ARTICLE

Representations
and Warranties
Section
2.1 Representations
and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and
warrants to the Purchasers, except as set forth in the Company’s disclosure
schedule delivered with this Agreement (with each numbered schedule
corresponding to the section number herein), as follows:
(a) Organization,
Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate
its
properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being
conducted. The Company does not have any direct or indirect
Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 2.1(g)) except PolyMASC Pharmaceuticals
plc
and Urigen N.A., Inc., or own securities of any kind in any other
entity. The Company and each such Subsidiary is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction
in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes
such
qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the
aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material
Adverse Effect. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material
Adverse Effect” means (i) any adverse effect on the business, operations,
properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company or its Subsidiaries
and which is material to such entity or other entities controlling or controlled
by such entity and/or (ii) any condition, circumstance, or situation that would
prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of the Company
to
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents (as defined below) in any material respect.
-5-
(b) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Certificate of
Designation, the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D
(the
“Registration Rights Agreement”), the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
(as defined in Section 3.14) and the Warrants (collectively, the “Transaction
Documents”), and to issue and sell the Preferred Shares in accordance with
the terms hereof and the Warrants, as applicable. The execution,
delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly
and
validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent
or
authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is
required. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Company. The other Transaction Documents will have been duly executed
and delivered by the Company at the Closing. Each of the Transaction
Documents constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid
and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship,
receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement
of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.
(c) Capitalization. The
authorized capital stock of the Company and the shares thereof currently issued
and outstanding as of July 31, 2007 is set forth on Schedule 2.1(c)(1)
hereto. All of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock
and any other security of the Company have been duly and validly
authorized. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.1(c)(1), no shares of
Common Stock or any other security of the Company are entitled to preemptive
rights or to registration rights which have not already been complied with,
and
except as set forth in Schedule 2.1(c)(1), there are no outstanding options,
warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call or commitments of any character
whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares
of
capital stock of the Company. Furthermore, except as set forth in
this Agreement and as set forth in Schedule 2.1(c)(1), there are no contracts,
commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is or may
become bound to issue additional shares of the capital stock of the Company
or
options, securities or rights convertible into shares of capital stock of the
Company. The Company is not a party to or bound by any agreement or
understanding granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any person with
respect to any of its equity or debt securities. Except as set forth
on Schedule 2.1(c)(2), the Company is not a party to, and it has no
knowledge of, any agreement or understanding restricting the voting or transfer
of any shares of the capital stock of the Company. The offer and sale
of all capital stock, convertible securities, rights, warrants, or options
of
the Company issued prior to the Closing complied with all applicable federal
and
state securities laws, and no holder of such securities has a right of
rescission or claim for damages with respect thereto which could have a Material
Adverse Effect. The Company has furnished or made available to the
Purchasers true and correct copies of the Company’s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (the
“Certificate”), and the Company’s Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof
(the “Bylaws”).
-6-
(d) Issuance
of Securities. The Preferred Shares and the Warrants to be issued
at the Closing have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
and,
when paid for or issued in accordance with the terms hereof, the Preferred
Shares and the Warrants shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid
and
nonassessable and free and clear of all taxes, liens, encumbrances and rights
of
refusal of any kind and the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled
to
all rights accorded to them in the Certificate of Designation. When
the Warrant Shares are issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of
this
Agreement and as set forth in the Warrants, and when the Conversion Shares
are
issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, such shares will be duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action and validly issued and outstanding,
fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, encumbrances
and rights of refusal of any kind and the holders shall be entitled to all
rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.
(e) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of
the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation,
the
issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares) do not and will not (i) violate or conflict with any provision
of the Company’s Certificate or Bylaws or its Subsidiaries’
comparable charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or
an
event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond,
license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company or
any
of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries’ respective properties or assets are bound, (iii) create or impose
a lien, mortgage, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature on
any
property or asset of the Company or its Subsidiaries under any agreement or
any
commitment to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or by which any of their
respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of
any
federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment
or
decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset
of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are bound or affected, except, in all
cases other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iv) (with respect to
federal and state securities laws) above, for such conflicts, defaults,
terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being
conducted in violation of any laws, ordinances or regulations of any
governmental entity, except for possible violations which singularly or in
the
aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required under federal, state,
foreign or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization
or
order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental
agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations
under the Transaction Documents or issue and sell the Preferred Shares, the
Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in accordance with the
terms hereof or thereof (other than any filings which may be required to be
made
by the Company with the Commission, prior to or subsequent to the Closing,
or
state securities administrators subsequent to the Closing, or any registration
statement which may be filed pursuant hereto or the Registration Rights
Agreement).
-7-
(f) Commission
Documents, Financial Statements. The Common Stock of the Company
is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange
Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and except as set forth on
Schedule 2.1(f), the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms,
statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the Commission
pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, including material
filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (all of the
foregoing, including filings incorporated by reference therein, together with
the Merger Filings (as defined below), being referred to herein as the
“Commission Documents”). The Company has delivered or made
available to the Purchasers true and complete copies of the latest Commission
Documents filed with the Commission. The Company has not provided to
the Purchasers any material non-public information or other information which,
according to applicable law, rule or regulation, should have been disclosed

respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. At the
time of their respective filings and as of the date hereof, the Form S-4 (File
No. 333-140443), as amended, and the Form 8-K, filed on July 19, 2007 (the
“Merger Filings”) complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of
the
Commission promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local laws,
rules
and regulations applicable to such documents, and the Merger Filings did not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of
the Company included in the Commission Documents comply as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published
rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and
regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved
(except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the
notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent
they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements),
and
fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company
and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of operations
and
cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).
(g) Subsidiaries. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation or other
entity of which at least a majority of the securities or other ownership
interests having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or other
persons performing similar functions are held or beneficially owned directly
or
indirectly by the Company. The Company’s only direct or indirect
Subsidiaries are PolyMASC Pharmaceuticals plc, an entity organized under the
laws of England and Wales, and Urigen N.A., Inc., a corporation organized under
the laws of the State of Delaware. Such Subsidiaries are each
wholly-owned by the Company. All of the outstanding membership
interests and other securities of such Subsidiaries have been duly authorized
and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable. There are
no outstanding preemptive, conversion or other rights, options, warrants or
agreements granted or issued by or binding upon any such Subsidiary for the
purchase or acquisition of any membership interests or other securities of
such
Subsidiary or any other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or
evidencing the rights to subscribe for any membership interests or other
securities of such Subsidiary. Neither the Company nor any such
Subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase
or otherwise acquire or retire any membership interests or other securities
of
such Subsidiary or any convertible securities, rights, warrants or options
of
the type described in the preceding sentence. Neither the Company nor
any such Subsidiary is party to, nor has any knowledge of, any agreement
restricting the voting or transfer of any membership interests of such
Subsidiaries.
-8-

Material Adverse Change. Since March 31, 2007, and except as
disclosed in the Commission Documents, the Company has not experienced or
suffered any Material Adverse Effect.
(i) No
Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1
hereto, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liabilities,
obligations, claims or losses (whether liquidated or unliquidated, secured
or
unsecured, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) other than those incurred
in the ordinary course of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective
businesses since March 31, 2007 and which, individually or in the aggregate,
do
not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or its
Subsidiaries.
(j) No
Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Since March 31, 2007, no
event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or
any
of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties, prospects,
operations or financial condition, which, under applicable law, rule or
regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which
has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.
(k) Indebtedness.
The Company’s financial statements and other information in the Commission
Documents set forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured
Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or for which the Company or
its
Subsidiaries have commitments, except as set forth on Schedule
2.1(k). The Company is not in default with respect to any such
indebtedness.
(l) Title
to Assets. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good and
marketable title to all of its real and personal property, free and clear of
any
mortgages, pledges, charges, liens, security interests or other encumbrances
of
any nature whatsoever, except for those indicated in the Commission Documents
or
such that, individually or in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse
Effect. All leases of the Company and its Subsidiaries are valid and
subsisting and in full force and effect.
(m) Actions
Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation,
arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or other proceeding pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or its
Subsidiaries which questions the validity of this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Except
as set forth on Schedule 2.1(m) hereto, there is no action, suit, claim,
investigation, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or other
proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against
or
involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
properties or assets, which individually or in the aggregate, would have a
Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding orders, judgments,
injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or
regulatory body against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any officers
or directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries in their capacities as such,
which individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse
Effect.
-9-
(n) Compliance
with Law. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries has
been and is presently being conducted in accordance with all applicable federal,
state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, or such
that, individually or in the aggregate, the noncompliance therewith would have
a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries have all
franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory
authorizations and approvals necessary for the conduct of their business as
now
being conducted by them unless the failure to possess such franchises, permits,
licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and
approvals, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected

the Company or its Subsidiaries are subject and which are not currently due
and
payable. None of the federal income tax returns of the Company or its
Subsidiaries have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service. The
Company has no knowledge of any additional assessments, adjustments or
contingent tax liability (whether federal, state or foreign) of any nature
whatsoever, whether pending or threatened against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries for any period, nor of any basis for any such assessment,
adjustment or contingency.
(p) Certain
Fees. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(p) hereto, no brokers,
finders or financial advisory fees or commissions will be payable by the Company
or any subsidiary or any Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.
(q) Disclosure. The
Company confirms that neither it nor anyone working on its behalf has provided
any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that
constitutes or might constitute material, nonpublic
information. Neither this Agreement or the Schedules hereto nor any
other documents, certificates or instruments furnished to the Purchasers by
or
on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
made
herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made
herein or therein, not misleading.
(r) Operation
of Business. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess all
patents, trademarks, domain names (whether or not registered) and any patentable
improvements or copyrightable derivative works thereof, websites and
intellectual property rights relating thereto, service marks, trade names,
copyrights, licenses and authorizations, and all rights with respect to the
foregoing, which are necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted
without any conflict with the rights of others.
-10-
(s) Environmental
Compliance. The Company and its Subsidiaries have obtained all
material approvals, authorization, certificates, consents, licenses, orders
and
permits or other similar authorizations of all governmental authorities, or
from
any other person, that are required under any Environmental
Laws. “Environmental Laws” shall mean all applicable laws
relating to the protection of the environment including, without limitation,
all
requirements pertaining to reporting, licensing, permitting, controlling,
investigating or remediating emissions, discharges, releases or threatened
releases of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants
or toxic substances, materials or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous
in
nature, into the air, surface water, groundwater or land, or relating to the
manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal,
transport or handling of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants,
contaminants or toxic substances, material or wastes, whether solid, liquid
or
gaseous in nature. The Company has all necessary governmental
approvals required under all Environmental Laws and used in its business or
in
the business of its Subsidiaries, except for such instances as would not
individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Company and its Subsidiaries are also in compliance with all other limitations,
restrictions, conditions, standards, requirements, schedules and timetables
required or imposed under all Environmental Laws. Except for such
instances as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse
Effect, there are no past or present events, conditions, circumstances,
incidents, actions or omissions relating to or in any way affecting the Company
or its Subsidiaries that violate or may violate any Environmental Law after
the
Closing or that may give rise to any environmental liability, or otherwise
form
the basis of any claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study or
investigation (i) under any Environmental Law, or (ii) based on or related
to
the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage (including,
without limitation, underground storage tanks), disposal, transport or handling,
or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release of any hazardous
substance. “Environmental Liabilities” means all liabilities
of a person (whether such liabilities are owed by such person to governmental
authorities, third parties or otherwise) whether currently in existence or
arising hereafter which arise under or relate to any Environmental
Law.
(t) Books
and Records; Internal Accounting Controls. The records and
documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries accurately reflect in all material
respects the information relating to the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, the location and collection of their assets, and the nature of
all
transactions giving rise to the obligations or accounts receivable of the
Company or its Subsidiaries. The Company and its Subsidiaries
maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment
of
the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (i)
transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate actions are taken
with respect to any differences.
-11-
(u) Material
Agreements. Except for those filed as exhibits to the Commission
Documents, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any
written or oral contract, instrument, agreement, commitment, obligation, plan
or
arrangement, a copy of which would be required to be filed with the Commission
(collectively, “Material Agreements”) if the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries were registering securities under the Securities
Act. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(u) hereto, the Company and
its Subsidiaries have in all material respects performed all the obligations
required to be performed by them to date under the foregoing agreements, have
received no notice of default and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge are
not in default under any other Material Agreement now in effect, the result
of
which could cause a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in
Section 2.1(u) hereto, no written or oral contract, instrument, agreement,
commitment, obligation, plan or arrangement of the Company or of any of its
Subsidiaries limits the payment of dividends on its Common Stock.
(v) Transactions
with Affiliates. Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents,
there are no loans, leases, agreements, contracts, royalty agreements,
management contracts or arrangements or other continuing transactions between
(a) the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective customers or
suppliers on the one hand, and (b) on the other hand, any executive officer,
5%
or greater stockholder, director or employee of the Company, or its
Subsidiaries, or, to the knowledge of the Company, any member of the immediate
family of such persons or any corporation or other entity controlled by such
persons or their immediate family members.
(w) Securities
Act of 1933. The Company has complied and will comply with all
applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with the offer,
issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares hereunder. Neither the Company nor anyone
acting on its behalf, directly or indirectly, has or will sell, offer to sell
or
solicit offers to buy any of the Securities, or similar securities to, or
solicit offers with respect thereto from, or enter into any preliminary
conversations or negotiations relating thereto with, any person, or has taken
or
will take any action so as to bring the issuance and sale of any of the
Securities under the registration provisions of the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. Neither the Company nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any
form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of
Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale
of
any of the Securities.
(x) Governmental
Approvals. Except for the filing of any notice prior or
subsequent to the Closing that may be required under applicable state and/or
federal securities laws (which if required, shall be filed on a timely basis),
no authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of, filing or
registration with any court or governmental department, commission, board,
bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, is or will be necessary
for, or in connection with, the execution or delivery of the Preferred Shares
and the Warrants, or for the performance by the Company of its obligations
under
the Transaction Documents.

the Company nor its Subsidiaries have any collective bargaining arrangements
or
agreements covering any of their employees. Neither the Company nor
its Subsidiaries have any employment contract, agreement regarding proprietary
information, non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement,
confidentiality agreement, or any other similar contract or restrictive
covenant, relating to the right of any officer, employee or consultant to be
employed or engaged by the Company or such Subsidiary. Since March
31, 2007, no officer, consultant or key employee of the Company or its
Subsidiary whose termination, either individually or in the aggregate, could
have a Material Adverse Effect, has terminated or, to the knowledge of the
Company, has any present intention of terminating his or her employment or
engagement with the Company or any Subsidiary.

