Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement .

On February 13, 2012, R&R Acquisition VI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ParentCo” or the “Registrant”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among ParentCo, ADMA Biologics, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation (“Former ADMA”), and ADMA Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo (“Acquisition Sub”).  Upon the closing of the merger transaction contemplated under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), Acquisition Sub was merged with and into Former ADMA, and Former ADMA, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo.  ParentCo’s corporate name was changed to ADMA Biologics, Inc. and the name of Former ADMA was changed to ADMA Plasma Biologics, Inc.

The Merger Agreement and the Merger are described in Item 2.01 below, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

Prior to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement with Former ADMA, there were no material relationships between ParentCo and Former ADMA, or any of their respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of their respective directors or officers.

Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The Merger

On February 13, 2012, ParentCo entered into the Merger Agreement with Former ADMA and Acquisition Sub.  Upon closing of the Merger, Acquisition Sub was merged with and into Former ADMA, and Former ADMA, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo.  ParentCo’s corporate name was changed to ADMA Biologics, Inc. and the name of Former ADMA was changed to ADMA Plasma Biologics, Inc.

In connection with the Merger and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement:

- all of the then issued and outstanding shares of Former ADMA’s common stock, including the common stock issued in the PIPE (as defined below under "Pipe Transaction") and including the shares of Former ADMA’s Series A preferred stock, which were converted into common stock immediately prior to and as part of the Merger, were automatically exchanged into 4,601,270 shares of common stock of ParentCo, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a 1:1 exchange ratio;
 
 
3

 
 
- all warrants, options and other rights to purchase or acquire shares of Former ADMA’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, including the Placement Agent Warrants (as defined below) and including the additional options granted to Adam S. Grossman under his new employment agreement, were converted into warrants, options or other rights, as the case may be, to purchase an aggregate of 383,380 shares of Common Stock at the same exercise prices; and

- 2,446,967 of the 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock held by the stockholders of ParentCo immediately prior to the Merger were canceled such that these stockholders now hold 53,033 shares of Common Stock, not including the 87,865 shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants, held by an affiliate of one of such stockholders.
 
Immediately prior to the Merger and the transactions described above, (i) 3,386,454 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Former ADMA were converted into 11,243,748 shares of Former ADMA’s common stock after giving effect to cumulative anti-dilution adjustments and accrued dividends, and 4,835,224 shares of Former ADMA’s Series A Preferred Stock issued in December 2011 upon the conversion of convertible notes were converted into an equal number of shares of Former ADMA’s common stock and (ii) the shares of common stock of Former ADMA were reverse split at a ratio of 1-for-6.8 (the “Reverse Split”).
 
As part of the Merger, ParentCo assumed certain of Former ADMA’s obligations under an investors’ rights agreement, dated July 17, 2007, by and among Former ADMA and its shareholders (the “Investors’ Rights Agreement”), assumed Former ADMA’s obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined under “- Recent Financings - PIPE Transaction” below), and assumed Former ADMA’s 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan.
 
The Merger Agreement, Investors’ Rights Agreement and 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan are filed as Exhibit 2.1, 10.7 and 10.1, respectively, to this Report and are incorporated herein by reference. The description of such documents and the transactions contemplated thereby contained in this section does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of such documents.

Change in Management

In connection with the Merger, ParentCo’s board of directors was reconstituted by the resignation of Mr. Arnold P. Kling from his role as sole director of ParentCo and the appointment of Steven A. Elms, Dov A. Goldstein, Jerrold B. Grossman, Adam S. Grossman, Eric I. Richman and Bryant E. Fong as directors (all of whom except for Mr. Fong were directors of Former ADMA immediately prior to the Merger).  Bryant Fong is the designee of Burrill Capital Fund IV, LP (“Burrill”), Steven Elms is the designee of Aisling Capital II, LP (“Aisling”) and Dr. Jerrold B. Grossman is the designee of Jerrold and Adam Grossman and their related entities (the “Grossman Group”). Burrill, Aisling and the Grossman Group were the lead investors (the “Lead Investors”) in the PIPE, as defined below.  Each of the Lead Investors is entitled to designate one nominee to the ParentCo board of directors for as long as it owns 50% of the shares of Common Stock that it received in the Merger in exchange for the shares of common stock that it owned immediately following the closing of the PIPE.  ParentCo’s executive management team was also reconstituted following the resignation of Mr. Kling as ParentCo’s president and Mr. Kirk M. Warshaw as ParentCo’s chief financial officer and secretary, and Adam S. Grossman was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of ParentCo. See “ Directors and Executive Officers.

Change of Control

Immediately after the closing of, and giving effect to, the Merger, the holders of Former ADMA’s common stock, including the investors in the PIPE, held approximately 97% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, on a fully-diluted basis, while the stockholders of ParentCo immediately prior to the Merger, including the placement agent in the PIPE (who is an affiliate of one of such stockholders) held approximately 3%.  Accordingly, the Merger represents a change of control.

Accounting Treatment

For accounting purposes, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with Former ADMA as the accounting acquiror (legal acquiree) and ParentCo as the accounting acquiree (legal acquiror). Consequently, the historical financial information of Former ADMA will become the historical financial information of ParentCo.
 
Tax Treatment

It is intended that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  It is not expected that the Merger will result in any federal income tax consequences to our stockholders.

As required by IRS Circular 230, we inform you the foregoing was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used by any taxpayer, for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer, but is merely intended as a general guide to the intended tax consequences of the Merger.  Each investor should seek advice based on the investor’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

Line of Business; Fiscal Year

As a result of the Merger, Former ADMA will continue its historical business as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo.  ParentCo has relocated its executive offices to 65 Commerce Way, Hackensack, NJ 07601 and its telephone number is ( 201) 478-5552 .

ParentCo furthermore intends to adopt the fiscal year of Former ADMA, which ends December 31.

Smaller Reporting Company

Following the Merger, ParentCo continues to be a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

OTC Bulletin Board

Under the Merger Agreement, ParentCo is obligated to qualify the shares of Common Stock for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board® electronic trading system (“OTCBB”).  However, it cannot assure you when such shares will qualify for quotation on the OTCBB or any other electronic trading market, if ever, or, if they do, that there will be any active trading market for such shares.

Recent Financings

Note Financings

Convertible Notes

In 2009, 2010 and 2011, Former ADMA issued senior secured convertible promissory notes to significant stockholders, as further detailed in the table below.  The notes provided that the outstanding principal and interest under the notes would be due and payable upon the earliest to occur of:  (i) December 31, 2011 (as extended by amendment); (ii) the date on which the Company would consummate a preferred stock financing in which the gross proceeds to the Company totaled at least $10,000,000 (“Qualified Financing”); and (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the notes), the first of these three events to occur referred to as the “Maturity Date.”  Interest accrued on the outstanding principal at the rate stated  in the table below and was payable on the Maturity Date.  The notes provided that in the Qualified Financing, the unpaid principal and accrued interest on the notes would automatically convert into the preferred stock issued in such Qualified Financing at a price per share equal to the lesser of (A) the price per share paid by the investors in the Qualified Financing or (B) the conversion price listed in the table below.

The notes also provided that any principal and accrued interest thereon that remained outstanding would convert into shares of preferred stock (Series A-1 or Series A-2) at the stated conversion price if immediately prior to the Maturity Date, a Qualified Financing had not occurred and Former ADMA did not have sufficient cash on hand to repay the outstanding balance in full.  The Series A-1 and A-2 Preferred Stock would have had the same rights and privileges as Former ADMA’s Series A Preferred Stock (except for the conversion price) and would have been senior to the Series A Preferred Stock in liquidation preference.  If the principal amounts due under these notes had been repaid on the Maturity Date, the payees would have had the option to convert all of the accrued interest into shares of Series A Preferred Stock determined by dividing the interest by the conversion price.
 
In an Event of a Default, the interest rate stated on the notes would have been increased by three percent (3%) per annum. The notes were collateralized by all of the assets of Former ADMA.

The notes issued in June and December 2010 and in 2011 contained a provision stating that immediately prior to a deemed liquidation event,  if such notes had not been repaid or converted, at the option of Aisling Capital II, L.P., the notes would needed to have been repaid in cash or converted into Series A-2 Preferred Stock.  The December 2010 and the 2011 notes furthermore stated that they would be repaid prior to the Maturity Date upon (i) Former ADMA’s sale of its net operating losses or (ii) a change of control (as defined in the notes).

In December 2011, all then-outstanding senior secured convertible promissory notes were converted into 4,835,224 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with their terms.  No such notes remain outstanding.

Non-Convertible Notes

In 2011, Former ADMA issued senior secured promissory notes to significant stockholders, as further detailed in the table below.  The notes stated that the outstanding principal and interest under them would be due and payable upon the earliest of (such date is referred to as the “Maturity Date”) (i) December 31, 2011 (extended by amendment to March 31, 2012 with respect to $250,000 in aggregate principal amount of such notes); or (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the notes).  Interest accrued on the outstanding principal at the rate stated below and was payable on the Maturity Date. In an Event of a Default, the interest rate stated on the notes would have been increased by three percent (3%) per annum. The notes were collateralized by all of the assets of Former ADMA.

The notes also stated that they would be repaid prior to the Maturity Date upon (i) the receipt by Former ADMA of funds from the sale of plasma inventory of Former ADMA or its subsidiary; (ii) Former ADMA’s sale of any of its securities in a public offering or (ii) a Change of Control (as defined in the notes).

Senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 were repaid prior to the Merger.  Senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (plus $12,740 in accrued interest) were invested in the PIPE by the holders of the notes in exchange for shares of Former ADMA’s common stock.  No such notes remain outstanding.

Warrants

In connection with the issuance of certain of the above notes, Former ADMA issued common stock purchase warrants expiring ten years from the date of issue to existing common and preferred stockholders at an exercise price of $.07 per share. Such warrants vested immediately and could be exercised at any time up to the expiration date.  The warrants have been exercised for shares of Former ADMA common stock prior to the Merger.

Interest in the amount of $1,225,474 and $650,301 had been accrued on these notes as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The issuance and sale of the above notes was made pursuant to privately negotiated transactions that did not involve a public offering of securities and, accordingly, was were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and the rules promulgated thereunder.

PIPE Transaction

In connection with, and immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, Former ADMA completed a private placement (the “PIPE”) of 1,828,128 shares of Former ADMA’s common stock at a price per share of $9.60 to accredited investors, for gross proceeds to ADMA of $17,550,029 pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).    In lieu of repayment of senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (plus $12,740 in accrued interest), the aggregate amount of unpaid principal and interest on the notes was invested by the holders of such notes in the PIPE in exchange for shares of Former ADMA’s common stock, as described in further detail under “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.”  The net cash proceeds from the PIPE, after the payment of all expenses related to the PIPE and the Merger, including legal, accounting, printing, travel, the Placement Agent’s cash fee and expense reimbursement and miscellaneous, are approximately $15.2 million, not including in such proceeds the senior secured promissory notes that were satisfied in exchange for shares of Former ADMA’s common stock in the PIPE.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, for a period ending on the earlier to occur of (a) 18 months following the closing of the PIPE or (b) such date that ParentCo has sold in one or more transactions (other than exempt issuances as defined in the agreement) securities having an aggregate purchase price of at least $5 million, if ParentCo sells any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents for a price less than $9.60 (a “Dilutive Issuance”), each PIPE investor will be given the right to subscribe, for $0.01 per share, for such number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the total subscription amount paid by the investor in the PIPE divided by the price per share of Common Stock paid (or payable per share of Common Stock in the case of Common Stock equivalents) by investors in connection with the Dilutive Issuance, less (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock purchased by such investor at the closing of the PIPE and any such additional shares of Common Stock acquired under this right. ParentCo must use commercially reasonable efforts to complete a financing transaction pursuant to which it would sell Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents resulting in gross proceeds of at least $5 million within 18 months of the closing of the PIPE (the “First Follow-On Financing”).
 
Burrill, Aisling, and Jerrold and Adam Grossman and their related entities (the “Grossman Group”), which we collectively refer to as the “Lead Investors,” purchased 885,417, 458,334 and 114,584 shares of Former ADMA’s common stock, respectively, for approximately $8,500,000, $4,400,000 and $1,100,000, respectively.   $262,740 in consideration paid by Aisling and the Grossman Group was in the form of secured promissory notes in lieu of cash.  Former ADMA has agreed to reimburse the Lead Investors for their reasonable costs (including legal fees and expenses) up to a maximum of $70,000.   The Lead Investors, and Former ADMA’s officers and directors, agreed not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of their Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock for a period of 180 days following the closing of the PIPE.  In addition, with respect to any Lead Investor, until such time that such Lead Investor owns less than 50% of the shares of Common Stock that it received in the Merger in exchange for the shares of common stock that it owned immediately following the closing of the PIPE, if ADMA proposes to offer any shares of its equity securities, or securities or debentures exchangeable for or convertible into additional shares of its equity securities for the purpose of financing its business (other than shares issued to employees, directors and consultants in the form of stock or options, shares issued upon exercise, exchange or conversion of any securities issued in the PIPE or outstanding as of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, shares issued pursuant to strategic agreements, shares offered to the public pursuant to an underwritten public offering, or other customary exclusions), the Company will offer such Lead Investor the right to participate in any such offering on the same terms and conditions otherwise available to investors therein, to the extent of an amount at least equal to their beneficial ownership percentage at the time of such offer.
 
In the event ParentCo is unable to raise at least $5 million in the First Follow-On Financing, then Burrill, Aisling and the Grossman Group will subscribe to purchase $1.5 million, $2.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which amounts will decline proportionately if ParentCo raises more than $1 million in addition to the amounts contributed by such Lead Investors.

In connection with the PIPE and the Merger, ParentCo agreed, pursuant to a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), to register on a registration statement (the “Investor Registration Statement”) the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued prior to the filing of the Investor Registration Statement, including the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger in exchange for the shares of common stock issued in the PIPE and the shares of Common Stock owned by ParentCo’s pre-Merger stockholders, as well as the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to the placement agent in the Merger in exchange for the Placement Agent Warrants (as defined below).  We refer to the securities the resale of which is required to be registered on the Investor Registration Statement as the “Registrable Securities.”  To effect this registration, ParentCo is obligated to file the Investor Registration Statement with the SEC no later than 45 days following the completion of the Merger and the Investor Registration Statement shall be declared effective by the SEC within 180 days following the completion date of the Merger (240 days in case of a full review by the SEC).  If, among other events, the Investor Registration Statement is not filed within such 45-day period, is not declared effective within 180 days after the completion date of the Merger (240 days in the case of a full review by the SEC), or ceases to remain effective for more than 10 consecutive trading days or any 15 trading days during any 12-month period, ParentCo is required to pay in cash to the investors in the PIPE an amount per month equal to one percent of the investors’ subscription amount for Registrable Securities still held by the investors, until the Investor Registration Statement is filed, declared effective or continues to be effective (as the case may be).  This payment is subject to a maximum of (i) one percent of the investors’ subscription amount for Registrable Securities still held by the investors if ParentCo is diligently using its best efforts to have the Investor Registration Statement declared effective and the delays associated with the effectiveness of the Investor Registration Statement are the result of either continuing comments from or delays in reviewing by the SEC and (ii) ten percent of the investors’ subscription amount for Registrable Securities still held by the investors in all other cases.

If the SEC informs ParentCo that all of the securities required to be registered on the Investor Registration Statement cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, ParentCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the SEC, covering the maximum number of such securities permitted to be registered by the SEC.   In such case, ParentCo will not be required to make payments in cash to the investors in the PIPE with respect to securities exceeding such maximum number if the registration statement is not declared effective within the time periods listed above.
 
ParentCo agreed to make such filings as are necessary to keep the Investor Registration Statement effective until the date on which all of the Registrable Securities have been sold or are saleable pursuant to Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) or its other subsections (or any successor thereto) under the Securities Act.  ParentCo is obligated to bear registration expenses (exclusive of transfer taxes, underwriters' discounts and commission) of all such registrations required.

The stockholders of Former ADMA also have registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger in exchange for shares of Former ADMA’s common stock and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options they hold, pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement.  They have agreed to waive their piggy back registration rights with respect to the Investor Registration Statement; however, they will be entitled to require the filing of a resale registration statement pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to cause securities to be delivered to non-affiliates without any restrictive legends if the resale of such securities has been registered, such securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or, in certain circumstances, if such securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144.  If the Company fails to do so, it is obligated to pay to the investor, for each $1,000 of shares, $1 per trading day, increasing to $2 per trading day five trading days after such damages have begun to accrue, until unrestricted certificates are delivered.  In addition, if the Company fails to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c), then the Company is obligated to pay to an investor, for any delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the securities, an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate subscription amount of such investor’s securities on the date of such current public information failure and on every 30th day thereafter (prorated for shorter periods) until the failure is cured or public information is no longer required for a Rule 144 sale.
 
Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the PIPE.

Historical Business of ParentCo
 
ParentCo was incorporated in Delaware with the objective to acquire, or merge with, an operating business.  Prior to the Merger, the Company was a “blank check” company, i.e., “a development stage company” that had no specific business plan or purpose, or had indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person; and has issued ‘penny stock,’ as defined in Rule 3a 51-1 under the Exchange Act.  ParentCo was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. ParentCo’s principal business objective was to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with an operating business.  

After the Merger, ParentCo changed its corporate name to ADMA Biologics, Inc. Unless the context otherwise requires, hereafter in this Report the terms “ADMA,” “the Company,” “we”, “us” or “our” refer to ADMA, after giving effect to the Merger.

Business of ADMA

Overview
 
ADMA’s mission is to develop and commercialize plasma-derived, human immune globulins targeted at niche patient populations, some with unmet medical needs.  These patient populations include those who may be naturally or medically immunocompromised, the elderly and prematurely born infants.

ADMA’s lead product candidate, RI-001, is a plasma-derived, polyclonal, Intravenous Immune Globulin with standardized high levels of antibodies against RSV.  RI-001 was the subject of a Phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trial in RSV-infected, immunocompromised patients.  RI-001 demonstrated it could produce a statistically significant rise in patient RSV titers as compared to placebo.  ADMA is currently preparing to conduct a pivotal Phase III clinical trial for RI-001 in order to gain FDA approval of RI-001 for the treatment of patients with primary immunodeficiency disease.

ADMA has contracts in place for plasma sourcing and manufacturing services.  Additionally, the Company is partially vertically integrated through its operation of ADMA BioCenters, a wholly-owned subsidiary and FDA-licensed source plasma collection facility.  ADMA BioCenters collects source plasma that may be manufactured into finished goods by third-party manufacturers or sold in the open market. ADMA also has contracts in place for testing services and for other consulting and operational activities.
 
Background of the Plasma Industry
 
Human blood contains a number of components including:
 
·
Red blood cells – Used to carry oxygen from the lungs to the body
 
·
White blood cells – Used by the immune system to fight infection
 
·
Platelets – Used for blood clotting
 
·
Plasma – Used to carry the aforementioned components throughout the body and provide support in clotting and immunity.
 
Plasma is the most abundant blood component, representing approximately 55% of total blood volume.  Plasma, which is 90% water, is rich in proteins used by the human body for blood clotting and fighting infection.  These proteins account for 7% of plasma’s volume.  Because plasma contains these valuable proteins, plasma collection and the manufacturing of human plasma-derived therapeutics provide therapeutic benefits for ill patients.

In order to produce plasma-derived therapeutics that can be administered to ill patients, raw material plasma must be collected and then manufactured into specialized products.  Plasma is collected from healthy donors at FDA-licensed plasma donation centers.  To ensure safety of the collected plasma, all plasma donations are tested using FDA-approved methods of Nucleic Acid Testing or NAT for various infectious diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus or HIV and hepatitis C virus or HCV.

Plasma is collected using a process called “plasmapheresis.”  During plasmapheresis, a donor’s blood is drawn into a specialized medical device that separates the plasma component through centrifugation, and then returns the other blood components back into the donor’s bloodstream.  This is performed in a sterile, self-contained, automated process.  The plasma that is collected is known as “normal source plasma.”  There are over 400 plasma donation centers in the United States.  In 2008, approximately 18.8 million plasma donations were made in the United States.  In the United States, a donor may donate plasma a maximum of two times in every seven-day period, with at least two days in between donations.  Plasma donation centers in the United States typically pay donors $20 to $40 per donation and some donors with rare or high antibody levels can be paid more.
 
 
10

 
 
In order to isolate the desired therapeutic elements in normal source plasma, it must initially undergo a manufacturing process called “fractionation.”  First, the source plasma undergoes a process called pooling, in which the individual plasma donations are combined into a tank. Second, the Cohn fractionation method, which is a combination of time, temperature, pH, alcohol concentration, and centrifugation, is used to separate the desired plasma protein components.  After fractionation, the proteins are then re-suspended and are treated with solvent detergent for viral inactivation.  Next, other forms of filtration ( e.g. , nanofiltration) are performed with chromatography processes for additional viral removal.  Finally, with the various components separated and purified, the bulk product is then formulated and filled into final, finished vials. During these various steps of manufacturing, each lot is reviewed and tested prior to being approved for release.

According to the Marketing Research Bureau, worldwide revenues from the plasma industry grew at a 6.8% compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) from 1994-2008, and 2008 revenues were approximately $11.8 billion.  In the United States, revenues grew at a 9% CAGR from 1994-2009, with 2009 revenues of approximately $4.5 billion.  The largest markets for plasma-derived products are the United States and Europe, which combined represented 73% of 2008 global revenues from plasma products.  The proteins in human plasma fall into four categories: albumin (60% of protein volume), immune globulins (15% of protein volume), coagulation factors (1% of protein volume), and other proteins (24% of protein volume) such as alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor and C1 esterase inhibitor.  Many of the other proteins in plasma have yet to be developed into commercial therapies. In the United States, not only are the plasma collection centers subject to FDA licensure, but each plasma protein product that is derived and fractionated from plasma must undergo an approval process with FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research or CBER.  In June 2008, the FDA published “Guidance for Industry: Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetic Studies to Support Marketing of Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) as Replacement Therapy for Primary Humoral Immunodeficiency” (which we refer to as the “FDA Guidance for Industry”) outlining the regulatory pathway for the approval of standard Intravenous Immune Globulins or IGIV for the treatment of PIDD.

Immune globulins can be prepared to be administered in three ways: intramuscular, intravenously or subcutaneously. Intravenous Immune Globulins or IGIV, commonly referred to as standard immune globulin, represented $5.1 billion of worldwide 2008 plasma revenue (43% of the total). IGIV principally contains antibodies and as such provides passive immunization for individuals that are immunodeficient or that have been exposed to various infectious agents.  IGIV is used therapeutically in a variety of immunological diseases/deficiencies, such as PIDD, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Guillain-Barré syndrome, Kawasaki disease, bone marrow transplant, and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. Additionally, as noted in the medical literature, IGIV is also used as therapy in a variety of other diseases that do not involve primary or secondary immune deficiencies, such as multiple sclerosis, skin disease, and asthma.  The currently marketed IGIV products have not been FDA-approved for these latter uses, the product labels do not describe these uses, and the products have largely not been studied in clinical studies for these uses; they are referred to as “off-label” uses. IGIV is also currently being evaluated in a clinical study for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease by other companies.  From 1994-2008, IGIV sales grew at a 12.5% CAGR.

There are two types of immune globulins (polyclonal antibody products), standard and hyperimmune. The difference between standard immune globulins and hyperimmune immune globulins is that the latter are manufactured using plasma obtained from donors who have elevated amounts (high titers) of specific antibodies.  Therefore, the products can be used to treat diseases that present with those specific antigens. Many hyperimmune globulin products are used to treat and manage specific infectious diseases.  Individual hyperimmune products currently on the market today are hepatitis B, tetanus, rabies, cytomegalovirus and RhoD, amongst others.  Hyperimmune products represented approximately $900 million of worldwide 2008 plasma revenue (8% of the total).
 
Our Strategy
 
Our goal is to be a recognized leader in developing and delivering specialized, targeted, plasma-derived therapeutics to extend and enhance the lives of individuals who are naturally or medically immunocompromised.  The key elements of our strategy for achieving this goal are as follows:

 
·
Achieve FDA approval of RI-001 as a treatment for PIDD.   We are planning to conduct a pivotal Phase III clinical trial for RI-001 for the treatment of PIDD in accordance with the FDA Guidance for Industry.  If the Phase III trial produces the anticipated safety and effectiveness results, we would expect to file a Biologics License Applications (“BLA”) in early 2014 and anticipate potential FDA approval by year-end 2014.

 
·
Develop and commercialize RI-001 as a treatment for PIDD.   If RI-001 is approved by the FDA as a treatment for PIDD, ADMA plans to hire a small, specialty sales force to market RI-001 to hospitals, physician offices/clinics, and other specialty treatment organizations. ADMA anticipates staffing the company with additional personnel for patient support, medical affairs, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, scientific affairs, reimbursement, inventory and logistics, human resources, and financial and operational management. ADMA may also use a network of national distributors to fulfill orders for RI-001.

 
·
Expand RI-001’s FDA-approved uses.   There are many patient populations that may derive clinical benefit from RI-001. RSV IGIV has historically been used in various immunocompromised patient populations, including patients with cystic fibrosis, prematurely born infants, transplant patients, oncology patients and other patients for the prevention and/or treatment of RSV. If approved by the FDA as a treatment for PIDD, ADMA plans to evaluate the various potential clinical and regulatory paths to grow the RI-001 franchise through expanded FDA-approved uses.
 
 
11

 
 
 
·
Develop additional plasma-derived products.   ADMA’s core competency is in the development and commercialization of plasma-derived therapeutics. There are patients with unmet medical needs that may be treatable with plasma-derived therapeutics. ADMA plans to evaluate these opportunities and pursue the development, FDA approval, and commercialization of additional products.  In addition, ADMA has identified some potential new product candidates and, although there can be no assurance that any such products may be developed, it may enter into certain pre-clinical activities with the intent to develop a new product pipeline for the Company.

 
·
Develop and expand ADMA BioCenters.   In an effort to generate revenues in advance of RI-001’s FDA approval and to control a portion of its raw material plasma supply for RI-001, ADMA formed ADMA BioCenters, a wholly-owned subsidiary that operates a plasma collection facility in Norcross, Georgia, United States. The facility received its FDA license in August 2011. Under this FDA license, ADMA BioCenters can collect normal source plasma and high-titer RSV plasma.  ADMA plans to sell normal source plasma to buyers in the open market and use the high-titer RSV plasma in the manufacturing of RI-001.  The Company believes that its Norcross, Georgia facility is the only plasma collection facility in the suburban Atlanta area.  ADMA may initiate other hyperimmune plasma collection programs at the Norcross facility. As part of these programs, plasma donors may be administered FDA-approved vaccines, or small doses of specific antigens, to trigger the body’s natural production of antibodies against those antigens. These donors are then tested to ensure appropriate antibody levels. Plasma subsequently collected from these donors is therefore considered hyperimmune and can be typically sold at higher prices than normal source plasma. ADMA believes this may increase revenues and gross margins of its plasma collection operation.  ADMA may also consider growth through the construction of additional ADMA BioCenters facilities in various regions of the United States. Additional BioCenters may allow ADMA to cost-effectively secure additional high-titer RSV plasma for RI-001, and potentially increase ADMA revenues through the collection and sale of normal source plasma and other hyperimmune plasma to third parties.
 
Our Product Candidate
 
RI-001
 
RI-001 is a plasma-derived, polyclonal, Intravenous Immune Globulin, which also has standardized high levels of antibodies against RSV. ADMA, by using its proprietary assay, is able to identify plasma donors with elevated amounts of RSV antibodies, measure these donors’ plasma RSV levels and formulate RI-001 with standardized high levels of RSV antibodies.  In addition, by using its proprietary assay to monitor RI-001 during manufacturing, ADMA is able to produce RI-001 with consistent lot-to-lot potency.  ADMA believes that RI-001 will be clearly differentiated from currently marketed IGIV products. RI-001 is expected to serve as a treatment for patients with PIDD.

Background on Primary Immunodeficiency Disease and Respiratory Syncytial Virus

PIDD is a class of inherited disorders characterized by defects in the immune system, due to either a lack of necessary antibodies or a failure of these antibodies to function properly. According to the World Health Organization, there are over 150 different presentations of PIDD. Because patients suffering from PIDD lack a properly functioning immune system, they typically receive monthly, outpatient infusions of IGIV therapy. Without this exogenous antibody immune support, these patients would be susceptible to a wide variety of infectious diseases. PIDD has an estimated prevalence of 1:1,200 in the United States, or approximately 250,000 people. 1
 
RSV is a common respiratory virus that often presents during the winter months of temperate climates. Nearly all children will have been infected with RSV by 3 years of age, however, the immune systems of most healthy children prevent significant morbidity and mortality. Conversely, in patients that are immunocompromised, such as those with PIDD or who have undergone a transplant and may be on immunosuppressive drugs, RSV infection can present significant morbidity and mortality. As noted in the medical literature immunocompromised patients historically have had a 5% to 15% rate of RSV infection, and, if left untreated, lower respiratory tract RSV infections in immunocompromised patients can result in a mortality rate of up to 40%. 2

Results of RI-001 Phase II Clinical and Compassionate Use Experience

As part of the clinical development of RI-001, ADMA conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical trial to evaluate RI-001 in immunocompromised, RSV-infected patients. This trial was conducted with 21 patients in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The Phase II trial demonstrated a statistically significant 4-fold increase in RSV titers at day 18 compared to baseline. There were no serious drug-related adverse events reported during the trial. The detailed data is described in Table 1 below:

RI-001 has also been administered to 15 compassionate use patients to date, where physicians requested access to the product for treating their patients, all of whom had documented lower tract RSV infections.  The drug was well-tolerated in these patients and there were no reports of serious adverse events attributable to RI-001.

Planned RI-001 Phase III Clinical Trial

ADMA is currently preparing to submit an Investigational New Drug application (“IND”) for a pivotal Phase III clinical trial of RI-001 as a treatment for PIDD. This trial is designed in accordance with the FDA Guidance for Industry and is an open-label, single-arm trial. ADMA expects to enroll and treat up to 50 PIDD patients at approximately 10 or fewer treatment centers located in the U.S. Each patient will be treated approximately once per month with RI-001 for 12 months, with an additional 30-day follow-up period. Dosage will vary by patient and may range from 300mg/kg to 750mg/kg, based on the patient’s current IGIV dose, every 21 to 28 days. The trial’s primary endpoint will be demonstration of a serious infection rate per person per year of less than one.

