Entry
into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
|
On
March
30, 2007, Manhattan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or “Manhattan”),
entered into a series of subscription agreements with various institutional
and
other accredited investors for the issuance and sale in a private placement
of
an aggregate of 10,185,502 shares of our common stock for total gross proceeds
of approximately $8.56 million. Of the total amount of shares issued, 10,129,947
were sold at a per share price of $0.84, and an additional 55,555 shares
were
sold to an entity affiliated with Neil Herskowitz, a director of Manhattan,
at a
per share price of $0.90, the closing sale price of our common stock on March
29, 2007. Pursuant to the subscription agreements, we also issued to the
investors 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,564,897 shares of
our
common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The warrants are
exercisable during the period commencing September 30, 2007 and ending March
30,
2012.
Pursuant
to the subscription agreements, we agreed to file a registration statement
with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before May 14, 2007 covering
the
resale of the shares issued in the private placement, including the shares
issuable upon exercise of the investor warrants.
We
engaged Paramount BioCapital, Inc., as our placement agent in connection
with
the private placement. In consideration for its services, we paid aggregate
cash
commissions of approximately $600,000 and issued to Paramount a 5-year warrant
to purchase an aggregate of 509,275 shares at an exercise price of $1.00
per
share.
The
sale
of the shares and warrants was not registered under the Securities Act of
1933.
Rather, the offer and sale of such securities was made in reliance on the
exemption from registration requirements provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each of the investors
was “accredited” (as defined under Regulation D) and no general solicitation was
used in connection with the offer and sale of such securities.
The
form
of subscription agreement is attached hereto and incorporated by reference
herein as Exhibit 10.1.

