Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 29, 2014, Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into subscription agreements with certain institutional investors (the “Subscription Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell a total of 4,048,584 units, with each unit consisting of one share of its common stock (the “Shares”) and one warrant to purchase one share of its common stock (the “Warrants”) at a purchase price of $2.47 per unit, in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). Each Warrant will have an exercise price of $3.00 per share, will be exercisable immediately after issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The Shares and the Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately.

WBB Securities, LLC (“WBB”) acted as the Company’s placement agent for the Offering pursuant to a letter agreement entered into with the Company on May 29, 2014 (the “Placement Agent Agreement”). Under the Placement Agent Agreement, the Company agreed to pay WBB an aggregate fee equal to 4% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and to issue to WBB warrants to purchase 202,429 shares of common stock. The placement agent warrants will have substantially the same terms as the Warrants issued to the purchasers in the Offering, except that such warrants will have an exercise price of $3.09 and will otherwise comply with the requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. The Placement Agent Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and indemnification by the Company.

The Company expects to complete the Offering on or about June 4, 2014, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and expects to raise approximately $9.5 million, net of the placement agency fee and other estimated offering expenses, from the sale of the units. The Company may raise up to an additional $12.1 million in connection with Warrant exercises from time to time during the period the Warrants are exercisable.

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-195846), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2014. The Company, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement relating to the Offering. The legal opinion, including the related consent, of DLA Piper LLP (US) is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report.

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, until the 12 month anniversary of the closing date of the Offering, upon any financing by the Company of common stock or securities convertible into common stock, each investor will have the right to participate in such financing up to an amount of such financing aggregating up to 50% of the financing for all investors, subject to certain exceptions. The Subscription Agreements also contains customary representations and warranties by the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, the number of warrant shares that may be acquired by any holder upon any exercise of the Warrants will be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of common stock would be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act does not exceed 4.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock (including for such purpose the shares of common stock issuable upon such exercise). The holder may elect to increase this beneficial ownership limitation to any other percentage, but not in excess of 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock (including for such purpose the shares of common stock issuable upon such exercise), provided that any such increase will not be effective until 61 days after such written notice is delivered. If, at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering the issuance to the holder of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrant, the holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the Warrant on a cashless basis. When exercised on a cashless basis, a portion of the Warrant is cancelled in payment of the purchase price payable in respect of the number of shares of our common stock purchasable upon such exercise.

The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Subscription Agreements, the Warrants, the placement agent warrant, and the Placement Agent Agreement and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Subscription Agreement, the form of Warrant, the form of placement agent warrant, and the Placement Agent Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1, 4.2 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, on May 30, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the Offering. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. This Current Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, such as statements related to the anticipated closing of the Offering and the amount of net proceeds expected from the Offering. The risks and uncertainties involved include the Company’s ability to satisfy certain conditions to closing on a timely basis or at all, as well as other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

CYTORI THERAPEUTICS, INC.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

Warrant No.             

   Original Issue Date: June 4, 2014

Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received,              or its permitted registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of              shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $3.00 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided herein, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time after the date hereof (the “Original Exercisability Date”) and through and including 5:30 p.m., New York City time on June 4, 2019 (the “Expiration Date”), and subject to the following terms and conditions:

This Warrant is being issued pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated May 29, 2014, by and between the Company and the purchaser identified therein (the “Purchase Agreement”). The original issuance of this Warrant by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement has been registered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-195846) (the “Registration Statement”).

1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

2. List of Warrant Holders. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder from time to time). The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

3. List of Transfers; Restrictions on Transfer. Subject to applicable laws and Holder’s compliance with any restriction on transfer set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached as Attachment 2 hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”) evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant. Any purported transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in violation of the provisions of this Warrant shall be null and void.

4. Exercise and Duration of Warrant.

(a) All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by Section 10 of this Warrant at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Exercisability Date and through and including 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. At 5:31 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value and this Warrant shall be terminated and no longer outstanding.

(b) The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Attachment 1 hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) (A) payment of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) or (B) provided the conditions for cashless exercise set forth in Section 10 hereof are satisfied, by indicating in the Exercise Notice delivered to the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 10 hereof). The date an Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, but if it is not so delivered then such exercise shall constitute an agreement by the Holder to deliver the original Warrant to the Company as soon as practicable thereafter. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.


(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days (as defined in Section 10 hereof) after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, (i) a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends or (ii) an electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise to an account of the Holder or its designee (as specified in the Exercise Notice) at the Depository Trust Company (the “DTC”) or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, provided that the payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in any manner permitted by Section 10 has been received by the Company. The Holder, or any person or entity permissibly so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the DTC or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available; provided that the Company may, but will not be required to, change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through such a clearing corporation. If as of the time of exercise the Warrant Shares constitute restricted or control securities, the Holder, by exercising, agrees not to resell them except in compliance with all applicable securities laws.

(b) If by the close of the third Trading Day after delivery of an Exercise Notice and receipt of the payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in any manner permitted by Section 10 of this Warrant, the Company fails to deliver to the Holder the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s sole discretion, either (i) pay in cash to the Holder an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver such Warrant Shares) shall terminate or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to issue and deliver to the Holder such Warrant Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Warrant Shares, times (B) the Closing Sale Price (as defined in Section 10 hereof) of a share of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets) on the Exercise Date.

(c) To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or entity or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person or entity of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person or entity, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by 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 registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and, in each such case, a customary and reasonable indemnity and surety bond, if requested by the Company. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.