Manufacturing and Supply

In order to produce plasma-derived therapeutics that can be administered to patients, raw material plasma is collected from healthy donors at plasma collection facilities licensed by the FDA.  ADMA BioCenters, an FDA-licensed source plasma collection facility, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ADMA and provides the Company with a portion of its plasma requirements.  Once source plasma has been collected, it is then manufactured, or fractionated, into specialized therapies which are used by patients who require them.  ADMA has entered into agreements with independent third parties for the sourcing of blood plasma and for the manufacturing of RI-001.  The contracts are with well-regarded facilities that are fully licensed to manufacture biologics.  ADMA is dependent upon its contracted, third party suppliers for the manufacture of RI-001.  Its principal supplier of source plasma is Biotest Pharmaceuticals Corporation.

Marketing and Sales

The Company intends to market and sell its products after receipt of its FDA approval through direct sales force representatives, distribution relationships and other customary industry methods.

Competition

The plasma products industry is highly competitive with changing competitive dynamics. We face, and will continue to face, intense competition from both U.S.-based and foreign producers of plasma products, some of which have lower cost structures, greater access to capital, direct ownership of manufacturing facilities, greater resources for research and development, and sophisticated marketing capabilities.  In addition to competition from other large worldwide plasma products providers, we face competition in local areas from smaller entities. In Europe, where the industry is highly regulated and health care systems vary from country to country, local companies may have greater knowledge of local health care systems, more established infrastructures and have existing regulatory approvals or a better understanding of the local regulatory process, allowing them to market their products more quickly. Moreover, plasma therapy generally faces competition from non-plasma products and other courses of treatments. For example, recombinant Factor VIII products compete with plasma-derived products in the treatment of Hemophilia A.

Intellectual Property

ADMA relies on a combination of trade secrets and nondisclosure and non-competition agreements to protect its proprietary intellectual property and will continue to do so.  ADMA also seeks to enhance and ensure its competitive position through a variety of means including its unique and proprietary plasma donor selection criteria, its proprietary formulation methodology for plasma pooling, and the proprietary  reagents, controls, testing standards, Standard Operating Procedures and methods it uses in its anti-RSV microneutralization assay.  While we intend to defend against any threats to our intellectual property, there can be no assurance that our trade secret policies and practices or other agreements will adequately protect our intellectual property.  We seek to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of our data and trade secrets by maintaining physical security of our premises and physical and electronic security of our information technology systems. These  processes, systems, and/or security measures may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies  as a result of any  such breaches.  Third parties may also own or could obtain patents that may require us to negotiate licenses to conduct our business, and there can be no assurance that the required licenses would be available on reasonable terms or at all.  In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors.  We also seek to protect our proprietary technology and processes, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, scientific advisors and contractors. Although we rely, in part, on confidentiality, nondisclosure and non-competition agreements with employees, consultants and other parties with access to our proprietary information to protect our trade secrets, proprietary technology, processes and other proprietary rights, there can be no assurance that these agreements or any other security measures relating to such trade secrets, proprietary technology, processes and proprietary rights will be adequate, will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or that third parties will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or proprietary knowledge.  To the extent that our consultants, contractors or collaborators use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions.

Government Regulation and Product Approval
 
The FDA and comparable regulatory agencies in state and local jurisdictions and in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon the testing (preclinical and clinical), manufacturing, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, advertising, promotion, import, export, marketing and distribution, among other things, of products and product candidates. If we do not comply with applicable requirements, we may be fined, the government may refuse to approve our marketing applications or allow us to manufacture or market our products, and we may be criminally prosecuted.  We and our manufacturers may also be subject to regulations under other United States federal, state, and local laws.

United States Government Regulation

In the United States, the FDA regulates products under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA and related regulations. The process required by the FDA before our product candidates may be marketed in the United States generally involves the following (although the FDA is given wide discretion to impose different or more stringent requirements on a case-by-case basis):

 
1.
completion of extensive preclinical laboratory tests, preclinical animal studies and formulation studies performed in accordance with the FDA’s good laboratory practice regulations and other regulations;
     
 
2.
submission to the FDA of an IND application which must become effective before clinical trials may begin;
     
 
3.
performance of multiple adequate and well-controlled clinical trials meeting FDA requirements to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;
     
 
4.
manufacturing (through an FDA-licensed contract manufacturing organization) of product in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) to be used in the clinical trials and to provide manufacturing information need in regulatory filings;
     
 
5.
submission of a BLA to the FDA;
     
 
6.
satisfactory completion of an FDA pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product candidate is produced, and potentially other involved facilities as well, to assess compliance with cGMP regulations and other applicable regulations; and
     
 
7.
the FDA review and approval of the BLA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the product.
     
 
 
14

 
 
The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our product candidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all. See “Risk Factors.”

Preclinical tests may include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity and other effects in animals. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, among other information, are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND application. Subject to certain exceptions, an IND becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30-day time period, issues a clinical hold to delay a proposed clinical investigation due to concerns or questions about the product or the conduct of the clinical trial, including concerns that human research subjects will be exposed to unreasonable health risks. In such a case, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before the clinical trial can begin. Our submission of an IND, or those of our collaboration partners, may not result in the FDA allowance to commence a clinical trial. A separate submission to an existing IND must also be made for each successive clinical trial conducted during product development. The FDA must also approve certain changes to an existing IND, such as certain  manufacturing changes. Further, an independent institutional review board, or IRB, duly constituted to meet FDA requirements, for each medical center proposing to conduct the clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center and it must monitor the safety of the study and study subjects until completed. The FDA, the IRB or the sponsor may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Clinical testing also must satisfy extensive Good Clinical Practice (GCP)  requirements and regulations for informed consent.

Clinical Trials
 
For purposes of BLA submission and approval, clinical trials are typically conducted in the following three sequential phases, which may overlap (although additional or different trials may be required by the FDA as well):
 
 
1.
Phase I clinical trials are initially conducted in a limited population to test the product candidate for safety, dose tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution and excretion in healthy humans or, on occasion, in patients, such as cancer patients.
     
 
2.
Phase II clinical trials are generally conducted in a limited patient population to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks, to determine the efficacy of the product candidate for specific targeted indications and to determine tolerance and optimal dosage. Multiple Phase II clinical trials may be conducted by the sponsor to obtain information prior to beginning larger and more expensive Phase III clinical trials. In some cases, a sponsor may decide to conduct what is referred to as a “Phase IIb” evaluation, which is a second, confirmatory Phase II clinical trial that could, if positive and accepted by the FDA, serve as a pivotal clinical trial in the approval of a product candidate.
     
 
3.
Certain Phase III clinical trials are referred to as pivotal trials. When Phase II clinical trials demonstrate that a dose range of the product candidate is effective and has an acceptable safety profile, Phase III clinical trials are undertaken in large patient populations to provide substantial evidence of reproducibility of clinical efficacy results and to further test for safety in an expanded and diverse patient population at multiple, geographically dispersed clinical trial sites.
     
In some cases, the FDA may condition continued approval of a BLA on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct additional clinical trials, or other commitments. Such post-approval studies are typically referred to as Phase IV studies.
 
Biological License Application
 
The results of product candidate development, preclinical testing and clinical trials, together with, among other things, detailed information on the manufacture and composition of the product and proposed labeling, and the payment of a user fee, are submitted to the FDA as part of a BLA. The FDA reviews all BLAs submitted before it accepts them for filing and may reject the filing as inadequate to merit review or may request additional information to be submitted in a very short time frame before accepting a BLA for filing. Once a BLA is accepted for filing, the FDA begins an in-depth review of the application.

During its review of a BLA, the FDA may refer the application to an advisory committee of experts for their review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved, which information is taken into consideration along with FDA’s own review findings. The FDA may refuse to approve a BLA and issue a not approvable letter if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied.  It may also require additional clinical or other data, including one or more additional pivotal Phase III clinical trials - this may involve the issuance of a Complete Response Letter without approval. Even if such requested data are submitted, the FDA may ultimately decide that the BLA does not satisfy the criteria for approval. Data from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret data differently than we do. If the FDA’s evaluations of the BLA and the clinical and manufacturing procedures and facilities are favorable, the FDA may issue an approval letter or a Complete Response Letter, which contains the conditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the BLA, or a determination of Rejection of the BLA as Unapprovable. If a Complete Response Letter is issued, if and when those items  have been resolved to the FDA’s satisfaction, the FDA will issue an approval letter, authorizing commercial marketing of the product for certain indications. The FDA may withdraw product approval if ongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety problems occur after the product reaches the market. In addition, the FDA may require testing, including Phase IV clinical trials, and surveillance programs to monitor the effect of approved products that have been commercialized, and the FDA has the power to prevent or limit further marketing of a product based on the results of these post-marketing programs. Products may be marketed only for the FDA-approved indications and in accordance with the FDA-approved label. Further, if there are any modifications to the product, including changes in indications, other labeling changes, or manufacturing processes or facilities, we may be required to submit and obtain FDA approval of a new BLA or BLA supplement, which may require us to develop additional data or conduct additional preclinical studies and clinical trials, and/or require additional manufacturing data.

Satisfaction of the FDA regulations and approval requirements or similar requirements of foreign regulatory agencies typically takes several years, and the actual time required may vary substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product or disease. Typically, if a product candidate is intended to treat a chronic disease, as is the case with RI-001, safety and efficacy data must be gathered over an extended period of time. Government regulation may delay or prevent marketing of product candidates for a considerable period of time and impose costly procedures upon our activities. The FDA or any other regulatory agency may not grant approvals for changes in dose form or new indications for a product candidate on a timely basis, or at all. Even if a product candidate receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited to specific disease states, patient populations and dosages. Further, even after regulatory approval is obtained, later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product may result in restrictions on the product or even complete withdrawal of the product from the market. Delays in obtaining, or failures to obtain, regulatory approvals for any of our product candidates would harm our business. In addition, we cannot predict what adverse governmental regulations may arise from future United States or foreign governmental action.

Other Regulatory Requirements
 
Any products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to future FDA approvals are subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including certain kinds of monitoring in the manufacturing of our products, recordkeeping requirements and reporting of adverse experiences associated with the product. Product manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliance with ongoing regulatory requirements, including cGMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our third-party manufacturers. Failure to comply with the statutory and regulatory requirements can subject a manufacturer to possible legal or regulatory action, such as warning letters, suspension of manufacturing, sales or use, seizure of product, injunctive action or possible   fines and other penalties. We cannot be certain that we or our present or future third-party manufacturers or suppliers will be able to comply with the cGMP regulations and other ongoing FDA regulatory requirements. If our present or future third-party manufacturers or suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may halt our clinical trials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the BLA for that product.

The FDA closely regulates the post-approval marketing and promotion of products, including standards and regulations for direct-to-consumer advertising, off-label promotion, industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities and promotional activities involving the Internet. A company can make only those claims relating to safety and efficacy that are approved by the FDA. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in adverse publicity, warning and/or other regulatory letters, corrective advertising and potential  major fines and other penalties.

Foreign Regulation
 
In addition to regulations in the United States, if the Company chooses to pursue clinical development and commercialization in the European Union, we will be subject to a variety of foreign regulations governing clinical trials and commercial sales and distribution of any future product. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product, we must obtain approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries before we can commence clinical trials or marketing of the product in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country, and the time may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary greatly from country to country.
Under European Union regulatory systems, marketing authorizations may be submitted either under a centralized or mutual recognition procedure. The centralized procedure provides for the grant of a single marking authorization that is valid for all European Union member states. The mutual recognition procedure provides for mutual recognition of national approval decisions. Under this procedure, the holder of a national marking authorization may submit an application to the remaining member states. Within 90 days of receiving the applications and assessment report, each member state must decide whether to recognize approval, refuse it or request additional information, etc.

Employees
 
Currently, ADMA has five (5) full-time employees and two part-time employees, as well as additional consultants. ADMA BioCenters, which has its own dedicated staff trained and certified to operate the plasma collection center, also has nine (9) full-time employees, as well as specialized consultants.  Over the course of the next year, we anticipate hiring up to five additional full-time employees devoted to research and development activities and up to five additional full-time employees for general and administrative activities as well as adding additional staff to the plasma collection center as appropriate. In addition, we intend to use clinical research organizations, third parties and consultants to perform our clinical studies and manufacturing and other regulatory affairs and quality control services.

Research and Development

ADMA’s expenditures on research and development were approximately $2.2 million and $3.9 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Properties
 
Our executive offices are located in approximately 5,000 square feet of space at 65 Commerce Way, Hackensack, NJ 07601. Our telephone number is (201) 478-5552.  Currently we operate under a shared services agreement with Areth, LLC for the office, warehouse space and related services and have the ability to cancel this agreement upon 30 days’ notice.  Areth, LLC is a company controlled by Dr. Jerrold B. Grossman, our Vice-Chairman, and we pay monthly fees for the use of such office space and for other information technology and general warehousing and administrative services.  Rent under the shared services agreement is $8,037.33 per month. We believe that the office space is suitable for our current needs and we do not anticipate the need for additional space in the near future.

ADMA BioCenters’ facility is located at 6290 Jimmy Carter Boulevard, Suite 208 in Norcross, Georgia.  In June 2008, ADMA entered into a lease of the property from DCT Industrial for approximately 15,000 square feet of space which has been designed to meet the needs of a plasma collection center.  The current rent is $14,900.25 per month.  Yearly rent increases of no more than 2.5% per year are provided for in the lease agreement.  The lease agreement expires on September 30, 2018.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
We are not involved in any pending legal proceedings and are not aware of any threatened legal proceedings against us.

Risk Factors

There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent ADMA from achieving its goals. The risks described below are not the only ones the Company will face.  If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and investors in our Common Stock could lose all or part of their investment.
 
Risks Relating to our Business

To date, we have generated limited product revenues and will need to raise additional capital to operate our business, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.  We may not be able to continue as a going concern.
 
To date, we have generated limited revenues.  All of our revenues to date have been derived from the sale of plasma collected by ADMA BioCenters, as well as our other plasma inventory sales. Unless and until we receive approval from the FDA and other regulatory authorities for our RI-001 product candidate, we will be unable to sell and generate revenues from that product. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, we will have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the revenues that may be generated by the sale of plasma collected by ADMA Biocenters, as well as cash on hand and potential future capital raises.   We cannot assure you that we would be able to retain the FDA license for our plasma collection center, which we need in order to sell plasma collected by the plasma collection center.  We also cannot assure you that the net proceeds from the PIPE will be sufficient to enable us to complete the FDA approval process for our RI-001 product candidate.

The audit opinion we received from our independent auditors in connection with our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, contained an explanatory paragraph related to our ability to continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to raise additional capital, to fund our research and development and commercial programs and meet our obligations on a timely basis.  If we are unable to successfully raise sufficient additional capital we will likely not have sufficient cash flow and liquidity to fund our business operations, forcing us to curtail our activities and, ultimately, potentially cease operations.  Even if we are able to raise additional capital, such financings may only be available on unattractive terms, resulting in significant dilution of stockholders’ interests and, in such event, the value and potential future market price of our Common Stock may decline.

We currently do not have arrangements to obtain additional financing.  Any such financing could be difficult to obtain or only available on unattractive terms and could result in significant dilution of stockholders’ interests.  Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business plan and financial performance and could delay, discontinue or prevent product development and clinical trial activities or the approval of any of our potential products. In addition, we could be forced to reduce or forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractive business opportunities.

Continued instability in the credit and financial markets may negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
 
Financial markets in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia continue to experience disruption, including, among other things, significant volatility in security prices, declining valuations of certain investments, as well as severely diminished liquidity and credit availability. Business activity across a wide range of industries and regions continues to be greatly reduced and local governments and many businesses are still suffering from the lack of consumer spending and the lack of liquidity in the credit markets. As a clinical-stage biotechnology company, we rely on third parties for several important aspects of our business, including contract manufacturing of drug product, plasma collection supplies, transportation and storage of plasma, and conduct of our clinical trials.  These third parties may be unable to satisfy their commitments to us due to tightening of global credit from time to time, which would adversely affect our business. The continued instability in the credit and financial market conditions may also negatively impact our ability to access capital and credit markets and our ability to manage our cash balance. While we are unable to predict the continued duration and severity of the adverse conditions in the United States and other countries, any of the circumstances mentioned above could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow or cash position.

We are not currently profitable and may never become profitable.
 
We have a history of losses and expect to incur substantial losses and negative operating cash flow for the foreseeable future, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we had a net loss of $5.9 million (audited) and from our inception in 2004 through September 30, 2011, we have incurred a net loss of   $28.9 million (unaudited). Even if we succeed in developing and commercializing one or more product candidates, we expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we:
 
 
18

 
 
 --
continue to undertake development and clinical trials for RI-001;
 --
seek regulatory approval(s);
 --
implement additional internal systems, controls and infrastructure; and
 --
hire additional personnel.

We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our securities.

We have a limited operating history upon which to base an investment decision
 
We are a development-stage company and have not demonstrated an ability to perform the functions necessary for the successful commercialization of RI-001. The successful commercialization of any product candidate will require us or our collaborators to perform a variety of functions, including:

 --
undertaking product development and clinical trials;
 --
participating in regulatory approval processes;
 --
formulating and manufacturing products; and
 --
conducting sales and marketing activities once authorized.
 
Our operations have been limited to organizing and staffing our company, acquiring, developing and securing our proprietary technology, undertaking pre-clinical and clinical trials of our product candidates and commencing the operations of ADMA BioCenters. These operations provide a limited basis for you to assess our ability to commercialize our product candidates and the advisability of investing in our securities.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has identified material weaknesses in our financial reporting process.

ADMA’s independent registered public accounting firm (which has been appointed our independent registered public accounting firm in conjunction with the Merger) has identified material weaknesses in ADMA’s financial reporting process.  Specifically, the independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses with respect to:

 --
the financial statement closing process, in that it did not identify all journal entries that needed to be recorded;
 --
currently inadequate segregation of duties by management in the financial reporting area; and
 --
currently inadequate level of accounting expertise among management to properly ensure that accounting transactions are properly recorded, such as the preparation of financial statements and valuation of warrants issued in conjunction with financings.

We intend to take the following measures to address the material weaknesses identified by our independent registered public accounting firm and improve our periodic financial statement reporting process:

 --
hire a Chief Financial Officer and/or Controller with the requisite accounting expertise to ensure proper recording of accounting transactions;
 --
limit access to the accounting and information systems and related data to strengthen segregation of duties; and
 --
implement procedures and controls in the financial statement closing process to improve the accuracy and timeliness of the preparation of quarterly and annual financial statements.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our plans to remediate the material weaknesses in our financial reporting process. Our failure to successfully implement our plans to remediate these material weaknesses could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, to produce timely and reliable financial information, and to effectively prevent fraud. Additionally, such failure could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition and stock price.
 
 
19

 
 
Currently, our only viable product candidate is RI-001.  If we do not obtain the necessary U.S. or worldwide regulatory approvals to commercialize RI-001, or any other product candidate, we will not be able to sell RI-001.
 
At the present time, our entire focus is obtaining regulatory approval for RI-001, our only product candidate.  If we cannot obtain regulatory approval for RI-001, our only source of revenue will be plasma collection and sales.  We cannot assure you that we will receive the approvals necessary to commercialize RI-001 or any other product candidate we may acquire or develop in the future. In order to obtain FDA approval of RI-001 or any other product candidate requiring FDA approval, our clinical development must demonstrate that the product candidate is safe for humans and effective for its intended use, and we must submit a BLA. To attain required FDA approval of any other product candidate generally requires significant research and testing, referred to as pre-clinical studies, as well as human tests, referred to as clinical trials. Satisfaction of the FDA’s regulatory requirements typically takes many years, depends upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidate and requires substantial resources for research, development and testing. We cannot predict whether our research and clinical approaches will result in products that the FDA considers safe for humans and effective for indicated uses. The FDA has substantial discretion in the product approval process and may require us to conduct additional pre-clinical and clinical testing or to perform post-marketing studies. The approval process may also be delayed by changes in government regulation, future legislation or administrative action or changes in FDA policy that occur prior to or during our regulatory review. Delays in obtaining regulatory approvals may:
 
 --
delay commercialization of, and our ability to derive product revenues from, our product candidate;
 --
impose costly procedures on us; and
 --
diminish any competitive advantages that we may otherwise enjoy.
 
Even if we comply with all FDA requests, the FDA may ultimately reject our BLA. We may never obtain regulatory clearance for RI-001 or any other potential product candidate. Failure to obtain FDA approval of any of our product candidates will severely undermine our business by leaving us without a saleable product beyond the plasma collected by ADMA BioCenters, and therefore without any source of additional revenues if and until another product candidate can be developed and commercialized. There is no guarantee that we will ever be able to develop or acquire another product candidate.

In foreign jurisdictions, we must receive approval from the appropriate regulatory authorities before we can commercialize any products. Foreign regulatory approval processes generally include all of the risks associated with the FDA approval procedures described above. We cannot assure you that we will receive the approvals necessary to commercialize any product candidate for sale outside the United States.

Our current product candidate, RI-001, requires extensive additional clinical testing. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining regulatory approval for RI-001, we may be required to delay or abandon development of such product, which would have a material adverse impact on our business .  
 
Although we have completed a Phase II trial for RI-001, continuing product development requires additional and extensive clinical testing. We cannot provide any assurance or certainty regarding when we might complete the clinical trial process or submit a BLA for regulatory approval for RI-001 or whether any such BLA will be accepted or approved. In the event we do not ultimately receive regulatory approval for RI-001, we may be required to terminate development of our only product candidate.  Unless we acquire or develop other product candidates that are saleable, our business will be limited to plasma collection and sales.
 
Clinical trials are very expensive, time-consuming and difficult to design and implement If clinical trials for any of our product candidates don’t provide positive results, we may be required to abandon or repeat such clinical trials.
 
Human clinical trials are very expensive and difficult to design and implement, in part because they are subject to rigorous regulatory requirements. The clinical trial process is also time consuming. We estimate that clinical trials of our product candidate will take at least 18 months to several years to complete. Furthermore, failure can occur at any stage of the trials, and we could encounter problems that cause us to abandon or repeat clinical trials. The commencement and completion of clinical trials may be delayed by several factors, including:

 --
unforeseen safety issues;
 --
determination of dosing issues;
 --
lack of effectiveness during clinical trials;
 --
slower than expected rates of patient recruitment;
 --
inability to monitor patients adequately during or after treatment; and
 --
inability or unwillingness of medical investigators to follow our clinical protocols.
 
 
20

 
 
In addition, we or the FDA may suspend our clinical trials at any time if it appears that we are exposing participants to unacceptable health risks or if the FDA finds deficiencies in our IND submissions or the conduct of these trials.  Therefore, we cannot provide any assurance or predict with certainty the schedule for future clinical trials.  We completed clinical trials in 2008 and 2009, during which we enrolled 21 subjects.  The focus of our planned Phase III clinical trial has been designed in accordance with the FDA Guidance for Industry and we believe that the revised design will increase the probability of successful trial enrollment.  No assurance can be given that we will be able to enroll sufficient subjects to complete a successful Phase III clinical trial.
 
If the results of our clinical trials do not support our product candidate claims, completing the development of such product candidates may be significantly delayed or we may be forced to abandon development of such product candidates altogether.
 
Even if our clinical trials are completed as planned, we cannot be certain that their results will support our product candidate claims. Success in pre-clinical testing and early clinical trials does not ensure that later clinical trials will be successful, and we cannot be sure that the results of later clinical trials will replicate the results of prior clinical trials and pre-clinical testing. The clinical trial process may fail to demonstrate that our product candidates are safe for humans and effective for indicated uses. This failure would cause us to abandon a product candidate and may delay development of other product candidates. Any delay in, or termination of, our clinical trials will delay the filing of a BLA with the FDA and, ultimately, our ability to commercialize our product candidates and generate product revenues. In addition, our clinical trials involve a relatively small patient population. Because of the small sample size, the results of these clinical trials may not be indicative of future results. In addition, certain portions of the clinical trial for RI-001 were performed outside the United States, and therefore, may not have been performed in accordance with standards normally required by the FDA and other regulatory agencies.
 
If physicians and patients do not accept and use our product, our ability to generate revenue from sales will be materially impaired.  
 
Even if the FDA approves RI-001, physicians and patients may not accept and use it. Acceptance and use of our product will depend on a number of factors including:
 
 --
perceptions by members of the health care community, including physicians,
about the safety and effectiveness of our product;
 --
cost-effectiveness of our product relative to competing products;
 --
availability of reimbursement for our product from government or other healthcare payers; and
 --
effectiveness of marketing and distribution efforts by us and our licensees  and distributors, if any.
 
Because we expect sales of RI-001, if approved, to generate substantially all of our product revenues other than the revenue attainable from the sale of plasma collected by ADMA BioCenters, the failure of this product to find market acceptance would harm our business and could require us to seek additional financing or make such financing difficult to obtain on favorable terms, if at all.

Our long-term success may depend on our ability to supplement our existing RI-001 product candidate through new product development or the in-license or acquisition of other new products, and if our business development efforts are not successful, our ability to achieve profitability may be negatively impacted.

Our current product development portfolio consists solely of RI-001. We intend to seek to expand our current portfolio through new product development efforts or to in-license or acquire additional products. If we are not successful in developing or acquiring additional products, we will depend on our ability to raise capital for, and the successful development and commercialization of, RI-001 and the revenue we may generate from the sale of plasma attributable to the operations of ADMA BioCenters.
 
We depend on third-party researchers and developers to develop RI-001, and such parties are, to some extent, outside of our control .  
 
We depend on independent investigators and collaborators, such as universities and medical institutions, to conduct our pre-clinical and clinical trials under agreements with us. These collaborators are not our employees and we cannot control the amount or timing of resources that they devote to our programs. These investigators may not assign as great a priority to our programs or pursue them as diligently as we would if we were undertaking such programs ourselves. If outside collaborators fail to devote sufficient time and resources to our product-development programs, or if their performance is substandard, the approval of our FDA application(s), if any, and our introduction of new products, if any, will be delayed. These collaborators may also have relationships with other commercial entities, some of whom may compete with us. If our collaborators assist our competitors at our expense, our competitive position would be harmed.
 
 
21

 
 
Relying exclusively on third parties to manufacture our product candidates exposes us to risks that may delay testing, development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our product candidates .  
 
We have limited experience in manufacturing and do not intend to establish our own manufacturing facilities. We lack the resources to manufacture RI-001. Although we have agreements pertaining to the manufacture, supply, storage and distribution of product supplies of RI-001 for clinical development purposes, we do not have any agreements for the commercial scale manufacture of RI-001, and upon commercialization, it is possible that our manufacturing requirements may exceed the available supply allotments under our existing agreements.  We will rely on one or more third-party contractors to manufacture our products. Our anticipated future reliance on a limited number of third-party manufacturers exposes us to the following risks:
 
 --
We may be unable to identify manufacturers on acceptable terms or at all because the number of potential manufacturers is limited and the FDA must approve any replacement contractor. This approval would require new testing and compliance inspections. In addition, a new manufacturer would have to be educated in, or develop substantially equivalent processes for, production of our products after receipt of FDA approval, if any.
 --
Third-party manufacturers might be unable to manufacture our products in the volume and of the quality required to meet our clinical needs and commercial needs, if any.
 --
Contract manufacturers may not perform as agreed or may not remain in the contract manufacturing business for the time required to supply our clinical trials or to successfully produce, store and distribute our products.
 --
Product manufacturers are subject to ongoing periodic unannounced inspection by the FDA, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and corresponding state agencies to ensure strict compliance with good manufacturing practice and other government regulations and corresponding foreign standards. We do not have control over third-party manufacturers’ compliance with these regulations and standards.
 --
If any third-party manufacturer makes improvements in the manufacturing process for our products, we may not own, or may have to share, the intellectual property rights to the innovation.  We may be required to pay fees or other costs for access to such improvements.
 
Each of these risks could delay our clinical trials, the approval, if any, of our product candidates by the FDA or the commercialization of our product candidates or result in higher costs or deprive us of potential product revenues.
 
Developments by competitors may render our products or technologies obsolete or non-competitive
 
The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Should we obtain regulatory approval for RI-001 or any future product we may develop, we will have to compete with existing therapies. In addition, other  companies may pursue the development of pharmaceuticals that target the same diseases and conditions that we are targeting. We face competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the United States and abroad. In addition, companies pursuing different but related fields represent substantial competition. Many of these organizations competing with us have substantially greater capital resources, larger research and development staffs and facilities, longer product development history in obtaining regulatory approvals and greater manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do. These organizations also compete with us to attract qualified personnel and parties for acquisitions, joint ventures or other collaborations.

We do not own any issued patents and we do not have any patent applications in process.  If we are unable to protect our trade secrets or other proprietary rights, our competitiveness and business prospects may be materially damaged.

We do not own any issued patents and we do not have any patent applications currently pending.  Rather, we rely exclusively on a combination of trade secrets and nondisclosure and non-competition agreements to protect our proprietary intellectual property, and we will continue to do so. While we intend to defend against any threats to our intellectual property, there can be no assurance that our trade secret policies and practices or other agreements will adequately protect our intellectual property.  We seek to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of our data and trade secrets by maintaining physical security of our premises and physical and electronic security of our information technology systems. These  processes, systems, and/or security measures may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies  as a result of any  such breaches.  Third parties could also obtain patents that may require us to negotiate licenses to conduct our business, and there can be no assurance that the required licenses would be available on reasonable terms or at all.  In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors.  We also seek to protect our proprietary technology and processes, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, scientific advisors and contractors. Although we rely, in part, on  confidentiality, nondisclosure and non-competition agreements with employees, consultants and other  parties with access to our proprietary information to protect our trade secrets, proprietary technology, processes and other proprietary rights, there can be no assurance that these agreements or any other security measures relating to such trade secrets, proprietary technology, processes and proprietary rights will be adequate, will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or that third parties will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or proprietary knowledge.  To the extent that our consultants, contractors or collaborators use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions.
 
 
22

 
 
  If we infringe the rights of third parties we could be prevented from selling products, forced to pay damages, and find it necessary to defend against litigation.
 
If our products, methods, processes and other technologies infringe the proprietary rights of other parties, we could incur substantial costs and we may have to:
 
 --
obtain licenses, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all;
 --
abandon an infringing product candidate;
 --
redesign our products or processes to avoid infringement;
 --
stop using the subject matter claimed in the patents held by others;
 --
pay damages; or
 --
defend litigation or administrative proceedings, which may be costly whether we win or lose, and which could result in a substantial diversion of our financial and management resources.

