Item 1.01
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.

Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The disclosures set forth in Item 1.01 are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

The forms of warrants issued to the investors in the offering and to the placement agent are attached to this report as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

Warrant for the Purchase of Shares of
Common Stock

Issuance Date: [                 ], 2007
 No. 2007-[   ]
___________  Shares
 
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:
 
   X =  Y(A-B)
          A
 
2

 
 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.
 
4

 
(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.
 
5

 
(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.

6

 
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.
 
7

 
(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

MANHATTAN 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

 
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.
 
3

 
(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.
 
4

 
(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.
 
5


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.
 
6


(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

 
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
 
8


(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 30th day of March, 2007.

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.

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.

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.

2.4  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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

(d) Person” shall mean any person, individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other nongovernmental entity or any governmental agency, court, authority or other body (whether foreign, federal, state, local or otherwise).

(e) The terms “register,” “registered” and “registration” refer to the registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of such registration statement.

(f) Registrable Securities” shall mean the Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Placement Warrant Shares and any shares of Common Stock issued as a dividend or distribution with respect to or in replacement of the Common Stock issued, directly or indirectly, in connection with this Offering; provided, however, that securities shall only be treated as Registrable Securities if and only for so long as they (i) have not been sold (A) pursuant to a registration statement; (B) to or through a broker, dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or a public securities transaction; and/or (C) in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(1) thereof so that all transfer restrictions and restrictive legends with respect thereto, if any, are removed upon the consummation of such sale; (ii) are not held by a Holder or a permitted transferee; and (iii) are not eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any successor thereto) under the Securities Act.

16

 
(g)  Registration Expenses” shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 5.2 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, escrow fees, fees and expenses of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding the fees of legal counsel for any Holder).

(h)  Selling Expenses” shall mean all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities and, except to the extent set forth in the definition of Registration Expenses, all fees and expenses of legal counsel for any Holder.

(i)  Subsidiary” shall mean, with respect to any Person, any other Person of which more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of stock or other interests entitled to vote in the election of directors or comparable Persons performing similar functions (excluding shares or other interests entitled to vote only upon the failure to pay dividends thereon or other contingencies) are at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries, by such Person.

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, or (B) ten (10) days following the date on which the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 is required to be filed with the SEC (the “Filing Deadline”), to allow the resale of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, and use its reasonable best efforts to have such Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC on or before the date which is seventy-five (75) days after the Filing Deadline (the “Registration Effective Date”); provided, however, in the event the Filing Deadline or Registration Effective Date do not fall on a Business Day, then the Filing Deadline or Registration Effective Date shall be deemed to be the next Business Day thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the SEC informs the Company that all of the Shares and Warrant Shares cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, be registered for resale on a single Registration Statement, the Company agrees to (i) promptly inform each of the holders thereof and use its best efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the SEC or to promptly withdraw the Initial Registration Statement and to file a registration statement covering the maximum number of Shares and Warrant Shares permitted to be registered by the SEC on Form S-3 or such other form available to register 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 Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Shares and 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.

17

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

18

 
(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.

19

 
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.

20

 
(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.

21

 
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.

22

 
(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.

23

 
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.