(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock for no consideration (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset including cash (in each case, “ Distributed Property”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date.

(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects (A) any merger of the Company with (but not into) another entity, in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than a majority of the outstanding stock of the surviving entity, or (B) any merger or consolidation of the Company into another entity, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer approved or authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors is completed pursuant to which holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Stock tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) hereof), (v) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person (as defined below) whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), or (vi) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by issued and outstanding Common Stock. (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the “Alternate Consideration”), and the Holder shall no longer have the right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not effect any such Fundamental Transaction unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (c) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions of a Fundamental Transaction type. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in which a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose stock is quoted or listed for trading on an Eligible Market assumes this Warrant such that the Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded Common Stock of such Successor Entity, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 20th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the successor entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five Business Days (as defined below) after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes hereof, “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and reflecting (i) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of such date of request and (ii) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 50% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg. As used herein, (x) “Successor Entity” means the Person (or, if so elected by the Holder, the Parent Entity) formed by, resulting from or surviving any Fundamental Transaction or the Person (or, if so elected by the Holder, the Parent Entity) with which such Fundamental Transaction shall have been entered into, (y) “Eligible Market” means The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NYSE MKT, The NASDAQ Global Market, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Capital Market, (z) “Parent Entity” of a Person means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls the applicable Person and whose common stock or equivalent equity security is quoted or listed on an Eligible Market, or, if there is more than one such Person or Parent Entity, the Person or Parent Entity with the largest public market capitalization as of the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, (aa) “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof, and (bb) “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day


on which commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

(d) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 9, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will, at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

(g) Notice of Corporate Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, except if such notice and the contents thereof shall be deemed to constitute material non-public information, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction at least 10 Trading Days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all reasonable steps to give Holder the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time; provided, however , that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Aggregate Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

(a) Cash Exercise. If an Exercise Notice is delivered at a time when the Registration Statement is effective, then the Holder shall deliver the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds; or

(b) Cashless Exercise. If an Exercise Notice is delivered at a time when the Registration Statement is not then effective, then the Holder shall notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to utilize cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

where:

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

Y = the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (which shall include both the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder and the number of Warrant Shares subject to the portion of the Warrant to be cancelled in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price).

A = the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice (the “Fair Market Value”).

B = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

For purposes of this Warrant, “Closing Sale Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last trade price for such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if such exchange or trading market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the last trade price, then the last trade price of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last trade price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or, if no last trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices,


respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC. If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile the disputed determination of the fair market value of such security to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder. The Company shall cause, at its expense, the investment bank, to perform the determinations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations. Such investment bank’s determination shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

For purposes of this Warrant, “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the principal securities exchange or trading market on which the Common Stock is then traded; provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00 p.m., New York time).

(c) Company-Elected Conversion.

(i) The Company shall provide to the Holder prompt written notice of any time that the Company is unable to issue the Warrant Shares via DTC transfer (or otherwise without restrictive legend), because (A) the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) has issued a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement, (B) the Commission otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, (C) the Company has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or (D) otherwise (each a “Restrictive Legend Event”). To the extent that a Restrictive Legend Event occurs after the Holder has exercised this Warrant in accordance with Section 4 hereof but prior to the delivery of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall (x) if the Fair Market Value (as calculated above) of the Warrant Shares is greater than the Exercise Price, provide written notice to the Holder that the Company will deliver that number of Warrant Shares to the Holder as should be delivered in a Cashless Exercise in accordance with this Section 10, and return to the Holder all consideration paid to the Company in connection with the Holder’s attempted exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 4 hereof (a “Company-Elected Conversion”), or (y) at the election of the Holder to be given within five (5) days of receipt of notice of a Company-Elected Conversion, the Holder shall be entitled to rescind the previously submitted Exercise Notice and the Company shall return all consideration paid by Holder for such shares upon such rescission.

(ii) If a Restrictive Legend Event has occurred and no exemption from the registration requirements is available (including, without limitation, under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of a Cashless Exercise), this Warrant shall not be exercisable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to make any cash payments to the Holder in lieu of issuance of the Warrant Shares. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Holder of any cessation of a Restrictive Legend Event (the “Re-Effectiveness Notice”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Expiration Date of this Warrant shall be extended for a period of five (5) days following receipt by the Holder of the Re-Effectiveness Notice.

11. Limitations on Exercise.

(a) The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other or Common Stock equivalent equity security) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 11, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 11 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.


(b) A determination as to any group status as contemplated in subsection (a) of this Section 11 shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 11, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 11, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 11 shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 11 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the Company shall pay the Holder cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Closing Sale Price of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section at or prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next business day delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given if by hand delivery. The addresses for such notices or communications shall be: if to the Company, to Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., 3020 Callan Road, San Diego, California 92121, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, (Facsimile No.: 858-450-4335) (or such other address as the Company shall indicate in writing in accordance with this Section) or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register (or such other address as the Holder shall indicate in writing in accordance with this Section).

14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

15. Miscellaneous.

(a) No Rights as a Stockholder. The Holder, solely in such person’s or entity’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such person’s or entity’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(b) Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Warrant and compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company without written consent of the Holder except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any person or entity other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.


(c) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of this Warrant and the transactions herein contemplated (“Proceedings”) (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in state or federal courts sitting in the city of New York, borough of Manhattan. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant 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 hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.

(d) Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended, and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.

(e) Acceptance. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

The headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

(g) Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

CYTORI THERAPEUTICS, INC.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

Warrant No.             