If we are unable to successfully manage our growth, our business may be harmed
 
Our success will depend on the expansion of our operations and the effective management of our growth, which will place a significant strain on our management and on our administrative, operational and financial resources. To manage this growth, we must expand our facilities, augment our operational, financial and management systems and hire and train additional qualified personnel. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business would be harmed.  
  
We rely on our chief executive officer, and his knowledge of our business and technical expertise would be difficult to replace .  
 
We depend to a great extent on our principal executive officer. We do not have “key person” life insurance policies for any of our officers. The loss of the technical knowledge and management and industry expertise of any of our key personnel could result in delays in product development, loss of potential customers and sales, and diversion of management resources, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

If we are unable to hire additional qualified personnel, our ability to grow our business may be harmed.
 
We will need to hire additional qualified personnel with expertise in finance and accounting, clinical research and testing, government regulation, formulation and manufacturing and sales and marketing. In particular, over the next 12 months, we expect to hire up to 10 new employees devoted to medical and scientific affairs, regulatory affairs, quality control, financial services, general and operational management. We expect that the hiring of such additional personnel will increase our annual expenditures by approximately $1.5 million or more. We compete for qualified individuals with numerous biopharmaceutical companies, universities and other research institutions. Competition for such individuals is intense, and we cannot assure you that our search for such personnel will be successful. Attracting and retaining qualified personnel will be critical to our success, and any failure to do so successfully may have a material adverse effect on us.
 
We may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit commercialization of our products in response to product liability lawsuits .  
 
The testing and marketing of medical products entail an inherent risk of product liability. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our products. Our inability to obtain sufficient product liability insurance at an acceptable cost to protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of pharmaceutical products we develop, alone or with collaborators.
 
Many of our business practices are subject to scrutiny by regulatory authorities, as well as to lawsuits brought by private citizens under federal and state laws. Failure to comply with applicable law or an adverse decision in lawsuits may result in adverse consequences to us.
 
The laws governing our conduct in the United States are enforceable by criminal, civil and administrative penalties. Violations of laws such as the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the False Claims Act and the Anti-Kickback Law and the Public Health Service Act, and any regulations promulgated under their authority, may result in jail sentences, fines or exclusion from federal and state programs, as may be determined by Medicare, Medicaid and the Department of Defense and other regulatory authorities as well as by the courts. There can be no assurance that our activities will not come under the scrutiny of regulators and other government authorities or that our practices will not be found to violate applicable laws, rules and regulations or prompt lawsuits by private citizen “relators” under federal or state false claims laws.
 
 
23

 
 
For example, under the Anti-Kickback Law, and similar state laws and regulations, even common business arrangements, such as discounted terms and volume incentives for customers in a position to recommend or choose products for patients, such as physicians and hospitals, can result in substantial legal penalties, including, among others, exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and arrangements with referral sources must be structured with care to comply with applicable requirements. Also, certain business practices, such as consulting fees to healthcare providers, sponsorship of educational or research grants, charitable donations, interactions with healthcare providers that prescribe products for uses not approved by the FDA and financial support for continuing medical education programs, must be conducted within narrowly prescribed and controlled limits to avoid any possibility of wrongfully influencing healthcare providers to prescribe or purchase particular products or as a reward for past prescribing. Under the U.S. healthcare reform law, such payments by pharmaceutical manufacturers to United States healthcare practitioners and academic medical centers must be publicly disclosed starting with payments made in calendar year 2012. A number of states have similar laws in place. Additional and stricter prohibitions could be implemented by federal and state authorities. Where such practices have been found to be improper incentives to use such products, government investigations and assessments of penalties against manufacturers have resulted in substantial damages and fines. Many manufacturers have been required to enter into consent decrees or orders that prescribe allowable corporate conduct.
 
Failure to satisfy requirements under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act can also result in penalties, as well as requirements to enter into consent decrees or orders that prescribe allowable corporate conduct.
 
In addition, while regulatory authorities generally do not regulate physicians' discretion in their choice of treatments for their patients, they do restrict communications by manufacturers on unapproved uses of approved products or on the potential safety and efficacy of unapproved products in development. Companies in the United States, Canada and European Union cannot promote approved products for other indications that are not specifically approved by the competent regulatory authorities (e.g., FDA in the United States), nor can companies promote unapproved products. In limited circumstances, companies may disseminate to physicians information regarding unapproved uses of approved products or results of studies involving investigational products. If such activities fail to comply with applicable regulations and guidelines of the various regulatory authorities, we may be subject to warnings from, or enforcement action by, these authorities. Furthermore, if such activities are prohibited, it may harm demand for our products.
 
Promotion of unapproved drugs or devices or unapproved indications for a drug or device is a violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and subjects us to civil and criminal sanctions. Furthermore, sanctions under the Federal False Claims Act have recently been brought against companies accused of promoting off-label uses of drugs, because such promotion induces the use and subsequent claims for reimbursement under Medicare and other federal programs. Similar actions for off-label promotion have been initiated by several states for Medicaid fraud. The U.S. healthcare reform law significantly strengthened provisions of the Federal False Claims Act, Medicare and Medicaid Anti-Kickback provisions, and other health care fraud provisions, leading to the possibility of greatly increased qui tam suits by relators for perceived violations. Violations or allegations of violations of the foregoing restrictions could materially and adversely affect our business.
 
We may be required to report detailed pricing information, net of included discounts, rebates and other concessions, to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) for the purpose of calculating national reimbursement levels, certain federal prices and certain federal and state rebate obligations. We will need to establish systems for collecting and reporting this data accurately to CMS and institute a compliance program to assure that the information collected is complete in all respects. If we report pricing information that is not accurate to the federal government, we could be subject to fines and other sanctions that could adversely affect their business.
 
If we choose to pursue clinical development and commercialization in the European Union or otherwise market and sell our products outside of the United States, we must obtain and maintain regulatory approvals and comply with regulatory requirements in such jurisdictions. The approval procedures vary among countries in complexity and timing. We may not obtain approvals from regulatory authorities outside the United States on a timely basis, if at all, which would preclude us from commercializing products in those markets. In addition, some countries, particularly the countries of the European Union, regulate the pricing of prescription pharmaceuticals. In these countries, pricing discussions with governmental authorities can take considerable time after the receipt of marketing approval for a product. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be required to conduct a clinical trial that compares the cost-effectiveness of their product candidate to other available therapies. Such trials may be time-consuming and expensive, and may not show an advantage in efficacy for our products. If reimbursement of our products is unavailable or limited in scope or amount, or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels, in either the United States or the European Union, we could be adversely affected. Also, under the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, referred to as FCPA, the United States has increasingly focused on regulating the conduct by United States businesses occurring outside of the United States, generally prohibiting remuneration to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.

To enhance compliance with applicable health care laws, and mitigate potential liability in the event of noncompliance, regulatory authorities, such as the United States Health and Human Services Department Office of Inspector General (“OIG”), have recommended the adoption and implementation of a comprehensive health care compliance program that generally contains the elements of an effective compliance and ethics program described in Section 882.1 of the United States Sentencing Commission Guidelines Manual. Increasing numbers of United States-based pharmaceutical companies have such programs. In the future, we may need to adopt U.S. healthcare compliance and ethics programs that would incorporate the OIG's recommendations, and train our applicable U.S. employees in such compliance. Such a program may be expensive and may not assure that we will avoid compliance issues.
 
Our manufacturing processes are complex and involve biological intermediates that are susceptible to contamination.

Plasma is a raw material that is susceptible to damage and contamination and may contain human pathogens, any of which would render the plasma unsuitable as raw material for further manufacturing. For instance, improper storage of plasma, by us or third-party suppliers, may require us to destroy some of our raw material. If unsuitable plasma is not identified and discarded prior to the release of the plasma to the manufacturing process, it may be necessary to discard intermediate or finished product made from that plasma or to recall any finished product released to the market, resulting in a charge to cost of goods sold.

The manufacture of our plasma products is an extremely complex process of fractionation, purification, filling and finishing. Although we and our contract manufacturers attempt to maintain high standards for product testing, manufacturing, process controls and quality assurance, our products can become non-releasable or otherwise fail to meet our stringent specifications through a failure of one or more of these processes. Extensive testing is performed throughout the process to ensure the safety and effectiveness of our products. We may, however, detect instances in which an unreleased product was produced without adherence to our manufacturing procedures or plasma used in our production process was not collected or stored in a compliant manner consistent with our current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) or other regulations. Such an event of noncompliance would likely result in our determination that the implicated products should not be released and therefore should be destroyed.

Once manufactured, our plasma-derived products must be handled carefully and kept at appropriate temperatures. Our failure, or the failure of third parties that supply, ship or distribute our products, to properly care for our products may require that those products be destroyed.

While we expect to write off small amounts of work-in-progress in the ordinary course of business due to the complex nature of plasma, our processes and our products, unanticipated events may lead to write-offs and other costs materially in excess of our expectations and the reserves we have established for these purposes. Such write-offs and other costs could cause material fluctuations in our profitability. Furthermore, contamination of our products could cause investors, consumers, or other third parties with whom we conduct business to lose confidence in the reliability of our manufacturing procedures, which could adversely affect our sales and profits. In addition, faulty or contaminated products that are unknowingly distributed could result in patient harm, threaten the reputation of our products and expose us to product liability damages and claims from companies for whom we do contract manufacturing.
 
Our ability to continue to produce safe and effective products depends on the safety of our plasma supply against transmittable diseases.
 
Despite overlapping safeguards including the screening of donors and other steps to remove or inactivate viruses and other infectious disease causing agents, the risk of transmissible disease through blood plasma products cannot be entirely eliminated. For example, since plasma-derived therapeutics involve the use and purification of human plasma, there has been concern raised about the risk of transmitting HIV, prions, West Nile virus, H1N1 virus or “swine flu” and other blood-borne pathogens through plasma-derived products. There are also concerns about the future transmission of H5N1 virus, or “bird flu.” In the 1980s, thousands of hemophiliacs worldwide were infected with HIV through the use of contaminated Factor VIII. Bayer and other producers of Factor VIII, though not us, are defendants in numerous lawsuits resulting from these infections.
 
New infectious diseases emerge in the human population from time to time. If a new infectious disease has a period during which time the causative agent is present in the bloodstream but symptoms are not present, it is possible that plasma donations could be contaminated by that infectious agent. Typically, early in an outbreak of a new disease, tests for the causative agent do not exist. During this early phase, we must rely on screening of donors (e.g., for behavioral risk factors or physical symptoms) to reduce the risk of plasma contamination. Screening methods are generally less sensitive and specific than a direct test as a means of identifying potentially contaminated plasma units.
 
During the early phase of an outbreak of a new infectious disease, our ability to manufacture safe products would depend on the manufacturing process' capacity to inactivate or remove the infectious agent. To the extent that a product's manufacturing process is inadequate to inactivate or remove an infectious agent, our ability to manufacture and distribute that product would be impaired.
 
If a new infectious disease were to emerge in the human population, the regulatory and public health authorities could impose precautions to limit the transmission of the disease that would impair our ability to procure plasma, manufacture our products or both. Such precautionary measures could be taken before there is conclusive medical or scientific evidence that a disease poses a risk for plasma-derived products.
 
 
25

 
 
In recent years, new testing and viral inactivation methods have been developed that more effectively detect and inactivate infectious viruses in collected plasma. There can be no assurance, however, that such new testing and inactivation methods will adequately screen for, and inactivate, infectious agents in the plasma used in the production of our products.
 
We could become supply-constrained and our financial performance would suffer if we could not obtain adequate quantities of FDA-approved source plasma.

In order for plasma to be used in the manufacturing of our products, the individual centers at which the plasma is collected must be licensed by the FDA, and approved by the regulatory authorities of any country in which we may wish to commercialize our products. When a new plasma center is opened, and on an ongoing basis after licensure, it must be inspected by the FDA for compliance with cGMP and other regulatory requirements. An unsatisfactory inspection could prevent a new center from being licensed or risk the suspension or revocation of an existing license.  We do not and will not have adequate source plasma to manufacture RI-001.  Therefore, we are reliant on purchasing normal source plasma to manufacture RI-001.  We can give no assurances that normal source plasma will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

In order to maintain a plasma center's license, its operations must continue to conform to cGMP and other regulatory requirements. In the event that we determine that plasma was not collected in compliance with cGMP, we may be unable to use and may ultimately destroy plasma collected from that center, which would be recorded as a charge to cost of goods. Additionally, if non-compliance in the plasma collection process is identified after the impacted plasma has been pooled with compliant plasma from other sources, entire plasma pools, in-process intermediate materials and final products could be impacted. Consequently, we could experience significant inventory impairment provisions and write-offs which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

We plan to increase our supplies of plasma for use in the manufacturing processes through increased collections at our existing and possible future plasma collection centers. This strategy is dependent upon our ability to successfully integrate develop new centers, to obtain FDA approval for any unlicensed plasma centers, to maintain a cGMP compliant environment in all plasma centers and to expand production and attract donors to our centers.

There is no assurance that the FDA will inspect and license our unlicensed plasma collection centers in a timely manner consistent with our production plans. If we misjudge the readiness of a center for an FDA inspection, we may lose credibility with the FDA and cause the FDA to more closely examine all of our operations. Such additional scrutiny could materially hamper our operations and our ability to increase plasma collections.

Our ability to expand production and increase our plasma collection centers to more efficient production levels may be affected by changes in the economic environment and population in selected regions where ADMA BioCenters  operates its current or future plasma centers, by the entry of competitive plasma centers into regions where ADMA BioCenters operates such centers, by misjudging the demographic potential of individual regions where ADMA BioCenters expects to expand production and attract new donors, by unexpected facility related challenges, or by unexpected management challenges at selected plasma centers.

Our ability to generate product revenues will be diminished if our products sell for inadequate prices or patients are unable to obtain adequate levels of reimbursement .  
 
Our ability to commercialize our products, alone or with collaborators, will depend in part on the extent to which reimbursement will be available from:
 
 --
government and health administration authorities;
 --
private health maintenance organizations and health insurers; and
 --
other healthcare payers.
 
Significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. Healthcare payers, including Medicare, are challenging the prices charged for medical products and services. Government and other healthcare payers increasingly attempt to contain healthcare costs by limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement for products. Even if one of our product candidates is approved by the FDA, insurance coverage may not be available, and reimbursement levels may be inadequate, to cover such product. If government and other healthcare payers do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement levels for one of our products, once approved, market acceptance of such product could be reduced.
 
Prices in many countries, including many in Europe, are subject to local regulation and certain pharmaceutical products, such as plasma-derived products, are subject to price controls in several of the world’s principal markets, including many countries within the European Union. In the United States, where pricing levels for our products are substantially established by third-party payors, if payors reduce the amount of reimbursement for a product, it may cause groups or individuals dispensing the product to discontinue administration of the product, to administer lower doses, to substitute lower cost products or to seek additional price-related concessions. These actions could have a negative effect on financial results, particularly in cases where our products command a premium price in the marketplace, or where changes in reimbursement induce a shift in the site of treatment. The existence of direct and indirect price controls and pressures over our products could materially adversely affect our financial prospects and performance.

The implementation of the 2010 health care reform law in the United States may adversely affect our business.
 
Through the March 2010 adoption of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the companion Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act in the United States, which together are referred to as the “healthcare reform law,” substantial changes are being made to the current system for paying for healthcare in the United States, including programs to extend medical benefits to millions of individuals who currently lack insurance coverage. The changes contemplated by the health care reform law are subject to rule-making and implementation timelines that extend for several years, and this uncertainty limits our ability to forecast changes that may occur in the future. However, implementation has already begun with respect to certain significant cost-saving measures under the healthcare reform law, for example with respect to several government healthcare programs that may cover the cost of our future products, including Medicaid, Medicare Parts B and D, and these efforts could have a materially adverse impact on our future financial prospects and performance.
 
For example, with respect to Medicaid, in order for a manufacturer's products to be reimbursed by federal funding under Medicaid, the manufacturer must enter into a Medicaid rebate agreement with the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and pay certain rebates to the states based on utilization data provided by each state to the manufacturer and to CMS, and pricing data provided by the manufacturer to the federal government. The states share this savings with the federal government, and sometimes implement their own additional supplemental rebate programs. Under the Medicaid drug rebate program, the rebate amount for most branded drug products was previously equal to a minimum of 15.1% of the Average Manufacturer Price, which is referred to as AMP, or AMP less Best Price, which is referred to as AMP less BP, whichever is greater. Effective January 1, 2010, the healthcare reform law generally increases the size of the Medicaid rebates paid by manufacturers for single source and innovator multiple source (brand name) drug product from a minimum of 15.1% to a minimum of 23.1% of the AMP, subject to certain exceptions, for example, for certain clotting factors, the increase is limited to a minimum of 17.1% of the AMP. For non-innovator multiple source (generic) products, the rebate percentage is increased from a minimum of 11.0% to a minimum of 13.0% of AMP. In 2010, the healthcare reform law also newly extended this rebate obligation to prescription drugs covered by Medicaid managed care organizations. These increases in required rebates may adversely affect our future financial prospects and performance.
 
The healthcare reform law also creates new rebate obligations for our products under Medicare Part D, a partial, voluntary prescription drug benefit created by the United States federal government primarily for persons 65 years old and over. The Part D drug program is administered through private insurers that contract with CMS. Beginning in 2011, the healthcare reform law generally requires that in order for a drug manufacturer's products to be reimbursed under Medicare Part D, the manufacturer must enter into a Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program agreement with the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and reimburse each Medicare Part D plan sponsor an amount equal to 50% savings for the manufacturer's brand name drugs and biologics which the Part D plan sponsor has provided to its Medicare Part D beneficiaries who are in the “donut hole” (or a gap in Medicare Part D coverage for beneficiaries who have expended certain amounts for drugs). The Part D plan sponsor is responsible for calculating and providing the discount directly to its beneficiaries and for reporting these amounts paid to CMS's contractor, which notifies drug manufacturers of the rebate amounts it must pay to each Part D plan sponsor. The rebate requirement could adversely affect our future financial performance, particularly if contracts with Part D plans cannot be favorably renegotiated or the Part D plan sponsors fail to accurately calculate payments due in a manner that overstates our rebate obligation.
 
The healthcare reform law also introduced a biosimilar pathway that will permit companies to obtain FDA approval of generic versions of existing biologics based upon reduced documentation and data requirements deemed sufficient to demonstrate safety and efficacy than are required for the pioneer biologics. The new law provides that a biosimilar application may be submitted as soon as 4 years after the reference product is first licensed, and that the FDA may not make approval of an application effective until 12 years after the reference product was first licensed. With the likely introduction of biosimilars in the United States, we expect in the future to face greater competition from biosimilar products, including a possible increase in patent challenges. The FDA has reported meeting with sponsors who are interested in developing biosimilar products, and is developing regulations to implement the abbreviated regulatory review pathway.
 
Regarding access to our products, the healthcare reform law established and provided significant funding for a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to coordinate and fund Comparative Effectiveness Research (“CER”). While the stated intent of CER is to develop information to guide providers to the most efficacious therapies, outcomes of CER could influence the reimbursement or coverage for therapies that are determined to be less cost-effective than others. Should any of our products be determined to be less cost-effective than alternative therapies, the levels of reimbursement for these products, or the willingness to reimburse at all, could be impacted, which could materially impact our future financial prospects and results.

Developments in the economy may adversely impact our business.

The difficult economic environment may adversely affect demand for our products. RI-001, our current product candidate, is expected to be sold to hospitals and clinicians in the U.S. As a result of loss of jobs, patients may lose medical insurance and be unable to purchase supply or may be unable to pay their share of deductibles or co-payments. RI-001 will be sold primarily to hospitals and specialty pharmacies. Hospitals adversely affected by the economy may steer patients to less costly therapies, resulting in a reduction in demand, or demand may shift to public health hospitals, which may purchase at a lower government price. While to date we cannot directly trace any material reduction in demand to the recession, if economic conditions do not improve, the impact may become material.

Risks Relating to our Securities
 
  We cannot assure you that our Common Stock will be publicly traded or that an active market for our shares will develop.
 
We are obligated to file the Investor Registration Statement covering the resale of the shares issued in the Merger in exchange for the shares sold in the PIPE, among other securities.  We are also obligated to qualify the Common Stock for quotation on the OTCBB or another over-the-counter quotation system.  However, we cannot assure you that when or if the Investor Registration Statement will be declared effective or when or if the Common Stock will qualify for quotation on an electronic trading platform, that the shares of Common Stock will continue to be quoted on such trading platform or when or if an active trading market for the shares of Common Stock will develop or can be sustained.   An investor may find it difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of his securities on the OTCBB. Securities listed on the OTCBB may be subject to an SEC rule that imposes various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling such securities, which may further limit its liquidity. If applicable, this could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.
 
The securities issued in the Merger are “restricted securities” of a former “shell company” and, as such, may not be sold except in limited circumstances.
 
None of the shares of Common Stock or options, warrants or other rights issued in the Merger or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, warrants or other rights (collectively, the “ParentCo Securities”) were, at the time of the Merger, registered under the Securities Act, or registered or qualified under any state securities laws. The ParentCo Securities will be sold and/or issued pursuant to exemptions contained in and under those laws. Accordingly, the ParentCo Securities are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and must, therefore, be held unless registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, or an exemption from the registration requirements of those laws is available. The certificates representing the ParentCo Securities  contain legends reflecting their restricted status.
 
Although we will be required to register for resale the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger in exchange for the shares issued in the PIPE, we cannot assure you that the SEC will declare the registration statement effective, thereby enabling such shares of Common Stock to be freely tradable.

Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which permits the resale, subject to various terms and conditions, of limited amounts of restricted securities after they have been held for six months will not immediately apply to the Common Stock because ParentCo is designated as a former “shell company” under SEC regulations. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the date on which the issuer filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it ceased being a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the issuer has satisfied certain reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Because ParentCo will be a former shell company, the reporting requirements of Rule 144(i) will apply regardless of holding period, and the restrictive legends on certificates for the shares of Common Stock issued to investors in connection with the Offering and the Merger cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale that is subject to an effective registration statement under, or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of, the Securities Act.

We will incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, which could harm our operating results.

As a public company after the Merger, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements. We will also incur substantial expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the registration statement and responding to SEC comments in connection with its review of the registration statement. We also incur costs associated with current corporate governance requirements, including requirements under Section 404 and other provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules implemented by the SEC or any stock exchange or quotation system on which Common Stock may be listed in the future. The expenses incurred by public companies for reporting and corporate governance purposes have increased dramatically in recent years. We expect these rules and regulations to substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We are unable to currently estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. We also expect these new rules and regulations may make it difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and if we are able to obtain such insurance, we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage available to privately-held companies. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as our executive officers.
 
 
28

 
 
If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us.
 
Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that will need to be evaluated frequently. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires public companies to conduct an annual review and evaluation of their internal controls and attestations of the effectiveness of internal controls by independent auditors (the latter requirement does not apply to smaller reporting companies - we initially expect to qualify as a smaller reporting company). Our failure to maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business. We could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the price of Common Stock.  See “- Risks Relating to Our Business - Our independent registered public accounting firm has identified material weaknesses in our financial reporting process .”  In addition, if our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
 
Additional risks may exist as a result of our having become a public reporting company through a “reverse merger.” Security analysts of major brokerage firms may not cover us or our stock. Because we became public through a reverse merger, there may be less incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our Common Stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to provide analyst coverage of us or our stock in the future, which may result in less liquidity and lower trading prices for our stockholders.
 
We are subject to Sarbanes-Oxley and the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and time-consuming.
 
We are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securities laws. The costs of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC, and furnishing audited reports to stockholders, will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we had remained privately held and did not consummate the Merger.
 
We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock and do not intend to do so for the foreseeable future.

We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock and we do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends on our Common Stock for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, any return on an investment in our Common Stock will be realized, if at all, only when you sell shares of our Common Stock.  In addition, our failure to pay dividends may make our stock less attractive to investors, adversely impacting trading volume and price.

Recently adopted SEC rules prohibit a reverse merger company from listing on a national securities exchange until the company has been in the U.S. over-the-counter market or on another regulated U.S. or foreign exchange for at least one complete fiscal year.

Recently adopted SEC rules seek to improve the reliability of the reported financial results of reverse merger companies by requiring a pre-listing “seasoning period” during which the post-merger public company must produce financial and other information in connection with its required SEC filings. The company also must maintain a requisite minimum share price for at least 30 of the most recent 60 trading days prior to the date of the initial listing application and the date of listing on any national securities exchange.  By virtue of such rules it is unlikely that we will be eligible to list on a national securities exchange for at least one year following the Merger, and only if our stock trades above the requisite minimum price in accordance with the listing requirements of the applicable national securities exchange.

A significant portion of the total outstanding shares of ParentCo’s Common Stock may be sold into the public market in the near future, which could cause the market price to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
 
We expect to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger in exchange for the shares issued in the PIPE (as well as the shares of Common Stock owned by ParentCo’s pre-Merger stockholders and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to the placement agent in the Merger in exchange for the Placement Agent Warrants). Once these shares are registered, they can be freely sold in the public market.   Sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public market or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of Common Stock.
 
 
29

 
 
We also intend to register all shares of Common Stock that we may issue under our company’s equity incentive plan.  Once we register and issue these shares, they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance.

We are controlled by our current officers, directors and principal stockholders.
 
Our directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially own approximately 73.54% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.  In addition, Burrill and Ayer capital, two principal stockholders, beneficially own 885,417 and 364,585 shares of Common Stock, respectively (19.02% and 7.83%).  See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.” Burrill has designated Bryant Fong as a member of our board of directors.  Burrill will be entitled to designate one member to our board of directors for as long as it owns 50% of the shares of Common Stock that it received in the Merger in exchange for the shares of common stock that it owned immediately following the PIPE.  Accordingly, our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders will have substantial influence over, and may have the ability to control, the election of our board of directors and the outcome of issues submitted to a vote of our stockholders.

Because it may be considered a “penny stock,” you may have difficulty selling shares of our Common Stock.
 
Under certain circumstances, if the trading price for common stock that does not trade on an exchange drops below $5.00 per share, it could be considered a “penny stock.”  In such case, it will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, broker-dealers who recommend penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. The broker-dealer must make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser, considering such purchaser’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives, with respect to penny stock transactions and receive the purchaser’s written consent prior to the transaction. Our Common Stock may be considered a “penny stock” if our stock price drops below $5.00 per share and we do not meet certain net asset or revenue thresholds. These thresholds include the possession of net tangible assets (i.e., total assets less intangible assets and liabilities) in excess of $2,000,000 in the event we have been operating for at least three years or $5,000,000 in the event we have been operating for fewer than three years, and the recognition of average revenues equal to at least $6,000,000 for each of the last three years.

The penny stock rules severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market, and many brokers choose not to participate in penny stock transactions. As a result, there is generally less trading in penny stocks. If you become a holder of our Common Stock, you may not always be able to resell shares of our Common Stock publicly at the time and prices that you feel are fair or appropriate.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
 
This discussion, which refers to the historical results of Former ADMA, should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Memorandum, including “Risk Factors,” “Business” and the financial statements. The various sections of this discussion contain a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout the Memorandum. See “Important Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially.

Overview

ADMA’s mission is to develop and commercialize plasma-derived, human immune globulins targeted at niche patient populations, some with unmet medical needs.  These patient populations include those who may be naturally or medically immunocompromised, the elderly, and prematurely born infants.

ADMA’s lead product candidate, RI-001, is a plasma-derived, polyclonal, Intravenous Immune Globulin with standardized high levels of antibodies against RSV.  RI-001 was the subject of a Phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trial in RSV-infected, immunocompromised patients.  RI-001 demonstrated it could produce a statistically significant rise in patient RSV titers as compared to placebo.  ADMA is currently preparing to conduct a pivotal Phase III clinical trial for RI-001 in order to gain FDA approval of RI-001 for the treatment of patients with primary immunodeficiency disease.

ADMA has contracts in place for plasma sourcing and manufacturing services.  Additionally, the Company is partially vertically integrated through its operation of ADMA BioCenters, a wholly-owned subsidiary and FDA-licensed source plasma collection facility.  ADMA BioCenters collects source plasma that may be manufactured into finished goods by third-party manufacturers or sold in the open market. ADMA also has contracts in place for testing services and for other consulting and operational activities.

As a development stage enterprise, ADMA’s primary efforts are devoted to conducting research and development of plasma-derived, human immune globulins for the treatment of specific disease states.  ADMA has limited capital resources, has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future.  We have incurred losses in every year of our existence and have generated limited product revenues from the sale of plasma collected by ADMA BioCenters after September 30, 2011.  Unless and until we receive approval from the FDA and other regulatory authorities for our RI-001 product candidate, we will be unable to sell and generate revenues from that product. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, we will have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the limited revenues that may be generated by the sale of plasma collected by our plasma collection facility, as well as cash on hand and potential future capital raises.  We cannot offer any assurances that the net proceeds from the PIPE will be sufficient to enable us to complete the FDA approval process for our RI-001 product candidate.

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses declined from $1,652,477 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $443,188 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Research and development expenses consist of consulting expenses relating to regulatory affairs, quality control and manufacturing, assay development and ongoing testing costs, clinical trial costs and fees, drug product manufacturing including the cost of plasma, plasma storage and transportation costs, as well as wages and benefits for staff directly related to the research and development of RI-001.

Research and development expenses declined in the comparable nine-month period from 2010 to 2011, because ADMA had an ongoing Phase II trial that was completed in 2010 but did not have an ongoing clinical trial in 2011.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred a loss on sale of research and development inventory of $1,934,630 because we disposed of our inventory of high priced, high titer plasma that we previously acquired to conduct research and development for a second product. We subsequently abandoned this research program due to a lack of capital and sold the high titer plasma to  generate additional funds to continue operations.

Plasma center operating expenses

Plasma center operating expenses declined from $1,484,802 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $1,191,243 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Plasma center operating expenses consist of general and administrative overhead including rent, maintenance and utilities, wages and benefits for center staff, plasma collection supplies, plasma transportation and storage (off-site) and computer software fees directly related to donor collections.  Plasma center expenses declined because the rate of donor collections in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was lower than in the comparable period of 2010; however, donor collections increased after FDA approval of our plasma center in August 2011. We expect that as plasma collection increases, our plasma center operating expenses will also increase accordingly.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses declined from $1,138,921 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $932,248 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  General and administrative expenses consist of rent, maintenance and utilities, insurance, wages and benefits for senior management and staff unrelated to research and development, professional fees for our attorneys, accountants and auditors, information technology, travel and other expenses related to the general operations of the business.  General and administrative expenses declined because of staff reductions, wage reductions and general expense reductions due to cash constraints.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses and loss from operations increased from $4,276,200 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $4,501,309 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of the loss on sale of research and development inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, partially offset by the reduction of research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, and plasma center operation expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest income/ expense

We had interest income of $1,212 and $9,473 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and interest expense of $769,342 and $448,337 on loans from related parties accrued during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  All but $250,000 in principal amount of those loans was converted or repaid after September 30, 2011, with the remaining $250,000 (plus $12,740 in accrued interest) invested in the PIPE.

