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

     (a) Commencement of Regular Sales of Common Stock. Upon the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 8 hereof (the “Commencement,” and the date of satisfaction
of such conditions, the “Commencement Date”) the Company shall have the right but not the
obligation to direct the Investor by its delivery to the Investor of a Regular Purchase Notice from
time to time to buy Purchase Shares (each such purchase a “Regular Purchase”) in any amount up to
200,000 Purchase Shares per Regular Purchase Notice (and the amount so purchased, the “Regular
Purchase Amount”) at the Purchase Price on the Purchase Date. The Company may deliver a new
Regular Purchase Notice to the Investor so long as at least two (2) Business Days have passed since
the most recent Purchase Date.

     (b) Accelerated Purchases. At any time on or after the Commencement Date, the Company
shall also have the right to direct the Investor to buy up to 200,000 Purchase Shares (each such
purchase, an “Accelerated Purchase” and the amount so purchased, the “Accelerated Purchase Amount”)
per Accelerated Purchase Notice at the Accelerated Purchase Price on the Purchase Date by
delivering to the Investor Accelerated Purchase Notices provided that the Closing Sale Price of the
Common Stock must not be below $0.35 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization,
recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction) (the “Accelerated
Purchase Threshold Price”) on the Purchase Date. With respect to each such Accelerated Purchase,
the Company must deliver the Purchase Shares before 1:00 p.m. eastern time on the Business Day
following the Purchase Date. As used herein, the term “Accelerated Purchase Price” shall mean the
lesser of (i) the lowest Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date or (ii) the lowest
Purchase Price during the previous five (5) Business Days prior to the date that the valid
Accelerated Purchase Notice was received by the Investor. However, if on any Purchase Date the
Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock is below the Accelerated Purchase Threshold Price, such
Accelerated Purchase shall be void and the Investor’s obligations to buy Purchase Shares in respect
of that Accelerated Purchase Notice shall be terminated. Thereafter, the Company shall again have
the right to submit an Accelerated Purchase Notice as set forth herein by delivery of a new
Accelerated Purchase Notice only if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock is at or above the
Accelerated Purchase Threshold Price on the date of the delivery of the Accelerated Purchase
Notice. The Company may deliver a new Accelerated Purchase Notice to the Investor so long as at
least two (2) Business Days have passed since the most recent Purchase Date.

     (c) Payment for Purchase Shares. The Investor shall pay to the Company an amount
equal to the Purchase Amount with respect to such Purchase Shares as full payment for such Purchase
Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds on the same Business Day that the Investor

-3-

 

receives such Purchase Shares if they are received by the Investor before 1:00 p.m. eastern time or
if received by the Investor after 1:00 p.m. eastern time, the next Business Day. The Company shall
not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any purchase. If the issuance would result
in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of
a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share. All payments made under this
Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America or 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.

     (d) Purchase Price Floor. The Company and the Investor shall not effect any sales
and purchases under this Agreement on any Purchase Date where the Purchase Price for any purchases
of Purchase Shares would be less than the Floor Price. “Floor Price” means $0.15, which shall be
appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or
other similar transaction.

     (e) Compliance with Principal Market Rules. The Company shall not be required to
issue any Purchase Shares under this Agreement if such issuance would breach the Company’s
obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market.

(“Liens”) and except for Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not
materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and
Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent
nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company are

made of such property and buildings by the Company.

     (n) Insurance. The Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company
believes to be prudent and customary in the business in which the Company is engaged. The Company
has not been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and the Company has no reason to
believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its
business at a cost that would not materially and adversely affect the condition, financial or
otherwise, or the business or operations of the Company.

     (o) Regulatory Permits. The Company possesses all material certificates,
authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory
authorities necessary to conduct its business, except for any such certificates, authorization or
permits to failure of which to have obtained would not be reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit.

     (p) Tax Status. The Company has made or filed all federal and state income and all
other material tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is
subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) 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 provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods
subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no
unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction,
and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.

