Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 12, 2008, Discovery Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Committed Equity Financing Facility (the “New CEFF”) with Kingsbridge Capital Limited (“Kingsbridge”) pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). The New CEFF is the fourth CEFF between the Company and Kingsbridge since 2004.

Under the New CEFF, Kingsbridge has committed to purchase up to an aggregate of 15,000,000 newly-issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (subject to a maximum purchase price of $25 million), the proceeds of which will be used to support the Company’s business plans and corporate activities. The Company has the right, from time to time and subject to certain limitations, to initiate a draw down under the New CEFF by issuing a draw-down notice to Kingsbridge identifying draw-down amount and the first day of a six-trading-day pricing period. The maximum amount the Company may draw down in any single pricing period is the lesser of 1.5% of the Company’s market capitalization immediately prior to the commencement of the pricing period and $3 million. Unless the Company and Kingsbridge agree otherwise, the New CEFF provides for two trading days between pricing periods.

The shares will be priced on each trading day of each six-day pricing period at a discount to the volume weighted average price (VWAP) on each such trading day, as follows:

VWAP	% of VWAP			(Applicable Discount)

Greater than $7.25 per share		94	%		(6	)%

Less than or equal to $7.25 but greater than $3.85 per share		92	%		(8	)%

Less than or equal to $3.85 but greater than or equal to $1.75 per share		90	%		(10	)%

Less than or equal to $1.75 but greater than or equal to $1.10 per share		88	%		(12	%)

Less than or equal to $1.10 but greater than or equal to $0.60 per share		85	%		(15	%)

The minimum purchase price at which Common Stock may be sold in any pricing period, before applying the appropriate discount, is the greater of $0.60 or 90% of the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the commencement of a pricing period. If on any trading day during the pricing period for a draw down, the VWAP is less than the minimum purchase price before discount, no shares will be issued with respect to that trading day and the total amount that may be drawn down during that pricing period will be reduced for each such trading day by one-eighth of the amount that the Company initially specified.

In connection with the New CEFF, the Company issued to Kingsbridge a Warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 675,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.5132 per share. The Warrant is exercisable for a five year period beginning June 12, 2009. The Warrant must be exercised for cash, except in limited circumstances.

The Company is not obligated to utilize any of the $25 million available under the New CEFF and there are no minimum commitment or minimum use penalties. The New CEFF does not contain any operating restrictions or financial covenants affecting the Company or minimum market volume restrictions. The New CEFF does not limit the Company’s ability to offer, sell and/or issue securities of any kind, except that the Company is restricted from issuing “future-priced securities”, which are defined to include securities of any type where the purchase, conversion or exchange price is determined using any floating discount or post-issuance adjustable discount to the market price of the Common Stock. During the term of the New CEFF, Kingsbridge is restricted from entering into or executing any “short sale” (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO, or any successor regulation, promulgated by the SEC) of the Common Stock.

In connection with the New CEFF, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Kingsbridge, whereby the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to the resale of the shares issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and underlying the Warrant. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, if the Company suspends or fails to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement, the Company may become obligated to Kingsbridge and has the right to pay such amounts in Common Stock. The issuance of any such Common Stock will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the New CEFF.

The Company relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, in connection with obtaining Kingsbridge’s commitment under the New CEFF, and for the issuance of the Warrant in consideration of such commitment.

Copies of the Warrant, the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are attached as Exhibits 4.1, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the terms of these agreements does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits. The foregoing documents have been filed in order to provide other investors and the Company’s stockholders with information regarding their terms and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such documents may contain representations and warranties that the Company and Kingsbridge made for the benefit of each other in the context of the applicable terms and conditions and in the context of the specific relationship between such parties. Accordingly, other investors and stockholders should not rely on such representations and warranties. Furthermore, other investors and stockholders should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since they were only made as of the date of the respective documents. Information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after such date, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s reports or other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On December 15, 2008 the Company issued a press release announcing the entry into the New CEFF. The full text of the press release is set forth in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Warrant to Purchase up to 675,000 shares of Common Stock of Discovery Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”).

In consideration for Kingsbridge Capital Limited (the “Investor”) agreeing to enter into that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Investor and the Company (the “Agreement”), the Company hereby agrees that the Investor or any other Warrant Holder (as defined below) is entitled, on the terms and conditions set forth below, to purchase from the Company at any time during the Exercise Period (as defined below) up to 675,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at the Exercise Price (as defined below), as the same may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 6 hereof. The resale of the shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant is subject to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Agreement.

Section 1. Definitions.

“Affiliate” shall mean any Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under direct or indirect common control with any other Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control,” when used with respect to any Person, means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the term “controls” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

“Closing Price” as of any particular day shall mean the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock as reported by the Principal Market on such day.

“Exercise Period” shall mean that period beginning six months after the date of this Warrant and continuing until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the five-year period thereafter or (ii) a Funding Default, subject in each case to earlier termination in accordance with Section 6 hereof.