Income Taxes

In January 2011, we received approximately $321,000 from the sale of our 2010 State of New Jersey net operating losses.  These losses were sold through the NJ EDA Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program.

Net Loss

Net loss increased from $4,715,064 to $4,948,674 from the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to September 30, 2011.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses declined from $3,867,644 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $2,193,838 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Research and development expenses consist of consulting expenses relating to regulatory affairs, quality control and manufacturing, assay development and ongoing testing costs, clinical trial costs and fees, drug product manufacturing including the cost of raw material (high titer rsv plasma), plasma storage and transportation costs, as well as wages and benefits for staff directly related to the R&D of RI-001.  Research and development expenses declined from 2009 to 2010 because of a reduction in manufacturing expenses during 2010 as we had sufficient clinical trial drug on hand to complete the Phase II trial. Clinical trial expenses were also reduced in 2010 due to the closing of trial enrollment.

Plasma center operating expenses

Plasma Center operating expenses declined from $2,472,330 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $1,876,644 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Plasma center operating expenses consist of general and administrative overhead including rent, maintenance and utilities, wages and benefits for center staff, plasma collection supplies, plasma transportation and storage (off-site), computer software fee’s directly related to donor collections.  These expenses declined in 2010 because the rate of plasma collections was reduced pending FDA approval of the center.  The company received FDA approval of its plasma center in August 2011.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses declined from $1,441,204 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $1,425,951 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  General and administrative expenses consist of rent, maintenance and utilities, insurance, wages and benefits for senior management and staff unrelated to R&D, professional fees for our attorneys, accountants and auditors, information technology, travel and other expenses related to the general operations of the business.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses and loss from operations declined from $7,781,178 to $5,496,433 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of reduced research and development expenses relating to RI-001, and a reduction in plasma center operating expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest income/expense

We had interest income of $10,235 during the year ended December 31, 2010 as a result of on hand cash balances receiving interest.  Incurred interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $705,993 which was an increase from $100,126 incurred during the year ended December 31, 2009. Most of this increase was the result of increased borrowing on loans from related parties.  All but $250,000 in principal amount of those loans was converted or repaid after September 30, 2011, with the remaining $250,000 (plus $12,740 in accrued interest) invested in the PIPE.

Net loss

Net loss declined from $7,829,021 to $5,947,712 from the year ended December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,417,549 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The net loss for this period is higher than net cash used in operating activities by $3,531,125, which was primarily due to the loss on sale of research and development inventory, an increase in non-cash interest expense and a decrease in inventories.   Net cash used in operating activities was $4,218,364 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which was $496,700 lower than net loss for that period, primarily due to an increase in non-cash interest expense, partially offset by an increase in inventories.

Net cash used in operating activities was $4,812,998 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 is higher than cash used in operating activities by $1,134,714 due to an increase in accounts payable and non-cash interest expense attributable to the convertible notes offset in part by increases in inventory and decreases in accrued expenses. Net cash used in operating activities was $8,349,595 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 is less than cash used in operating activities by $520,574 which is attributable to the reduction of accrued expenses offset in part by non-cash depreciation expense.

Net Cash Used in/Provided by Investing Activities

No cash was used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Minimal cash was used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have had no revenue from operations and we have incurred cumulative losses of $28,853,229 since inception.  We have funded our operations to date primarily from equity investments and loans from our primary stockholders.

We received net cash proceeds of approximately $15.2 million in the PIPE, after the payment of all expenses related to the PIPE and the Merger, including legal, accounting, printing, travel, the Placement Agent’s cash fee and expense reimbursement and miscellaneous, and not including in such proceeds the secured promissory notes that were satisfied in exchange for shares of Former ADMA’s common stock in the PIPE.  We currently believe that this amount, together with our existing cash, would be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses, research and development expenses and capital expenditures through the third quarter of 2013.  If our assumptions underlying our estimated expenses prove to be wrong, we may have to raise additional capital sooner than anticipated.  Because of numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the research, development and future commercialization of our product candidate, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our anticipated clinical trials and development activities.  Our current estimates may be subject to change as circumstances regarding requirements further develop.

We may need to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements.  We do not have any existing commitments for future external funding.  We may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a bank credit facility.  The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if convertible, could result in dilution to our stockholders.  The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could also result in covenants that would restrict our operations.

Additional equity or debt financing, grants, or corporate collaboration and potential licensing arrangements may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.  If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate our research and development programs, reduce our planned clinical trials and inhibit potential commercialization efforts of our lead product candidate.

As of September 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $9.9 million, consisting of approximately $0.9 million in accounts payable, $0.3 million in accrued expenses, $1.2 million in accrued interest and $8.5 million in notes payable to related parties, offset by approximately $1.1 million in current assets.

We have been approved by the NJ EDA for 2011 as a qualifying small business under the technology business tax benefit transfer certificate program and have received $617,615 from the sale of our 2011 State of New Jersey net operating losses.  We cannot make assurances that we will qualify under this program in future years, or even that the program will exist in future years.
 
In 2010, we were awarded a one-time credit of $244,479 from the U.S. Government Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project (QTDP) program.  The QTDP arose under Section 48D of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), enacted as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-148). The credit is and was a tax benefit targeted to therapeutic discovery projects that show a reasonable potential to, result in new therapies to treat areas of unmet medical need or prevent, detect or treat chronic or acute diseases and conditions, reduce the long-term growth of health care costs in the United States, or significantly advance the goal of curing cancer within 30 years.   The QTDP funds were used by us to offset the costs of research and development and other company expenses.

For a description of our leasehold improvement loan and standby letter of credit relating to our plasma collection center in Georgia, please see “Note 3 - Leasehold Improvement Loan” and “Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Previous Debt Financings

For a description of Former ADMA’s notes, please see “ Recent Financings - Note Financings .”

Future Financing Needs

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital, to fund our research and development and commercial programs and meet our obligations on a timely basis.   The net proceeds from the PIPE are expected to be used to  test plasma donors for RSV titers, collect and procure plasma, manufacture drug product, conduct clinical trial(s), and the remainder  for payment of existing accounts payable, general and administrative expenses as well as other business activities and general corporate purposes, including for the payment of accrued expenses, premiums for directors’ and officers’ insurance and for the repayment of amounts owed to related parties as described under “Related Party Transactions.”   We cannot assure you that the net proceeds from the PIPE will be sufficient to enable us to complete the FDA approval process for our RI-001 product candidate.  If we are unable to successfully raise sufficient additional capital, we will likely not have sufficient cash flow and liquidity to fund our business operations, forcing us to curtail our activities and, ultimately, potentially cease operations.  Even if we are able to raise additional capital, such financings may only be available on unattractive terms, or could result in significant dilution of stockholders’ interests and, in such event, the value and potential future market price of the Common Stock may decline.
 
 
34

 
 
We currently do not have arrangements to obtain additional financing.  Any such financing could be difficult to obtain or only available on unattractive terms and could result in significant dilution of stockholders’ interests.  Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business plan and financial performance and could delay, discontinue or prevent product development and clinical trial activities or the approval of any our potential products. In addition, we could be forced to reduce or forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractive business opportunities.

Financial markets in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia continue to experience disruption, including, among other things, significant volatility in security prices, declining valuations of certain investments, as well as severely diminished liquidity and credit availability. Business activity across a wide range of industries and regions continues to be greatly reduced and local governments and many businesses are still suffering from the lack of consumer spending and the lack of liquidity in the credit markets.  The continued instability in the credit and financial market conditions may negatively impact our ability to access capital and credit markets and our ability to manage our cash balance. While we are unable to predict the continued duration and severity of the adverse conditions in the United States and other countries, any of the circumstances mentioned above could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow or cash position.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, require estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Some of these estimates require difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the estimation processes involved, the following summarized accounting policies and their application are considered to be critical to understanding our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred including plasma and equipment for which there is no alternative future use. Such expenses include costs associated with planning and conducting clinical trials.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include valuation of inventory, assumptions used in the fair value of stock-based compensation, and the allowance for the valuation of future tax
benefits.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements except that the Company is currently obligated under a ten-year lease agreement for the plasma collection facility it operates in Norcross, Georgia.  There is a total minimum rent due under the lease of $1,142,138 through the end of the lease term in September 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued certain accounting pronouncements as of September 30, 2011 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, we do not believe that any of those pronouncements would have significantly affected our financial accounting measurements or disclosures had they been in effect during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 or that they will have a significant impact at the time they become effective.

Director Independence
 
We are not currently a “listed company” under SEC rules and are therefore not required to have a Board comprising a majority of independent directors or separate committees comprised of independent directors.   We use the definition of “independence” under Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, as applicable and as may be modified or supplemented from time to time and the interpretations thereunder, to determine if the members of our Board are independent.  In making this determination, our Board considers, among other things, transactions and relationships between each director and his immediate family and the Company, including those reported in this Report under the caption “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”  The purpose of this review is to determine whether any such relationships or transactions are material and, therefore, inconsistent with a determination that the directors are independent.  On the basis of such review and its understanding of such relationships and transactions, our Board is expected to determine that three of our Board members, Mr. Richman, Dr. Goldstein and Mr. Fong, are independent directors.

Audit Committee

The primary functions of the Audit Committee are to: review the professional services and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm and our accounts, procedures and internal controls; appoint (subject to stockholder approval) the firm selected to be our independent registered public accounting firm; review and approve the scope of the annual audit; review and evaluate with the independent public accounting firm our annual audit and annual consolidated financial statements; review with management the status of internal accounting controls; evaluate problem areas having a potential financial impact on us that may be brought to the Audit Committee’s attention by management, the independent registered public accounting firm or the board of directors; and evaluate all of our public financial reporting documents.
 
 
The members of our Audit Committee are Eric Richman (Chair), Dov Goldstein and Bryant Fong.   Each committee member is expected to meet the independence criteria for directors set forth under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and the additional independence criteria for members of audit committees specified in Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act of 1934.  Each member of our Audit Committee is financially literate under the definition of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules.  Our Board is expected to determine that Mr. Richman, the chairman of the Audit Committee, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined by SEC rules.

Executive Compensation, and Director Nomination and Corporate Governance Function

We do not have a compensation committee or a nominating and corporate governance committee and the functions customarily delegated to such committees will be performed by our independent directors.  In addition, we do not have any charter that relates to the functions traditionally performed by such committees.  Our board of directors  is expected to appoint an a compensation committee and nominating and governance committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee, in the future.

Employment Agreement with Executive

President and Chief Executive Officer

As of the date of the consummation of the Merger, ADMA entered into a new employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer, Adam S. Grossman, which has an initial term of three (3) years, with automatic three (3) year renewal periods unless notice is provided 90 days in advance.  The employment agreement provides that Mr. Grossman (i) will initially be paid $350,000 annually beginning on the date on which the Merger closed (the “Effective Date”); (ii) is eligible for an annual cash bonus, the target of which is $100,000, based upon the attainment of certain performance objectives mutually agreed to by the Board of Directors and Mr. Grossman;  (iii) was to be granted on the Effective Date options to purchase shares of Common Stock representing 4% of the Company’s equity on a fully diluted basis (options to purchase 212,134 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $9.60 were granted pursuant to this provision) and (iv) is eligible to participate in the Company's standard benefits package.  All options granted to Mr. Grossman were issued under the Company’s stock option plan and vest over a four year period, with 25% of the options vesting on the Effective Date, and the remaining 75% vesting in equal monthly installments over the following 48 months of continued employment (full vesting on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date), subject to accelerated vesting (i) upon a “change of control” (as defined in the agreement) of the Company of all options if Mr. Grossman is terminated by the Company or its successor for any reason other than cause or by Mr. Grossman for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement) immediately preceding or within two years thereafter and (ii) of that portion of the options that would have vested over the one year period following the date of termination upon a termination of employment by the Company without cause or by Mr. Grossman for good reason or as a result of death or disability.  Mr. Grossman also received a bonus in connection with his 2011 performance, including in connection with the PIPE and Merger, of $50,000 on the date on which the Merger closed.  ADMA is obligated to reimburse Mr. Grossman for up to $10,000 in legal expenses incurred in connection with the employment agreement.

The employment agreement also provides that Mr. Grossman cannot, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, provide services to any person or entity which competes with the Company, unless he obtains the Company's prior written consent for a period of 12 months following his termination.

The employment agreement furthermore provides that, in the event (i) that Mr. Grossman is terminated by the Company “without cause” (as such term is defined under the employment agreement), (ii) that Mr. Grossman resigns for “good reason” (as such term is defined under the employment agreement), or (iii) of any termination resulting from a “change of control” (as defined in the agreement) in which the existing employment agreement is not assumed by the successor to the Company, he would be entitled to (A) a severance payment equal to one year base salary payable in 12 monthly, equal installments after termination (lump sum if immediately preceding or within 24 months of a change of control), (B) prior year bonus (if unpaid)  and a pro rata bonus for year of termination (calculated as if 50% of the target had been met for the year of termination) and (C) one year of additional vestings on equity incentives then granted to Mr. Grossman or all remaining vestings if such termination is immediately preceding or within 2 years following a change of control.

2007 Stock Option Plan

In July of 2007, Former ADMA’s stockholders approved the 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan (as amended, the “2007 Plan”) which provides for the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options to our officers and employees. Additionally, the 2007 Plan authorizes the granting of non-qualified stock options to our directors and to any independent consultants.  The Board of Directors in conjunction with management determines who receives awards, the vesting conditions of which are generally four years, and the exercise price of which may be no less than the fair market value of the Common Stock.  Options may have a maximum term of no more than 10 years.  Net issue exercise of options is permitted with the consent of the Board.  ParentCo assumed the 2007 Plan in the Merger.

After an increase in authorized shares under the 2007 Plan in connection with the Merger, ADMA currently has options to purchase 295,515 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding under the 2007 Plan and has reserved for future issuance under the 2007 Plan an additional 265,685 shares of Common Stock.

Director Compensation

It has been ADMA’s policy to pay Mr. Richman $2,000 per Board meeting attended.  On February 8, 2008, ADMA granted Mr. Richman options to purchase 2,205 shares at an exercise price of $3.40, which vest over four years.  On January 22, 2009, ADMA granted Mr. Richman options to purchase 3,677 shares at an exercise price of $1.71, which were fully vested on the date of grant.  Exercise price and number of shares underlying the options have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split.

Dr. Grossman , Mr. Grossman, Mr. Elms and Dr. Goldstein have not been paid any compensation for their services on the Board of ADMA.  They have been, and will continue to be, reimbursed for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by them in connection with travel to and from Board and committee meetings.  Such reimbursements did not amount to $8,000 or more for any one of them in 2010.
Following the Merger, ADMA expects to pay its non-executive Vice-Chairman, Dr. Jerrold B. Grossman, annual director fees of $50,000, subject to an additional payment of $25,000 per year at the discretion of the Board.  In addition, the Company may begin paying director fees and providing stock option grants to some or all of the remaining non-management directors commensurate with similarly situated companies.

The sole director of ParentCo, Mr. Arnold P. Kling, did not receive any compensation from ParentCo during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011.

Code of Ethics

ADMA has a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the “Code”) that applies to all directors, officers and employees, which will be posted on its website or can be obtained by writing to ADMA Biologics, Inc., 65 Commerce Way, Hackensack, NJ 07601 , c/o Corporate Secretary.  All of our directors, officers and employees are expected to be familiar with the Code and to adhere to those principles and procedures set forth in the Code that apply to them.  The Company will post any amendments to the Code, as well as any waivers that are required to be disclosed by the rules of the SEC, on the Company’s web site.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

In July 2007, Aisling, LP, Hariden and Maggro purchased 2,888,446, 298,805 and 199,203 shares of Former ADMA’s Series A Preferred Stock, respectively, for $5.02 per share.  In connection with this transaction, the parties entered into a series of agreements, including a voting agreement (governing the election of directors and increases in authorized common stock), an investors’ rights agreement (governing the registration of shares of common stock and common stock underlying Series A Preferred Stock and options) and a right of first refusal and co-sale agreement (pursuant to which Hariden and Maggro granted rights of first refusal to ADMA and Aisling in case of certain share transfers by them).  In connection with this transaction, and subsequent transactions, the Company reimbursed Aisling for certain legal fees in connection therewith.  The managing members of the control person of Aisling include our director Steven Elms.  Our director Jerrold B. Grossman is the managing member of Maggro.  Our President and Chief Executive Officer Adam S. Grossman is the managing member of Hariden.

Such warrants vested immediately.

In December 2011, all then-outstanding senior secured convertible promissory notes were converted into 4,835,224 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with their terms.  No such notes remain outstanding.  Senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 were repaid prior to the Merger.  The remaining senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (plus $12,740 in accrued interest)   were invested in the PIPE by the holders of the notes in exchange for shares of Former ADMA’s common stock.  No such notes remain outstanding.  The warrants have been exercised for shares of common stock and no warrants remain outstanding.

The description of the terms of such notes and warrants is incorporated herein by reference to “Recent Financings - Note Financings.”

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
Sales of unregistered securities by Former ADMA since January 1, 2008 are described in the section “Recent Financings” above.
 
Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered
 
ADMA is authorized by its certificate of incorporation to issue an aggregate of 85,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 75,000,000 are shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $.0001 per share.

ADMA currently has 4,654,303 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and an additional 383,380 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants.  In addition, ADMA has reserved for future issuance under the 2007 Plan an additional 265,685 shares of Common Stock.  See “Executive Compensation - 2007 Stock Option Plan” above for further information.  

Of the 4,654,303 shares issued and outstanding, 53,033 shares of Common Stock are held by the pre-Merger stockholders of ParentCo and the remaining 4,601,270 shares are held by stockholders of Former ADMA, including the investors in the PIPE.   Of the 383,380 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants, 289,045 shares are issuable to officers and directors of ADMA, 6,470 shares are issuable to other employees of ADMA and 87,865 are issuable to the Placement Agent.

The following summary of certain provisions of our capital stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by our Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws and by the provisions of applicable law.
 
 
43

 
 
Common Stock

All outstanding shares of Common Stock are of the same class and have equal rights and attributes. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company.  The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders for the transaction of any business.  Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Any other action is authorized by a majority of the votes cast, except where the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) prescribes a different percentage of votes and/or a different exercise of voting power.

All stockholders are entitled to share equally in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available. In the event of liquidation, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities. The holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative or preemptive rights.

Preferred Stock

No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding, and we have no current plans to issue preferred stock.  The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase preferred stock, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For example, a business combination could be impeded by the issuance of a series of preferred stock containing class voting rights that would enable the holder or holders of such series to block any such transaction. Alternatively, a business combination could be facilitated by the issuance of a series of preferred stock having sufficient voting rights to provide a required percentage vote of our shareholders. In addition, under some circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock. Although prior to issuing any series of preferred stock our board is required to make a determination as to whether the issuance is in the best interests of our stockholders, our board could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which our stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over prevailing market prices of such stock. Our board of directors does not presently intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized preferred stock, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements.

Warrants
 
Warrants to purchase 87,865 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $9.60 per share are currently outstanding.  These warrants were issued to the Placement Agent in the Merger in exchange for the Placement Agent Warrants, which in turn were issued by Former ADMA as additional compensation for the Placement Agent’s services in the PIPE.  The warrants are exercisable at any time beginning on August 11, 2012 and ending on February 13, 2017.  The warrants permit cashless exercise if at the time of the exercise an effective registration statement is not available for the resale of the underlying shares.  Cashless exercise means that in lieu of paying the aggregate purchase price for the shares being purchased upon exercise of the warrants in cash, the holder will forfeit a number of shares underlying the warrants with a “fair market value” equal to the aggregate exercise price.  We will not receive additional proceeds to the extent that warrants are exercised on a cashless basis.  The exercise price and number of shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend or stock split, certain rights offerings, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.  The warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership blocker, meaning that they may not be exercised, to the extent that after giving effect to the issuance of the underlying shares, the holder of the warrants (together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
 
Registration Rights

In connection with the PIPE and the Merger, ParentCo agreed, pursuant to a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), to register on a registration statement (the “Investor Registration Statement”) the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued prior to the filing of the Investor Registration Statement, including the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger in exchange for the shares of common stock issued in the PIPE and the shares of Common Stock owned by ParentCo’s pre-Merger stockholders, as well as the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to the placement agent in the Merger in exchange for the Placement Agent Warrants.   The description of the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement is incorporated herein by reference to “Recent Financings - PIPE Transaction.”

Transfer Agent

Our board of directors has appointed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, 8 th Floor, New York, NY 10004, as the transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock.  We will serve as warrant agent for the outstanding warrants.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director is personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director. Nonetheless, a director is liable to the extent provided by applicable law, (i) for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock purchase or redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Company, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided in our certificate of incorporation, will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DGCL. No amendment to or repeal of the relevant article of our certificate of incorporation will apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Company for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment.

Our certificate of incorporation furthermore states that the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, each person that such section grants the Company the power to indemnify.

Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (“The Merger,” “Recent Financings - PIPE Financing” and “-Issuance of Common Stock in the Merger”), which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.01
Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
 
On February 13, 2012, our board of directors dismissed Sherb & Co, LLP (“Sherb”) as our independent registered public accounting firm. Our board of directors immediately engaged J. H. Cohn LLP (“J.H. Cohn”) as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of February 13, 2012.  J.H. Cohn was the independent registered public accounting firm of Former ADMA prior to the Merger and, given that our sole line of business is conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, our board of directors concluded that J. H. Cohn should serve as our independent registered public accounting firm.  As described under “Risk Factors - Our independent registered public accounting firm has identified material weaknesses in our financial reporting process,” J.H. Cohn has identified material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting of ADMA.
 
Sherb’s report on ParentCo’s financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
 
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the subsequent interim period, there were no: (i) disagreements with Sherb on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Sherb, would have caused Sherb to make reference to the matter in their report, or (ii) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the subsequent interim period, neither R&R Acquisition VI, Inc. nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted J.H. Cohn regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Report of Independent  Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Stockholders
ADMA Biologics, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ADMA Biologics, Inc. and Subsidiary (A Development Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from June 24, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with  the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ADMA Biologics, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and their results of operations and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from June 24, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that ADMA Biologics, Inc. and Subsidiary will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has no revenue, and has a working capital and stockholders' deficiency. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters also are described in Note 1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ADMA BIOLOGICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
 
(a development stage enterprise)
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
 
1.
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
ADMA Biologics, Inc. (the “Company”), a development stage enterprise, was incorporated on July 9, 2007, in the State of Delaware.  On July 16, 2007, the Company, formerly named ADMA Temp, Inc., entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Agreement”) with ADMA Biologics, Inc. (“ADMA NJ”), which was incorporated on June 24, 2004 in the State of New Jersey.  ADMA NJ was a development stage company engaged in developing and commercializing human plasma-derived products, with its first and second product being a human immunoglobulin.  As of January 2008, one of these products has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to commence Phase II clinical trials.
 
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of ADMA NJ.  In connection with the merger, the Company subsequently changed its name to ADMA Biologics, Inc. and increased its authorized common stock to 6,500,000 shares and its authorized preferred stock to 3,400,000 shares. Under the terms of the Agreement, the stockholders of ADMA NJ exchanged all of their issued and outstanding shares of common stock for 351,535 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Exchange”).
 
The 351,535 shares of common stock represented 100% of the ownership interests in the Company following the merger. The Exchange resulted in the stockholders of ADMA NJ having control of the Company, representing a recapitalization of the Company, or a “reverse merger” rather than a business combination.
 
In connection therewith, the Company’s historical capital accounts were retroactively adjusted to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued by the Company in the Exchange while ADMA NJ’s historical accumulated deficit was carried forward. The statement of operations reflects the activities of ADMA NJ from the commencement of its operations on June 24, 2004.
 
On April 3, 2008, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, ADMA Biologics Centers of Georgia, for the purpose of operating plasma collection centers.  The subsidiary is a Delaware corporation operating in Georgia.
 
As a development stage enterprise, the Company's primary efforts are devoted to conducting research and development of human plasma-derived products for the treatment of specific disease states. As the Company has limited capital resources and has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future, the Company has needed to raise capital from the sales of its securities to sustain operations. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010 are not sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company will be required to obtain loans or raise additional funds to meet long-term obligations and continue operations. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available at all, can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company.
 
In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that the Company's research and development will be successfully completed or that any product will be approved or commercially viable. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, dependence on collaborative arrangements, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with FDA and other governmental regulations and approval requirements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following comprises the Company's significant accounting policies:
 
Basis of presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ADMA Biologics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary ADMA Biologics Centers of Georgia. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's financial statements are presented as statements of a development stage enterprise. The Company's primary operations since inception have been devoted to the research and development of human plasma-derived products. No operating revenue has been generated. As a result, the financial statements are presented in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.
 
 
F-7

 
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly-liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Inventories
 
Plasma inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market value determined on the first-in, first-out method.  Physical inventories are conducted at the end of each year and perpetual records are adjusted accordingly.  Once the plasma is processed to a finished good for ongoing trials it is then expensed to research and development. Inventory at December 31, 2010 and 2009 consists of raw materials.
 
Research and development costs
 
The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred including plasma and equipment for which there is no alternative future use. Such expenses include licensing fees and costs associated with planning and conducting clinical trials.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include valuation of inventory, assumptions used in the fair value of stock-based compensation, and the allowance for the valuation of future tax benefits.
 
Concentration of credit risk
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents.   At December 31, 2010, the Company maintained balances over the FDIC limit by approximately $230,000.
 
Property and equipment
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset's estimated useful life, which is five to ten years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or their estimated useful lives.
 
Income taxes
 
From June 24, 2004 to July 16, 2007, the Company elected to be taxed as an S corporation for both Federal and State income tax reporting purposes.  Accordingly, the taxable income or loss related to that period was includable in the personal income tax returns of the stockholders.
 
Effective July 16, 2007, the Company was merged into a C corporation and adopted guidance issued for Accounting for Income Taxes which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will not be realized.
 
The Company adopted the new accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes on January 1, 2007. The adoption of that guidance did not result in the recognition of any unrecognized tax benefits and the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company's U.S. Federal and state income tax returns prior to fiscal year 2007 are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.
 
The Company will recognize interest and penalties associated with tax matters as income tax expense.
 
 
F-8

 
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Net loss per share is determined in accordance with the two-class method.  This method is used for computing basic net loss per share when companies have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the Company.  Under the two-class method, net loss is allocated between common shares and other participating securities based on their participation rights in both distributed and undistributed earnings.  The Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock are participating securities, since the stockholders are entitled to share in dividends declared by the board of directors with the common stock based on their equivalent common shares.
 
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Because the holders of the Series A convertible Preferred Stock are not contractually required to share in the Company’s losses, in applying the two-class method to compute basic net loss per common share no allocation to preferred stock was made for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, if any, by the weighted average number of common stock and dilutive common stock outstanding during the period.  Potential common shares include the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and a warrant (using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (using the more dilutive of the (a) as converted method or (b) the two –class method).  Potential common shares in the diluted net loss per share computation are excluded to the extent that they would be anti-dilutive.  No potentially dilutive securities are included in the computation of any diluted per share amounts as the Company reported a net loss for all periods presented.  Potentially dilutive securities that would be issued upon conversion of convertible notes, conversion of Series A convertible preferred stock, and the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options were 1.8 million and 1.4 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
The Company follows recognized accounting guidance which requires all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the Statement of Operations as compensation expense, based on their fair values on the grant date. The estimated fair value of options granted under the Company’s 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) are recognized as compensation expense over the option-vesting period.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense to employees and a consultant of $34,809.
 
The fair value of employee options granted was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of publicly traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. Because there is no public market for the Company's stock and very little historical experience with the Company's stock options, a small similar publicly traded company was used for comparison and expectations as to assumptions required for fair value computation using the Black-Scholes methodology. Accordingly, the Company's stock price volatility is expected to be 72% and the expected term of options outstanding is 6.25 years. For options granted in 2008, the Company used a risk-free interest rate of 3.364% which corresponded to the expected term on the date of grant for each option contract. The Company's dividend yield has been assumed at 0% as the Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
Guidance for stock-based compensation requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company currently estimates there will be no forfeitures of options.
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable are shown at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Subsequent events
 
The Company evaluated subsequent events through December 9, 2011, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, except for the matters discussed in Note 11, which are as of February 13, 2012.
 
In February, May, June, and August 2011, the Company received an aggregate of $1,100,000 of additional funding for operations from stockholders under terms substantially similar to previous convertible loan agreements. In September and October 2011, the Company received an aggregate of $200,000 from the issuance of nonconvertible notes to stockholders with a stated interest rate of 18% and a December 31, 2011 maturity date;  these notes were repaid in October 2011.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
The Company was originally organized as an S corporation and issued 15 shares of stock at a par value of $.07 each. On July 16, 2007, the Company merged into a C corporation and, concurrent with this election, each of the shares of stock of the terminating S corporation converted into 23,435.67 shares of common stock of the C corporation, resulting in a total of 351,535 shares outstanding. Since the shareholders of the S corporation became the majority shareholders of the C corporation, this was accounted for as a reverse merger.  Accordingly, the pre-merger financial statements of the S corporation have become the historical financial statements of the C corporation.
 
Upon conversion of the Company from an S corporation to a C corporation, the Company increased its authorized common stock to 6,500,000 shares with a par value of $.001 per share and authorized 3,400,000 shares of Series A preferred (Series A shares), with a par value of $.001 per share. On July 17, 2007, the Company completed a private placement and raised gross proceeds of $17,000,000 from the sale of 3,386,454 Series A convertible preferred shares at a sale price of $5.02 per share.
 
The Series A Preferred Shares have the following rights and preferences:
 
Dividends
 
From and after the date of their issuance, dividends at the rate per annum of $0.3514 per share shall accrue on Series A Preferred shares.  The Company is under no obligation to pay such accruing dividends.  However, dividends on the Preferred Shares shall be cumulative from the date of issuance and shall be paid before any dividends on shares of any other class of stock of the Company.  No such dividends were declared prior to December 31, 2010.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, $4,117,726 and $2,927,726, respectively, in dividends had accumulated on the Series A shares.
 
