AGREEMENT TO AMEND 12.5% MARCH EXCHANGE SECURED CONVERTIBLE

NOTES DUE JULY 1, 2011




     THIS AGREEMENT TO AMEND 12.5% MARCH EXCHANGE SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES DUE JULY 1, 2011, dated
May 14, 2009 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by BMP Sunstone Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and the other signatories hereto (collectively, the
“Applicable Noteholders”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have
the meanings assigned to such terms in the Original Notes (as defined below).



     WHEREAS, the Company issued $1,000,000 in principal amount of 12.5% March Exchange Secured
Notes due July 1, 2011 on March 13, 2009 (the “Original Notes”); and



     WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend certain provisions of the Original Notes relating
to the conversion price and covenants of the Company set forth therein; and



     WHEREAS, the Applicable Noteholders hereto constitute a Majority in Interest, which, pursuant
to Section 11(g) of the Original Notes, and together with the Company, constitutes all of the
parties required to approve this Agreement.



     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:



1. Section 8(a)(i) of the Original Notes that reads:





“(i) Subject to Section 8(a)(ii), at any time after May 15, 2009,
the Holder shall have the option to convert, as a whole or in part, up
to the entire amount outstanding under this Note (including the accrued
but unpaid interest) (the “Conversion Amount”) into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the
Company (the “Common Shares”) from time to time at a conversion price
(the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustments as set forth in
Section 9, equal to $3.00; provided that, if the Company issues Common
Shares in one or more offerings to investors (other than any offerings
following the closing of a Qualified Offering) on or prior to December
31, 2009 (any such issuance, an “Offering”), the Conversion Price shall
equal, at the time of any conversion of the Note, the lesser of (i)
$3.00, (ii) 115% of the lowest price per Common Share (after deducting
the value, as determined by the Company, of any warrants or other
securities issued in such Offering) for which the Company sells Common
Shares in any Offering or (iii) 115% of the VWAP (as defined below) for
the period from and including October 15, 2009 through and including
December 15, 2009, provided that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, the Conversion Price shall not be less than $2.00. “VWAP”
means the volume weighted average price (the aggregate sales price of
all trades of Common Shares during



 









 







each Trading Day divided by the total number of shares of Common Shares
traded during such Trading Day) of the Common Shares during any Trading
Day as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. using the AQR function. “Trading
Day” means any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the
Principal Market is open for trading in equity securities. “Principal
Market” means the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Select
Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the American Stock Exchange or the New
York Stock Exchange, whichever is at the time the principal trading
exchange or market for the Common Shares.”




is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:




“(i) Subject to Section 8(a)(ii), at any time after May 15, 2009, the
Holder shall have the option to convert, as a whole or in part, up to
the entire amount outstanding under this Note (including the accrued but
unpaid interest) (the “Conversion Amount”) into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the
Company (the “Common Shares”) from time to time at a conversion price
(the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustments as set forth in
Section 9, equal to $3.00.”



2. The following is inserted as a new Section 3(e) immediately following Section 3(d) of the
Original Notes:





“(e) The Company shall not issue equity, convertible debt or any
securities convertible or exercisable into equity at an amount equal to
or less than $2.75 per Common Share (with such $2.75 amount to include
the fair value of any option, warrant or similar right offered by the
Company and to be adjusted in the manner identical to the adjustment of
the Conversion Price as provided in Section 9) until December 31, 2009.”


3. Effective Date. This Agreement and the amendments to the Original Notes contained
herein are deemed effective as of the date of issuance of the Original Notes.



4. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall amend and is incorporated into and made part of
the Original Notes. To the extent any term or provision of this Agreement may be deemed expressly
inconsistent with any term or provision in the Original Notes, the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall control. Except as expressly amended by this Agreement, all of the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Original Notes are hereby ratified and continue unchanged and
remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the
benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.



5. Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION,