FOR
VALUE
RECEIVED, MANHATTAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”),
hereby certifies that [________________], its designee or its permitted assigns
is entitled to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time
commencing on September 30, 2007 and prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time,
on
March 30, 2012 (the “Exercise
Period”),
[ ]
fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per
share, of the Company for a purchase price per share of $1.00.
Hereinafter,
(i) said common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company, is referred
to as the “Common
Stock”;
(ii)
the shares of the Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth herein)
purchasable hereunder or under any other Warrant (as hereinafter defined) are
referred to as the “Warrant
Shares”;
(iii)
the aggregate purchase price payable for the Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder is referred to as the “Aggregate
Warrant Price”;
(iv)
the price payable (initially $1.00 per share subject to adjustment as set forth
herein) for each of the Warrant Shares hereunder is referred to as the
“Per
Share Warrant Price”;
(v)
this Warrant, all similar Warrants issued on the date hereof and all warrants
hereafter issued in exchange or substitution for this Warrant or such similar
Warrants are referred to as the “Warrants”;
(vi)
the registered holder of this Warrant is referred to as the “Holder”
and
the
holder of this Warrant and all other Warrants and Warrant Shares are referred
to
as the “Holders”
and
Holders of at least two-thirds of the Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise
of then outstanding Warrants are referred to as the “Majority
of the Holders”)
and
(vii) the then Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (the
“Current
Market Price”)
shall
be deemed to be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the Trading
Day (as defined below) immediately prior to such date or, in case no such
reported sales take place on such day, the average of the last reported bid
and
asked prices of the Common Stock on such day, in either case on the principal
national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is admitted to trading
or
listed, or if not listed or admitted to trading on any such exchange, the per
share sale price for the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported
by the OTC Bulletin Board or another over-the-counter market, or if not so
available, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined in good
faith
by the Company’s Board of Directors. A “Trading
Day”
shall
mean any day on which such principal exchange or market is open for trading,
or
if there is no such exchange or market, then any day except Saturdays, Sundays
or federal holidays. The Aggregate Warrant Price is not subject to
adjustment.
This
Warrant is one in a series of related warrants constituting in the aggregate
Warrants to purchase 3,564,897 Warrant Shares, which were originally issued
pursuant to a series of subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription
Agreement”)
between
the Company and the investors named therein in connection with a private
placement by the Company of its securities, as described in the Company’s
Confidential Offering Memorandum dated February 12, 2007, as amended. By
acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with all applicable
provisions of the Subscription Agreement.
1. Exercise
of Warrant.
(a) Exercise
for Cash.
This
Warrant may be exercised in whole at any time, or in part from time to time,
by
the Holder during the Exercise Period by the surrender of this Warrant (with
the
subscription form at the end hereof duly executed) at the address set forth
in
subsection 10(a) hereof, together with proper payment of the Aggregate Warrant
Price, or the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part,
with payment for the Warrant Shares made by certified or official bank check
payable to the order of, or wire transfer of immediately available funds to,
the
Company; or
(b) Cashless
Exercise.
(i) At
any
time during the Exercise Period when the resale of the Warrant Shares by the
Holder is not registered pursuant to an effective registration statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “Securities
Act”),
the
Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part,
on a cashless basis, by surrendering this Warrant, with the form of subscription
appended hereto duly executed by or on behalf of the Holder, at the principal
office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may
designate, by canceling a portion of this Warrant in payment of the Aggregate
Warrant Price (or proportionate payment thereof in this Warrant is exercise
in
part) payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such
exercise. In the event of an exercise pursuant to this subsection 1(b), the
number of Warrant Shares issued to the Holder shall be determined according
to
the following formula:
Where: |
X = |
the number of Warrant Shares that shall be issued
to the Holder; |
|
Y
=
|
the
number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised
(which
shall include both the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Registered
Holder and the number of Warrant Shares subject to the portion of
the
Warrant being cancelled in payment of the Purchase Price);
|
|
A
=
|
the
Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock;
and
|
|
B
= |
the
Per Share Warrant Price then in effect. |
(ii) The
“Fair
Market Value” per share of Common Stock shall be determined as
follows:
(1) If
the
Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, including the Nasdaq
Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, or another nationally recognized
trading system as of the date of exercise, the Fair Market Value per share
of
Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the high and low reported
sale
prices per share of Common Stock thereon on the trading day immediately
preceding the date of exercise (provided that if no such price is reported
on
such day, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined
pursuant to clause (2) below).
(2) If
the
Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, including the
Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, or another nationally
recognized trading system as of the date of exercise, the Fair Market Value
per
share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the amount most recently determined
by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
to
represent the fair market value per share of the Common Stock (including without
limitation a determination for purposes of granting Common Stock options or
issuing Common Stock under any plan, agreement or arrangement with employees
of
the Company); and, upon request of the Holder, the Board (or a representative
thereof) shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not
later
than 10 days after such request, notify the Holder of the Fair Market Value
per
share of Common Stock and furnish the Holder with reasonable documentation
of
the Board’s determination of such Fair Market Value. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Board has not made such a determination within the three-month
period prior to the date of exercise, then (A) the Board shall make, and
shall provide or cause to be provided to the Holder notice of, a determination
of the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock within 15 days of a
request by the Holder that it do so, and (B) the exercise of this Warrant
pursuant to this subsection 1(b) shall be delayed until such determination
is
made and notice thereof is provided to the Holder.
(c) If
this
Warrant is exercised in part, this Warrant must be exercised for a number of
whole shares of the Common Stock and the Holder is entitled to receive a new
Warrant covering the Warrant Shares that have not been exercised and setting
forth the proportionate part of the Aggregate Warrant Price applicable to such
Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant in connection with the exercise
of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company will (i) issue a
certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder for the largest number
of
whole shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon
such
exercise and, if this Warrant is exercised in whole, in lieu of any fractional
share of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, pay to the
Holder cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional
share
(as determined in accordance with subsection 1(b)), and (ii) deliver the other
securities and properties receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or
the
proportionate part thereof, if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant
to
the provisions of this Warrant.
2. Reservation
of Warrant Shares; Listing.
The
Company agrees that, prior to the expiration of this Warrant, the Company shall
at all times (a) have authorized and in reserve, and shall keep available,
solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, the shares
of the Common Stock and other securities and properties as from time to time
shall be receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, free and clear of all
restrictions on sale or transfer, other than under Federal or state securities
laws, and free and clear of all preemptive rights and rights of first refusal
and (b) as long as the Common Stock is listed on any national securities
exchange, use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Warrant Shares authorized
for listing on such exchange upon notice of issuance.
3. Certain
Adjustments.
(a) In
case
the Company shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares
of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine or reverse-split
its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv)
issue
by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the
Company, then the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares
shall
forthwith be proportionately decreased and increased, respectively, in the
case
of a subdivision, distribution or stock dividend, or proportionately increased
and decreased, respectively, in the case of a combination or reverse stock
split. The Aggregate Warrant Price payable for the then total number
of
Warrant
Shares
available for exercise under this Warrant shall remain the same. Adjustments
made pursuant to this subsection 3(a) shall become effective on the record
date
in the case of a dividend or distribution, and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination
or reclassification. If such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination
is not consummated in full, the Per Share Warrant Price and Warrant Shares
shall
be readjusted accordingly.
(b) In
case
of any capital reorganization or reclassification, or any consolidation or
merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation
in
which the Company is the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or
conveyance to another entity of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or in the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another
corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of
a
third corporation into the Company but excluding any exchange of securities
or
merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation
and that does not result in any reclassification of or similar change in the
Common Stock), the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to
receive on the exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of securities,
cash
or other property which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to
receive immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance
and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in
the
application of the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the
rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that
the provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall thereafter correspondingly
be
made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares
of
stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise
of
this Warrant. The above provisions of this subsection 3(b) shall similarly
apply
to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers,
statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances. The Company shall require the issuer
of any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable
on
the exercise of this Warrant to be responsible for all of the agreements and
obligations of the Company hereunder. Notice of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance
and of said provisions so proposed to be made, shall be mailed to the Holders
of
the Warrants not less than twenty (20) days prior to such event. A sale of
all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company for a consideration consisting
primarily of securities shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the
foregoing purposes.
(c) No
adjustment in the Per Share Warrant Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.01 per share
of
Common Stock; provided,
however,
that
any adjustments which by reason of this subsection 3(c) are not required to
be
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment; provided,
further,
however, that adjustments shall be required and made in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3 (other than this subsection 3(c)) not later than
such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a
distribution, if any, to the Holder of this Warrant or Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise hereof. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made
to
the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
Anything in this Section 3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall
be
entitled to make such reductions in the Per Share Warrant Price, in addition
to
those required by this Section 3, as it in its discretion shall deem to be
advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares or
distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities convertible or
exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall
not be taxable.
(d) Whenever
the Per Share Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted as
