      On March 26, 2004, Cytomedix, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 25, 2004
("Purchase Agreement"), with several accredited investors providing for the sale
and issuance of $2.8 million of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The
purchase price of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was $10,000 per share
and each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, subject
to certain adjustments, into 10,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The
Company also issued Series C-1 and Series C-2 Warrants to purchase an aggregate
of approximately 2.8 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$1.50. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 25, 2004, whereby the Company
agrees to register the resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of
the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the common stock issuable upon

stock at an exercise price of $1.00 and a term of five years. With regard to the

arrangement, the Company will pay BHP $5,000 per month and issue consulting
warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price of $1.00.
