Item 1.01

Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On June 5, 2009, China Biologic Products, Inc. (the “ Company ”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with certain accredited investors (collectively, the “ Investors ”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Investors, or their designees, 3.8% senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $9,554,140 (the “ Notes ”), convertible into shares of common stock of the Company (the “ Conversion Shares ”) and warrants (the “ Warrants ” and together with the Notes, the “ Subscribed Securities ”) to purchase up to 1,194,268 shares of common stock of the Company (the “ Warrant Shares ” and together with the Conversion Shares, the “ Underlying Securities ”). The Subscribed Securities and the Underlying Securities (together, the “ Securities ”) represent approximately 13.41% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. The closing is expected to occur on or before June 12, 2009. 

The Notes will accrue interest on the principal amount at a rate of 3.8% per annum (the “ Interest Rate ”), from the closing until repayment, whether on June 5, 2011 (the “ Maturity Date ”), by acceleration or otherwise.  Interest on the Notes are due and payable in cash semi-annually on September 30 and March 31 of each year, commencing September 30, 2009, but the Company has the option to pay accrued and unpaid interest through the issuance of a number of shares of its common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing such accrued and unpaid interest by $4.00.  If the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes when due, then upon the Investors’ election, the Company is obligated to either: redeem all or a portion of the Notes pursuant to the redemption rights discussed elsewhere herein; or pay interest on such defaulted amount at a rate equal to the Interest Rate plus 2.0%. The Company’s obligations under the Notes are secured under the terms of the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement (discussed below).  

The Warrants will have a term of 3 years, bear an exercise price of $4.80 per share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to anti-dilution and other customary provisions, and are exercisable by Investors at any time after the date on which their related Notes are converted (the “ Vesting Date ”), except that if any of the Notes is converted in part, the Vesting Date will only apply to a corresponding portion of the related Warrant. The Investors also obtained registration rights and piggy-back registration rights with respect to the Warrant Shares, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (discussed below).

Conversion Rights

The Investors will have the right to convert at any time before the Maturity Date, all or any portion of the outstanding principal and interest due on the Notes (such amount, the “ Conversion Amount ”), into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion rate equal to the quotient of (i) the Conversion Amount divided by (ii) a conversion price of $4.00 per share, as adjusted for any recapitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends, stock splits and other anti-dilution events described in the Notes.

Preemption and Co-Sale Rights

For a period of one year following the closing (the “ Offer Period ”), each of the Investors will have a preemptive right to participate on a pro rata basis in the subscription of up to 50% of the total number of certain securities proposed to be issued by the Company during such period.  During the Offer Period the Investors will also have a right of first refusal to participate in the purchase of any securities of the Company proposed to be transferred by any other Investors, or by Siu Lin Chan, the Chair of the Company’s board of directors and the holder of 6,862,624 shares of the Company’s common stock representing 32% of the outstanding shares in the Company (the “ Pledgor ”). To the extent that an Investor does not exercise its rights of first refusal as to all of the securities proposed to be sold during the Offer Period by the Pledgor, then such Investor will have the right to participate in the sale of such securities on the same terms and conditions offered to the purchasers of such securities.  

The foregoing preemptive and co-sale rights of the Investors do not apply to (1) a transfer of securities to a family member or other affiliate, (2) any sale of securities to the public in an underwritten offering or, pursuant an effective resale registration statement, (3) any pledge of securities held by the Pledgor pursuant to a bona fide loan transaction that creates a mere security interest, or (4) any bona fide gift to any charitable organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.  In addition, the first refusal and co-sale rights of an Investor will terminate if less than 25% of the original principal amount of its Note remains outstanding, and such rights will not be available to any transferee of less than 25% of the Warrant Shares or to any transferee of such portion of a Warrant with the right to purchase less than 25% of the Warrant Shares.


