Ladies and Gentlemen:
Rockwell Medical Technologies, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to
the terms and conditions stated in this Placement Agency Agreement (this “Agreement”) and the
Subscription Agreements in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Subscription
Agreements”) entered into with the investors identified therein (each, an “Investor” and
collectively, the “Investors”), to issue and sell (i) an aggregate of 2,840,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) warrants (in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,079,200 shares of Common Stock in units (each a “Unit”) consisting of (A) one share of Common
Stock and (B) one Warrant to purchase 0.38 of a share of Common Stock. The aggregate of 2,840,000 shares of Common Stock so proposed to be sold is hereinafter referred to as the “Shares” and the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is hereinafter referred to
as the “Warrant Shares.” The Warrant Shares, together with the Shares and the Warrants, are
referred to herein as the “Securities.” The Securities are more fully described in the
Registration Statement (as defined herein). This is to confirm the agreement between the Company,
JMP Securities LLC (“JMP”) and Wedbush Securities Inc. (“Wedbush,” and together with JMP, the
“Placement Agents”) concerning the offering, issuance and sale of the Units.
1. Agreement to Act as Placement Agents; Delivery and Payment. On the basis of the
representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement:
(a) The Company hereby authorizes the Placement Agents to act as its exclusive agents in
connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of the Units (the
“Offering”) to the Investors, and the Placement Agents hereby agree, as agents of the Company,
to use their commercially reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Units from the
Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as defined below).
The Placement Agents shall make commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining
performance by each Investor whose offer to purchase Units has been solicited by the Placement
Agents and accepted by the Company, but the Placement Agents shall not, except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, have any liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not
consummated for any reason. Under no circumstances will the Placement Agents or any of their
affiliates be obligated to underwrite or purchase any of the Shares or Warrants for their own
accounts or otherwise provide any financing. The Placement Agents shall act solely as the
Company’s agents and not as principals. The Placement Agents shall have no authority to bind the
Company with respect to any prospective offer to purchase Units and the Company shall have the sole
right to accept offers to purchase Units and may reject any such offer, in whole or in part.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Placement Agents (or their affiliates) may, solely at their
discretion and without any obligation to do so, purchase Units as principals.
(b) As compensation for services rendered, on the Closing Date, the Company shall pay or cause
to be paid to the Placement Agents by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or
accounts designated by the Placement Agents an aggregate amount equal to six percent (6.0%) of the
gross proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Units on such Closing Date (the “Cash
Placement Fee”), fifty-five percent (55.0%) of such Cash Placement Fee shall be payable to JMP and
forty-five percent (45.0%) of such Cash Placement Fee shall be payable to Wedbush. In addition, on
the Closing Date the Company shall issue to the Placement Agents warrants to purchase an aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock equal to three percent (3.0%) of the Shares sold in the Offering
(the “Agent Warrants”), fifty-five percent (55.0%) of such Agent Warrants shall be payable to JMP
and forty-five percent (45.0%) of such Agent Warrants shall be payable to Wedbush. The Agent
Warrants are included in the term “Warrants” as used herein, and the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Agent Warrants is included in the term “Warrant Shares” as used
herein.
(c) The purchases of Units by the Investors shall be evidenced by the execution of a
Subscription Agreement by each of the parties thereto in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A.
(d) Prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which this Agreement is terminated and (ii) the
Closing Date, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agents,
solicit or accept offers to purchase shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to the exercise of
options or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock that are outstanding at the date hereof)
other than through the Placement Agents in accordance herewith.
(e) No Units which the Company has agreed to sell pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed
to have been purchased and paid for, or sold by the Company, until such Units shall have been
delivered to or made available for electronic receipt by the Investor purchasing such Units against
payment by such Investor. If the Company shall default in its obligations to deliver Units to an
Investor whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties
(as defined below) harmless against any loss, claim,
damage or liability directly or indirectly arising from or as a result of such default by the
Company.
2
(f) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Units shall be made at a closing
(the “Closing”) at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx PLLC, counsel for the Company, located at
000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, at 11:00 A.M., New York time, on October 5, 2009 or at
such other time and date as the Placement Agents and the Company determine pursuant to
Rule 15c6-1(a) under the Exchange Act (such date of payment and delivery being herein referred to
as the “Closing Date”). The Company, the Placement Agents and JPMorganChase Bank, as escrow agent
(the “Escrow Agent”), have entered into an escrow agreement of even date herewith (the “Escrow
Agreement”) pursuant to which an escrow account will be established, at the Company’s expense, for
the benefit of the Company and the Investors who elect to settle their purchase through the
facilities of The Depositary Trust Company’s DWAC system (the “Escrow Account”). Each of the
Company and the Placement Agents hereby agree to deliver to the Escrow Agent a Closing Notice in
the form attached as Exhibit C to the Escrow Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date.
Any Investor who elects not to settle its purchase through the facilities of The Depositary Trust
Company’s DWAC system shall deposit its respective aggregate purchase amount into an account or
accounts established with the Placement Agents and, on the Closing Date, the Placement Agents
shall, with respect to each such Investor, cause the aggregate purchase amount for such Units to be
wired from such accounts to an account designated by the Company in exchange for the release of
such Investors’ Units. All such actions taken at the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred
simultaneously.
2. Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company has prepared and filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File
No. 333-160791) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the
published rules and regulations thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”) adopted by the Commission,
including a base prospectus relating thereto (the “Base Prospectus”), and such amendments and
supplements thereto as may have been required to the date of this Agreement. Such registration
statement, at any given time, including amendments thereto to such time, the exhibits and any
schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12
of Form S-3 under the Securities Act at such time and the documents and information otherwise
deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by Rule 430B under the Securities Act or otherwise
pursuant to the Rules and Regulations at such time, is herein called the “Registration Statement.”
If the Company files an abbreviated registration statement to register additional Units pursuant to
Rule 462(b) under the Rules and Regulations (the “462(b) Registration Statement”), then any
reference herein to the Registration Statement shall also be deemed to include such 462(b)
Registration Statement, as amended from time to time. The Registration Statement at the time it
originally became effective is herein called the “Initial Registration Statement.”
The Company proposes to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act
a final prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus relating to the Units, the form in which it
shall be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (including the Base Prospectus as so
supplemented) is hereinafter called the “Prospectus.” Any preliminary form of Prospectus or
prospectus subject to completion which is filed or used in the Offering prior to
3
filing of the Prospectus (including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter
called a “Preliminary Prospectus.”
Unless otherwise stated herein, any reference herein to the Registration Statement, any
Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents
incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or before the last to occur of
the time the Registration Statement became effective with respect to the Placement Agents pursuant
to Rule 430B under the Securities Act (the “Effective Time”), the date of the Preliminary
Prospectus (if any), or the date of the Prospectus, and any reference herein to the terms “amend,”
“amendment,” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus
or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any document filed under the Exchange Act
after the Effective Time, the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the date of the Prospectus, as
the case may be, which is incorporated therein by reference.

retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g) under the Securities Act.

Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or
omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written

under the Securities Act, except in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(q) of this
Agreement.

notes, set forth or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale

the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to

reasonably likely to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Change
(A) there is no infringement, misappropriation or violation by third parties of any such

result in a Material Adverse Change; (C) the Intellectual Property owned by the Company and its
Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Company, the Intellectual Property licensed to the
Company and its Subsidiaries has not been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction invalid or
unenforceable, in whole or in part, and there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge,
threatened in writing action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the validity or scope
of any such Intellectual Property; and (D) there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge,
threatened in writing action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company or its
Subsidiaries infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property or other
proprietary rights of others, the Company and its Subsidiaries have not received any written notice
of such claim and the Company is unaware of any other facts which would form a reasonable basis for

material technical information developed by and belonging to the Company and its Subsidiaries which
has not been patented has been kept confidential or has only been disclosed subject to
confidentiality obligations which, to the Company’s knowledge, have not been materially breached.
The Company is not a party to or bound by any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the

marks, trade and service mark registrations, trade names, copyrights, licenses, inventions, trade
secrets, technology, know-how and other intellectual property.
(bb) No Violation. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is (A) in violation of its
respective articles of incorporation or bylaws or (B) in breach of or otherwise in default, and no
event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default in
the performance of any material obligation, agreement or condition contained in any bond,
debenture, note, indenture, loan agreement or any other material contract, lease or other
instrument to which it is subject or by which any of them may be bound, or to which any of the
material property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject except, with
11
respect to clause (B), for any breach or default as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(cc) Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries (A) have timely filed (or requested in good
faith an extension to the filing of) all federal, state, local and foreign income and franchise tax
returns required to be filed and (B) are not in default in the payment of any taxes which were
payable pursuant to said returns or any assessments with respect thereto, other than any which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is contesting in good faith except, in the case of (A) and (B)
to such extent as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(dd) Trading Market; Exchange Act Registration. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to
Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and is included or approved for inclusion on the NASDAQ Global
Market and the Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of,
terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting the Common
Stock from the NASDAQ Global Market nor has the Company received any notification that the
Commission, the NASDAQ Global Market or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority is
contemplating terminating such registration or listing. The Company has complied in all material

of the Common Stock thereon. The Company has filed a listing application with the NASDAQ Global
Market in respect of the Shares and Warrant Shares.
(ee) Subsidiaries. Other than the subsidiaries of the Company listed in Schedule III
hereto (each a “Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), the Company, directly or
indirectly, owns no capital stock or other equity or ownership or proprietary interest in any
corporation, partnership, association, trust or other entity.
(ff) Accounting Controls. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (A) transactions are executed in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorization; (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles and to maintain accountability for assets; (C) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (D) the recorded accountability
for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken
with respect to any differences. Except as described in the Registration Statement, in the Time of
Sale Disclosure Package and in the Prospectus, since the most recent audit of the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, there has been (1) no material weakness in
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (2) no
change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
(gg) Broker’s Fee. Other than as contemplated by this Agreement, the Company has not incurred
any liability for any finder’s or broker’s fee or agent’s commission in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
12
(hh) Insurance. The Company carries, or is covered by, insurance in such amounts and covering
such risks as is customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries.

of the Units, will not be an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(jj) Use of Form S-3. As of the date the Initial Registration Statement was filed and as of

(ll) Disclosure Controls. The Company has established and maintains “disclosure controls and
procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) and, as of June 30,
2009, such controls and procedures are effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in ensuring
that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the
principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Company.
(mm) No Price Stabilization. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary nor, to the Company’s
knowledge, any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates or controlling persons has
taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to
cause or result in, or which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to constitute
the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the
sale or resale of the Units.
(nn) No Labor Disputes. No labor problem or dispute with the employees of the Company exists,
or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened or imminent, which would reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Change. The Company is not aware that any key employee or significant
group of employees of the Company plans to terminate employment with the Company.
(oo) Defined Benefit Plans. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has maintained or
contributed to a defined benefit plan as defined in Section 3(35) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). No plan maintained or contributed to by the Company
that is subject to ERISA (an “ERISA Plan”) (or any trust created thereunder) has engaged in a
“prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
that could subject the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to any material tax penalty on prohibited
transactions and that has not adequately been corrected. Each ERISA Plan is in compliance in all
material respects with all reporting, disclosure and other requirements of the Code and ERISA as
they relate to such ERISA Plan,
13
except for any noncompliance which would not result in the imposition of a material tax or
monetary penalty. With respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be “qualified” within the
meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code, either (A) a determination letter (or opinion letter, if
applicable) has been issued by the Internal Revenue Service stating that such ERISA Plan and the
attendant trust are qualified thereunder, or (B) the remedial amendment period under Section 401(b)
of the Code with respect to the establishment of such ERISA Plan has not ended and a determination
letter application will be filed with respect to such ERISA Plan prior to the end of such remedial
amendment period. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has ever completely or partially
withdrawn from a “multiemployer plan,” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA.
(pp) Compliance with Environmental Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (A) are in
compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, orders, rules,

environment which are applicable to their businesses (“Environmental Laws”), (B) have received and
are in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable
Environmental Laws to conduct its business; and (C) have not received notice of any actual or
potential liability for the investigation or remediation of any disposal or release of hazardous or
toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, except in the case of clauses (A), (B) and
(C) of this Section 3(pp) as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(qq) No Undisclosed Relationships. No relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or
among the Company and any of its Subsidiaries on the one hand and the directors, officers,
stockholders, customers or suppliers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
affiliates on the other hand, which is required to be described in the Registration Statement, in
the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or a document incorporated by reference
therein and which has not been so described.
(rr) Forward-Looking Statements. No forward-looking statements (within the meaning of

of Sale Disclosure Package or the Prospectus has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis
or has been disclosed other than in good faith.
(ss) Minute Books. The minute books of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, representing
all existing records of all meetings and actions of the board of directors (including, Audit,
Compensation and Nomination/Corporate Governance Committees) and stockholders of the Company and
any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Corporate Records”) from March 16, 2006 through the
date of the latest meeting and action have been made available to the Placement Agents or counsel
for the Placement Agents. All such Corporate Records accurately reflect, in all material respects,
all transactions referred to in such Corporate Records. There are no material transactions,
agreements or other actions that have been consummated by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
that are not properly approved and/or recorded in the Corporate Records of the Company and the
Subsidiaries.
14

other person associated with or with the authority to act on behalf of the Company, including
without limitation any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries has,
directly or indirectly, while acting on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries (A) used any
corporate funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses
relating to political activity or failed to disclose fully any contribution in violation of law,
(B) made any payment to any federal or state governmental officer or official, or other person
charged with similar public or quasi-public duties, other than payments required or permitted by
the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction thereof, (C) violated or is in violation of any
provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended or (D) made any bribe,

data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, a Statutory Prospectus,
the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, are based on or derived from sources that
the Company reasonably and in good faith believes to be reliable and accurate, and such data agree
with the sources from which they are derived.

