(a)
|

an agent with due and proper authority to execute this Subscription
Agreement and all other documentation in connection with the purchase of
the Purchased Units on behalf of the beneficial purchaser and this
Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
or on behalf of, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of,
the disclosed principal;
|
9
(c)
|
in
the case of the subscription by the Purchaser of Units as trustee or as
agent for a principal which is undisclosed or identified by account number
only, this Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of, the
undersigned acting in such
capacity;
|
(d)
|
if
the Purchaser is a corporation, the Purchaser is a valid and subsisting
corporation, has the necessary corporate capacity and authority to execute
and deliver this Subscription Agreement and to observe and perform its
covenants and obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate
action in respect thereof or, if the Purchaser is a partnership, syndicate
or other form of unincorporated organization, the Purchaser has the
necessary legal capacity and authority to execute and deliver this
Subscription Agreement and to observe and perform its covenants and
obligations hereunder and has obtained all necessary approval in respect
thereof and, in either case, upon execution by the Corporation, this
Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding contract of
the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its
respective terms;
|
(e)
|
if
the Purchaser is an individual, the Purchaser has attained the age of
majority and is legally competent to execute this Subscription Agreement
and to take all actions required pursuant
hereto;
|
(f)
|
if
the Purchaser is a US Person within the meaning of Rule 902(o) of
Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (“US Person”),
the Purchaser (1) has read carefully the definition of “Accredited
Investor” contained in Schedule 1 attached hereto and (2) meets the
standards of an “Accredited Investor” set forth under Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D under the Act and has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that the Investor is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of an investment in the Corporation’s securities. The
Purchaser will promptly notify the Corporation in the event that prior to
the issuance of any securities to the Purchaser the foregoing
representation ceases to be
accurate.
|
(g)
|
if
the Purchaser is not a US Person, the Purchaser makes the representations
and warranties set forth on Schedule 2
hereto.
|
(h)
|
if
required by applicable securities legislation, policy or order of a
securities regulatory authority or other regulatory authority, the
Purchaser will execute, deliver, file and otherwise assist the Corporation
in filing such reports and other documents with respect to the issue of
the Purchased Units (or the underlying securities) as may be reasonably
required;
|
10
(i)
|
the
Purchaser has had access to the Corporation’s public filings with the SEC
(which are accessible via the SEC’s XXXXX Archives located on the internet
at xxx.xxx.xxx)
and has had an opportunity to conduct due diligence and to ask and have
answered questions of the Corporation’s management. The Purchaser
acknowledges the existence of the Rights Plan, as described in detail in
the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 27,
2008, which includes a 15% trigger level for determining a shareholder’s
status as an “Acquiring Person,” and the potential for significant
dilution to the Purchaser’s equity stake in the Corporation should the
Purchaser be deemed an “Acquiring
Person”;
|
(j)
|
the
Purchaser is capable of assessing the proposed investment as a result of
the Purchaser’s financial or investment experience or as a result of
advice received from a registered person other than the Corporation or an
affiliate thereof, and is able to bear the economic loss of its
investment. The Purchaser recognizes that its purchase of
Purchased Units involves a high degree of risk in that: (i) the
Corporation has incurred losses since inception; at June 30, 2009, the
Corporation had an accumulated deficit of approximately $59,316,000
(unaudited); and the Corporation may require substantial funds in addition
to the proceeds of this Offering to continue its plan of operations;
(ii) an investment in the Corporation is highly speculative and only
investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should
consider investing in the Corporation and the Purchased Units (and the
underlying securities); (iii) the Purchaser may not be able to
liquidate the Purchaser’s investment; and (iv) transferability of the
securities comprising the Purchased Units (and the underlying securities
including any shares of Common Stock issued on, or resulting from, the
exercise of the Warrants) is extremely limited. The Purchaser
has read the Risk Factors section of the Corporation’s Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2008;
|
(k)
|
the
Purchaser is aware of the restrictions with respect to trading in the
Units (and the underlying securities including any shares of Common Stock
issued on, or resulting from, the exercise of the Warrants) imposed by
applicable securities laws and confirms that no representation has been
made respecting the restrictions with respect to trading the Units and the
Purchaser further covenants that it will not resell the Units (or the
underlying securities) except in accordance with provisions of applicable
securities laws;
|
(l)
|
the
address of the Purchaser (or others for whom the Purchaser is contracting
hereunder) furnished by the Purchaser on the Purchaser’s signature page of
this Subscription Agreement is such person’s principal residence if such

respect of proceeds raised by the Agent, as more particularly described and
subject to the exclusions contained in the Agency Agreement. No other fee or
commission is payable by the Corporation in connection with the sale of the
Purchased Units. However, the Corporation will also pay on the

officer of the Agent.

TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
___________
Shares of Common Stock
THIS
CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, [insert
name] (the “Warrantholder”) with an address at [insert address],is the
registered holder of this Warrant and is entitled to subscribe for and purchase
from SyntheMed, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), at any time after the date hereof and
before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on, September 30, 2013 (the “Time of
Expiry”), up to _______________ fully paid and non-assessable shares of common
stock of the Corporation (“Shares”) par value $.001 (US) per Share of the
Corporation at an exercise price of $0.20 (US) per Share, subject to adjustment
as provided below (the “Exercise Price”).
This
Warrant is subject to the provisions of a subscription agreement entered into
with the original warrantholder in connection with the offering referred to in
Section 1 below (the “Subscription Agreement”), and the following provisions,
terms and conditions:
1.
|
Designation
|
This
warrant certificate is one of a series of warrant certificates (collectively,
the “Warrants”) issued pursuant to an offering by the Corporation of up to
10,000,000 units, each consisting of one Share and one Warrant to purchase one
Share for US$0.20. As of the date of original issuance of this
Warrant, an aggregate of _______ units have been sold in the offering (including
the units of which this Warrant forms a part).
2.
|
Exercise
of Warrant
|
|
(a)
|
Election to
Purchase. This Warrant may be exercised by the
Warrantholder prior to the Time of Expiry in whole or in part and in
accordance with the provisions hereof by delivery of an Election to
Purchase in a form substantially the same as that attached hereto as Annex
“A”, properly completed and executed, together with this Warrant and
payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares as to which this
Warrant is being exercised as specified in the Election to Purchase to the
Corporation at 200 Middlesex Essex Turnpike, Suite 210, Iselin, New Jersey
08830, U.S.A., Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, or such other
address as may be notified in writing by the Corporation. Payment shall be
made in U.S. dollars by wire transfer or certified or bank cashier’s
cheque payable to the order of the Corporation or by means of a cashless
exercise pursuant to Section 2(b)
below.
|
|
(b)
|
Cashless
Exercise. If at any time after
six months from the date of issuance of this Warrant (i) there is no
effective registration statement registering the resale of the underlying
Shares by the Holder and (ii) the underlying Shares are listed on a US
stock exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, this Warrant may also
be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the
Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Shares
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A),
where:
|
|
(A)
= the closing price per Share on the last trading day prior to the date
of exercise;
|
|
(B)
= the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted;
and
|
|
(X)
= the number of Shares for which this Warrant is being
exercised.
|
|
Upon
any such exercise, and in satisfaction of payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price, this Warrant shall be automatically cancelled with respect
to that number of Shares as is equal in value to the aggregate Exercise
Price, calculated as the quotient obtained by dividing [(B)(X)] by
(A).
|
- 2
-
|
(c)
|
Exercise. The
Corporation shall, promptly following the date it receives a duly executed
Election to Purchase, this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price for
the number of Shares specified in the Election to Purchase (the “Exercise
Date”), issue or cause to be issued that number of Shares specified in the
Election to Purchase as fully paid and non-assessable
Shares. Such duly executed Election to Purchase shall
constitute the Warrantholder’s acknowledgement of and undertaking to
comply to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation and its counsel,
with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies of every stock
exchange upon which the Shares of the Corporation may from time to time be
listed or traded, and any other applicable governmental or regulatory
authorities.
|
|
(d)
|
Share
Certificates. As promptly as practicable after the
Exercise Date (and in any event not later than 10 days after the Exercise
Date), the Corporation shall send to the Warrantholder, registered in such
name or names as the Warrantholder may direct or if no such direction has
been given, in the name of the Warrantholder, a certificate or
certificates for the number of Shares specified in the Election to
Purchase. To the extent permitted by law, such exercise shall be deemed to
have been effected as of the close of business on the Exercise Date, and
at such time the rights of the Warrantholder with respect to the portion
of the Warrant exercised shall cease, and the person or persons in whose
name or names any certificate or certificates for Shares shall then be
issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to have become the holder or
holders of record of the Shares represented
thereby.