   Original Issue Date: June 4, 2014

Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, WBB Securities, LLC or its permitted registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of 202,429 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $3.09 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided herein, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time after the date hereof (the “Original Exercisability Date”) and through and including 5:30 p.m., New York City time on May 22, 2019 (the “Expiration Date”), and subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Placement Agency Agreement, dated May 29, 2014, by and between the Company and the Holder.

2. List of Warrant Holders. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder from time to time). The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

3. List of Transfers; Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) For a period of six months after the issuance date of this Warrant (which shall not be earlier than the closing date of the offering pursuant to which this Warrant is being issued), neither this Warrant nor any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of the offering pursuant to which this Warrant is being issued, except the transfer of any security:

(i) by operation of law or by reason of reorganization of the Company;

(ii) to any FINRA member firm participating in the offering and the officers or partners thereof, if all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction in this Section 3 for the remainder of the time period;

(iii) if the aggregate amount of securities of the Company held by the Holder or related person do not exceed 1% of the securities being offered;

(iv) that is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners of an investment fund, provided that no participating member manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund, and participating members in the aggregate do not own more than 10% of the equity in the fund; or

(v) in connection with the exercise or conversion of any security, if all securities received remain subject to the lock-up restriction in this Section 3 for the remainder of the time period.

(b) Subject to applicable laws and Holder’s compliance with any restriction on transfer set forth in this Section 3, the Company shall register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached as Attachment 2 hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”) evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant. Any purported transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in violation of the provisions of this Warrant shall be null and void.


4. Exercise and Duration of Warrant.

(a) All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by Section 10 of this Warrant at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Exercisability Date and through and including 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. At 5:31 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value and this Warrant shall be terminated and no longer outstanding.

(b) The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Attachment 1 hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) (A) payment of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) or (B) provided the conditions for cashless exercise set forth in Section 10 hereof are satisfied, by indicating in the Exercise Notice delivered to the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 10 hereof). The date an Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, but if it is not so delivered then such exercise shall constitute an agreement by the Holder to deliver the original Warrant to the Company as soon as practicable thereafter. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.

(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days (as defined in Section 10 hereof) after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, (i) a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends or (ii) an electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise to an account of the Holder or its designee (as specified in the Exercise Notice) at the Depository Trust Company (the “DTC”) or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, provided that the payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in any manner permitted by Section 10 has been received by the Company. The Holder, or any person or entity permissibly so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the DTC or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available; provided that the Company may, but will not be required to, change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through such a clearing corporation. If as of the time of exercise the Warrant Shares constitute restricted or control securities, the Holder, by exercising, agrees not to resell them except in compliance with all applicable securities laws.

(b) If by the close of the third Trading Day after delivery of an Exercise Notice and receipt of the payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in any manner permitted by Section 10 of this Warrant, the Company fails to deliver to the Holder the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s sole discretion, either (i) pay in cash to the Holder an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver such Warrant Shares) shall terminate or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to issue and deliver to the Holder such Warrant Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Warrant Shares, times (B) the Closing Sale Price (as defined in Section 10 hereof) of a share of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets) on the Exercise Date.

(c) To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or entity or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person or entity of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person or entity, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by 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 registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be


issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and, in each such case, a customary and reasonable indemnity and surety bond, if requested by the Company. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock for no consideration (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset including cash (in each case, “ Distributed Property ”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date.

(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects (A) any merger of the Company with (but not into) another entity, in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than a majority of the outstanding stock of the surviving entity, or (B) any merger or consolidation of the Company into another entity, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer approved or authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors is completed pursuant to which holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Stock tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) hereof), (v) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person (as defined below) whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), or (vi) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by issued and outstanding Common Stock. (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the “Alternate Consideration”), and the Holder shall no longer have the right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not effect any such Fundamental Transaction unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (c) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions of a Fundamental Transaction type. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in which a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose stock is quoted or listed for trading on an Eligible Market assumes this Warrant such that the Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded Common Stock of such Successor Entity, at the request of the Holder delivered before the


20th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the successor entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five Business Days (as defined below) after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes hereof, “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and reflecting (i) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of such date of request and (ii) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 50% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg. As used herein, (x) “Successor Entity” means the Person (or, if so elected by the Holder, the Parent Entity) formed by, resulting from or surviving any Fundamental Transaction or the Person (or, if so elected by the Holder, the Parent Entity) with which such Fundamental Transaction shall have been entered into, (y) “Eligible Market” means The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NYSE MKT, The NASDAQ Global Market, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Capital Market, (z) “Parent Entity” of a Person means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls the applicable Person and whose common stock or equivalent equity security is quoted or listed on an Eligible Market, or, if there is more than one such Person or Parent Entity, the Person or Parent Entity with the largest public market capitalization as of the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, (aa) “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof, and (bb) “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

(d) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 9, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will, at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

(g) Notice of Corporate Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, except if such notice and the contents thereof shall be deemed to constitute material non-public information, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction at least 10 Trading Days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all reasonable steps to give Holder the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time; provided, however , that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Aggregate Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

(a) Cash Exercise. If an Exercise Notice is delivered at a time when the Registration Statement is effective, then the Holder shall deliver the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds; or

(b) Cashless Exercise. If an Exercise Notice is delivered at a time when the Registration Statement is not then effective, then the Holder shall notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to utilize cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

 

   X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:   
   X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
   Y = the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (which shall include


   both the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder and the number of Warrant Shares subject to the portion of the Warrant to be cancelled in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price).
   A = the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice (the “Fair Market Value”).
   B = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

For purposes of this Warrant, “Closing Sale Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last trade price for such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if such exchange or trading market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the last trade price, then the last trade price of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last trade price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or, if no last trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC. If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile the disputed determination of the fair market value of such security to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder. The Company shall cause, at its expense, the investment bank, to perform the determinations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations. Such investment bank’s determination shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

For purposes of this Warrant, “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the principal securities exchange or trading market on which the Common Stock is then traded; provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00 p.m., New York time).

