Exhibit 4.1
Subscription Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned (the “Investor”) hereby confirms and agrees with you as follows:
1. | The subscription terms set forth herein (this “Subscription Agreement”) are made as of the date set forth below between Beijing Med-Pharm Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Investor. | |
2. | As of the Closing (as defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company and the Investor agree that the Investor will purchase from the Company and the Company will issue and sell to the Investor a 10.0% Senior Secured Promissory Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto in the aggregate principal amount (the “Note”, and, together with other notes of like tenor offered to other investors in connection herewith, the “Notes”) as is set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Signature Page”), together with detachable 18-month Class A warrants substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (the “Class A Warrants”) and detachable five-year Class B warrants substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto, (the “Class B Warrants” and, together with the Class A Warrants, the “Warrants;” and the Warrants, together with the Note, the “Securities”) to purchase in the aggregate 45,112 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for every $1,000,000 in principal amount of Notes issued, which Warrants shall be immediately exercisable. The Investor acknowledges that the offering is not a firm commitment underwriting and that the Closing will not occur unless the Company has received Subscription Agreements for Notes in the aggregate principal amount of at least $15,000,000. | |

a. | Delivery of Funds. No later than one (1) business day after the execution of this Agreement by the Investor and the Company, the Investor shall remit by wire transfer the amount of funds equal to the aggregate purchase price for the Securities being purchased by the Investor, equal to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being purchased plus an amount equal to the number of accompanying Warrants being purchased multiplied by $0.125, to the following account (the “Escrow Account”) designated by the Company and the Philadelphia Brokerage Corporation, as placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) dated as of October 29, 2007 by and among the Company, the Placement Agent and Bryn Mawr Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”): |

c. | The Investor understands that nothing in this Subscription Agreement or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Securities. | ||
d. | Neither the Investor nor any Person acting on behalf of, or pursuant to any understanding with or based upon any information received from, the Investor has, directly or indirectly, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) since the time that the Investor was first contacted by the Placement Agent or the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. “Short |

The Investor covenants that neither it, nor any Person acting on behalf of, or pursuant to any understanding with or based upon any information received from, the Investor will engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are publicly disclosed. | |||

Exceptions: |
(If no exceptions, write “none.” If left blank, response will be deemed to be “none.”) | |||

10. | Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees with the Placement Agent as follows: |
a. | The Company will promptly take or cause to be taken, from time to time, such actions as the Placement Agent may reasonably request to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the state securities, or blue sky, laws of such states or other jurisdictions as the Placement Agent may reasonably request and to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as the Placement Agent may request for the distribution of the Securities, provided, that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction or subject itself to taxation as doing business in any jurisdiction. | ||
b. | The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities in the manner set forth in the Term Sheet under the heading “Use of Proceeds.” | ||
c. | Prior to 9:30 a.m. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time on the business day immediately subsequent to the Closing Date, the Company shall issue a press release (the “Press Release”) reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent disclosing the closing of the transaction contemplated hereby. |
11. | Registration of the Shares; Compliance with the Securities Act. |
a. | The Company shall: |
(i) | subject to receipt in a timely manner of necessary information from the Investors (after prompt request from the Company to the Investors to provide such information), |
5
including the information required to be provided pursuant to Section 4(q) of this Agreement, prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), within 120 days after the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) or such other form that is then available to the Company to enable the resale of the Shares by the Investors from time to time in accordance with the plan of distribution to be described therein; | |||
(ii) | subject to receipt of necessary information from the Investors (after prompt request from the Company to the Investors to provide such information), use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after filing and in any event within ninety (90) days following the initial filing of the Registration Statement; | ||
(iii) | use its reasonable commercial efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement current, effective and free from any material misstatement or omission to state a material fact for a period (the “Registration Period”) not exceeding, with respect to the Shares, the earlier of: (i) the date that is two years after the Closing Date; or (ii) such time as all Shares issuable pursuant to the Warrants have been sold pursuant to a registration statement; | ||
(iv) | furnish to the Investor with respect to the Shares registered under the Registration Statement such number of copies of the Registration Statement and prospectuses in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act (which may be provided electronically) as the Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Shares by the Investor; provided, however; that the obligation of the Company to deliver copies of prospectuses to the Investor shall be subject to the receipt by the Company of reasonable assurances from the Investor that the Investor will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and of such other securities or blue sky laws as may be applicable in connection with any use of such prospectuses; | ||