“Exercise Price” as of the date hereof shall mean $1.5132.

“Funding Default” shall mean a failure by Investor to accept a Draw Down Notice made by the Company and to acquire and pay for the Shares in accordance therewith within three (3) Trading Days following the delivery of such Shares to the Investor, provided such Draw Down Notice was made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the obligation of the Investor to accept a Draw Down set forth in Article VII of the Agreement), provided further, that such failure was reasonably within the control of the Investor.

“Per Share Warrant Value” shall mean the difference resulting from subtracting the Exercise Price from the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exercise Date.

“Person” shall mean an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, an association, a trust or other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof.

“Principal Market” shall mean the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock.

“SEC” shall mean the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

“Trading Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Principal Market is open for trading in equity securities.

“Warrant Holder” shall mean the Investor or any permitted assignee or permitted transferee of all or any portion of this Warrant.

“Warrant Shares” shall mean those shares of Common Stock received or to be received upon exercise of this Warrant.

Section 2. Exercise.

(a) Method of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), at any time and from time to time during the Exercise Period, by the Warrant Holder by surrender of this Warrant, with the form of exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A completed and duly executed by the Warrant Holder (the “Exercise Notice”), to the Company at the address set forth in Section 10.4 of the Agreement, accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”). The later of the date on which an Exercise Notice or payment of the Exercise Price (unless this Warrant is exercised in accordance with Section 2(c) below) is received by the Company in accordance with this clause (a) shall be deemed an “Exercise Date.”

(b) Payment of Aggregate Exercise Price. Subject to paragraph (c) below, payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company. If the amount of the payment received by the Company is less than the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Warrant Holder will be notified of the deficiency and shall make payment in that amount within three (3) Trading Days. In the event the payment exceeds the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Company will refund the excess to the Warrant Holder within five (5) Trading Days of receipt.

(c) Cashless Exercise. In the event that the Warrant Shares to be received by the Warrant Holder upon exercise of the Warrant may not be resold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and applicable state laws, the Warrant Holder may, as an alternative to payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise in accordance with paragraph (b) above, elect to effect a cashless exercise by so indicating on the Exercise Notice and including a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms hereof (a “Cashless Exercise”). If a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act or such other form as deemed appropriate by counsel to the Company for the registration of the resale by the Warrant Holder of (x) the shares of Common Stock of the Company that may be purchased under the Agreement, (y) the Warrant Shares, or (z) any securities issued or issuable with respect to any of the foregoing by way of exchange, stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise, has been declared effective by the SEC and remains effective, the Company may, in its sole discretion, require the Warrant Holder to pay the Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares being purchased by the Warrant Holder under this Warrant. The Company may, in its sole discretion, permit the Warrant Holder to effect a Cashless Exercise at any time. In the event of a Cashless Exercise, the Warrant Holder shall receive that number of shares of Common Stock determined by (i) multiplying the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised by the Per Share Warrant Value and (ii) dividing the product by the average Closing Price of the Common Stock during the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the Exercise Date, rounded to the nearest whole share. The Company shall cancel the total number of Warrant Shares equal to the excess of the number of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised over the number of Warrant Shares to be received by the Warrant Holder pursuant to such Cashless Exercise.

(d) Replacement Warrant. In the event that the Warrant is not exercised in full, the number of Warrant Shares shall be reduced by the number of such Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised, and the Company, at its expense, shall forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Warrant Holder a new Warrant of like tenor in the name of the Warrant Holder, reflecting such adjusted number of Warrant Shares.

Section 3. Ten Percent Limitation. The Warrant Holder may not exercise this Warrant such that the number of Warrant Shares to be received pursuant to such exercise aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock that are then beneficially owned or deemed to be beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder would result in (i) the Warrant Holder owning more than 9.9% of all of such Common Stock as would be outstanding on such Exercise Date, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or (ii) the Company being required to file any notification or report forms under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

Section 4. Delivery of Warrant Shares.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, as soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within ten (10) Trading Days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including, without limitation, the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrant Holder, or as the Warrant Holder may lawfully direct, a certificate or certificates for, or make deposit with the Depositary Trust Company via book-entry of, the number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares to which the Warrant Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, together with any other stock or other securities or property (including cash, where applicable) to which the Warrant Holder is entitled upon such exercise in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b) This Warrant may not be exercised as to fractional shares of Common Stock. In the event that the exercise of this Warrant, in full or in part, would result in the issuance of any fractional share of Common Stock, then in such event the Warrant Holder shall receive the number of shares rounded to the nearest whole share.

Section 5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company.

(a) The Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly authorized and, when paid for or issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(b) The Company shall take all commercially reasonable action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation for the legal and valid issuance of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to the Warrant Holder.

(c) The Company has authorized and reserved for issuance to the Warrant Holder the requisite number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Warrant. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery as Warrant Shares hereunder, such shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable as Warrant Shares.