Conversion
 
The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have the right to convert their shares to common stock at any time at an initial conversion price of $34.14 per share.  In certain situations, the Preferred Shares are protected from dilution by future issuances of common stock at less than the Series A Preferred Share conversion price.  At December 31, 2010, the conversion price was $25.30 per share under these anti-dilution provisions.
 
 
F-11

 
 
The Company is required, at all times, to reserve a sufficient number of shares of common stock to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock.
 
Liquidation preference
 
Upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of the Series A shares are entitled to be paid an amount per share equal to the Series A Original Issue Price ($5.02 per share) plus the cumulative unpaid dividends and any other dividends declared but unpaid.
 
Voting
 
The stockholders of the Series A Preferred Shares vote together with all other classes of stock as a single class on matters presented to the stockholders of the Company. Each holder of Series A Preferred Shares is entitled to a number of votes (one vote) equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the Series A Preferred Shares of such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders to vote on such matters, except with respect to certain corporate actions, which require a fifty percent (50%) approval of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares. The holders of record of the Series A shares, as a separate class, are entitled to elect two directors of the five-member Board of the Company.  One of the two “Series A Directors” shall serve as Chairman of the Board.  The holders of record of the common stock are also entitled to elect two directors.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Company leases an office building and equipment from an entity owned by related parties on a month-to-month basis.  Rent expense amounted to $96,539 and $82,104 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
The Company maintains deposits and other accounts at a bank which is less than 5%-owned by related parties and where a stockholder is a member of the Board of Directors of the bank.
 
The Company owes $7,300,000 to existing common and preferred stockholders under senior secured convertible promissory notes and nonconvertible promissory notes at December 31, 2010.  Interest in the amount of $650,301 and $87,534 has been accrued on these notes as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Subsequent to the year end, there were additional borrowings of $1,300,000 from the Company’s existing common and preferred stockholders.

STOCK OPTIONS
 
On July 16, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), the Company's Board and stockholders adopted the 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted as a means of attracting, motivating, and retaining the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility within the Company. Under the Plan, the initial maximum number of options to acquire shares of the Company's common stock that were available for issuance to Optionees was 94,853.
 
The Plan provides for the Board or a Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) to grant Awards to Optionees and to determine the exercise price, vesting term, expiration date and all other terms and conditions of the Awards, including acceleration of the vesting of an Award at any time. All options granted under the Plan are intended to be non-qualified options (“NQO”) unless specified by the Committee to be incentive stock options (“ISO”), as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. NQOs may be granted to employees, consultants or Board members at an option price not less than the fair market value of the common stock subject to the Stock Option Agreement.
 
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were 11,471 options available for grant under the Plan.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
In December 2011, the corporate charter was amended to increase the authorized capital from 6,500,000 to 16,800,000 common shares and from 3,400,000 to 8,221,678 preferred shares.

Subsequent to September 30, 2011, we issued additional notes to significant stockholders and raised $300,000, and notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 were repaid.

On December 22, 2011, $8,150,000 of notes payable to significant stockholders plus accrued interest were converted to Series A Preferred Stock at a conversion rate of $13.5224 per share resulting in the issuance of 4,835,224 additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The note holders also exercised 57,342 warrants in a cashless transaction for 57,054 shares of common stock and cancelled warrants for an additional 586 shares of common stock. The due date on all remaining notes payable to significant stockholders was extended from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012.

In January 2012, the Company received $617,615 in net proceeds from the sale of NJ net operating losses through the NJ EDA Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program.

On February 13, 2012, in connection with, and immediately prior to the closing of the Merger (as defined below), the Company completed a private placement (the “PIPE”) of 1,828,128 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $9.60 to accredited investors, for gross proceeds to the Company of $17,550,029 pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).    In lieu of repayment of senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (plus $12,740 in accrued interest), the aggregate amount of unpaid principal and interest on the notes was invested by the holders of such notes in the PIPE in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock.  The net cash proceeds from the PIPE, after the payment of all expenses related to the PIPE and the Merger, are approximately $15.2 million, not including in such proceeds the senior secured promissory notes that were satisfied in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock in the PIPE.

Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, for a period ending on the earlier to occur of (a) 18 months following the closing of the PIPE or (b) such date that R&R Acquisition VI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ParentCo”) has sold in one or more transactions (other than exempt issuances as defined in the agreement) securities having an aggregate purchase price of at least $5 million, if ParentCo sells any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents for a price less than $9.60 (a “Dilutive Issuance”), each PIPE investor will be given the right to subscribe, for $0.01 per share, for such number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the total subscription amount paid by the investor in the PIPE divided by the price per share of Common Stock paid (or payable per share of Common Stock in the case of Common Stock equivalents) by investors in connection with the Dilutive Issuance, less (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock purchased by such investor at the closing of the PIPE and any such additional shares of Common Stock acquired under this right. ParentCo must use commercially reasonable efforts to complete a financing transaction pursuant to which it would sell Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents resulting in gross proceeds of at least $5 million within 18 months of the closing of the PIPE (the “First Follow-On Financing”).

Burrill Capital Fund IV, LP (“Burrill”), Aisling Capital II, LP (“Aisling”), and Jerrold and Adam Grossman and their related entities (the “Grossman Group”), referred to as the “Lead Investors,” purchased 885,417, 458,334 and 114,584 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, for approximately $8,500,000, $4,400,000 and $1,100,000, respectively.   $262,740 in consideration paid by Aisling and the Grossman Group was in the form of secured promissory notes in lieu of cash.  The Company has agreed to reimburse the Lead Investors for their reasonable costs (including legal fees and expenses) up to a maximum of $70,000.   The Lead Investors, and the Company’s officers and directors, agreed not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of their Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock for a period of 180 days following the closing of the PIPE.  In addition, with respect to any Lead Investor, until such time that such Lead Investor owns less than 50% of the shares of Common Stock that it received in the Merger in exchange for the shares of common stock that it owned immediately following the closing of the PIPE, if the Company proposes to offer any shares of its equity securities, or securities or debentures exchangeable for or convertible into additional shares of its equity securities for the purpose of financing its business (other than shares issued to employees, directors and consultants in the form of stock or options, shares issued upon exercise, exchange or conversion of any securities issued in the PIPE or outstanding as of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, shares issued pursuant to strategic agreements, shares offered to the public pursuant to an underwritten public offering, or other customary exclusions), the Company will offer such Lead Investor the right to participate in any such offering on the same terms and conditions otherwise available to investors therein, to the extent of an amount at least equal to their beneficial ownership percentage at the time of such offer.

In the event ParentCo is unable to raise at least $5 million in the First Follow-On Financing, then Burrill, Aisling and the Grossman Group will subscribe to purchase $1.5 million, $2.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which amounts will decline proportionately if ParentCo raises more than $1 million in addition to the amounts contributed by such Lead Investors.

In connection with the PIPE and the Merger, ParentCo agreed, pursuant to a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), to register on a registration statement (the “Investor Registration Statement”) the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued prior to the filing of the Investor Registration Statement, including the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger in exchange for the shares of common stock issued in the PIPE and the shares of Common Stock owned by ParentCo’s pre-Merger stockholders, as well as the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to the placement agent in the Merger in exchange for the Placement Agent Warrants (as defined below).  The securities the resale of which is required to be registered on the Investor Registration Statement are referred to as the “Registrable Securities.”  To effect this registration, ParentCo is obligated to file the Investor Registration Statement with the SEC no later than 45 days following the completion of the Merger and the Investor Registration Statement shall be declared effective by the SEC within 180 days following the completion date of the Merger (240 days in case of a full review by the SEC).  If, among other events, the Investor Registration Statement is not filed within such 45-day period, is not declared effective within 180 days after the completion date of the Merger (240 days in the case of a full review by the SEC), or ceases to remain effective for more than 10 consecutive trading days or any 15 trading days during any 12-month period, ParentCo is required to pay in cash to the investors in the PIPE an amount per month equal to one percent of the investors’ subscription amount for Registrable Securities still held by the investors, until the Investor Registration Statement is filed, declared effective or continues to be effective (as the case may be).  This payment is subject to a maximum of (i) one percent of the investors’ subscription amount for Registrable Securities still held by the investors if ParentCo is diligently using its best efforts to have the Investor Registration Statement declared effective and the delays associated with the effectiveness of the Investor Registration Statement are the result of either continuing comments from or delays in reviewing by the SEC and (ii) ten percent of the investors’ subscription amount for Registrable Securities still held by the investors in all other cases.

If the SEC informs ParentCo that all of the securities required to be registered on the Investor Registration Statement cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, ParentCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the SEC, covering the maximum number of such securities permitted to be registered by the SEC.   In such case, ParentCo will not be required to make payments in cash to the investors in the PIPE with respect to securities exceeding such maximum number if the registration statement is not declared effective within the time periods listed above.

ParentCo agreed to make such filings as are necessary to keep the Investor Registration Statement effective until the date on which all of the Registrable Securities have been sold or are saleable pursuant to Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) or its other subsections (or any successor thereto) under the Securities Act.  ParentCo is obligated to bear registration expenses (exclusive of transfer taxes, underwriters' discounts and commission) of all such registrations required.

The stockholders of the Company also have registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options they hold, pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement.  They have agreed to waive their piggy back registration rights with respect to the Investor Registration Statement; however, they will be entitled to require the filing of a resale registration statement pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to cause securities to be delivered to non-affiliates without any restrictive legends if the resale of such securities has been registered, such securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or, in certain circumstances, if such securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144.  If the Company fails to do so, it is obligated to pay to the investor, for each $1,000 of shares, $1 per trading day, increasing to $2 per trading day five trading days after such damages have begun to accrue, until unrestricted certificates are delivered.  In addition, if the Company fails to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c), then the Company is obligated to pay to an investor, for any delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the securities, an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate subscription amount of such investor’s securities on the date of such current public information failure and on every 30th day thereafter (prorated for shorter periods) until the failure is cured or public information is no longer required for a Rule 144 sale.

Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the PIPE.  The Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee for its services equal to 7% of the aggregate offering price paid by each investor in the PIPE, other than with respect to certain investors.  As additional compensation, the Company issued the Placement Agent warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase 87,865 shares of common stock of the Company.  The Placement Agent Warrants, which were exchanged for warrants of ParentCo in the Merger, are exercisable at $9.60 per share of Common Stock at any time beginning on August 11, 2012 and ending on February 12, 2017.  The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for up to $100,000 of expenses it incurs in connection with the PIPE and to indemnify it against certain liabilities in connection with the PIPE.

On February 13, 2012, ParentCo entered into the a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with the Company and ADMA Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition Sub”).  Upon closing of the Merger, Acquisition Sub was merged with and into the Company, and the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo.  ParentCo’s corporate name was changed to ADMA Biologics, Inc. and the name of the Company was changed to ADMA Plasma Biologics, Inc.

In connection with the Merger and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement:

- all of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, including the common stock issued in the PIPE and including the shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock, which were converted into common stock immediately prior to and as part of the Merger, were automatically exchanged into 4,601,270 shares of common stock of ParentCo, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a 1:1 exchange ratio;

- all warrants, options and other rights to purchase or acquire shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, including the Placement Agent Warrants and including the additional options granted to Adam S. Grossman under his new employment agreement, were converted into warrants, options or other rights, as the case may be, to purchase an aggregate of 383,380 shares of Common Stock at the same exercise prices; and

- 2,446,967 of the 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock held by the stockholders of ParentCo immediately prior to the Merger were canceled such that these stockholders now hold 53,033 shares of Common Stock, not including the 87,865 shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants, held by an affiliate of one of such stockholders.

Immediately prior to the Merger and the transactions described above, (i) 3,386,454 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company were converted into 11,243,748 shares of the Company’s common stock after giving effect to cumulative anti-dilution adjustments and accrued dividends, and 4,835,224 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock issued in December 2011 upon the conversion of convertible notes were converted into an equal number of shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) the shares of common stock of the Company were reverse split at a ratio of 1-for-6.8 (the “Reverse Split”).  The consolidated financial statements were adjusted to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Split.

As part of the Merger, ParentCo assumed certain of the Company’s obligations under an investors’ rights agreement, dated July 17, 2007, by and among the Company and its stockholders (the “Investors’ Rights Agreement”), assumed the Company’s obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement, and assumed the Company’s 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan.

After an increase in authorized shares under the 2007 Plan in connection with the Merger, the Company currently has options to purchase 295,515 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding under the 2007 Plan and has reserved for future issuance under the 2007 Plan an additional 265,685 shares of Common Stock.

For accounting purposes, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with the Company as the accounting acquiror (legal acquiree) and ParentCo as the accounting acquiree (legal acquiror), effectively a recapitalization of the Company.

On February 13, 2012, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer, Adam S. Grossman, which has an initial term of three (3) years, with automatic three (3) year renewal periods unless notice is provided 90 days in advance.  The employment agreement provides that Mr. Grossman (i) will initially be paid $350,000 annually beginning on the date on which the Merger closed (the “Effective Date”); (ii) is eligible for an annual cash bonus, the target of which is $100,000, based upon the attainment of certain performance objectives mutually agreed to by the Board of Directors and Mr. Grossman;  (iii) was to be granted on the Effective Date options to purchase shares of Common Stock representing 4% of the Company’s equity on a fully diluted basis (options to purchase 212,134 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $9.60 were granted pursuant to this provision) and (iv) is eligible to participate in the Company's standard benefits package.  All options granted to Mr. Grossman were issued under the Company’s stock option plan and vest over a four year period, with 25% of the options vesting on the Effective Date, and the remaining 75% vesting in equal monthly installments over the following 48 months of continued employment (full vesting on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date), subject to accelerated vesting (i) upon a “change of control” (as defined in the agreement) of the Company of all options if Mr. Grossman is terminated by the Company or its successor for any reason other than cause or by Mr. Grossman for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement) immediately preceding or within two years thereafter and (ii) of that portion of the options that would have vested over the one year period following the date of termination upon a termination of employment by the Company without cause or by Mr. Grossman for good reason or as a result of death or disability.  Mr. Grossman also received a bonus in connection with his 2011 performance, including in connection with the PIPE and Merger, of $50,000 on the date on which the Merger closed.  The Company is obligated to reimburse Mr. Grossman for up to $10,000 in legal expenses incurred in connection with the employment agreement.

ADMA BIOLOGICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(a development stage enterprise)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010
 
1.
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
ADMA Biologics, Inc. (the “Company”), a development stage enterprise, was incorporated on July 9, 2007, in the State of Delaware.  On July 16, 2007, the Company, formerly named ADMA Temp, Inc., entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Agreement”) with ADMA Biologics, Inc. (“ADMA NJ”), which was incorporated on June 24, 2004 in the State of New Jersey.  ADMA NJ was a development stage company engaged in developing and commercializing human plasma-derived products, with its first and second product being a human immunoglobulin.  As of January 2008, one of these products has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to commence Phase II clinical trials.
 
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of ADMA NJ.  In connection with the merger, the Company subsequently changed its name to ADMA Biologics, Inc. and increased its authorized common stock to 6,500,000 shares and its authorized preferred stock to 3,400,000 shares. Under the terms of the Agreement, the stockholders of ADMA NJ exchanged all of their issued and outstanding shares of common stock for 351,535 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Exchange”).
 
The 351,535 shares of common stock represented 100% of the ownership interests in the Company following the merger. The Exchange resulted in the stockholders of ADMA NJ having control of the Company, representing a recapitalization of the Company, or a “reverse merger” rather than a business combination.
 
In connection therewith, the Company’s historical capital accounts were retroactively adjusted to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued by the Company in the Exchange while ADMA NJ’s historical accumulated deficit was carried forward. The statement of operations reflects the activities of ADMA NJ from the commencement of its operations on June 24, 2004.
 
On April 3, 2008, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, ADMA BioCenters Georgia, Inc., for the purpose of operating plasma collection centers.  The subsidiary is a Delaware corporation operating in Georgia.
 
As a development stage enterprise, the Company's primary efforts are devoted to conducting research and development of human plasma-derived products for the treatment of specific disease states. As the Company has limited capital resources and has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future, the Company has needed to raise capital from the sales of its securities to sustain operations. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had minimal cash. Management believes that cash on hand as of September 30, 2011 is not sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company will be required to obtain loans or raise additional funds to meet long-term obligations and continue operations. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available at all, can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company.
 
In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that the Company's research and development will be successfully completed or that any product will be approved or commercially viable. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, dependence on collaborative arrangements, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with FDA and other governmental regulations and approval requirements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following comprises the Company's significant accounting policies:
 
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ADMA Biologics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary ADMA BioCenters Georgia, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's financial statements are presented as statements of a development stage enterprise. The Company's primary operations since inception have been devoted to the research and development of human plasma-derived products. No operating revenue has been generated. As a result, the financial statements are presented in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.
 
 
F-6

 
 
The consolidated financial statements for the interim periods included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which in the opinion of management are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2011 and their results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting.  Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete annual financial statements have been condensed of omitted.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly-liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Inventories
 
Plasma inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market value determined on the first-in, first-out method.  Physical inventories are conducted at the end of each year and perpetual records are adjusted accordingly.  Once the plasma is processed to a finished good for ongoing trials it is then expensed to research and development. Inventory at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consists of raw materials.  Approximately 9,000 liters of plasma that had been purchased for use in research and development were sold in 2011, and the Company recorded a loss of $1,934,630.
 
Research and development costs
 
The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred including plasma and equipment for which there is no alternative future use. Such expenses include licensing fees and costs associated with planning and conducting clinical trials.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include valuation of inventory, assumptions used in the fair value of stock-based compensation, and the allowance for the valuation of future tax benefits.
 
Concentration of credit risk
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents.
 
Property and equipment
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset's estimated useful life, which is five to ten years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or their estimated useful lives.
 
Income taxes
 
From June 24, 2004 to July 16, 2007, the Company elected to be taxed as an S corporation for both Federal and State income tax reporting purposes.  Accordingly, the taxable income or loss related to that period was includable in the personal income tax returns of the stockholders.
 
Effective July 16, 2007, the Company was merged into a C corporation and adopted guidance issued for Accounting for Income Taxes which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will not be realized.
 
 
F-7

 
 
The Company adopted the new accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes on January 1, 2007. The adoption of that guidance did not result in the recognition of any unrecognized tax benefits and the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company's U.S. Federal and state income tax returns prior to fiscal year 2007 are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.
 
The Company will recognize interest and penalties associated with tax matters as income tax expense.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Net loss per share is determined in accordance with the two-class method.  This method is used for computing basic net loss per share when companies have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the Company.  Under the two-class method, net loss is allocated between common shares and other participating securities based on their participation rights in both distributed and undistributed earnings.  The Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock are participating securities, since the stockholders are entitled to share in dividends declared by the board of directors with the common stock based on their equivalent common shares.
 
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Because the holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock are not contractually required to share in the Company’s losses, in applying the two-class method to compute basic net loss per common share no allocation to preferred stock was made for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, if any, by the weighted average number of common stock and dilutive common stock outstanding during the period.  Potential common shares include the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and a warrant (using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (using the more dilutive of the (a) as converted method or (b) the two–class method).  Potential common shares in the diluted net loss per share computation are excluded to the extent that they would be anti-dilutive.  No potentially dilutive securities are included in the computation of any diluted per share amounts as the Company reported a net loss for all periods presented.  Potentially dilutive securities that would be issued upon conversion of convertible notes, conversion of Series A convertible preferred stock, and the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options, were 1.9 million and 1.7 million as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
The Company follows recognized accounting guidance which requires all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the Statement of Operations as compensation expense, based on their fair values on the grant date. The estimated fair value of options granted under the Company’s 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) are recognized as compensation expense over the option-vesting period.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense to employees and a consultant of $19,623 and $26,107, respectively.
 
The fair value of employee options granted was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of publicly traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. Because there is no public market for the Company's stock and very little historical experience with the Company's stock options, a small similar publicly traded company was used for comparison and expectations as to assumptions required for fair value computation using the Black-Scholes methodology. Accordingly, the Company's stock price volatility is expected to be 72% and the expected term of options outstanding is 6.25 years. For options granted in 2008, the Company used a risk-free interest rate of 3.364% which corresponded to the expected term on the date of grant for each option contract. The Company's dividend yield has been assumed at 0% as the Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
Guidance for stock-based compensation requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company currently estimates there will be no forfeitures of options.

Fair value of financial instruments
 
The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable are shown at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
 
Subsequent events
 
The Company evaluated subsequent events through February 13, 2012, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

5.
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
The Company was originally organized as an S corporation and issued 15 shares of stock at a par value of $.01 each. On July 16, 2007, the Company merged into a C corporation and, concurrent with this election, each of the shares of stock of the terminating S corporation converted into 23,435.67 shares of common stock of the C corporation, resulting in a total of 351,535 shares outstanding. Since the shareholders of the S corporation became the majority shareholders of the C corporation, this was accounted for as a reverse merger.  Accordingly, the pre-merger financial statements of the S corporation have become the historical financial statements of the C corporation.
 
Upon conversion of the Company from an S corporation to a C corporation, the Company increased its authorized common stock to 6,500,000 shares with a par value of $.001 per share and authorized 3,400,000 shares of Series A preferred (Series A shares), with a par value of $.001 per share. On July 17, 2007, the Company completed a private placement and raised gross proceeds of $17,000,000 from the sale of 3,386,454 Series A convertible preferred shares at a sale price of $5.02 per share.
 
The Series A Preferred Shares have the following rights and preferences:
 
Dividends
 
From and after the date of their issuance, dividends at the rate per annum of $0.3514 per share shall accrue on Series A Preferred shares.  The Company is under no obligation to pay such accruing dividends.  However, dividends on the Preferred Shares shall be cumulative from the date of issuance and shall be paid before any dividends on shares of any other class of stock of the Company.  No such dividends were declared prior to December 31, 2010.  As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $5,007,781 and $4,117,726, respectively, in dividends had accumulated on the Series A shares.
 
Conversion
 
The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have the right to convert their shares to common stock at any time at an initial conversion price of $34.14 per share.  In certain situations, the Preferred Shares are protected from dilution by future issuances of common stock at less than the Series A Preferred Share conversion price. At September 30, 2011, the conversion price was $24.55 per share under these anti-dilution provisions.
 
The Company is required, at all times, to reserve a sufficient number of shares of common stock to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock.
 
 
F-10

 
 
Liquidation preference
 
Upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of the Series A shares are entitled to be paid an amount per share equal to the Series A Original Issue Price ($5.02 per share) plus the cumulative unpaid dividends and any other dividends declared but unpaid.
 
Voting
 
The stockholders of the Series A Preferred Shares vote together with all other classes of stock as a single class on matters presented to the stockholders of the Company. Each holder of Series A Preferred Shares is entitled to a number of votes (one vote) equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the Series A Preferred Shares of such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders to vote on such matters, except with respect to certain corporate actions, which require a fifty percent (50%) approval of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares. The holders of record of the Series A shares, as a separate class, are entitled to elect two directors of the five-member Board of the Company.  One of the two “Series A Directors” shall serve as Chairman of the Board.  The holders of record of the common stock are also entitled to elect two directors.
 
6.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Company leases an office building and equipment from an entity owned by related parties on a month-to-month basis.  Rent expense amounted to $72,333 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
The Company maintains deposits and other accounts at a bank which is less than 5%-owned by related parties and where a stockholder is a member of the Board of Directors of the bank.
 
The Company owes $8,500,000 to existing common and preferred stockholders under senior secured convertible promissory notes and nonconvertible promissory notes at September 30, 2011.  Interest in the amount of $1,225,474 and $650,301 has been accrued on these notes as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  Subsequent to September 30, 2011, there were additional borrowings of $100,000 from the Company’s existing common and preferred stockholders and the Company repaid $200,000 of borrowings with interest.
 
7.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Lease commitments
 
Effective June 1, 2008, the Company entered into a 10-year lease for a Georgia warehouse building, commencing October 1, 2008. The lease provides for annual rent increases and renewal options at market rent.  Rent expense under this lease was $108,000 and $110,736 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Future minimum lease payments for each of the five years ending December 31 and thereafter are as follows:

Irrevocable letter of credit
 
On May 27, 2008, the Company established a $426,963 Standby Letter of Credit in favor of a landlord to guarantee payment under a building lease. The landlord granted a temporary reduction of $90,000 in the amount of the required letter of credit. This reduction is valid until the Company receives FDA license for its plasma collection center in Georgia and begins to receive proceeds from the sale of plasma collected from the center.  This license was granted by the FDA in August 2011 and the company is in the process of restoring the letter of credit when sale proceeds are received.  The entire amount under this letter of credit is maintained in a restricted cash account as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  The letter of credit expires on September 30, 2018.

9.            SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In December 2011, the corporate charter was amended to increase the authorized capital from 6,500,000 to 16,800,000 common shares and from 3,400,000 to 8,221,678 preferred shares.

On December 22, 2011, $8,150,000 of notes payable to significant stockholders plus accrued interest were converted to Series A Preferred Stock at a conversion rate of $13.5224 per share resulting in the issuance of 4,835,224 additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The note holders also exercised 57,342 warrants in a cashless transaction for 57,054 shares of common stock and cancelled warrants for an additional 586 shares of common stock. The due date on all remaining notes payable to significant stockholders was extended from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012.

In January 2012, the Company received $617,615 in net proceeds from the sale of NJ net operating losses through the NJ EDA Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program.

On February 13, 2012, in connection with, and immediately prior to the closing of the Merger (as defined below), the Company completed a private placement (the “PIPE”) of 1,828,128 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $9.60 to accredited investors, for gross proceeds to the Company of $17,550,029 pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).    In lieu of repayment of senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (plus $12,740 in accrued interest), the aggregate amount of unpaid principal and interest on the notes was invested by the holders of such notes in the PIPE in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock.  The net cash proceeds from the PIPE, after the payment of all expenses related to the PIPE and the Merger, are approximately $15.2 million, not including in such proceeds the senior secured promissory notes that were satisfied in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock in the PIPE.

Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, for a period ending on the earlier to occur of (a) 18 months following the closing of the PIPE or (b) such date that R&R Acquisition VI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ParentCo”) has sold in one or more transactions (other than exempt issuances as defined in the agreement) securities having an aggregate purchase price of at least $5 million, if ParentCo sells any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents for a price less than $9.60 (a “Dilutive Issuance”), each PIPE investor will be given the right to subscribe, for $0.01 per share, for such number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the total subscription amount paid by the investor in the PIPE divided by the price per share of Common Stock paid (or payable per share of Common Stock in the case of Common Stock equivalents) by investors in connection with the Dilutive Issuance, less (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock purchased by such investor at the closing of the PIPE and any such additional shares of Common Stock acquired under this right. ParentCo must use commercially reasonable efforts to complete a financing transaction pursuant to which it would sell Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents resulting in gross proceeds of at least $5 million within 18 months of the closing of the PIPE (the “First Follow-On Financing”).

Burrill Capital Fund IV, LP (“Burrill”), Aisling Capital II, LP (“Aisling”), and Jerrold and Adam Grossman and their related entities (the “Grossman Group”), referred to as the “Lead Investors,” purchased 885,417, 458,334 and 114,584 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, for approximately $8,500,000, $4,400,000 and $1,100,000, respectively.   $262,740 in consideration paid by Aisling and the Grossman Group was in the form of secured promissory notes in lieu of cash.  The Company has agreed to reimburse the Lead Investors for their reasonable costs (including legal fees and expenses) up to a maximum of $70,000.   The Lead Investors, and the Company’s officers and directors, agreed not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of their Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock for a period of 180 days following the closing of the PIPE.  In addition, with respect to any Lead Investor, until such time that such Lead Investor owns less than 50% of the shares of Common Stock that it received in the Merger in exchange for the shares of common stock that it owned immediately following the closing of the PIPE, if the Company proposes to offer any shares of its equity securities, or securities or debentures exchangeable for or convertible into additional shares of its equity securities for the purpose of financing its business (other than shares issued to employees, directors and consultants in the form of stock or options, shares issued upon exercise, exchange or conversion of any securities issued in the PIPE or outstanding as of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, shares issued pursuant to strategic agreements, shares offered to the public pursuant to an underwritten public offering, or other customary exclusions), the Company will offer such Lead Investor the right to participate in any such offering on the same terms and conditions otherwise available to investors therein, to the extent of an amount at least equal to their beneficial ownership percentage at the time of such offer.

In the event ParentCo is unable to raise at least $5 million in the First Follow-On Financing, then Burrill, Aisling and the Grossman Group will subscribe to purchase $1.5 million, $2.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which amounts will decline proportionately if ParentCo raises more than $1 million in addition to the amounts contributed by such Lead Investors.

In connection with the PIPE and the Merger, ParentCo agreed, pursuant to a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), to register on a registration statement (the “Investor Registration Statement”) the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued prior to the filing of the Investor Registration Statement, including the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger in exchange for the shares of common stock issued in the PIPE and the shares of Common Stock owned by ParentCo’s pre-Merger stockholders, as well as the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to the placement agent in the Merger in exchange for the Placement Agent Warrants (as defined below).  The securities the resale of which is required to be registered on the Investor Registration Statement are referred to as the “Registrable Securities.”  To effect this registration, ParentCo is obligated to file the Investor Registration Statement with the SEC no later than 45 days following the completion of the Merger and the Investor Registration Statement shall be declared effective by the SEC within 180 days following the completion date of the Merger (240 days in case of a full review by the SEC).  If, among other events, the Investor Registration Statement is not filed within such 45-day period, is not declared effective within 180 days after the completion date of the Merger (240 days in the case of a full review by the SEC), or ceases to remain effective for more than 10 consecutive trading days or any 15 trading days during any 12-month period, ParentCo is required to pay in cash to the investors in the PIPE an amount per month equal to one percent of the investors’ subscription amount for Registrable Securities still held by the investors, until the Investor Registration Statement is filed, declared effective or continues to be effective (as the case may be).  This payment is subject to a maximum of (i) one percent of the investors’ subscription amount for Registrable Securities still held by the investors if ParentCo is diligently using its best efforts to have the Investor Registration Statement declared effective and the delays associated with the effectiveness of the Investor Registration Statement are the result of either continuing comments from or delays in reviewing by the SEC and (ii) ten percent of the investors’ subscription amount for Registrable Securities still held by the investors in all other cases.

If the SEC informs ParentCo that all of the securities required to be registered on the Investor Registration Statement cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, ParentCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the SEC, covering the maximum number of such securities permitted to be registered by the SEC.   In such case, ParentCo will not be required to make payments in cash to the investors in the PIPE with respect to securities exceeding such maximum number if the registration statement is not declared effective within the time periods listed above.