(c) Company-Elected Conversion.

(i) The Company shall provide to the Holder prompt written notice of any time that the Company is unable to issue the Warrant Shares via DTC transfer (or otherwise without restrictive legend), because (A) the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) has issued a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement, (B) the Commission otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, (C) the Company has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or (D) otherwise (each a “Restrictive Legend Event”). To the extent that a Restrictive Legend Event occurs after the Holder has exercised this Warrant in accordance with Section 4 hereof but prior to the delivery of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall (x) if the Fair Market Value (as calculated above) of the Warrant Shares is greater than the Exercise Price, provide written notice to the Holder that the Company will deliver that number of Warrant Shares to the Holder as should be delivered in a Cashless Exercise in accordance with this Section 10, and return to the Holder all consideration paid to the Company in connection with the Holder’s attempted exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 4 hereof (a “Company-Elected Conversion”), or (y) at the election of the Holder to be given within five (5) days of receipt of notice of a Company-Elected Conversion, the Holder shall be entitled to rescind the previously submitted Exercise Notice and the Company shall return all consideration paid by Holder for such shares upon such rescission.

(ii) If a Restrictive Legend Event has occurred and no exemption from the registration requirements is available (including, without limitation, under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of a Cashless Exercise), this Warrant shall not be exercisable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to make any cash payments to the Holder in lieu of issuance of the Warrant Shares. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Holder of any cessation of a Restrictive Legend Event (the “Re-Effectiveness Notice”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Expiration Date of this Warrant shall be extended for a period of five (5) days following receipt by the Holder of the Re-Effectiveness Notice.

11. Limitations on Exercise.

(a) The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the


remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other or Common Stock equivalent equity security) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 11, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 11 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

(b) A determination as to any group status as contemplated in subsection (a) of this Section 11 shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 11, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 11, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 11 shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 11 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the Company shall pay the Holder cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Closing Sale Price of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section at or prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next business day delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given if by hand delivery. The addresses for such notices or communications shall be: if to the Company, to Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., 3020 Callan Road, San Diego, California 92121, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, (Facsimile No.: 858-450-4335) (or such other address as the Company shall indicate in writing in accordance with this Section) or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register (or such other address as the Holder shall indicate in writing in accordance with this Section).

14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

15. Miscellaneous.

(a) No Rights as a Stockholder. The Holder, solely in such person’s or entity’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such person’s or entity’s capacity as the Holder of


this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(b) Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Warrant and compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company without written consent of the Holder except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any person or entity other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.

(c) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of this Warrant and the transactions herein contemplated (“Proceedings”) (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in state or federal courts sitting in the city of New York, borough of Manhattan. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant 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 hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.

(d) Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended, and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.

(e) Acceptance. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

The headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

(g) Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

San Diego, CA 92121

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale and issuance by Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of up to an aggregate of 4,048,584 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), together with warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an additional 4,048,584 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-195846) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the related prospectus included therein (the “Prospectus”) and the prospectus supplement to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Act (the “Prospectus Supplement”).

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, the Warrants, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, as currently in effect, and the originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such other documents, records, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents; the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents where due authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents (other than with respect to the Company). With regard to the Warrant Shares, we have assumed that at the time of issuance or sale, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock are authorized and available for issuance.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that (i) the Shares have been duly and validly authorized and, when issued and sold pursuant to subscription agreements by and between the Company and the investor, named therein, dated May 29, 2014, and in accordance with the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) provided that the Warrants have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and duly delivered to the purchasers thereof against payment therefor, then the Warrants, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, and (iii) the Warrant Shares, when issued and sold against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We consent to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a Current Report of the Company on Form 8-K. In giving our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Exhibit 10.1

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Cytori Therapeutics, Inc.

3020 Callan Road

San Diego, California 92121

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned (the “Investor”) hereby confirms and agrees with you as follows:

1.  This Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the date set forth below between Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Investor.

2.  The Company has authorized the sale and issuance of (i) up to 4,048,584 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 4,048,584 shares of Common Stock in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and together with the Shares and the Warrants, the “Securities”). The purchase price for the Securities shall be $2.47 per unit (the “Purchase Price”), with each unit consisting of one (1) Share and one (1) Warrant (the “Offering”). The Offering and issuance of the Securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-195846), including all amendments thereto, the exhibits and any schedules thereto, the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and any registration statement relating to the Offering and filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Rules and Regulations (collectively, the “Registration Statement”). The Investor acknowledges that the Company intends to enter into subscription agreements in substantially the same form as this Agreement with certain other investors.

3.  As of the Closing (as defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company and the Investor agree that the Investor will purchase from the Company and the Company will issue and sell to the Investor such number of Shares and Warrants (the “Subscription”) as is set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Signature Page”). The Investor acknowledges that the Offering is not a firm commitment underwriting and that there is no minimum offering amount. Certificates representing the Shares purchased by the Investor will not be issued to the Investor; instead, such Shares will be credited to the Investor using customary procedures for book-entry transfer through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The Warrants will be issued by the Company, and delivered to the Investor, in physical form. This Offering will not clear directly through the Placement Agent (as defined below) acting in such capacity. Consequently, the Investor must instruct their individual broker how to settle the transaction.