provided in this Section 3 and upon any modification of the rights of a Holder
of Warrants in accordance with this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
prepare a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification
and the manner of computing the same and cause copies of such certificate to
be
mailed to the Holders of the Warrants. The Company may, but shall not be
obligated to unless requested by a Majority of the Holders, obtain, at its
expense, a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized
standing selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular auditors
of
the Company) setting forth the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant
Shares in effect after such adjustment or the effect of such modification,
a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification and
the
manner of computing the same and cause copies of such certificate to be mailed
to the Holders of the Warrants.
(e) If
the
Board of Directors of the Company shall declare any dividend or other
distribution with respect to the Common Stock other than a cash distribution
out
of earned surplus, the Company shall mail notice thereof to the Holders of
the
Warrants not less than ten (10) days prior to the record date fixed for
determining stockholders entitled to participate in such dividend or other
distribution.
(f) If,
as a
result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder of any
Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive
shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and
other capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination
shall be conclusive and shall be described in a written notice to the Holder
of
any Warrant promptly after such adjustment) shall determine, in good faith,
the
allocation of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price between or among shares
or
such classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital
stock.
(g) Upon
the
expiration of any rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges with
respect to the issuance of which an adjustment to the Per Share Warrant Price
had been made, if such option, right warrant or conversion shall not have been
exercised, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant, to the extent this Warrant has not then been exercised, shall, upon
such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be such as they would have
been had they been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not
been
required, as the case may be) on the basis of (A) the fact that Common Stock,
if
any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants
or conversion privileges, and (B) the fact that such shares of Common Stock,
if
any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company
upon such exercise plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the
Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all such rights, options, warrants
or
conversion privileges whether or not exercised; provided,
however,
that no
such readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant by an amount in excess of
the
amount of the adjustment initially made in respect of the issuance, sale or
grant of such rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges.
(h) In
case
any event shall occur as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are
not
strictly applicable but as to which the failure to make any adjustment would
not
fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance
with the essential intent and principles of the adjustments set forth in this
Section 3 then, in each such case, the Board of Directors of the Company shall
in good faith determine the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with
the
essential intent and principles established herein, necessary to preserve the
purchase rights represented by the Warrants. Upon such determination, the
Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder of this Warrant and
shall make the adjustments described therein.
4. Fully
Paid Stock; Taxes.
The
shares of the Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant
Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall, subject to compliance
by
the Holder with the terms hereof, at the time of such delivery, be duly
authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and
not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal imposed by any
agreement to which the Company is a party, and the Company will take all such
actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value, if any, per share
of
the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share
Warrant Price. The Company shall pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal
and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in respect
of the issue of any Warrant Share or any certificate thereof to the extent
required because of the issuance by the Company of such security.
5. Registration
Under Act.
(a) The
Holder shall have the right to participate in the registration rights granted
to
purchasers of the Securities (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) pursuant
to Article 5 of the Subscription Agreement. By acceptance of this Warrant,
the
Holder agrees to comply with the provisions in Article 5 of the Subscription
Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party thereto.
(b) Until
all
of the Warrant Shares and any shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder have
been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144(k), so long
as
the Company’s Common Stock remains registered under the Act, the Company shall
use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission all current reports and the information as may be necessary to enable
the Holder to effect sales of its shares in reliance upon Rule 144(k)
promulgated under the Act.
6. Investment
Intent; Limited Transferability.
(a) By
accepting this Warrant, the Holder represents to the Company that it understands
that this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant
have not been registered for sale under Federal or state securities laws and
are
being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from
the
registration requirements of such securities laws. In the absence of an
effective registration of such securities or an exemption therefrom, any
certificates for such securities shall bear the legend set forth on the first
page hereof. The Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of
its
investment in this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this
Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such securities
have not been registered under Federal or state securities laws and therefore
cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, unless an
exemption from such registration is available. The Holder further represents
to
the Company, by accepting this Warrant, that it has full power and authority
to
accept this Warrant and make the representations set forth herein.
(b) The
Holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that it
is
acquiring this Warrant and will acquire any securities obtainable upon exercise
of this Warrant for its own account for investment and not with a view to,
or
for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Act.
The Holder agrees, by acceptance of this Warrant, that this Warrant and any
such
securities will not be sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration
statement with respect to such transfer is effective under the Act and any
applicable state securities laws or (ii) such sale or transfer is made pursuant
to one or more exemptions from the Act.
(c) In
addition to the limitations set forth in Section 1 and in accordance with the
legend on the first page hereof, this Warrant may not be sold, transferred,
assigned or hypothecated by the Holder except in compliance with the provisions
of the Act and the applicable state securities “blue sky” laws, and is so
transferable only upon the books of the Company which it shall cause to be
maintained for such purpose. The Company may treat the registered Holder of
this
Warrant as it appears on the Company's books at any time as the Holder for
all
purposes. The Company shall permit any Holder of a Warrant or its duly
authorized attorney, upon written request during ordinary business hours, to
inspect and copy or make extracts from its books showing the registered Holders
of Warrant. All Warrants issued upon the transfer or assignment of this Warrant
will be dated the same date as this Warrant, and all rights of the holder
thereof shall be identical to those of the Holder unless, in each case,
otherwise prohibited by applicable law.
(d) The
Holder has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has
deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company
concerning the terms and conditions of the Warrants or the exercise of the
Warrants; and (ii) the opportunity to request such additional information which
the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or
expense.
(e) The
Holder did not (i) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or
other
communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast
over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or
(ii) attend any seminar, meeting or investor or other conference whose attendees
were, to such Holder’s knowledge, invited by any general solicitation or general
advertising.
(f) The
Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the
Act. Such Holder is acquiring the Warrants for its own account and not with
a
present view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in
violation of the registration requirements of the Act, without prejudice,
however, to such Holder’s right, subject to the provisions of the Subscription
Agreement and this Warrant, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all
or
any part of such Warrants and Warrant Shares.
(g) Either
by
reason of such Holder’s business or financial experience or the business or
financial experience of its professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with
and
who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate, finder or selling
agent
of the Company, directly or indirectly), such Holder has the capacity to protect
such Holder’s interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Warrant and the Subscription Agreement. The Holder, by its acceptance of this
Warrant, represents to the Company that it is able to fend for itself, can
bear
the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in
financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in this Warrant. Holder also represents it has not
been
organized for the purpose of acquiring this Warrant.
7. Optional
Redemption.
(a) In
the
event that the closing price of the Common Stock for any thirty (30) consecutive
Trading Days on the American Stock Exchange (or upon another national securities
exchange or over-the-counter market, if then applicable) is at least 300% of
the
Per Share Warrant Price (subject to adjustment for any stock splits,
combinations, or similar events with respect to the Common Stock after the
original issuance date of this Warrant) (the “Redemption
Price”),
the
Company shall be entitled to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Warrants
at a per Warrant redemption price of $0.01, at any time after the completion
of
such thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period by providing thirty (30)
business days’ written notice to the Holders. The Holder agrees to return the
certificate representing the redeemed Warrants to the Company upon their
redemption (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant in accordance with Section
8
hereof).
(b) Notwithstanding
Section 7(a) hereof, for so long as any Warrant Shares are not subject to a
registration statement declared effective by the SEC or are not otherwise
permitted to be immediately sold, in whole, pursuant to an exemption to
registration for such resale, including pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Act,
the
Company shall not be entitled to exercise its redemption rights pursuant to
Section 7(a) above.
8. Loss,
etc., of Warrant.
Upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and
deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like date, tenor and
denomination.
9. Warrant
Holder Not Stockholder.
This
Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any right to vote on or consent to
or
receive notice as a stockholder of the Company, as such, in respect of any
matters whatsoever, nor any other rights or liabilities as a stockholder, prior
to the exercise hereof; this Warrant does, however, require certain notices
to
Holders as set forth herein.
10. Communication.
No
notice or other communication under this Warrant shall be effective or deemed
to
have been given unless, the same is in writing and is mailed by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, or via recognized overnight courier with confirmed
receipt, addressed to:
(a) the
Company at Manhattan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 810 Seventh Avenue, 4th Floor,
New York, New York 10019, Attn: President, or other such address as the Company
has designated in writing to the Holder;
or
(b) the
Holder at the address last
furnished to the Company in writing by the Holder.
11. Headings.
The
headings of this Warrant have been inserted as a matter of convenience and
shall
not affect the construction hereof.
12. Applicable
Law.
This
Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the
State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof.
13. Amendment,
Waiver, etc.
Except
as expressly provided herein, neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may
be
amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument
signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought; provided, however, that any provision hereof
may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated upon the written consent of
the
Company and the Majority of the Holders and such amendment, waiver, discharge
or
termination shall be effective with respect to the Company and all
Holders.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF,
the
Company has caused this Warrant to be signed by the undersigned duly authorized
officer, this 30 day of March, 2007.

PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
Warrant
for the Purchase of Shares of
Common
Stock
No. 2007PBI-1 |
509,275 Shares
|
FOR
VALUE
RECEIVED, MANHATTAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”),
hereby certifies that Paramount BioCapital, Inc., its designee or its permitted
assigns is entitled to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time
to
time commencing on September 30, 2007 and prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City
time, on March 30, 2012 (the “Exercise
Period”),
Five
Hundred Nine Thousand Two Hundred Seventy Five (509,275) fully paid and
non-assessable shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the
Company for a purchase price per share of $1.00. Hereinafter,
(i) said common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company, is referred
to as the “Common
Stock”;
(ii)
the shares of the Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth herein)
purchasable hereunder or under any other Warrant (as hereinafter defined) are
referred to as the “Warrant
Shares”;
(iii)
the aggregate purchase price payable for the Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder is referred to as the “Aggregate
Warrant Price”;
(iv)
the price payable (initially $1.00 per share subject to adjustment as set forth
herein) for each of the Warrant Shares hereunder is referred to as the
“Per
Share Warrant Price”;
(v)
this Warrant, all similar Warrants issued on the date hereof as a result of
the
Company’s obligations to issue “Placement Warrants” under that certain Placement
Agent Agreement dated February 6, 2007 between the Company and Paramount
BioCapital, Inc. (the “Placement
Agent Agreement”),
and
all warrants hereafter issued in exchange or substitution for this Warrant
or
such similar Warrants are referred to as the “Warrants”;
(vi)
the registered holder of this Warrant is referred to as the “Holder”
and
the
holder of this Warrant and all other Warrants and Warrant Shares are referred
to
as the “Holders”
and
Holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Warrant Shares then issuable
upon exercise of then outstanding Warrants are referred to as the “Majority
of the Holders”)
and
(vii) the then Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (the
“Current
Market Price”)
shall
be deemed to be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the Trading
Day (as defined below) immediately prior to such date or, in case no such
reported sales take place on such day, the average of the last reported bid
and
asked prices of the Common Stock on such day, in either case on the principal
national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is admitted to trading
or
listed, or if not listed or admitted to trading on any such exchange, the per
share sale price for the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported
by the OTC Bulletin Board or another over-the-counter market, or if not so
available, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined in good
faith
by the Company’s Board of Directors. A “Trading
Day”
shall
mean any day on which such principal exchange or market is open for trading,
or
if there is no such exchange or market, then any day except Saturdays, Sundays
or federal holidays. The Aggregate Warrant Price is not subject to
adjustment.
This
Warrant is originally issued in satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to
issue “Placement Warrants” pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agent
Agreement.
1. Exercise
of Warrant.
(a) This
Warrant may be exercised in whole at any time, or in part from time to time,
by
the Holder during the Exercise Period, as follows:
(i) This
Warrant may be exercised by the surrender of this Warrant (with the subscription
form at the end hereof duly executed) at the address set forth in subsection
10(a) hereof, together with proper payment of the Aggregate Warrant Price,
or
the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, with
payment for the Warrant Shares made by certified or official bank check payable
to the order of, or wire transfer of immediately available funds to, the
Company; or
(ii) This
Warrant may be exercised by the surrender of this Warrant (with the cashless
exercise form hereof duly executed) (a “Cashless
Exercise”)
at the
address set forth in subsection 10(a) hereof. Such presentation and surrender
shall be deemed a waiver of the Holder’s obligation to pay the Aggregate Warrant
Price, or the proportionate part thereof of this Warrant is exercised in part.
In the event of a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall exchange its Warrant
for
that number of Warrant Shares subject to such Cashless Exercise multiplied
by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the then
Current Market Price and the Per Shares Warrant Price, and the denominator
of
which shall be the Current Market Price in effect on the Trading Day immediately
preceding such Cashless Exercise.
(b) If
this
Warrant is exercised in part, this Warrant must be exercised for a number of
whole shares of the Common Stock and the Holder is entitled to receive a new
Warrant covering the Warrant Shares that have not been exercised and setting
forth the proportionate part of the Aggregate Warrant Price applicable to such
Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant in connection with the exercise
of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company will (i) issue a
certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder for the largest number
of
whole shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon
such
exercise and, if this Warrant is exercised in whole, in lieu of any fractional
share of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, pay to the
Holder cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such fractional share
(determined in such reasonable manner as the Board of Directors of the Company
shall determine), and (ii) deliver the other securities and properties
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the proportionate part thereof,
if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of this
Warrant.
2. Reservation
of Warrant Shares; Listing.
The
Company agrees that, prior to the expiration of this Warrant, the Company shall
at all times (a) have authorized and in reserve, and shall keep available,
solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, the shares
of the Common Stock and other securities and properties as from time to time
shall be receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, free and clear of all
restrictions on sale or transfer, other than under Federal or state securities
laws, and free and clear of all preemptive rights and rights of first refusal
and (b) as long as the Common Stock is listed on any national securities
exchange, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Warrant Shares
authorized for listing on such exchange upon notice of issuance.
3. Certain
Adjustments.
(a) In
case
the Company shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares
of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine or reverse-split
its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv)
issue
by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the
Company, then the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares
shall
forthwith be proportionately decreased and increased, respectively, in the
case
of a subdivision, distribution or stock dividend, or proportionately increased
and decreased, respectively, in the case of a combination or reverse stock
split. The Aggregate Warrant Price payable for the then total number
of
Warrant
Shares
available for exercise under this Warrant shall remain the same. Adjustments
made pursuant to this subsection 3(a) shall become effective on the record
date
in the case of a dividend or distribution, and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination
or reclassification. If such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination
is not consummated in full, the Per Share Warrant Price and Warrant Shares
shall
be readjusted accordingly.
(b) In
case
of any capital reorganization or reclassification, or any consolidation or
merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation
in
which the Company is the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or
conveyance to another entity of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or in the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another
corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of
a
third corporation into the Company but excluding any exchange of securities
or
merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation
and that does not result in any reclassification of or similar change in the
Common Stock), the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to
receive on the exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of securities,
cash
or other property which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to
receive immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance
and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in
the
application of the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the
rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that
the provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall thereafter correspondingly
be
made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares
of
stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise
of
this Warrant. The above provisions of this subsection 3(b) shall similarly
apply
to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers,
statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances. The Company shall require the issuer
of any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable
on
the exercise of this Warrant to be responsible for all of the agreements and
obligations of the Company hereunder. Notice of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance
and of said provisions so proposed to be made, shall be mailed to the Holders
of
the Warrants not less than twenty (20) days prior to such event. A sale of
all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company for a consideration consisting
primarily of securities shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the
foregoing purposes.
(c) No
adjustment in the Per Share Warrant Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.01 per share
of
Common Stock; provided,
however,
that
any adjustments which by reason of this subsection 3(c) are not required to
be
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment; provided,
further,
however, that adjustments shall be required and made in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3 (other than this subsection 3(c)) not later than
such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a
distribution, if any, to the Holder of this Warrant or Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise hereof. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made
to
the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
Anything in this Section 3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall
be
entitled to make such reductions in the Per Share Warrant Price, in addition
to
those required by this Section 3, as it in its discretion shall deem to be
advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares or
distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities convertible or
exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall
not be taxable.
(d) Whenever
the Per Share Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted as
provided in this Section 3 and upon any modification of the rights of a Holder
of Warrants in accordance with this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
prepare a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification
and the manner of computing the same and cause copies of such certificate to
be
mailed to the Holders of the Warrants. The Company may, but shall not be
obligated to unless requested by a Majority of the Holders, obtain, at its
expense, a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized
standing selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular auditors
of
the Company) setting forth the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant
Shares in effect after such adjustment or the effect of such modification,
a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification and
the
manner of computing the same and cause copies of such certificate to be mailed
to the Holders of the Warrants.
(e) If
the
Board of Directors of the Company shall declare any dividend or other
distribution with respect to the Common Stock other than a cash distribution
out
of earned surplus, the Company shall mail notice thereof to the Holders of
the
Warrants not less than ten (10) days prior to the record date fixed for
determining stockholders entitled to participate in such dividend or other
distribution.
(f) If,
as a
result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder of any
Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive
shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and
other capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination
shall be conclusive and shall be described in a written notice to the Holder
of
any Warrant promptly after such adjustment) shall determine, in good faith,
the
allocation of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price between or among shares
or
such classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital
stock.
(g) Upon
the
expiration of any rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges with
respect to the issuance of which an adjustment to the Per Share Warrant Price
had been made, if such option, right warrant or conversion shall not have been
exercised, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant, to the extent this Warrant has not then been exercised, shall, upon
such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be such as they would have
been had they been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not
been
required, as the case may be) on the basis of (A) the fact that Common Stock,
if
any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants
or conversion privileges, and (B) the fact that such shares of Common Stock,
if
any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company
upon such exercise plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the
Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all such rights, options, warrants
or
conversion privileges whether or not exercised; provided,
however,
that no
such readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant by an amount in excess of
the
amount of the adjustment initially made in respect of the issuance, sale or
grant of such rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges.
(h) In
case
any event shall occur as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are
not
strictly applicable but as to which the failure to make any adjustment would
not
fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance
with the essential intent and principles of the adjustments set forth in this
Section 3 then, in each such case, the Board of Directors of the Company shall
in good faith determine the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with
the
essential intent and principles established herein, necessary to preserve the
purchase rights represented by the Warrants. Upon such determination, the
Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder of this Warrant and
shall make the adjustments described therein.
4. Fully
Paid Stock; Taxes.
The
shares of the Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant
Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall, subject to compliance
by
the Holder with the terms hereof, at the time of such delivery, be duly
authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and
not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal imposed by any
agreement to which the Company is a party, and the Company will take all such
actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value, if any, per share
of
the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share
Warrant Price. The Company shall pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal
and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in respect
of the issue of any Warrant Share or any certificate thereof to the extent
required because of the issuance by the Company of such security.
5. Registration
Under Act.
(a) The
Holder shall have the right to participate in the registration rights granted
to
purchasers of the Securities, as such term is defined in the Placement Agent
Agreement; provided,
however,
that
the Holder shall
not
be entitled to any contractual penalty, liquidated damages or similar payments
to which the Company may become obligated to pay to such purchasers in
connection with the filing or effectiveness of the registration statement
covering the resale of such Securities.
(b) Until
all
of the Warrant Shares and any shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder have
been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144(k), so long
as
the Company’s Common Stock remains registered under the Act, the Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission all current reports and the information as may be necessary to enable
the Holder to effect sales of its shares in reliance upon Rule 144(k)
promulgated under the Act.
6. Investment
Intent; Limited Transferability.
(a) By
accepting this Warrant, the Holder represents to the Company that it understands
that this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant
have not been registered for sale under Federal or state securities laws and
are
being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from
the
registration requirements of such securities laws. In the absence of an
effective registration of such securities or an exemption therefrom, any
certificates for such securities shall bear the legend set forth on the first
page hereof. The Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of
its
investment in this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this
Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such securities
have not been registered under Federal or state securities laws and therefore
cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, unless an
exemption from such registration is available. The Holder further represents
to
the Company, by accepting this Warrant, that it has full power and authority
to
accept this Warrant and make the representations set forth herein.
(b) The
Holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that it
is
acquiring this Warrant and will acquire any securities obtainable upon exercise
of this Warrant for its own account for investment and not with a view to,
or
for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Act.
The Holder agrees, by acceptance of this Warrant, that this Warrant and any
such
securities issuable under this Warrant will not be sold or otherwise transferred
unless (i) a registration statement with respect to such transfer is effective
under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or (ii) such sale or
transfer is made pursuant to one or more exemptions from the Act.
(c) In
addition to the limitations set forth in Section 1 and in accordance with the
legend on the first page hereof, this Warrant may not be sold, transferred,
assigned or hypothecated by the Holder except in compliance with the provisions
of the Act and the applicable state securities “blue sky” laws, and is so
transferable only upon the books of the Company which it shall cause to be
maintained for such purpose. The Company may treat the registered Holder of
this
Warrant as it appears on the Company's books at any time as the Holder for
all
purposes. The Company shall permit any Holder of a Warrant or its duly
authorized attorney, upon written request during ordinary business hours, to
inspect and copy or make extracts from its books showing the registered Holders
of Warrant. All Warrants issued upon the transfer or assignment of this Warrant
will be dated the same date as this Warrant, and all rights of the holder
thereof shall be identical to those of the Holder unless, in each case,
otherwise prohibited by applicable law.
(d) The
Holder has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has
deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company
concerning the terms and conditions of the Warrants or the exercise of the
Warrants; and (ii) the opportunity to request such additional information which
the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or
expense.
(e) The
Holder did not (i) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or
other
communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast
over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or
(ii) attend any seminar, meeting or investor or other conference whose attendees
were, to such Holder’s knowledge, invited by any general solicitation or general
advertising.
(f) The
Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the
Act. Such Holder is acquiring the Warrants for its own account and not with
a
present view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in
violation of the registration requirements of the Act, without prejudice,
however, to such Holder’s right, subject to the provisions of the Placement
Agent Agreement and this Warrant, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose
of
all or any part of such Warrants and Warrant Shares.
(g) Either
by
reason of such Holder’s business or financial experience or the business or
financial experience of its professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with
and
who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate, finder or selling
agent
of the Company, directly or indirectly), such Holder has the capacity to protect
such Holder’s interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Warrant and the Placement Agent Agreement. The Holder, by its acceptance of
this
Warrant, represents to the Company that it is able to fend for itself, can
bear
the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in
financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in this Warrant. Holder also represents it has not
been
organized for the purpose of acquiring this Warrant.
7. Optional Redemption.
(a) In
the
event that the closing price of the Common Stock for any thirty (30) consecutive
Trading Days on the American Stock Exchange (or upon another national securities
exchange or over-the-counter market, if then applicable) is at least 300% of
the
Per Share Warrant Price (subject to adjustment for any stock splits,
combinations, or similar events with respect to the Common Stock after the
original issuance date of this Warrant) (the “Redemption
Price”),
the
Company shall be entitled to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Warrants
at a per Warrant redemption price of $0.01, at any time after the completion
of
such thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period by providing thirty (30)
business days’ written notice to the Holders. The Holder agrees to return the
certificate representing the redeemed Warrants to the Company upon their
redemption (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant in accordance with Section
8
hereof).
(b) Notwithstanding
Section 7(a) hereof, for so long as any Warrant Shares are not subject to a
registration statement declared effective by the SEC or are not otherwise
permitted to be immediately sold, in whole, pursuant to an exemption to
registration for such resale, including pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Act,
the
Company shall not be entitled to exercise its redemption rights pursuant to
Section 7(a) above.
8. Loss,
etc., of Warrant.