     (q) Transactions With Affiliates. Except as set forth in the SEC
Documents, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company,
none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company

or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of
real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer,
director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer,
director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or
partner, in each case in excess of $100,000 other than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees
for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii)
other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the
Company.

     (r) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its board of directors have
taken or will take prior to the Commencement Date all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any
distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the
Certificate of Incorporation or the laws of

-10-

 

the state of its incorporation which is or could become applicable to the Investor as a result
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s
issuance of the Securities and the Investor’s ownership of the Securities.

     (s) Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither it
nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided the Investor or its agents or counsel with
any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information
which is not otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement (as defined herein) or prospectus
supplements thereto. The Company understands and confirms that the Investor will rely on the
foregoing representation in effecting purchases and sales of securities of the Company. All of the
disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Investor regarding the Company, its
business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the disclosure schedules to this
Agreement, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that

transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3 hereof.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE
SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE,
SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO: (1) RULE 144 UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR

-11-

 

(2) AN OPINION OF HOLDER’S COUNSEL, IN A CUSTOMARY FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

     (b) Blue Sky. The Company shall take such action, if any, as is reasonably necessary
in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify (i) the initial sale of the Commitment Shares and
any Purchase Shares to the Investor under this Agreement and (ii) any subsequent resale of the
Commitment Shares and any Purchase Shares by the Investor, in each case, under applicable
securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States in such states as is reasonably
requested by the Investor from time to time, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken
to the Investor.

     (c) Listing/DTC. The Company shall maintain the Common Stock’s authorization for
quotation on the Principal Market. The Company shall not take any action that would be reasonably

Company shall promptly, and in no event later than the following Business Day, provide to the
Investor copies of any notices it receives from the Principal Market regarding the continued
eligibility of the Common Stock for quotation on such market. The Company shall pay all fees and
expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section. The Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its Common Stock can be transferred electronically
via the DTC FAST System.

     (d) Limitation on Short Sales and Hedging Transactions. The Investor agrees that
beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date of termination of this Agreement as
provided in Section 11, the Investor and its agents, representatives and affiliates shall not in
any manner whatsoever enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any (i) “short sale” (as such
term is defined in Section 242.200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock or
(ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Stock.

     (e) Issuance of Commitment Shares. Immediately upon the execution of this Agreement,
the Company shall issue to the Investor as consideration for the Investor entering into this
Agreement 958,333 shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Commitment Shares”) and shall deliver to the
Transfer Agent a letter in the form as set forth as Exhibit E attached hereto with respect
to the issuance of the Initial Commitment Shares. In connection with each purchase of Purchase
Shares hereunder, the Company agrees to issue to the Investor a number of shares of Common Stock
(the “Additional Commitment Shares” and together with the Initial Commitment Shares, the
“Commitment Shares”) equal to the product of (x) 958,333 and (y) the Purchase Amount Fraction. The
“Purchase Amount Fraction” shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the Purchase Amount
purchased by the Investor with respect to such purchase of Purchase Shares and the denominator of
which is Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000). The Additional Commitment Shares shall be equitably
adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar
transaction. The Initial Commitment Shares shall be issued in certificated form and shall bear the
Restrictive Legend. The Investor agrees that the Investor shall not pledge, transfer or sell the
Additional Commitment Shares until the earlier of (a) 600 Business Days (30 Monthly Periods) from
the date hereof or (b) the date on which this Agreement has been terminated, provided, however,
that such restrictions shall not apply: (i) in connection with any transfers to or among affiliates
(as defined in the Exchange Act), or (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred, or any event which,
after notice and/or lapse of time, would become an Event of Default, including any failure by the
Company to timely issue Purchase Shares under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the
Investor may transfer Additional Commitment Shares to a third party in order to settle a sale made
by the Investor where the Investor reasonably expects the Company to deliver additional Purchase
Shares to the Investor under this Agreement so long as the Investor maintains ownership of the
amount of Additional Commitment Shares received up to that point by “replacing” such

-12-

 

Additional Commitment Shares so transferred with new Purchase Shares when the new Purchase
Shares are actually issued by the Company to the Investor.