Redemption Rights

The Investors will have the right at any time, at their sole option, to require the Company to redeem the Notes or any portion of the outstanding principal and interest due on the Notes, upon 4 weeks’ prior written notice to the Company, at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus an amount equal to two years of interest payments (compounded semi-annually at 3.8% per annum) on such principal amount, less any amount of interest actually and previously paid on such outstanding principal amount (the “ Redemption Price ”) if: (1) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on the Notes when due and payable and such default continues for a period of 15 calendar days, or the Company defaults in the payment of principal of any Note on the Maturity Date, or upon repurchase, redemption or otherwise; (2) the consummation of a transaction results in any person or group of persons acting in concert being the owner, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, of shares representing more than 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis, the sale of the Pledgor of more than 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock,  the liquidation, dissolution or wind-up of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, a consolidation or merger of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with or into any other entity if such action results in the Company’s or such subsidiary’s loss of a majority of the outstanding equity securities of the surviving entity, or  the transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (3) the Company amends, alters or repeals any provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws or the equivalent documents of any of its subsidiaries in a manner that materially adversely affects the rights or preferences of the Investors; (4) the Company fails to complete any of the post-closing conditions of the Company’s acquisition of Chongqing Dalin Biologic Technologies Co., Ltd. and Xi’an Huitian Blood Products Co., Ltd.; or (5) the failure of the Company to file registration statements in accordance with the registration rights agreement disclosed elsewhere herein.

Nomination of Directors

The Company also agreed that until at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued to the Investors have been redeemed or transferred: (1) the boards of directors of the Company and its wholly owned British Virgin Islands subsidiary, Logic Express Ltd. (“ Logic Express ”) will be identical; (2) the Investors holding a majority of the Securities (the “ Majority Investors ”) will have the right to nominate one independent director to serve on each of the Company and Logic Express’ board of directors; (3) the Majority Investors will have the right to appoint an observer to the board of directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries; and (iv) the Majority Investors will have the right to nominate a director to serve on each of the Company’s audit, compensation and nomination committees.

Registration Rights Agreement

As a condition to the closing of the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investors also agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”), pursuant to which the Company is obligated to register the Securities within a pre-defined period.  Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement on Form S-1 or on Form S-3 (if the Company is eligible), covering the resale of the Securities and any other shares of common stock issuable to the Investors under the Purchase Agreement.  If the Company does not file the required registration statements in a timely manner, or if the Company fails to file pre-effective amendment to such registration statements and respond in writing to any comments made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) within a pre-defined period, then the Investors have the right, by providing four weeks’ written notice to require the Company, to redeem all or a portion of the Notes held by them at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus an amount equal to two years of interest payments (compounded semi-annually) on such principal amount, less any amount of interest actually and previously paid on such outstanding principal amount.  This right will continue, whether or not the Company subsequently files the registration statement. The Registration Rights Agreement will also give the Investors customary piggyback registration rights.  


Guarantee and Pledge Agreement

As a condition to the closing of the Purchase Agreement, the Investors and the Pledgor agreed to enter into a guarantee and pledge agreement (the “ Guarantee and Pledge Agreement ” and together with the Notes, Warrants and Registration Rights Agreement, the “ Transaction Documents ”).  Under the terms of the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement, the Pledgor will be obligated to pledge 3,000,000 of her shares (the “ Pledged Shares ”) to secure the Company’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, provided that the number of Pledged Shares are reduced proportionately with any reduction in outstanding principal amount of the Notes (whether due to repayment or conversion of any portion of the Notes).

The Pledgor will also be obligated, until all the Notes have been redeemed or converted in full, to accept and hold in trust for the Investors, as additional collateral security under the agreement any dividends, whether cash or shares, payable to the Pledgor, except that the amount of dividends payable to the Investors will be proportionately reduced by any reduction in the number of Pledged Shares, with the excess amount released to the Pledgor, and the sum of the amount of dividends and the market value of the Pledged Shares payable to the Investors is not less than the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and any accrued but unpaid interest. The Pledgor also agreed that, so long as at least 50% of the original principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding for the two year period following the closing, she will not dispose of more than 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in any one year period or more than 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock throughout the two year term.  The Pledgor will also grant an irrevocable proxy in favor of the Investors such that they will have a right to vote the number of Pledged Shares equal to the number of Conversion Shares under the Notes.  In addition, the Pledgor will provide the Investors with the right of first refusal with respect to any transfer of securities of the Company by the Pledgor.

Indemnification Agreement

To induce the Pledgor to enter into the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement with the Investors, the Company and the Pledgor will also enter into an indemnity agreement (the “ Indemnification Agreement ”), pursuant to which the Company  will agree to make whole, indemnify and hold harmless the Pledgor with respect to any and all damages, liabilities, losses, taxes, fines, penalties, proceedings, suits, damages, deficiencies, costs, and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever  (“ Losses ”), which may be sustained or suffered by her, arising out of or in connection with any enforcement action instituted by the Investors pursuant the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement. The Company’s indemnification obligation under the Indemnification Agreement will be limited to Losses that arise as the result of any negligent or unlawful conduct of the Company that is caused unilaterally by the Company and is beyond the Pledgor’s control in her capacity as a director of the Company, and the Company’s total indemnification obligation under agreement will not exceed the fair market value of the Pledged Shares as of the closing.