(d) From the date hereof through the last date on which this Warrant is exercisable, the Company shall take all steps commercially reasonable to ensure that the Common Stock remains listed or quoted on the Principal Market.

Section 6. Adjustment of the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price and, accordingly, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

(a) Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, Mandatory Share Exchange, Sale or Transfer.

(i) Upon occurrence of any of the events specified in subsection (a)(ii) below (the “Adjustment Events”) while this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, the Warrant Holder may in its sole discretion require the Company, or any successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, without payment of any additional consideration therefor, upon surrender by the Warrant Holder of the Warrant to be replaced, to execute and deliver to the Warrant Holder a new Warrant providing that the Warrant Holder shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant (upon terms not less favorable to the Warrant Holder than those then applicable to this Warrant) and to receive upon such exercise, in lieu of each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money or property receivable upon such Adjustment Event by the holder of one share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Adjustment Event. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.

(ii) The Adjustment Events shall be (1) any reclassification or change of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, as a result of a subdivision or combination of Common Stock or in connection with an Excluded Merger or Sale) and (2) any consolidation, merger or mandatory share exchange of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger or mandatory share exchange with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change other than a change in par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination of Common Stock), other than (each of the following referred to as an “Excluded Merger or Sale”) a transaction involving (A) sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (B) any merger, consolidation or similar transaction where the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company by the acquiring Person consists substantially of cash or publicly traded securities, or a combination thereof, or where the acquiring Person does not agree to assume the obligations of the Company under outstanding warrants (including this Warrant). In the event of an Excluded Merger or Sale, the Company shall deliver a notice to the Warrant Holder at least 10 days before the consummation of such Excluded Merger or Sale, the Warrant Holder may exercise this Warrant at any time before the consummation of such Excluded Merger or Sale (and such exercise may be made contingent upon the consummation of such Excluded Merger or Sale), and any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised before consummation of such Excluded Merger or Sale shall terminate and expire, and shall no longer be outstanding.

(b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, shall subdivide its Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately reduced as of the effective date of such subdivision, or, if the Company shall take a record of holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of so subdividing its Common Stock, as of such record date, whichever is earlier. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, shall combine its Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased as of the effective date of such combination, or, if the Company shall take a record of holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of so combining its Common Stock, as of such record date, whichever is earlier.

(c) Stock Dividends. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, shall pay a stock dividend or other distribution in shares of Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, as of the date the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of receiving such dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is taken, as at the date of such payment or other distribution), to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such payment or other distribution by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution. The provisions of this subsection (c) shall not apply under any of the circumstances for which an adjustment is provided in subsections (a) or (b).

(d) Liquidating Dividends, Etc. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, makes a distribution of its assets or evidences of indebtedness to the holders of its Common Stock as a dividend in liquidation or by way of return of capital or other than as a dividend payable out of earnings or surplus legally available for dividends under applicable law or any distribution to such holders made in respect of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (other than under the circumstances provided for in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c)), then the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant in addition to the Warrant Shares receivable in connection therewith, and without payment of any consideration other than the Exercise Price, the kind and amount of such distribution per share of Common Stock multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that, on the record date for such distribution, are issuable upon such exercise of the Warrant (with no further adjustment being made following any event which causes a subsequent adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable), and an appropriate provision therefor shall be made a part of any such distribution. The value of a distribution that is paid in other than cash shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a proposed dividend in liquidation or distribution to the stockholders made in respect of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the Company shall deliver a notice to the Warrant Holder at least 10 days before the date on which the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of receiving such dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is taken, at least 10 days before the date of such payment or other distribution), the Warrant Holder may exercise this Warrant at any time before such record date or the date of such payment or other distribution, as applicable, (and such exercise may be made contingent upon such payment or other distribution), and any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised before such record date or the date of such payment or other distribution, as applicable, shall terminate and expire, and shall no longer be outstanding.

(e) Adjustment for Spin Off. If, for any reason, prior to the exercise of this Warrant in full, the Company spins off or otherwise divests itself of a part of its business or operations or disposes all or a part of its assets in a transaction (a “Spin Off”) in which the Company does not receive compensation for such business, operations or assets, but causes securities of another entity (“Spin Off Securities”) to be issued to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Company shall cause (i) to be reserved Spin Off Securities equal to the number thereof which would have been issued to the Warrant Holder in the event that the entire unexercised portion of this Warrant outstanding on the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining the number of Spin Off Securities to be issued to holders of Common Stock had been exercised by the Warrant Holder as of the close of business on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Record Date (the “Reserved Spin Off Shares”), and (ii) to be issued to the Warrant Holder on the exercise of all or any unexercised portion of this Warrant, such amount of the Reserved Spin Off Shares equal to (x) the Reserved Spin Off Shares multiplied by (y) a fraction, of which (I) the numerator is the unexercised portion of this Warrant then being exercised, and (II) the denominator is the aggregate amount of the unexercised portion of this Warrant.

