INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
 
Item 1.01.  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreements Relating to Closing of Securities Purchases by KT&G Corporation and Rexgene Biotech Co., Ltd.

As previously reported, Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Rexahn,” “we” or “us”) entered into the following Securities Purchase Agreements:

·
an agreement dated as of on November 19, 2007 with KT&G Corporation, a Korean corporation (“KT&G”);
·
an agreement dated as of November 20, 2007 with Rexgene Biotech Co., Ltd., a Korean corporation (“Rexgene”);
·
an agreement dated as of December 17, 2007 with Jungwoo Family Co., Ltd., a Korean corporation (“Jungwoo”);
·
an agreement dated as of December 17, 2007 with Kumho Investment Bank, a Korean corporation (“Kumho Bank”); and
·
an agreement dated as of December 17, 2007 with 26 individual investors, each of whom is either a Korean corporation, or a natural person who is a citizen and resident of Korea (the “Individual Korean Investors”).

On December 24, 2007, we consummated certain of the transactions contemplated by the foregoing  Securities Purchase Agreements, and in connection therewith:

·
we issued to KT&G 2,142,858 shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 428,572 shares of our common stock for total consideration of $3,000,001.20;
·
we issued to Rexgene 714,286 shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 142,857 shares of our common stock for total consideration of $1,000,000.40;
·
we issued to Jungwoo 142,857 shares of our common stock and a warrant to acquire up to 28,571 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $199,999.80;
·
we issued to Kumho 357,143 shares of our common stock and a warrant to acquire up to 71,429 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $500,000.20; and
·
we issued to the Individual Korean Investors a total of 1,500,015 shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire up to 300,003 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $2,100,021.00.

The foregoing warrants are exercisable for a term of three years at an exercise price of $1.80 per share.  The warrants include customary terms providing for adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares subject to receipt upon exercise that are applicable in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, pro rata distributions, fundamental transactions and the like.  The warrants also are subject to “full ratchet” anti-dilution protection.  This means that if we issue a share of our common stock at a purchase price of less than $1.80, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to the lowest such price at which we issue any share of our common stock.  Certain securities issuances by us will not trigger this anti-dilution protection.

In connection with the foregoing transactions, we entered into a single Registration Rights Agreement with KT&G, Rexgene, Jungwoo, Kumho and each of the Individual Korean Investors.  Pursuant to this agreement, we agree to file a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering the resale of the common stock  issued to KT&G, Rexgene, Jungwoo, Kumho and each of the Individual Korean Investors as described above, and the common stock to be issued upon exercise of the warrants issued to such persons as described above.  We are obligated to file such resale registration statement with the SEC no later than 60 days after our common stock is listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange (the “AMEX”).  If we fail to file the resale registration statement by such date, or if we fail to take certain other actions required under the related Securities Purchase Agreements, we will be obligated to pay to KT&G, Rexgene, Jungwoo, Kumho and each of the Individual Korean Investors, each month, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to 2% of the amount of their respective investments pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements.  If we fail to pay the liquidated damages when and as due, we will be obligated to pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum.

The above description is not a complete statement of the partiesrights and obligations under the warrants and registration rights agreement described therein and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits.

Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As described above, on December 24, 2007, we consummated the sales of the following securities:

·
the sale to KT&G 2,142,858 shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 428,572 shares of our common stock for total consideration of $3,000,001.20;
·
the sale to Rexgene 714,286 shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 142,857 shares of our common stock for total consideration of $1,000,000.40;
·
the sale to Jungwoo 142,857 shares of our common stock and a warrant to acquire up to 28,571 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $199,999.80;
·
the sale to Kumho 357,143 shares of our common stock and a warrant to acquire up to 71,429 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $500,000.20; and
·
the sale to the Individual Korean Investors a total of 1,500,015 shares of our common stock and a warrant to acquire up to 300,003 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $2,100,021.00.
 
After payment of certain expenses, we received approximately $6,800,022.60 in net proceeds upon closing of the above-described sales of our securities.  We intend to use the proceeds of the sales for general corporate purposes.
 
On December 24, 2007, we also issued a warrant to purchase 107,144 shares of our common stock at $1.80 per share to a Korean citizen and resident who assisted us in connection with the placement of certain of our securities, but did not pay any other related underwriting discounts or commissions.
 