(v) | bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraph (i) through (iv) of this Section 11 (other than underwriting discounts or commissions, brokers’ fees and similar selling expenses, and any other fees or expenses incurred by the Investor, including attorney fees of the Investor) and the registration of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement; and | ||
(vi) | advise the Investor, promptly (which advice may be provided electronically) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose, and it will promptly use its reasonable commercial efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal as soon as practicable if such stop order should be issued. |
b. | The Company understands that the Investor disclaims being an underwriter, but if the SEC deems the Investor to be an underwriter the Company shall not be relieved of any obligations it has hereunder; provided, however, that if the Company receives notification from the SEC that the Investor is deemed an underwriter, then the period by which the Company is obligated to submit an acceleration request to the SEC shall be extended to the earlier of (i) the 90th day after such SEC notification, or (ii) 120 days after the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. If required by the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Company may disclose the names of those Investors that may be deemed underwriters in the Registration Statement. |
6
12. | Transfer of Shares After Registration; Suspension. |
a. | The Investor agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares or its right to obtain the Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act except as contemplated in the Registration Statement or as otherwise permitted by law, and in all cases in accordance with the procedures reasonably requested by the Company to ensure compliance with the securities laws, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Investor. | ||
b. | Except in the event that paragraph (c) below applies, the Company shall: (i) if deemed necessary by the Company, prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not 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 not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares being sold thereunder, such prospectus will not 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, (ii) provide the Investor copies (which may be provided electronically) of any documents filed pursuant to Section 12(b)(i) as the Investor may reasonably request, and (iii) inform the Investor that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 12(b)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement that has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify the Investor to that effect, will use its reasonable commercial efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify the Investor when the amendment has become effective). | ||
c. | Subject to paragraph (d) below, in the event (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or for additional information, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, or (iv) of any event or circumstance which, upon the advice of its counsel, necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; then the Company shall deliver (which delivery may occur electronically) a certificate in writing to the Investor (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Investor will refrain from selling any Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Investor’s receipt of copies (which may be provided electronically) of a supplemented or amended prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause the use of the prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable within twenty (20) business days after the delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Investor. In addition to and without limiting any other remedies (including, without limitation, at law or at equity) available to the Investor, the Investor shall be entitled to specific performance in the event that the Company fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 12(c). |
7
d. | Provided that a Suspension is not then in effect, the Investor may sell Shares under the Registration Statement, provided that it arranges for delivery of a current prospectus to the transferee of such Shares and otherwise complies with applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with such sale. | ||
e. | In the event of a sale of Shares by the Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Investor shall deliver to the Company’s transfer agent such documentation as reasonably required to effect such transfer. |
13. | Indemnification. |
a. | For the purpose of this Section 13: |
(i) | the term “Selling Stockholder” means the Investor and any affiliate of such Investor; | ||
(ii) | the term “Registration Statement” shall include the prospectus in the form filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required, and any exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to such Registration Statement or prospectus; and | ||
(iii) | the term “Untrue Statement” means any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. |
b. | The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Stockholder from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Selling Stockholder may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon: (i) any breach of the representations or warranties of the Company contained herein or failure to comply with the covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein, or (ii) any Untrue Statement, and the Company will reimburse such Selling Stockholder for any reasonable legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim, or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim, provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, an Untrue Statement made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented from time to time (including, without limitation, information set forth in this Subscription Agreement), or the failure of such Selling Stockholder to comply with its covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. The Company shall reimburse each Selling Stockholder for the indemnifiable amounts provided for herein on demand as such expenses are incurred. | ||