ParentCo agreed to make such filings as are necessary to keep the Investor Registration Statement effective until the date on which all of the Registrable Securities have been sold or are saleable pursuant to Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) or its other subsections (or any successor thereto) under the Securities Act.  ParentCo is obligated to bear registration expenses (exclusive of transfer taxes, underwriters' discounts and commission) of all such registrations required.

The stockholders of the Company also have registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options they hold, pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement.  They have agreed to waive their piggy back registration rights with respect to the Investor Registration Statement; however, they will be entitled to require the filing of a resale registration statement pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to cause securities to be delivered to non-affiliates without any restrictive legends if the resale of such securities has been registered, such securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or, in certain circumstances, if such securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144.  If the Company fails to do so, it is obligated to pay to the investor, for each $1,000 of shares, $1 per trading day, increasing to $2 per trading day five trading days after such damages have begun to accrue, until unrestricted certificates are delivered.  In addition, if the Company fails to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c), then the Company is obligated to pay to an investor, for any delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the securities, an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate subscription amount of such investor’s securities on the date of such current public information failure and on every 30th day thereafter (prorated for shorter periods) until the failure is cured or public information is no longer required for a Rule 144 sale.

Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the PIPE.  The Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee for its services equal to 7% of the aggregate offering price paid by each investor in the PIPE, other than with respect to certain investors.  As additional compensation, the Company issued the Placement Agent warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase 87,865 shares of common stock of the Company.  The Placement Agent Warrants, which were exchanged for warrants of ParentCo in the Merger, are exercisable at $9.60 per share of Common Stock at any time beginning on August 11, 2012 and ending on February 13, 2017.  The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for up to $100,000 of expenses it incurs in connection with the PIPE and to indemnify it against certain liabilities in connection with the PIPE.

On February 13, 2012, ParentCo entered into the a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with the Company and ADMA Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition Sub”).  Upon closing of the Merger, Acquisition Sub was merged with and into the Company, and the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo.  ParentCo’s corporate name was changed to ADMA Biologics, Inc. and the name of the Company was changed to ADMA Plasma Biologics, Inc.

In connection with the Merger and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement:

- all of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, including the common stock issued in the PIPE and including the shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock, which were converted into common stock immediately prior to and as part of the Merger, were automatically exchanged into 4,601,270 shares of common stock of ParentCo, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a 1:1 exchange ratio;

- all warrants, options and other rights to purchase or acquire shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, including the Placement Agent Warrants and including the additional options granted to Adam S. Grossman under his new employment agreement, were converted into warrants, options or other rights, as the case may be, to purchase an aggregate of 383,380 shares of Common Stock at the same exercise prices; and

- 2,446,967 of the 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock held by the stockholders of ParentCo immediately prior to the Merger were canceled such that these stockholders now hold 53,033 shares of Common Stock, not including the 87,865 shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants, held by an affiliate of one of such stockholders.

Immediately prior to the Merger and the transactions described above, (i) 3,386,454 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company were converted into 11,243,748 shares of the Company’s common stock after giving effect to cumulative anti-dilution adjustments and accrued dividends, and 4,835,224 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock issued in December 2011 upon the conversion of convertible notes were converted into an equal number of shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) the shares of common stock of the Company were reverse split at a ratio of 1-for-6.8 (the “Reverse Split”).  The consolidated financial statements were adjusted to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Split.

As part of the Merger, ParentCo assumed certain of the Company’s obligations under an investors’ rights agreement, dated July 17, 2007, by and among the Company and its stockholders (the “Investors’ Rights Agreement”), assumed the Company’s obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement, and assumed the Company’s 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan.

After an increase in authorized shares under the 2007 Plan in connection with the Merger, the Company currently has options to purchase 295,515 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding under the 2007 Plan and has reserved for future issuance under the 2007 Plan an additional 265,685 shares of Common Stock.

For accounting purposes, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with the Company as the accounting acquiror (legal acquiree) and ParentCo as the accounting acquiree (legal acquiror), effectively a recapitalization of the Company.

On February 13, 2012, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer, Adam S. Grossman, which has an initial term of three (3) years, with automatic three (3) year renewal periods unless notice is provided 90 days in advance.  The employment agreement provides that Mr. Grossman (i) will initially be paid $350,000 annually beginning on the date on which the Merger closed (the “Effective Date”); (ii) is eligible for an annual cash bonus, the target of which is $100,000, based upon the attainment of certain performance objectives mutually agreed to by the Board of Directors and Mr. Grossman;  (iii) was to be granted on the Effective Date options to purchase shares of Common Stock representing 4% of the Company’s equity on a fully diluted basis (options to purchase 212,134 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $9.60 were granted pursuant to this provision) and (iv) is eligible to participate in the Company's standard benefits package.  All options granted to Mr. Grossman were issued under the Company’s stock option plan and vest over a four year period, with 25% of the options vesting on the Effective Date, and the remaining 75% vesting in equal monthly installments over the following 48 months of continued employment (full vesting on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date), subject to accelerated vesting (i) upon a “change of control” (as defined in the agreement) of the Company of all options if Mr. Grossman is terminated by the Company or its successor for any reason other than cause or by Mr. Grossman for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement) immediately preceding or within two years thereafter and (ii) of that portion of the options that would have vested over the one year period following the date of termination upon a termination of employment by the Company without cause or by Mr. Grossman for good reason or as a result of death or disability.  Mr. Grossman also received a bonus in connection with his 2011 performance, including in connection with the PIPE and Merger, of $50,000 on the date on which the Merger closed.  The Company is obligated to reimburse Mr. Grossman for up to $10,000 in legal expenses incurred in connection with the employment agreement.

c)            Cashless Exercise .

(B) =
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

d)            Mechanics of Exercise .
 
i.       Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise .  Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”).   The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.

ii.       Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise .  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
iii.       Rescission Rights .  If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
 
iv.       Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise .  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

v.       No Fractional Shares or Scrip .  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
vi.       Charges, Taxes and Expenses .  Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.  The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.
 
vii.       Closing of Books .  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

e)            Holder’s Exercise Limitations .  The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other  Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.   To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.   In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3 .                       Certain Adjustments .
 
a)            Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
b)           [Intentionally Omitted].
 
c)            Subsequent Rights Offerings .  If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price by virtue of any transaction contemplated by Section 4.18 of the Purchase Agreement.
 
 
8

 
 
d)            Pro Rata Distributions .  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
 
e)            Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to
 
 
9

 
 
such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,[ in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, including, but not limited to, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction.  “ Black Scholes Value ” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“ Bloomberg ”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date.  The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

g)            Nonwaiver and Expenses .  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.  Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

2.            Administration of the Plan .
 
(a)           The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”).  The Board shall have full power and authority, subject to the express provisions of the Plan, (i) to select those individuals who shall be granted Options under the Plan (the “ Optionees ”) from the Eligible Persons (as hereinafter defined), (ii) to make awards of Options in accordance with the Plan, (iii) to determine the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Option, (iv) to determine the terms and conditions of each Option awarded, including the authority to amend the terms and conditions of an Option award after the granting thereof to an Optionee in a manner that is not prejudicial to the rights of such Optionee, (v) to specify and approve the provisions of the stock option agreement delivered to Optionees in connection with their award of Options (the “ Stock Option Agreement ”), (vi) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and procedures relating to the Plan, (vii) to vary the terms of awards of Options to take account of tax, securities laws and other regulatory requirements of foreign jurisdictions, and (viii) to make all other determinations and to formulate such procedures as may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
 
(b)           The Board shall have full power and authority, subject to the express provisions hereof, to construe and interpret the Plan and any Stock Option Agreement.

(d)           No member of the Board shall be liable for anything whatsoever in connection with the administration of the Plan except such person’s own willful misconduct.  Under no circumstances shall any member of the Board be liable for any act or omission of any other member of the Board.  In the performance of its functions with respect to the Plan, the Board shall be entitled to rely upon information and advice furnished by the Company’s officers, the Company’s accountants, the Company’s counsel and any other party the Board deems necessary, and no member of the Board shall be liable for any action taken or not taken in reliance upon any such advice.

4.14            Certain Transactions and Confidentiality .  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedules.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares.
 
 
30

 
 
4.15            Form D; Blue Sky Filings .  The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Shares for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.
 
4.16            Capital Changes .  Until the one year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the Shares.
 
4.17            Acknowledgment of Dilution .  The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Shares may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions.  The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
 
4.18            Anti-Dilution Protection Subscription Rights .  For a period (the “ Anti-Dilution Period ”) ending on the earlier to occur of (a) 18 months from the Closing or (b) the date that the Company has sold to investors (whether or not such investors are current stockholders of the Company) in one or more transactions, other than Exempt Issuances, securities having an aggregate purchase price of at least $5 million, the Purchasers will be entitled to the following Anti-Dilution Protection:
 
(a)           If any time during the Anti-Dilution Period, the Company sells any Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalent for a price that is less than the Per Share Purchase Price (or in the case of a Common Stock Equivalent, that is convertible, exercisable or exchangeable at a price that is less than the Per Share Purchase Price) (a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) then each Purchaser will be given the right simultaneously with any such Dilutive Issuance, to subscribe, for $.01 per share, for such number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to: (x) the total Subscription Amount paid by the Purchaser under this Agreement divided by the price per share of Common Stock (or payable per share of Common Stock in the case of Common Stock Equivalents) by investors in connection with the Dilutive Issuance, less (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing and any such additional shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Section 4.18 .
 
 
31

 
 
(b)           Each Purchaser shall receive notice from the Company of its right to subscribe hereunder (“ Subscription Right ”) and shall have at least seven days to exercise its Subscription Rights.
 
(c)           Any Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 4.18 shall be subject to registration rights at least as favorable as those provided to other investors in connection with the relevant Dilutive Issuance. If there are no registration rights granted in connection with such Dilutive Issuance, then each Purchaser shall be entitled to registration rights at least equivalent to those provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
(d)           For purposes of this Section 4.18 , the Per Share Purchase Price shall be subject to equitable adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends or other capital adjustments.
 
4.19            Future Funding Needs .  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete, on terms acceptable to its Board of Directors, during the 18 months following the Closing, a financing transaction pursuant to which it sells Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (the “First Follow-on Financing”) resulting in gross proceeds of at least $5 million.  Each of the Lead Investors agrees to the following with respect to future financing needs of the Company:
 
(a)           If within the 18-month period following the Closing, the Company engages in the First Follow-On Financing, and the Company is unable to raise $5 million or more in such transaction, then each of Burrill, Aisling and the Grossman Group will subscribe to purchase not less than $1.5 million, $2.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in such offering under the same terms such securities are offered and sold to other investors.
 
(b)           If, in connection with the First Follow-on Financing, the Company receives subscription amounts from one or more other investors (who could be any of the Lead Investors) that are greater, in the aggregate, than $1 million, then the amount that each of the Lead Investors will be obligated to invest, as set forth in Section 4.19(a), will be reduced proportionately such that the total proceeds received by the Company will be not less than $5 million.  The pricing and terms of the proposed financing will be established by such investor or investors who are willing to make the investment of the additional $1 million (who may be any of the Lead Investors) and which pricing and terms are acceptable to the Board of Directors, in the exercise of its judgment.  If there are no investors other than the Lead Investors in the First Follow-on Financing, then the price that must be paid by the Lead Investors if they are required to invest in accordance with Section 4.19(a) will not exceed the Per Share Purchase Price.
 
(c)           If, in connection with the First Follow-on Financing, the Company does not receive subscription amounts from one or more other investors (who could be any of the Lead Investors) that are greater, in the aggregate, than $1 million, and each of the Lead Investors is obligated to invest its full amount as set forth in Section 4.19(a), then the pricing and terms of the proposed financing will be established by negotiation among the Lead Investors and the Board of Directors, with a price that will be no greater than  the  30-day average closing price of the Common Stock of the Company, as reported on the primary market on which the Common Stock of the Company is traded.
 
 
32

 
 
(d)           Each Lead Investor will receive notice of the terms and proposed closing date for the First Follow-On Financing no less than seven days prior to the closing thereof.  The subscription obligation of the Lead Investors under this Section 4.19 shall only be with respect to the First Follow-On Financing and shall not extend to any future financings.

36

 
 
5.20            Liquidated Damages .  The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

5.22            Construction .  The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto.  In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.
 
5.23            WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .   IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Placement Agency Agreement (the “ Placement Agency Agreement ”) dated February 12, 2012, between ADMA Biologics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as placement agent (the “ Placement Agent ”).  Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company is offering, through the Placement Agent, shares of Common Stock. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Placement Agency Agreement.

To induce the Placement Agent’s continuing efforts in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Placement Agency Agreement, the undersigned agrees that, without the Placement Agent's prior written consent, the undersigned will not, for a period commencing on the closing of the Merger and ending 180 days after such date (the “ Lock-Up Period ”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing restriction (i) shall not limit the right of the undersigned during the Lock-Up Period to make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock so long as there are no sales of such shares of Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period and (ii) shall include, without limitation, any securities issued to the undersigned in (i) the Offerings and (ii) the Merger in exchange for securities of the Company.

The undersigned agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company's transfer agent and registrar relating to the transfer of the undersigned's shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the restrictions described above.

ANNEX 1

Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

§ 262. Appraisal rights.

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words "stock" and "share" mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;
 
 
 

 
 
c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or
 
 
 

 
 
(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder's written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.
 
 
 

 
 
(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.
 
 
 

 
 
(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder's demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.  Notwithstanding the above, (a) if the Company is diligently using its best efforts to have a registration statement declared effective and the delays associated with the effectiveness of the registration statement are the result of either continuing comments from, or delays in reviewing by, the Commission, then the maximum aggregate amount payable by the Company hereunder shall be one percent of the aggregate Subscription Amount for Registrable Securities still held by such Holder, (b) if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering, as described in Section  2(c) hereof, then the Company shall not be required to pay partial liquidated damages pursuant to subsection (iv) or (v) here of with respect to the number of Registrable Securities in excess of such limitation and (c) the Company shall not, under any circumstances, be required to make payments hereunder in satisfaction of its obligation to pay partial liquidated damages in excess of ten percent of the aggregate Subscription Amount for Registrable Securities still held by Holders.

(c)           If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the applicable Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.

(d)           Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided , however , in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(e)           Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

(g)           Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).

(h)            The Company shall cooperate with any broker-dealer through which a Holder proposes to resell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with the FINRA Corporate Financing Department pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, as requested by any such Holder, and the Company shall pay the filing fee required by such filing within two (2) Business Days of request therefor.

(i)           Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that, the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(j)           If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request.

(k)           Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus.  The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.  The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(k) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required pursuant to Section 2(d), for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period .

(l)           Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

(m)           The Company shall use its best efforts to maintain eligibility (if it so qualifies) for use of Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities.

(n)           The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.

4.            Registration Expenses . All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities) and (D) if not previously paid by the Company in connection with an Issuer Filing, with respect to any filing that may be required to be made by any broker through which a Holder intends to make sales of Registrable Securities with FINRA
 
 
10

 
 
pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, so long as the broker is receiving no more than a customary brokerage commission in connection with such sale, (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.  In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

5.            Indemnification .

(a)            Indemnification by the Company . The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “ Losses ”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d), but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected.  The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6(h).
 
 
11

 

 
(b)            Indemnification by Holders . Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act through no fault of the Company or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), to the extent, but only to the extent, related to the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d), but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected.  In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder under this Section 5(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
 
 
12

 
 
(c)            Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless:  (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
 
 
13

 
 
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d)            Contribution . If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d), in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
 
 
14

 
 
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

6.            Miscellaneous .

(a)            Remedies .  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.  Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b)            No Piggyback on Registrations; No Restrictions on Filing Other Registration Statements .  Except as provided for in the Investor Rights Agreement dated July 17, 2007 by and among the Company and the parties thereto (the “ Investor Rights Agreement ” or “ IRA ”), neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than if they are the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements other than the Registrable Securities.  The Company is expected to file another registration statement as provided for in the Investor Rights Agreement (hereinafter the “ IRA Registration Statement ”)).  Furthermore, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing herein shall prohibit the Company from filing a registration statement for a primary offering by the Company or from engaging in any primary offering of securities at any time whether or not a Registration Statement providing for the resale of Registrable Securities has been declared effective.

(c)            Compliance . Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

(d)            Discontinued Disposition .  By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “ Advice ”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed.  The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.  The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(d).
 
 
15

 
 
(e)            Piggy-Back Registrations . If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for the account of others, other than the IRA Registration Statement, under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.

(f)            Amendments and Waivers . The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of 51% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security).  If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided , however , that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first  sentence of this Section 6(f). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

(g)            Notices . Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

(h)            Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.  Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
 
 
16

 
 
(i)            No Inconsistent Agreements . Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.  Except as set forth in the IRA, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.

(j)            Execution and Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

(k)            Governing Law .  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(l)            Cumulative Remedies . The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

(m)            Severability . If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(n)            Headings . The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
 
 
17

 
 
(o)            Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not asset any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder.  It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

Annex A

Plan of Distribution

Each Selling Stockholder (the “ Selling Stockholders ”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the [principal Trading Market] or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
 
 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
·
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
·
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
 
 
·
in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
 
 
·
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
 
 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
 
 
 

 
 
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
 
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder.  In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling Stockholders.
 
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.  The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution.  In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person.  We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

(a)           The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Placement Agent and its controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directors, officers, shareholders, and employees (collectively the “ Indemnified Persons ”), from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings (including those of members or shareholders), damages, liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), as incurred, (collectively a “Claim”), that are (A) related to or arise out of (i) any actions taken or omitted to be taken (including any untrue statements made or any statements omitted to be made) by the Company, or (ii) any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Person in connection with the Company’s engagement of Placement Agent, or (B) otherwise relate to or arise out of Placement Agent’s activities on the Company’s behalf under Placement Agent’s engagement, and the Company shall reimburse any Indemnified Person for all expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such Claim, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which any Indemnified Person is a party.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company will not, however, be responsible for any Claim, to the extent that such claim is finally judicially determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any person seeking indemnification for such Claim, in which case the Indemnified Persons for whom the Company has paid any amounts shall be liable for the prompt repayment to the Company of all amounts paid by the Company for the benefit of such Indemnified Persons, and Placement Agent shall cause all such Indemnified Persons to sign and deliver to the Company written agreements, in form and substance reasonably determined by Placement Agent, memorializing this result prior to the Company being obligated to expend any amounts to indemnify any such Indemnified Persons (the “ Indemnification Reimbursement Agreements ”).  The Company further agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability to the Company for or in connection with the Company’s engagement of Placement Agent except for any Claim incurred by the Company as a result of such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b)           The Company further agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Placement Agent, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such Claim), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional, irrevocable release of each Indemnified Person from any and all liability arising out of such Claim.
 
 
12

 
 
(c)           Promptly upon receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any complaint or the assertion or institution of any Claim with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, such Indemnified Person shall notify the Company in writing of such complaint or of such assertion or institution but failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any obligation it may have hereunder, except and only to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the Company of substantial rights and defenses.  If the Company so elects or is requested by such Indemnified Person, the Company will assume the defense of such Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person and the payment of the fees and expenses of such counsel. In the event, however, that legal counsel to such Indemnified Person reasonably determines that having common counsel would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or if the defendant in, or target of, any such Claim, includes an Indemnified Person and the Company, and legal counsel to such Indemnified Person reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Persons different from or in addition to those available to the Company, then such Indemnified Person may employ its own separate counsel to represent or defend him, her or it in any such Claim (and all other Indemnified Persons involved in such Claim) and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, if the Company fails timely or diligently to defend, contest, or otherwise protect against any Claim, the relevant Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend, contest, compromise, settle, assert cross claims, or counterclaims or otherwise protect against the same, and shall be fully indemnified by the Company therefor, including without limitation, for the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and all amounts paid as a result of such Claim or the compromise or settlement thereof, so long as any such compromise or settlement includes a full and complete release of the Company and all of its affiliates.  In addition, with respect to any Claim in which the Company assumes the defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in such Claim and to retain his, her or its own counsel therefor at his, her or its own expense.

(d)           Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees that if any indemnity sought by an Indemnified Person hereunder is held by a court to be unavailable for any reason then (whether or not Placement Agent is the Indemnified Person), the Company and Placement Agent shall contribute to the Claim for which such indemnity is held unavailable in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and Placement Agent on the other, in connection with Placement Agent’s engagement referred to above, subject to the limitation that in no event shall the amount of Placement Agent’s contribution to such Claim exceed the amount of fees actually received by Placement Agent from the Company pursuant to Placement Agent’s engagement.  The Company hereby agrees that the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and Placement Agent on the other, with respect to Placement Agent’s engagement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value paid or committed to be paid or received by the Company or its stockholders as the case may be, pursuant to the Offerings (whether or not consummated) for which Placement Agent is engaged to render services bears to (b) the fee paid or proposed to be paid to Placement Agent in connection with such engagement.
 
 
13

 
 
(e)           The Company’s indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations under this Agreement (a) shall be in addition to, and shall in no way limit or otherwise adversely affect any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at law or at equity and (b) shall be effective whether or not the Company is at fault in any way.

(b)           This Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time prior to the Termination Date in the event that (i) the Placement Agent shall have failed in any material respect to perform any of its obligations hereunder or (ii) there shall occur any event described in Section 8(a) above not occasioned by or arising out of or in connection with any breach or failure hereunder on the part of the Company.  In the event of any termination by the Company pursuant to clause (i) above, the Placement Agent shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all expenses accrued through the Termination Date, but shall be entitled to no other amounts whatsoever except as may be due under any indemnity or contribution obligation provided herein or any other Transaction Document, at law or otherwise, which shall be paid within five (5) days of the Termination Date.
 
(c)           Upon any such termination, the Escrow Agent will cause, at the request of the Placement Agent, all money received from prospective purchasers of Shares in respect of subscriptions for Shares not accepted by the Company to be promptly returned to such prospective purchasers without interest, penalty, expense or deduction.  Any interest earned thereon shall be applied to the payment of the Escrow Agent’s fees and expenses.

2.            Registration Rights .  The Company covenants and agrees as follows:
 
2.1.            Demand Registration.
 
 
 

 
 
(a)            Form S-1 Demand .  If at any time after the earlier of (i) three (3) years after the date of this Agreement or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-1 registration statement for an aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, that would exceed $5 million, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give notice thereof (the “ Demand Notice ”) to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) use its best efforts to, as soon as practicable, file a Form S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within [twenty (20)] days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.3.
 
(b)            Form S-3 Demand .  If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $500,000 then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.3.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after the request of the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such one hundred twenty (120) day period other than an Excluded Registration.
 
(d)           The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) after the Company has effected three registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a); or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.1(b). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (i) during the thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has effected any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) within the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date of such request.  A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefore, and forfeit their right to one demand registration statement pursuant to Section 2.6, in which case such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(d).
 
 
 

 
 
2.2.            Company Registration .  If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its Common Stock securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder notice of such registration.  Upon the request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration.  The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration.  The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.6.
 
2.3.            Underwriting Requirements.
 
(a)           If, pursuant to Section 2.1 , the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.1, and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice.  The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders.  In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 2.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting, which number shall be determined by the Company based on the advice of the underwriter(s), shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; provided, however, that in the case of a public offering subsequent to the company’s initial public offering the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting, nor shall the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting be reduced to less than 30% of the aggregate number of shares being underwritten in any such underwriting.  To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
 
 
 

 
 
(b)           In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company.  If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering.  If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders.  To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering, or (ii) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total number of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the IPO, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded further if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering.  For purposes of the provision in this Section 2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.
 
(c)           For purposes of Section 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in Section 2.3(a), fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.
 
2.4.            Obligations of the Company .  Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
 
(a)           prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration, and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for up to thirty (30) days, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;
 
 
 

 
 
(b)           prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;
 
(c)           furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;
 
(d)           use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;
 
(e)           in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering;
 
(f)           use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
 
(g)           provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;
 
(h)           promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;
 
(i)           notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and
 
(j)           after such registration statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.
 
 
 

 
 
2.5.            Furnish Information .  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
 
2.6.            Expenses of Registration .  All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements, not to exceed $50,000, of one counsel for the selling Holders (“ Selling Holder Counsel ”), shall be borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), as the case may be; provided further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b).  All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.
 
2.7.            Delay of Registration .  No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.
 
2.8.            Indemnification .  If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:
 
(a)           To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.
 
 
 

 
 
(b)           To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.
 
(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof.  The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action.  The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action.  The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8.
 
(d)           To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.8, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses) paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.
 
 
 

 
 
(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
 
(f)           Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
 
2.9.            Reports Under Exchange Act .  With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company shall:
 
(a)           make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the IPO;
 
(b)           use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements); and
 
(c)           furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the IPO), the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies); (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company; and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).
 
2.10.            Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights .  From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of fifty percent (50%) the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that (i) would provide to such holder the right to include securities in any registration on other than a subordinate basis to the Registrable Securities after all Holders have had the opportunity to include in the registration and offering all shares of Registrable Securities that they wish to so include; provided that this limitation shall not apply to any additional Investor who becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.9.
 
 
 

 
 
2.11.            “Market Stand-off’ Agreement .  Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed 180 days) (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock (or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock) held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement for the IPO or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11 shall apply only to the IPO, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall be applicable to the Holders only if all officers and directors are subject to the same restrictions and the Company uses its best efforts to obtain a similar agreement from all stockholders individually owning more than one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to conversion into Common Stock of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock).  The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 2.11 and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.  Each Holder further agrees (x) to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 2.11 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto, and (y) that no such agreements, following their execution, shall be amended or modified unless all such agreements are amended or modified in the same manner.
 
2.12.            Restrictions on Transfer.
 
(a)           The Series A Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities shall not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or transfer, except upon the conditions specified in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.  A transferring Holder will cause any proposed purchaser, pledgee, or transferee of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities held by such Holder to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement.
 
(b)           Each certificate or instrument representing (i) the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) the Registrable Securities, and (iii) any other securities issued in respect of the securities referenced in clauses (i) and (ii), upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 2.12(c)) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.  SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.
 
 
 

 
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.
 
The Holders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.12.
 
(c)           The holder of each certificate representing Restricted Securities, by acceptance thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2.  Before any proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction, the Holder thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or transfer.  Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at such Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Company.  The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter (x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144 or (y) in any transaction in which such Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of such Holder for no consideration; provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 2.12.  Each certificate or instrument evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 2.12(b), except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.
 
2.13.            Termination of Registration Rights .  The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of:

Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 3.1 to the contrary, the Company may cease providing the information set forth in this Section 3.1 during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days before the Company’s good-faith estimate of the date of filing of a registration statement if it reasonably concludes it must do so to comply with the SEC rules applicable to such registration statement and related offering; provided that the Company’s covenants under this Section 3.1 shall be reinstated at such time as the Company is no longer actively employing its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.

3.5.            Confidentiality .  Each Investor agrees that such Investor will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge, or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its investment in the Company) any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including notice of the Company’s intention to file a registration statement), unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 3.5 by such Investor), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Investor without use of the Company’s confidential information, or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Investor by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that an Investor may disclose confidential information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Company; (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Registrable Securities from such Investor, if such prospective purchaser agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.5, provided that no Investor may disclose any confidential information obtained from the Company to any prospective purchaser that is a competitor of the Company or to any other Person that is a competitor of the Company; (iii) to any Affiliate, partner, member, stockholder, or wholly owned subsidiary of such Investor in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Investor informs such Person that such information is confidential and directs such Person to maintain the confidentiality of such information; or (iv) as may otherwise be required by law, provided that the Investor promptly notifies the Company of such disclosure and takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure.
 
 
 

 
 
4.            Rights to Future Stock Issuances.
 
4.1.            Right of First Offer .  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1 and applicable securities laws, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to each Major Investor.  A Major Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it among itself and its Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.
 
(a)           The Company shall give notice (the “ Offer Notice ”) to each Major Investor, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.
 
(b)           By notification to the Company within twenty (20) days after the Offer Notice is given, each Major Investor may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Series A Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by such Major Investor bears to the total Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of all Series A Preferred Stock and other Derivative Securities).  At the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Company shall promptly notify each Major Investor that elects to purchase or acquire all the shares available to it (each, a “ Fully Exercising Investor ”) of any other Major Investor’s failure to do likewise.  During the ten (10) day period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Investor may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the number of shares specified above, up to that portion of the New Securities for which Major Investors were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Major Investors which is equal to the proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of Series A Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by such Fully Exercising Investor bears to the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Series A Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by all Fully Exercising Investors who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares.  The closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall occur within the later of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Section 4.1(c).
 
 
 

 
 
(c)           If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 4.1(b), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Section 4.1(b), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice.  If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Major Investors in accordance with this Section 4.1.
 
(d)           The right of first offer in this Section 4.1 shall not be applicable to (i) Exempted Securities (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation); [and] (ii) shares of Common Stock issued in the IPO.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, in lieu of complying with the provisions of this Section 4.1, the Company may elect to give notice to the Major Investors within thirty (30) days after the issuance of New Securities.  Such notice shall describe the type, price, and terms of the New Securities.  Each Major Investor shall have twenty (20) days from the date notice is given to elect to purchase up to the number of New Securities that would, if purchased by such Major Investor, maintain such Major Investor’s percentage-ownership position, calculated as set forth in Section 4.1(b) before giving effect to the issuance of such New Securities.  The closing of such sale shall occur within sixty (60) days of the date notice is given to the Major Investors.
 
4.2.            Termination .  The covenants set forth in Section 4.1 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) immediately before the consummation of the IPO, (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (iii) upon a Deemed Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, whichever event occurs first and, as to each Major Investor, in accordance with Section 4.1(e).
 
5.            Additional Covenants.
 
5.1.            Insurance .  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, within ninety (90) days of the date hereof, from financially sound and reputable insurers Directors and Officers liability insurance each in an amount and on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Board of Directors, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such insurance policies to be maintained until such time as the Board of Directors determines that such insurance should be discontinued.  The Insurance policy shall not be cancelable by the Company without prior approval by the Board of Directors including the Series A Directors.
 
5.2.            Employee Agreements .  The Company will cause (i) each person now or hereafter employed by it or by any subsidiary (or engaged by the Company or any subsidiary as a consultant/independent contractor) with access to confidential information and/or trade secrets to enter into a nondisclosure and proprietary rights assignment agreement and (ii) each Key Employee to enter into a one (1) year noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  In addition, the Company shall not amend, modify, terminate, waive, or otherwise alter, in whole or in part, any of the above-referenced agreements or any restricted stock agreement between the Company and any employee, without the unanimous consent of the Series A Directors.

