Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 5, 2006, MultiCell Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MultiCell”), entered into an amended and restated common stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Fusion Capital”), amending and restating the common stock purchase agreement between the parties, previously entered into on May 3, 2006 (the “Prior Agreement”). Under the Purchase Agreement, Fusion Capital is obligated, under certain conditions, to purchase shares from us in an aggregate amount of $8 million from time to time over a 25 month period. We have reserved for issuance 8,000,000 shares of our common stock for sale to Fusion Capital under this agreement. Subject to earlier termination at MultiCell’s discretion, purchases by Fusion Capital will occur over a 25 month period after the Securities and Exchange Commission has declared effective a registration statement related to the transaction. As consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, Fusion Capital will retain the 1,572,327 shares of MultiCell common stock previously issued to it under the Prior Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2006, and amended and restated on October 5, 2006 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), we agreed to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the shares which have been issued or may be issued to Fusion Capital under the Purchase Agreement. After the Securities and Exchange Commission has declared effective the registration statement, generally we have the right but not the obligation from time to time to sell our shares to Fusion Capital in amounts between $50,000 and $1 million depending on certain conditions. We have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Fusion Capital. The purchase price of the shares will be determined based upon the market price of our shares without any fixed discount. Fusion Capital shall not have the right nor the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any business day that the price of our common stock is below $0.20. The agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us. We anticipate using the proceeds from this financing for general corporate purposes, including the advancement of MCT-125 in a pivotal Phase IIb/III clinical trial for the treatment of fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of each of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