c. | The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon (i) any failure by the Investor to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, or (ii) any Untrue Statement if such Untrue Statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented from time to time (including, without limitation, information set forth in this Subscription |
8
Agreement), and the Investor will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person), as the case may be, for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim. The Investor shall reimburse the Company or such officer, director or controlling person, as the case may be, for the indemnifiable amounts provided for herein on demand as such expenses are incurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the Company and such officers, directors and controlling persons shall be limited to the net amount received by the Investor from the sale of the Shares less the amount of any other claims, damages or liabilities paid by the Investor in connection with such Investor’s sale of the Shares. | |||
d. | Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 13, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying person will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified person under this Section 13 (except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely affects the indemnifying person’s ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than under this Section 13. Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified person, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified person, for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, however, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties. In no event shall any indemnifying person be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. | ||
e. | If the indemnification provided for in this Section 13 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified person under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying person shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Investor, as well as any other Selling Stockholders under such Registration Statement on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an Untrue Statement, whether the Untrue Statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or an Investor or other Selling Stockholder on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such Untrue Statement. The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investor and other Selling Stockholders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any |
9
other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified person as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), the Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net amount received by the Investor from the sale of the Shares to which such loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages that such Subscriber has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such Untrue Statement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Investor’s obligations in this subsection to contribute shall be in proportion to its Investor sale of Shares to which such loss relates and shall not be joint with any other Selling Stockholders. | |||
f. | The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 13, and are fully informed regarding said provisions. They further acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 13 fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company and its business in order to assure that adequate disclosure is made in the Registration Statement as required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

for notice set forth herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Note, in substantially
the form of this Note (any such new Note, a “New Note”), evidencing the portion of this Note so
transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Note evidencing the remaining portion of

timely paid by the Company, interest shall accrue thereon at the rate of 18% per annum (or the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less) until the Company Prepayment Price
plus all such interest is paid in full, which payment shall constitute liquidated damages and not a
penalty. In addition, if any portion of the Company Prepayment Price remains unpaid after such
date, the Holder subject to such prepayment may elect by written notice to the Company to
invalidate ab initio such Company Prepayment Notice with respect to the unpaid amount,
notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary and no interest shall be owed to the
Holder in respect thereof. If the Holder makes such an election, the principal amount of this
Note, together with the accrued and unpaid interest
thereon shall be reinstated with respect to such unpaid amount and the Company shall no longer
have any prepayment rights under this Section 6.

Period”). Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise
this Warrant, in whole or in part and at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period,
by surrendering this Warrant, with the Notice of Exercise appended hereto duly executed by or on
behalf of the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as
the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of
the Exercise Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Stock purchased upon such
exercise.
2. EXPIRATION OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable upon the
earlier to occur of:
(i) 5:00 p.m., Philadelphia local time, on ___ ___, 2009;
(ii) a Change of Control (as defined below); or
(iii) the forty-fifth (45th) day following the Company’s delivery of notice to the
Holder of a Trading Price Termination Event (as defined below).
For purposes hereof, a “Trading Price Termination Event” shall mean at any time that the
Company’s Stock is listed for trading on a national securities exchange, including, but not
limited to, the NASDAQ
Global Market, or other nationally recognized trading system, or is quoted on the Pink
Sheets LLC or similar over-the-counter service, the occurrence of a period of twenty (20)
consecutive trading days during which the quoted bid price of the Company’s Common Stock has
been greater than a price equal to one hundred seventy-five percent (175%) of the Exercise
Price. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the occurrence of any Trading
Price Termination Event.