committee whose composition satisfies the requirements of Section 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Global Market and the Board of Directors and/or the audit
committee has adopted a charter that satisfies the requirements of Section 10A-3 of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Global Market.
(ww) Shareholder Approval. Assuming the accuracy of the representations of the Investors in
the Subscription Agreements, no approval of the shareholders of the Company under the rules and
regulations of the NASDAQ Global Market is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the
Investors the Units.
Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to the Placement Agents or
to counsel for the Placement Agents in connection with the Offering shall be deemed a
representation and warranty by the Company to the Placement Agents as to the matters covered
thereby.
4. Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees with the Placement Agents as follows:
(a) Filing of Prospectuses. During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the
later of the Closing Date or such date as the Prospectus is no longer required by law to be
delivered (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act is no
longer required to be provided), in connection with the Offering by the Placement Agents or any
dealer (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), prior to amending or supplementing the Registration
Statement in connection with the Offering (including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement), the
Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, the Company shall furnish to the Placement
Agents for review a copy of each such proposed amendment or
15
supplement, and the Company shall not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which
the Placement Agents or counsel to the Placement Agents reasonably objects.
(b) Filing of Amendments. After the date of this Agreement, if in connection with the
Offering, the Company shall promptly advise the Placement Agents in writing (i) of the receipt of
any comments of, or requests for additional or supplemental information from, the Commission,
(ii) of the time and date of any filing of any post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or any amendment or supplement to any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure
Package or the Prospectus, (iii) of the time and date that any post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement becomes effective and (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or of any order preventing or suspending its use or the use of any Preliminary Prospectus,
the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or of
any proceedings to remove, suspend or terminate from listing or quotation the Common Stock from any
securities exchange upon which it is listed for trading or included or designated for quotation, or
of the threatening or initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes. If the Commission
shall enter any such stop order at any time, the Company will use its best efforts to obtain the
lifting of such order at the earliest possible moment. Additionally, the Company agrees that it
shall comply with the provisions of Rules 424(b), 430A and 430B, as applicable, under the
Securities Act and will use its reasonable efforts to confirm that any filings made by the Company
under Rule 424(b), Rule 433 or Rule 462 were received in a timely manner by the Commission (without
reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) or Rule 164(b)).
(c) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the
Company will comply as far as it is able with all applicable requirements imposed upon it by the
Securities Act, as now and hereafter amended, and by the Rules and Regulations, as from time to
time in force, and by the Exchange Act so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of or
dealings in the Units as contemplated by the provisions hereof, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package
and the Prospectus. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus (or
if the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers, the Time of Sale Disclosure
Package) would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not
misleading, or if during such period it is necessary or appropriate in the good faith opinion of
the Company or its counsel or the Placement Agents or counsel to the Placement Agents to amend the
Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus is not yet available to
prospective purchasers, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package) to comply with the Securities Act or
to file under the Exchange Act any document which would be deemed to be incorporated by reference
in the Prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company will
promptly notify the Placement Agents (and the Placement Agents agree to cease any such use promptly
upon such notification) and the Company will use reasonable best efforts to amend the Registration
Statement or supplement the Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective
purchasers, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package) or file such document (at the expense of the
Company) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.
16
(d) Conflicting Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. If at any time following issuance of an
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in connection with the Offering there occurred or occurs an event or
development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict
with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus or the
Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company promptly will notify the
Placement Agents (and the Placement Agents agree to cease any such use promptly upon such
notification) and the Company will amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.
(e) Blue Sky Laws. The Company shall take or cause to be taken all necessary action to
qualify the Securities for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Placement
Agents may reasonably designate and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required
for the distribution of the Securities, except that the Company shall not be required in connection
therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to service of process
in any state or jurisdiction.
(f) Delivery of Copies. The Company will furnish (which may be satisfied by filing with the
Commission’s XXXXX System) to the Placement Agents and counsel for the Placement Agents copies of
the Registration Statement, each Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the
Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements to such
documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Placement Agents may
from time to time reasonably request.

soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 16 months after the end of the Company’s
current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a 12 month
period that shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the
Rules and Regulations.
(h) Costs and Expenses. The Company, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder

Agents all costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company under
this Agreement and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including but not
limited to costs and expenses of or relating to (i) the preparation, printing, filing, delivery and

limitation, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and
expenses of any consultants engaged with the written consent of the Company in connection with the
road show presentations, travel, lodging and other expenses incurred by the officers of the Company
and any such consultants, and the cost of any aircraft or other transportation chartered in
connection with the road show. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be
obligated to reimburse the Placement Agents pursuant to this Section 4(h) in an amount in
excess of $50,000 in the aggregate without the Company’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event this Agreement is terminated,
the Company shall only be obligated to reimburse the Placement Agents for their out-of-pocket

exchangeable for Common Stock, or sell or grant any options, rights or warrants with respect to any
shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock other than
(i) the grant of options or other equity based compensation pursuant to plans existing as of the

or before the end of the Lock-Up Period, or (2) enter into any swap or other derivatives
transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks
or ownership of Common Stock, regardless of whether such transaction described in clause (1) or (2)
above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise;
provided, however, the foregoing restriction shall not apply to (i) securities required to be
issued pursuant to contractual
18
obligations of the Company in effect as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) equity
securities issued pursuant to employee benefit or purchase plans in effect as of the date of this
Agreement or pursuant to bona fide employee benefit or purchase plans established during the
Lock-Up Period. If (A) the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event

(B) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release
earnings results during the sixteen (16)-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up
Period, then the restrictions in this Section 4(j), unless otherwise waived by the
Placement Agents in writing, shall continue to apply until the expiration of the eighteen (18)-day
period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or
material event. The Company will provide the Placement Agents with prior notice of any such

accelerate the vesting of any option or warrant or the lapse of any repurchase right prior to the
expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