AGREEMENT
THIS
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)
made
as of the date set forth on the signature page hereof between Manhattan
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation having a place of business at
810
Seventh Avenue, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10019 (the “Company”),
and
the undersigned (the “Subscriber”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS,
the Company is offering (the “Offering”)
to a
limited number of “accredited investors,” as that term is defined by Rule 501(a)
of Regulation D (“Regulation
D”)
of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”),
units
of its securities each consisting of one share (each, a “Share”
and
collectively, the “Shares”)
of its
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common
Stock”)
and a
warrant (each a “Warrant,”
and
collectively, the “Warrants”
and
together with the Shares, the “Securities”)
to
purchase 35% of a share of Common Stock (the “Warrant
Shares”)
on
terms and conditions described in this Agreement;
WHEREAS,
the Offering is contingent upon the Company making sales of a number of
Securities which would provide
the Company with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000
(the
“Minimum
Offering”),
and
the
Company
will sell a maximum number
of
Securities which would result in aggregate gross proceeds of $7,500,000 (the
“Maximum
Offering”),
although the Company, in its discretion, may increase the Maximum Offering
by an
additional $2,500,000 to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment”);
WHEREAS,
Paramount BioCapital, Inc., is acting as exclusive placement agent (the
“Placement
Agent”)
for
the Offering; and
WHEREAS,
on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber desires to
purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to sell to the Subscriber,
a
number of Shares and Warrants.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual representations
and
covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as
follows:
1. |
PURCHASE
AND SALE OF SECURITIES.
|
1.1 Offering.
The
Company is offering to a limited number of persons who qualify as “accredited
investors” as defined by Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, the Securities on terms
and conditions described in this Agreement. The Minimum Offering will be offered
on an “all or none, best efforts” basis. The Maximum Offering and the
Over-Allotment, if exercised, will be offered on a “best efforts” basis. The
Subscriber understands, however, that this purchase of the Securities is
contingent upon the Company making aggregate sales of Securities equal to or
exceeding the Minimum Offering. The Securities are being offered in units,
with
each unit consisting of one Share and a Warrant to purchase 35% of one Share
(rounded down to the nearest whole share), at a purchase price per unit equal
to
the lesser of (i) $0.84 and (ii) the average closing sale price of the Common
Stock as reported on the American Stock Exchange during the five business days
immediately preceding the Closing Date, rounded to the nearest cent (the
“Market
Price”).
Each
Warrant shall be exercisable during the period commencing on the six month
anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the five-year anniversary of
the
Closing Date. The Warrant shall be exercisable at a price per Warrant Share
equal to 110% of the Market Price, but in no event less than the last closing
sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the
Closing. Further, in the event that the closing sale price of the Common Stock
for any 30 consecutive trading days is at least 300% of the Warrant exercise
price, the Company shall be entitled to redeem not less than all of the Warrants
at a per Warrant redemption price of $0.01, by providing 30 business days’
written notice to the holder. In
the
event that the Company decides to redeem the Warrants pursuant to this
Section
1.1,
such
holders may
exercise this Warrant
during
such
30-day period. The Warrant shall be in substantially the
form
attached as an
exhibit
to the
Memorandum (as defined below).
1.2 Closing.
At each
closing (each a “Closing,”
and
the date thereof, the “Closing
Date”),
provided the Company has received subscriptions and proceeds for the amount
of
the Minimum Offering, the Company shall issue and sell to the Subscriber and
the
Subscriber shall purchase from the Company, (a) a number of Shares resulting
from dividing the Subscriber’s “Aggregate
Purchase Price”
set
forth on the signature page hereof (and as further described below) by the
Market Price (rounded down to the nearest whole Share) and (b) Warrants to
purchase a number of Warrant Shares equal to 35% of the Shares purchased by
the
Subscriber; provided, however, that the Company and Placement Agent may, in
their sole discretion, accept a lesser amount of Aggregate Purchase Price from
the Subscriber.
1.3 Closing
Mechanics.
The
Closing shall be held at a date and time designated by the Company and the
Placement Agent prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 28, 2007
(subject to extension at the discretion of the Company and the Placement Agent
without notice to the Subscriber of up to 60 days), which date shall be no
later
than five (5) Business Days (as defined in Article
5)
after
satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in Article
4
hereof.
The Closing shall occur at the offices of the Placement Agent, located at 787
Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019. Upon
satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Closing, the Placement Agent
and
the Company shall instruct US Bank Trust National Association, as escrow agent
(the “Escrow
Agent”),
to
release the proceeds of the Offering to the Company, less fees and expenses
due
to the Placement Agent. Interest, if any, that has accrued with respect to
the
Aggregate Purchase Price while in escrow shall also be distributed to the
Company at the Closing and the Subscriber will have no right to such interest,
even if there is no Closing.
1.4 Payment
of Aggregate Purchase Price.
Upon,
or prior to, the execution of this Agreement by the Subscriber, the Subscriber
shall deposit the amount of readily available funds equal to the Aggregate
Purchase Price, as set forth on the signature page hereof, in a segregated
escrow account with the Escrow Agent by check or wire transfer of immediately
available funds pursuant to the instructions provided below. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the
Company’s and the Placement Agent’s option, each at its sole discretion, to
refuse to accept subscriptions, in whole or in part, from any Subscriber),
the
Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such
number of Shares and Warrants, as determined in accordance with Section
1.2
above,
and the Company agrees to sell such number of Shares and Warrants as accepted
by
the Company and the Placement Agent.

