WARRANT AGREEMENT

THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated this 14th day of March 2006, by and between NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Aspen Select Healthcare, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Warrant Holder”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain letter agreement between the parties, dated January 18, 2006 (the “Letter Agreement”), the Warrant Holder has exercised its Equity Purchase Rights (as defined in the Letter Agreement) and entered into a subscription agreement of even date herewith, for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “New Equity”); and 

WHEREAS, as part of the Letter Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Warrant Holder a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) as an inducement to the Warrant Holder to enter into the Letter Agreement and purchase the New Equity.

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

1.            Incorporation of Recitals.      The Recitals portion of this Agreement is hereby incorporated by this reference as though it were fully set forth and rewritten herein, and the affirmative statements therein contained shall be deemed to be representations of the Company and the Warrant Holder, which are hereby confirmed.

 

2.            Warrant.  The Company hereby grants to the Warrant Holder, subject to the terms set forth herein, the right to purchase at any time during the term (the “Warrant Exercise Term”) commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5:30 p.m., New York time on the January 21, 2011 (the “Expiration Date”) 450,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), at an exercise price of $0.26 per share (the “Exercise Price”).  

	
             
 	
            3.
 	
            Exercise of Warrant.  
 

3.1         Exercise.  The Warrant may be exercised by the Warrant Holder, in whole or in part, by delivering the Notice of Exercise purchase form, attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly executed by the Warrant Holder to the Company at its principal office, or at such other office as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment, in cash or by wire transfer or check payable to the order of the Company, of the amount obtained by

multiplying the number of Shares designated in the Notice of Exercise by the Exercise Price (the “Purchase Price”).  The Purchase Price may also be paid, in whole or in part, by delivery of such purchase form and of shares of Common Stock owned by the Warrant Holder having a Market Price (as defined in Section 3.3 hereof) on the last business day ending the day immediately prior to the Exercise Date (as defined below) equal to the portion of the aggregate Exercise Price being paid in such shares.  In addition, the Warrant may be exercised, pursuant to a cashless exercise by providing irrevocable instructions to the Company, through delivery of the Notice of Exercise with an appropriate reference to this Section 3.1 to issue the number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised multiplied by (b) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Market Price of a share of the Common Stock on the last business day preceding the Exercise Date less the Exercise Price therefor and the denominator of which is such Market Price.  For purposes hereof, “Exercise Date” shall mean the date on which all deliveries required to be made to the Company upon exercise of the Warrant pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall have been made.

3.2          Issuance of Certificates.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of the Warrant (in whole or in part) in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof, the Company, at its expense, shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrant Holder (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of fully-paid and non-assessable Shares to which the Warrant Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise and (if applicable) (ii) a new warrant agreement of like tenor to purchase all of the Shares that may be purchased pursuant to the portion, if any, of the Warrant not exercised by the Warrant Holder.  The Warrant Holder shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Shares on the date on which the Notice of Exercise and payment of the
Purchase Price in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof were delivered and made, respectively, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that if the date of such delivery, notice and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

3.3          Market Price.  The “Market Price” of a share of Common Stock means:  the average of the daily volume weighted average price of shares of Common Stock on the principal market on which shares of the Common Stock are traded for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of the determination of the Market Price.  If shares of Common Stock are not traded on any public market (e.g. NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ, OTCBB or Pink Sheets), the Market Price of the Common Stock shall be determined, in good faith, by the Board of Directors of the Company.

	
             
 	
            4.
 	
            Adjustments.
 

4.1          Stock Splits, Stock Dividends and Combinations.  If the Company at any time subdivides the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or issues a stock dividend (in Common Stock) on the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the issuance of such stock dividend shall be proportionately decreased, and the number of Shares subject hereto shall be proportionately increased, and if the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, and the number of Shares subject hereto shall be

proportionately decreased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.

4.2          Merger or Consolidation.  In the case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into another entity (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding capital stock of the Company), the entity formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Holder a supplemental warrant agreement providing that the Warrant Holder of the Warrant then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of such Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of Shares
for which such Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation or merger.  Such supplemental warrant agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided in Section 4.1 hereof and to the provisions of Section 11 hereof.  This Section 4.2 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.

 

	
             
 	
            5.
 	
            Transfers.
 

5.1          Unregistered Securities.  Warrant Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, s amended (the “Securities Act”), and are “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering, and the Warrant Holder agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Warrant or any Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant in the absence of (a) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to the Warrant or such Shares and registration and/or qualification of the Warrant or such Shares under any applicable Federal or state securities law
then in effect or (b) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required.

