1.1 Issuance of Notes .

The Note shall be in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. In payment for the Note and the related Warrant (defined in Section 1.2), each Investor shall pay to the Company an amount of cash in United States dollars equal to the Principal Amount (the “Purchase Price”).

1.2 Issuance of Warrants . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company shall issue to the Investor that has purchased a Note hereunder, with respect to each such Note, a warrant (the “Warrant”), in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, representing the right to purchase up to that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations or other similar events) calculated as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Number of shares of

Common Stock

issuable upon

exercise of the

Warrant

  

 

  

 


The Warrant shall, unless sooner terminated as provided therein, have a term of five (5) years from the date of issuance. The exercise price for each share of Common Stock covered by the Warrant shall be the Stock Purchase Price (as defined below) (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant).

1.3 Stock Purchase Price . For purposes of this Agreement, “Stock Purchase Price” shall mean $0.05 for the shares issued upon conversion and $0.15 for the Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.

CLOSINGS

2.1 Initial Closing . The initial closing of the purchase and sale of Note and Warrants hereunder (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of Duska Therapeutics, Inc., Two Bala Plaza, Suite 300, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004 on the date of this Agreement, or at such other place and date as is mutually agreeable to the Company and Investor that are identified on Exhibit A as purchasing the Note representing a majority of the aggregate Principal Amounts of all Note to be issued at the Closing.

2.2 Subsequent Closings . Subsequent to the Closing and subject to the foregoing limitation, the Company may issue and sell additional Notes and Warrants to such additional investors as it shall select in its sole and absolute discretion.

Investor has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, and to execute and deliver this Agreement, to purchase the Note, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note or the exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”) hereunder and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

3.2 Authorization . Investor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and this Agreement, when executed and delivered, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Investor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

3.3 Purchase for Own Account . Such Investor represents that it is acquiring the Securities solely for investment for such Investor’s own account not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the distribution, assignment or resale of any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The acquisition by such Investor of any of the Securities shall constitute confirmation of the representation by such Investor that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.

3.4 Disclosure of Information . Such Investor has received or had public access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities, including but not limited to all information concerning the Company made publicly available with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

3.5 Investment Experience . Such Investor represents that it is an investor in securities of companies in private placement transactions of securities of companies in a similar stage of development or financial crisis and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. If other than an individual, such Investor also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities. Such Investor acknowledges that any investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.

3.6 Accredited Investor . Such Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

3.7 Restrictions on Transfer . Such Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under


such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Investor represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, promulgated under the Act (“SEC Rule 144”) as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act. In particular, such Investor is aware that the Securities may not be sold pursuant to SEC Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of that rule are met. Among the conditions for use of SEC Rule 144 may be the availability of current information to the public about the Company. Such Investor has no immediate need for liquidity in connection with this investment and does not anticipate that it will need to sell his, her or its Securities in the foreseeable future.

3.8 Further Limitations on Disposition . Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by this Section 3, and:

(a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

(b) (i) such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act.

3.9 Reliance Upon Investor’s Representations . Investor understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Act on the grounds that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of Securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Investor’s representations set forth herein. Investor realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the Investor has in mind merely acquiring shares of the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. Investor has no such intention.

3.10 Legends .

It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:

(a) “THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS (THE “STATE LAWS”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION THEREUNDER.”


(b) Any legend required by the Bylaws of the Company or applicable state securities laws.

3.11 Brokerage . There will be no brokerage commissions or finder’s fees or similar compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on any arrangement or agreement made by or on behalf of Investor. Following each Closing, as applicable, Investor will timely file all documents required to be filed by it with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in connection with the purchase of the Securities.