This brief description of the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, Purchase Agreement, Guarantee and Pledge Agreement and Indemnification Agreement is qualified by reference to the provisions of the forms of agreements attached to this report as Exhibits 4.1, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively.

Other than with respect to this transaction, none of the Investors have had a material relationship with the Company or any of the Company’s officers, directors or affiliates or any associate of any such officer or director.

  Shelf Registration .

(a)

As soon as possible but no later than the Filing Date, the Company shall use best efforts to prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (such initial Registration Statement, together with any additional Registration Statements to be filed pursuant to Section 2(b) below, each a “ Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement ”). The Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith), and shall contain the “ Plan of Distribution ” attached hereto as Annex A . The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than the Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have either been publicly sold by the Holders or may be sold by the Holders without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (the “ Effectiveness Period ”). The Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for the resale from time to time, and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available (including, without limitation, an Underwritten Offering, a direct sale to purchasers, a sale through brokers or agents, or a sale over the Internet) by the Holders of any and all Registrable Securities. If the Registrable Securities shall be resold by the Holders in an Underwritten Offering, the Company may include in an such registration other securities for sale for its own account; provided that if the underwriters for the offering shall determine that marketing factors require a limitation in the number of shares to be included in such offering, then the securities to be sold by the Holders shall be included in such registration before any securities proposed to be sold for the account of the Company.

(b)

In the event the Commission seeks to characterize the Mandatory Registration Statement as constituting an offering of securities by or on behalf of the Company or in any other manner, such that the Commission does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales in a manner that does not constitute such an offering, or permit the continuous resale at the market by Holder or other holders participating therein (or as otherwise may be acceptable to Holder) without being named therein as an "underwriter," (a " Rule 415 Comment "), then the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included by the Holders in such Registration Statement on a pro rata basis, based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder that is included in the Registration Statement, until such time as the Commission shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Mandatory Registration Statement shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company held by (i) the Controlling Stockholder; (ii) the Company’s directors, officers, other employees and consultants; and (iii) other holders of the Company’s capital stock with registration rights that are inferior (with respect to such reduction) to the registration rights of the Holders set forth herein, are first entirely excluded from the registration. In addition, in the event that the Commission requires Holder to be specifically identified as an "underwriter" in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and Holder does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Company shall reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of Holder, until such time as the Commission does not require such identification or until Holder accepts such identification and the manner thereof. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to find alternative methods to register the Registrable Securities with the Commission for resale by Holder; and (ii) in the event the Company, after conducting a pre-filing conference with the Commission, if possible, reasonably determines that it is unable to, or it is inadvisable for the Company to attempt to, register all of the Registrable Securities in a single registration statement, then the Company may elect to fulfill the registration requirements hereunder by registering the Registrable Securities in two or more Registration Statements; provided that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file each subsequent Registration Statement no later than the earlier of (A) sixty (60) calendar days following the date on which the last of the Registrable Securities registered under the preceding Registration Statement were sold or (B) six (6) months following the date on which the preceding Registration Statement was declared effective.

 

 

(c)

If: (i) any Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date or if the Company files a Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a) hereof, or (ii) any Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to its required Effectiveness Date due to the Company’s failure to use best efforts to have such Registration Statement be declared effective, or (iii) after any Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, due to the Company’s failure to use best efforts to maintain effectiveness, such Registration Statement ceases to be effective and available to the Holders as to all Registrable Securities to which it is required to cover at any time prior to the expiration of its Effectiveness Period for more than an aggregate of 30 Trading Days (which need not be consecutive) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an " Event "), each Holder shall have the right, by providing four weeks’ written notice to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Notes held by it at the Redemption Price (as defined in the Note), whether or not such Event is subsequently cured; provided, however, that the Company’s decision to file additional Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof shall be deemed to be the Company’s use of best efforts to have the Commission declare such Registration Statement effective.

- 4 -


(d)

Within three Trading Days of the date on which a Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement under this Section 2 becomes effective, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a blanket opinion to the transfer agent stating that the Registrable Securities are subject to an effective registration statement and can be reissued free of restrictive legend upon notice of a sale by any Holder and confirmation by such Holder that it has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, provided that the Company has not advised the transfer agent orally or in writing that the opinion has been withdrawn. Copies of the blanket opinion required by this Section 2(d) shall be delivered to each Holder within the time frame set forth above.

3.

Piggyback Registrations .

