price of $3.01 per share (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 hereof) (the
“Exercise Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set
forth:
Exercise
Rights.
(a) Cash
Exercise. The
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder
at
any time during the term hereof, as defined in sections 1(f), in whole or in
part, by surrender of this Warrant and delivery of a completed and duly executed
Notice of Cash Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit
A
hereto,
accompanied by payment to the Company of an amount equal top the Exercise Price
then in effect multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased by
the
Holder in connection with such cash exercise of this Warrant, which amount
may
be paid, at the election of the Holder, by wire transfer, delivery of a check
payable to the order of the Company or delivery of a promissory note made by
the
Company for whole or partial cancellation, or any combination of the foregoing,
to the principal offices of the Company. The exercise of this Warrant shall
be
deemed to have been effected on the day on which the Holder surrenders this
Warrant to the Company and satisfies all of the requirements of this Section
1.
Upon such exercise, the Holder will be deemed a shareholder of record of those
Warrant Shares for which the Warrant has been exercised with all rights of
a
shareholder (including, without limitation, all voting rights with respect
to
such Warrant Shares and all rights to receive any dividends with respect to
such
Warrant Shares). If this Warrant is to be exercised in respect of less than
all
of the Warrant Shares covered hereby, the Holder shall be entitled to receive
a
new warrant covering the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which this
Warrant shall not have been exercised and for which it remains subject to
exercise. Such new warrant shall be in all other respects identical to this
Warrant.
(b) Net
Issue Exercise.
(i) In
lieu
of exercising the purchase rights represented by this Warrant on a cash basis
pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof, the Holder may elect to exercise such rights
represented by this Warrant at any time during the term hereof, in whole or
in
part, on a net-issue basis by electing to receive the number of Warrant Shares
which are equal in value to the value of this Warrant (or any portion thereof
to
be canceled in connection with such net-issue exercise) at the time of any
such
net-issue exercise, by delivery to the principal offices of the Company this
Warrant and a completed and duly executed Notice of Net-Issue Exercise, in
the
form attached as Exhibit
B
hereto,
properly marked to indicate (A) the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered
to
the Holder in connection with such net-issue exercise, (B) the number of Warrant
Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being surrendered in payment of
the
aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder
in
connection with such net-issue exercise, and (C) the number of Warrant
Shares which remain subject to the Warrant after such net-issue exercise, if
any
(each as determined in accordance with Section 1(b)(ii) hereof).
(ii) In
the
event that the Holder shall elect to exercise the rights represented by this
Warrant in whole or in part on a net-issue basis pursuant to this Section 1(b),
the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined
in
accordance with the following formula:

admitted for trading on a national market system, the then Fair Market Value
of
a share of Common Stock shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors (the “Board of Directors”).
(ii) If
the
Common Stock is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or admitted
for trading on a national market system, then the Fair Market Value of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be the closing price quoted on the principal securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for trading, or if not so listed,
the average of the closing bid and asked prices for Common Stock quoted on
the
national market system on which Common Stock is admitted for trading, each
as
published in the Western Edition of The
Wall Street Journal,
in each
case for the ten trading days prior to the date of exercise pursuant to
clause (b) of Fair Market Value for Common Stock in accordance
herewith.

(i) Merger.
If

securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such merger
or consolidation, to which a holder of the stock deliverable upon exercise
of
this Warrant would have been entitled in such merger or consolidation if this

Holder after the merger or consolidation.
-5-
(ii) Stock
Splits, Dividends, Combinations and Consolidations.
In

event of a stock split, stock dividend or subdivision of or in respect of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior to
such
stock split, stock dividend or subdivision shall be proportionately increased
and the Exercise Price then in effect shall be proportionately decreased,
effective at the close of business on the date of such stock split, stock
dividend or subdivision, as the case may be. In the event of a reverse stock
split, consolidation, combination or other similar event of or in respect of
the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior to
such
reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event shall

increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such reverse stock
split, consolidation, combination or other similar event, as the case may
be.

3. Transfer

(a) Conditions. This
Warrant and the rights represented hereby are not transferable, except in

Commission under the Securities Act which includes this Warrant, this Warrant
may not be transferred unless and until:

Company receives an Investment Representation Statement, in the form attached
as
Exhibit E
hereto,

and
(ii) the
Company receives a written notice from the Holder which describes the manner
and
circumstances of the proposed transfer accompanied by a written opinion of
Holder’s legal counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, stating that such transfer is exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state
securities laws or with a Commission “no-action” letter stating that future
transfers of such securities by the transferor or the contemplated transferee
would be exempt from registration under the Securities Act or such securities

foregoing, the Company shall, or shall instruct its transfer agent to, promptly,
and without expense to the Holder issue new securities in the name of the Holder
not bearing the legends required under Section 1(c)(ii). In addition, new
securities shall be issued without such legend if such legends may be properly
removed under the terms of Rule 144(k).
4. No
Shareholder Rights.
The
Holder of this Warrant (and any transferee hereof) shall not be entitled to