Section 7. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Company shall promptly prepare a certificate signed by its Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Company’s Board of Directors made any determination hereunder), and the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable at that Exercise Price after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall promptly cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Warrant Holder by a means set forth in Section 10.4 of the Agreement.

Section 8. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution or issue or sale of securities, willfully avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrant Holder against wrongful impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, and (b) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8 shall restrict or impair the Company’s right to effect any changes to the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions associated with the Warrant Shares so long as such changes do not affect the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions associated with the Warrant Shares in a manner adversely different from the effect that such changes have generally on the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions associated with all other shares of Common Stock.

Section 9. Rights As Stockholder. Except as set forth in Section 6 above, prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Holder shall not be entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Warrant Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon or be notified of stockholder meetings.

Section 10. Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

Section 11. Choice of Law. This Warrant shall be construed under the laws of the State of New York.

Section 12. Entire Agreement; Amendments. Except for any written instrument concurrent or subsequent to the date hereof executed by the Company and the Investor, this Warrant, the Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and thereby. No provision of this Warrant may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment or waiver is sought.

Section 13. Restricted Securities.

(a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance upon the provisions of Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and/or upon such other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as may be available with respect to this Warrant. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

(b) Legend. Any replacement Warrants issued pursuant to Section 2 and Section 10 hereof and, unless a registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC and remains effective in accordance with the Securities Act with respect thereto, any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise hereof, shall bear the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION.”

(c) No Other Legend or Stock Transfer Restrictions. No legend other than the one specified in Section 13(b) has been or shall be placed on the share certificates representing the Warrant Shares and no instructions or “stop transfer orders” (so called “stock transfer restrictions”) or other restrictions have been or shall be given to the Company’s transfer agent with respect thereto other than as expressly set forth in this Section 13.

(d) Assignment. Assuming the conditions of Section 13(a) above regarding registration or exemption have been satisfied, the Warrant Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Warrant (each of the foregoing, a “Transfer”), in whole or in part, but only to an Affiliate of the Warrant Holder. The Warrant Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the person or persons to whom the Warrant shall be Transferred and the respective number of Warrant Shares to be covered by the warrants to be Transferred to each assignee. The Company shall effect the Transfer within ten (10) days, and shall deliver to the Transferee(s) designated by the Warrant Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares. In connection with and as a condition of any such proposed Transfer, the Company may require (i) the Warrant Holder to provide an opinion of counsel to the Warrant Holder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the proposed Transfer complies with all applicable federal and state securities laws and (ii) any such Transferee to provide customary representations and warranties attendant to the acquisition of unregistered securities, including without limitation the transferee’s investment intent and status as an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D.

(e) Investor’s Compliance. Nothing in this Section 13 shall affect in any way the Investor’s obligations under any agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Common Stock.

Section 14. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 10.4 of the Agreement.

Section 15. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

Section 16. Company Call Right.

(a) If a Funding Default occurs, the Company shall have the right to demand the surrender of this Warrant or any remaining portion thereof, Warrant Shares and/or cash from the Investor as follows (the “Call Right”):

(i) If the Investor has not previously exercised this Warrant in full, then the Company shall have a right to demand the surrender of this Warrant, or remaining portion thereof, from the Investor without compensation, and the Investor shall promptly surrender this Warrant, or remaining portion thereof. Following such demand for surrender, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to have been canceled and shall have no further force or effect.

(ii) If, prior to receiving a Call Right Notice (as defined below), the Investor has previously exercised this Warrant with respect to some or all of the Warrant Shares, and the Investor has not previously sold such Warrant Shares, then the Company shall have a right to purchase from the Investor that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise(s) of the Warrant, at a repurchase price per share equal to the price per share paid by the Investor in connection with such exercise(s). For greater certainty, (a) if Warrant Shares were exercised for cash, the purchase price per share under the Call Right shall be equal to the Exercise Price, (b) if Warrant Shares were exercised in a Cashless Exercise, the purchase price per share for such Warrant Shares under the Call Right shall be zero, and (c) if such Warrant Shares were exercised on both a cash and Cashless Exercise basis, the purchase price per share under the Call Right shall be equal to the total amount of cash paid in connection with such cash exercise(s) divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with all exercises of the Warrant (whether on a cash or Cashless Exercise basis).

(iii) If, prior to receiving a Call Right Notice, the Investor has previously exercised this Warrant with respect to some or all of the Warrant Shares, and the Investor subsequently sold such Warrant Shares, then the Investor shall remit to the Company the excess, if any, of (x) the proceeds received by Investor through the sale of such Warrant Shares, over (y) the aggregate Exercise Price for such Warrant Shares. In the event that the Investor obtained such Warrant Shares through a Cashless Exercise, then the Investor shall instead remit to the Company all proceeds received by the Investor through the sale of such Warrant Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Investor has sold some or all of the Warrant Shares prior to receiving a Call Right Notice, then the right set forth in this paragraph (iii) shall constitute the sole Call Right of the Company with respect to such Warrant Shares which have been sold.