5.2         Transferability.  Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, the rights under this Agreement are freely transferable, in whole or in part, by the Warrant Holder, and such transferee shall have the same rights hereunder as the Warrant Holder.

5.3          Warrant Register.  The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Warrant Holders of the Warrant.  Until any transfer of Warrant in accordance with this Agreement is reflected in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Warrant Holder as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes.  Any Warrant Holder may change such Warrant Holder’s address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.

6.            No Fractional Shares.  Any adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

7.            Investment Representations.  The Warrant Holder agrees and acknowledges that it is acquiring the Warrant and will be acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view to any resale or distribution other than in accordance with Federal and state securities laws.  The Warrant Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

8.            Covenants as to the Shares.  The Company covenants and agrees that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully-paid and non-assessable, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof imposed by or through the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificates in respect of such shares in a name other
than that of the Warrant Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person(s) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or it shall be established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.  The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented under this Agreement.

9.            Legend.  Any certificate evidencing the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof will bear a legend indicating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws and may not be sold or offered for sale in the absence of an effective registration statement as to the securities under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities law or an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required.

10.         Rights Applicable to the Warrant Shares.  The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be entitled to all of the same rights and privileges provided to the Company’s Common Stock.  

11.          Dividends and Other Distributions.   In the event that the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of all Warrants, declare a dividend (other than a dividend consisting solely of shares of Common Stock) or otherwise distribute to its stockholders any assets, properties, rights, evidence of indebtedness, securities (other than shares of Common Stock), whether issued by the Company or by another, or any other thing of value, the Warrant Holder shall thereafter be entitled, in addition to the shares of Common Stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise thereof, to receive, upon the exercise of such Warrant, the same assets, property, rights, evidences of indebtedness, securities or any other thing of value that the Warrant Holder
would have been entitled to receive at the time of such dividend or distribution as if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such dividend or distribution.  At the time of any such dividend or distribution, the Company shall make (and maintain) appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of the provisions of this Section 11.

12.          Vesting.  The Warrants subject to this Agreement are deemed vested in their entirety upon the date of this Agreement.

	
             
 	
            13.
 	
            Miscellaneous.

WARRANT AGREEMENT

THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated this 30th day of March 2006, by and between NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Aspen Select Healthcare, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Warrant Holder”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain letter agreement between the parties, dated January 18, 2006 (the “Letter Agreement”), the Warrant Holder has exercised its New Debt Rights (as defined in the Letter Agreement) and entered into an amended and restated loan agreement, of even date herewith, which among other things provides the Company with an additional $200,000 of borrowing capacity under the Company’s loan agreement with the Warrant Holder (the “New Debt”); and 

WHEREAS, as part of the Letter Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Warrant Holder a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) as an inducement to the Warrant Holder to enter into the Letter Agreement and make available the New Debt.

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

1.            Incorporation of Recitals.      The Recitals portion of this Agreement is hereby incorporated by this reference as though it were fully set forth and rewritten herein, and the affirmative statements therein contained shall be deemed to be representations of the Company and the Warrant Holder, which are hereby confirmed.

 

2.            Warrant.  The Company hereby grants to the Warrant Holder, subject to the terms set forth herein, the right to purchase at any time during the term (the “Warrant Exercise Term”) commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5:30 p.m., New York time on the January 21, 2011 (the “Expiration Date”) 450,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), at an exercise price of $0.26 per share (the “Exercise Price”).  

	
             
 	
            3.
 	
            Exercise of Warrant.  
 

3.1         Exercise.  The Warrant may be exercised by the Warrant Holder, in whole or in part, by delivering the Notice of Exercise purchase form, attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly executed by the Warrant Holder to the Company at its principal office, or at such other office as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment, in cash 

 

MI-175075 v2 0437575-0201

 

Execution Copy

 

or by wire transfer or check payable to the order of the Company, of the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Shares designated in the Notice of Exercise by the Exercise Price (the “Purchase Price”).  The Purchase Price may also be paid, in whole or in part, by delivery of such purchase form and of shares of Common Stock owned by the Warrant Holder having a Market Price (as defined in Section 3.3 hereof) on the last business day ending the day immediately prior to the Exercise Date (as defined below) equal to the portion of the aggregate Exercise Price being paid in such shares.  In addition, the Warrant may be exercised, pursuant to a cashless exercise by providing irrevocable instructions to the Company, through delivery of the Notice of Exercise with an appropriate reference to this Section 3.1 to issue the number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of
shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Market Price of a share of the Common Stock on the last business day preceding the Exercise Date less the Exercise Price therefor and the denominator of which is such Market Price.  For purposes hereof, “Exercise Date” shall mean the date on which all deliveries required to be made to the Company upon exercise of the Warrant pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall have been made.