2. |
REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF SUBSCRIBER.
|
The
Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof
and the Closing Date as follows:
2.1 The
Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the purchase of the
Securities involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the
following: (i) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only
investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider
investing in the Company and the Securities; (ii) the Subscriber may not be
able
to liquidate its investment; (iii) transferability of the Securities is
extremely limited; (iv) in the event of a disposition of the Securities, the
Subscriber could sustain the loss of its entire investment; and (v) since the
Company has been a publicly-traded company, the Company has not paid any
dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate the payment of dividends
in the foreseeable future.
2.2 The
Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as indicated by the
Subscriber’s responses to the questions contained in the Confidential Investor
Questionnaire, which are true and correct as of the date hereof and shall be
true and correct as of the Closing Date, and that the Subscriber is able to
bear
the economic risk of an investment in the Company. If the Subscriber is a
natural person, the Subscriber has reached the age of majority in the state
or
other jurisdiction in which the Subscriber resides, has adequate means of
providing for the Subscriber’s current financial needs and contingencies, is
able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Securities
for an indefinite period of time, has no need for liquidity in such investment
and, at the present time, could afford a complete loss of such
investment.
2.3 The
Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Subscriber is
knowledgeable, sophisticated and has experience in making, and is qualified
to
make, decisions with respect to investments representing an investment decision
like that involved in the purchase of the Securities and has prior investment
experience; (ii) the investment in the Securities is of a highly speculative
nature and involves a significant degree of risk, that the market price of
the
Common Stock has been and continues to be volatile and that Subscriber has
carefully evaluated the risks of an investment in the Securities; and (iii)
the
Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities
and the potential loss of such investment, which risk the Subscriber hereby
assumes.
2.4 The
Subscriber has received and carefully reviewed this Agreement, the Company’s
Confidential Offering Memorandum dated February 12, 2007 (together with all
exhibits, appendices, supplements or amendments thereto, the “Memorandum”),
including the following documents filed by the Company with the Securities
and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”,
and
such documents, the “SEC
Filings”)
and
included as exhibits to the Memorandum: Form 10-KSB for the year ended December
31, 2005; Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14-A filed on November 17,
2006; Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended March 31, 2006
(as
amended), June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006; and Current Reports on Form
8-K
filed on August 14, 2006, January 12, 2007 and February 5, 2007. The Subscriber
further represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during
the course of this transaction with all information regarding the Company which
the Subscriber, its investment advisor, attorney and/or accountant has requested
or desired to know or which is otherwise relevant to an investment decision,
has
been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from
duly
authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the
terms
and conditions of the Offering, and has received any additional information
which the Subscriber or its advisors or agents has requested.
2.5 (a) The
Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in
making the decision to invest in the Securities. The Subscriber is familiar
with
and understands the terms of the Offering, including the rights to which the
Subscriber is entitled under this Agreement. In evaluating the suitability
of an
investment in the Company, the Subscriber has not relied upon any representation
or other information (whether oral or written) from the Company, or any agent,
employee or Affiliate of the Company other than as set forth in the Memorandum,
in this Agreement or resulting from the results of the Subscriber’s own
independent investigation. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that
nothing in this Agreement, the Memorandum or any other materials provided to
the
Subscriber in connection with the subscription for the Securities or sale of
the
Securities constitutes investment, tax or legal advice. To the extent deemed
necessary or advisable by the Subscriber in its sole discretion, the Subscriber
has retained, at its sole expense, and relied upon appropriate professional
advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this
Agreement and its purchase of the Securities hereunder.
(b) No
Securities were offered or sold to the Subscriber by means of any form of
general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith the
Subscriber did not: (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice
or
other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or
broadcast over television or radio whether closed circuit, or generally
available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference
whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general
advertising.
2.6 The
Subscriber, either by reason of the Subscriber’s business or financial
experience or the business or financial experience of the Subscriber’s
professional advisors, has the capacity to protect the Subscriber’s own
interests in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.
2.7 The
Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Offering has not been
reviewed, recommended or endorsed by the SEC or any state securities regulatory
authority or other governmental body or agency, since the Offering is intended
to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities
Act pursuant to Regulation D. The Subscriber shall not sell or otherwise
transfer the Securities unless such transfer is registered under the Securities
Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Subscriber
understands that if required by the laws or regulations or any applicable
jurisdictions, the Offering contemplated hereby will be submitted to the
appropriate authorities of such state(s) for registration of exemption
therefrom.
2.8 The
Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Securities have not
been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a claimed exemption
under the provisions of the Securities Act which depends, in part, upon the
Subscriber’s investment intention and the truth and accuracy of, and
Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, acknowledgments
and covenants of Subscriber set forth herein. In this connection, the Subscriber
hereby represents that the representations, warranties, acknowledgments and
covenants of Subscriber set forth herein are true and correct, Subscriber will
comply with the covenants set forth herein, and the Subscriber is purchasing
the
Securities for the Subscriber’s own account for investment purposes only and not
with a view toward the resale or distribution to others and has no contract,
undertaking, agreement or other arrangement, in existence or contemplated,
to
sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer the Securities to any other Person
(as defined in Article
5).
The
Subscriber, if an entity, also represents that it was not formed for the purpose
of purchasing the Securities. The Subscriber has no current plans to effect
a
“change of control” of the Company, as such term is understood in Rule 13d of
the Exchange Act.
2.9 The
Subscriber understands that the Securities will not be registered or available
for sale in the public markets except as specifically provided herein, and
Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule
144”)
requires, among other conditions, a one-year holding period prior to the resale
(in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering (and a
two-year holding period for unlimited sales by non-Affiliates of the Company)
without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities
Act. The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is
under no obligation to register any of the Securities under the Securities
Act
or any state securities or “blue sky” laws or assist the Subscriber in obtaining
an exemption from various registration requirements, other than as set forth
in
Article
5
herein.
2.10 The
Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other
document evidencing the Securities substantially as set forth below, that such
Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions
on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement. The Subscriber
is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with
respect to the restrictions on the transferability of the Securities.
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND
RESALE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
AND
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE
AND SCOPE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.
2.11 The
Subscriber agrees to supply
the Company, within five (5) days after the Subscriber receives the request
therefor from the Company, with such additional information concerning the
Subscriber as the Company deems necessary or advisable in order to establish
or
verify the Subscriber’s representations contained herein.
2.12 The
address of the Subscriber furnished by Subscriber on the signature page hereof
is the Subscriber’s principal residence if Subscriber is an individual or its
principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.
2.13 The
Subscriber has full power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute,
deliver, and perform this Agreement and to purchase the Securities and has
taken
all action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance
with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and to limitations
of public policy.
2.14 If
the
Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust,
employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other
entity (a) it is authorized and qualified to become an investor in the Company
and the Person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly
authorized by such entity to do so and (b) it is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization.
2.15 The
Subscriber acknowledges that if he or she is a Registered Representative of
an
NASD member firm, he or she must give such firm the notice required by NASD
Rule
3050, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such firm in Section
7.4
below in
accordance with such rules.
2.16 The
Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that this subscription may
be
rejected, in whole or in part, by the Company or the Placement Agent, in each
of
their sole and absolute discretion, at any time before any Closing Date
notwithstanding prior receipt by the Subscriber of notice of acceptance of
the
Subscriber’s subscription. The Subscriber hereby authorizes and directs the
Company to return, without interest, any funds for unaccepted subscriptions
to
the same account from which the funds were drawn, including any customer account
maintained by the Subscriber with the Placement Agent.
2.17 The
Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees with the Company that except
as
otherwise set forth herein, the subscription hereunder is irrevocable by the
Subscriber, that, except as required by law, the Subscriber is not entitled
to
cancel, terminate or revoke this Agreement or any agreements of the Subscriber
hereunder and that this Agreement and such other agreements shall survive the
death or disability of the Subscriber and shall be binding upon and inure to
the
benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors,
legal representatives and permitted assigns. If the Subscriber is more than
one
Person, the obligations of the Subscriber hereunder shall be joint and several
and the agreements, representations, warranties and acknowledgments herein
contained shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon each such Person
and
its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and
permitted assigns.
2.18 The
Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees with the Company that, the
Offering is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act
by
virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation
D,
and/or the provisions of Regulation S which is in part dependent upon the truth,
completeness and accuracy of the statements made by the Subscriber.
2.19 The
Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that there can be no assurance
that the Subscriber will be able to sell or dispose of the Securities. It is
understood than in order not to jeopardize the Offering’s exempt status under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D, in addition to any other
restrictions on transfer set forth herein or in the Warrants, the Company may,
at a minimum, require any transferee to fulfill the Subscriber suitability
requirements thereunder and make the representations, warranties and covenants
of Subscriber hereunder.
2.20 The
Subscriber represents and warrants since the date that the Subscriber was first
contacted with respect to the Offering (the “First
Date”)
the
Subscriber has not, directly or indirectly, through related parties, Affiliates
or otherwise, sold “short” or “short against the box” (as such terms are
generally understood), and until the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are publicly announced, will not sell “short” or “short against the box” any
equity security of the Company or take any action with respect to any equity
security of the Company which would violate the Securities Act or the rules
and
regulations promulgated thereunder.
2.21 The
Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the existence of and
information contained in this Agreement, the Memorandum or otherwise made
available to the Subscriber by the Company (collectively, the “Confidential
Information”)
is to
be used solely for the purpose of evaluating a possible investment in the
Securities and is confidential and non-public and agrees that all such
Confidential Information shall be kept in confidence by the Subscriber and
neither used by the Subscriber for the Subscriber’s personal benefit (other than
in connection with evaluating a possible investment in the Securities) nor
disclosed to any third party for any reason and in any manner, notwithstanding
that a Subscriber’s subscription may not be accepted by the Company;
provided,
however,
that
this obligation shall not apply to any such Confidential Information that (i)
is
part of the public knowledge or literature and readily accessible at the date
hereof (except as a result of a breach of this provision by any party) or (ii)
becomes part of the public knowledge or literature and readily accessible by
publication (except as a result of a breach of this provision by any
party).
2.22 If
the
Subscriber is purchasing the Securities in a fiduciary capacity for another
Person, including without limitation a corporation, partnership, trust or any
other entity, the Subscriber has been duly authorized and empowered to execute
this Agreement and all other subscription documents, and such other Person
fulfills all the requirements for purchase of the Securities as such
requirements are set forth herein, concurs in the purchase of the Securities
and
agrees to be bound by the obligations, representations, warranties and covenants
contained herein. Upon request of the Company, the Subscriber will provide
true,
complete and correct copies of all relevant documents creating the Subscriber,
authorizing its investment in the Company and/or evidencing the satisfaction
of
the foregoing.
2.23 No
authorization, approval, consent or license of any Person is required to be
obtained for the purchase of the Securities
by the
Subscriber, other than as have been obtained and are in full force and effect.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation
of
the transactions contemplated hereby will not, result in any violation of or
constitute a default under any material agreement or other instrument to which
the Subscriber is a party or by which the Subscriber or any of its properties
are bound, or to the best of the Subscriber’s knowledge, any permit, franchise,
judgment, order, decree, statute, rule or regulation to which the Subscriber
or
any of its businesses or properties is subject.
2.24 The
Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the representations,
warranties and agreements of the Subscriber contained herein (including the
Confidential Investor Questionnaire), in the Registration Questionnaire attached
hereto as Appendix
A

