Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or
their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), then the Company

of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered to the extent the Company may do so without violating registration rights of others which exist as of the date of this Agreement, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks
applicable to all holders of registration rights and subject to obtaining any required consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion under such registration statement. 
 B. Automatic Registration Rights 
 In
the event the Company does not prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement as set forth in Paragraph “3(A)” above on or before the twelve month anniversary (the “Registration Date”) of the date hereof, the
Company shall file a registration statement with the Commission which shall include the Registrable Securities on the Registration Date. 
 3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

 (a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as
possible to any comments received from the Commission, and use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto, and promptly provide to Laurus copies of all
filings and Commission letters of comment relating thereto; 
 (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period applicable to such Registration Statement; 
 (c) furnish to Laurus such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus) as Laurus reasonably may request to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; 







 (d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify Laurus’ Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as Laurus may reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required
to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 
 (e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then
listed; 
 (f) immediately notify Laurus at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act,
of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and 
 (g) make available for inspection by Laurus and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by Laurus, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company,
and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of Laurus. 
 4. Registration Expenses. All expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with Sections 2 hereof, including, without limitation, all
registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities
or “blue sky” laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, reasonable fees of, and disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the Holders approved in advance by the Company, are called “Registration
Expenses.” All selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders beyond those included in Registration Expenses, are called “Selling
Expenses.” The Company shall only be responsible for all Registration Expenses. 
 5. Indemnification. 
 (a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold
harmless Laurus, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls Laurus within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which Laurus, or such persons may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or 








 
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any
Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse Laurus, and each such person for any reasonable
legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any
such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of Laurus or any such person in
writing specifically for use in any such document, or the failure of Laurus to deliver a Prospectus, to the extent that Laurus was required to do so under applicable securities laws. 
 (b) In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, Laurus will indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such
persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact which was furnished in writing by Laurus to the Company expressly for use in (and such information is contained in) the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that Laurus will be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Laurus specifically for use in any such document. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, Laurus shall not be
required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by Laurus in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any
action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against a party hereto obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing
thereof, but the omission so to notify the 








 
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party other than under this Section 5(c) and shall only
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) if and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party
and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this
Section 5(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; if the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, then the Indemnified Party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of
such counsel, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such
participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. 
 (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the
event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) Laurus, or any officer, director or controlling person of Laurus, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 but it is judicially
determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding
the fact that this Section 5 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of Laurus or such officer, director or controlling person of Laurus in circumstances for
which indemnification is provided under this Section 5; then, and in each such case, the Company and Laurus will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in
such proportion so that Laurus is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by
such Registration Statement; provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) Laurus will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such Registration
Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. 







 6. Representations and Warranties. 
 (a) The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The Company has filed: (i) its Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for each of its fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 and (ii) its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended on March 31, 2006 (collectively, the “SEC Reports”). Each SEC
Report was, at the time of its filing, in substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of their respective
filing dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and
regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be
otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed) and fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, the results of operations and the cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods presented in each such SEC Report. 
 (b) The Common Stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market and satisfies all requirements for the continuation of such listing, and the
Company shall do all things necessary for the continuation of such listing. The Company has not received any notice that its Common Stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market (except for prior notices which have been fully remedied) or
that the Common Stock does not meet all requirements for the continuation of such listing. 
 (c) The New Warrants and the shares of Common
Stock which Laurus may acquire pursuant to the New Warrants are all restricted securities under the Securities Act as of the date of this Agreement. The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale and delivery of
any of the Registrable Securities at such time as such Registrable Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from registration is available, except as required by federal or state securities laws. 
 (d) The Company understands the nature of the Registrable Securities issuable upon the conversion of the New Warrants and recognizes that the issuance of
such Registrable Securities may have a potential dilutive effect. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Registrable Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may
have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company. 







 (e) Except for agreements made in the ordinary course of business, there is no agreement that has not
been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement or to a form required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, the breach of which could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Company
and its subsidiaries, or would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. 
 (f) The Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the full exercise of the New Warrants.

 7. Miscellaneous. 
 (a)
Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law
and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. 
 (b)
Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 (c) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice
from the Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation Event (as defined below) such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the
copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies
of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph. For
purposes of this Agreement, a “Discontinuation Event” shall mean (i) 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 (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for
amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement covering any or all of the
Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) 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/or (v) the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in such 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 Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (d) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the
Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities,
other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable
in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in
writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered to the extent the Company may do so without violating registration rights of others which exist as
of the date of this Agreement, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and subject to obtaining any required consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion under such registration
statement. 
 (e) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders
may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance
with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. 
 (f) Notices. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to the Company
or Laurus at the respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a change of address under this Section 8(f). Any notice or request hereunder shall be given by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, hand delivery, overnight mail, Federal Express or other national overnight next day carrier (collectively, “Courier”) or telecopy (confirmed by mail). Notices and requests shall be, in the case of those by hand delivery,
deemed to have been given when delivered to any party to whom it is addressed, in the case of those by mail or overnight mail, deemed to have been given three (3) business days after the date when deposited in 








 
the mail or with the overnight mail carrier, in the case of a Courier, the next business day following timely delivery of the package with the Courier, and,

construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such State, without regard to principles of conflicts of law (other than the principles set forth in Section 5-1401 of the
General Obligations Law of the State of New York). The Company hereby consents and agrees that the state or federal courts located in the County of New York, State of New York shall have exclusion jurisdiction to hear and determine any Proceeding
between the Company, on the one hand, and Laurus, on the other hand, pertaining to this Agreement or to any matter arising out of or related to this Agreement; provided, that Laurus and the Company acknowledge that any appeals from those
courts may have to be heard by a court located outside of the County of New York, State of New York, and further provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude Laurus from bringing a Proceeding in any
other jurisdiction to collect the obligations, to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Laurus. The Company expressly submits and consents in advance to such
jurisdiction in any Proceeding commenced in any such court, and the Company hereby waives any objection which it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens. The Company hereby waives personal
service of the summons, complaint and other process issued in any such Proceeding and agrees that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to the Company at the address set forth in

disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. Therefore, to achieve the best combination of the benefits of the judicial system and of arbitration, the parties hereto waive all rights to trial by jury in any Proceeding brought to
resolve any dispute, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise between Laurus and/or the Company arising out of, connected with, related or incidental to the relationship established between then in connection with this Agreement. If either
party hereto shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding. 
 (j)

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

	 	Re:	BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. Registration Statement on Form [S-3] 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 As
counsel to BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), we have been requested to render our opinion to you in connection with the resale by the individuals or entitles listed on Schedule A attached
hereto (the “Selling Stockholders”), of an aggregate of                      shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s
Common Stock. 
 A Registration Statement on Form [S-3] under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with respect to
the resale of the Shares was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on [date]. Enclosed is the Prospectus dated [date]. We understand that the Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner described in the Prospectus.

 Based upon the foregoing, upon request by the Selling Stockholders at any time while the registration statement remains effective, it is
our opinion that the Shares have been registered for resale under the Act and new certificates evidencing the Shares upon their transfer or re-registration by the Selling Stockholders may be issued without restrictive legend. We will advise you if
the registration statement is not available or effective at any point in the future. 
  

	
	Very truly yours,
	
	[Company counsel]