3.2          Issuance of Certificates.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of the Warrant (in whole or in part) in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof, the Company, at its expense, shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrant Holder (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of fully-paid and non-assessable Shares to which the Warrant Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise and (if applicable) (ii) a new warrant agreement of like tenor to purchase all of the Shares that may be purchased pursuant to the portion, if any, of the Warrant not exercised by the Warrant Holder.  The Warrant Holder shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Shares on the date on which the Notice of Exercise and payment of the
Purchase Price in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof were delivered and made, respectively, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that if the date of such delivery, notice and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

3.3          Market Price.  The “Market Price” of a share of Common Stock means:  the average of the daily volume weighted average price of shares of Common Stock on the principal market on which shares of the Common Stock are traded for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of the determination of the Market Price.  If shares of Common Stock are not traded on any public market (e.g. NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ, OTCBB or Pink Sheets), the Market Price of the Common Stock shall be determined, in good faith, by the Board of Directors of the Company.

	
             
 	
            4.
 	
            Adjustments.
 

4.1          Stock Splits, Stock Dividends and Combinations.  If the Company at any time subdivides the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or issues a stock dividend (in Common Stock) on the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the issuance of such stock dividend shall be proportionately decreased, and the number of Shares subject hereto shall be proportionately increased, and if the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, and the number of Shares subject hereto shall be

proportionately decreased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.

4.2          Merger or Consolidation.  In the case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into another entity (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding capital stock of the Company), the entity formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Holder a supplemental warrant agreement providing that the Warrant Holder of the Warrant then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of such Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of Shares
for which such Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation or merger.  Such supplemental warrant agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided in Section 4.1 hereof and to the provisions of Section 11 hereof.  This Section 4.2 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.

	
             
 	
            5.
 	
            Transfers.
 

5.1          Unregistered Securities.  Warrant Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering, and the Warrant Holder agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Warrant or any Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant in the absence of (a) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to the Warrant or such Shares and registration and/or qualification of the Warrant or such Shares under any applicable Federal or state securities law
then in effect or (b) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required.

5.2         Transferability.  Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, the rights under this Agreement are freely transferable, in whole or in part, by the Warrant Holder, and such transferee shall have the same rights hereunder as the Warrant Holder.

5.3          Warrant Register.  The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Warrant Holders of the Warrant.  Until any transfer of Warrant in accordance with this Agreement is reflected in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Warrant Holder as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes.  Any Warrant Holder may change such Warrant Holder’s address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.

6.            No Fractional Shares.  Any adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

7.            Investment Representations.  The Warrant Holder agrees and acknowledges that it is acquiring the Warrant and will be acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view to any resale or distribution other than in accordance with Federal and state securities laws.  The Warrant Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

8.            Covenants as to the Shares.  The Company covenants and agrees that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully-paid and non-assessable, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof imposed by or through the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificates in respect of such shares in a name other
than that of the Warrant Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person(s) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or it shall be established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.  The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented under this Agreement.

9.            Legend.  Any certificate evidencing the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof will bear a legend indicating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws and may not be sold or offered for sale in the absence of an effective registration statement as to the securities under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities law or an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required.

10.         Rights Applicable to the Warrant Shares.  The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be entitled to all of the same rights and privileges provided to the Company’s Common Stock.  

11.          Dividends and Other Distributions.   In the event that the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of all Warrants, declare a dividend (other than a dividend consisting solely of shares of Common Stock) or otherwise distribute to its stockholders any assets, properties, rights, evidence of indebtedness, securities (other than shares of Common Stock), whether issued by the Company or by another, or any other thing of value, the Warrant Holder shall thereafter be entitled, in addition to the shares of Common Stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise thereof, to receive, upon the exercise of such Warrant, the same assets, property, rights, evidences of indebtedness, securities or any other thing of value that the Warrant Holder
would have been entitled to receive at the time of such dividend or distribution as if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such dividend or distribution.  At the time of any such dividend or distribution, the Company shall make (and maintain) appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of the provisions of this Section 11.

12.          Vesting.  The Warrants subject to this Agreement are deemed vested in their entirety upon the date of this Agreement.