The foregoing offers and sales of our securities occurred outside the United States to persons other than U.S. persons in offshore transactions meeting the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act.  Such offers and sales also were made in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D and/or Regulation S thereunder.  Such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act.

WARRANT
 
Warrant No. A-1
Dated:  December 24, 2007

REXAHN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, KT&G Corporation or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of 428,572 shares of the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $1.80 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and through and including the date that is three years from the date of issuance hereof (the “Expiration Date”, as adjusted pursuant to Section 4(a)), and subject to the following terms and conditions.  This warrant (this “Warrant”) is issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2007, by and between the Company and KT&G Corporation (the “Purchase Agreement”).
 
1

 
1.  Definitions.  In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.  As used herein, the term “Closing Price” means, as of any date, the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the primary Eligible Market for such date.
 
2.  Registration of Warrant.  The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
3.  Registration of Transfers.  The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto on Annex B duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its address specified herein.  Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.  The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
 
4.  Exercise and Duration of Warrant.
 
a)  This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date.  At 18:30 (New York City time) on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value; provided that, if the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Expiration Date exceeds the Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the extent not previously exercised) on a “cashless exercise” basis at 18:30 (New York City time) on the Expiration Date if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Expiration Date shall be extended for each day following the Effective Date of the initial Registration Statement that such Registration Statement is not effective.
 
b)  A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto on Annex A (the “Exercise Notice”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice and if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.”  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
2

 
5.  Delivery of Warrant Shares.
 
a)  Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.  The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date.  The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and provided a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is then in effect, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
 
b)  This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares.  Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
c)  The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant  as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
6.  Charges, Taxes and Expenses.   Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or a Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof.  The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
 
3

 
7.  Replacement of Warrant.  If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.  Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.
 
8.  Reservation of Warrant Shares.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
 
9.  Certain Adjustments.  The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
 
a)  Stock Dividends and Splits.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the product of (x) the existing Exercise Price multiplied by (y) a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
 
b)  Pro Rata Distributions.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all of its holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “Distributed Property”), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such record date) to equal the product of (x) the existing Exercise Price multiplied by (y) a fraction of which the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices for the 30 Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) such record date and of which the numerator shall be such average less the then fair market value of the Distributed Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as reasonably determined by Company.
 
4

 
c)  Fundamental Transactions.  If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange, pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”).  The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that:
 
(x)           this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate Consideration in accordance with this Section 9(c),
 
(y)           in the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance such successor or purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company’s obligations under this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement, and

(z)           if registration or qualification is required under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or applicable state law for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock and other securities so issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such registration or qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination or sale.
 
If, in the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the Alternate Consideration includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Fundamental Transaction, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.  At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof.  The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.  If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934 Act with respect to the Company in which the consideration issued consists principally of cash or stock in a non-public company, then at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
 
d)  Subsequent Equity Sales.
 
i)           If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues Additional Shares of Stock (as defined below) at an effective net price to the Company (the “Diluted Price”) that is less than the Exercise Price as adjusted hereunder to such date, then and in each such case the then-effective Exercise Price shall be reduced, as of the close of business on the date of such issue or sale, to equal the Diluted Price.
 
ii)           No adjustment shall be made under this Section 9(d) upon the issuance by the Company of warrants or options to purchase Common Stock or preferred stock, and any adjustment  in connection with such options or warrants shall be made at the time such options or warrants are exercised and the Company issues Common Stock or preferred stock, as applicable, to the holder thereof.
 
iii)           For purposes of this Section 9(d), “Additional Shares of Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock issued by the Company, other than: (1) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of any shares of preferred stock of the Company; (2) shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock and/or warrants and/or options (and the Common Stock or preferred stock issued upon the exercise of such warrants and/or options), issued before or after the Closing Date to directors, officers, employees, consultants and other advisors of the Company and which are approved by at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company; and  (3) shares of Common Stock or preferred stock or other rights issued in connection with any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like.
 
6

 
e)  Number of Warrant Shares.  Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (d) of this Section 9, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
 
f)  Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
 
g)  Notice of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly, but in any event no later than ten Trading Days after such occurrence compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.  Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.
 
h)  Notice of Corporate Events.  If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
 
7

 
10.  Payment of Exercise Price.  The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement did not become effective on or before the Required Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and is not continuously effective through the Expiration Date, the Holder may satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
 
 
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
   
where:
 
   
 
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
   
 
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
   
 
A = the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices for the 30 Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
   
 
B = the Exercise Price.

