Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On August 2, 2005, MannKind Corporation, a Delaware corporation (MannKind), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the purchasers set forth on Exhibit A thereto (the Securities Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which MannKind sold, at the closing on August 5, 2005, 17,131,682 shares of its common stock (the Shares) and warrants to purchase 3,426,340 shares of its common stock (the Warrants) resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to MannKind of approximately $175.0 million (the Private Placement). The Warrants have an exercise price of $12.228 per share, become exercisable 180 days after the closing of the Private Placement and expire on August 5, 2010. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, MannKind has agreed to file, within 30 days after the closing of the Private Placement, a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) to register for resale the Shares and the shares of MannKind’s common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and MannKind has agreed to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within (i) 60 days following the closing if the registration statement is not reviewed by the SEC, or (ii) 120 days following the closing if the registration statement is reviewed by the SEC.
     MannKind’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Alfred E. Mann, who, with his affiliated entities, holds more than 5% of MannKind’s outstanding capital stock, purchased approximately $87.34 million in the Private Placement. Kent Kresa, a director of MannKind, and Hakan S. Edstrom, MannKind’s President and Chief Operating Officer, collectively purchased an aggregate of approximately $157,000 in the Private Placement.
     The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
     On August 5, 2005, MannKind completed a private placement of the Shares and Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, MannKind sold 17,131,682 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 3,426,340 shares of its common stock. The exercise price of the Warrants is $12.228 per share. The Securities Purchase Agreement, including the form of Warrant and other exhibits thereto, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
     The aggregate offering price of the shares of Common Stock sold was approximately $175.0 million and the aggregate placement agent commissions were approximately $4.4 million. Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC and Leerink Swann & Co. acted as MannKind’s placement agents for the Shares and Warrants issued in the Private Placement to purchasers other than Alfred E. Mann, Kent Kresa and Hakan S. Edstrom.
     The offering was made only to accredited investors, as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Shares and the Warrants issued to the purchasers have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. MannKind relied on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. As described in Item 1.01 of this current report, MannKind has agreed to file a registration statement for the resale of the Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants. Neither this current report on

The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms and, at the Closing, each of the Warrants will have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, in each case, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or public policy underlying such laws.

4.


 

since August 2, 2004, pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included or incorporated by reference therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits) included or incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to herein as the “SEC Documents”). Each Purchaser has had access to true and complete copies of the SEC Documents. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, 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 the SEC, 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 and the related notes complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. The Financial Statements and the related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in the Financial Statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes, may be condensed or summary statements or may conform to the SEC’s rules and instructions for Reports on Form 10-Q) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal and recurring year-end audit adjustments). All agreements that were required to be filed as exhibits to the SEC Documents under Item 601 of Regulation S-K (collectively, the “Material Agreements”) to which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a party, or the property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company are subject, have been filed as exhibits to the SEC Documents. All Material Agreements are valid and enforceable against the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, in accordance with their respective terms, except (i) as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally, and (ii) as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or public policy underlying such laws. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in breach of or default under any of the Material Agreements, and to the Company’s knowledge, no other party to a Material Agreement is in breach of or default under such Material Agreement, except in each case, for such breaches or defaults as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received a notice of termination nor is the Company otherwise aware of any threats to terminate any of the Material Agreements.
     2.8 Sarbanes-Oxley; Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with all of the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are applicable to it or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are effective in all material respects to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including any of its Subsidiaries, is made known to its chief executive officer and chief financial officer by others within those entities. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls

5.


 

and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed quarterly or annual periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed quarterly or annual periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.
     2.9 Accounting Controls. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company maintains a system of accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company is not currently required to comply with (A) the management report on internal control over financial reporting requirement and the related registered public accounting firm report requirement contained in Items 308(a) and (b) of Regulation S-K or (B) the provisions of Rule 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) promulgated under the Exchange Act requiring an evaluation of changes to internal control over financial reporting.
     2.10 Absence of Litigation. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, as of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that if determined adversely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or would reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Warrants. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any current or former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company has not received any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act and, to the Company’s knowledge, the SEC has not issued any such order.
     2.11 Intellectual Property Rights. To the Company’s knowledge, the Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess, or believes they can obtain on reasonable terms, licenses or sufficient rights to use all patents, patent applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade secrets, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service names, trade names and copyrights necessary to enable them to conduct their business as conducted as of the date hereof (the “Intellectual Property”). To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties and no third party, to the

6.