(a)

If, after the date hereof, the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for a public offering of the Company’s securities, other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or any similar form hereafter adopted by the Commission as a replacement therefor (including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements to such registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and post-effective amendments, all exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference, if any, in such registration statement, the “ Piggyback Registration Statement ”), the Company shall notify each Holder of the proposed filing and afford each Holder an opportunity to include in such Piggyback Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such Piggyback Registration Statement all or part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall, within ten days after delivery of the above-described notice by the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such Piggyback Registration Statement and provide, as a condition to such inclusion, such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is required pursuant to Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities. Any election by any Holder to include any Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration Statement shall not affect the inclusion of such Registrable Securities in any Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement until such Registrable Securities have been sold under the Piggyback Registration Statement; provided, however, that at such time, the Company shall have the right to remove from any Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement, the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Piggyback Registration Statement.

(b)

At any time, the Company may terminate or withdraw any Piggyback Registration Statement referred to in Section 3(a), and without any obligation to any such Holder whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The Company shall also have the right to suspend the effectiveness and use of any Piggyback Registration Statement at any time for an unlimited amount of time whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration.

(c)

The Company shall advise the Holders of the managing underwriters for any Underwritten Offering proposed under the Piggyback Registration Statement. The right of any such Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included in any Piggyback Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such Underwritten Offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriters selected by the Company for such underwriting and complete and execute any questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, securities escrow agreements, custody agreements, lock-up agreements, and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting, and furnish to the Company such information in writing as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements as are customary and reasonably requested by the underwriters. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the managing underwriters determine in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be included, or the Company receives a Rule 415 Comment with respect to any such Piggyback Registration Statement, then the managing underwriters may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the Piggyback Registration Statement and the Underwritten Offering, and any Shares included in the Piggyback Registration Statement and the Underwritten Offering shall be allocated, first, to the Company, and second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration Statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder that is requesting inclusion; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Piggyback Registration Statement shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company held by (i) the Controlling Stockholder; (ii) the Company’s directors, officers, other employees and consultants; and (iii) other holders of the Company’s capital stock with registration rights that are inferior (with respect to such reduction) to the registration rights of the Holders set forth herein, are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such Underwritten Offering that is undertaken in compliance with the terms hereof, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by providing written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten Trading Days prior to the effective date of the Piggyback Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such Underwritten Offering shall be excluded and withdrawn from the Piggyback Registration Statement.

(d)

By electing to include Registrable Securities in the Piggyback Registration Statement, if any, the Holder shall be deemed to have agreed not to effect any sale or distribution of securities of the Company of the same or similar class or classes of the securities included in the Registration Statement or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, during such periods as reasonably requested by the managing underwriter (but in no event for a period longer than 60 days following the effective date of the Piggyback Registration Statement; provided that each of the officers and directors of the Company that hold shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock are subject to restrictions at least as burdensome as those applicable to the Holders for not less than the entire time period required of the Holders hereunder).

(e)

The Company’s obligation to file any Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement under Section 2 shall not be affected by the filing or effectiveness of the Piggyback Registration Statement under this Section 3.

(b)

(i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible provide, upon request, the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that would not result in the disclosure to the Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Company; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the Registration Statements and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement.

(c)

Notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than three Trading Days prior to such filing and, in the case of (v) below, not less than three Trading Days prior to the financial statements in any Registration Statement becoming ineligible for inclusion therein) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one 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 each 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 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; and (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 such 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 such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

- 7 -


(d)

Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order 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.

(e)

Promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, one electronic copy of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. 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.

(f)

Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its reasonable best 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 (including via e-mail), 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.

Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the 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 Holders may request.

(h)

Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(c)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements 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, no Registration Statement nor any 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Indemnification .

(a)

Indemnification by the Company .

The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

- 9 -


 

(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, arising solely out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder's failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that, (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder, provided by such Holder to the Company in the Selling Holder Questionnaire attached hereto as Annex B (as amended or supplemented), or 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 the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 4(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder 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.

(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 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 proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

- 10 -


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 such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a 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 such 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. 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.

All 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 (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

(d)

Contribution . If a claim for indemnification under Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, 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 Section 6(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable 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.

- 11 -


The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(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 6(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the 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.

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.