     (f) Due Diligence. The Investor shall have the right, from time to time as the
Investor may reasonably deem appropriate, to perform reasonable due diligence on the Company during

reasonably cooperate with the Investor in connection with any reasonable request by the Investor
related to the Investor’s due diligence of the Company. Each party hereto agrees not to disclose
any Confidential Information of the other party to any third party and shall not use the
Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with, or in furtherance of, the
transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto acknowledges that the Confidential Information
shall remain the property of the disclosing party and agrees that it shall take all reasonable
measures to protect the secrecy of any Confidential Information disclosed by the other party. The
Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf shall provide the
Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might
constitute material, non-public information which is not otherwise disclosed in the Registration
Statement or prospectus supplements thereto.

     (g) Purchase Records. The Investor 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 Investor and the Company.

     (h) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp or similar taxes that

Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by
the Company of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration (or a combination of
units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction other than in connection with an Exempt
Issuance. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells
any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or
include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price,
exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading
prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of
such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is
subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to
the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement,
including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at

established for such purpose, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any
Securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible
into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that
such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of
such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such
securities, and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved
by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, which acquisitions or strategic
transactions can have a Variable Rate Transaction component, provided that any such issuance shall
only be to a Person (or to the equity holders of a Person) which is, itself or through its
subsidiaries, an operating company or an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the
Company

-13-

 

and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds,
but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the
purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.
“Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities of the Company which would entitle the
holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt,
preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common
Stock.

Delaware shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its
shareholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be governed by the
internal laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of

cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Illinois. Each
party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of Chicago, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or under the other

hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such
court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue
of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and
agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND
AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION
HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

     (b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical
counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party;
provided that a facsimile signature or signature delivered by e-mail in a “.pdf” format data file
shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same
force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature or a signature in
a “.pdf” format data file.

     (e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement supersedes
all other prior oral or written agreements between the Investor, the Company, their affiliates and

obligations under this Agreement.

     (h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit
of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

     (i) Publicity. The Investor shall have the right to approve before issuance any press
release, SEC filing or any other public disclosure made by or on behalf of the Company whatsoever
with respect to, in any manner, the Investor, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall be
entitled, without the prior approval of the Investor, to make any press release or other public
disclosure (including any filings with the SEC) with respect to such transactions as is required by
applicable law and regulations so long as the Company and its counsel consult with the Investor in
connection with any such press release or other public disclosure at least one (1) Business Day
prior to its release. The Investor must be provided with a copy thereof at least one (1) Business

its failure to fully comply with this provision constitutes a material adverse effect on its
ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

     (j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and

broker or finder relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company

     (l) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be
the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party.

     (m) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The Investor’s
remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies
available to the Investor under this Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific
performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy of the Investor contained herein shall be
deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein
shall limit the Investor’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply
with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investor and that the remedy at law for any such
breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or
threatened breach, the Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to
an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without
any bond or other security being required.

     (n) Enforcement Costs. If: (i) this Agreement is placed by the Investor in the hands
of an attorney for enforcement or is enforced by the Investor through any legal proceeding; or (ii)
an attorney is retained to represent the Investor in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership
or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Agreement; or
(iii) an attorney is retained to represent the Investor in any other proceedings whatsoever in
connection with this Agreement, then the Company shall pay to the Investor, as incurred by the
Investor, all reasonable costs and expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection
therewith, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.

     (o) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay in the exercise of any
power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof
or of any other right, power or privilege.

     REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of January 4, 2011, by and between
REGENERX BIOPHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”), and LINCOLN PARK
CAPITAL FUND, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (together with it permitted assigns, the
“Buyer”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective
meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement by and between the parties hereto, dated as of the
date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Purchase Agreement”).