In the event of a proposed Change of Control, the Company shall give the Holder ten (10)
days prior notice of the proposed closing date of the Change of Control and, to the extent
the Warrant has not been exercised by such date, then this Warrant shall terminate. “Change
of Control” shall mean:
(i) | the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation or other form of reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring entity or its subsidiary, but excluding any transaction effected primarily for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation), unless the Company’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions will, immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions hold at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity; or | ||
(ii) | a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. |
3. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATE UPON EXERCISE. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this
Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price (which payment shall be deemed to have occurred when
funds are immediately available to the Company without provisions), but in no event more than three
Business Days (as defined below) after such exercise, the Company will cause to be issued in the
name of and delivered to the registered Holder hereof or its assigns, or such Holder’s nominee or
nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Stock of the Company to
which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise (and in the case of a partial exercise, a
Warrant of like tenor for the unexercised portion remaining subject to exercise prior to the
expiration of the Exercise Period set forth herein). For all corporate purposes, such certificate
or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and such Holder or such Holder’s designee to be
named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Stock as of the
date the duly executed exercise form pursuant to this Warrant, together with full payment of the
Exercise Price, is received by the Company as aforesaid. No fraction of a share or scrip
certificate for such fraction shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant; in lieu thereof,
the Company will pay or cause to be paid to such Holder cash equal to a like fraction at the
prevailing fair market price for such share as determined in good faith by the Company.
4. ADJUSTMENTS.
a. Dividends. In the event that a dividend shall be declared upon the Stock of the Company payable
in shares of Stock, the number of shares of Stock covered by this Warrant shall be adjusted by
adding thereto the number of shares that would have been distributable thereon if such shares had
been outstanding on the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to receive such stock
dividend, and the Per Share Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Per Share Exercise
Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the payment of such stock dividend and (ii) the denominator of
which is the number of shares of Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the payment of such
stock dividend.
b. Reorganizations, Consolidations, Mergers. Except as otherwise set forth herein, in the event
that the outstanding shares of Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another
corporation, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of
shares, merger or consolidation, then upon exercise of this Warrant there shall be substituted for
the shares of Stock covered by this Warrant, the number and kind of shares of stock or other
securities that would have been substituted therefor if such shares of Stock had been outstanding
on the date
fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to receive such changed or substituted stock or
other securities and the exercise price shall be proportionately adjusted.
c. Other Changes. In the event there shall be any change, other than specified above, in the
number or kind of outstanding shares of Stock of the Company or of any stock or other securities
into which such Stock shall be changed or for which it shall have been exchanged, then if the Board
of Directors shall determine, in good faith, that such change equitably requires an adjustment in
the number or kind of shares covered by this Warrant, such adjustment shall be made by the Board of
Directors and shall be effective and binding for all purposes on this Warrant.
d. Registration Default (i). The Company and the Holder agree that the Holder will suffer
damages if the Company fails to fulfill its obligations pursuant to Section 11 of the Agreement and
that it would not be possible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly,
the Company hereby agrees to provide liquidated damages to the Investor, in the form of an
adjustment to the Per Share Exercise Price, under the following circumstances (each such event a
“Registration Default”) if the Registration Statement (as defined in the Agreement):
(ii) | is not filed by the Company on or prior to the 120th day after the Closing Date; or | ||
(iii) | is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on or prior to the 90th day after the date the Registration Statement is first filed with the SEC. |
In the event that there shall occur a Registration Default, then the Per Share Exercise Price shall
be reduced by $0.25 for each full thirty (30) day period for which such Registration Default exists
and is continuing unless waived by the holders of Warrants exercisable for a majority of the shares
of Stock issuable upon exercise of the then outstanding Warrants issued in the Offering.
5. LOST, STOLEN, DESTROYED OR MUTILATED WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft or destruction or mutilation
of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon the surrender and cancellation thereof,
the Company will issue and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
6. TRANSFER.
a. Owner of Warrant. The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is
registered as the Holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing
hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided
below.
b. Transfer of Warrant. The Company agrees to maintain, at its then principal place of business,
books for the registration of the Warrant and transfers thereof, and this Warrant and all rights
hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, on said books at said office, upon surrender of
this Warrant at said office, together with a written assignment of this Warrant duly executed by
the Holder hereof or his duly authorized agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer
taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and payment, the Company shall
execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be
canceled.