|
|
(e)
|
Fractional
Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon
exercise of this Warrant and no payments or adjustment shall be made upon
any exercise on account of any cash dividends on the Shares issued upon
such exercise. If any fractional interest in a Share would,
except for the provisions of the first sentence of this subsection 2(e),
be deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the number of Shares to
be issued to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
rounded to the nearest whole
number.
|
|
(f)
|
Subscription for Less
than Entitlement. The Warrantholder may from time to
time subscribe for and purchase a number of Shares less than the aggregate
number which the holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to this
Warrant. In the event of a purchase of a number of Shares less
than the aggregate number which may be purchased pursuant to this Warrant,
the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, without charge, a new
Warrant certificate in respect of the balance of the Shares subject to
this Warrant which were not purchased by the
Warrantholder.
|
|
(g)
|
Corporate
Changes. If the Corporation shall be a party to any
reorganization, merger, dissolution or sale of all or substantially all of
its assets (the “Event”), (other than a reorganization or merger in which
the Corporation is the surviving entity) then the securities purchasable
hereunder shall be the securities (the “Event Securities”) which the
Warrantholder would have received or been entitled to receive in such
Event if such Warrantholder had fully exercised this Warrant prior to the
record date (or if there was no record date, then prior to the effective
date) of such Event, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be the
amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to the Event by the number of Shares as to which this Warrant was
unexercised immediately prior to the Event, and dividing the product
thereof by the number of Event Securities; provided however, that the
Event shall not be carried into effect unless all necessary steps have
been taken to ensure that any surviving entity is subject to the terms of
this Warrant as adjusted.
|
- 3
-
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding paragraph, in
the event of a transaction contemplated by such paragraph in which the surviving
or purchasing corporation demands that all outstanding Warrants be extinguished
prior to the closing date of the contemplated transaction, the Corporation shall
give prior notice (the “Merger Notice”) thereof to the Warrantholders advising
them of such transaction. The Warrantholders shall have 10 days after the date
of the Merger Notice to elect to (i) exercise the Warrants in the manner
provided herein, or (ii) receive from the surviving or purchasing corporation
the same consideration receivable by a holder of the number of Shares for which
this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation,
merger, sale, or purchase reduced by such amount of the consideration as has a
market value equal to the Exercise Price, as determined by the board of
directors of the Corporation in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. If
any Warrantholder fails to timely notify the Corporation of its election, the
Warrantholder shall be deemed for all purposes to have elected the option set
forth in (ii) above. Any amounts receivable by a Warrantholder who has elected
the option set forth in (ii) above shall be payable at the same time as amounts
payable to stockholders in connection with any such transaction.
|
(h)
|
Subdivision or
Consolidation of Shares
|
|
(i)
|
In
the event the Corporation shall subdivide its outstanding Shares into a
greater number of Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in
the event the outstanding Shares of the Corporation shall be consolidated
into a smaller number of Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such consolidation shall be proportionately
increased.
|
|
(ii)
|
Upon
each adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided herein, the
Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to acquire, at the Exercise
Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Shares (calculated to
the nearest tenth of a Share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Shares
which may be acquired hereunder immediately prior to such adjustment and
dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment.
|
|
(i)
|
Change or
Reclassification of Shares. In the event the Corporation
shall change or reclassify its outstanding Shares into a different class
of securities, this Warrant shall be adjusted as follows so as to apply to
the successor class of securities:
|
|
(i)
|
the
number and kind of the successor class of securities which the
Warrantholder shall be entitled to acquire shall be the aggregate number
and kind of securities which, if this Warrant had been exercised
immediately prior to such change or reclassification, the Warrantholder
would have been entitled to receive by reason of such change or
reclassification; and
|
- 4
-
|
(ii)
|
the
Exercise Price shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to the change or reclassification by the number
of Shares as to which this Warrant was unexercised immediately prior to
the change or reclassification, and dividing the product thereof by the
number of the successor class of securities determined in paragraph
2(i)(i) hereof.