(aa) Use
of
Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Shares will
be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
(bb) Public
Utility Holding Company Act and Investment Company Act
Status. The Company is not a “holding company” or a “public
utility company” as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company
Act of 1935, as amended. The Company is not, and as a result of and
immediately upon the Closing will not be, an “investment company” or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(cc) ERISA. No
liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been incurred with
respect to any Plan by the Company or any of its subsidiaries which is or would
be materially adverse to the Company and its subsidiaries. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issue and sale of the Preferred
Shares will not involve any transaction which is subject to the prohibitions
of
Section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant
to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provided
that,
if any of the Purchasers, or any person or entity that owns a beneficial
interest in any of the Purchasers, is an “employee pension benefit plan” (within
the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) with respect to which the Company is
a
“party in interest” (within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA), the
requirements of Sections 407(d)(5) and 408(e) of ERISA, if applicable, are
met. As used in this Section 2.1(cc), the term “Plan” shall mean an
“employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) which is or
has been established or maintained, or to which contributions are or have been
made, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by any trade or business,
whether or not incorporated, which, together with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, is under common control, as described in Section 414(b) or (c)
of
the Code.
-14-
(dd) Dilutive
Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number
of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and the
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will increase in certain
circumstances. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation
to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in accordance
with this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation and its obligations
to
issue the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with
this Agreement and the Warrants, is, in each case, absolute and unconditional
regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership
interest of other stockholders of the Company.
(ee) No
Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers
to
buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the
Preferred Shares and Warrants pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with
prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would
prevent the Company from selling the Preferred Shares and Warrants pursuant
to
Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related
stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates
or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the
Preferred Shares and Warrants to be integrated with other
offerings. The Company does not have any registration statement
pending before the Commission or currently under the Commission’s review and
since January 1, 2007, the Company has not offered or sold
any of its equity securities or debt securities convertible into shares of
Common Stock.
(ff) Independent
Nature of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that the
obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall
be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges
that the decision of each Purchaser to purchase securities pursuant to this
Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other purchase
and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as
to
the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results
of
operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company
or of
its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or
by
any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its
agents or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other
person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements
or opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein,
or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant
hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or
as
a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by
the
Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Purchaser
shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including
without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the
other
Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser
to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. The Company acknowledges that for reasons of administrative
convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for
one of the Purchasers and such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers
but only such Purchaser and the other Purchasers have retained their own
individual counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Purchasers with
the
same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and
not
because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers. The
Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction
Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or
the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
-15-
(gg) Sarbanes
Oxley; Transfer Agent. The Company has complied with its
obligations under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. The Company’s transfer agent is a participant
in and the Common Stock is eligible for transfer pursuant to the Depository
Trust Company Automated Securities Transfer Program. The name,
address, contact person and telephone number of the Company’s transfer agent is
set forth on Schedule 2.1(gg) hereto.
Section
2.2 Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers
severally and not jointly hereby makes the following representations and
warranties to the Company with respect solely to itself and not with respect
to
any other Purchaser:
(a) Organization
and Standing of the Purchasers. If the Purchaser is an entity,
such Purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly
incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.
(b) Authorization
and Power. The Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to
enter into and perform this Agreement and to purchase the Preferred Shares
being
sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by such Purchaser and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have
been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action (if the
Purchaser is an entity), and no further consent or authorization of such
Purchaser or its Board of Directors, stockholders, or partners, as the case
may
be, is required. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such
Purchaser.
(c) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation by such
Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto
do not and will not (i) result in a violation of such Purchaser’s charter
documents or bylaws or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event
which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or
give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Purchaser
is a party, or result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any
order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to
such
Purchaser or its properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations
as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect
on such Purchaser).
-16-
(d) Acquisition
for Investment. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Preferred Shares
and the Warrants solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and
not with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution. Such
Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell the Preferred Shares or
the
Warrants, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or
intention to effect any distribution of the Preferred Shares or the Warrants
to
or through any person or entity, provided that by making the
representations herein and subject to Section 2.2(h) below, such Purchaser
does
not agree to hold the Preferred Shares or the Warrants for any minimum or other
specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Preferred Shares or
the
Warrants at any time in accordance with Federal and state securities laws
applicable to such disposition. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it
is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the
Preferred Shares and the Warrants and that it has been given full access to
such
records of the Company and the subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company
and the subsidiaries and received such information as it has deemed necessary
or
appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation.
(e) Accredited
Purchasers. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined
in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and has such knowledge
and
experience in financial and business matters that such Purchaser is capable
of
evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Preferred
Shares.
(f) Opportunities
for Additional Information. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such
Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from,
or obtain additional information from, the executive officers of the Company
concerning the financial and other affairs of the Company, and to the extent
deemed necessary in light of such Purchaser’s personal knowledge of the
Company’s affairs, such Purchaser has asked such questions and received answers
to the full satisfaction of such Purchaser, and such Purchaser desires to invest
in the Company.
(g) No
General Solicitation. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the
Securities were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general
or
public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated
advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article,
notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar
media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting
to
which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of
communications.
(h) Rule
144. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares must be held
indefinitely unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or
an
exemption from registration is available. Such Purchaser acknowledges
that such Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations
of
the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule
144”), and that such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only
under certain circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that to the
extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell
any
Shares without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence
of
another exemption from such registration requirement.
-17-
(i) No
Shorting. No Purchaser has engaged in any short sales of the
Common Stock or instructed any third parties to engage in any short sales of
the
Common Stock on its behalf prior to the Closing Date. Each Purchaser
covenants and agrees that it will not be in a net short position with respect
to
the shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 2.2(i), a
“net short position” means a sale of Common Stock by a Purchaser that is marked
as a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent
offsetting long position in Common Stock held by such Purchaser.
(j) General. Such
Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance
on
a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of Federal and
state
securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
of
such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of
such
exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the
Shares.
ARTICLE
III
Covenants
The
Company covenants with each of the Purchasers as follows, which covenants are
for the benefit of the Purchasers and their permitted assignees (as defined
herein).
Section
3.1 Securities
Compliance. The
Company shall notify the Commission in accordance with their rules and
regulations, of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction
Documents, including filing a report on Form 8-K and filing a Form D with
respect to the Preferred Shares, Warrants, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares,
if required by the Commission’s rules, and shall take all other necessary action
and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and
regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Preferred Shares, the
Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares to the Purchasers or
subsequent holders.
Section
3.2 Registration
and Listing. The Company will cause its Common Stock to continue
to be registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, will comply
in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange
Act, will comply with all requirements related to any registration statement
filed pursuant to this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and
will
not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the
Securities Act or the rules promulgated thereunder) to terminate or suspend
such
registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations
under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as permitted
herein. The Company will take all action necessary to continue the
listing or trading of its Common Stock on the over-the-counter electronic
bulletin board and on such other exchange or market on which the Common Stock
is
trading. If required, the Company will apply any listing application
for the Shares and Warrant Shares. The Company further covenants and
agrees that it will take such further action as the Purchasers may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchasers
to sell the Securities without registration under the Securities Act within
the
limitation of the exemptions provided in Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act. Upon the request of the Purchasers, the Company shall
deliver to the Purchasers a written certification of a duly authorized officer
as to whether it has complied with such requirement.
-18-
Section
3.3 Inspection
Rights. The Company shall permit, during normal business hours
and upon reasonable request and reasonable notice, each Purchaser or any
employees, agents or representatives thereof, so long as such Purchaser shall
be
obligated hereunder to purchase the Preferred Shares or shall beneficially
own
any Preferred Shares, or shall own Conversion Shares which, in the aggregate,
represent more than 1% of the total combined voting power of all voting
securities then outstanding, for purposes reasonably related to such Purchaser’s
interests as a stockholder to examine and make reasonable copies of and extracts
from the records and books of account of, and visit and inspect the properties,
assets, operations and business of the Company and any subsidiary, and to
discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and any subsidiary
with any of its officers, consultants, directors, and key
employees.
Section
3.4 Compliance
with Laws. The Company shall comply, and cause each subsidiary to
comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, noncompliance
with which could have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section
3.5 Keeping

each of its Subsidiaries to keep adequate records and books of account, in
which
complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied,
reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
and
in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion,
obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection
with its business shall be made.
Section
3.6 Reporting
Requirements. If the Company ceases to file its periodic reports
with the Commission, or if the Commission ceases making these periodic reports
available via the Internet without charge, then at a Purchaser’s request the
Company shall furnish the following to such Purchaser so long as such Purchaser
shall be obligated hereunder to purchase the Preferred Shares or shall
beneficially own any Preferred Shares, or shall own Conversion Shares which,
in
the aggregate, represent more than 1% of the total combined voting power of
all
voting securities then outstanding:
(a) Quarterly