 

Company’s knowledge, is infringing the Intellectual Property, in each case, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, there are no material options, licenses or agreements relating to the Intellectual Property, nor is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries bound by or a party to any material options, licenses or agreements relating to the patents, patent applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade secrets, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service names, trade names or copyrights of any other person or entity. There is no material claim or action or proceeding pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened that challenges the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any Intellectual Property.
     2.12 Placement Agents. The Company has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, placement agent’s fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except for dealings with the Placement Agents, whose commissions and fees will be paid by the Company. For purposes of clarity, the Company hereby represents and warrants that the Placement Agents have not participated in the placement of any Securities that are to be purchased by any director or officer of the Company (the “Company Representatives”) and that no commissions or fees will be paid to the Placement Agents in connection with any Securities sold to Company Representatives.
     2.13 Investment Company. The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the receipt of the proceeds therefrom, will not be an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.
     2.14 No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2004, except as described or referred to in the SEC Documents and except for cash expenditures in the ordinary course of business, there has not been any change in the assets, business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Company that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2004, (i) there has not been any dividend or distribution of any kind declared, set aside for payment, paid or made by the Company on any class of capital stock, (ii) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has sustained any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor disturbance or dispute or any action, order or decree of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, (iii) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities except in the ordinary course of business, (iv) the Company has not altered its method of accounting, and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director, or Affiliate of the Company, except pursuant to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or pursuant to existing Company stock option or purchase plans.
     2.15 Nasdaq National Market. The Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq, and, to the Company’s knowledge, there are no proceedings to revoke or suspend such listing or the listing of the Shares and the Warrant Shares. The Company is in compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq for continued listing of the Common Stock thereon and any other Nasdaq listing and maintenance requirements. At the Closing, the Shares will have been duly listed on Nasdaq and the Warrant Shares will have been approved for listing on Nasdaq.

     2.16 Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity with respect to the Company) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents to the Company in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to such Purchaser’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.
     2.17 Accountants. Deloitte & Touche LLP, who have expressed their opinion with respect to the audited financial statements and schedules to be incorporated by reference in or included as a part of the Registration Statement prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, are independent accountants as required by the Securities Act.
     2.18 Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as the Company believes are prudent and customary for a company (i) in the businesses and location in which the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, is engaged, (ii) with the resources of the Company, and (iii) at a similar stage of development as the Company. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received any written notice that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires. The Company believes it will be able to obtain similar coverage at reasonable cost from similar insurers as may be necessary for the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to continue its business.
     2.19 Foreign Corrupt Practices. Since December 31, 2004, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor to the Company’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated or is in violation of in any material respect any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or (iv) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.
     2.20 Private Placement.

such registrations, obtain all such qualifications and comply with all such laws, rules and regulations as may be necessary in order to permit the sale, transfer and other disposition of the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof pursuant to the Registration Statement (including, without limitation, the execution of any required undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications or exemptions under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable securities laws, requirements or regulations). As used herein, “Effectiveness Date” means the date which is (i) 60 days after the Closing Date if the Registration Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, or (ii) 120 days after the Closing Date, if the Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC.
     6.2 All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification, exemption or compliance pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be borne by the Company.

     6.3 The Company further agrees that, in the event that the Registration Statement (i) has not been filed with the SEC within 30 days after the Closing Date, (ii) has not been declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Date, or (iii) after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the use of the Registration Statement or the related prospectus is suspended by the Company, or the Registration Statement ceases to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it is required to be effective, or the Registration Statement or the related prospectus cease to be useable in connection with resales of Registrable Securities for which it is required to be effective, other than, in each case referred to in this clause (iii), within the time period(s) permitted by Section 6.7(b) (each such event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Registration Default”), then, for any thirty-day period (a “Penalty Period”) during which the Registration Default remains uncured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash equal to 1% of such Holder’s aggregate deemed purchase price of his or her Registrable Securities for each Penalty Period during which the Registration Default remains uncured (for purposes of clarity, it is hereby understood and agreed that, solely for the purpose of this Section 6.3, the deemed purchase price for each Share is $10.19 and the purchase price of each Warrant Share shall be deemed to be equal to $0.025, provided that the dollar amounts set forth in this parenthetical clause shall be appropriately adjusted in the event of any adjustment, pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, in the exercise price of the Warrants or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants); provided, however, that if a Holder fails to provide the Company with any information that is required to be provided in the Registration Statement with respect to such Holder as set forth herein, then the commencement of the Penalty Period described above shall be extended until two Business Days following the date of receipt by the Company of such required information; and provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be required hereunder to pay to any Holder pursuant to this Agreement an aggregate amount that exceeds 21% of the aggregate deemed purchase price for such Holder’s Securities; and provided further that the amount payable to any Holder hereunder for any partial Penalty Period shall be pro-rated for the number of actual days during such Penalty Period during which a Registration Default remains uncured.