|
|
(j)
|
Distribution to
Shareholders. If and whenever at any time prior to the
Time of Expiry the Corporation shall fix a record date or if a date is
otherwise established (any such date being hereinafter referred to in this
subsection 2(j) as the “record date”) for the issuance of rights, options
or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of the outstanding
Shares of the Corporation entitling them, for a period expiring not more
than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Shares
of the Corporation or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Shares at a price per share or, as the case may be, having a conversion or
exchange price per share less than 95% of the Fair Market Value (as
hereinafter defined) on such record date, the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the
price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such
record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total
number of Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number equal to
the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number
of additional Shares offered for subscription or purchase or, as the case
may be, the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or
exchangeable securities so offered by the Fair Market Value, and of which
the denominator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such
record date plus the total number of additional Shares so offered (or into
which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are
convertible or exchangeable); Shares owned by or held for the account of
the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation shall be deemed not
to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; to the
extent that any rights or warrants are not so issued or any such rights or
warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise
Price shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be
in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exercise Price
which would then be in effect based upon the number of Shares or
conversion or exchange rights contained in convertible or exchangeable
securities actually issued upon the exercise of such rights or warrants,
as the case may be.
|
|
(k)
|
Additional
Subscriptions. If at any time the Corporation grants to
its shareholders the right to subscribe for and purchase pro rata
additional securities of the Corporation (other than securities described
in subsection (2)(j) hereof) or of any other corporation or entity, there
shall be no adjustments made to the number of Shares or other securities
subject to this Warrant or to the Exercise Price in consequence thereof
and this Warrant shall remain
unaffected.
|
|
(l)
|
Carry Over of
Adjustments. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall
be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than 1% of the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the event giving rise to the
adjustment, provided however, that in such case any adjustment that would
otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall
be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment
which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to at
least 1% of the Exercise Price in effect prior to such
adjustment.
|
- 5
-
|
(m)
|
Notice of
Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the number of Shares
and upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then and in each such case
the Corporation shall give written notice thereof to the Warrantholder,
which notice shall state the Exercise Price and the number of Shares or
other securities into which each Warrant is exercisable resulting from
such adjustment, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is
based. Upon the request of a Warrantholder there shall be
transmitted promptly to all Warrantholders a statement prepared by the
firm of independent certified public accountants retained to audit the
financial statements of the Corporation to the effect that such firm
concurs in the Corporation’s calculation of the
change.
|
|
(n)
|
Other
Notices. If at any
time:
|
|
(i)
|
the
Corporation shall declare any dividend upon its
Shares;
|
|
(ii)
|
the
Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its
Shares any additional shares of any class or other
rights;
|
|
(iii)
|
there
shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital
stock of the Corporation, or consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the
Corporation with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to,
another corporation; or
|
|
(iv)
|
there
shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Corporation,
|
then, in
any one or more of such cases, the Corporation shall give to the Warrantholder
(A) at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall
be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for
determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up and (B) in the case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up, at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same
shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause
shall also specify (1) in the case of any such dividend, distribution or
subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Shares shall be entitled
thereto, and (2) in the case of any transaction described in the foregoing
clauses (iii) and (iv), the date on which the holders of Shares are to be
entitled to exchange their Shares for securities or other property deliverable
upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation,
sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be.
|
(o)
|
Shares to be
Reserved. The Corporation will at all times keep
available and reserve out of its authorized Shares, solely for the purpose
of issue upon the exercise of this Warrant, such number of Shares as shall
then be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The
Corporation covenants and agrees that all Shares which shall be so
issuable will, upon issuance, be duly authorized and issued, fully paid
and non-assessable. The Corporation will take all such action
as may be necessary to assure that all such Shares may be so issued
without violation of any applicable requirements of any stock exchange
upon which the Shares of the Corporation may be listed or in respect of
which the Shares are qualified for unlisted trading
privileges. The Corporation will take all such action as is
within its power to assure that all such Shares may be so issued without
violation of any applicable law.

|
(p)
|
Issue
Tax. The issuance of certificates for Shares upon the

stock exchange or similar securities market upon which the Shares are
listed or quoted, as the case may be; or (ii) if the computation is being