Agreement, the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Prior
to the Closing Date, the Company will not issue any press release or other communication directly
or indirectly or hold any press conference with respect to the Company, the Subsidiaries, their

them, or the offering of the Units (except for routine oral marketing communications in the
ordinary course of business and consistent with the past practices of the Company and of which the
Placement Agents are notified), without the prior consent of the Placement Agents, unless in the
reasonable judgment of the Company and its counsel, and after notification to the Placement Agents,
such press release or communication is required by law or applicable stock exchange.

obtains the prior written consent of the Placement Agents, and the Placement Agents represent and
agree that, unless they obtain the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will
not make any offer relating to the Units that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,”
as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing
prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, required to be filed with the
Commission; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have
been given in respect of the free writing prospectuses included in Schedule II. Any such
free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Placement Agents is hereinafter
referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated
or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing
prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of
Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely Commission filing
where required, legending and record keeping.

contingent, or entered into any material transactions, or declared or paid any dividends or made
any distribution of any kind with respect to its capital stock; and there shall not have been any
change in the capital stock (other than a change in the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock due to the issuance of shares upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants), or any
material change in the short term or long term debt of the Company, or any issuance of options,
warrants, convertible securities or other rights to purchase the capital stock of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries (other than grants of stock options or other equity awards pursuant to the
Company’s equity incentive plan existing on the date hereof), or any Material Adverse Change or any
development involving a prospective Material Adverse Change (whether or not arising in the ordinary
course of business), or any material loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other
calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary, the
effect of which, in any such case described above, in the Placement Agents’ reasonable judgment,
makes it impractical or inadvisable to offer or deliver the Units on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and in the Prospectus.

6. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification of the Placement Agents. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Placement Agents against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
to which such Placement Agents may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise (including
in settlement of any litigation if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the
Company, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the information deemed to be a part of the
Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness and at any subsequent time pursuant to
Rules 430A and 430B of the Rules and Regulations, if applicable, any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (including
any documents filed under the Exchange Act and deemed to be incorporated by reference into the
Prospectus), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any materials or information provided to
investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering
of the Common Stock (“Marketing Materials”), including any roadshow or investor presentations made
to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically) or arise out of or are based upon
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) in whole or in part upon any
inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein; or (iii) in whole
or in part upon any failure of the Company to perform their respective obligations hereunder or
under law, and shall reimburse the Placement Agents promptly upon demand for any documented legal
fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Placement Agents in connection with
investigating, or preparing to defend, or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness
in respect of, or otherwise reasonably incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage,
expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are incurred);
provided, however, that with respect to clause (i) above, the Company shall not be liable in any
such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is
based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
the Registration Statement, including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration
Statement at the time of effectiveness and at any subsequent time pursuant to Rules 430A and 430B
of the Rules and Regulations, if applicable, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale
Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any documents
filed under the Exchange Act and deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus), any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any Marketing Materials, in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agents, specifically for use in
the preparation thereof, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Placement
Agents’ Information.
(b) Indemnification of the Company. Each of the Placement Agents, severally but not jointly,
will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise (including in
settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such
Placement Agents), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the information
24
deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness and at any
subsequent time pursuant to Rules 430A and 430B of the Rules and Regulations, if applicable, any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto (including any documents filed under the Exchange Act and deemed to be
incorporated by reference into the Prospectus), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any
Marketing Materials, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement,
including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of
effectiveness and at any subsequent time pursuant to Rules 430A and 430B of the Rules and
Regulations, if applicable, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the
Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any documents filed under the
Exchange Act and deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus), or any Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus or in any Marketing Materials in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agents, specifically for use in the
preparation thereof, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Placement Agents’
Information, and shall reimburse the Company promptly upon demand for any documented legal fees or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating, or preparing to
defend, or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise
reasonably incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action,
investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are incurred.
(c) Notice and Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
Section 6(a) or 6(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under such Section 6(a) or 6(b), notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the
extent such indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such
action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party
of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to
the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such
indemnified party under such Section 6(a) or 6(b) for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, the indemnified party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense of such action but the
fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be at the
expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized in writing by the Company in the case of a claim for indemnification under
Section 6(a) or the Placement Agents in the case of a claim for indemnification under
Section 6(b) or (ii) representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them (which such judgment
the indemnified party shall
25
have reasonably concluded in good faith); provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall
not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time
for all such indemnified parties, and the reasonable and documented expenses of such separate
counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties and reimbursed to the indemnified
parties as incurred (in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(a) or 6(b)
above, as applicable).
The indemnifying party under this Section 6 shall not be liable for any settlement of
any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there
be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified
party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or
judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have
requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel
as contemplated by this Section 6, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable
for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request,
(ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 45
days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have
reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or
threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have
been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party,
unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or
proceeding and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a
failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) Contribution; Limitation on Liability. If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 6 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
Section 6(a) or 6(b) above, then each indemnifying party shall in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section 6(a)
or 6(b) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agents on the other from the Offering or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)
above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agents on the
other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agents on the other from the Offering
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before
deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total placement agency fee received by the
Placement Agents, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to
26
information supplied by the Company or the Placement Agents and the parties’ relevant intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission. The Company and the Placement Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or
by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in the first sentence of this Section 6(d). The amount paid by an indemnified
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence
of this Section 6(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action
or claim which is the subject of this Section 6(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 6(d), the Placement Agents shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the amount by which the total price at which the Units placed by them and distributed to the
public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Placement Agents have
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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Placement Agents’ obligations to contribute as
provided in this Section 6(d) are several in proportion to the total placement agency fee
received by the Placement Agents and not joint.
(e) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall
be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the
same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Placement Agents within the
meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the Placement Agents under this
Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability that the respective Placement Agents may
otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the
Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in the Registration Statement as
about to become a director of the Company), to each officer of the Company who has signed the
Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act.
7. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, covenants,
agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Placement
Agents, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them respectively, pursuant to this Agreement,
shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Placement Agents, the Company, the Investors or any person controlling any of them and shall
survive delivery of and payment for the Units. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement,
including without limitation any termination pursuant to Section 9, the indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in Section 6 and the covenants, representations,
warranties set forth in this Agreement shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and
effect at all times.
8. Information Furnished by Placement Agents. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that,
for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Placement Agents’ Information” consists solely of the
statements contained in the seventh paragraph under the heading “Plan of
Distribution” in the Prospectus.
27
9. Termination of this Agreement.
(a) The Placement Agents shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice as
hereinafter specified at any time at or prior to the Closing Date, without liability on the part of
the Placement Agents to the Company, if (i) prior to delivery and payment for the Units (A) trading
in securities generally shall have been suspended on or by the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE
Amex, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market or in
the over the counter market (each, a “Trading Market”), (B) trading in the Common Stock of the