ANNEX A

Plan of Distribution

The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under 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 shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

(i)

Interest on this Note shall be paid semi-annually in arrears on September 30 and March 31 of each year (each an “ Interest Payment Date ”), commencing September 30, 2009, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day.  Interest on this Note shall accrue from the Closing Date.  To the extent substitute or additional notes are issued (for whatever reason, including to exchange a new note for the principal amount that was not converted following a partial conversion of the Note or otherwise), interest shall accrue on such substitute or additional notes from the date of issuance of such notes.  Interest on this Note shall be computed (A) for any full semi-annual period for which a particular Interest Rate is applicable on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, (B) for any period for which a particular Interest Rate is applicable shorter than a full semi-annual period for which interest is calculated, on the basis of a 30-day month, and (C) for such periods of less than a month, the actual number of days elapsed over a 30-day month.

(ii)

If the Company shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note after 10 Business Days of the date due, whether upon Maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, including without limitation as a result of a bankruptcy case commenced by or against the Company in which it is the debtor, the Company shall on demand and at the election of the Holder either (i) redeem all or a portion of the Note held by the Holder at the Redemption Price (as defined herein) or (ii) from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (whether before or after judgment) at the rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the Interest Rate plus 2.0 percentage points.  It is the intention of the Company and the Holder to comply with applicable usury laws (now or hereafter enacted); accordingly, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, and any other document executed in connection herewith, in no event shall this Note or any such other document require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by such laws. If for any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note or of any such other document at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law for the collection or charging of interest, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if for any such circumstances the Holder shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest by applicable law under this Note or any such other document or otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Note or on account of any other indebtedness of the Company to such Holder, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of such indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to the Company. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to any indebtedness of the Company to the Holder, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful rate, the Company and such Holder shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (A) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (B) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, (C) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the actual rate of such interest does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, and/or (D) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by applicable law.

-8-


 

(b)

Ranking .  The Company’s obligations under this Note are general unsubordinated, secured obligations, ranking equally with all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated, senior secured indebtedness.  The Company’s obligations under this Note are secured under the terms of the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement.

(c)

No Repurchases, Redemptions or Prepayments .  There are no repurchases, redemptions or prepayments of this Note except pursuant to Sections 5 and 9(b) herein.

3.

Method of Payment .

The principal and interest on the Notes shall be payable in cash. Interest shall be payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Holder and provided to the registrar of the Company (the “ Registrar ”); provided , however , that the Company shall have the option to pay any and all accrued and unpaid interest through the issuance of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the such accrued and unpaid interest by (ii) $4.00.  Any fractional shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled under this Section 3 shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

4.

Covenants .

For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall comply with the following covenants:

(iii)

The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Covered Members under this Section 9 to purchase equity securities from a Transferor or participate in the sale of equity securities by a Transferor shall not adversely affect their rights to make subsequent purchases from the Transferor of equity securities or subsequently participate in sales of equity securities by the Transferor hereunder.

(d)

Limitation on First Refusal and Co-Sale Rights

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9, the first refusal and co-sale rights of the Holder hereunder, shall not apply to (a) the transfer of securities to any spouse or member of an individual transferor’s immediate family, or to a custodian, trustee (including a trustee of a voting trust), executor, or other fiduciary for the account of the individual transferor’s spouse or members of the individual transferor’s immediate family, or to a trust for the individual transferor’s own self, or a charitable remainder trust, or the transfer of securities by an entity transferor to an Affiliate, (b) any sale of securities to the public in an underwritten offering or, in the case of the Holders (including the Holder), pursuant to a resale registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Commission, (c) any pledge of securities held by the Controlling Stockholder or any of the Holders (including the Holder) made pursuant to a bona fide loan transaction that creates a mere security interest, or (d) any bona fide gift to any charitable organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that in the event of any transfer made pursuant to one of the exemptions provided by each such Transferee, prior to the completion of the Transfer, shall have executed documents assuming the obligations of the Transferor under this Note with respect to the Transferred securities. In addition, the first refusal and co-sale rights of the Holder terminate if the Holder holds less than 25% of the original principal amount of this Note (or the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to conversion of such principal amount) and shall not be available to any Transferee of less than 25% of the original principal amount of this Note (or the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to conversion of such principal amount).

10.

Conversion Price Adjustment.

The Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 10.

(a)

Stock Dividends and Splits .  If the Company (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

-22-


 

(b)

Fundamental Transactions .  If there is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Note, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Conversion Shares then issuable upon conversion in full of this Note (the “ Alternative Consideration ”).  For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternative Consideration based on the amount of Alternative Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternative Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternative 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 Alternative Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder's option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new note substantially in the form of this Note and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to purchase the Alternative Consideration for the aggregate Conversion Price upon conversion thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

(c)

Subsequent Equity Sales .

