COMMON
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT


 


COMMON
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of October 28, 2019, by and between CELSION CORPORATION,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ASPIRE CAPITAL FUND, LLC, an Illinois limited liability
company (the “Buyer”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Section
10 hereof.


 


WHEREAS:


 


Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company wishes to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to buy
from the Company, up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
“Common Stock”). The shares of Common Stock to be purchased hereunder are referred to herein as the “Purchase
Shares.”


 


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


 


	 	1.	PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK. 




 


Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer has the
obligation to purchase from the Company, Purchase Shares as follows:


 


(a)
Commencement of Purchases of Common Stock. Any time after Commencement (as defined below), the purchase and sale of Purchase
Shares hereunder may occur from time to time upon written notices by the Company to the Buyer on the terms and conditions as set
forth herein following the satisfaction of the conditions (the “Commencement”) as set forth in Sections 6 and
7 below (the date of satisfaction of such conditions, the “Commencement Date”).


 


(b)
The Company’s Right to Require Regular Purchases. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on any given
Business Day after the Commencement Date, the Company shall have the right but not the obligation to direct the Buyer by its delivery
to the Buyer of a Purchase Notice from time to time, and the Buyer thereupon shall have the obligation, to buy the number of Purchase
Shares specified in such notice, up to 100,000 Purchase Shares, on such Business Day (as long as such notice is delivered on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on such Business Day) (each such purchase, a “Regular Purchase”) at the Purchase Price on
the Purchase Date; however, in no event shall the Purchase Amount of a Regular Purchase exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000)
per Business Day.  The Company may deliver additional Purchase Notices to the Buyer from time to time so
long as the most recent purchase has been completed. The share amounts in this Section 1(b) shall be appropriately adjusted
for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


(c)
VWAP Purchases. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in addition to purchases of Purchase Shares as described
in Section 1(b) above, with one Business Day’s prior written notice (as long as such notice is delivered on or before 5:00
p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day immediately preceding the VWAP Purchase Date), the Company shall also have the right but
not the obligation to direct the Buyer by the Company’s delivery to the Buyer of a VWAP Purchase Notice from time to time,
and the Buyer thereupon shall have the obligation, to buy the VWAP Purchase Share Percentage of the trading volume of the Common
Stock on the VWAP Purchase Date up to the VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum on the VWAP Purchase Date (each such purchase, a
“VWAP Purchase”) at the VWAP Purchase Price. The Company may deliver a VWAP Purchase Notice to the Buyer on
or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on a date on which the Company also submitted a Purchase Notice for a Regular Purchase of 100,000
Purchase Shares to the Buyer. The share amount in the prior sentence shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization,
non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar transaction. A VWAP Purchase shall automatically be deemed
completed at such time on the VWAP Purchase Date that the Sale Price falls below the VWAP Minimum Price Threshold; in such circumstance,
the VWAP Purchase Amount shall be calculated using (i) the VWAP Purchase Share Percentage of the aggregate shares traded on the
Principal Market for such portion of the VWAP Purchase Date prior to the time that the Sale Price fell below the VWAP Minimum
Price Threshold and (ii) a VWAP Purchase Price calculated using the volume weighted average price of Common Stock sold during
such portion of the VWAP Purchase Date prior to the time that the Sale Price fell below the VWAP Minimum Price Threshold. Each
VWAP Purchase Notice must be accompanied by instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent to immediately issue to the Buyer
an amount of Common Stock equal to the VWAP Purchase Share Estimate, a good faith estimate by the Company of the number of Purchase
Shares that the Buyer shall have the obligation to buy pursuant to the VWAP Purchase Notice. In no event shall the Buyer, pursuant
to any VWAP Purchase, purchase a number of Purchase Shares that exceeds the VWAP Purchase Share Estimate issued on the VWAP Purchase
Date in connection with such VWAP Purchase Notice; however, the Buyer will immediately return to the Company any amount of Common
Stock issued pursuant to the VWAP Purchase Share Estimate that exceeds the number of Purchase Shares the Buyer actually purchases
in connection with such VWAP Purchase. Upon completion of each VWAP Purchase Date, the Buyer shall submit to the Company a confirmation
of the VWAP Purchase in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company may deliver additional VWAP Purchase
Notices to the Buyer from time to time so long as the most recent purchase has been completed.