 
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
 
11.  Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.  If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 11, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
 
12.  Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 12 prior to 18:30 (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 12 on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 18:30 (New York City time) and earlier than 24:00 (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
 
8

 
13.  Warrant Agent.  The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant.  Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent.  Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act.  Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
 
14.  Miscellaneous.
 
a)  Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the first page hereof and provided that any transferee is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (i) agrees to all the terms herein and the terms in the Purchase Agreement, with respect to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, that apply to the Purchasers, (ii) provides investment purposes representations with respect to this Warrant and the Warrant Shares comparable to Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement and (iii) at least 100,000 Warrant Shares (appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, split or combination of Common Stock) may be acquired under the assigned Warrant, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder.  This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction.  This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.  This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.
 
b)  The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which unreasonably interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
 
c)  GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA  WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS WARRANT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.  THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
 
9

 
d)  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
 
e)  In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

WARRANT
 
Warrant No. A-2
Dated:  December 24, 2007

REXAHN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, Rexgene Biotech Co., Ltd. or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of 142,857 shares of the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $1.80 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and through and including the date that is three years from the date of issuance hereof (the “Expiration Date”, as adjusted pursuant to Section 4(a)), and subject to the following terms and conditions.  This warrant (this “Warrant”) is issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2007, by and between the Company and Rexgene Biotech Co., Ltd. (the “Purchase Agreement”).
 
 
 

 
 
1.           Definitions.  In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.  As used herein, the term “Closing Price” means, as of any date, the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the primary Eligible Market for such date.
 
2.           Registration of Warrant.  The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
3.           Registration of Transfers.  The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto on Annex B duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its address specified herein.  Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.  The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
 
4.           Exercise and Duration of Warrant.
 
a)           This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date.  At 18:30 (New York City time) on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value; provided that, if the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Expiration Date exceeds the Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the extent not previously exercised) on a “cashless exercise” basis at 18:30 (New York City time) on the Expiration Date if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Expiration Date shall be extended for each day following the Effective Date of the initial Registration Statement that such Registration Statement is not effective.
 
b)           A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto on Annex A (the “Exercise Notice”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice and if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.”  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
 
 

 
 
5.           Delivery of Warrant Shares.
 
a)           Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.  The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date.  The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and provided a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is then in effect, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
 
b)           This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares.  Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
c)           The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant  as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
6.           Charges, Taxes and Expenses.   Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or a Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof.  The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
 
 
 

 
 
7.           Replacement of Warrant.  If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.  Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.
 
8.           Reservation of Warrant Shares.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
 
9.           Certain Adjustments.  The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
 
a)           Stock Dividends and Splits.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the product of (x) the existing Exercise Price multiplied by (y) a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
 
b)           Pro Rata Distributions.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all of its holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “Distributed Property”), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such record date) to equal the product of (x) the existing Exercise Price multiplied by (y) a fraction of which the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices for the 30 Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) such record date and of which the numerator shall be such average less the then fair market value of the Distributed Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as reasonably determined by Company.
 
 
 

 
 
c)           Fundamental Transactions.  If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange, pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”).  The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that:
 
(x)           this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate Consideration in accordance with this Section 9(c),
 
(y)           in the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance such successor or purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company’s obligations under this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement, and
 
(z)           if registration or qualification is required under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or applicable state law for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock and other securities so issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such registration or qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination or sale.
 
 
 

 
 
If, in the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the Alternate Consideration includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Fundamental Transaction, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.  At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof.  The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.  If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934 Act with respect to the Company in which the consideration issued consists principally of cash or stock in a non-public company, then at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
 
d)           Subsequent Equity Sales.
 
i)           If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues Additional Shares of Stock (as defined below) at an effective net price to the Company (the “Diluted Price”) that is less than the Exercise Price as adjusted hereunder to such date, then and in each such case the then-effective Exercise Price shall be reduced, as of the close of business on the date of such issue or sale, to equal the Diluted Price.
 
ii)           No adjustment shall be made under this Section 9(d) upon the issuance by the Company of warrants or options to purchase Common Stock or preferred stock, and any adjustment  in connection with such options or warrants shall be made at the time such options or warrants are exercised and the Company issues Common Stock or preferred stock, as applicable, to the holder thereof.
 
iii)           For purposes of this Section 9(d), “Additional Shares of Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock issued by the Company, other than: (1) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of any shares of preferred stock of the Company; (2) shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock and/or warrants and/or options (and the Common Stock or preferred stock issued upon the exercise of such warrants and/or options), issued before or after the Closing Date to directors, officers, employees, consultants and other advisors of the Company and which are approved by at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company; and  (3) shares of Common Stock or preferred stock or other rights issued in connection with any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like.
 