United States or there shall have been a declaration by the United States of a national emergency
or war, (E) there shall have occurred any other calamity or crisis or any material change in
general economic, political or financial conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the
effect of any such event specified in clause (D) or (E), in the judgment of the Placement Agents,
is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of
the sale of and payment for the Units on the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner
contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (ii) since
the time of execution of this Agreement or the earlier respective dates as of which information is
given in the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or incorporated by reference therein, there has been
any Material Adverse Change or the Company or any Subsidiary shall have sustained a loss or
interference with its business by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity,
whether or not covered by insurance, in each case which is not described in the Time of Sale
Disclosure Package or the Prospectus and is of such character that in the judgment of the Placement
Agents would, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change and which
would, in the judgment of the Placement Agents, make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed
with the offering or the delivery of the Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this
Agreement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (iii) the Company shall have
failed, refused or been unable to comply with the terms or perform any agreement or obligation of
this Agreement or any Subscription Agreement, other than by reason of a default by the Placement
Agents, or (iv) any condition of the Placement Agents’ obligations hereunder is not fulfilled. Any
such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the Company
will reimburse the Placement Agents for all of their out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by
them in connection with the Offering, and that the provisions of Section 6, and
Section 13 hereof shall at all times be effective notwithstanding such termination.
(b) If the Placement Agents elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this
Section 9, the Company shall be notified promptly by the Placement Agents by telephone,
confirmed by letter.
10. Notices. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned (the “Investor”) xxxxxx confirms and agrees with Rockwell Medical Technologies,

1. As of the Closing (as defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Investor will purchase from the Company and the Company will issue and sell to the Investor (i)
such number of shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company (the
“Common Stock”) and (ii) warrants to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”
and together with the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants, the “Securities”) as is set forth on the signature page hereto (the
“Signature Page”) for a purchase price of $7.75 per unit (each unit consisting of one share of
Common Stock and a warrant to buy 0.38 shares of Common Stock) (the “Unit”). The form of Warrant is
set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto.
2. The closing is expected to occur on October 5, 2009 (the “Closing”) in accordance with Rule
15c6-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
subject to the Company’s satisfaction of certain closing conditions set forth in an agreement
entered into between the Company and the placement agents (the “Placement Agents”) for the Offering
(as defined below). The provisions set forth in Exhibit A hereto shall be incorporated
herein by reference as if set forth fully herein.
3. The offering and sale of the Securities (the “Offering”) are being made pursuant to the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus (as such terms are defined below).
4. The Company has filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) (i) a prospectus included in the registration statement (File No. 333-160791), which
became effective as of August 17, 2009 (the “Base Prospectus”), (ii) if applicable, a preliminary
prospectus related to the Offering (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Statutory Prospectus”),
and (iii) if applicable, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the Securities and delivered
to the Investor on or prior to the date hereof (the “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), and will

“Prospectus”) with respect to the registration statement (File No. 333-160791) reflecting the
Offering, including all amendments thereto, the exhibits and any schedules thereto, the documents
otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the rules and regulations of the
Commission (the “Rules and Regulations”) and any registration statement relating to the Offering
and filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Rules and Regulations (collectively, the “Registration
Statement”), in conformity with the Securities Act, including Rule 424(b) thereunder. The Base
Prospectus, any Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the pricing
information contained in this agreement are collectively the “Time of Sale Disclosure Package”.
A-1
5. The Company’s obligation to issue and sell the Securities to the Investor shall be subject to
the receipt by the Company of the purchase price for the Securities being purchased hereunder as
set forth on the Signature Page and the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the
Investor and the fulfillment of those undertakings of the Investor to be fulfilled prior to the
date of the Closing.
6. The Company shall before the opening of trading on the NASDAQ Global Market on the next trading
day after the date hereof, (i) issue a press release, disclosing all material aspects of the
transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission
describing the terms of the Offering (and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K
this agreement, the form of Warrant and the Placement Agreement (as defined below)). The Company
shall not identify the Investor by name in any press release or public filing, or otherwise
publicly disclose the Investor’s name, without the Investor’s prior written consent, unless
required by applicable laws, rules and regulations.
7. The Investor represents that (i) it has had full access to the Time of Sale Disclosure Package
prior to or in connection with its receipt of this agreement and is relying only on such
information and documents in making its decision to purchase the Securities, and (ii) it is
acquiring the Securities for its own account, or an account over which it has investment
discretion, and does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any
person or entity to distribute any of the Securities.
8. Each of the Investor and the Company represents to the other that it has the requisite power and
authority to enter into this agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
this agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each enforceable against it in
accordance with the terms of the agreement, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and
contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law) and except as to the enforceability of any rights to indemnification or
contribution that may be violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation
(including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation).
9. The Investor understands that nothing in this agreement, the Prospectus or any other materials
presented or made available 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.
10. The Investor represents that 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, as of the date of this agreement, engaged in any purchases or sales in the
securities of the Company or has violated its obligations of confidentiality with respect to the
Offering since the time that the Investor was first contacted by the Company or its agents with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. 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 purchases or sales in the securities of the Company
prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this agreement are publicly disclosed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor and/or its affiliates that is,
individually or collectively, a multi-managed investment bank or vehicle whereby separate portfolio
managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s or affiliates assets and the portfolio
managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers
managing other portions of such Investor’s or affiliates assets, the representation set
A-2
forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio
managers that have knowledge about the financing transaction contemplated by this agreement.
11. The Investor represents that, except as set forth below, (i) it has had no position, office or
other material relationship within the past three years with the Company or persons known to it to
be affiliates of the Company, (ii) it is not a FINRA member or an Associated Person (as such term
is defined under FINRA Membership and Registration Rules Section 1011(b)) as of the date hereof,
and (iii) neither it nor any group of investors of which it is a member, will beneficially own or
have the right to acquire (including by virtue of beneficially owning securities convertible or
exercisable for Common Stock), in the aggregate, 20% or more of the Common Stock outstanding or 20%
of the voting power of the Company immediately after the consummation of the Offering. Exceptions:
(If no exceptions, write “none.” If left blank, response will be deemed to be “none.”)
12. This agreement will involve no obligation or commitment of any kind until this agreement is
accepted and countersigned by or on behalf of the Company. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties herein will survive the execution of this agreement, the delivery of
the Securities being purchased and the payment therefor. This agreement may not be modified or
amended except pursuant to an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Investor. This
agreement will be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York. This agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will constitute an original, but all of which,
when taken together, will constitute but one instrument. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that
the Investor’s receipt of the Company’s counterpart to this agreement shall constitute written
confirmation of the Company’s sale of Securities to such Investor.
12. The Company has entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, dated of even date herewith (the
“Placement Agreement”), with the placement agents that contains representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements of the Company that may be relied upon by the Investor, which shall be a
third party beneficiary thereof.