4.  The completion of the purchase and sale of the Securities shall occur at a closing (the “Closing”) which, in accordance with Rule 15c6-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shall occur no later than the third (3rd) Trading Day (as defined below) following the date set forth on the Signature Page (the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, (a) the Company shall cause its transfer agent to release to the Investor the number of Shares being purchased by the Investor, (b) the Company shall deliver to the Investor the Warrants being purchased by the Investor and (c) the aggregate purchase price for the Securities being purchased by the Investor (the “Subscription Amount”) will be delivered by or on behalf of the Investor to the Company in cash by wire transfer. In the event that the Company is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder at Closing by the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date set forth on the Signature Page, Investor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement and the Subscription hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the principal securities exchange or trading market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Exchange”); provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final


hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00 p.m., New York time).

5.  The Registration Statement filed by the Company with the Commission contains a prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”) and the Company will promptly file with the Commission a final prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement” and collectively with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”) with respect to the Registration Statement in material conformity with the Securities Act, including Rule 424(b) thereunder. The Investor hereby consents to the receipt of the Company’s Prospectus in portable document format, or .pdf, via e-mail.

6.  The Company has entered into a Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agreement”), dated May 29, 2014 with WBB Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), which will act as the Company’s placement agent with respect to the Offering and receive a fee in connection with the sale of the Securities. The obligations of the Company to issue and sell the Securities to the Investor shall be subject to: (i) the receipt by the Company of the purchase price for the Shares and Warrants being purchased hereunder as set forth on the Signature Page and (ii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Investor and the fulfillment of those undertakings of the Investor to be fulfilled prior to the Closing Date.

7.  The Company hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants to the Investor:

(a) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

(b) The Securities are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with this Agreement or the Warrant, as applicable (the “Transaction Documents”), will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens imposed by the Company. The Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens imposed by the Company. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrants. The Company has prepared and filed the Registration Statement in material conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, which became effective on May 22, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), and such amendments and supplements thereto as may have been required to the date of this Agreement. The Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act and no stop order preventing or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or suspending or preventing the use of the Prospectus has been issued by the Commission and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company, are threatened by the Commission. The Company, if required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, shall file the Prospectus Supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). At the time the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto became effective, at the date of this Agreement and at the Closing Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto conformed and will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, at time the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto was issued and at the Closing Date, conformed and will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.


(c) The Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of any securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise representing the right to acquire shares of Common Stock (each, a “Common Stock Equivalent”) outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed SEC Report (as defined below). No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as otherwise disclosed in the SEC Reports (as defined below) or as a result of the purchase and sale of the Securities, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries (each a “Subsidiary”) is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any person (other than to investors and the placement agent in this Offering) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in material compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder or the Board of Directors is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities. Except as otherwise disclosed in the SEC Reports, there are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

(d) Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within any report or definitive proxy or information statements filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, 15(d) or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act (the “SEC Reports”), except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed prior to the date hereof, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect, or any development that would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of operations, business, operations or prospects, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, of the Company and its Subsidiaries, considered as one entity (any such effect is called a “Material Adverse Effect”), (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock option plans. The Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment of information. Except for the issuance of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement or as set forth in the SEC Reports, no event, liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, prospects, properties, operations, assets or financial condition that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least 1 Trading Day prior to the date that this representation is made.


(e) The Company shall (i) before the opening of trading on the Exchange on the next trading day after the date hereof, issue a press release, disclosing all material aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Upon the issuance of the press release described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Investor will not be in receipt of any material, non-public information provided to it by the Company, its officers or directors. The Company shall not identify the Investor by name in any press release or public filing, or otherwise publicly disclose the Investor’s name, without the Investor’s prior written consent, unless required by law or the rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization or exchange to which the Company or its securities are subject.

(f) The making, execution and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, (i) the charter, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company, as applicable, (ii) any law, order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court, administrative agency, regulatory body, government or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or its properties (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Global Market or other applicable Exchange) or (iii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, except for any conflict, breach, violation or default which is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company, its Subsidiaries or any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Company’s performance of its obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g) Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any other person acting on its behalf, has provided any of the investors in this Offering or their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information which is not otherwise disclosed or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus Supplement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no investor in this Offering makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 8 hereof.

(h) The Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof, other than (i) as may be required under the Securities Act, (ii) any necessary qualification of the Securities under the securities or blue sky laws of the various jurisdictions in which the Securities are being offered by the Placement Agent and (iii) under the rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence will be obtained or effected on or prior to the Closing, and the Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might prevent the Company from obtaining or effecting any of the registration, application or filings pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Company is not in violation of the requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market or other applicable Exchange and has no knowledge of any facts which would reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

(i) The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company, other than, in


the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid to the Company’s placement agent in connection with the placement of the Securities.

(j) If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares or if the Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends. If at any time following the date hereof the Registration Statement (or any subsequent registration statement registering the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares) is not effective or is not otherwise available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall immediately notify the holders of the Warrants in writing that such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when the registration statement is effective again and available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Company to issue, or any Investor to sell, any of the Warrant Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) registering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares effective during the term of the Warrants.