(c) Copies
of
all notices and information, including without limitation notices and proxy
statements in connection with any meetings, that are provided to holders of
shares of Common Stock, contemporaneously with the delivery of such notices
or
information to such holders of Common Stock.
-19-
Section
3.7 Amendments. The
Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the Certificate, Bylaws or
the
Registration Rights Agreement in any way that would adversely affect the
liquidation preferences, conversion rights, voting rights or redemption rights
of the holders of the Preferred Shares, unless in compliance with the terms
of
such instruments or agreements.
Section
3.8 Other
Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement in
which the terms of such agreement would restrict or impair the right or ability
to perform of the Company or any subsidiary under any Transaction Document
or
the Certificate of Designation. The Company shall comply with the
terms of the Transaction Documents.
Section
3.9 Distributions;
Subsidiaries; Use of Proceeds. So long as any Preferred Shares or
Warrants remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (i) declare
or
pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock
or
(ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common
Stock or other equity security of the Company. So long as any
Preferred Shares or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it
shall not transfer, assign, pledge, issue or otherwise permit any equity or
other ownership interests in the Subsidiaries to be beneficially owned or held
by any person other than the Company. The proceeds from the sale of
the Preferred Shares will be used by the Company for working capital and general
corporate purposes and not to redeem or repay any securities or indebtedness
or
to settle any outstanding litigation.
Section
3.10 Status
of Dividends. The Company covenants and agrees that (i) no
Federal income tax return or claim for refund of Federal income tax or other
submission to the Internal Revenue Service will adversely affect the Preferred
Shares, any other series of its Preferred Stock, or the Common Stock, and any
deduction shall not operate to jeopardize the availability to Purchasers of
the
dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code or any
successor provision, (ii) in no report to shareholders or to any governmental
body having jurisdiction over the Company or otherwise will it treat the
Preferred Shares other than as equity capital unless required to do so by a
governmental body having jurisdiction over the accounts of the Company or by
a
change in generally accepted accounting principles required as a result of
action by an authoritative accounting standards setting body, and (iii) other
than pursuant to this Agreement or the Certificate of Designation, it will
take
no action which would result in the dividends paid by the Company on the
Preferred Shares out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and
profits being ineligible for the dividends received deduction provided by
Section 243(a)(1) of the Code. The preceding sentence shall not be
deemed to prevent the Company from designating the Preferred Stock as
“Convertible Preferred Stock” in its annual and quarterly financial statements
in accordance with its prior practice concerning other series of preferred
stock
of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
be required to restate or modify its tax returns for periods prior to the
Closing Date. In the event that the Purchasers have reasonable cause
to believe that dividends paid by the Company on the Preferred Shares out of
the
Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be treated as
eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1)
of the Code, or any successor provision, the Company will, at the
reasonable request of the Purchasers of 51% of the outstanding Preferred Shares,
join with the Purchasers in the submission to the Service of a request for
a
ruling that dividends paid on the Shares will be so eligible for Federal income
tax purposes, at the Purchasers expense. In addition, the Company
will reasonably cooperate with the Purchasers (at Purchasers’ expense) in any
litigation, appeal or other proceeding challenging or contesting any ruling,
technical advice, finding or determination that earnings and profits are not
eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1)
of
the Code, or any successor provision to the extent that the position to be
taken
in any such litigation, appeal, or other proceeding is not contrary to any
provision of the Code or incurred in connection with any such submission,
litigation, appeal or other proceeding. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to preclude the Company
from
claiming a deduction with respect to such dividends if (i) the Code shall
hereafter be amended, or final Treasury regulations thereunder are issued or
modified, to provide that dividends on the Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares
should not be treated as dividends for Federal income tax purposes or that
a
deduction with respect to all or a portion of the dividends on the Shares is
allowable for Federal income tax purposes, or (ii) in the absence of such an
amendment, issuance or modification and after a submission of a request for
ruling or technical advice, the service shall rule or advise that dividends
on
the shares should not be treated as dividends for Federal income tax
purposes. If the Service determines that the Preferred Shares or
Conversion Shares constitute debt, the Company may file protective claims for
refund.
-20-
Section
3.11 Disclosure
of Transaction. The Company shall issue a press release
describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (the
“Press Release”) no later than the 2nd
Trading Day
following the Closing Date. The Company shall also file with the
Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) describing the
material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (and attaching as
exhibits thereto this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the
Registration Rights Agreement, the form of Warrant and the Press Release) as
soon as practicable following the Closing Date but in no event more than four
(4) Trading Days following the Closing Date, which Press Release and Form 8-K
shall be subject to prior review and reasonable comment by the
Purchasers. “Trading Day” means any day during which the
principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded shall be open for
trading.
Section
3.12 Conversions;
Opinions. The Company will provide, at the Company's expense,
such legal opinions in the future as are reasonably necessary for the issuance
and resale of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares
and exercise of the Warrants pursuant to an effective registration statement,
Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or an exemption from registration. In the
event that Common Stock is sold in a manner that complies with an exemption
from
registration, the Company will promptly instruct its counsel (at its expense)
to
issue to the transfer agent an opinion permitting removal of the legend
(indefinitely, if pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the 1933 Act, or to permit sale
of
the shares if pursuant to the other provisions of Rule 144 of the 1933
Act).
Section
3.13 Reservation
of Shares. So long as any of the Preferred Shares or Warrants
remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times
have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than 120%
of
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the
issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.
-21-
Section
3.14 Transfer
Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable
instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue
certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective
nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts
as
specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon conversion
of
the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit E
attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions”). Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and
the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear
the restrictive legend specified in Section 6.1 of this
Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the
Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 3.14 will
be
given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Shares shall otherwise
be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the
extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.14 shall affect in any way each
Purchaser’s obligations and agreements set forth in Section 6.1 to comply with
all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon resale of the
Shares. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale,
assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under
the
Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances
that the Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as
to
the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of
the
Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent
to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as
specified by such Purchaser and, without any restrictive legend. The
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section
3.14 will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent
and
purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Section 3.14 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a
breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section
3.14, that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring
immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic
loss
and without any bond or other security being required.
Section
3.15 Disposition
of Assets; Liens. (a) So long as the Preferred Shares remain
outstanding, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall (i) sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights
including, without limitation, its software and intellectual property, to any
person except for sales to customers in the ordinary course of business or
with
the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares
then outstanding or (ii) enter into, create, incur or suffer to exit any liens
of any kind on, or with respect to any of their property or assets now owned
or
hereafter acquired or any interest therein or income or profits therefrom,
other
than (a) liens for taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or levies
not yet due or liens for taxes, assessments and other governmental charges
or
levies being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings for which
adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of the management of the Company)
have been established in accordance with GAAP, (b) liens in connection with
any
bank loans permitted pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation,
(c) liens imposed by law which were incurred in the ordinary course of business,
such as carriers’, warehousemen’s and mechanics’ liens, statutory landlords’
liens, and other similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business,
and
(x) which do not individually or in the aggregate materially detract from the
value of such property or assets or materially impair the use thereof in the
operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or (y) which
are
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings
have
the effect of preventing the forfeiture or sale of the property or asset subject
to such lien and (d) liens existing on the date hereof.

