undersigned (the “Purchaser”), intending to be legally bound, hereby irrevocably
agrees to purchase from Manhattan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), the number of units (the “Units”) of the Company set forth on
the signature page hereof at a purchase price of $25,000 per
Unit. This subscription is submitted to you in accordance with and
subject to the terms and conditions described in this Subscription Agreement and
the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated December 28, 2009, as may
amended or supplemented from time to time, including all attachments, schedules
and exhibits thereto (the “Memorandum,” and, together with this Subscription
Agreement, the “Offering Documents”) and relating to the offering (the
“Offering”) by the Company of a minimum of 100 Units ($2,500,000) and a maximum
of 160 Units ($4,000,000) with the right at the sole discretion of the Company
and the Placement Agent to increase the maximum by an additional 40 Units
($1,000,000) (the “Overallotment”). Each Unit is being offered at a
price of $25,000 per Unit and consists of (i) 357,143 shares of common stock,
$0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock” or “Shares”) of the Company and
(ii) 535,714 warrants (each a “Warrant” and collectively the “Warrants”), each
of which will entitle the holder to purchase one additional share of Common
Stock (each a “Warrant Share” and collectively the “Warrant
Shares”). The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares may be
collectively referred to in this Subscription Agreement as the
"Securities". The Units are being offered on an exclusive basis
through National Securities Corporation (the “Placement Agent”). The
minimum subscription for a Purchaser in the Offering is one Unit ($25,000);
provided, however, that Placement Agent
and the Company, in their sole discretion, may waive such minimum subscription
requirement from time to time.
2. Payment. The
Purchaser encloses herewith a check payable to, or will immediately make a wire
transfer payment to “Signature Bank, Escrow Agent for Manhattan
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.” in the full amount of the purchase price of the Units
being subscribed for. Such funds will be held for the Purchaser's
benefit, and will be returned promptly, without interest or offset if this
Subscription Agreement is not accepted by the Company or the Offering is
terminated pursuant to its terms or by the Company or the Placement
Agent. Together with a check for, or wire transfer of, the full
purchase price, the Purchaser is delivering (i) a completed and executed Omnibus
Signature Page to this Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement and (ii) an Investor Questionnaire and Investor Profile, which is
annexed hereto.
3. Deposit of
Funds. All payments made as provided in Section 2 hereof shall
be deposited by the Company or the Placement Agent as soon as practicable with
the Escrow Agent, in a non-interest-bearing escrow account (the “Escrow
Account”) until the earliest to occur of (a) the occurrence of a closing, the
first of which shall not occur until $2,500,000 of Units are sold (the “First
Closing”), (b) the rejection of such subscription, or (c) the termination of the
Offering by the Company or the Placement Agent. The Company and the
Placement Agent may continue to offer and sell the Units and conduct additional
closings (each, a “Closing”) for the sale of additional Units after the First
Closing and until the termination of the Offering. In the event that the Company
does not effect a Closing (as defined below), on or before February 28, 2010
(the “Initial Offering Period”), which period may be extended by the Company and
the Placement Agent, in their mutual discretion to a date no later than March
28, 2010 (the “Termination Date”, with this additional period, together with the
Initial Offering Period, being referred to herein as the “Offering Period”), the
Company will refund all subscription funds, without deduction and/or interest
accrued thereon, and will return the subscription documents to each
Purchaser. If the Company and/or the Placement Agent rejects a
subscription, either in whole or in part (which decision is in their sole
discretion), the rejected subscription funds or the rejected portion thereof
will be returned promptly to such Purchaser without interest accrued
thereon.
4. Acceptance of
Subscription. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the
Company and the Placement Agent, in their discretion reserve the right to accept
or reject this or any other subscription for Units, in whole or in part,
notwithstanding prior receipt by the Purchaser of notice of acceptance of this
or any other subscription. The Company shall have no obligation
hereunder until the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an
executed copy of this Subscription Agreement. If this subscription is
rejected in whole, or the Offering is terminated, all funds received from the
Purchaser will be returned without interest, penalty, expense or deduction, and
this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or
effect. If this subscription is rejected in part, the funds for the
rejected portion of this subscription will be returned without interest,
penalty, expense or deduction, and this Subscription Agreement will continue in
full force and effect to the extent this subscription was accepted.

with the offering and sale of the Units and is not subscribing for Units and did

seminar or meeting to which the Purchaser was invited by, or any solicitation of
a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection

(h) The
Purchaser has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person

Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than
commissions and other compensation to be paid by the Company to the Placement
Agent or as otherwise described in the Offering Documents);
(i) The
Purchaser's decision to enter into this Subscription Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement has been made based solely on the independent
evaluation of the Purchaser and its own Advisors, if any, and the Purchaser,
either alone or together with its Advisors, if any, has such knowledge and
experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular,
investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made

of an investment in the Units and the Company and to make an informed investment
decision with respect thereto;
(j) The
Purchaser is not relying on the Company, the Placement Agent or any of their

agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell or
transfer all or any part of the Units, the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant
Shares, and the Purchaser has no plans to enter into any such agreement or
arrangement;
(m) The
purchase of the Units represents a high risk capital investment and the
Purchaser is able to afford an investment in a speculative venture having the
risks and objectives of the Company. The Purchaser must bear the
substantial economic risks of the investment in the Units indefinitely because
none of the Units, the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares may be sold,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such
registration is available. Legends shall be placed on the Units, the

concern;

Purchaser: (i) if a natural person, represents that the Purchaser has reached
the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this
Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to
carry out the provisions hereof and thereof; (ii) if a corporation, partnership,

capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, xxxx, partnership, trust,
estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other
entity for whom the Purchaser is executing this Subscription Agreement, and such
individual, partnership, xxxx, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability
company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform
pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and make an investment in the Company,
and represents that this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such entity. The execution and delivery of this

(t) The

high risk securities. The Purchaser is knowledgeable about
investments in small and thinly capitalized, development stage
companies. The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss
of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should
occur. The Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which are

financial circumstances and the purchase of the Units will not cause such
commitment to become excessive. The investment is a suitable one for
the Purchaser;

Purchaser is satisfied that the it has received adequate information with
respect to all matters which it or the Advisors, if any, consider material to

OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED
UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE
OFFERING DOCUMENTS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS
UNLAWFUL;
(aa) Other
than with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, since the earlier to

to, purchase Securities in the Offering and any and all such Securities

only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan represents
that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s
investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest
“plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent
with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and
impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Purchaser fiduciary or
Plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is

prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding

the Placement Agent should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the
information set forth in these representations. The Purchaser
understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to
“freeze the account” of the Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional
subscriptions from the Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or
segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental
regulations, and the Placement Agent may also be required to report such action
and to disclose the Purchaser’s identity to OFAC. The Purchaser
further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Purchaser,

ANTI
MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS
|
The USA PATRIOT Act
|
What is money
laundering?
|
How big is the problem
and why is it important?
|
||
|
The
USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the
United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money
laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial
institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have
been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering
programs.
To
help you understand these efforts, the Placement Agent wants to provide
you with some information about money laundering and its steps to
implement the USA PATRIOT Act.
|
|
Money
laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that
the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or
activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide
variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking,
robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.
|
|
The
use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or
other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According
to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of
worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a
year.
|
|
What
is the Placement Agent required to do to eliminate money
laundering?
|
||
|
Under
new rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, the Placement Agent’s
anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer,
set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish
policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and
ensure compliance with the new laws.
|
As
part of its required program, the Placement Agent may ask you to provide
various identification documents or other information. Until
you provide the information or documents the Placement Agent needs, we may
not be able to effect any transactions for
you.