17.


 

immediately preceding sentence, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to such Holder, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.

               (v) as promptly as practicable of the occurrence of any event or the existence of any condition that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading;

          (g) promptly take such actions as may be necessary to register or qualify or obtain an exemption for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such United States jurisdictions as any Holders reasonably request in writing, provided that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction, and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement;
          (h) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 6.4(b)(v) above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement and has suspended such use, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities, the prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the

          (m) permit a single counsel for the Holder to review the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, within two Business Days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, to give reasonable consideration to any comments from such counsel and, without limitation to the foregoing, to make such changes to the plan of distribution section of such Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto as may be reasonably requested by any Holder;
provided that, in the case of clauses (l) and (m) above, the Company shall not be required (A) to delay the filing of the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto as a result of any ongoing diligence inquiry by or on behalf of a Holder, or (B) to provide, and shall not provide, any Holder or its representatives with material, non-public information unless such Holder agrees to receive such information and enters into a written confidentiality agreement with the Company in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company.
     6.5 The Company shall not be required to make any payment to any Holder otherwise required by Section 6.3 hereof allocable to any day on which a Registration Default exists or existed solely as a result of (i) any request by such Holder to incorporate any comment in any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) any unreasonable action by such Holder to restrain, enjoin or otherwise delay any registration pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof.
     6.6 (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each Holder and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or action in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 6.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus, any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or prospectus,

20.


 

or any other document incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance or arising out of or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, or arising out of or based on any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated by the SEC applicable to the Company and relating to any action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each Holder and each person controlling such Holder, for legal and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder for use in preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided further that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective or in the prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any such Holder in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities to any purchaser by such Holder, or any such controlling person of such Holder, if a copy of the Final Prospectus was furnished to such Holder by the Company for delivery to the purchaser of such Registrable Securities but was not furnished to the purchaser of such Registrable Securities at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, liability, claim or damage.
          (b) Each Holder will severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 6.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or prospectus, or arising out of or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse the Company, such directors and officers, and each person controlling the Company for legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or such prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided that the indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such claim, loss, damage or liability results from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus was not made available to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder’s aggregate liability

21.


 

pursuant to this subsection (b) and subsection (d) shall be limited to the net amount received by the Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities.
          (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at its expense) to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 6, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or litigation and in any event shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have otherwise then on account of this Article 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume the defense at the Indemnifying Party’s expense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom if (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel by the Indemnified Party or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated by the Company, in the case of the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 6.6(a), and by a majority in interest of the Indemnified Parties, in the case of indemnity pursuant to Section 6.6(b) hereof. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnifying Party, in its defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.6 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matter that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material

22.


 

fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
     6.7 (a) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to a prospectus relating to Registrable Securities so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, each Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 6.1 until its receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company or notice from the Company that the use of the existing prospectus may be resumed and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
          (b) Each Holder shall suspend, upon written request of the Company, any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 6.1 during no more than two periods of no more than 30 calendar days each during any 12-month period to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith based on the advice of counsel that the sale of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement would be reasonably likely to cause a violation of the Securities Act or Exchange Act.
          (c) As a condition to the inclusion of its Registrable Securities, each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing, including completing a Registration Statement questionnaire in the form provided by the Company, or as shall be required in connection with any registration referred to in this Article 6.
          (d) Each Holder, severally and not jointly, hereby covenants with the Company that such Holder will not make any sale of the Registrable Securities without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act to be satisfied unless such sale is exempt from registration.
          (e) Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Registration Statement are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the stock certificate submitted to the transfer agent evidencing such Registrable Securities is accompanied by a certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that (i) the Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance with such Registration Statement and (ii) the requirement of delivering a current prospectus has been satisfied.
          (f) Each Holder, severally and not jointly, agrees not to take any action with respect to any distribution deemed to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement which would constitute a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act or any other applicable rule, regulation or law.