(b) The Company may exercise the Call Right by delivering a notice (the “Call Right Notice”) to the Investor within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of a Funding Default. On the tenth (10th) business day following delivery of the Call Right Notice to the Investor, the Company shall tender the purchase price, if any, and the Investor shall tender shares of Common Stock, if any, to be sold to the Company pursuant to the Call Right Notice, immediately following which the Company and the Investor shall consummate such purchase and sale. The Call Right shall survive both the assignment of the Warrant by the Investor and the disposition of the Warrant Shares by the Investor following exercise of the Warrant.

During the Commitment Period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, issue a Draw Down Notice (as hereinafter defined) which shall specify the dollar amount of Shares the Company elects to sell to the Investor (each such election, a “Draw Down”) up to a Draw Down Amount equal to the Maximum Draw Down Amount, which Draw Down the Investor shall be obligated to accept. The Company shall inform the Investor in writing by sending a duly completed Draw Down Notice (as hereinafter defined) in the form of Exhibit C hereto by e-mail to the addresses set forth in Section 10.4, with a copy to the Investor’s counsel, as to such Draw Down Amount before commencement of trading on the first Trading Day of the related Draw Down Pricing Period (the “Draw Down Notice”).

Each Draw Down Notice shall be accompanied by a certificate, signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Executive Vice President and General Counsel, dated as of the date of such Draw Down Notice, in the form of Exhibit D hereof.

Section 3.2 Number of Shares. Subject to Section 3.6(b), the number of Shares to be issued in connection with each Draw Down shall be equal to the sum of the number of shares issuable on each Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period. Subject to Section 3.6(b), the number of shares issuable on a Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period shall be equal to the quotient of one sixth (1/6th) of the Draw Down Amount divided by the Draw Down Discount Price for such Trading Day.

Section 3.3 Limitation on Draw Downs. Only one Draw Down shall be permitted for each Draw Down Pricing Period.

Section 3.4 Trading Cushion. Unless the parties agree in writing otherwise, there shall be a minimum of two (2) Trading Days between the expiration of any Draw Down Pricing Period and the beginning of the next succeeding Draw Down Pricing Period.

Section 3.5 Settlement. Subject to Section 3.6(b), the number of Shares purchased by the Investor in any Draw Down shall be determined and settled on two separate dates. Shares purchased by the Investor during the first three Trading Days of any Draw Down Pricing Period shall be determined and settled no later than the fifth Trading Day of such Draw Down Pricing Period. Shares purchased by the Investor during the second three Trading Days of any Draw Down Pricing Period shall be determined and settled no later than the second Trading Day after the last Trading Day of such Draw Down Pricing Period. Each date on which settlement of the purchase and sale of Shares occurs hereunder being referred to as a “Settlement Date.” The Investor shall provide the Company with delivery instructions for the Shares to be issued at each Settlement Date at least two Trading Days in advance of such Settlement Date. The number of Shares actually issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of Shares.

Section 3.6 Delivery of Shares; Payment of Draw Down Amount.

(a) On each Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver the Shares purchased by the Investor to the Investor or its designees exclusively via book-entry through the DTC to an account designated by the Investor, and upon receipt of the Shares, the Investor shall cause payment thereof to be made to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Shares are received by the Investor no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), or next day available funds, if the Shares are received thereafter. Upon the written request of the Company, the Investor will cause its banker to confirm to the Company that the Investor has provided irrevocable instructions to cause payment for the Shares to be made as set forth above, upon confirmation by such banker that the Shares have been delivered through the DTC in unrestricted form.

(b) For each Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period on which the VWAP is less than the greater of (i) 90% of the Closing Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the commencement of such Draw Down Pricing Period, or (ii) $.60, such Trading Day shall not be used in calculating the number of Shares to be issued in connection with such Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be reduced by one sixth (1/6th) of the initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice. If trading in the Company’s Common Stock is suspended for any reason for more than three (3) consecutive or non-consecutive hours during any Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period, such Trading Day shall not be used in calculating the number of Shares to be issued in connection with such Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be reduced by one sixth (1/6th) of the initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice.

