WHEREAS, the Holder is the holder of a Promissory Note, dated as of the date set forth on the signature page hereof and issued by the Company in the outstanding principal amount set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Note”).
WHEREAS, the Company has offered to issue shares of Common Stock of the Company and a warrant for the purchase of shares of Common Stock of the Company in exchange for the Note (the “Exchange Offer”).
WHEREAS, the Holder desires to exchange the Note for shares of Common Stock of the Company and a warrant for the purchase of shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Exchange.
1.1 The Company shall issue to the Holder, in exchange for all of the Holder’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Note, (a) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Exchange Shares”) at an effective price of two cents ($0.02) per Exchange Share and (b) a five (5) year warrant, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, for the purchase of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Warrant” and together with the Exchange Shares, the “Exchange Securities”).

2. Representations by Holder.
The Holder understands and agrees that the Company is relying and may rely upon the following representations, warranties, acknowledgements, consents, confirmations and covenants made by the Holder in entering into this Agreement:
2.1 The Holder recognizes that the acquisition of the Exchange Securities and, in the event of the exercise of the Warrant, the Warrant Shares involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for persons of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity with respect to the Securities in that (a) the Holder may not be able to liquidate the Securities in the event of emergency; (b) transferability is extremely limited; and (c) the Holder could sustain a complete loss of its investment.
2.2 The Holder represents and warrants that it (a) is competent to understand and does understand the nature of the Exchange Offer; and (b) is able to bear the economic risk of an acquisition of the Exchange Securities.
2.3 The Holder represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Holder meets the requirements of at least one of the suitability standards for an “accredited investor” as set forth on the Accredited Investor Certification contained herein.
2.4 The Holder represents and warrants that it has significant prior investment experience, including investment in restricted securities, and that it has read this Agreement and the Warrant in order to evaluate the merits and risks of the Exchange Offer.
2.5 The Holder represents and warrants that it has reviewed all reports, statements and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “SEC Reports”), including, the risk factors set forth therein. The Holder also represents and warrants that it has been furnished by the Company with all information regarding the Company which it had requested or desired to know; that all documents which could be reasonably provided have been made available for its inspection and review; that it has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, and any additional information which it had requested; and that it has had the opportunity to consult with its own tax or financial advisor concerning an acquisition of the Securities. The Holder confirms that no oral representations have been made or oral information furnished to the Holder or its advisers in connection with the Exchange Offer that are inconsistent in any respect with the SEC Reports, this Agreement or the Warrant.
2.6 The Holder acknowledges that this Exchange Offer has not been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) because it is intended to be either (a) a non-public offering pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder or (b) exempt from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereof. The Holder represents that the Securities are and will be being acquired for its own account, for investment and not for distribution to others. The Holder agrees that it will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities, or any portion thereof, unless they are registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
| 2 |
2.7 The Holder consents that the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Securities by the Holder out of its name only when its request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the Act or any applicable state “blue sky” laws (collectively, “Securities Laws”). The Holder agrees to be bound by any requirements of such Securities Laws.
2.8 The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Company is relying on the Holder’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement in determining whether to enter into this Agreement.
2.9 The Holder consents to the placement of a legend on the Securities stating that they have not been registered under the Act and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof. The Holder is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of the Securities.
2.10 The Holder represents and warrants that the address set forth on the signature page is the Holder’s true and correct address.
2.11 The Holder represents and warrants that it is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of, the Exchange Offer through, or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, without limitation, articles, notices, advertisements or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or other similar media or broadcast over television or radio or any seminar or meeting where the attendees have been invited by any such means of general solicitation or advertising.
2.12 The Holder represents and warrants as follows:
(i) if a natural person, the Holder represents and warrants that he has reached the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof;
(ii) if a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, the Holder represents and warrants that it was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Exchange Securities, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of, its charter or other organizational documents, it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to acquire and hold the Securities, the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Holder and this Agreement a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Holder; and

2.13 The Holder represents and warrants that the execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or other document to which the Holder is a party or by which it is bound.
2.14 NEITHER THE SHARES, NOR THE WARRANT NOR THE WARRANT SHARES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE SHARES, THE WARRANT AND THE WARRANT SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. NEITHER THE SHARES, NOR THE WARRANT NOR THE WARRANT SHARES HAVE BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE SEC REPORTS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
2.15 The Holder acknowledges that this Exchange Offer is being made to other noteholders of the Company.