23.


 

          (g) At the end of the Registration Period the Holders shall discontinue sales of shares pursuant to such Registration Statement upon receipt of notice from the Company of its intention to remove from registration the shares covered by such Registration Statement which remain unsold, and such Holders shall notify the Company of the number of shares registered which remain unsold as soon as practical upon receipt of such notice from the Company.
     6.8 With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, so long as the Holders still own Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to:
          (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times;
          (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and
          (c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder, upon any reasonable request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.
     6.9 The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company under Section 6.1 deemed to be transferred to a Holder in connection with a transfer by such Holder of all or a portion of its Registrable Securities, provided, however, that (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (ii) such Holder gives prior written notice to the Company; and (iii) such transferee agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 6.9, the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other Person, and any attempted transfer shall cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited.
     6.10 The rights of any Holder under any provision of this Article 6 may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended by an instrument in writing signed by such Holder.

FORM OF WARRANT
THIS WARRANT AND THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. THE COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO THE EXTENT THAT AN OPINION IS REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THAT CERTAIN SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT UNDER WHICH THE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED.
MannKind Corporation
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
No. CW-___   August 5, 2005
Void After August 5, 2010
     This Certifies That, for value received,                                         , with its principal office at                                                             , or its assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at the Exercise Price (defined below) from MannKind Corporation, a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at 28903 North Avenue Payne, Valencia, CA 91355 (the “Company”) up to                      shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as provided herein. This Warrant is one of a series of Warrants being issued pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated August 2, 2005, by and among the Company and the original Holder of this Warrant and the other parties named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
     1. Definitions. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
               (a) “Exercise Period” shall mean the period commencing 180 days after the date hereof and ending August 5, 2010, unless sooner terminated as provided below.
               (b) “Exercise Price” shall mean $12.228 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6 below.

1.


 

               (c) “Exercise Shares” shall mean the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms herein, including but not limited to adjustment pursuant to Section 6 below.
2. Exercise of Warrant.
          2.1 Method of Exercise. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):
               (a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;
               (b) Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (ii) pursuant to a cashless exercise, as described below; and
               (c) This Warrant.
     Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, shares of Common Stock shall be issued for the Exercise Shares so purchased, and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates, within three business days after the receipt by the Company of all of the items designated in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above and shall be issued in certificate form and delivered to the Holder, if so requested.
     The person in whose name any Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of issuance of the shares of Common Stock, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
          2.2 Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if, at any time during the Exercise Period, the Current Market Price (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise and the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
             
 
  X =   Y (B-A)    
 
           
 
      B    
 
           
Where:   X =   the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
 
           
    Y =   the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.

2.


 

             
    A =   the Exercise Price as then in effect.
 
           
    B =   the Current Market Price of one share of Common Stock.
 
           
    “Current Market Price” means on any particular date:
               (a) if the Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock of the Company on such market over the five (5) trading days ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation (in the case of a cashless exercise, the date of valuation shall be the exercise date);
               (b) if the Common Stock is traded on any national stock exchange but is not traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock of the Company on such exchange over the five (5) trading days ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation;
               (c) if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, but not on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Nasdaq National Market or a national stock exchange, the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation; and
               (d) if there is no active public market for the Common Stock, the value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company upon due consideration of the proposed determination thereof by the Holder.
          2.3 Partial Exercise. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver, within 10 days of the date of exercise, a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder, or such other person as shall be designated in the Notice of Exercise, to purchase the balance of the Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder. In no event shall this Warrant be exercised for a fractional Exercise Share, and the Company shall not distribute a Warrant exercisable for a fractional Exercise Share. Fractional Exercise Shares shall be treated as provided in Section 5 hereof.
     3. Covenants of the Company.
          3.1 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive or other similar rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities as provided herein) to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

3.