Section
3.16 Most
Favored Nation Exchange Right. The Company will comply with its
obligations under Section 8 of the Certificate of Designation.
Section
3.17 Subsequent
Financing. For a period of three (3) years following the Closing
Date so long as the Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company covenants
and agrees to promptly notify (in no event later than three (3) business days
after making or receiving an applicable offer) each Purchaser in writing (a
“Rights Notice”) of the terms and conditions of any proposed offer or sale to,
or exchange with (or other type of distribution to) any person (the “New
Purchaser”), of Common Stock or any debt or equity securities convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock (a “Subsequent
Financing”). The Rights Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail,
the proposed Subsequent Financing, the names and investment amounts of all
investors participating in the Subsequent Financing (if known), the proposed
closing date of the Subsequent Financing, which shall be within ten (10)
calendar days from the date of the Rights Notice, and all of the terms and
conditions thereof and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into
in
connection therewith. The Rights Notice shall provide each Purchaser
an option (the “Rights Option”) during the five (5) Trading Days following
delivery of the Rights Notice (the “Option Period”) to elect to purchase
securities in the form of the securities being offered in such Subsequent
Financing up to an additional amount of such securities that will permit such
Purchaser to maintain its proportionate ownership interest in the
Company. Proportionate ownership shall be determined on a fully
diluted basis, without giving effect to any limitations on exercise set forth
in
the Preferred Shares, the Warrants or any other securities of the Company
(including the securities to be issued in the Subsequent
Financing). Such acquisition to be on the same, absolute terms and
conditions as contemplated by such Subsequent Financing. Delivery of
any Rights Notice constitutes a representation and warranty by the Company
that
there are no other material terms and conditions, arrangements, agreements
or
otherwise except for those disclosed in the Rights Notice, to provide additional
compensation to any party participating in any proposed Subsequent Financing,
including, but not limited to, additional compensation based on changes in
the
Purchase Price or any type of reset or adjustment of a purchase or conversion
price or to issue additional securities at any time after the closing date
of a
Subsequent Financing. If the Company receives notice of exercise of
the Rights Option from the Purchaser within the Option Period, it shall make
provision in such Subsequent Financing for the issuance to the Purchaser of
the
securities required hereunder (it being understood that such securities hall
be
in addition to the securities to be issued to the New Purchaser, not in lieu
of
such securities). If the Company does not receive notice of exercise
of the Rights Option from the Purchaser within the Option Period, the Company
shall have the right to close the Subsequent Financing on the scheduled closing
date with the New Purchaser; provided that all of the material terms and
conditions of the closing are the same as those provided to the Purchaser in
the
Rights Notice. If the closing of the proposed Subsequent Financing
does not occur on that date, any closing of the contemplated Subsequent
Financing or any other Subsequent Financing shall be subject to all of the
provisions of this Section 3.17, including, without limitation, the delivery
of
a new Rights Notice. The provisions of this Section 3.17 shall not
apply to Permitted Issuances (as defined in the Warrants)
-23-
Section
3.18 Affiliate
Transaction. Without the prior written consent of holders of at least 50% of
the Preferred Shares, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not engage in
any
transactions with any officer, director, employee or any Affiliate of the
Company or any Subsidiary, including any contract, agreement or other
arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for
rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments
to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the
Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has
a
substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, in each
case in excess of an aggregate of $100,000 each fiscal year, other than (i)
for
payment of salary, bonus or consulting fees for services rendered as approved
by
the compensation committee of the Board of Directors, the majority of the
members of which are independent directors, (ii) reimbursement for expenses
incurred on behalf of the Company, (iii) stock or option grants authorized
by the Board of Directors or by a committee of the Board of Directors the
majority of the members of which are independent directors and (iv) transactions
in the ordinary course of the Company’s business to the extent the disinterested
directors of the Board of Directors of the Company determine the terms of such
transaction to be fair to the Company and reasonably equivalent to the terms
that could have been obtained from an unaffiliated third-party in an arms-length
transaction.
Section
3.19 Reporting. So
long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Shares, the Company shall
timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to
the
Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer
required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or
the
rules and regulations thereunder would permit such
termination. The Company currently meets, and will take all
necessary action to continue to meet, the “registrant eligibility” and
transaction requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form SB-2
applicable to “resale” registrations on Form SB-2 during the Effectiveness
Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and the Company shall
file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the Commission in
a
timely manner so as to maintain such eligibility for the use of Form
SB-2.
Section
3.20 Pledge
of Securities. The Company acknowledges that the Securities may be pledged
by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan
or
financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge
of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the
Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of the Securities
shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise
make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document; provided that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall be
required to comply with the provisions of Article VI hereof in order to effect
a
sale, transfer or assignment of Securities to such pledgee. At the Purchasers'
expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation
as
a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge
of the Securities to such pledgee by a Purchaser.
Section
3.21 Amendment
to Bylaws. The Company shall, within 45 days of the date hereof
(the “Amendment Deadline”), cause its Bylaws to be duly amended, the form of
which amendment shall be satisfactory to the Purchasers in their sole discretion
(the “Bylaw Amendment”), to permit adjustments to the Conversion Price set forth
in the Certificate of Designation or the Warrant Price set forth in the Warrants
(or the number of shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Preferred
Shares and/or the Warrants) for as long as any of the Preferred Shares or
Warrants are outstanding, including, without limitation, adjustments that would,
but for the Bylaw Amendment, be prohibited by Section 48 of the Company’s Bylaws
in effect on the date hereof. The Company and the Purchasers agree
that the Purchasers will suffer damages if the Bylaw Amendment is not effective
on or prior to the Amendment Deadline. The Company and the Purchasers
further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such
damages with precision. Accordingly, if the Bylaw Amendment is not
effective on or prior to the Amendment Deadline, the Company shall pay an amount
as liquidated damages to each Purchaser equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%)
of the amount of the Purchaser’s initial investment in the Preferred Shares and
Warrants for each calendar month or portion thereof thereafter from the
Amendment Deadline until the Bylaw Amendment is effective.
-24-
Section
3.22 Offering
Restriction. Until the effectiveness of the Bylaw Amendment
(“Restriction Period”), the Company shall not enter into an agreement to nor
issue any equity, options, warrants, rights, convertible debt or other
securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or other equity
of
the Company (whether exercisable or convertible during the Restriction Period
or
otherwise) at an effective price of less than $0.15 per share of Common Stock
(giving effect to any splits or similar adjustments), nor modify any of the
foregoing which may be outstanding during the Restriction Period if the effect
of such modification would be to reduce to effective price of such Common Stock
to less than $0.15 per share, without the prior written consent of the
Purchasers, which consent may be withheld for any reason (treating the effective
price as the sum of the price of such instrument and any additional
consideration payable upon conversion or exercise).