Stock, or otherwise be deemed to be the holder of Common Stock or any other
capital stock or other securities of the Company which may at any time be
issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby for any purpose,
nor
shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder (or
any
transferee hereof) any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any
right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted for
the
approval or consent of the shareholders, or to give or withhold consent to
any
corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock,
reclassification of stock, merger or consolidation, conveyance, or otherwise)
or
to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights
or
otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.
No
provision of this Warrant, in the absence of the actual exercise of such Warrant
or any part thereof into Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, shall give
rise to any liability on the part of such Holder as a shareholder of the
Company, whether such liability shall be asserted by the Company or by creditors
of the Company.
5. Company Registration.
(a) Notice
of Registration.
If at
any time after the date of this Warrant the Company shall determine to register
any of its equity securities, either for its own account or the account of
a
security holder or holders, other than a registration relating solely to
employee benefit plans, (ii) a registration relating solely to a Rule 145
transaction, the Company will:
(a) promptly
give the Holder written notice thereof; and
-7-
(b) include
in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or
other
compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Warrant Shares
specified in a written request or requests, made within ten (10) business days
after receipt of such written notice from the Company, by the
Holder.
(b) Underwriting.
If the

offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holder
as a
part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 5. In such event the
right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 5 shall be
conditioned upon such the Holder's participation in such underwriting, including