5.4.            Qualified Small Business Stock .  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as well as any shares into which such shares are converted, within the meaning of Section 1202(f) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “ Code ”), to constitute “qualified small business stock” as defined in Section 1202(c) of the Code; provided, however, that such requirement shall not be applicable if the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in its good-faith business judgment, that such qualification is inconsistent with the best interests of the Company.  The Company shall submit to its stockholders (including the Investors) and to the Internal Revenue Service any reports that may be required under Section 1202(d)(1)(C) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.  In addition, within twenty (20) business days after any Investor’s written request therefore, the Company shall, at its option, either (i) deliver to such Investor a written statement indicating whether (and what portion of) such Investor’s interest in the Company constitutes “qualified small business stock” as defined in Section 1202(c) of the Code or (ii) deliver to such Investor such factual information in the Company’s possession as is reasonably necessary to enable such Investor to determine whether (and what portion of) such Investor’s interest in the Company constitutes “qualified small business stock” as defined in Section 1202(c) of the Code.

to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company; and
 
if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Shares pursuant to this Section 6 includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Stockholder would require under applicable law (x) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (y) the provision to any Stockholder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may cause to be paid to any such Stockholder in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Shares which would have otherwise been sold by such Stockholder, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the securities which such Stockholder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the Shares.

7.10.            Entire Agreement .  This Agreement (including any Schedules and Exhibits hereto) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled.

THIS PLASMA PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“ Agreement ”) between Biotest Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a Delaware corporation, having a place of business at 5800 Park of Commerce Boulevard, NW, Boca Raton, Florida 33487 (“ BPC ”) and ADMA Biologics, Inc ., a Delaware corporation, having a place of business at 65 Commerce Way, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601 (“ ADMA ”) shall be effective as of November 17, 2011 (the “ Effective Date ”).  BPC and ADMA are each sometimes referred to herein individually as a “ Party ” or collectively as the “ Parties ”.
 
RECITALS
 
WHEREAS, BPC desires to sell, and ADMA desires to purchase certain quantities of source plasma containing antibodies to Respiratory syncytial virus (“ RSV ” or “ RSV Plasma ”) to be used by ADMA in the manufacturing of a Human Immune Globulin (“ Product ”), solely on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
 
PROVISIONS
 
NOW, THEREFORE , for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and with the intent to be legally bound hereby, ADMA and BPC agree as follows:
 
A.            PURCHASE AND SALE OF RSV PLASMA .
 
1.            TERM OF AGREEMENT .  Unless terminated earlier as provided herein, the term of this Agreement shall be for a period of ten (10) years from the Effective Date (the “ Initial Term ”).  After the Initial Term, this Agreement may be renewed for two (2) additional five (5) year periods upon the mutual consent of the Parties.  Each Party agrees that it will endeavor, in good faith, to conclude any negotiations relating to such renewals no less than one (1) year before the expiration of this Agreement.
 
2.            PRICE AND VOLUMES .
 
a.           From and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, ADMA agrees to purchase, and BPC agrees to sell RSV Plasma, in quantities and prices set forth by way of annual forecasts as further described in this Agreement.
 
b.           During the term of this Agreement and subject to the terms of this Agreement, ADMA agrees to purchase and BPC agrees to sell to ADMA a minimum of [***] liters of RSV Plasma per Period (“ Start Up Minimum Volume ”) until the earlier of such time (i) as ADMA receives Biologics License Application (BLA) approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“ FDA ”) or (ii) March 31, 2016.  Upon the earlier of the receipt of said FDA approval or March 31, 2016, and during the term of this Agreement and subject to the terms of this Agreement, ADMA agrees to purchase and BPC agrees to sell to ADMA, a minimum of [***] liters of RSV Plasma per Period (“ Annual Minimum Volume ”); it being acknowledged that the Annual Minimum Volume shall be in lieu of the Start Up Minimum Volume.  Each period shall commence on April 1st and terminate on March 31st of the following year (the “ Period ”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, ADMA shall not be obligated to purchase the Start Up Minimum Volume or the Annual Minimum Volume in the event BPC ceases to provide necessary plasma samples for testing and identifying donors.
 
 
 

 
 
During the term of this Agreement and subject to the terms of this Agreement, ADMA agrees to purchase its RSV Plasma exclusively from BPC.  For avoidance of doubt, ADMA may collect RSV Plasma at up to [***] ADMA owned and operated plasma centers, provided ADMA purchases the minimum quantities and the annual forecasted amount as set forth in this section and Section B (3) respectively.
 
The Parties mutually agree and understand that identifying sufficient donors with naturally occurring RSV antibody levels vary.  The Parties mutually agree that this naturally occurring variation may, due to no fault of BPC or ADMA, affect total acceptable RSV Plasma volumes.  In the event that BPC cannot fulfill ADMA’s requirements for RSV Plasma, ADMA is permitted to purchase any additional plasma from other sources until such time BPC can meet ADMA’s plasma requirements.
 
Moreover, the Parties understand that, due to supervening business circumstances and a volatile market, it may be commercially difficult to attain the minimum purchase requirements set forth in this Agreement.  Accordingly, the Parties mutually agree to modify such minimum purchase requirements in an equitable manner should such circumstances arise.
 
c.           Beginning on the Effective Date of this Agreement through March 31, 2012 pricing for RSV Plasma will be [***] per liter.  For the period April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013, the price for RSV Plasma will be [***] per liter plus the change in price of [***] as described under this Section 2(d).  This price includes all required screening tests, and NAT for HIV, HBV, HCV, HAV and [***].
 
d.           Pricing for RSV Plasma for the period after March 31, 2013 will be based on the price previously in effect adjusted in proportion to the percentage increase in the [***] Index, [***], U.S. City Average, All items, Base 1982-84 = 100, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (“[***]”) as of the December 31st of the previous calendar year.
 
e.           In the event one or more new government regulation, required test, quality procedure or change in the Specifications (hereinafter defined) requested by ADMA (any of the foregoing being a “ Required Change ”) is required but is not contemplated in this Agreement and results in a material increase to BPC actual costs to procure, store, provide and supply the RSV Plasma, both Parties shall re-negotiate the change in the purchase price in good faith within ninety (90) days of the Required Change, which shall be retroactive to the effective date of the Required Change.
 
3.            PAYMENT TERMS .  Subject to Section C hereof, all RSV Plasma shall be paid within [***] days from the date of the invoice.  Any late payment made by ADMA shall accrue interest to be paid at the rate of 12% per annum, subject to the maximum allowed by law.  Invoice to be issued upon shipping from the BPC plasma center.  All payments due hereunder to BPC shall be sent to BPC at the times set forth herein by wire transfer to such accounts as BPC may designate to ADMA.

B.            QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF RSV PLASMA .
 
1.           BPC shall provide ADMA, at no cost to ADMA, plasma samples in amounts and at times mutually agreed upon by ADMA and BPC to enable ADMA to test [***] donors suitable for producing RSV Plasma for ADMA in accordance with the ADMA Specifications, attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated by reference.  Based on said testing, ADMA shall identify plasma donors whom ADMA has tested as suitable for producing RSV Plasma in accordance with ADMA Specifications (“ Acceptable Donors ”).  BPC shall produce RSV Plasma for ADMA based on the number of Acceptable Donors identified by ADMA.  ADMA’s acceptance of the donor shall constitute ADMA’s acceptance of RSV Plasma.  ADMA shall bear the cost of shipping said samples to their designated testing laboratory.
 
2.           Once ADMA has identified a donor as an Acceptable Donor and notified BPC in writing of such designation, ADMA agrees to purchase all RSV Plasma collected from the Acceptable Donor until it notifies BPC in writing that the donor is no longer an Acceptable Donor or ADMA’s quantity requirements have been met.  The Parties shall discuss ongoing quantity requirements and BPC will make any corresponding order adjustments prospectively, however, ADMA is obligated to purchase all RSV Plasma from Acceptable Donors that BPC has collected.  ADMA may, within [***] prior written notice, terminate Acceptable Donor status for any donor at any time at its sole discretion.  ADMA will not be obligated to purchase RSV Plasma from donors who are not Acceptable Donors or have been dropped as Acceptable Donors following ADMA’s [***] written drop notification.  ADMA will be obligated to purchase any RSV Plasma collected through the drop notification period.  Business days are defined as Monday through Friday 9 am to 5 pm, with weekends and holidays (applicable to each plasma center) specifically excluded.

4.           BPC shall have no obligation to provide RSV Plasma to ADMA in the event the failure to provide the agreed upon quantity is due to a Force Majeure event pursuant to Section F or the unavailability of Acceptable Donors.
 
5.           Post donor acceptance, ADMA shall bear the expense of unusable RSV Plasma due to a recall, or the destruction of any RSV Plasma due to post-donation “look back” issues in accordance with FDA regulations and guidance.
 
C.            LIMITED WARRANTY .

ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
 
A.           ADMA and ARETH understand and appreciate that their long term mutual interests will be best served by affecting a rapid and fair resolution of any claims or disputes which may arise out of the Services performed under this Agreement or from any dispute concerning Agreement terms.  Therefore, both Parties agree to use their best efforts to resolve all such disputes as rapidly as possible on a fair and equitable basis.  The first stage of the resolution process shall be negotiations between the respective project managers of the Parties.
 
B.           If any dispute or claim arising under this Agreement cannot be readily resolved by the Parties pursuant to negotiations between the project managers, the Parties agree to refer the matter to a panel consisting of one (I) executive from each party not directly involved in the claim or dispute for review and resolution_ A copy of the Agreement and other relevant documents, agreed upon facts (and areas of disagreement), and concise summary of the basis for each side’s contentions will be provided to both executives who shall review the same, confer, and attempt to reach a mutual resolution of the issue.
 
C.           If the dispute has not been resolved under the process set forth in Section B within thirty (30) days after the dispute was first referred to the executive panel, the Parties will attempt to resolve the dispute through non-binding mediation.  If the mediation is to be utilized, the Parties shall select a single unrelated but qualified Mediator who shall conduct a meeting (not to exceed one day) during which each party shall present its version of the facts (supported by relevant documents), its assessment of damages, and its argument.  The Parties shall provide the Mediator with copies of all documents provided to their executives under Section B at least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled date of the mediation meeting.  The Parties may also provide the Mediator with copies of any laws or regulations that they feel are relevant to the dispute.  A copy of the Agreement will be provided to the Mediator.  Formal written arguments, legal memorandum, and live testimony are discouraged but may be permitted at the discretion of the Mediator.  Each party agrees to make any relevant, non-privileged documents available to the other party for its review and use in preparing its position under this clause without the need for subpoena or other court order.
 
D.           After the presentations of the Parties, the Mediator will meet with both Parties and provide each of them, on a confidential basis, with his/her views of the strengths and weaknesses of their respective positions.  The Parties will then attempt to resolve the matter with the assistance of the Mediator.  If the Parties cannot achieve resolution at the mediation meeting or within forty-eight (48) hours after the close of such meeting, the Mediator will, within fifteen (15) additional days, issue a written, non-binding decision on the disputed issues.
 
 
 

 
 
E.           If the matter has not been resolved utilizing the processes set forth above and the Parties are unwilling to accept the non-binding decision of the Mediator, either or both Parties may then elect to pursue resolution through litigation.  In the event of any litigation between the Parties, it is agreed and stipulated that the case shall be heard and decided by the court, without a jury.
 
F.           The costs of the Mediator shall be borne by the losing party (determined at mediation or through subsequent litigation).  Each Party will bear its own costs of mediation.

(c)           If any Legal Requirement shall, by reason of the nature of Tenant’s particular use or occupancy of the Premises (as opposed to laws that generally apply to use of the Premises or Property), impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to (i) modification or other maintenance of the Premises or the Property, or (ii) the use, alteration or occupancy thereof, Tenant, shall comply with such Legal Requirements at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for the Premises complying with all sprinkler and high pile storage Legal Requirements.  If the Building and/or the Premises is determined by applicable governmental agencies to not be in compliance with Legal Requirements applicable to the Property as of the Commencement Date and such non-compliance is not related to Tenant’s particular use or occupancy of the Premises, then Landlord shall be fully responsible, at its sole cost and expense (which shall not be included in CAM), for making all alterations and repairs to the Property and/or the Premises required by such governmental agencies so that the Property and/or the Premises complies with all such Legal Requirements.  The term “ Legal Requirements ” shall mean all covenants and restrictions of record (if any), laws, statutes, building and zoning codes, ordinances, and governmental orders, conditions of approval, rules and regulations (including, but not limited to, Title Ill of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990), as well as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time, including, without limitation, all Legal Requirements that pertain to the building structure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if there is a “new” Legal Requirement (a Legal Requirement first enacted or made applicable to the Property after the Commencement Date of this Lease) affecting the Property (excluding the Premises), which require Landlord to make capital expenditures or repairs to the Property (excluding the Premises) (a “ New Legal Requirement ”), the annual amortized portion of such capital expenditures or repairs shall be included in CAM which shall be reimbursed by the tenants in the Property over a commercially reasonable period not to exceed 10 years.  Subject to applicable New Legal Requirements (including any “grandfather” provisions pertaining thereto), Landlord agrees to maintain the Property (except the Premises) in compliance with all Legal Requirements.
 
(d)           Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy the Premises in violation of the certificates of occupancy issued for or restrictive covenants pertaining to the Building or the Premises, and in the event that any architectural control committee or department of the State or the city or county in which the Property is located shall at any time contend or declare that the Premises are used or occupied in violation of such certificate or certificates of occupancy or restrictive covenants, Tenant shall, upon five (5) days’ notice from Landlord or any such governmental agency, immediately discontinue such use of the Premises (and otherwise remedy such violation).  The failure by Tenant to discontinue such use shall be considered a default under this Lease and Landlord shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided herein or by Law.  Tenant shall not place weight upon any portion of the Premises exceeding the structural floor load (per square foot of area) which such area was designated (and is permitted by Legal Requirements) to carry or otherwise use any Building system in excess of its capacity or in any other manner which may damage such system or the Building.
 
4.  RENT .  Tenant shall pay the Base Rent (as defined in Item 11 of the Basic Lease Provisions), Additional Rent (hereinafter defined) and any other amounts required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (collectively referred to as “ Rent ”) during the Lease Term, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month, or as otherwise set forth in this Lease, without setoff or deduction, at the address set forth in Item 16 of the Basic Lease Provisions.  In the event any Rent is due for a partial calendar month or year, the Rent shall be equitably adjusted to reflect that portion of the Lease Term within such month or year.  All accrued Rent shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.  The obligation of Tenant to pay Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations.  The first full monthly installment of Base Rent (as set forth in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions) shall be payable upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease.
 
(a)            Base Rent .  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Base Rent, the sums and amounts set forth in Item 11 of the Basic Lease Provisions.

(ii)            Insurance .  Insurance shall include, without limitation, premiums for liability, property damage, fire, workers compensation, rent and any and all other insurance (herein collectively referred to as “ Insurance ”) which Landlord deems necessary to carry on, for, or in connection with Landlord’s operation of the Property.  In addition thereto, in the event Tenant’s use of the Premises shall result in an increase of any of Landlord’s Insurance premiums, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to such increase in Insurance.  Such payments of Insurance shall be in addition to all premiums of insurance which Tenant is required to carry pursuant to Paragraph 19 of this Lease.
 
(iii)            Common Area Maintenance .  Common area maintenance charges (hereinafter referred to as “ CAM ”) shall mean any and all costs, expenses and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with the operation, ownership, management, repair and replacement, if necessary, of the Building and the Property, including, without limitation, the following:  the maintenance, repair and replacement, if necessary, of the downspouts, gutters and the non-structural portions of the roof; the paving of all parking facilities, access roads, driveways, truck ways, sidewalks and passageways; loading docks and access ramps, trunk-line plumbing (as opposed to branch-line plumbing); common utilities and exterior lighting; landscaping; snow removal; fire protection; exterior painting and interior painting of the common areas of the Property; management fees; additions or alterations made by Landlord to the Property or the Building in order to comply with Legal Requirements (other than those expressly required herein to be made by Tenant) or that are appropriate to the continued operation of the Property or the Building as a bulk warehouse facility in the market area, provided that the cost of additions or alterations that are required to be capitalized for federal income tax purposes shall be amortized on a straight line basis over a period equal to the lesser of the useful life thereof for federal income tax purposes or 10 years; and all other expenses incurred by Landlord for or on behalf of the Property, and all other similar maintenance and repair expenses incurred by Landlord for or on behalf of the Property.  Additionally, CAM does not include costs, expenses, depreciation or amortization for capital repairs and capital replacements required to be made by Landlord under Paragraph 7 of this Lease, debt service under mortgages or ground rent under ground ‘leases, costs of restoration to the extent of net insurance proceeds received by Landlord with respect thereto, leasing commissions, or the costs of renovating space for tenants.  The estimated monthly amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of CAM is set forth in Item 14 of the Basic Lease Provisions, which amount is subject to increase as provided for herein,
 
(iv)            Payment of Additional Rent .  Landlord shall have the right to invoice Tenant monthly, quarterly, or otherwise from time to time, for Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the actual Taxes, Insurance and CAM expenses payable by Tenant under this Lease; and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, those amounts for which Tenant is invoiced within thirty (30) days after receipt of said invoice.

Alternatively, at Landlord’s election, Landlord shall have the right to invoice Tenant monthly for Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such Taxes, Insurance and CAM expenses, as reasonably estimated by Landlord.  Any monies paid in advance to Landlord by Tenant shall not accrue interest thereon.  Following the end of each calendar year or property fiscal year, Landlord shall deliver a statement to Tenant setting forth the difference between Tenant’s actual Pro Rata Share of Taxes, Insurance and/or CAM expenses and the total amount of monthly payments, paid by Tenant to Landlord.  Tenant shall thereafter pay to Landlord the full amount of any difference between Tenant’s actual obligation over the total amount of Tenant’s estimated payments, within thirty (30) days after receipt of said statement; conversely, in the event Tenant’s estimated payments exceed Tenant’s actual obligation, Landlord shall either refund the overpayment to Tenant or credit said overpayment against Tenant’s monthly obligation in the forthcoming year.
 
For purposes of this Lease, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share is hereinafter defined as a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the square footage of the Premises, and the denominator of which shall be the square footage of the rentable area of the Property, which Pro Rata Share is hereby agreed to be as set forth in Item 13 of the Basic Lease Provisions.  In the event this Lease expires on a date other than the end of a billing period, Tenant’s obligation with respect to any amounts owed to Landlord shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term, and shall be invoiced to Tenant when the same have been accurately determined or, at Landlord’s option, such amounts shall be reasonably estimated by Landlord to reflect the period of time the Lease was in effect during such billing period.
 
Landlord shall maintain complete and accurate records of all Taxes, Insurance and CAM expenses incurred in connection with the Property.  Tenant shall have the right to inspect such records at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, at the office of Landlord’s managing agent during said agent’s normal business hours, upon five (5) days prior written notice.  Landlord shall not be obligated to provide Tenant with detailed summaries or receipts for any expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Property; but Landlord shall provide Tenant with one or more statements setting forth such expenses, categorized by class and amount.  Notwithstanding the aforesaid, unless Tenant asserts specific errors within ninety (90) days after receipt of any invoice, or year-end statement, it shall be deemed that said invoice, or year-end statement, is correct.
 
(v)            Expense Stops for Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Insurance .  Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that the Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the Lease Term with respect to Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Insurance shall be limited to the following:  (i) with respect to Tenant’s obligation hereunder to pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes, “ Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes ” shall mean Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the excess, if any, of the Taxes for the calendar year in question over the actual Taxes for the calendar year 2008 (the “ Base Year ”), and (ii) with respect to Tenant’s obligation hereunder to pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Insurance, “ Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Insurance ” shall mean Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the excess, if any, of the premiums for insurance for the calendar year in question over the actual premiums for Insurance for the Base Year.
 
The terms and provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
 
5.  LATE CHARGE .  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in the event Tenant is late in the payment of any Rent or other charge due Landlord, Landlord will suffer damages that are extremely difficult to estimate and, therefore, as a reasonable forecast of the damages that are likely to result from such late payment, Tenant shall be assessed a late charge for Landlord’s increased administrative expenses, which late charge shall be equal to five percent (5%), per month, of all outstanding amounts owed Landlord.

6.  UTILITIES .  Landlord agrees to supply water, gas, electricity and sewer connections to the Premises.  Tenant shall pay for all gas, electricity, water and sewer used by Tenant within the Premises, together with any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like pertaining thereto, and Tenant shall be liable for all maintenance and equipment with respect to the continued operation thereof including, without limitation, all electric light bulbs and tubes.  In no event shall Landlord be liable for any interruption or failure of any utility servicing the Property.  Landlord may cause at Tenant’s expenses any utilities used by Tenant to be separately metered or charged directly to Tenant by the provider.
 
7.  LANDLORD’S REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE .  Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain, repair and replace, if necessary, the foundation, the structural portions of the roof and the exterior walls.  Notwithstanding the aforesaid, in the event any such maintenance or repairs are caused by the negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents or invitees, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the cost of all such maintenance and repairs within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice for same.  For purposes of this Paragraph, the term “exterior walls” shall not include windows, plate glass, office doors, dock doors, dock bumpers, office entries, or any exterior improvement made by Tenant.  Landlord reserves the right to designate all sources of services in connection with Landlord’s obligations under this Lease,
 
8.  TENANT’S REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE .  Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall at all times during the Lease Term and in accordance with all Legal Requirements, maintain, service, repair and replace, if necessary, and keep in good condition and repair all portions of the Premises which are not expressly the responsibility of Landlord (as set forth in Paragraph 7 above), including, but not limited to, fixtures, equipment and appurtenances thereto, any windows, plate glass, office doors, dock doors and ancillary equipment, all interior heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, office entries, interior walls and finish work, floors and floor coverings, water heaters, electrical systems and fixtures, sprinkler systems, dock bumpers, dock levelers, trailer lights and fans, shelters/seals and restraints, branch plumbing and fixtures, and pest extermination.  In addition thereto, Tenant shall keep the Premises and the dock area servicing the Premises in a clean and sanitary condition, and shall keep the common parking areas, driveways and loading docks free of Tenant’s debris.  Tenant shall not store materials, waste or pallets outside of the Premises, and shall timely arrange for the removal and/or disposal of all pallets, crates and refuge owned by Tenant which cannot be disposed of in the dumpster servicing the Property.  If replacement of equipment, fixtures, and appurtenances thereto are necessary, then Tenant shall replace the same with equipment, fixtures and appurtenances of the same quality, and shall repair all damage done in or by such replacement.
 
As set forth on Exhibit E hereto, Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall enter into a regularly scheduled preventive maintenance/service contract with a maintenance contractor approved by Landlord for servicing all hot water, heating and air conditioning systems and equipment within the Premises.  The service contract must include all services suggested by the equipment manufacturer in its operations/maintenance manual and an executed copy of such contract must be provided to Landlord prior to the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises.  Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Landlord shall have the option to enter into a regularly scheduled preventative maintenance/service contract on items for and on behalf of Tenant.  Such contract may include, without limitation, all services suggested or recommended by the equipment manufacturer in the operation and maintenance of such system.  In the event Landlord elects such option, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all of Landlord’s costs in connection with said contract, as well as Landlord’s actual costs of repair and maintenance of the HVAC system.

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in substantially the same condition as when received, reasonable wear and tear excepted.  Tenant shall perform all repairs and maintenance in a good and workmanlike manner, using materials and labor of the same character, kind and quality as originally employed within the Property; and all such repairs and maintenance shall be in compliance with all governmental and quasi-governmental laws, ordinances and regulations, as well as all requirements of Landlord’s insurance carrier.  In the event Tenant fails to properly perform any such repairs or maintenance within a reasonable period of time, Landlord shall have the option to perform such repairs on behalf of Tenant, in which event Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the costs thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice for same.
 
9.  ALTERATIONS .  Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises or Property (“ Alterations ”) without the prior written consent of Landlord.  Tenant shall have the right at any time during the Lease Term, without needing Landlord’s prior written consent, to make cosmetic, non-material and non-structural alterations to the Premises which cost shall not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) in any one calendar year.  Tenant shall make no Alterations to the Premises, including, without limitation any Alterations (i) which will adversely impact the Building’s mechanical, electrical or heating, ventilation or air conditioning systems, or (ii) which will adversely impact the structure of the Building, or (iii) which are visible from the exterior of the Premises or (iv) which will result in the penetration or puncturing of the roof, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent or approval to such Alterations (which consent or approval shall be in the Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion).  Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, may install such trade fixtures as Tenant may deem necessary, so long as such trade fixtures do not penetrate or disturb the structural integrity and support provided by the roof, exterior walls or sub-floors.  All such trade fixtures shall be constructed and/or installed by contractors approved by Landlord, in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all applicable governmental and quasi-governmental laws, ordinances and regulations, as well as all requirements of Landlord’s insurance carrier.
 
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all trade fixtures and any other Alterations installed by Tenant within the Premises; and, upon such removal, Tenant shall restore the Premises to a condition substantially similar to that condition when received by Tenant.  However, notwithstanding the aforesaid, upon Landlord’s written election, such Alterations shall revert to Landlord and shall remain within the Premises.  In no event shall Landlord have any right to any of Tenant’s trade fixtures; and, except as otherwise set forth in this Lease, Tenant may remove such trade fixtures upon the termination of this Lease, provided Tenant repairs any damage caused by such removal.  If Tenant does not timely remove such property, then Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have, at Landlord’s election (i) conveyed such property to Landlord without compensation or (ii) abandoned such property, and Landlord may dispose of or store any part thereof in any manner at Tenant’s sole cost, without waiving Landlord’s right to claim from Tenant all expenses arising out of Tenant’s failure to remove the property, and without liability to Tenant or any other person.  Landlord shall have no duty to be a bailee of any such personal property.  If Landlord elects abandonment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any expenses incurred for disposition.

10.  DESTRUCTION .  If the Premises or the Property are damaged in whole or in part by casualty so as to render the Premises untenantable, and if the damages cannot be repaired as reasonably determined by Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of said casualty, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such casualty.  If the damages can be repaired within said one hundred eighty (180) days, and Landlord does not elect within sixty (60) days after the date of such casualty to repair same, then either party may terminate this Lease by written notice served upon the other.  In the event of any such termination, the parties shall have no further obligations to the other, except for those obligations accrued through the effective date of such termination; and, upon such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord.  Should Landlord elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Landlord shall proceed with all due diligence to repair and restore the Premises to a condition substantially similar to that condition which existed prior to such casualty.  In the event the repair and restoration of the Premises extends beyond one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such casualty due to causes beyond the control of Landlord, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Landlord shall not be liable therefor; but Landlord shall continue to complete such repairs and restoration with all due diligence.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Rent shall abate during the period the Premises is untenantable due to a casualty loss under this Paragraph 10.  In the event only a portion of the Premises are untenantable, Tenant’s Rent shall be equitably abated in proportion to that portion of the Premises which are so unfit.  However, there shall be no Rent abatement if said damage is due to the fault or negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or invitees.
 
11.  INSPECTION .  Upon prior written notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency when no such notice shall be necessary), Landlord shall have the right to enter and inspect the Premises at any reasonable time for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of the Premises, or in order to make such repairs as may be required or permitted to be made by Landlord under the terms of this Lease; provided, however, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to Tenant’s business in the Premises during such entry by Landlord.  Tenant shall have the duty to periodically inspect the Premises and notify Landlord should Tenant observe a need for repairs or maintenance of any obligation to be performed by Landlord under this Lease.  Upon receipt of Tenant’s notice, Landlord shall have a commercially reasonable period of time to make such repairs or maintenance.  In addition thereto, during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at any reasonable time for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective third-party tenants; and, during said six (6) months, Landlord shall have the right to erect on the Property and/or Premises suitable signs indicating that the Premises are available for lease.
 
Tenant shall give Landlord thirty (30) days written notice prior to Tenant vacating the Premises, for the purpose of arranging a joint inspection of the Premises with respect to any obligation to be performed therein by Tenant, including, without limitation, the necessity of any repair or restoration of the Premises.  In the event Tenant fails to notify Landlord of such inspection, Landlord’s inspection after Tenant vacates shall be conclusively deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant’s responsibility for repairs and restoration.
 
12.  SIGNS .  Tenant shall have the right to install suite signage in the Premises and signage on both sides of the Building above the Premises in the same fashion that the signage appears today, provided that all such signage shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord.  Except for the foregoing, Tenant shall not place or permit any signs, lights, awnings or poles in or about the Premises or the Property, other than the standard building signage as per Landlord specifications, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  All signage installed by Tenant shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements.  Tenant shall not change the uniform architecture, paint, landscape, or otherwise alter or modify the exterior of the Property without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

13.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING .
 
(a)           Tenant shall not directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, assign, sublet, mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber all or any portion of its interest in this Lease or in the Premises or grant any license in any person other than Tenant or its employees to use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Any such attempted assignment, subletting, license, mortgage, hypothecation, other encumbrance or other use or occupancy without the consent of Landlord shall be null and void and of no effect.  Any mortgage, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises and any grant of a license or sufferance of any person other than Tenant or its employees to use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof shall be deemed to be an “assignment” of this Lease.  In addition, as used in this Paragraph 13, the term “ Tenant ” shall also mean any entity that has guaranteed Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and the restrictions applicable to Tenant contained herein shall also be applicable to such guarantor.  Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, to an entity controlled by or is commonly controlled with Tenant (a “ Tenant Affiliate ”), without the prior written consent of Landlord (a “ Tenant Affiliate Transaction ”).  Further, provided no default has occurred and is continuing under this Lease, Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior written consent, assign this Lease or sublet the Premises to an entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to an entity to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets or equity are transferred, provided (x) such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets/equity is for a good business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring Tenant’s leasehold estate, and (y) the successor entity has a tangible net worth, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (and evidenced by financial statements in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) at least equal to the tangible net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or transfer (a “ Merger/Consolidation Transaction ”).  For purposes herein, a Tenant Affiliate Transaction and a Merger/Consolidation Transaction shall collectively hereinafter be referred to as a “ Permitted Transfer ”.  Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of any Permitted Transfer within thirty (30) days after consummation thereof.  The term “controlled by” or “commonly controlled with” shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such controlled person or entity; the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, at least fifty-one  percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity shall be presumed to constitute such control.
 