7. COVENANTS.
a. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company covenants that, so long as this Warrant is
exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the delivery of Stock pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant. The Company
further covenants that all
shares of Stock that shall be so deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be duly and
validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
b. Notice of Certain Events. In the event that:
(i) | the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of Section 4; or | ||
(ii) | the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants; or | ||
(iii) | of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or | ||
(iv) | of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; |
the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder as promptly as possible but in any event at
least five (5) days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the
date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or
warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of
record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the
date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock
for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
8. CASHLESS EXERCISE RIGHTS.
a. Cashless Exercise Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, at
any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Registration Default, the sale of all
the Warrant Shares is not covered by an effective Registration Statement registering such sale with
the SEC (a “Delinquency Period”), then the Holder shall have the right, with respect to any Notice
of Exercise of Warrant delivered during such Delinquency Period to pay the Exercise Price through a
“cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder, without the requirement
that the Holder pay any portion of the Exercise Price in cash or other consideration, the number of
shares of Stock determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A], where:
X = the number of shares of Stock to be issued to the Holder upon exercise.
Y = the number of shares of Stock with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
A = the arithmetic average of the VWAP of the Stock for the five Trading Days immediately
prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
B = the Exercise Price.
b. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 8, the following definitions shall apply:
(i) | “Business Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day which shall be a federal legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close. | ||

(ii) | give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers that may be necessary or desirable (in the reasonable judgment of the Agent) to create, preserve, perfect or validate any security interest granted pursuant hereto or to enable the Agent to exercise and enforce their rights hereunder with respect to such security interest, provided however that this shall not include causing any or all of the Stock Collateral to be transferred of record into the name of the Agent or its nominee; |
b. | Other Financing Statements and Liens. The Company shall not file or suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on file, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with respect to the Collateral in which the Agent is not named as the sole secured party for the benefit of each of the Purchasers. | ||
c. | Preservation of Rights. The Agent shall not be required to take steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral. | ||
d. | Special Provisions Relating to the Stock Collateral. |
(i) | So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Stock Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, the Notes or any other instrument or agreement referred to herein or therein; and the Agent shall execute and deliver to the Company or cause to be executed and delivered to the Company all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Company to exercise the rights and powers which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 4(d)(i). | ||
(ii) | Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends on the Stock Collateral paid in cash out of earned surplus. | ||
(iii) | If any Event of Default shall have occurred, then so long as such Event of Default shall continue, and whether or not the Agent exercises any available right to declare any Secured Obligations due and payable or seeks or pursues any other relief or remedy available to it under applicable law or under this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement relating to such Secured Obligations, all dividends and other distributions on the Stock Collateral shall be paid directly to the Escrow Agent and retained by it as part of the Stock Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and, if the Agent shall so request in writing, the Company agrees |
to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent appropriate additional dividend, distribution and other orders and documents to that end, provided that if such Event of Default is cured, any such dividend or distribution theretofore paid to the Agent or the Escrow Agent shall, upon request of the Company (except to the extent theretofore applied to the Secured Obligations) be returned by the Escrow Agent to the Company. |
e. | Events of Default, etc. During the period during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: |
(i) | the Agent may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral; | ||
(ii) | subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not said Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Company agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right); | ||
(iii) | the Agent in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of the Company or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so; and | ||
(iv) | subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Agent may, upon 10 Business Days prior written notice to the Company of the time and place and in compliance with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Agent, or any of its respective agents, sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any of such Collateral, at such place or places as the Agent deems best, and for cash or on credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of time or place thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived) and the Agent or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale), and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Company, any such demand, notice or right and equity being hereby expressly waived and released. Subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. |
The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 4(e) shall be applied
in accordance with Section 4(i) hereof.
The Company recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Agent may be compelled, with respect to
any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among
other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own
account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Company
acknowledges that any such private sales to an unrelated third party in an arm’s length transaction
may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Agent than those obtainable through a public
sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the
Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any
Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the respective Issuer thereof to register it
for public sale.
f. | Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Company shall remain liable for any deficiency. | ||
g. | Removals, etc. Without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Agent, the Company shall not (i) maintain any of its books or records with respect to the Collateral at any office or maintain its chief executive office or its principal place of business at any place other than at the address indicated for the Company in Section 21 of the Subscription Agreement or (ii) change its corporate name to any name or the name under which it does business, in each case, other than to BMP Sunstone Corporation, from the name shown on the signature page hereto. | ||
h. | Private Sale. The Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale to an unrelated third party in an arm’s length transaction pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in compliance with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company hereby waives any claims against the Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree. | ||
i. | Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Agent under this Section 4, shall be applied by the Agent: |
(i) | First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including accrued but unpaid fees of the Escrow Agent and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses and advances made or incurred by the Agent in connection therewith; | ||
(ii) | Next, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing to each of the Purchasers; and | ||
(iii) | Finally, to the payment to the Company, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining. |
As used in this Section 4, “proceeds” of Collateral shall mean cash, securities and other property
realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of, Collateral, including any thereof received
under any reorganization, liquidation or adjustment of debt of the Company or any issuer of or
obligor on any of the Collateral.
j. | Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Agent while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Company for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4 and taking any action and |
executing any instruments which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Purchasers shall be entitled under this Section 4 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of the Company representing any dividend, payment, or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. | |||
k. | Perfection. The Company shall file or deliver to Agent for filing such financing statements and other documents in such offices as the Agent may request to perfect the security interests granted by Section 3 of this Agreement. | ||
l. | Termination. When all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full under the Notes, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Agent shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the Company. The Agent shall also execute and deliver to the Company upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral. | ||
m. | Expenses. The Company agrees to pay to the Agent all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of, or incident to, the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 4, or performance by the Agent of any obligations of the Company in respect of the Collateral which the Company has failed or refused to perform upon reasonable notice, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral, and for the care of the Collateral and defending or asserting rights and claims of the Agent in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, including expenses of insurance, and all such expenses shall be Secured Obligations to the Agent secured under Section 3 hereof. The Company shall pay the fees of the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement. | ||
n. | Further Assurances. The Company agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of the Agent, the Company will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Agent may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement. | ||
o. | Indemnity. Each of the Purchasers hereby jointly and severally covenants and agrees to reimburse, indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent and the Agent harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, judgments, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, transfer or other taxes, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or suffered without any bad faith or willful misconduct by the Escrow Agent or the Agent, respectively, arising out of or incident to this Agreement or the administration of the Escrow Agent’s duties under the Escrow Agreement and the Agent’s duties hereunder, respectively, or resulting from its actions or inactions as Escrow Agent or Agent, respectively. | ||
p. | Borrowing of Pledged Stock Certificates. The Agent and the Purchasers hereby agree that upon receipt by Escrow Agent and the Agent from the Company of an affidavit (a “Borrowing Notice”) that the Company is required to provide the certificates representing the Pledged Shares either (i) for review by the auditors of the Company and/or HK Fly, (ii) in connection with the purchase by the Company of additional shares of common stock of HK Fly or (iii) as required by law or regulatory authority, which affidavit shall contain an undertaking for the specific benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers to return the certificates representing the Pledged Shares to Escrow Agent as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event more than fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of such certificates from Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall (A) provide a copy of such Borrowing Notice to the Agent by facsimile and overnight courier as provided in Section 21 of the Subscription Agreement within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Borrowing Notice and (ii) deliver to the Company the certificates representing the Pledged Shares to the Company on the |
fifth (5th) Business Day after the date Escrow Agent receives such Borrowing Notice, or sooner as agreed to by the Agent in writing. The Company hereby convenants to cause the certificates representing the Pledged Shares to be returned to the Escrow Agent not later than the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the receipt thereof by the Company |
5. | Miscellaneous. |
a. | No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Agent or any of its agents to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Agent or any of its agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. | ||
b. | Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. | ||

The Company represents and warrants to the Investor as of the date hereof and as of the Closing
Date, and agrees with the Investor, as follows:
a. Due Incorporation. The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a
corporation or other legal entity in good standing (or the foreign equivalent thereof) under the
laws of its jurisdiction of organization, with the corporate power and authority to own its
properties and to conduct its business as currently being conducted and as described in the
Company’s periodic reports and other information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or
other legal entity in each other jurisdiction in which its ownership or leasing of property or the
conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified
and in good standing or have such power or authority (i) would not have, individually or in the
aggregate, a material adverse effect upon, the general affairs, business, operations, properties,
financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined
below), taken as a whole, or (ii) impair in any material respect the power or ability of the
Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate any transactions
contemplated by the Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, including the issuance and sale of
the Securities (any such effect as described in clauses (i) or (ii), a “Material Adverse Effect”).