 
 

 
 
e)           Number of Warrant Shares.  Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (d) of this Section 9, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
 
f)           Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
 
g)           Notice of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly, but in any event no later than ten Trading Days after such occurrence compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.  Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.
 
h)           Notice of Corporate Events.  If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
 
10.           Payment of Exercise Price.  The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement did not become effective on or before the Required Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and is not continuously effective through the Expiration Date, the Holder may satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
 
 
 

 
 
 
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
   
where:
 
   
 
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
   
 
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
   
 
A = the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices for the 30 Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
   
 
B = the Exercise Price.

 
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
 
11.           Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.  If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 11, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
 
12.           Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 12 prior to 18:30 (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 12 on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 18:30 (New York City time) and earlier than 24:00 (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
 
 
 

 
 
13.           Warrant Agent.  The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant.  Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent.  Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act.  Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
 
14.           Miscellaneous.
 
a)           Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the first page hereof and provided that any transferee is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (i) agrees to all the terms herein and the terms in the Purchase Agreement, with respect to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, that apply to the Purchasers, (ii) provides investment purposes representations with respect to this Warrant and the Warrant Shares comparable to Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement and (iii) at least 100,000 Warrant Shares (appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, split or combination of Common Stock) may be acquired under the assigned Warrant, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder.  This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction.  This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.  This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.
 
b)           The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which unreasonably interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
 
c)           GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA  WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS WARRANT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.  THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
 
 
 

 
 
d)           The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
 
e)           In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

2.           Shelf Registration.

(a)           On or prior to the Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a “Shelf” Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities eligible to be registered under the 1933 Act and rules and practices of the SEC for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.  The Registration Statement shall be on Form SB-2 (or Form S-3 if the Company is then eligible to use such Form) and shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Holders) the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A.  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the 1933 Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the Required Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the 1933 Act until the earliest of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, (ii) when all Registrable Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, and (iii) when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold (the “Effectiveness Period”).  The Company shall notify each Holder in writing promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) after receiving notification from the SEC that a Registration Statement has been declared effective.

(b)           The Registration Statement to be filed hereunder shall cover the sale by the Holders of 120% of the Actual Minimum number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Transaction Documents.  As promptly as possible, and in any event no later than the Post-Effective Amendment Filing Deadline, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Post-Effective Amendment, if required under this Agreement.  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Post-Effective Amendment to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the 15th Trading Day after the Post-Effective Amendment Filing Deadline.  The Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) after receiving notification from the SEC that the Post-Effective Amendment has been declared effective.

(c)           If:  (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date (if the Company files such Registration Statement without affording the Purchaser the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a) hereof, the Company shall not be deemed to have satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the 1933 Act, within five Trading Days after the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that a Registration Statement will not be “reviewed,” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) the Registration Statement filed hereunder is not declared effective by the SEC by the Required Effectiveness Date, or (iv) a Post-Effective Amendment is not filed on or prior to the Post-Effective Amendment Filing Deadline or is not declared effective on or prior to the 15th Trading Day after the Post-Effective Amendment Filing Deadline, or (v) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from trading on an Eligible Market for a period of five consecutive Trading Days, or (vi) the Company fails for any reason to deliver a certificate evidencing any Securities to the Purchaser within five Trading Days after delivery of such certificate is required pursuant to any Transaction Document or the exercise rights of the Purchaser pursuant to the Transaction Documents are otherwise suspended for any reason (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i), (iii) or (iv) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (ii) and (vi) the date on which such five Trading Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (v) the date on which such three Trading Day period is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then: (x) on each such Event Date the Company shall pay to the Purchaser an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; and (y) on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date thereof (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that the maximum amount of such liquidated damages shall not exceed a total equal to 10% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement.  Such payments shall be in partial compensation to the Purchaser and shall not constitute the Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for such events.  If the Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 2 in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Purchaser, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.