 

          3.2 No Impairment. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder in accordance with Section 10 hereof, the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as such may be amended from time to time), or through any means, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith carry out of all the provisions of this Warrant and take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.
          3.3 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten days prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.
     4. Representations of Holder.
          4.1 Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Exercise Shares solely for its account for investment and not with a present view toward the public sale or public distribution of said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any part thereof and has no intention of selling or distributing said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the sale or distribution of said Warrant or the Exercise Shares, except as would not result in a violation of the Securities Act. The Holder will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Warrant except in accordance with the Securities Act and will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Exercise Shares except in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 of the Purchase Agreement or pursuant to and in accordance with the Securities Act.
          4.2 Securities Are Not Registered.
               (a) The Holder understands that the offer and sale of neither the Warrant nor the Exercise Shares has been registered under the Securities Act.
               (b) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or, except as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Exercise Shares, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.
               (c) The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about the Company and the expiration of the required holding period under Rule 144.

4.


 

     4.3 Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.
          (a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:
               (i) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the SEC stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition;
               (ii) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such Warrant or Exercise Shares and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or
               (iii) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a reasonably detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition in order for the Company to confirm compliance with the provisions of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement and applicable securities laws, if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws; provided, that no opinion shall be required for any disposition made or to be made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144.
          (b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder may bear a legend in substantially the following form (provided that no such legend will be borne by Exercise Shares issued following the disposition of such shares pursuant to a registration statement which is effective under the Securities Act and provided, further, that the Company will remove such legend at the request of the Holder (i) following any sale of the Exercise Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, or (ii) if such Exercise Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k)):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. THE COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO THE EXTENT THAT AN OPINION IS REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE AGREEMENT UNDER WHICH THE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED.

5.


 

     5. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then Current Market Price (as of the applicable exercise date) of an Exercise Share by such fraction.
     6. Certain Events.
          6.1 Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Company’s stockholders of cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, then the Holder shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such assets (or rights) which would have been payable to the Holder had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such Distribution.
          6.2 Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations and Reclassifications. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of any of the following. In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
          6.3 Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the

6.


 

surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.3. For purposes of this Section 6.3, “common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
          6.4 Adjustment of Exercise Price. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number, class, and kind of shares or Other Property subject to this Warrant. The Company shall promptly provide a certificate from its principal accounting officer notifying the Holder in writing of any adjustment in the Exercise Price and/or the total number, class, and kind of shares or Other Property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, which certificate shall specify the Exercise Price and number, class and kind of shares or Other Property under this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment and shall set forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.
     7. No Stockholder Rights. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
     8. Transfer of Warrant. Subject to applicable laws and compliance with Section 4.3 hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person

7.


 

or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder.
     9. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
     10. Modifications and Waiver. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder.
     11. Notices, etc. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at the address listed on the signature page and to the Holder at the addresses on the Company records, or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other party hereto.
     12. Acceptance. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
     13. Governing Law. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.
     14. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. The language in this Warrant shall be construed as to its fair meaning without regard to which party drafted this Warrant.
     15. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Warrant in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, or affect any other provision of this Warrant, which shall remain in full force and effect.
     16. Registration Rights. The holder of this Warrant and of the Exercise Shares shall be entitled to the registration rights and other applicable rights as and to the extent set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
     17. Entire Agreement. This Warrant constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter contained in it and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and undertakings of the parties, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter.

MANNKIND CORPORATION ANNOUNCES $175 MILLION PRIVATE FINANCING
VALENCIA, Calif. (August 3, 2005) – MannKind Corporation (Nasdaq NM: MNKD) announced today that it has entered into a definitive purchase agreement for a $175 million private placement of newly issued shares of common stock and the concurrent issuance of warrants for the purchase of additional shares of common stock. Leading institutional investors will invest $87.5 million in the private placement while Alfred E. Mann, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and principal stockholder of MannKind, will also invest $87.5 million. The financing is scheduled to close on August 5, 2005. Wachovia Securities and Leerink Swann & Company acted as placement agents for this transaction.
“We are truly pleased that many respected investment firms have participated in this financing. We believe that these investors recognize that our Technosphere(R) Insulin is a unique and clearly differentiated product,” said Mr. Mann.
Upon the closing of the financing, MannKind will issue approximately 17.1 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to approximately 3.4 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $12.228 per share.
MannKind intends to use the net proceeds from the financing primarily to fund the continuing development program for the Technosphere(R) Insulin System, which is currently in phase 3 clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe. Net proceeds from the financing are also expected to be used for the Company’s other product development efforts, working capital, and general corporate purposes.
The shares of common stock and warrants sold in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The shares and warrants were offered and sold only to accredited investors. MannKind has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the shares of common stock issued in the private placement and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