Section 3.7 Failure to Deliver Shares. If on any Settlement Date, the Company fails to take all actions within the reasonable control of the Company to cause the delivery of the Shares purchased by the Investor, and such failure is not cured within two (2) Trading Days following such Settlement Date, the Company shall pay to the Investor on demand in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Investor the “Make Whole Amount;” provided, however, that in the event that the Company is prevented from delivering Shares in respect of any such Settlement Date in a timely manner by any fact or circumstance that is not reasonably within the control of, or directly attributable to, the Company, or is otherwise reasonably within the control of, or directly attributable to, the Investor, then such two (2) Trading Day period shall be automatically extended until such time as such fact or circumstance is cured. As used herein, the Make Whole Amount shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Draw Down Amount actually paid by the Investor in respect of such Shares plus (ii) an amount equal to the actual loss suffered by the Investor in respect of sales to subsequent purchasers, pursuant to transactions entered into before the Settlement Date, of the Shares that were required to be delivered by the Company, which shall be based upon documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating the difference (if greater than zero) between (A) the price per share paid by the Investor to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock necessary for the Investor to meet its share delivery obligations to such subsequent purchasers minus (B) the average Draw Down Discount Price during the applicable Draw Down Pricing Period in respect of such Settlement Date. In the event that the Make Whole Amount is not paid within two (2) Trading Days following a demand therefor from the Investor, the Make Whole Amount shall accrue interest compounded daily at a rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis points, per annum up to and including the date on which the Make Whole Amount is actually paid. For the purposes of this Section 3.7 facts or circumstances that are reasonably within the control of the Company include such facts and circumstances directly attributable to acts or omissions of the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, including, without limitation, any transfer agent(s), accountant(s) and/or attorney(s) engaged by the Company in connection with the Company’s performance of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that the Company pays the Make Whole Amount (plus interest, if applicable) in respect of any Settlement Date in accordance with this Section 3.7, such payment shall be the Investor’s sole remedy in respect of the Company’s failure to deliver Shares in respect of such Settlement Date, and the Company shall not be obligated to deliver such Shares.

If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time. The Company shall not be required to disclose to the Investor the substance or specific reasons of any of the events set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of the previous sentence, only that the event has occurred.

Subject to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and state securities laws in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares and the Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be under any obligation to the Investor to supplement the Prospectus or to reflect the issuance of any Shares pursuant to a Draw Down or deliver any Prospectus as so supplemented at any time prior to the second Trading Day following the second Settlement Date with respect to such Draw Down.

TERMINATION

Section 8.1 Term. Unless otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 8.2 below, this Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of the Commitment Period or (ii) the issuance of Shares pursuant to this Agreement in an amount equal to the Maximum Commitment Amount.

Section 8.2 Other Termination.

(a) The Investor may terminate this Agreement upon (x) one (1) Trading Day’s notice if the Company enters into any Prohibited Transaction as set forth in Section 6.7 without the Investor’s prior written consent, or (y) one (1) Trading Day’s notice if the Investor provides written notice of a Material Adverse Effect to the Company, and such Material Adverse Effect continues for a period of ten (10) Trading Days after the receipt by the Company of such notice.

(b) The Investor may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) Trading Day’s notice to the Company at any time in the event that the Registration Statement is not initially declared effective in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, provided, however, that in the event the Registration Statement is declared effective prior to the delivery of such notice, the Investor shall thereafter have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(b).

(c) The Company may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) Trading Day’s notice; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) during any Draw Down Pricing Period; provided further, that, in the event of any termination of this Agreement by the Company hereunder, so long as the Investor owns Shares purchased hereunder and/or Warrant Shares, unless all of such shares of Common Stock may be resold by the Investor without registration and without any time, volume or manner limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act, the Company shall not suspend or withdraw the Registration Statement or otherwise cause the Registration Statement to become ineffective, or voluntarily delist the Common Stock from, the Principal Market without listing the Common Stock on another Principal Market.

(d) Each of the parties hereto may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) Trading Day’s notice if the other party has breached a material representation, warranty or covenant to this Agreement and such breach is not remedied within ten (10) Trading Days after notice of such breach is delivered to the breaching party.

Section 8.3 Effect of Termination.

If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 8.1 or 8.2 herein, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except as provided in Section 10.13. Nothing in this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to release the Company or the Investor from any liability for any breach under this Agreement occurring prior to such termination, or to impair the rights of the Company and the Investor to compel specific performance by the other party of its obligations under this Agreement arising prior to such termination.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1 Indemnification.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, unless disputed as set forth in Section 9.2, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all Damages directly resulting from or directly arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement (except as otherwise specifically provided) by the Company in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable under this Article IX to an Investor Indemnified Party to the extent that such Damages resulted or arose from the breach by an Investor Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of an Investor Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant or the negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or bad faith of an Investor Indemnified Party. The parties intend that any Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX will be net of insurance proceeds (which the Investor Indemnified Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover). Accordingly, the amount which the Company is required to pay to any Investor Indemnified Party hereunder (a “Company Indemnity Payment”) will be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually recovered by or on behalf of any Investor Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Damages. In addition, if an Investor Indemnified Party receives a Company Indemnity Payment required by this Article IX in respect of any Damages and subsequently receives any such insurance proceeds, then the Investor Indemnified Party will pay to the Company an amount equal to the Company Indemnity Payment received less the amount of the Company Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the insurance proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Company Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, unless disputed as set forth in Section 9.2, the Investor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all Damages directly resulting from or directly arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Investor in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant; provided, however, that the Investor shall not be liable under this Article IX to a Company Indemnified Party to the extent that such Damages resulted or arose from the breach by a Company Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of a Company Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant or the negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or bad faith of a Company Indemnified Party. The parties intend that any Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX will be net of insurance proceeds (which the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover). Accordingly, the amount which the Investor is required to pay to any Company Indemnified Party hereunder (an “Investor Indemnity Payment”) will be reduced by any insurance proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of any Company Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Damages. In addition, if a Company Indemnified Party receives an Investor Indemnity Payment required by this Article IX in respect of any Damages and subsequently receives any such insurance proceeds, then the Company Indemnified Party will pay to the Investor an amount equal to the Investor Indemnity Payment received less the amount of the Investor Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the insurance proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Investor Indemnity Payment was made.