(k) From the date hereof until 90 days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, except for any Excluded Issuance (as defined below); provided, however, that the Company will not issue any Common Stock under the Sales Agreement (as defined below) unless sales are made at price per share equal to or greater than 125% of the Purchase Price; provided, further, that as soon as the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Exchange exceeds 125% of the Purchase Price after the date hereof, the Company may issue Common Stock under the Sales Agreement so long as sales are made at a price per share equal to or greater than 110% of the Purchase Price. From the date hereof and until the first anniversary of the date hereof, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction, except for any Excluded Issuance (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, “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 issue securities at a future determined price. Any Investor shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

(l) Participation in Subsequent Financings.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Section 7(l) and applicable securities laws, if at any time during the period beginning on the Closing and ending twelve (12) months thereafter, upon any financing by the Company of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock (“New Securities”) in on or more related transactions (a “Subsequent Financing”), each investor in this Offering shall have the right to participate in any Subsequent Financing in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing aggregating up to 50% of the Subsequent Financing for all investors in this Offering (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing other than in connection with an Excluded Issuance. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Excluded Issuance” means any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued in connection with or pursuant to (i) a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity, (ii)


strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not primarily for the purpose of raising capital, (iii) plans that have been approved by a majority of the stockholders and a majority of the independent members of the board of directors of the Company or in existence as such plans are constituted on the date of this Agreement, (iv) the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, (v) the exercise of Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement, (vi) sales under that certain Sales Agreement, dated May 12, 2014, by and between the Company and Cowen and Company LLC (the “Sales Agreement”), and (vii) any and all securities required to be assumed by the Company by the terms thereof as a result of any of the foregoing even if issued by a predecessor acquired in connection with a business combination, merger or share exchange.

(ii) At least five (5) Trading Days prior to the closing of any Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to the Investor a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Investor if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request of the Investor, and only upon a request by such Investor, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Investor. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected.

(iii) Any Investor desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Investor has received the Pre-Notice that such Investor is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Investor’s participation, and representing and warranting that such Investor has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from the Investor as of such fifth (5th) Trading Day, such Investor shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.

(iv) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the investors in this Offering have received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the such investors of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Participation Maximum, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.

(v) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the investors in this Offering have received the Pre-Notice, the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from such investors seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such investor shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum. For purposes of this Agreement, “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by an investor participating in this Offering and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by all investors participating in this Offering.

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7(l) shall not apply in respect of an Excluded Issuance.

(m) Until the earliest of the time that (i) no Warrants are outstanding or (ii) the Warrants have expired, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.


8.  The Investor hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants to the Company:

(a) The Investor represents that (i) it has received or had full access to the Base Prospectus as well as the Company’s periodic reports and other information incorporated by reference therein, prior to or in connection with its receipt of this Agreement, (ii) it is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make, decisions with respect to investments in securities representing an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Securities, and (iii) it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person or entity to distribute any of the Securities.

(b) The Investor has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Investor and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Investor. This Agreement has been executed by the Investor and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Securities.

(d) The making, execution and performance of this Agreement by the Investor and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, (i) the charter, bylaws or other organizational documents of such Investor, as applicable, or (ii) any law, order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court, administrative agency, regulatory body, government or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over such Investor or its properties, except for any conflict, breach, violation or default which is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on such Investor’s performance of its obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) The Investor will maintain the confidentiality of all information acquired as a result of the transactions contemplated herein prior to the public disclosure of that information by the Company.

(f) Neither the Investor nor any Person acting on behalf of, or pursuant to any understanding with or based upon any information received from, the Investor has, directly or indirectly, engaged in any purchases or sales of the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) since the time that the Investor first discussed the transactions contemplated hereby with the Placement Agent or the Company. “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not against the box, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. The Investor covenants that neither it, nor any Person acting on behalf of, or pursuant to any understanding with or based upon any information received from, the Investor will engage in any purchases or sales of the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed or the transactions contemplated hereby are terminated.


(g) The Investor covenants that neither it nor any affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 7(e). The Investor covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 7(e), the Investor will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

(h) The Investor represents that, except as set forth below, (i) it has had no position, office or other material relationship within the past three years with the Company or persons known to it to be affiliates of the Company, (ii) it is not a, and it has no direct or indirect association with any, FINRA member or an Associated Person (as such term is defined under the FINRA Membership and Registration Rules Section 1011) as of the date hereof, and (iii) neither it nor any group of investors (as identified in a public filing made with the Commission) of which it is a member, acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, 20% or more of the Common Stock (or securities convertible or exercisable for Common Stock) or the voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis.     Exceptions:

 

 

  
(If no exceptions, write “none.” If left blank, response will be deemed to be “none.”)   

(i) The Investor acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of representatives of the Company and to receive answers form such representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the Warrants and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares and the Warrants; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent nor any affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided the investor with any information or advice with respect to the Shares and Warrants nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the Placement Agent nor any affiliate has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Shares and Warrants. The Investor acknowledges that the Placement Agent and its affiliates may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company which the Investor agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with the issuance of the Shares and Warrants, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to the Investor.

9.  Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and the Investor herein will survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Investor of the Securities being purchased and the payment therefor.

10.  This Agreement may not be modified or amended except pursuant to an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Investor.

11.  The headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be part of this Agreement.

13.  This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

15.  The Investor acknowledges and agrees that such Investor’s receipt of the Company’s counterpart to this Agreement shall constitute written confirmation of the Company’s sale of Securities to such Investor.

16.  In the event that before the Closing the Placement Agreement is terminated by the Placement Agent pursuant to the terms thereof, this Agreement shall terminate without any further action on the part of the parties hereto.

