance or sale by a fraction,
the numerator of which is an amount equal to the sum of (X) the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
issuance or sale, multiplied by the Market Price in effect immediately
prior to such issuance or sale, plus (Y) the aggregate of the amount of all
consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance or sale,
and the denominator of which is the Market Price in effect immediately
prior to such issuance or sale multiplied by the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted pursuant to
this computation to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such computation, except in the case of a combination
of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as provided by subsection B of this
Section VII.
For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with
this subsection A, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(i) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount of
the cash consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of the
cash received by the Company for such shares (or, if shares are offered by
the Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, if sold to
underwriters or dealers the public offering price) before deducting
therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in the sale,
underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or others
performing similar services, or any expenses incurred in connection
therewith.
(ii) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a
dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company) of shares of
Common Stock for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than
cash, the amount of the consideration therefor other than cash shall be
deemed to be the value of such consideration as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company.
(iii)In case of the issuance of Convertible Securities
(other than the Convertible Securities described in (iv) below), the
aggregate consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the
consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issuance of such
Convertible Securities, plus the additional minimum consideration, if any,
to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof.
(iv) In the case of the issuance of Option Securities, the
aggregate consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the
consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issuance of such
Option Securities, plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be
received by the Company upon the exercise thereof.
(v) Shares of Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or
other distribution on any stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been
issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or other distribution and shall be deemed to have been issued
without consideration.
(vi) The reclassification of securities of the Company,
other than shares of Common Stock into securities including shares of
Common Stock, shall be deemed to involve the issuance of such shares for a
consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close of business on
the date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to
receive such shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such
shares shall be determined as provided in subsection (ii) of this
subsection A.
(vii) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time
outstanding shall include the aggregate number of shares issued or issuable
(subject to readjustment upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the
exercise of outstanding options, rights, warrants and upon the conversion
or exchange of outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities.
"MARKET PRICE," as of any date, (i) means the average of the
last reported sale prices for the shares of Common Stock as reported by
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation National
Market System ("NASDAQ-NMS") for five consecutive trading days, or (ii) if
the NASDAQ-NMS 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, or (iii) if
market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing
bases, the Market Price shall be the average fair market value as
reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
B. SUBDIVISION AND COMBINATION. In case the Company shall at
any time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of
subdivision or increased in case of combination.
C. ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section VII, the number
of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be adjusted to the nearest full share by multiplying a number equal to the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number
of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained
by the adjusted Exercise Price.
D. RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case of
any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(other than a change in par value to no par value, or from no par value to
par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case
of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
except a change as a result of a subdivision or combination of such shares
or a change in par value, as aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or
conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of the
property of the Company, the Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right
to purchase upon the exercise of this Warrant the kind and number of shares
of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance as if
the Warrantholder were the owner of the shares of Warrant Stock underlying
this Warrant immediately prior to any such events at the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to the record date for such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance as if such Warrantholder
had exercised this Warrant.
E. SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT. If the purchase price provided for in
any Option Securities, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon
the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities or the rate at
which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock shall change, or if any Option Securities or Convertible
Securities terminate in whole or in part without being exercised, converted
or exchanged, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event shall
forthwith be readjusted. The Exercise Price shall be adjusted to that
amount which would have been in effect at such time had such Option
Securities or Convertible Securities outstanding at such time initially
been granted, issued or sold and the Exercise Price initially adjusted as
provided in subsection A of this Article VII, except that the minimum
amount of additional consideration payable and the total maximum number of
shares issuable shall be determined after giving effect to such event (and
any prior event or events).
F. NO ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE IN CERTAIN CASES. No
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made:
(i) Upon the issuance or sale of this Warrant or the shares
of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Warrants
dated February 7, 1996, or the issuance or sale of the Preferred Stock, or
upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with the
conversion of such Preferred Stock, or the issuance of shares of Common
Stock pursuant to Section 2(c) of the Registration Rights Agreements of
even date herewith and January 31, 1996, respectively, by and among the
Company and the Buyer and pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Certificate of
Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock and of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company;
(ii) Upon the issuance of options, or shares upon the
exercise thereof, pursuant to the Company's Non-Qualified Stock Option
Plan, or any amendment or successor plan thereto;
(iii) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less than
one cent ($.01) per share; provided, however, that in such case any
adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be
carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any
adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to at least one cent ($.01) per
Share;
(iv) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock or
securities which are exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock
to employees of the Company or its affiliates, under an Employee Stock
Purchase or Option Plan;
(v) Upon the issuance of any Option Securities or the
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise thereof, where such
Option Security option, right or warrant was issued for a consideration
price per share of Common Stock initially deliverable upon exercise of such
Option Security equal to or greater than the Market Price in effect
immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such Option Security;
(vi) Upon the issuance of securities convertible into
Common Stock, where the conversion price is equal to or greater than the
Market Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such
securities; or
(vii)Upon the issuance of Common Stock to non-management
directors of the Company in an amount up to Twelve Thousand Dollars
($12,000) per such director per year, based upon such method of valuation
as may be established from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors
in its reasonable discretion.

calculations pertaining to such adjustment and stating the date on which