Section 9.2 Notification of Claims for Indemnification. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Article IX (an “Indemnified Party”) shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any claim against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party under this Article IX (the “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof. Any such notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail. The failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party (a) other than pursuant to this Article IX or (b) under this Article IX unless, and only to the extent that, such failure results in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The procedures listed below shall govern the procedures for the handling of indemnification claims.

(a) Any claim for indemnification for Damages that do not result from a Third Party Claim as defined in the following paragraph, shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment as set forth in Section 9.1. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement.

(b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a person or entity not a party to this Agreement of any threatened legal action or claim (collectively a “Third Party Claim”), with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim.

(c) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and, unless the Indemnifying Party has specified any reservations or exceptions, to seek to settle or compromise) at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party (or sooner if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement. In case any such Third Party Claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Third Party Claim in which both the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to control its own defense of such claim if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, either (x) one or more significant defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Party or (y) a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable; provided, however, that in such circumstances the Indemnifying Party (i) shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all Indemnified Parties and (ii) shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for such reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel incurred in any such Third Party Claim, as such expenses are incurred, provided that the Indemnified Parties agree to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party was not obligated to provide indemnification under this Article IX. The Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim. The rights accorded to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Article IX shall restrict or limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek equitable relief.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1 Fees and Expenses.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, in the Warrant, and in the Purchase Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows (capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement):

ARTICLE I

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 1.1 Registration Statement.

(a) Filing of the Registration Statement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall file with the Commission within ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act or such other form as deemed appropriate by counsel to the Company for the registration for the resale by the Investor of the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Statement”), provided, however, that the Company’s obligations in this Article I are subject to any limitations on the Company’s ability to register the full complement of such Registrable Securities in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act or other regulatory limitations.

(b) Effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the Closing Date and (ii) to ensure that the Registration Statement remains in effect throughout the term of this Agreement as set forth in Section 4.2, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c) Regulatory Disapproval. The contemplated effective date for the Registration Statement as described in Section 1.1(b) shall be extended without default or liquidated damages hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement in the event that the Company’s failure to obtain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on a timely basis results from (i) the failure of the Investor to timely provide the Company with information requested by the Company and necessary to complete the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) the Commission’s disapproval of the structure of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, or (iii) events or circumstances that are not in any way attributable to the Company, including but not limited to delays caused by the Commission. In the event of clause (ii) above, the parties agree to cooperate with one another in good faith to arrive at a resolution acceptable to the Commission.

(d) Failure to Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement. In the event the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (or the Prospectus) throughout the period set forth in Section 4.2, other than temporary suspensions as set forth in Section 1.1(e), and the Investor holds any Registrable Securities at any time during the period of such ineffectiveness (an “Ineffective Period”), and provided that such failure to maintain effectiveness was within the reasonable control of the Company, the Company shall pay on demand to the Investor in immediately available funds into an account designated by the Investor an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Registrable Securities issued to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Warrant Shares) and owned by the Investor at any time during such Ineffective Period (and not otherwise sold, hypothecated or transferred) and (ii) the result, if greater than zero, obtained by subtracting the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately following the last day of such Ineffective Period from the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the day on which any such Ineffective Period began; provided, however, that (A) the foregoing payments shall not apply in respect of Registrable Securities (I) that are otherwise freely tradable by the Investor, including pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (as such Rule may be amended from time to time, "Rule 144") or (II) if the Company offers to repurchase from the Investor such Registrable Securities for a per share purchase price equal to the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the day on which any such Ineffective Period began and (B) unless otherwise required by any applicable federal and state securities laws, the Company shall be under no obligation to supplement the Prospectus to reflect the issuance of any Shares pursuant to a Draw Down at any time prior to the day following the Settlement Date with respect to such Shares and that the failure to supplement the Prospectus prior to such time shall not be deemed a failure to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (or Prospectus) for purposes of this Agreement (including this Section 1.1(d)).