17.  The Investor and the Company acknowledge that the Placement Agent is relying on their respective representations, warranties and covenants made herein as if made directly to the Placement Agent.

San Diego, CA 92121

Attn: Mark E. Saad, Chief Financial Officer

Gentlemen:

The purpose of this letter (the “Agreement”) is to set forth the terms of the engagement by Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) of WBB Securities, LLC (“WBB”) to serve as the Company’s non-exclusive placement agent, on a reasonable best efforts basis, in connection with the proposed placement of registered securities (the “Securities”) of the Company, including shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Placement”), on terms specified herein. The terms of such Placement and the Securities shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the purchasers (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) and nothing herein constitutes that WBB would have the power or authority to bind the Company or any Purchaser or an obligation for the Company to issue any Securities or complete the Placement. This Agreement and the documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Purchasers in connection with the Placement shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The date of the closing of the Placement shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a commitment by WBB to purchase the Securities and does not ensure the successful placement of the Securities or any portion thereof or the success of WBB with respect to securing any other financing on behalf of the Company.

 

1) Term of Engagement.

The term of WBB’s engagement shall be for the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing for 20 days of the date of this Agreement (the “Term”), and may be extended beyond the Initial Term by mutual written consent of the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon ten (10) days written notice to the other party, in which event neither party will have any further obligations hereunder, except for any unpaid amounts due and payable under Section 2 below, which shall survive any such termination.


2) Compensation.

As compensation for the services provided by WBB hereunder, the Company agrees to pay to WBB the fees set forth below with respect to the Placement:

 

  (a) A cash fee payable immediately and contingent upon the Closing Date of the Placement equal to 4% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Placement.

 

  (b) Such number of warrants (the “WBB Warrants”) to WBB or its designees on the Closing Date to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants sold in the Placement. The WBB Warrants shall have the same terms as the warrants (if any) issued to the Purchasers in the Placement except that the exercise price shall be 125% of the public offering price per share and the expiration date shall be five years from the effective date of the shelf registration statement referred to in Section 3(a) below. The WBB Warrants shall not have antidilution protections or be transferable for six months from the date of the Placement except as permitted by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Rule 5110, and further, the number of Shares underlying the WBB Warrants shall be reduced if necessary to comply with FINRA rules or regulations.

 

  (c) Reimbursement of attorney’s fees incurred by WBB up to a maximum of $10,000. Such reimbursement of attorney’s fees shall be payable at closing against invoice from such attorney.

 

3) Registration Statement.

The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, WBB that:

 

  (a)

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration File No. 333-195846) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which became effective on May 22, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), for the registration under the Securities Act of the Securities. At the time of such filing, the Company met the requirements of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. Such registration statement meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act and complies in all material respects with said Rule. The Company will file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Commission promulgated thereunder, a supplement to the form of prospectus included in such registration statement relating to the placement of the Securities and the plan of distribution thereof and has advised WBB of all further information (financial and other) with respect to the Company required to be set forth therein. Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended at the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement”; such prospectus in the form in which it appears in the Registration Statement is hereinafter called the “Base Prospectus”; and the supplemented form of prospectus, in the form in which it will be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule


  424(b) (including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter called the “Prospectus Supplement.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”) pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or before the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be; and any reference in this Agreement to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information that is “contained,” “included,” “described,” “referenced,” “set forth” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information that is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement has been issued, and no proceeding for any such purpose is pending or has been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened by the Commission. For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and the “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus, if any, together with the free writing prospectuses, if any, used in connection with the Placement, including any documents incorporated by reference therein.

 

  (b)

The Registration Statement (and any further documents to be filed with the Commission) contains all exhibits and schedules as required by the Securities Act. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations and did not and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will 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 not misleading. The Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, and the Prospectus Supplement, each as of its respective date, comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations. Each of the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, did not and will not contain as of the date thereof any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, and none of such documents, when they were filed with the


  Commission, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (with respect to Incorporated Documents incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement), in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, or Prospectus Supplement, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, as applicable, and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement reflecting any facts or events arising after the date thereof which represent, individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental change in the information set forth therein is required to be filed with the Commission.

 

  (c) The Company is eligible to use free writing prospectuses in connection with the Placement pursuant to Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act. Any free writing prospectus that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act has been, or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or that was prepared by or behalf of or used by the Company complies or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Company will not, without the prior consent of WBB, prepare, use or refer to, any free writing prospectus.

 

  (d) Neither the Company nor any of its directors and officers has distributed and none of them will distribute, prior to the Closing Date, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities other than the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, the Prospectus Supplement, the Registration Statement, copies of the documents incorporated by reference therein and any other materials permitted by the Securities Act.

 

4) Representations and Warranties of the Company.

 

  (a)

The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,


  fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

 

  (b) The Securities are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens imposed by the Company. The Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens imposed by the Company. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrants.