(i)

If the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the then current Conversion Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price), then, the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or such Common Stock Equivalents plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the offering price for such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents would purchase at the Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or issuable. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the third Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms.

(ii)

For purposes of this subsection 10(c), the following subsections (c)(ii)(A) to (c)(ii)(F) shall also be applicable:

(A)

Issuance of Rights or Options . In case at any time the Company shall in any manner grant (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants, rights or options being called “ Options ” and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called “ Convertible Securities ”) whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of granting of such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Conversion Price. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 10(c)(ii)(C), no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(B)

Issuance of Convertible Securities .  In case the Company shall in any manner issue (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Conversion Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in subsection 10(c)(ii)(C), no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Conversion Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of subsection 10(c).

-24-


 

(C)

Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate .  Upon the happening of any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in subsection 10(c)(ii)(A) hereof, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 8(c)(ii)(A) or 8(c)(ii)(B), or the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 8(c)(ii)(A) or 8(c)(ii)(B) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (including, but not limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. On the termination of any Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 10(c) or any right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 10(c) (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by the Company), the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination, never been issued. 

(D)

Stock Dividends .  Subject to the provisions of this subsection 10(c), in case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company (other than the Common Stock) payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Section 10(a) is applicable to the declaration by the Company of a stock dividend or other distribution, then Section 10(c) shall not apply to that dividend or other distribution.

-25-


 

(E)

Consideration for Stock .  In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor, after deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, after deduction of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold by the Company and, in connection therewith, other Options or Convertible Securities (the “ Additional Rights ”) are issued, then the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company shall be reduced by the fair market value of the Additional Rights (as determined using a method mutually agreed to by the Company and the Holder).  The Board of Directors of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Holders as to the fair market value of the Additional Rights. In the event that the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holders are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Additional Rights, the Company and the Holders shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters. The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall be borne evenly by the Company and the Holder. 

(F)

Record Date .  In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(iii)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this paragraph (c) in respect of: (1) the issuance of securities upon the exercise or conversion of any Common Stock Equivalents issued by the Company prior to the Date of this Note (but will apply to any amendments, modifications, and reissuances thereof and as a result of any changes, resets or adjustments to a conversion or exercise price thereunder whether or not as a result of any amendment, modification or reissuance), (2) the grant of options or the issuance of securities upon exercise of options granted under any Authorized EIP or the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes, the Warrants or any warrants existing on or before the Closing Date, or (3) the grant of options or warrants, or the issuance of securities in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(d)

Number of Conversion Shares .  Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 10, the number of Conversion Shares that may be issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Conversion Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Conversion Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(e)

Calculations .  All calculations under this Section 10 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100 th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(f)

Notice of Adjustments .  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 10, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Note and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Conversion Price and adjusted number or type of Note Shares or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Note (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company's Transfer Agent.

(g)

Notice of Corporate Events .  If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction (but only to the extent such disclosure would not result in the dissemination of material, non-public information to the Holder) at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to convert this Note prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

(i)

all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes which have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been remedied, cured or waived, and  

(ii)

the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;  

provided , however , that in the event such declaration of acceleration has been made based on the existence of an Event of Default under subclause (iv) above and the default with respect to Indebtedness for money borrowed which gave rise to such Event of Default has been remedied, cured or waived, then, without any further action by the Holders, such declaration of acceleration shall be rescinded automatically and the consequences of such declaration shall be annulled. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d)

 The Holders, through the written consent of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive an existing Event of Default, except an Event of Default:  

(i)

If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

     (c)

If by on or after the fifth Trading Day after a Date of Exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number of certificates for such Warrant Shares to the Holder, and if after such fifth Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within five Business Days after the Holder’s written request indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount 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 (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Date of Exercise and (2) 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 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.

     (d)

The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. 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 Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

     6.

Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any Transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares or Alternative Consideration upon exercise hereof.

     7.

Replacement of Warrant . If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only with respect to the unexercised portion and only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

     8.

Reservation of Warrant Shares . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

- 7 -


     9.

Certain Adjustments . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

     (a)

Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

     (b)

Fundamental Transactions . If there is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “ Alternative Consideration ”). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternative Consideration based on the amount of Alternative Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternative Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternative 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 Alternative Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder's option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant for a term equal to the remainder of the term of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to purchase the Alternative Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

 

(c)

Subsequent Equity Sales .

(i)

If the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the then current Exercise Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price), then, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or such Common Stock Equivalents plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the offering price for such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents would purchase at the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or issuable. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the third Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms.

On the termination of any Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 9(c) or any right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 9(c) (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by the Company), the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination, never been issued.