Questionnaire”)

any other writing delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated

REPRESENTATIONS
BY AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Subscriber as of the date this
Agreement is accepted by the Company hereof and, if later, the Closing Date
that:
3.1 Organization,
Good Standing and Qualification.
The
Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full corporate power and
authority to conduct its business as currently conducted. The Company is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in
every jurisdiction in which the property owned or leased by it or the nature
of
the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to
the
extent that the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material
adverse effect on the business, operations, conditions (financial or otherwise),
properties, assets, liabilities, or results of operations of that entity
individually or of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) as a
whole (a “Material
Adverse Effect”).
For
purposes of this Section, “Subsidiary”
means
any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, or other
business entity in which the Company owns or controls, directly or indirectly,
any interest, including, without limitation, any joint venture, partnership,
or
similar arrangement.

The

Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of January 31, 2007, there
were 60,147,814 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, all of which
are
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and no shares
of
preferred stock outstanding. In addition, as of such date, there are 13,839,895
shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding options
and
warrants. All of the securities issued by the Company have been issued in
accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. Other than
as
set forth above, there are no other options, warrants, calls, rights,
commitments or agreements of any character to which the Company is a party
or by
which the Company is bound or obligating the Company to issue, deliver, sell,
repurchase or redeem, or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, repurchased or
redeemed, any shares of the capital stock of the Company or obligating the
Company to grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right,
commitment or agreement. Except as set forth in the Memorandum, there are no
preemptive rights or rights of first refusal or similar rights which are binding
on the Company permitting any Person to subscribe for or purchase from the
Company shares of its capital stock pursuant to any provision of law, the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (the
“Certificate of Incorporation”) or the Company’s By-laws, as in effect on the
date hereof (the “By-laws”) or by agreement or otherwise. Except as set forth in
the Memorandum, there are no securities or instruments containing anti-dilution
or similar provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of the Securities
as described in this Agreement. The Company has made available to the Placement
Agent true, correct and complete copies of the Company’s Certificate of

to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief
of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief
or
other equitable remedies, and to limitations of public policy. The Shares,
when
issued and fully paid for in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Warrant Shares, when
issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued,
full paid and non-assessable. The issuance and sale of the Securities
contemplated hereby will not give rise to any preemptive rights or rights of
first refusal on behalf of any person which have not been waived in connection
with this Offering.
3.4 No
Conflict; Governmental Consents.
(a) Except
as
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the
execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation
of
the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in the violation of any

of
any court or governmental authority to or by which the Company is bound, or
of
any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company,
and

There
is no pending, or to the Company’s knowledge, threatened legal or governmental
proceedings against the Company which (i) adversely questions the validity

consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (ii) could, if

5.2 Subject
to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Company will
use
its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC on
the
appropriate form (the “Initial
Registration Statement”)
on or
before the later of (A) forty-five (45) days following the final Closing Date,

for resale the Shares and the Warrant Shares (the “Additional
Registration Statement”)
and
(ii) in the event the Company files an Additional Registration Statement, to
file with the SEC as promptly as allowed one or more registration statements
on