 


(d)
Payment for Purchase Shares. For each Regular Purchase, the Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase
Amount as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds on the same Business Day that
the Buyer receives such Purchase Shares. For each VWAP Purchase, the Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the VWAP
Purchase Amount as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds on the second Business
Day following the VWAP Purchase Date. All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States
of America via wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by
written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this
Agreement is due on any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day that is a Business
Day.


 


(e)
Purchase Price Floor. The Company and the Buyer shall not effect any sales under this Agreement on any Purchase Date where
the Closing Sale Price is less than the Floor Price. “Floor Price” means $0.25 per share of Common Stock, which
shall not be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar
transaction.


 


(f)
Records of Purchases. The Buyer and the Company shall each maintain records showing the remaining Available Amount at any
given time and the dates and Purchase Amounts for each purchase, or shall use such other method reasonably satisfactory to the
Buyer and the Company to reconcile the remaining Available Amount.

(g)
Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp or similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance
and delivery of any shares of Common Stock to the Buyer made under this Agreement.


 


(h)
Compliance with Principal Market Rules. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and in addition to
the limitations set forth in Section 1(e), the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under this Agreement,
including the Commitment Shares (as defined in Section 4(e) hereof), shall be limited to 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the
“Exchange Cap”), which equals 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date
hereof, unless stockholder approval is obtained to issue more than such 19.99%. The Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted
for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction. The
foregoing limitation shall not apply if stockholder approval has not been obtained and at any time the Exchange Cap is reached
and at all times thereafter the average price paid for all shares of Common Stock issued under this Agreement is equal to or greater
than $1.7320 (the “Minimum Price”), a price equal to the lower of (1) the Closing Sale Price immediately
preceding the execution of this Agreement or (2) the arithmetic average of the five (5) Closing Sale Prices for the Common Stock
immediately preceding the execution of this Agreement (in such circumstance, for purposes of the Principal Market, the transaction
contemplated hereby would not be “below market” and the Exchange Cap would not apply). The Minimum Price shall be
appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other
similar transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required or permitted to issue, and the Buyer shall
not be required to purchase, any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement if such issuance would violate the rules or regulations
of the Principal Market. The Company may, in its sole discretion, determine whether to obtain stockholder approval to issue more
than 19.99% of its outstanding shares of Common Stock hereunder if such issuance would require stockholder approval under the
rules or regulations of the Principal Market.


 


(i)
Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company shall not issue and the Buyer shall not purchase any shares of Common Stock
under this Agreement if such shares proposed to be issued and sold, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then
owned beneficially (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934
Act”) and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by the Buyer and its affiliates would result in the beneficial ownership
by the Buyer and its affiliates of more than 19.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation
to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption
thereunder.

As of their respective dates (except as they have been correctly amended), the SEC Documents complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents,
and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC (except as they may have been properly amended), contained

dates (except as they have been properly amended), the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied

adverse change. The Company has not taken any steps, and does not currently expect to take any steps, to seek protection pursuant
to any Bankruptcy Law nor does the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors

or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s or the Company’s Subsidiaries’ officers or
directors in their capacities as such, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (each, an “Action”).
A description of each such Action, if any, is set forth in Schedule 3(h).

Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer’s Status. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer is acting solely in the
capacity of arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and

property rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as
now conducted, except as set forth in Schedule 3(j) or to the extent that the failure to own, possess, license or otherwise hold
adequate rights to use Intellectual Property would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except
as disclosed in Schedule 3(j), to the Company’s knowledge, none of the Company’s active and registered Intellectual
Property have expired or terminated, or, by the terms and conditions thereof, will expire or terminate within two years from the
date of this Agreement, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries

as set forth on Schedule 3(j), there is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought against, or to the Company’s
knowledge, being threatened against, the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding Intellectual Property, which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

permit.

and unreported taxes or filed valid extensions) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are
material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good
faith and has set aside on its books reserves reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods

to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company,