WHEREAS:

     The Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase
Agreement, to sell to the Buyer up to Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000) of the Company’s Common
Stock, and to induce the Buyer to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to
provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the “Securities Act”), and
applicable state securities laws.

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

     1. DEFINITIONS.

          As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

          a. “Investor” means the Buyer, any transferee or assignee thereof to whom a Buyer assigns
its rights under this Agreement and who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement
in accordance with Section 9 and any transferee or assignee thereof to whom a transferee or
assignee assigns its rights under this Agreement and who agrees to become bound by the provisions
of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.

          b. “Person” means any person or entity including but not limited to any corporation, a
limited liability company, an association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an
individual, a governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.

          c. “Register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by
preparing and filing one or more registration statements of the Company in compliance with the
Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing
for offering securities on a continuous basis (“Rule 415”), and the declaration or ordering of
effectiveness of such registration statement(s) by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”).

          d. “Registrable Securities” means the Purchase Shares which have been, or which may from
time to time be, issued or issuable to the Investor upon purchases of the Available Amount under
the Purchase Agreement (without regard to any limitation or restriction on purchases) and the
Additional Commitment Shares issued or issuable to the Investor and any shares of capital stock
issued or issuable with respect to the Purchase Shares, the Additional Commitment Shares or the
Purchase Agreement as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or
similar event or otherwise, without regard to any limitation on purchases under the Purchase
Agreement.

 

 

          e. “Registration Statement” means a registration statement on Form S-1 covering the sale
of the Registrable Securities.

     2. REGISTRATION.

          a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall within twenty (20) Business Days
from the date hereof file with the SEC the Registration Statement covering the sale of the
Registrable Securities. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to
review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing
with the SEC. Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for
inclusion therein. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration
Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for
sales of all of the Registrable Securities at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of
which the Investor may sell all of the Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act (or successor thereto) or (ii) the date on which the Investor shall
have sold all the Registrable Securities and no Available Amount remains under the Purchase
Agreement (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or
supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any 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 light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

          b. Rule 424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities
regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the
Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with
sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. The Investor and its counsel
shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing
with the SEC. The Investor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comment upon such
prospectus within one (1) Business Day from the date the Investor receives the final version of
such prospectus.

          c. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares
available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable
Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new registration statement
(a “New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities as soon as
practicable, but in any event not later than twenty (20) Business Days after the necessity therefor
arises. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or New
Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.

     3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

     With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be
registered pursuant to Section 2(c) including on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall
have the following obligations:

          a. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to any Registration Statement and the prospectus used in
connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any
New Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such
period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable

2

 

Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration
Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth
in such registration statement.

          b. The Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment upon the Registration
Statement or any New Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least two
(2) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which
Investor reasonably objects. The Investor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comment
upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements
thereto within two (2) Business Days from the date the Investor receives the final version
thereof. The Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge any correspondence from the SEC
or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to the Registration
Statement or any New Registration Statement.

          c. Upon request of the Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly
after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement
and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement, a copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and
supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request) and
(iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the
Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by the Investor.

          d. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue
sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii)
prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the
effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be
necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the
Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify
the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do
business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a
general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify
the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United
States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose.

          e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company
shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening of any event or existence of such facts as a
result of which the prospectus included in any 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, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration
Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or
amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request).
The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment has become effective

3

 

(notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by facsimile on the
same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for
amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or related prospectus or related
information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to
a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

          f. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any
stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement, or the suspension of
the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order
or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest
possible moment and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

          g. The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each
securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then
listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of
such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the
Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its
obligation under this Section.

          h. The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable
Securities to be offered pursuant to any Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be
in such denominations or amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such
names as the Investor may request.

          i. The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to
its Common Stock.

          j. If reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) immediately incorporate
in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investor believes
should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities,
including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities
being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the
Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration
Statement.

          k. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable
Securities covered by any Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other
governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities.

          l. Within one (1) Business Day after any registration statement which includes the
Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause
legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities
(with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Thereafter, if requested by
the Buyer at any time, the Company shall require its counsel to deliver to the Buyer a written
confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of such Registration Statement has lapsed at any time
for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the
Registration Statement is current and available to the Buyer for sale of all of the Registrable
Securities.

