SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.202
THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SUBSCRIBED FOR BY THIS AGREEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND TRANSFER OF SUCH SHARES IS RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made by and between the subscriber hereto (the “Subscriber”) and Calypte Biomedical Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
The Subscriber hereby agrees to purchase, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and to sell to the Subscriber, the number of shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $.03 per share (the “Common Stock”), set forth on the signature page, for a purchase price in cash equal to $0.03 per share (the aggregate amount to be paid by the Subscriber shall be referred to as the “Purchase Price”). After acceptance of this Agreement by the Company and payment and delivery by the
Subscriber to the Company of the Purchase Price in the form of wire transfer pursuant to the terms of Section 7(b) of this Agreement, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Subscriber the Shares.
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to implement the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows.
1. Subscriber’s Representations and Warranties. The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company that:
(a) Access to Information. The Subscriber acknowledges that he or she has been furnished with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) together with all subsequently filed Forms 10-Q, 8-K, and other publicly available filings made with the Commission (hereinafter referred to collectively as the
“Reports”) and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as he or she has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Company; (ii) access to information about the Company and its subsidiary and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable him or her to evaluate his or her investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Subscriber or his or her representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect the Subscriber’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Reports and the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein.

(b) Information on Subscriber. The Subscriber is and was not a “U.S. person,” as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and was outside the United States, at the time the offer or sale of the Securities was made. Additionally, the Subscriber is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Regulation D of the 1933 Act or is part of a group that is experienced in investments and business matters, has made investments of a
speculative nature and has purchased securities of United States publicly-owned companies in private placements in the past and, with his or her representatives, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and other business matters as to enable the Subscriber to utilize the information made available by the Company, to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the proposed purchase, which represents a speculative investment. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Subscriber and when delivered by the Subscriber in accordance with terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against him or her in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application. The Subscriber is able to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof. The information set forth on the signature page hereto regarding the Subscriber is accurate.
(c) Purchase of Shares and Investment Intent. The Subscriber is purchasing the Shares for his or her own account for the Purchase Price. The Subscriber is acquiring the Shares as principal for his or her own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the Subscriber’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. The Subscriber does not have any
agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any of the Shares. The Subscriber also represents that the purchase of the Shares is intended to be made as an “Offshore Transaction” as defined in Regulation S.
(d) Compliance with Securities Act. The Subscriber understands and agrees that the Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act, by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does not require registration under the 1933 Act (based in part on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained herein), and that such Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons unless the Shares are registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act is available.
(e) Legend on Shares. The Shares shall bear the following legend (or something comparable for the Warrant), unless the Shares shall have been included in an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act:

THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

For purposes of this Section, “Short
Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 3b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and include all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers having the effect of hedging the securities or investment made under this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, the Subscriber has no open short position in the Common Stock, and covenants that neither the Subscriber nor any person acting on his or her
behalf or pursuant to any understanding with him or her will engage in any Short Sales prior to the public disclosure of the material terms of this transaction by the Company. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that he or she may not engage in any hedging transactions with respect to the Shares other than in compliance with the 1933 Act.
(h) Correctness of Representations. The Subscriber represents that the foregoing representations and warranties are true and correct. The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the date hereof.
2. Company Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to and agrees with the Subscriber that:
(a) Due Incorporation. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a material
adverse effect on the business, operations or financial condition of the Company.