Indemnification
Section
8.1 General
Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Purchasers and any finder (and their respective directors, officers, affiliates,
agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by
the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the
representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company
herein. Each Purchaser severally but not jointly agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents,
successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities,
deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Company
as result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties
or
covenants made by such Purchaser herein. The maximum aggregate
liability of each Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification obligations under
this Article 8 shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such
Purchaser hereunder.
Section
8.2 Indemnification
Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this
Article VIII (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the
indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification;
provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder
to
give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of
its
obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the indemnifying
party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case
any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in
respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment
of
the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying
party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume
the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an
indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification
hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification
notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle
or
compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or
discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then
the
indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise
or
pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the
indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense
of
any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses
arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim
or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification
hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the
indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such
action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying
party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep
the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the
defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the
indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the
indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel
of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding
effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything
in this Article VIII to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without
the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or
consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future
obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an
unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to
the
indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such
claim. The indemnification required by this Article VIII shall be
made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of
investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss,
damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably
agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to
indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be
in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified
party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the
indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

Company and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would
occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Certificate
of Designation, the Warrants or the Registration Rights Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled
to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions

(b) Each
of
the Company and the Purchasers (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the

District of New York and the courts of the State of New York located in New
York
County for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees
not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is
not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action
or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit,
action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the
Purchasers consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect
for
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in
this Section 9.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law. The parties hereto agree that the prevailing
party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the
Preferred Shares, the Warrants, this Agreement or the other agreements between
the Purchasers and the Company contemplated hereby shall be entitled to
reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing
party.
Section
9.3 Entire
Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and,
except as specifically set forth herein or in the Transaction Documents or
the
Certificate of Designation, neither the Company nor any of the
Purchasers makes any representations, warranty, covenant or undertaking with
respect to such matters and they supersede all prior understandings and
agreements with respect to said subject matter, all of which are merged
herein. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other
than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the holders of at least
a
majority of the Preferred Shares then outstanding and no provision hereof may
be
waived other than by a written instrument signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any such amendment or waiver is sought. No such
amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all
of
the holders of the Preferred Shares then outstanding. No
consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to
a
waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents
or
the Certificate of Designation unless the same consideration is also offered
to
all of the parties to the Transaction Documents or holders of Preferred Shares,
as the case may be.