4

 

          m. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and
facilitate disposition by the Investor of the Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration
Statement.

     4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.

          a. The Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company
reasonably requires from the Investor in connection with any registration statement hereunder. The
Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities
held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall
be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute
such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

          b. The Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the
Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder.

          c. The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening
of any event or existence of facts of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of
3(e), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to
any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of
the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first
sentence of 3(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer
agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock without any restrictive legend in accordance with
the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with
respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt
of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or
the first sentence of 3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

     5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

          All reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage commissions, incurred in connection
with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without
limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

     6. INDEMNIFICATION.

          a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify,
hold harmless and defend the Investor, each Person, if any, who controls the Investor, the members,
the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of the Investor and each
Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”),
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs,
attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”)
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding,
investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental,
administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether
or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of
them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with

5

 

the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any
jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files
any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to
state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or
alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including,
without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the
offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New
Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation by the Company of this Agreement (the
matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company
shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a
Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance
upon and in conformity with information about the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by
such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration
Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if
such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e);
(ii) with respect to any superceded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person
from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the
subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement
or omission of material fact contained in the superceded prospectus was corrected in the revised
prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available
by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly
advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation
and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to
the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered
the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and
shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

          b. In connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the
Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same
extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each
Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”), against any
Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based
upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Investor set forth on
Exhibit B attached hereto and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in
connection with such registration statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is

6

 

effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this
Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net
proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the
Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

          c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section
6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or
proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with
counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the
Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party,
the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in
such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the
indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available
to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The
indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all
times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected
without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably
withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving
by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all
liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for
hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter
for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying
party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this
Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend
such action.

          d. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of
the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are
received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

          e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of
action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying
party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the
law.

7

 

     7. CONTRIBUTION.

          To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law,
the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for
which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law;
provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited
in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable
Securities.

     8. REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND EXCHANGE ACT.

          With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the
Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the
Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, to:

          a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined
in Rule 144;

          b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to
such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable
provisions of Rule 144; and

          c. furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly
upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting and or
disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and (ii) such other
information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant
to Rule 144 without registration.

          d. take such additional action as is requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to
sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all
such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s Transfer
Agent as may be requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with
Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

          The Company agrees that damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and
provisions of this Section 8 and that Investor shall, whether or not it is pursuing any remedies at
law, be entitled to equitable relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunctions, without
having to post any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such terms
or provisions.

     9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Investor. The Investor may not assign its rights under this Agreement
without the written consent of the Company, other than to an affiliate of the Investor controlled
by Jonathan Cope or Josh Scheinfeld, in which case the assignee must agree in writing to be bound
by the terms and conditions of this agreement.

8

 

     10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and the Investor.

     11. MISCELLANEOUS.

          a. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns
or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting
instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable
Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from
the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

          b. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be
given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been
delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile

NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION

an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement,

10

 

once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other party hereto by facsimile transmission

up to Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000) (the “Purchase Shares”), in accordance with the terms of
the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2011, with the Buyer (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the
following shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities

	 	(1)	 	Up to $11.0 million worth of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon purchase
from the Company by the Buyer from time to time (the “Purchase Shares”); and

	 	(2)	 	958,333 shares of Common Stock which shall be issued to the Buyer as a
commitment fee in connection with the purchase of Purchase Shares (the “Additional

     In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Registration

333-_________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) relating to the sale of the Purchase Shares and the Additional Commitment Shares.

     In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised
us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective
under the Securities Act at _____ P.M. on __________, 2011 and we have no knowledge, after
telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness
has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the
SEC, and the Purchase Shares and the Additional Commitment Shares are available for sale under the
Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement and may issued without any restrictive
legend.