In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold by the Company and, in connection therewith, other Options or Convertible Securities (the “ Additional Rights ”) are issued, then the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company shall be reduced by the fair market value of the Additional Rights (as determined using a method mutually agreed to by the Company and the Holder). The Board of Directors of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Holders as to the fair market value of the Additional Rights. In the event that the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holders are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Additional Rights, the Company and the Holders shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters. The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall be borne evenly by the Company and the Holder.

(i)

An Investor 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 Investor Party or Parties unless: (A) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (B) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Investor Party in any such Proceeding; or (C) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Investor Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Investor Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Investor Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Investor 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 such 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.

(c)

The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Investor 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 Investor 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 Section 4.10(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable 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 4.10(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 4.10(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the 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.

(i)

collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof;

(ii)

demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable to or receivable by the Pledgor on account of all or any part of the Collateral;

cause any action at law or suit in equity or other proceeding to be instituted and prosecuted to collect or enforce any Guaranteed Obligations or rights hereunder or included in the Collateral, including specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in the Transaction Documents, or foreclose or enforce the security interest in all or any part of the Collateral granted herein, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in it by this Agreement or by law, and/or may forthwith incur expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees, and other costs appropriate to the exercise of any right or power under this Agreement;

(iv)

sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more portions at public or private sale or sales or transactions, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Secured Parties’ offices or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Parties may reasonably deem advisable and at such prices as it may reasonably deem best, for any combination of cash and/or securities or other property or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the right to the Secured Parties upon any such sale or sales, public or private, to purchase, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold free of any claim or right of any kind whatsoever.

(c)

The Secured Parties agree to give Pledgor at least 15 days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale and that such notice shall constitute commercially reasonable notification of such matter. If a private sale or other intended disposition is to take place after a public sale, then such sale or disposition may not occur unless the Secured Parties shall have provided the Pledgor with notice of such intended sale or disposition (“ Private Sale Notice ”) and the Pledgor shall have the right, exercisable within 15 days after receipt of the Private Sale Noice, of first refusal to purchase the Collateral being sold or disposed of. The Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale may be less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or may be less than the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, even if the Secured Parties accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

(d)

In addition to the rights and remedies granted to the Secured Parties in this Agreement, the Secured Parties shall have all the rights and remedies of secured parties under the UCC.

11.

Agents and Representatives .  The remedies provided in Section 7 herein shall only be exercised or otherwise enforced with the written consent of Secured Parties holding at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (“ Majority Secured Parties ”). The Majority Secured Parties may appoint an agent (the “ Agent ”) that, at the direction of Majority Secured Parties, shall have the right to exercise any right or remedy of the Secured Parties, on behalf of all Secured Parties, under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. If an Agent is so appointed:

(a)  

At the direction of the Majority Secured Parties, the Agent shall proceed with the enforcement of the Secured Parties' rights against the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Notes. Any repossession, sale or distribution of proceeds of Collateral shall be accomplished as required by this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and applicable law. The Agent is authorized to exercise all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties under the Transaction Documents, provided that, absent exigent circumstances where action is determined by the Agent to be necessary to protect Collateral, the Agent shall not proceed to enforce the Secured Parties' rights and remedies against the Collateral or the Pledgor by foreclosure, judicial action or the like (“ Enforcement Action ”), unless and until directed to do so by the Majority Secured Parties. Unless the Agent shall request further guidance or consents, any direction by the Majority Secured Parties to begin Enforcement Action may merely state that the Agent shall begin enforcement, and need not specify the manner in which enforcement should proceed. Once the Agent receives an enforcement direction from the Majority Secured Parties, all decisions as to how to proceed to enforce the Secured Parties' rights and remedies, including, without limitation, the methods and timing of proceeding, may be made by the Agent in its good faith business judgment, with such consultation with the Secured Parties as the Agent in its sole discretion deems reasonable under the circumstances. In the event of one or more foreclosure sales, the Agent shall have the right to bid in the claim of each Secured Party on behalf of each Secured Party in respect of its respective Note.                      

13


(b)  

Unless consented to by all of the Secured Parties, no Secured Party shall, except through the Agent, collect, take possession of, foreclose upon, or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral or the Pledgor, judicially or non-judicially, in order to satisfy or collect any Guaranteed Obligations or attempt to do any of the foregoing.