(b)           No permitted assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the Rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.  The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any subletting or assignment.  Consent by Landlord to one subletting or assignment shall not be deemed to constitute a consent to any other or subsequent attempted subletting or assignment.  If Tenant desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord all pertinent information relating to the proposed assignee or sublessee, all pertinent information relating to the proposed assignment or sublease, and all such financial information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the proposed assignee or subtenant.  Any approved assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
 
(c)           At any time within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the information specified in subparagraph (b) above, Landlord may by written notice to Tenant elect to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises so proposed to be subleased or assigned (which may include all of the Premises), with a proportionate abatement in the Rent payable hereunder.
 
 
- 12 -

 
 
(d)           Tenant acknowledges that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a proposed assignment or sublease in any of the following instances:
 
(i)           The assignee or sublessee is not, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, sufficiently creditworthy to perform the obligations such assignee or sublessee will have under this Lease;
 
(ii)           The intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee is not the same as set forth in this Lease or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
 
(iii)           The intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would materially increase the pedestrian or vehicular traffic to the Premises or the Property;
 
(iv)           Occupancy of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would, in the good faith judgment of Landlord, violate any agreement binding upon Landlord, or the Property with regard to the identity of tenants, usage in the Property, or similar matters;
 
(v)           The assignee or sublessee is then actively negotiating with Landlord or has negotiated with Landlord within the previous six (6) months, or is a current tenant or subtenant within the Premises or Property;
 
(vi)           The identity or business reputation of the assignee or sublessee will, in the good faith judgment of Landlord, tend to damage the goodwill or reputation of the Premises or Property; or
 
(vii)           In the case of a sublease, the subtenant has not acknowledged that the Lease controls over any inconsistent provision in the sublease.
 
The foregoing criteria shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for Landlord to refuse its consent to such assignment or sublease
 
(e)           Any consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall apply only to the specific transaction thereby authorized.  Such consent shall not be construed as (i) a waiver of the duty of Tenant, or the assigns of Tenant, to obtain Landlord’s consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting of all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises or (ii) modifying or limiting the rights of Landlord under the covenant by Tenant not to assign or sublet all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord.
 
(f)           Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall at all times during the Initial Term and any subsequent renewals or extensions remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the Rent and for compliance with all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease.  In the event that the Rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment, plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto) exceeds the Rent payable under this Lease, then Tenant, after the recovery of all reasonable expenses associated with the sublease or assignment, including tenant improvement costs, architectural fees, commissions, and any other reasonable concessions provided, shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, one-half of all such excess Rent and other excess consideration within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant.

(g)           If this Lease is assigned or if the Premises is subleased (whether in whole or in part), or in the event of the mortgage, pledge, or hypothecation of Tenant’s leasehold interest, or grant of any concession or license within the Premises, or if the Premises are occupied in whole or in part by anyone other than Tenant, then upon a default by Tenant hereunder Landlord may collect Rent from the assignee, sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee, party to whom the leasehold interest was hypothecated, concessionee or licensee or other occupant and, except to the extent set forth in the preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to the next Rent payable hereunder; and all such Rent collected by Tenant shall be held in deposit for Landlord and immediately forwarded to Landlord.  No such transaction or collection of Rent or application thereof by Landlord, however, shall be deemed a waiver of these provisions or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of its covenants, duties, or obligations hereunder.
 
(h)           Should Tenant request of Landlord the right to assign or sublet its rights under this Lease, Landlord shall charge Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual cost of Landlord’s legal fees and administrative costs up to a maximum amount of One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00).
 
14.  DEFAULT .  This Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises is made subject to and conditioned upon Tenant performing all of the covenants and obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder, at the times and pursuant to terms and conditions set forth herein.  If Tenant (i) fails to pay any Rent or other charge when the same is due and such monetary default continues to exist in full or part at the expiration of five (5) days after written notice is given by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, Landlord shall only be obligated to provide such written notice to Tenant one (1) time within any calendar year and in the event Tenant fails to timely pay Rent or any other sums for a second time during any calendar year, then Tenant shall be in default for such late payment and Landlord shall have no obligation or duty to provide notice of such non-payment to Tenant prior to declaring an event of default under this Lease, (ii) fails to comply with or observe any other provision of this Lease and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice to Tenant except that if such failure can not reasonably be cured within such 30 day period, Tenant shall be afforded such additional cure period as shall be reasonably necessary to effect cure (provided that Tenant is acting in good faith and with constant diligence to cure such failure); (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) vacates or abandons the Premises for more than thirty (30) days, (v) files or has filed against it a petition in bankruptcy, (vi) has a receiver, trustee or liquidator appointed over a substantial portion of its property, or (vii) is adjudicated insolvent (each of the foregoing each being referred to hereafter as a “ Default ”), then Tenant shall be in default under this Lease.  In the event of a Default under this Lease by Tenant, Landlord may either (a) terminate this Lease, or (b) terminate Tenant’s right of possession to the Premises without terminating this Lease.  In either event, Landlord shall have the right to dispossess Tenant, or any other person in occupancy, together with their property, and re-enter the Premises.  Upon such re-entry, Tenant shall be liable for all expenses incurred by Landlord in recovering the Premises, including, without limitation, clean-up costs, legal fees, removal, storage or disposal of Tenant’s property, and restoration costs.
 
In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, all Rent through the effective date of termination shall immediately become due, together with any late fees payable to Landlord and the aforesaid expenses incurred by Landlord to recover possession, plus an amount equal to all tenant concessions granted to Tenant including, but not limited to, free or reduced rent, all tenant finish constructed within the Premises, or any contribution paid to Tenant in lieu thereof.

In the event Landlord elects not to terminate this Lease, but only to terminate Tenant’s right of possession to the Premises, Landlord may re-enter the Premises without process of law if Tenant has vacated the Premises or, if Tenant has not vacated the Premises by an action for ejection, unlawful detainer, or other process of law.  No such dispossession of Tenant or re-entry by Landlord shall constitute or be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, unless Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant specifically terminating this Lease.  Tenant shall remain liable for all past due Rent and late fees, plus the aforesaid expenses incurred by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises.  In addition, Tenant shall be liable for all Rent thereafter accruing under this Lease, payable at Landlord’s election:  (a) monthly as such Rent accrues, in an amount equal to the Rent payable under this Lease less the rent (if any) collected from any reletting, or (b) in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after Landlord repossesses the Premises, in an amount equal to the total Rent payable under this Lease for the unexpired term, discounted at the rate of six percent (6%), per annum.  In the event the Premises are relet, Tenant shall also be liable for all costs of reletting, including, without limitation, any broker’s fees, legal fees, and/or tenant finish required to be paid in connection with any reletting.
 
In addition to any other remedy afforded Landlord under this Lease, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a continuing security interest upon all of Tenant’s goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture, inventory, accounts, contract rights, chattel paper and other personal property (hereinafter collectively referred to as “ Security ”) situated within the Premises.  In the event Tenant shall be in Default under this Lease, Tenant shall not remove any such Security from the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord; and Landlord shall have all rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code including, without limitation, the right to sell such Security at public or private sale upon five (5) days prior written notice to Tenant, Tenant hereby agrees to execute financing statements and other reasonable instruments necessary or desirable, in Landlord’s discretion, to perfect any security interest hereby created.  The lien hereby created shall be in addition to any statutory lien granted under the laws of the State of Georgia.
 
No payment of money by Tenant after the termination of this Lease, service of any notice, commencement of any suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, shall reinstate this Lease or affect any such notice, demand or suit, or imply consent for any action for which Landlord’s consent is required.  Tenant shall pay all costs and reasonable actual attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord from enforcing the covenants of this Lease.  Should Landlord elect not to exercise its rights in the event of a Default, it shall not be deemed a waiver of such rights as to subsequent Defaults.
 
15.  HOLDOVER .  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, without demand, in as good condition as when delivered to Tenant, reasonable wear and tear excepted.  If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises after the termination of this Lease, and hold over for any reason, Tenant shall be deemed guilty of unlawful detainer; or, at Landlord’s election, Tenant shall be deemed a holdover tenant and shall pay to Landlord monthly Rent equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the total Rent payable hereunder during the last month prior to any such holdover.  In addition, Tenant shall be liable for all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of such holding over.  Should any of Tenant’s property remain within the Premises after the termination of this Lease, it shall be deemed abandoned, and Landlord shall have the right to store or dispose of it at Tenant’s cost and expense.
 
16.  RIGHT TO CURE TENANT’S DEFAULT .  In the event Tenant is in Default under any provision of this Lease, other than for the payment of Rent, and Tenant has not cured same within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s written notice, Landlord may cure such Default on behalf of Tenant, at Tenant’s expense.  Landlord may also perform any obligation of Tenant, without notice to Tenant, should Landlord deem the performance of same to be an emergency.  Any monies expended by Landlord to cure any such Default(s), or resolve any deemed emergency shall be payable by Tenant as Additional Rent.  If Landlord incurs any expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, in prosecuting and/or defending any action or proceeding by reason of any emergency or Default, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for same, as Additional Rent, with interest thereon at twelve percent (12%) annually from the date such payment is due Landlord.

17.  HOLD HARMLESS .  Except to the extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct, Tenant hereby releases, discharges and shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, from all losses, claims, liability, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) caused by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, assignees, subtenants or invitees and due to (i) any damage or injury to persons or property of third persons, (ii) Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, (iii) Tenant’s breach of any covenant under this Lease, or (iv) Tenant’s use of any equipment, facilities or property in, on, or adjacent to the Property.  In the event any suit shall be instituted against Landlord by any third person for which Tenant is hereby indemnifying and holding Landlord harmless, Tenant shall defend such suit at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  This Paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
 
18.  CONDEMNATION .  If the whole or any part of the Property or the Premises shall be taken in condemnation, or transferred by agreement in lieu of condemnation, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease by serving the other party with written notice of same, effective as of the taking date; provided in the case of termination by Tenant that at least 50% of the Premises is so taken and the remaining portion of the Premises is not adequate for the purpose set forth in Item 18 of the Basic Lease Provisions of this Lease.  If neither Tenant nor Landlord elect to terminate this Lease as aforesaid, then this Lease shall terminate on the taking date only as to that portion of the Premises so taken, and the Rent and other charges payable by Tenant shall be reduced proportionally.  Landlord shall be entitled to, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any interests it might have in, the entire condemnation award for all realty and improvements and the value of Tenant’s leasehold interest.  Tenant shall, to the extent available from the condemning authority and separately awarded to Tenant, be entitled to an award for Tenant’s fixtures, personal property, and reasonable moving expenses only, provided Tenant independently petitions the condemning authority for same.  Notwithstanding the aforesaid, if any condemnation takes a portion of the parking area the result of which does not reduce the minimum required parking ratio below that established by local code or ordinance, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without modification.
 
19.  INSURANCE .  Landlord shall maintain in full force and effect policies of insurance covering the Property in an amount not less than eighty percent (80%) of the Property’s “replacement cost”, as such term is defined in the Replacement Cost Endorsement attached to such policy, insuring against physical loss or damage generally included in the classification of “all risk” or “special form” coverage.  Except as set forth below, such insurance shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord, and under Landlord’s sole control.
 
Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect throughout the term of this Lease policies providing “all risk” or “special form” insurance coverage protecting against physical damage (including, but not limited to, fire, lightning, extended coverage perils, vandalism, sprinkler leakage, water damage, collapse, and other special extended perils) to the extent of 100% of the replacement cost of Tenant’s property and improvements, as well as broad form comprehensive or commercial general liability insurance, in an occurrence form, insuring Landlord and Tenant jointly against any liability (including bodily injury, property damage and contractual liability) arising out of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, with a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000, or for a greater amount as may be reasonably required by Landlord from time to time.  All such policies shall be of a form and content satisfactory to Landlord; and Landlord, its Property Manager, and any Mortgagee, shall be named as an additional insured on all such policies.  All policies shall be with companies licensed to do business in the State of Georgia, with financial ratings not lower than VII in Best’s Insurance Guide (most current edition).  Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates of all policies at least ten (10) days prior to occupancy; and, further, such policies shall provide that not less than thirty (30) days written notice be given to Landlord before any such policies are canceled or substantially changed to reduce the insurance provided thereby.  All such policies shall be primary and non-contributing with or in excess of any insurance carried by Landlord, Tenant shall not do any act which may make void or voidable any insurance on the Premises or Property; and, in the event Tenant’s use of the Premises shall result in an increase in Landlord’s insurance premiums, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to such increase in insurance.

Landlord, Tenant, and all parties claiming under them, each mutually release and discharge each other from responsibility for that portion of any loss or damage paid or reimbursed by an insurer of Landlord or Tenant under any fire, extended coverage or other property insurance policy maintained by Tenant with respect to its Premises or by Landlord with respect to the Building or the Property (or which would have been paid had the insurance required to be maintained hereunder been in full force and effect), no matter how caused, including negligence, and each waives any right of recovery from the other including, but not limited to, claims for contribution or indemnity, which might otherwise exist on account thereof.  Any fire, extended coverage or property insurance policy maintained by Tenant with respect to the Premises, or Landlord with respect to the Building or the Property, shall contain, in the case of Tenant’s policies, a waiver of subrogation provision or endorsement in favor of Landlord, and in the case of Landlord’s policies, a waiver of subrogation provision or endorsement in favor of Tenant, or, in the event that such insurers cannot or shall not include or attach such waiver of subrogation provision or endorsement, Tenant and Landlord shall obtain the approval and consent of their respective insurers, in writing, to the terms of this Lease.  Tenant agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord, and its agents, officers, employees and contractors from and against any claim, suit or cause of action asserted or brought by Tenant’s insurers for, on behalf of, or in the name of Tenant, including, but not limited to, claims for contribution, indemnity or subrogation, brought in contravention of this Paragraph 19.  The mutual releases, discharges and waivers contained in this provision shall apply EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE TO WHICH THIS PROVISION APPLIES IS CAUSED SOLELY OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF LANDLORD OR TENANT.
 
Landlord shall not be responsible for, and Tenant releases and discharges Landlord from, and Tenant further waives any right of recovery from Landlord for, any loss for or from business interruption or loss of use of the Premises suffered by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, EVEN IF SUCH LOSS IS CAUSED SOLELY OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF LANDLORD.
 
20.  MORTGAGES .  This Lease is subject and subordinated to any mortgages, deeds of trust or underlying leases, as well as to any extensions or modifications thereof (hereinafter collectively referred to as “ Mortgages ”), now of record or hereafter placed of record.  In the event Landlord exercises its option to further subordinate this Lease, Tenant shall at the option of the holder of said Mortgage attorn to said holder.  Any subordination shall be self-executing, but Tenant shall, at the written request of Landlord, execute such further assurances as Landlord deems desirable to confirm such subordination.  In the event Tenant should fail or refuse to execute any instrument required under this Paragraph, within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s request, Landlord shall be granted a limited power of attorney to execute such instrument in the name of Tenant.  In the event any existing or future lender, holding a mortgage, deed of trust or other commercial paper, requires a modification of this Lease which does not increase Tenant’s Rent hereunder, or does not materially change any obligation of Tenant hereunder, Tenant agrees to execute appropriate instruments to reflect such modification, upon request by Landlord.

22.  GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS .  Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall conform with all laws and requirements of any Municipal, State, or Federal, authorities now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, pertaining to the Premises, as well as any requirement of Landlord’s insurance carrier with respect to Tenant’s use of the Premises.  The judgment of any court, or an admission of Tenant in any action or proceeding at law, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, shall be conclusive of the fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

24.  PARKING .  Tenant shall be entitled to the non-exclusive use of no less than 29 parking spaces in that certain area as shown on Exhibit A.  Tenant shall be liable for all vehicles owned, rented or used by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors and invitees in or about the Property.  Tenant shall not store any equipment, inventory or other property in any trucks, nor store any trucks on the parking lot of the Property.  Notwithstanding the aforesaid, in the event the Premises have access to a loading dock which exclusively services the Premises, then Tenant shall have the right to park overnight its operable trucks in front of such loading docks; provided, however, such operable trucks shall not block or restrict access to and from the Building and the parking lot.  Tenant shall not park or store any motor vehicles within the Premises.  In the event the Premises have access to a loading dock which does not exclusively service the Premises, Tenant shall not park its trucks in the dock area longer than the time it takes to reasonably load or unload its trucks.  In no event shall Tenant park any vehicle in or about a loading dock which exclusively services another tenant within the Property, or in a thoroughfare, driveway, street, or other area not specifically designated for parking.  Landlord reserves the right to establish uniform rules and regulations for the loading and unloading of trucks upon the Property, which rules may include the right to designate specific parking spaces for tenants’ use.  Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall move its trucks and vehicles if, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, said vehicles are in violation of any of the above restrictions.

25.  OWNERSHIP .
 
(a)           In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Building or the Property, Landlord shall be released from any and all liability under this Lease.  If the Security Deposit has been made by Tenant prior to such sale or conveyance, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to the purchaser, and upon delivery to Tenant of notice thereof, Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability in reference thereto.
 
(b)           Landlord shall not be in default of any obligation of Landlord hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such failure from Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.  All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter.  All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlord’s obligations hereunder.
 
(c)           ANY LIABILITY OF LANDLORD FOR A DEFAULT BY LANDLORD UNDER THIS LEASE, OR A BREACH BY LANDLORD OF ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE, SHALL BE LIMITED SOLELY TO ITS INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY BE ASSERTED AGAINST LANDLORD OR ANY OWNER, PARTNER, MEMBER OF SHAREHOLDER OF LANDLORD, OR ANY MANAGER, AGENT, EMPLOYEE OR OFFICER OF LANDLORD IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE NOR SHALL ANY RECOURSE BE HAD TO ANY OTHER PROPERTY OR ASSETS OF LANDLORD.  TENANT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR A DEFAULT OR BREACH OF THIS LEASE BY LANDLORD SHALL BE EITHER (I) AN ACTION FOR DAMAGES, OR (II) AN ACTION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; TENANT HEREBY WAIVING AND AGREEING THAT TENANT SHALL HAVE NO OFFSET RIGHTS OR RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS LEASE ON ACCOUNT OF ANY BREACH OR DEFAULT BY LANDLORD UNDER THIS LEASE, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER SHALL LANDLORD EVER BE LIABLE FOR PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES UNDER THIS LEASE AND TENANT WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO SUCH DAMAGES UNDER THIS LEASE IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OR DEFAULT BY LANDLORD UNDER THIS LEASE.
 
26.  SECURITY DEPOSIT .  Tenant has deposited with Landlord a Security Deposit as set forth in Item 15 of the Basic Lease Provisions, as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.  The parties agree that Landlord holds such deposit as a creditor of Tenant and not as Tenant’s trustee and that, unless otherwise required by law, Landlord shall not be required to keep said Security Deposit separate from its general funds, nor pay any interest thereon to Tenant.  Such Security Deposit shall not be construed as an advance Rent payment or as a measure of Landlord’s damages in the event of a Default by Tenant.  If Tenant should be placed in Default with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may apply all or a portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any sum in Default or for the payment of any amount which Landlord expends by reason of such Default.  If any portion of said Security Deposit is so applied, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, within five (5) days after receipt of Landlord’s written demand, an amount sufficient to restore said Security Deposit to its original amount.  Upon the expiration of this Lease, Landlord shall return said Security Deposit to Tenant, provided Tenant has paid to Landlord all sums owing to Landlord under this Lease, and Tenant has returned the Premises to Landlord in as good order and satisfactory condition as when Tenant took possession.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Security Deposit under the Lease shall be $439,540.23, which such amount constitutes $12,577.00 in the form of a cash security deposit (“ Cash Security Deposit ”) and $426,963.23 in the form of an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit from a bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord and in substantially similar form as shown in Exhibit H attached hereto (“ Letter of Credit ”).  The Letter of Credit shall either provide that it does not expire until the end of the Lease Term or, if it is for less than the full term of the Lease, shall be renewed by Tenant at least 60 days prior to its expiration during the Term of the Lease.  The Letter of Credit shall provide that it may be drawn down upon by Landlord at any time Landlord delivers its site draft to the bank.  If Landlord sells or conveys the Premises, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, cooperate in having the Letter of Credit transferred to the purchaser and Landlord agrees to notify Tenant in writing in the event of such transfer.  If the Letter of Credit is ever drawn upon by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Tenant shall within ten (10) days thereafter cause the Letter of Credit to be restored to the then existing amount at the time of the draw down.
 
Further, in the event Tenant fails to renew the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth in this Amendment, or in the event that Tenant shall commence any proceeding for relief, as defined in Paragraph 23(ii) of the Lease, an immediate Default shall be deemed to have occurred, without the requirement of notice or opportunity to cure, in which case Landlord may immediately draw down on the Letter of Credit.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that as of the first day of the 61st month of the Initial Term, no Default by Tenant has existed, exists, or would exist but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both; then the Letter of Credit shall terminate on the first day of the 61st calendar month following the Commencement Date.  It is the express intent of the parties that the Cash Security Deposit shall not decrease or terminate, but shall remain in the amount as set forth above throughout the entire Lease Term.
 
27.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES .  Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days, a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, that Tenant has no defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations to pay any Rent or to perform any other covenants under this Lease, that there are no uncured Defaults of Landlord or Tenant, and setting forth the dates to which the Rent and other charges have been paid, and any other information reasonably requested by Landlord.  In the event Tenant fails to return such statement within said fifteen (15) days, setting forth the above or, alternatively, setting forth those lease modifications, defenses and/or uncured Defaults, Tenant shall be in default hereunder or, at Landlord’s election, it shall be deemed that Landlord’s statement is correct with respect to the information therein contained.  Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee, or assignee of any mortgagee of the Property.
 
28.  CONDITION OF PREMISES .  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS LEASE, LANDLORD HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE PREMISES ARE SUITABLE FOR TENANT’S INTENDED PURPOSE OR USE, WHICH DISCLAIMER IS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED BY TENANT.  THE TAKING OF POSSESSION BY TENANT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT TENANT:

(iv)           WAIVES ALL CLAIMS BASED ON ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SUITABILITY OR HABITABILITY.
 
29.  SUBSTITUTE PREMISES .  Subject to the conditions specified in this Paragraph 29, Landlord reserves the right without Tenant’s consent, on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant, to substitute other premises within the Property for the Premises.  In each such case, the substituted premises shall (a) contain substantially the same rentable area as the Premises, (b) contain comparable tenant improvements, and (c) be made available to Tenant at the then current rental rate for such space, which in no event, shall exceed the per square foot rental rate in effect at the time of such substitution.  Landlord shall pay all reasonable moving expenses of Tenant incidental to such substitution of premises.

(h)           This Lease and the parties’ respective rights hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia.  Tenant has only a usufruct, not an estate for years, and not subject to levy, Lien or sale.  In the event of litigation, suit shall be brought in Gwinnett County, Georgia.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY ISSUE TO ENFORCE ANY TERM OR CONDITION OF THIS LEASE, OR WITH RESPECT TO LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS LEASE, OR TERMINATE TENANT’S RIGHT OF POSSESSION.

(j)           No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or of any breach by Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision hereof, or of any subsequent breach by Tenant.  Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval under this Lease shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Tenant.  No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Lease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, unless in writing signed by Landlord.  The delivery of the keys to any employee or agent of Landlord shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises.  The acceptance of any Rent by Landlord following a breach of this Lease by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of such breach or any other breach unless such waiver is expressly stated in a writing signed by Landlord.
 
(k)           Landlord shall be the sole determinant of the type and amount of any access control or courtesy guard services to be provided to the Property, if any.  IN ALL EVENTS, LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO TENANT, AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ANY CLAIM AGAINST LANDLORD, FOR (I) ANY UNAUTHORIZED OR CRIMINAL ENTRY OF THIRD PARTIES INTO THE PREMISES, THE BUILDING OR THE PROPERTY, (II) ANY DAMAGE TO PERSONS, OR (III) ANY LOSS OF PROPERTY IN AND ABOUT THE PREMISES, THE BUILDING OR THE PROPERTY, BY OR FROM ANY UNAUTHORIZED OR CRIMINAL ACTS OF THIRD PARTIES, REGARDLESS OF ANY ACTION, INACTION, FAILURE, BREAKDOWN, MALFUNCTION AND/OR INSUFFICIENCY OF THE ACCESS CONTROL OR COURTESY GUARD SERVICES PROVIDED BY LANDLORD.
 
(l)           Upon Tenant’s paying the Rent reserved hereunder and observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the term hereof without hindrance or ejection by any person lawfully claiming under Landlord, subject to the provisions of this Lease and to the provisions of any (i) covenants, conditions and restrictions, (ii) master lease, or (iii) Mortgages to which this Lease is subordinate or may be subordinated.
 
(m)           Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its provisions.

(n)           If Tenant is a corporation, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant hereby covenants and warrants that Tenant is a duly authorized and existing corporation, that Tenant has and is qualified to do business in the State of Georgia, that the corporation has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, and that each person signing on behalf of the corporation is authorized to do so.  If Tenant is a partnership or trust, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant hereby covenants and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of Tenant in accordance with the terms of such entity’s partnership or trust agreement.  Tenant shall provide Landlord on demand with such evidence of such authority as Landlord shall reasonably request, including, without limitation, resolutions, certificates and opinions of counsel.
 
(o)           If two or more individuals, corporations, partnerships or other business associations (or any combination of two or more thereof) shall sign this Lease as Tenant, the liability of each such individual, corporation, partnership or other business association to pay Rent and perform all other obligations hereunder shall be deemed to be joint and several, and all notices, payments and agreements given or made by, with or to any one of such individuals, corporations, partnerships or other business associations shall be deemed to have been given or made by, with or to all of them.  In like manner, if Tenant shall be a partnership or other business association, the members of which are, by virtue of statute or federal law, subject to personal liability, then the liability of each such member shall be joint and several.
 
(p)           This Agreement is the result of arms-length negotiations between Landlord and Tenant and their respective attorneys.  Accordingly, neither party shall be deemed to be the author of this Lease and this Lease shall not be construed against either party.
 
(q)           Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall promptly furnish Landlord, from time to time, with the most current audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, certified by Tenant and an independent auditor to be true and correct, reflecting Tenant’s then current financial condition.
 
(r)           This Lease may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
 
35.  PATRIOT ACT COMPLIANCE .  Tenant represents to Landlord that Tenant is not a person or entity described by Section 1 of the Executive Order (No. 13224) Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, 66 Fed.

FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
 
THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “ Agreement ”) is made and entered into as of February __, 2012 between ADMA Biologics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (including its predecessors, successors and assigns, the “ Company ”), and __________________ (“ Indemnitee ”).
 
WITNESSETH THAT:
 
WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as directors or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;
 
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities.  Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions.  At the same time, directors, officers, and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business enterprise itself.  The certificate of incorporation of the Company, as amended (as it may be further amended from time to time, the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”) requires indemnification of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company.  Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“ DGCL ”).  The DGCL expressly provides that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplates that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification;
 
WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;
 
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company's stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;
 
WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;
 
 
 

 
 
WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company (as they may be amended from time to time, the “ Bylaws ”) and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder;
 
WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Company's insurance, if any, as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity.  Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he be so indemnified; and
 
WHEREAS, Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by ____________________________ 1 and certain of its affiliates, which Indemnitee and ___________________________ 1 and such affiliates intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein, with the Company’s acknowledgement and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s willingness to serve on the Board.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve as a director or officer (as the case may be) of the Company, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1.            Indemnity of Indemnitee .  The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time.  In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof:
 
(a)            Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company .  Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section l(a) if, by reason of his Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company.  Pursuant to this Section 1(a) , Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses (as hereinafter defined), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him, or on his behalf, in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
 
(b)            Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company .  Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b) if, by reason of his Corporate Status, the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company.  Pursuant to this Section 1(b) , Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee, or on the Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall determine that such indemnification may be made.
 
_____________________

(c)            Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful .  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.  If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.  For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
 
2.            Additional Indemnity .  In addition to, and without regard to any limitations on, the indemnification provided for in Section 1 of this Agreement, the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company), including, without limitation, all liability arising out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of Indemnitee.  The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof) to be unlawful.
 
3.            Contribution .
 
(a)           Whether or not the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is available, in respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee.  The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.

(b)           Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraph, if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which such action, suit or proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the events that resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which the Law may require to be considered.  The relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive.
 
(c)           The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.
 
(d)           To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).
 
4.            Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness .  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness, or is made (or asked to) respond to discovery requests, in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.
 
5.            Advancement of Expenses .  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding.  Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.  Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest free.

6.            Procedures and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification .  It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under the DGCL and public policy of the State of Delaware.  Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:
 
(a)           To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.  The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Indemnitee to provide such a request to the Company, or to provide such a request in a timely fashion, shall not relieve the Company of any liability that it may have to Indemnitee unless, and to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the interests of the Company.
 
(b)           Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following four methods, which shall be at the election of the board:  (1) by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum, (2) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum, (3) if there are no disinterested directors or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee, or (4) if so directed by the Board of Directors, by the stockholders of the Company.  For purposes hereof, disinterested directors are those members of the board of directors of the Company who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.
 
(c)           If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c) .  The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors.  Indemnitee may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “ Independent Counsel ” as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion.  Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel.  If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit.  If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof.  The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c) , regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

(d)           In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.  Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.  Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
 
(e)           Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise (as hereinafter defined) in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise.  In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.  Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.  Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.
 
(f)           If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 6 to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(g) shall not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination, the Board of Directors or the Disinterested Directors, if appropriate, resolve to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat.

(g)           Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination.  Any Independent Counsel, member of the Board of Directors or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a determination regarding the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement.  Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
 
(h)           The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty.  In the event that any action, claim or proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such action, suit or proceeding.  Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.
 
(i)           The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
 
7.            Remedies of Indemnitee .
 
(a)           In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification is made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement within 90 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification.  Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 7(a) .  The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication.

(b)           In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section 6(b) .
 
(c)           If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 , absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s misstatement not materially misleading in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.
 
(d)           In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 7 , seeks a judicial adjudication of his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, the Company shall pay on his behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 13 of this Agreement) actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery.
 
(e)           The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be.
 
(f)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.

(b)           To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents or fiduciaries of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary under such policy or policies.  If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.  The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.
 
(c)           Except as may be provided in paragraph (f) below, in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee (other than against the Fund Indemnitors, if any), who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
 
(d)           Except as may be provided in paragraph (f) below, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.
 
(e)           Except as may be provided in paragraph (f) below, the Company's obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

(f)           The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by _______________________ 2 and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “ Fund Indemnitors ”).  The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and, (iii)  that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.  The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company.  The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8(f).
 
9.            Exception to Right of Indemnification . Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:
 
(a)           for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, provided, that the foregoing shall not affect the rights of Indemnitee or the Fund Indemnitors set forth in Section 8(f) above, if any; or
 
(b)           for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or
 
(c)           in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.