Warrant Shares that were not registered for resale on the Additional
Registration Statement (the “Remainder
Registration Statements,”
and
collectively with the Initial Registration Statement and Additional Registration
Statement, the “Registration
Statements”
and
each, a “Registration
Statement”).
The
Company shall cause such Registration Statements to remain effective (the
“Registration
Period”)
until
the earlier of (i) the date on which such Registrable Securities are eligible
for resale under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act; or (ii) such time as all
Securities held by the Subscriber and registered under the Registration
Statements have been sold. To the extent permissible, such Registration
Statements also shall include, or subsequently be amended to include, to the
extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder
(including Rule 416 under the Securities Act), such indeterminate number of
additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends
or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. In the
event
(x) the Company has not filed the Initial Registration Statements by the Filing
Deadline, or (y) the Initial Registration Statement has not been declared
effective by the Registration Effective Date, then in either case the Company
shall make compensatory payments to the Holder in an amount equal to one percent
(1%) of the Aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Subscriber for each monthly
period (or prorated portion thereof) in which the Company is in default of
its
obligations under the first sentence of this Section
5.2.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the amount of
compensatory payments payable by the Company pursuant to this Section
5.2
exceed
ten percent (10%) of the Aggregate Purchase Price paid by each
Subscriber.
5.3 All
Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration,
qualification, exemption or compliance pursuant to Section
5.2
shall be
borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to the sale of securities
registered by or on behalf of Holders shall be borne by such
Holders.
5.4 In
the
case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by
the
Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request,
inform each Holder as to the status of such registration, qualification,
exemption and compliance. At its expense the Company shall:
(a) use
reasonable best efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification,
exemption or compliance under state or federal securities laws which the Company
determines to obtain, continuously effective until the termination of the
Registration Period;
(b) advise
the Holders as soon as practicable:
(i) when
any
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become
effective;
(ii) of
any
request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statements
or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;
(iii) of
the
issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statements or the initiation of any proceedings for such
purpose;
(iv) of
the
receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of
the
qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose; and
(v) of
the
happening of any event that requires the making of any changes in the
Registration Statements 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 (which notice will be accompanied by an instruction
to
suspend the use of the prospectus until such changes have been
made);
(c) make
every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement at the earliest possible
time;
(d) during
the Registration Period, deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies
of the prospectus included in such Registration Statements and any amendment
or
supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request; and the Company
consents to the use, consistent with the provisions hereof, of the prospectus
or
any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of
Registrable Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto.
(e) prior
to
any public offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statements, register or qualify or obtain an exemption for offer and sale under
the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any such 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
Statements in the sole discretion of the Company;
(f) upon
the
occurrence of any event contemplated by Section
5.4(b)(v)
above,
the Company shall promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to the applicable
Registration Statements or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file
any
other required document so that, as thereafter promptly delivered to purchasers
of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; and
(g) use
reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations
of
the SEC, and use commercially reasonable efforts to make generally available
to
its security holders not later than 45 days (or 90 days if the fiscal quarter
is
the fourth fiscal quarter) after the end of its fiscal quarter in which the
first anniversary date of the effective date of each Registration Statement
occurs, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of
the
Securities Act.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, it shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (h) of this
Section
5.4,
that
the Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself,
the
Securities to be sold by the Holder and the intended method of disposition
of
such Securities as shall be required to effect the registration of the
Securities, all of which information shall be furnished to the Company in
writing specifically for use in the Registration Statements.
5.5 The
Holders shall have no right to take any action to restrain, enjoin or otherwise
delay any registration pursuant to Section
5.2
hereof
as a result of any controversy that may arise with respect to the interpretation
or implementation of this Agreement.
5.6 (a) To
the
extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each Holder with respect
to
which any registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant
to this Agreement, 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
5.6(c)
below),
arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement)
of
a material fact contained in the Registration Statements, or any amendment
or
supplement thereof, incident to any such registration, qualification or
compliance, 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 (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities
Act,
the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities
Act, or the Exchange Act, and will reimburse each Holder for reasonable legal
and other 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 such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action arises out of, relates to or is based
upon: (i) 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 and stated to be specifically for use
in
preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus or offering circular;
or
(ii) the failure of the Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement respecting sales of Registrable Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except that the foregoing indemnity agreement
is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates primarily 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 amended
prospectus on file with the SEC at the time any Registration Statement becomes
effective or in the amended prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) or in the prospectus subject to completion under Rule 434
promulgated under the Securities Act, which together meet the requirements
of
Section 10(a) of the Securities Act (the “Final
Prospectus”),
such
indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any such Holder, any
such
underwriter or any such controlling Person, if a copy of the Final Prospectus
furnished by the Company to the Holder for delivery was not furnished by the
Holder to the Person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim, damage
or
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, damage or action.
(b) Each
Holder will severally, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are
included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or
compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors
and
officers, each underwriter of the Registrable Securities and each Person who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities 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
5.6(c)
below),
arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement)
of
a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or offering
circular, or any amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any such
registration, qualification or compliance, 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, each underwriter of the Registrable Securities and
each
Person controlling the Company for reasonable 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 and stated
to
be specifically for use in preparation of such registration statement,
prospectus or offering circular. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall a Holder be liable for any such claims, losses, damages or liabilities
in
excess of the net proceeds received by such Holder in the offering, except
in
the event of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by such Holder.
(c) Each
party entitled to indemnification under this Section
5.6
(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 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 Agreement, unless
such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending
such claim or litigation. 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).
(d) If
the
indemnification provided for in this Section
5.6
is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party
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 which 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 fact or the
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. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not
be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section
5.6(d)
was
based solely upon the number of entities from whom contribution was requested
or
by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this Section
5.6(d).
The
amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to
above in this Section
5.6(d)
shall be
deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action
or claim, subject to the provisions of Section
5.6(d)
hereof.
The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions
pursuant to this Section
5.6
were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which
does not take account of the equitable considerations as set forth in this
Section
5.6.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
5.6(d),
in no
event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount or make any other
payments under this Agreement which in the aggregate exceed the net proceeds
received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by
such
Registration Statement. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
5.7 (a) Each
Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of (i)
the
need
for an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the prospectus
forming a part thereof, (ii) that the Board of Directors has determined in
good
faith that offers and sales pursuant to the prospectus forming part of a
Registration Statement should not be made by reason of the presence of material
undisclosed circumstances or developments with respect to which the disclosure
that would be required in a Registration Statement would be premature or would
have a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) in
connection with a primary underwritten offering of equity securities of the
Company,
each
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to a Registration Statement contemplated by Section
5.2
until
its receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company
or confirmation of the filing of such report with the SEC by the Company, any
such prospectus to be forwarded promptly to the Holder by the Company, 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; provided,
that
the Company, may suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to
the Registration Statements pursuant to clause (ii) above not more
than
one time (not to exceed 30 days) during any
three
month period, nor
more
than two times (not to exceed 30 days each) in any twelve-month period.
(b) 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 or as shall be required in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance referred to in this Article
5,
including the information required by the Registration Questionnaire attached
hereto as Appendix
A.
(c) Each
Holder hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Registrable
Securities without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements
under the Securities Act to be satisfied.
(d) Each
Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Registrable Securities sold pursuant
to
the Registration Statements described in this Section 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.
(e) Each
Holder 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.
5.8 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, the Company shall use 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 unregistered 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.
5.9 The
right
to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders
by the Company under Section 5.2
may be
assigned in full by a Holder in connection with a transfer by such Holder of
its
Registrable Securities, but only if: (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected
in accordance with applicable securities laws; (ii) such Holder gives prior
written notice of the proposed transfer to the Company including the name and
address of such transferee and a copy of the transfer documents and agreements;
(iii) such transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by and
comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (iv) the transferee
is
an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D;
and (v) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement. Except
as
specifically permitted by this Section
5.9,
the
rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein
shall not be transferable to any other Person, the Company may impose stop
transfer orders with respect to any such transfer or attempted transfer, and
any
such transfer or attempted transfer shall be null and void.
5.10 The
Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities
covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange,
interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued
by the Company are then listed.
5.11 With
the
written consent of the Company and the Holders holding at least two-thirds
of
the Registrable Securities that are then outstanding, any provision of this
Article
5
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. Upon the effectuation of each such waiver or amendment, the Company
shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Holders, if any, who have
not
previously received notice thereof or consented thereto in writing.
5.12 The
legend set forth in Section 2.10 above shall be removed and the Company shall
issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon
which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the
applicable balance account at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”),
if
(i) such Securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act, (ii)
such Securities are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the
transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company) or Rule 144A, or (iii) such
Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k). If any portion of a Warrant
is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to
cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such Warrant Shares may be sold
under Rule 144(k), then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends.
Following the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement covering
the resale of Securities, or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer
required for certain Securities, the Company will no later than three (3)
Trading Days following the delivery by a Subscriber to the Company or the
Transfer Agent (with notice to the Company) of (i) a legended certificate
representing such Shares or Warrant Shares (endorsed or with stock powers
attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect
the
reissuance and/or transfer) or (ii) an exercise notice in the manner stated
in
the Warrants to effect the exercise of such Warrant in accordance with its
terms, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Subscriber a certificate
representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other
legends.
6.1 The

discretion. Unless terminated earlier in the Placement Agent’s or the Company’s
sole discretion, the Offering will expire on February 28, 2007, (as such date
may be extended by agreement of the Placement and the Company in their sole
discretion without notice to the Subscribers for an additional 60 days (the
“Termination

4

been satisfied or waived by such time.

of the Securities to each Subscriber is a separate sale.

“beneficial
owner”
of
a

(1) voting
power,
which
includes the power to vote, or direct the voting of, such security or