(c)

If the Collateral is acquired by the Agent by foreclosure sale or otherwise, at the option of the Agent, title may be taken in the name of the Agent or in the name of a corporation affiliated with the Agent or other nominee designated by the Agent, in any case, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties subject to the terms of this Agreement. Although the Agent shall consult with the Secured Parties as to the general operation and disposition of any Collateral for which title has been acquired through foreclosure or otherwise, the consent of the Secured Parties shall not be required for matters and decisions by the Agent relating to the management, operation, or repair of the Collateral so acquired.                      

(d)

The costs of repossession, sale, possession and management (including, without limitation, any costs of holding any Collateral the title to which is acquired by the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties), and distribution pursuant to Section 7 herein shall be an obligation of the Pledgor, and to the extent the Pledgor does not cover such costs, shall be borne Pro Rata by the Secured Parties until repaid by the Pledgor. Each Secured Party shall reimburse the Agent for its Pro Rata share of all such costs promptly upon demand. Without limiting any obligations of any Secured Party to reimburse the Agent as contained herein, in the event of the Pledgor’s failure to pay taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, claims against the Collateral or any other amount required to be paid by the Pledgor pursuant to any Transaction Documents, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) advance amounts necessary to pay the same, and each Secured Party agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata share of any such payments, provided Agent has advanced such amounts with the approval of the Majority Secured Parties. “ Pro Rata ” means, as to any Secured Party at any time, (a) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, the percentage equivalent at such time of (i) such Secured Party's aggregate unpaid Guaranteed Obligations amount under the Notes, divided by (ii) the combined aggregate unpaid Guaranteed Obligations amount of all Notes of all Secured Parties.

Exhibit 10.3

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement, dated as of June __, 2009, is made by and between CHINA BIOLOGIC PRODUCTS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and SIU LING CHAN, the controlling shareholder of the Company (the “ Indemnitee ”).

RECITALS

A.

The Company desires to issue to certain accredited investors or their designees (the “ Secured Parties ”), 3.8% senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $9,554,140 (the “ Notes ”), convertible into shares of common stock of the Company (the “ Conversion Shares ”) and warrants (the “ Warrants ” and together with the Notes, the “ Subscribed Securities ”) to purchase up to 1,194,268 shares of common stock of the Company, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 5, 2009, by and among the Company, Siu Ling Chan and the Secured Parties (the “ Purchase Agreement ”).

B.

The Indemnitee owns 6,862,624 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represent in the aggregate 32.0% of the outstanding shares in the Company.  To induce the Secured Parties’ agreement to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Indemnitee has agreed to pledge 3,000,000 of her shares (the “ Pledged Shares ”) to secure the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants, pursuant to a Guarantee and Pledge Agreement to be entered into as of the date thereof, by and among the Indemnitee and the Secured Parties (the “ Guarantee and Pledge Agreement ” and together with the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants, the “ Transaction Documents ”). For purposes hereof, all capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement.

C.

The Board of Directors of the Company has concluded that, the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement has been entered and delivered for the benefit of the Company, and that it is proper to indemnify the Indemnitee against any and all losses that she may suffer in connection with the Company’s failure to fulfill the Guaranteed Obligations as a result of any negligent or unlawful conduct of the Company beyond the Indemnitee’s reasonable control.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

1.

Subject to Section 3 below, the Company shall make whole, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee with respect to any and all damages, liabilities, losses, taxes, fines, penalties, proceedings, suits, damages, deficiencies, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, interest at the highest rate permitted by law, reasonable fees of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing) (“ Losses ”), which may be sustained or suffered by the Indemnitee, arising out of or in connection with any Enforcement Action instituted by the Secured Parties against the Indemnitee pursuant the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement, for the Company’s failure to fulfill the Guaranteed Obligations.

2.

The indemnification obligation of the Company under Section 1 hereof, shall only apply to Losses that arise as the result of any negligent or unlawful conduct of the Company that is caused unilaterally by the Company and is beyond the Indemnitee’s control in her capacity as a director of the Company.  Furthermore, the Company’s total obligations under Section 1 shall not exceed the fair market value of the Pledged Shares as of the date hereof.


3.

The Indemnitee agrees to provide timely written notice to the Company of any Enforcement Action, specifying in sufficient detail the nature and amount of any claim in connection with such  Enforcement Action.  All fees and expenses of Indemnitee (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Enforcement Action) shall be paid to the Indemnitee, as incurred, within fifteen (15) calendar days of written notice thereof to the Company; provided, however, that if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Enforcement Action was not as a result of any negligent or unlawful conduct of the Company beyond the Indemnitee’s reasonable control such that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnitee agrees to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that the Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

4.