amount of securities to be registered or any other condition reasonably
requested by the underwriter.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing
Law.
This
Warrant will be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects
by,
the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to agreements entered into, and
to
be performed entirely in such state, between residents of such
state.
(b) Dispute
Resolution.
(i) Negotiation.
In
the
event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
Warrant, representatives of the parties will meet in a location chosen by the
party initiating the negotiation not later than ten business days after written
notice from one party to the other of such dispute and will enter into good
faith negotiations aimed at resolving the dispute. If they are unable to resolve
the dispute in a mutually satisfactory manner within 30 business days from
the
date of such notice, the matter may be submitted by either party to arbitration
as provided for in Section 5(b)(ii), below.
(ii) Arbitration.
(a) Any
dispute, controversy or claim between or among any of the parties hereto arising
out of or relating to this Warrant or the breach, termination or invalidity
thereof, including any dispute as to whether any dispute is subject to
arbitration, which has not been resolved after good faith negotiations pursuant
to subsection 5(b)(i) hereof will be settled by binding arbitration
administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its
then
current Commercial Arbitration Rules except as provided herein.
-8-
(b) Any
arbitration will be conducted in a location in the metropolitan area of the
party responding to the action by a three person arbitration panel. The three
person arbitration panel will consist of one party arbitrator selected by the
Company, one party arbitrator selected by the Holder, each of whom will be
named
within ten business days of the demand for arbitration, and one neutral
arbitrator selected by the first two arbitrators. If the two party appointed
arbitrators cannot agree on the neutral arbitrator within ten business days
of
the selection of the last party appointed arbitrator, the American Arbitration
Association will appoint the neutral arbitrator, who will act as chairperson.
In
the event of a vacancy with respect to an arbitrator, the vacancy will be filled
within ten business days of notice of the vacancy in the same manner and subject
to the same requirements as are provided for in the original appointment to
that
position. If the vacancy is not filled within ten business days, the American
Arbitration Association will make the appointment.
It
is the
intent of the parties to avoid the appearance of impropriety due to bias or
partiality on the part of the neutral arbitrator. Accordingly, prior to his
or
her appointment, such neutral arbitrator will disclose to the parties and the
other members of the tribunal, any financial, fiduciary, kinship or other
relationship between the neutral arbitrator and any party or its counsel. Any
party will have the right to challenge in writing the appointment of the neutral
arbitrator on the basis of and within five days of such disclosure. In the
event
of a challenge, the American Arbitration Association will uphold or dismiss
the
challenge and its decision will be conclusive.
(c) The
law
applicable to the validity of the arbitration clause, the conduct of the
arbitration, including the resort to a court for interim relief, enforcement
of
the award or any other question of arbitration law or procedure will be the
United States' Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.
The
parties shall be entitled to engage in reasonable discovery including requests
for the production of all relevant documents and a reasonable number of
depositions. The arbitration panel shall have the sole discretion to determine
the reasonableness of any requested document production or deposition. It is
the
intent of the parties that a substantive hearing be held as soon as practicable
after the appointment of the neutral arbitrator or the rejection of a challenge
thereto, whichever occurs later. The presentation of evidence will be governed
by the federal Rules of Evidence. A stenographic record of all witness testimony
will be made.
(d) Any
award, including any interim award, made will be made by a majority of the
arbitrators applying the substantive law of Delaware and will (i) be in
writing and state the arbitration panel's findings of fact and conclusions
of
law, (ii) be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days after the
conclusion of the arbitration hearing; and (iii) be binding against the
parties involved and may be entered for enforcement in any court of competent
jurisdiction.
-9-
(e) Fifty
percent of the costs of any arbitration proceeding (e.g., arbitrators, court
reporter and room rental fees) will be borne by the Company with the remaining
50% to paid by the other party to the dispute. However, each party will pay
its
own expense, including attorneys' and other professionals' fees and
disbursements.
(f) The
arbitration provision set forth in this Section 5(b)(ii) will be a complete
defense to any suit, action or proceeding instituted in any court with respect
to any matter arbitrable under this Warrant, except that judicial intervention
may be sought in accordance with Section 5(b)(iii) hereof.
(iii) No
Waivers; Interim Relief.
The
parties mutually acknowledge that an award of damages may be inadequate to
remedy any breach hereof and that injunctive relief may be required. Therefore,
(i) a party may request a court of competent jurisdiction to provide interim
injunctive relief in aid of arbitration or to prevent a violation of this
Warrant pending arbitration, and any such request will not be deemed a waiver
or
breach of the obligations to arbitrate set forth herein and (ii) the arbitrators
may order equitable relief where they deem it appropriate and the parties agree
that any interim relief ordered by the arbitrators may be immediately and
specifically enforced by a court otherwise having jurisdiction over the
parties.
(c) Successors
and Assigns.
Subject
to the restrictions on transfer described in Section 3, the rights and
obligations of the Company and Holder of this Warrant shall be binding upon
and
benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the
parties.
(d) Waiver
and Amendment.
Any
provision of this Warrant may be amended, waived or modified upon the written
consent of the Company and the Holder.
(e) Notices. All
notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder will be in
writing and will be sent by telecopier or mailed by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, or delivered either by hand or by messenger, addressed (a) if to
the Holder, at the address indicated on the Company's books, or at such other
address and telecopier number as Holder will have furnished to the Company
in
writing, or (b) if to the Company, at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx 00000 Attn: Chief Financial Officer, or at such other address and
telecopier number as the Company will have furnished to the Holder and each
such
other holder in writing.
Each
such
notice or other communication will for all purposes of this Agreement be treated
as effective or having been given when delivered if delivered personally or
by
messenger, or, if sent by mail, at the earlier of its receipt or 72 hours after
the same has been deposited in a regularly maintained receptacle for the deposit
of the United States mail addressed and mailed as aforesaid.
-10-
(f) Severability.
In case
any provision of this Warrant will be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not
in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.
(g) Lost
Warrant.
Upon
receipt from the Holder of written notice or other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
the
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt
of
an unsecured indemnity agreement and an affidavit of lost warrant, or in the
case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrant,
the
Company, at the Company's expense, will make and deliver a new Warrant in lieu
of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant carrying the same rights
and
obligations as the original Warrant. The Company will also pay the cost of
all
deliveries of the Warrant upon any exchange thereof.

The
undersigned hereby represents and warrants to Neuralstem, Inc, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), as follows:
1. I
am
aware of the business affairs, financial condition and results of operations
of
the Company and have acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach
an informed and knowledgeable investment decision to acquire the Securities.
I
am purchasing the Securities for my own account for investment purposes only
and
not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution”
thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
2. I
understand that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities
Act
in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon,
among other things, the bona fide nature of my investment intent as expressed
herein. I understand that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if
my representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold the
Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes,
for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price
of
the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the
future.
3. I
further
understand that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration
is
otherwise available. Moreover, I understand that the Company is under no
obligation to register the Securities. In addition, I understand that the
certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which
prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such
registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the
Company.
4. I
am
familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities
Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of “restricted
securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof, in a
non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions.
5. I
agree
that, if so requested by the Company or any representative of the underwriters
(the "Managing Underwriter") in connection with any registration of the offering
of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, I shall not sell
or
otherwise transfer any of the above listed Securities or other securities of
the
Company during the 180-day period (or such other period as may be requested
in
writing by the Managing Underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company)
(the "Market Standoff Period") following the effective date of a registration
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act. Such restriction shall
apply only to the first registration statement of the Company to become
effective under the Securities Act that includes securities to be sold on behalf
of the Company to the public in an underwritten public offering under the
Securities Act. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect
to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market
Standoff Period.
6. I
further
understand that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144
are
not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with
Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and
that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of
the Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private
placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than
pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in
establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers
or
sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in
such transactions do so at their own risk.