 

  (c) The Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of any securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise representing the right to acquire shares of Common Stock (each, a “Common Stock Equivalent”) outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed SEC Report (as defined below). No person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as otherwise disclosed in the SEC Reports (as defined below) or as a result of the purchase and sale of the Securities, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries (each a “Subsidiary”) is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any person (other than to investors and the placement agent in this Offering) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in material compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder or the Board of Directors is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities. Except as otherwise disclosed in the SEC Reports, there are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

 

  (d)

Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within any report or definitive proxy or information statements filed by the Company with the


  Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, 15(d) or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act (the “SEC Reports”), except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed prior to the date hereof, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect, or any development that would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of operations, business, operations or prospects, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, of the Company and its Subsidiaries, considered as one entity (any such effect is called a “Material Adverse Effect”), (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock option plans. The Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment of information. Except for the issuance of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement or as set forth in the SEC Reports, no event, liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, prospects, properties, operations, assets or financial condition that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least 1 Trading Day (as defined below) prior to the date that this representation is made. For purposes of this Agreement, “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the principal securities exchange or trading market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Exchange”).

 

  (e)

The making, execution and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, (i) the charter, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company, as applicable, (ii) any law, order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court, administrative agency, regulatory body, government or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or its properties (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Global Market or other applicable Exchange) or (iii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, except for any conflict, breach, violation or default which is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse


  effect on the Company, its Subsidiaries or any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Company’s performance of its obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

  (f) The Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof, other than (i) as may be required under the Securities Act, (ii) any necessary qualification of the Securities under the securities or blue sky laws of the various jurisdictions in which the Securities are being offered by WBB and (iii) under the rules and regulations of FINRA.

  (g) The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid to the Company’s placement agent in connection with the placement of the Securities.

 

  (h) To enable WBB to rely on Rule 5110(b)(7)(C)(i) of FINRA, the Company represents that the Company, as of the date of this Agreement, (i) has a non-affiliate, public common equity float of at least $150 million or a non-affiliate, public common equity float of at least $100 million and annual trading volume of at least three million shares and (ii) has been subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements for a period of at least 36 months.

 

  (i)

Except as disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement, to the Company’s knowledge having undertaken no special inquiry, there are no legal or governmental actions, suits or proceedings pending or, threatened (i) against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) which has as the subject thereof any officer or director of the Company and is required to be disclosed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act, (iii) which has as the subject thereof any property owned or leased by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (iv) relating to environmental or discrimination matters, where in any such case (A) there is a reasonable possibility that such action, suit or proceeding might be determined adversely to the Company or such subsidiary and (B) any such action, suit or proceeding, if so determined adversely, would


  reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change or adversely affect the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

5) Representations and Warranties of WBB.

WBB hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

  (a) Neither WBB, nor any of its directors, officers, or agents have distributed, and none of them will distribute, prior to the Closing Date, any offering material in connection with the offering or sale of the Securities other than the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, and the Prospectus Supplement.

 

  (b) Neither WBB, nor any of its directors, officers, or agents have, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company.

 

  (c) WBB, nor any of its directors, officers, or agents have distributed, and none of them will distribute, prior to the Closing Date, any offering material in connection with the offer of the Securities, and in no event, any materials that could be deemed a free writing prospectus under the Securities Act.

 

6) Closing.

The obligations of WBB hereunder are subject to the accuracy, when made and on the Closing Date, of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company and its Subsidiaries contained herein and to the performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of their obligations hereunder.

 

7) Information.

The Company agrees to make available to WBB all information relating to the Company (the “Information”) as may be reasonably requested by WBB, which Information, taken as a whole, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company agrees to advise WBB immediately of the occurrence of any event or any other change known to the Company that results in the Information, taken as a whole, containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges that WBB may rely on the Information without undertaking independent verification. WBB hereby agrees and covenants that all non-public Information received by WBB during the term of this Agreement shall be held in strict confidence and not used (except for the purpose of performing WBB’s services


under this Agreement), disseminated, released or otherwise disclosed, except as required pursuant to applicable law, rule or regulations, without the prior written consent of the Company.

 

8) Indemnification.

 

  (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify WBB and its affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees and controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, as the same are incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), relating to or arising out of its activities hereunder or pursuant to this engagement letter, except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are found in a final judgment (not subject to appeal) by a court of law to have resulted primarily and directly from WBB’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in performing the services described herein.

 

  (b) Promptly after receipt by WBB of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which WBB is entitled to indemnity hereunder, WBB will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any obligation it may have hereunder, except and only to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the Company of substantial rights and defenses. If the Company so elects or is requested by WBB, the Company will assume the defense of such action or proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to WBB and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, WBB will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Company and from any other party in such action if counsel for WBB reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and WBB. In such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than one such separate counsel will be paid by the Company, in addition to local counsel. The Company will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding provided that the Company will not settle any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of WBB, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

  (c) The Company agrees to notify WBB promptly of the assertion against it or any other person of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding relating to a transaction contemplated by this engagement letter.

 

  (d)

If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to WBB or insufficient to hold WBB harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by WBB as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and WBB on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and WBB on the other that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The amounts paid or payable by a party in


  respect of losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees and expenses incurred in defending any litigation, proceeding or other action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, WBB’s share of the liability hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount of fees actually received, or to be received, by WBB under this engagement letter (excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses incurred by WBB). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

  (e) These indemnification provisions shall remain in full force and effect whether or not the transaction contemplated by this engagement letter is completed and shall survive the termination of this engagement letter, and shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to any indemnified party under this engagement letter or otherwise.

 

9) Governing Law.

This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in such State. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any right to trial by jury with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement or any transaction or conduct in connection herewith is waived. Any dispute arising under this Agreement may be brought into the courts of the State of New York or into the Federal Court located in New York, New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of aforesaid courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by delivering a copy thereof via overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for 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. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

10) Notices.

Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a business day, (b) the next business day after the

This Agreement may not be amended or modified except in writing and signed by WBB and the Company. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto.