(d)           During the period subsequent to the Filing Date and prior to the Effective Date, the Company shall not prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities.

(e)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after 60 consecutive Trading Days of continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed and declared effective pursuant to this Agreement, the Company may, by written notice to the Purchaser, suspend sales under a Registration Statement after the Effective Date thereof and/or require that the Purchaser immediately cease the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto and/or defer the filing of any subsequent Registration Statement if the Company is engaged in a material merger, acquisition or sale and the Board of Directors determines in good faith, by appropriate resolutions, that, as a result of such activity, (A) it would be materially detrimental to the Company (other than as relating solely to the price of the Common Stock) to file a Registration Statement at such time and (B) it is in the best interests of the Company to defer proceeding with such registration at such time.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Purchaser shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration until the Purchaser has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus or until the Purchaser is advised in writing by the Company that the then-current Prospectus may be used and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus.  In no event, however, shall this right be exercised to suspend sales beyond the period during which (in the good faith determination of the Company’s Board of Directors) the failure to require such suspension would be materially detrimental to the Company.  The Company’s rights, under this Section 2(e) may be exercised for a period of no more than 45 days in the aggregate in any 12-moth period, of which no more than 20 days may be consecutive.  Immediately after the end of any suspension period under this Section 2(e), the Company shall take all necessary actions (including filing any required supplemental prospectus) to restore the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement and the ability of the Purchaser to publicly resell their Registrable Securities pursuant to such effective Registration Statement.  The provisions of Sections 3(b) and 3(d) hereof shall not be applicable during the pendency of any suspension period under this Section 2(e).



(f)           Rule 415 Limitations.  Notwithstanding  anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the SEC refuses to declare a registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement effective as a valid secondary offering under Rule 415 promulgated under the 1933 Act due to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such registration statement relative to the number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock outstanding or the number of outstanding shares of Acquirer Common Stock held by non-affiliates or for any other reason, then, without any liability under this Agreement or any further obligation to register such excess Registrable Securities, the Company shall be permitted to reduce  the  number of  Registrable  Securities included in such registration  statement  to an amount  that does not  exceed an amount  that the SEC allows for the offering thereunder to qualify as a valid secondary offering under Rule 415.  The Company shall not be liable for damages under this Agreement as to any Registrable Securities that are not permitted  by  the  SEC  to be  included  in a registration  statement  due to SEC guidance relating to Rule 415.

3.           Registration Procedures.

(a)           Not less than three days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall (i) furnish to any single counsel designated by the Purchaser (“Purchaser Counsel”) copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of the Purchaser and Purchaser Counsel and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the 1933 Act.  The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Required Holders shall reasonably object in writing in their good faith within three days of receipt.

(b)           (i)  The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the SEC such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the 1933 Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible, and in any event within ten business days to comments received from the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible, upon request, provide the Purchaser with true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the SEC relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects, to the extent applicable to the Company, with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Purchaser thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.



(c)           The Company shall notify Purchaser Counsel as promptly as reasonably possible, and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day thereafter, of any of the following events: (i) the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of any Registration Statement; (ii) the SEC comments in writing on any Registration Statement; (iii) any Registration Statement or any Post-Effective Amendment is declared effective; (iv) the SEC or any other Federal or state governmental authority requests any amendment or supplement to any Registration Statement or Prospectus or requests additional information related thereto; (v) the SEC issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or initiates any proceedings for that purpose; (vi) the Company receives notice of any suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose; or (vii) an event has occurred which requires a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the prospectus included therein.

(d)           The Company shall use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, to obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as possible.

(e)           The Company shall promptly deliver to Purchaser Counsel, without charge, an electronic copy of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request.  The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by the Purchaser in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

(f)           The Company shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser and Purchaser Counsel, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request.  The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by the Purchaser in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

(g)           (i)  In the time and manner required by each Trading Market, the Company shall prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such Registrable Securities to be approved for listing on each Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter; (iii) provide to the Purchaser evidence of such listing; and (iv) maintain the listing of such Registrable Securities on each such Trading Market or another Eligible Market.



(h)           Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Purchaser and Purchaser Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Purchaser reasonably requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement.