Warrant
| _________ Shares | ____________, 2012 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BIORESTORATIVE THERAPIES, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that ________________________________ (the “Holder”) is entitled, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, to purchase from the Company up to ____________________________ (________) SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, $.001 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a price of THREE CENTS ($0.03) per share (the “Exercise Price”) during the period commencing on the date hereof and terminating at 5:00 P.M. on the fifth anniversary of the date hereof.
The number of Common Shares to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth. The Common Shares deliverable upon such exercise, and as adjusted from time to time, are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Warrant Stock.”
The Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant is issued, and all the rights hereunder shall be held subject to, all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.
1. Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised by its presentation and surrender to the Company at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 (or such office or agency of the Company as it may designate in writing to the Holder hereof) with the Warrant Exercise Form attached hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment (either in cash or by official bank check, payable to the order of the Company) of the Exercise Price for the number of shares specified in such Form. The Company agrees that the Holder hereof shall be deemed the record owner of such Common Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been presented and payment made for such Common Shares as aforesaid whether or not the Company or its transfer agent is open for business. Certificates for the Common Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder hereof to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder.
2. Registered Owner. The Company may consider and treat the person in whose name this Warrant shall be registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes whatsoever and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Subject to the provisions hereof, the registered owner of this Warrant shall have the right to transfer it by assignment and the transferee thereof, upon his registration as owner of this Warrant, shall become vested with all the powers and rights of the transferor. Registration of any new owner shall take place upon presentation of this Warrant to the Company at its offices together with the Warrant Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed. In case of transfers by operation of law, the transferee shall notify the Company of such transfer and of his address, and shall submit appropriate evidence regarding the transfer so that this Warrant may be registered in the name of the transferee. This Warrant is transferable only on the books of the Company by the Holder on the surrender hereof, duly endorsed. Communications sent to any registered owner shall be effective as against all holders or transferees of this Warrant not registered at the time of sending the communication.
3. Reservation of Shares. During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company shall, at all times, reserve and keep available out of its authorized capital stock, solely for the purposes of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, such number of its Common Shares as shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and if at any time the number of authorized Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose; the Company shall have analogous obligations with respect to any other securities or property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
4. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of Common Shares, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the Company and the Holder that all fractional interests shall be eliminated.
5. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any voting or other rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant.
6. Anti-Dilution Provisions.
6.1 Adjustments for Stock Dividends; Combinations, Etc. (a) In case the Company shall do any of the following (an “Event”):
(i) declare a dividend or other distribution on its Common Shares payable in Common Shares of the Company,
(ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares pursuant to a stock split or otherwise,
(iii) combine the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares pursuant to a reverse split or otherwise, or
(iv) reclassify its Common Shares,
then the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or other distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be changed to a price determined by dividing (a) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Event, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Event by (b) the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such Event. Each such adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any Event listed above shall occur.
(b) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as set forth in Section 6.1 (whether or not the Company then or thereafter elects to issue additional Warrants in substitution for an adjustment in the number of shares of Warrant Stock), the number of shares of Warrant Stock specified in each Warrant which the Holder may purchase shall be adjusted, to the nearest full share, by multiplying such number of shares of Warrant Stock immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator shall be the Exercise Price immediately thereafter.
6.2 Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In case of any reorganization of the Company (or any other entity, the securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of this Warrant) after the date hereof or in case after such date the Company (or any such other entity) shall consolidate with or merge with or into another entity, then, and in each such case, the Holder of this Warrant upon the exercise thereof as provided in Section l at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 6.l; in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
7. Investment Intent. Unless, prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the issuance of the Warrant Stock has been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Act, the Warrant Exercise Form shall be accompanied by the Investment Representation Letter attached hereto, duly executed by the Holder.
8. Restrictions on Transfer; Registration Rights.
8.1 Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act of 1933. Neither this Warrant nor any Warrant Stock may be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of except as follows: (1) to a person who, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, is a person to whom this Warrant or the Warrant Stock may legally be transferred without registration and without the delivery of a current prospectus under the Act with respect thereto and then only against receipt of an agreement of such person to comply with the provisions of this Section 8 with respect to any resale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of such securities; or (2) to any person upon delivery of a prospectus then meeting the requirements of the Act relating to such securities and the offering thereof for such sale, assignment, transfer or disposition.
8.2 Legend. Subject to the terms hereof, upon exercise of this Warrant and the issuance of the Warrant Stock, all certificates representing such Warrant Stock shall bear on the face or reverse thereof substantially the following legend:
“The securities which are represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and may not be sold, transferred, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of until a registration statement with respect thereto is declared effective under such act, or the Company receives an opinion of counsel for the Company that an exemption from the registration requirements of such act is available.”
8.3 Registration Rights. The Holder shall have certain registration rights with respect to the resale of the Warrant Stock as set forth in that certain Exchange Agreement of even date between the Company and the Holder.
9. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Warrant. In the event that the Holder notifies the Company that this Warrant has been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides (a) a letter, in form satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that it will indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith, and/or (b) an indemnity bond in such amount as is reasonably required by the Company, the Company having the option of electing either (a) or (b) or both, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accept such letter and/or indemnity bond in lieu of the surrender of this Warrant as required by Section 1 hereof.
10. Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or overnight mail or courier and, if given by the Holder addressed to the Company at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, or such other address as the Company may designate in writing to the Holder; and if given by the Company, addressed to the Holder at the address of the Holder shown on the books of the Company.
11. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Warrant is issued under, and shall for all purposes be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada, excluding choice of law principles thereof. The Company and, by its acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder hereby irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within Nassau County, New York over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Warrant and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any legal action related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts.