Re: Registered Direct Offering of Securities
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that you, as Placement Agents (the “Placement Agents”), propose to
enter into the Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) with Rockwell Medical
Technologies, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Company”), providing for the offering (the
“Offering”) of shares of common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”), warrants and
other securities, if applicable, of the Company. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Placement Agreement.
In order to induce the Placement Agents to enter in to the Placement Agreement, the
undersigned hereby agrees that for a period (the “Lock-Up Period”) of ninety (90) days following
the date of the final prospectus filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
in connection with such offering, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of
the Placement Agents, directly or indirectly, (1) offer for sale; sell, contract to sell, pledge or
otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device which is designed to, or could be
expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any shares of
Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or sell or grant
any options, rights or warrants with respect to any shares of Common Stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock other than (i) the grant of options or other
equity based compensation pursuant to plans existing as of the date of this Lock-Up Agreement, (ii)
the disposition of securities to the Company pursuant to a cashless exercise or tax withholding
feature contained in an option or other equity award outstanding as
of December 31, 2009, [and] (iii) the exercise of options and the disposition of Common Stock acquired upon
exercise of options expiring on or before the end of the Lock-Up Period [and (iv) the disposition
of Common Stock for net proceeds not to exceed $800,000 (in addition to any amounts disposed of
pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) above)][NOTE: to be included in the Lock-Up Agreement executed
by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx], or (2) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to
another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks or ownership of the Common
Stock, regardless of whether such transaction described herein is to be settled by delivery of the
Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, however, the foregoing
restriction shall not apply to (i) securities required to be issued pursuant to contractual
obligations of the Company in effect as of the date of this Lock-Up Agreement or (ii) equity
securities issued pursuant to employee benefit or purchase
B-1
plans in effect as of the date of this Lock-Up Agreement or pursuant to bona fide employee
benefit or purchase plans established during the Lock-Up Period.
None of the restrictions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement shall apply to Common Stock
acquired in open market transactions.
For the purpose of allowing you to comply with FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4), if (a) the Company
issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs
during the last seventeen (17) days of the lock-up period, or (b) prior to the expiration of the
Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the sixteen
(16)-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the restrictions imposed by this
Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the eighteen (18)-day period beginning on
the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event (the
term “Lock-Up Period” shall be deemed to include any extension pursuant to this paragraph).
The undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that written notice of any extension of the
Lock-Up Period pursuant to the previous paragraph will be delivered by the Placement Agents to the
Company (in accordance with the notice provision in the Placement Agreement) and that any such
notice properly delivered will be deemed to have been given to, and received by, the undersigned.
The undersigned further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other
action that is subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement during the period from the date of
this Lock-Up Agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the Lock-Up
Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take
any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up
Period (as may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph) has expired.
The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in
any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result
in a sale or disposition of the Common Stock even if such Common Stock would be disposed of by
someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include
without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without
limitation any put option or put equivalent position or call option or call equivalent position)
with respect to any of the Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to,
or derives any significant part of its value from such Common Stock.
The undersigned xxxxxx agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the
Company’s transfer agent against the transfer of securities of the Company held by the undersigned
during the Lock-Up Period (as may have been extended pursuant hereto), except in compliance with
this Lock-Up Agreement.
The undersigned understands that, if the Placement Agreement does not become effective, or if
the Placement Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall
terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the securities to be sold
thereunder, the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Lock-Up Agreement.
B-2
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and
authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement. This Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and all
authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the
undersigned and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
This Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
Very truly yours,

Matters to be Covered in the Opinion
of Corporate Counsel to the Company
of Corporate Counsel to the Company
1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the State of Michigan. Each of the Subsidiaries is a corporation or other entity duly
incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction
of incorporation or organization.
2. The Company and each Subsidiary is in good standing as a foreign corporation and is duly
qualified to do business in the jurisdictions listed opposite its name on a schedule thereto.
3. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority necessary to own or lease, as
the case may be and operate its properties, to conduct its business as currently being carried on
and as it is described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the
Prospectus, to execute and deliver the Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, and to issue,
sell and deliver the Units as contemplated by the Agreement and the Subscription Agreements.
4. The Company has the authorized and issued capital stock as set forth in the Time of Sale
Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and such capital stock conforms in all material respects as
to legal matters to the description thereof contained or incorporated by reference therein.
5. The Shares have been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Company and, when issued, sold and delivered by the Company to,
and paid for by, the Investors in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Subscription
Agreements, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will conform in all material
respects to the description thereof contained in the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the
Prospectus. The Warrants have been duly authorized and, when issued, delivered and paid for in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the Subscription Agreements and the Warrants, will be
valid and binding. Assuming a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
are available for issuance when the Warrants are exercised, the Warrant Shares, when and if issued
upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.
6. There are no statutory preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or to purchase,
nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, any of the Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to
the Company’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, the Michigan Business Corporation Act or any
agreement or other instrument known to such counsel to which the Company is a party or by which the
Company is bound.
7. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Disclosure Package
or the Prospectus, to such counsel’s knowledge, neither the filing of the Registration Statement
nor the offering or sale of the Units as contemplated by the Agreement gives rise to
D-1
any rights for or relating to the registration of any shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for rights which have been waived or
satisfied.
8. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, and to such
counsel’s knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment thereof has been issued by the Commission and no proceeding for that
purpose is pending before or, to such counsel’s knowledge, is threatened by the Commission; and all
filings required by Rule 424(b) and Rule 430A, 430B or 430C promulgated under the Securities Act
have been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b).
9. The Agreement and the Subscription Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Company and have been duly executed and delivered by the
Company and each constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the company, and is enforceable
against the Company in accordance with the terms thereof, except as the enforceability thereof may
be subject to or limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, or
other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors, and (b) general equitable
principles, regardless of whether the issue of enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or law.
10. The execution and delivery of Agreement and the Subscription Agreements by the Company and
the issuance and sale by the Company of the Units and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated by Agreement and the Subscription Agreements to be consummated by the
Company do not and will not result in any breach or a default under (nor constitute any event that
with notice, lapse of time or both would result in any breach or default under), or conflict with
(a) any provisions of the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Company, (b) any provision of
any material license, permit, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note, bank loan or credit
agreement or other evidence of indebtedness, or any license, lease, contract or other agreement or
instrument filed as an exhibit to the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K or
subsequently filed as an exhibit to any other report or registration statement, (c) any U.S.
federal or Michigan state law, regulation or rule that, in such counsel’s experience, is generally
applicable to transactions of the nature of those contemplated by the Agreement and the
Subscription Agreements and is applicable to the Company, or the Michigan Business Corporation Act
(other than the state securities or blue sky laws and the rules of FINRA governing placement agents
compensation, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion), or (d) any decree, judgment or order
known to such counsel to be applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary.
11. The Company is not required to register as an “investment company” as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
12. No approval, authorization, consent or order or filing with any U.S. federal, Michigan
state court or governmental or regulatory agency or body in the United States having jurisdiction
over the Company, or approval of the shareholders of the Company, is required to be obtained or
made by the Company for the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, except for such as have been duly obtained or made,
including without limitation, registration of the Shares and Warrant
D-2
Shares under the Securities Act and of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, or such as may
be required under (x) the state securities or blue sky laws of the various states or (y) the bylaws
or rules and regulations of FINRA, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion.
13. To such counsel’s knowledge, there is not pending or threatened in writing any action,
suit or proceeding, inquiry or investigation to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a
party, or to which the property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, before or
brought by any court or governmental agency or body that places in question the validity or
enforceability of, or seeks to enjoin the performance of, the Agreement and the Subscription
Agreements or which is of a character that is required to be disclosed in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus and is not so disclosed.