Ladies

Reference
is made to that certain Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement,
dated as of July 31, 2007, by and among Urigen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and the purchasers named therein
(collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company
is issuing to the Purchasers shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock,
par value $.001 per share, (the “Preferred Shares”) and
warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s
common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) in
connection with the sale and issuance of Preferred Shares and Warrants to the
Purchasers. This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization
and direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company
at
such time) to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) and exercise of the Warrants
(the “Warrant Shares”) to or upon the order of a Purchaser from
time to time upon (i) surrender to you of a properly completed and duly executed
Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice, as the case may be, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit I and Exhibit II, respectively, (ii) in the case of the
conversion of Preferred Shares, a copy of the certificates (with the original
certificates delivered to the Company) representing Preferred Shares being
converted or, in the case of Warrants being exercised, a copy of the Warrants
(with the original Warrants delivered to the Company) being exercised
(or, in each case, an indemnification undertaking with respect to such share
certificates or the warrants in the case of their loss, theft or destruction),
and (iii) delivery of a treasury order or other appropriate order duly executed
by a duly authorized officer of the Company. So long as you have
previously received (x) written confirmation from counsel to the Company that
a
registration statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares, as applicable, has been declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and no subsequent notice by
the Company or its counsel of the suspension or termination of its effectiveness
and (y) a copy of such registration statement, and if the Purchaser represents
in writing that the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, as the case may
be,
were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, then certificates representing
the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, shall not
bear
any legend restricting transfer of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares,
as the case may be, thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer
restriction. Provided, however, that if you have not previously
received (i) written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a
registration statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares, as applicable, has been declared effective by the SEC under the 1933
Act, and (ii) a copy of such registration statement, then the certificates
for
the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares shall bear the following
legend:
-40-
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR
URIGEN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT
REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.”
and,
provided further, that the Company may from time to time notify you to place
stop-transfer restrictions on the certificates for the Conversion Shares and
the
Warrant Shares in the event a registration statement covering the Conversion
Shares and the Warrant Shares is subject to amendment for events then current
or
the prospectus which is part of such registration statement may no longer be
used for sales of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares.
A
form of
written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a registration statement
covering resales of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares has been
declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act is attached hereto as Exhibit
III.
Please
be
advised that the Purchasers are relying upon this letter as an inducement to
enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement and, accordingly, each Purchaser
is
a third party beneficiary to these instructions.
Please
execute this letter in the space indicated to acknowledge your agreement to
act
in accordance with these instructions. Should you have any questions
concerning this matter, please contact me at (000) 000-0000.

Re: Urigen
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
are
counsel to Urigen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with
that certain Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”), dated as of July __, 2007, by and among
the Company and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the
“Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the
Purchasers shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001
per share, (the “Preferred Shares”) and warrants (the
“Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock,
par value $.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company
agreed, among other things, to register the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants (together the
“Registrable Shares”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“1933 Act”). In connection with the Company’s
obligations under the Purchase Agreement, on ________________, 2007, the Company
filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-________) (the
“Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the resale of the
Registrable Shares which names each of the present Purchasers as a selling
stockholder thereunder.
In
connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff
has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the
Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF
EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we
have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that
any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any
proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC
and
accordingly, the Registrable Shares are available for resale under the 1933
Act
pursuant to the Registration Statement.
Very
truly yours,
[COMPANY

URIGEN
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
FORM
OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
1. The
Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the state of Delaware and has the requisite corporate
power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on
its
business as presently conducted. The company is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction
in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes
such
qualification necessary.
2. The
Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to issue the
Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of
the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants. The execution,
delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company
and
the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly
and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent
or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is
required. Each of the Transaction Documents have been duly executed
and delivered, and the Preferred Stock and the Warrants have been duly executed,
issued and delivered by the Company and each of the Transaction Documents
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its respective terms. The
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of
the
Warrants are not subject to any preemptive rights under the Certificate of
Incorporation or the Bylaws.
3. The
Merger of the Company and Urigen N.A., Inc. was duly authorized by all necessary
stockholders and other corporate action and was consummated in accordance with
the terms of the Merger Agreement described in the Registration Statement on
Form S-4 (Commission File No. 33-140443) filed by the Company.
4. The
Preferred Stock and the Warrants have been duly authorized and, when delivered
against payment in full as provided in the Purchase Agreement, will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants,
have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and, when delivered upon
conversion or against payment in full as provided in the Certificate of
Designation and the Warrants, as applicable, will be validly issued, fully
paid
and nonassessable.
5. The
execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of the
Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Warrants
and
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise
of
the Warrants do not (i) violate any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, (ii) to our knowledge conflict with, or constitute
a
default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become
a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of
trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation
to which the Company is a party, (iii) to our knowledge create or impose a
lien,
charge or encumbrance on any property of the Company under any agreement or
any
commitment to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound
or
by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or
(iv) (a) result in a violation of any federal, state or local statute,
rule or regulation, or to our knowledge, any order, judgment, injunction or
decree (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable
to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or
affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clause (i)
above, for such conflicts, default, terminations, amendments, acceleration,
cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect.
6. No
consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing
with
any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required under Federal,
state or local law, rule or regulation in connection with the valid execution,
delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or
issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Warrants or the Common Stock issuable
upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants other than the
Certificate of Designation, the Registration Statement, report on Form 8-K
and
Form D, both to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
7. To
our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding
pending or threatened against the Company which questions the validity of this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or to
be
taken pursuant hereto or thereto. To our knowledge, there is no
action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending, or to our knowledge,
threatened, against or involving the Company or any of its properties or assets
and which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. To our knowledge, there are no outstanding orders,
judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or
governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any officers or directors
of the Company in their capacities as such.
8. The
offer, issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants and the offer,
issuance and sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the
Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
the Certificate of Designation and the Warrants, as applicable, are based on
the
Purchasers’ representations in the Agreement, exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.
9. The
Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon Closing will not be,
an
“investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.

truly yours,