(i)           Subject to compliance by the Purchaser with Section 6 hereof, the Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Purchaser may request.

(j)           Upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 3(c)(vii), as promptly as reasonably possible, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file such supplement, amendment or any other document as may be required so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus shall contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(k)           If Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being offered pursuant to a Registration Statement select underwriters for the offering, the Company shall enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, by providing customary legal opinions, comfort letters and indemnification and contribution obligations.

(l)           The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

4.           Registration Expenses.  The Company shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company, including without limitation (a) all registration and filing fees and expenses, including without limitation those related to filings with the SEC, any Trading Market and in connection with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws, (b) printing expenses (including without limitation expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses requested by the Purchaser), (c) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (d) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (e) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (f) all listing fees to be paid by the Company to the Trading Market.



5.           Indemnification.

(a)           Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, and its officers, directors, partners, members, agents, investment advisors and employees, each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, settlement costs and expenses, including without limitation costs of preparation of legal action and reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser or its counsel or other Person acting on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by the Purchaser or its counsel or other Person acting on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(v)-(vii), the use by the Purchaser of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified the Purchaser in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by the Purchaser of the Advice contemplated in Section 6.  The Company shall notify the Purchaser promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)           Indemnification by the Purchaser.  The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and Section 20 of the 1934 Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by the Purchaser to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or to the extent that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by the Purchaser or its counsel or other person acting on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(v)-(vii), the use by the Purchaser of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified the Purchaser in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by the Purchaser of the Advice contemplated in Section 6.  In no event shall the liability of any selling Purchaser hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.



(c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  (i)  If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(ii)           An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless:  (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless (i) a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or (ii) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.



(iii)           All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 5) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

(d)           Contribution.  (i)  If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or (b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

(ii)           The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), the Purchaser shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

6.           Dispositions.  The Purchaser agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.  The Purchaser further agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 2(f) or 3(c)(v), (vi) or (vii), the Purchaser will discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until the Purchaser’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3(j), or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.  The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.



7.           Miscellaneous.

(a)           Remedies.  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.  The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b)           Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Required Holders.

(c)           No Inconsistent Agreements.  Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.  Except as and to the extent specified in the applicable schedule to the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.

(d)           No Piggyback on Registrations.  Neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security holders other than upon written consent of the Required Holders, unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

(e)           Shareholder Obligations.  The selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves and the Registrable Securities held by them as shall be required to effect the registration of their Registrable Securities, and the Company may exclude from the registration statement the shares of any Holder that does not do so on a timely basis.

(f)           Piggy-Back Registrations.  If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the 1933 Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such holder requests to be registered.  The selling Holders shall enter into and timely perform their obligations under the underwriting agreement, if any, and shall execute other customary agreements necessary or appropriate to facilitate the offering, including without limitation custody agreements and powers of attorney.



(g)           Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section 7(g) prior to 18:30 (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Agreement on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 18:30 (New York City time) and earlier than 24:00 (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

(h)           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder.  The Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Holder.  The Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities in the manner and to the extent permitted under the Purchase Agreement.

(i)           Assignment of Registration Rights.  The rights of each Holder hereunder, including the right to have the Company register for resale Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each Holder to any Affiliate of such Holder or any other Holder or Affiliate of any other Holder of all or a portion of the Preferred Stock or the Registrable Securities if:  (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this Section 7(i), the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement, (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Purchase Agreement, and (vi) at least 80,000 shares of Registrable Securities (appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, split or combination of the Common Stock) are being transferred to such transferee or assignee in connection with such assignment of rights.  In addition, each Holder shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder to any other Person who is a transferee of Registrable Securities with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The rights to assignment shall apply to the Holders (and to subsequent) successors and assigns.



(j)           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

(k)           GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS WARRANT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF.

Annex A

Plan of Distribution

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Purchaser;

 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 
·
privately negotiated transactions;

 
·
short sales;

 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.  The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.  Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the 1933 Act.  Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder.  The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the 1933 Act.



The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the 1933 Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the 1933 Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the 1934 Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the 1933 Act.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock, including the fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholders.  We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the 1933 Act.

The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder.  If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.  We have advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use shares registered on this Registration Statement to cover short sales made prior to the date on which this Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission.  If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act.

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the 1934 Act may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholders.