Form of Written Statement
of Corporate Counsel to the Company
of Corporate Counsel to the Company
Such counsel has acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and each amendment
or supplement thereto made by the Company prior to the Closing Date. Based on (x) such counsel’s
examination of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus,

representatives of the Placement Agents, counsel to the Placement Agents, the Company’s independent
public accountants and certain officers and other representatives of the Company, in which the
business and affairs of the Company were discussed, and, although we do not assume any
responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Registration Statement, the Time
of Sale Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, and we have made no independent check or verification
thereof, on the basis of the foregoing we can advise you as a matter of fact and not as an opinion
that nothing has come to such counsel’s attention to cause such counsel to believe that:
1. the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof (including any information omitted from
the Registration Statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be a part of and
included in the Registration Statement pursuant to 430B or 430C), at the Effective Time, contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (it being understood that such
counsel expresses no opinion with respect to the financial statements and schedules, and other
financial data, included in any of the documents mentioned in this paragraph);
2. the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, as of the Time of Sale, and the Statutory Prospectus,
as of its date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading (it being understood that such counsel expresses no opinion with respect to
the financial statements and schedules, and other financial data, included in any of the documents
mentioned in this paragraph); or
3. the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, as of its issue date and as of the
Closing Date, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that such counsel
expresses no opinion with respect to the financial statements and schedules, and other financial
data, included in any of the documents mentioned in this paragraph).
E-1
In addition, we confirm to you that the Registration Statement, as of the Effective Time, the
Statutory Prospectus as of the Time of Sale and the Prospectus, as of its date and the date hereof,
(except as to the financial statements and schedules, and other financial or statistical data
derived therefrom, contained in the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus and the
Prospectus, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion), complied as to form and appear on their
face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable requirements of
Form S-3 under the Securities Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, and the documents
incorporated by reference therein (except as to the financial statements and schedules, and other
financial or statistical data derived therefrom, contained therein, as to which such counsel
expresses no opinion), including any Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission prior to
the Closing Date, when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be,
complied as to form and appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and the rules and

hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the date six (6) months after the date
hereof (the “Exercisability Date”), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date
(as defined below), _________(_________) fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock
(as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in
this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 15. This Warrant is the Warrant to
purchase Common Stock (this “Warrant”) issued pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement,
dated as of September 29, 2009 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company and the Holder
(the “Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, (File
number 333-160791) (the “Registration Statement”)
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including,
without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(d)), this Warrant may be exercised by
the Holder on any day on or after the Exercisability Date, in whole or in part (but not as to
fractional shares), by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) if both
(A) the Holder is not electing a Cashless Exercise (as defined below) pursuant to Section 1(d) of
this Warrant and (B) a registration statement registering the issuance of the Warrant Shares under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is effective and available for the
issuance of the Warrant Shares, or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is
available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares, payment to the Company of an amount equal to the
applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is
being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately
available funds (a “Cash Exercise”). 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
with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares 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. In the event of an exercise of this Warrant for all Warrant Shares then
issuable hereunder, this Warrant shall be surrendered to the Company by the second (2nd)
Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and,
if this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cash Exercise, the Aggregate Exercise Price (the
“Exercise Delivery Documents”). On or before the first (1st)
F-1
Business Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Delivery
Documents, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of
the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer
Agent”). On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which the
Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the “Share Delivery Date”), the
Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit
such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise
to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program or if the certificates are required to bear a legend regarding
restriction of transferability, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified
in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of
the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is
entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise
Delivery Documents (or, in the case of a cashless exercise,
the Exercise Notice), the Holder
shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant
Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant
Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates
evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with
any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this
Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an
exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business
Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section
7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior
to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this
Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to
the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all issuance or withholding taxes which may
be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this
Warrant; 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 Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an affiliate thereof or
any other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or the
Warrant Shares.
(b) Exercise
Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise
Price” means $9.55
per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail for any
reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the
Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to
credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, and if on or after such date, the
Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the
Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a
“Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s
“Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s
F-2
obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Warrant Shares or credit such
Holder’s balance account with DTC) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to
deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares or credit such
Holder’s balance account with DTC and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if
any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B)
the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.
(d) Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, (A) if
a registration statement registering the issuance of the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is
not effective or (B) if the Fair Market Value of a share of the
Company’s Common Stock is greater than $12.00, the Holder may, in its sole
discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment
otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate
Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common
Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
Net Number = |
(A x B) - (A x C) | ||
B |
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= | the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised (which shall include both the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Holder and the number of Warrant Shares subject to the portion of the Warrant being cancelled in payment of the Purchase Price). | ||
B= | the average of the closing prices of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Nasdaq) for the five Trading Days immediately preceding (but not including) the date of the Exercise Notice (the “Fair Market Value”). | ||
C= | the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise. |
(e) Rule 144. For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as
in effect on the date hereof, it is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise
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
Subscription Agreement.
(f) Limitations on Exercises. The Holder shall not have the right to exercise this
Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Holder (together with such
Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes
of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of
F-3
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of
such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such
Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion
of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates
(including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein.
Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), it being acknowledged that the Company is not representing to the
Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the
Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. For
purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the
Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement
by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral
request of the Holder, the Company shall within two Business Days confirm orally and in writing to
the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or
exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and its affiliates
since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By
written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum
Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice;
provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first
(61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase will
only apply to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.
(g) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share
that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a
cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price.
2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. If the Company at any
time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant
Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription
Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme,
arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will
be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.
Any adjustment under this Section 2 shall become effective at the close of business on the date
the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or make any
dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to
F-4
holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without
limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a
dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other
similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in
each such case:
(a) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record
date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the
Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a
price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall
be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding
such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s
Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the
Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such
record date; and
(b) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number
of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date
fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the
Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding
paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of Common
Stock (or common stock) (“Other Shares of Common Stock”) of a company whose common shares are
traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the Holder
may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in
the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant,
except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common
Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder
exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price
equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with
respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph (a) and
the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (b).
4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if
at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Company grants, issues or sells any Options,
Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata
to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the
Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the
aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken
for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date
as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue
or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(b) Fundamental Transactions; Parent Entities. The Company shall not enter into or be
party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) if the Successor Entity is a publicly traded
corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, the
Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this
F-5
Warrant pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a
written instrument issued by the Successor Entity substantially similar in form and substance to
this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the
shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for
a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock
acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the
exercise of this Warrant) immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and (ii) if the
Successor Entity is not a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for
trading on an Eligible Market, the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of
the Company under this Warrant pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange
for such Warrants a written instrument issued by the Successor Entity substantially similar in form
and substance to this Warrant exercisable for the consideration that would have been issuable in
the Fundamental Transaction in respect of the Warrant Shares had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. The provisions of this
Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be
applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control, at the request of the
Holder delivered at any time prior to the second business day prior to the consummation of such
Change of Control (such a request, a “Black Scholes Exercise”), the Company (or the Successor
Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, on the effective
date of the Change of Control, cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Change of Control.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of determining the Black Scholes
Value, this Warrant shall be deemed to be exercisable from and after the date of issuance of the
Warrant regardless of any restrictions on exercisability set forth herein.
The Company shall provide to the Holder notice of any Fundamental Transaction at least
twenty (20) days prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction either (i) by
facsimile or overnight courier or (ii) by widely disseminated press release.
In the event that any person becomes a Parent Entity of the Company, such person shall assume
all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such person had
been named as the Company herein.
5. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will
not, by amendment of its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, Amended and Restated
Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of
arrangement, 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, and will at all times
in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company (i) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (ii) shall, so long as this Warrant is outstanding, take all
action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued and otherwise
unreserved shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this
Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock which are then issuable and deliverable upon exercise
of this entire Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER.
(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of
F-6
this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of
share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be
construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this
Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold
consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of
stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive
dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant
Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In
addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the
Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder
of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(a) above, if on any one day (the
“Dividend Trigger Date”), the Company declares a cash dividend to the holders of its common
stock in an amount such that when combined with all other cash dividends paid and distributed
by the Company to the holders of its common stock within the prior six (6) months, the
Company will have declared cash dividends in an aggregate amount that is equal to or greater
than 5.0% of the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares outstanding on the
Dividend Trigger Date and (y) the closing price of one share of the Company's common stock on
the Dividend Trigger Date, then the Holder, as the holder of this Warrant, shall be entitled to
receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the number
of Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is then exercisable and (b) the aggregate amount of
dividends paid with respect to one share of the Company's common stock during such six (6)
month period. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the
payment and distribution of the dividend declared on the Dividend Trigger Date.
7. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.
(a) Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon the 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 purposes of any exercise hereof or any distribution
to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary. The Company shall
also register any transfer, exchange, reissuance or cancellation of any portion of this Warrant in
the Warrant Register.
(b) Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or
assigned without the consent of the Company, except as may be required by applicable securities
laws. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company,
whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant
(in accordance with Section 7(e)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to
purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less then the total
number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in
accordance with Section 7(e)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares not being transferred.
(c) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the
Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in
accordance with Section 7(e)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying
this Warrant.
(d) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the
surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or
Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(e)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the
number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the
right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of
such surrender; provided, however, that no Warrants for fractional shares of Common
Stock shall be given.
(e) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant
pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like
F-7
tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant,
the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new
Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(b) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the
Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants
issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then
underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new
Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions
as this Warrant.
8. 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 8 at or prior to 5:00
p.m. (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 8 on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:00 p.m. (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 addresses for such notices or communications shall be: (a)
if to the Company, to Rockwell Medical Technologies, Inc., 00000 Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000
Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Facsimile No.: (000) 000-0000 (or such other address as the Company
shall indicate in writing in accordance with this Section 8) or (b) if to the Holder, to the
address or facsimile number appearing on the signature page to the Subscription Agreement (or such
other address as the Holder shall indicate in writing in accordance with this Section 8).
9. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this
Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform
any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent
of the Holder.
10. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and
performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the
State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdictions other than the State of New York.
11. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the
Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof. The
headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the
interpretation of, this Warrant.
12. REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies
provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under
this Warrant and the Subscription Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific
performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder
to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein or in the Subscription Agreement to the
contrary, if the Company is for any reason unable to issue and deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise
of this Warrant as required pursuant to
F-8
the terms hereof, the Company shall have no obligation to pay to the Holder any cash or other
consideration or otherwise “net cash settle” this Warrant.
13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the
arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Closing Bid Price, the Closing Sale Price, or the
Black Scholes Value, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic
calculations via facsimile within two (2) business days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the
Exercise Notice or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If
the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within
two (2) business days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to
the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) business days submit via facsimile (i) the
disputed determination of the Black Scholes Value of the Company's Common Stock to an
independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of
the Exercise Price, Closing Bid Price, or the Closing Sale Price to the Company's independent,
outside accountant. The Company shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case
may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of
the results no later than five (5) business days from the time it receives the disputed
determinations or calculations. Such investment bank's or accountant's determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and except with respect to any
undisputed amounts, the three (3) Business Day period set forth in Section 1(c) hereof shall be
tolled until the resolution of any such dispute.
14. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have
the following meanings:

(i) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the
remaining term of this Warrant as of such date of request and (ii) an expected volatility equal to
the greater of 75% and the 30-day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg on such
date.