b. Subsidiaries. The Company has no significant subsidiaries (as such term is defined in Rule
1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission) other than Beijing Medpharm Co. Ltd., Beijing
Wanwei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Beijing Med-Pharm Hong Kong Company Ltd. (each, a “Subsidiary”
and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). Each Subsidiary has been duly organized and is validly
existing as a corporation or other legal entity in good standing (or the foreign equivalent
thereof) under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, with the corporate power and authority
to own its properties and to conduct its business as currently being conducted and as described in
the Company’s periodic reports and other information filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. All of the issued and outstanding capital stock (or similar equity interests) of each
Subsidiary has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable and,
except as described in the Company’s periodic reports and other information filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, are owned by the Company, directly or through Subsidiaries,
free from liens, encumbrances and defects.
c. Due Authorization and Enforceability. The Company has the full right, power and authority
to enter into this Agreement, each of the Subscription Agreements and the Escrow Agreement, and to
perform and discharge its obligations hereunder and thereunder; and each of this Agreement, the
Escrow Agreement and each Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by the Company, and constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as rights to indemnity hereunder may be
limited by federal or state securities laws and except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally and subject to general principles of equity.
d. The Securities. The issuance of the Securities has been duly and validly authorized by the
Company and, when issued, delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
the Subscription Agreements, will have been duly and validly issued and will be fully paid and
nonassessable. Except as otherwise stated in the Company’s periodic reports and other information
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are no statutory or contractual preemptive
rights or other rights to subscribe for or purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock of the
Company, which have not been waived or complied with and will conform in all material respects to
the description thereof contained in the Company’s periodic reports and other information filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
e. Capitalization. As of October 26, 2007, the authorized capital stock of the Company
consists of (i) 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of which 30,494,290
shares are issued and outstanding, 2,876,147 shares are reserved for issuance upon exercise of
stock options outstanding under the Company’s employee and director stock option plans, 2,057,000

1,938,341 shares are reserved for issuance under warrants;
and (ii) 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, none of which are

to the description thereof contained in the prospectus under the caption “Description of common
stock” (and any similar sections or information, if any, contained in the Company’s periodic
reports and other information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission). The issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued,
are fully paid and nonassessable, and have been issued in compliance with all federal and state
securities laws. None of the outstanding shares of capital stock was issued in violation of any
preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase or
acquire any securities of the Company. There are no authorized or outstanding shares of capital
stock, options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase,
or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for, any capital stock of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries other than those described in the Company’s periodic reports and other
information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The description of the Company’s
stock option, stock bonus and other stock plans or arrangements, and the options or other rights
granted thereunder, as described in the Company’s periodic reports and other information filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, accurately and fairly present the information required to
be shown with respect to such plans, arrangements, options and rights.
f. No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, the
Subscription Agreements and the Escrow Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including the issuance and sale by the Company of the Securities,
will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under
(nor constitute any event which with notice, lapse of time or both would result in any breach or
violation of or constitute a default under), give rise to any right of termination or other right
or the cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation or loss of a benefit under, or give
rise to the creation or imposition of any lien, encumbrance, security interest, claim or charge
upon any property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to any indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any
Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties may be bound or
to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, (ii)
result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws (or analogous governing
instrument, as applicable) of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (iii) result in any violation of
any law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency
or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of
their properties or assets, except, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (iii) above, for any
such conflict, breach, violation, default, lien, charge or encumbrance that would not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
g. No Consents Required. No approval, authorization, consent or order of or filing,
qualification or registration with, any court or governmental agency or body, foreign or domestic,
which has not been made, obtained or taken and is not in full force and effect, is required in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Subscription
Agreements and the Escrow Agreement by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Securities or the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than (i) as