(e) Deferral or Suspension During a Blackout Period. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1(d), if in the good faith judgment of the Company, following consultation with legal counsel, it would be detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for the Registration Statement to be filed or for resales of Registrable Securities to be made pursuant to the Registration Statement due to (i) the existence of a material development or potential material development involving the Company that the Company would be obligated to disclose or incorporate by reference in the Registration Statement and which the Company has not disclosed, or which disclosure would be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time or would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or its stockholders, or (ii) a filing of a Company-initiated registration of any class of its equity securities would adversely affect or require premature disclosure of such filing (the Company’s notice thereof, a “Blackout Notice”), the Company shall have the right to (A) immediately defer such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) days beyond the date by which such Registration Statement was otherwise required hereunder to be filed or (B) suspend use of such Registration Statement for a period of not more than thirty (30) days (any such deferral or suspension period, a “Blackout Period”). The Investor acknowledges that it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Registration Statement to be filed (or remain in effect) during a Blackout Period and therefore essential to defer such filing (or suspend the use thereof) during such Blackout Period and agrees to cease any disposition of the Registrable Securities during such Blackout Period. The Company may not utilize any of its rights under this Section 1.1(e) to defer the filing of a Registration Statement (or suspend its effectiveness) more than six (6) times in any twelve (12) month period. In the event that, within fifteen (15) Trading Days following any Settlement Date, the Company gives a Blackout Notice to the Investor and the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Blackout Period (“Old VWAP”) is greater than the VWAP on the first Trading Day following such Blackout Period that the Investor may sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective Registration Statement (“New VWAP”), then the Company shall pay to the Investor, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Investor, the “Blackout Amount.” For the purposes of this Agreement, Blackout Amount means a percentage equal to: (1) seventy-five percent (75%) if such Blackout Notice is delivered prior to the fifth (5th) Trading Day following such Settlement Date; (2) fifty percent (50%) if such Blackout Notice is delivered on or after the fifth (5th) Trading Day following such Settlement Date, but prior to the tenth (10th) Trading Day following such Settlement Date; (3) twenty-five percent (25%) if such Blackout Notice is delivered on or after the tenth (10th) Trading Day following such Settlement Date, but prior to the fifteenth (15th) Trading Day following such Settlement Date; and (4) zero percent (0%) thereafter of: the product of (i) the number of Registrable Securities purchased by the Investor pursuant to the most recent Draw Down and actually held by the Investor (and not otherwise sold, hypothecated or transferred) immediately prior to the Blackout Period and (ii) the result, if greater than zero, obtained by subtracting the New VWAP from the Old VWAP; provided, however, that no Blackout Amount shall be payable in respect of Registrable Securities (x) that are otherwise freely tradable by the Investor, including under Rule 144, during the Blackout Period or (y) if the Company offers to repurchase from the Investor such Registrable Securities for a per share purchase price equal to the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the day on which any such Blackout Period began. For any Blackout Period in respect of which a Blackout Amount becomes due and payable, rather than paying the Blackout Amount, the Company may at is sole discretion, issue to the Investor shares of Common Stock with an aggregate market value determined as of the first Trading Day following such Blackout Period equal to the Blackout Amount (“Blackout Shares”).

(f) Liquidated Damages; Sole Remedy. The Company and the Investor hereto acknowledge and agree that the amounts payable under Sections 1.1(d) and 1.1(e) and the Blackout Shares deliverable under Section 1.1(e) above shall constitute liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Investor is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified in such subsections bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred in connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (iii) one of the reasons for the Company and the Investor reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages, and (iv) the Company and the Investor are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length. The Investor agrees that, so long as the Company makes the payments or deliveries provided for in Sections 1.1(d) or 1.1(e), as applicable, the Company’s failure to maintain the effectiveness, deferral or suspension of the Registration Statement that triggered such payments or deliveries shall not constitute a material breach or default of any obligation of the Company to the Investor and such payments or deliveries shall constitute the Investor’s sole remedies with respect thereto.

(g) Additional Registration Statements. In the event and to the extent that the Registration Statement fails to register a sufficient amount of Common Stock necessary for the Company to issue and sell to the Investor and the Investor to purchase from the Company all of the Registrable Securities to be issued, sold and purchased under the Purchase Agreement and the Warrant, the Company shall, upon a timetable mutually agreeable to both the Company and the Investor, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission an additional registration statement or statements in order to effectuate the purpose of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, and the Warrant.

ARTICLE II

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

Section 2.1 Filings; Information. The Company shall effect the registration with respect to the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor in accordance with the intended methods of disposition thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company in each such case will do the following as expeditiously as is commercially reasonable, but in no event later than the deadline, if any, prescribed therefor in this Agreement:

(a) Subject to Section 1.1(e), the Company shall (i) prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such filed Registration Statement to become and to remain effective (pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or otherwise); (iii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the time period prescribed by Section 4.2 and in order to effectuate the purpose of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, and the Warrant; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Investor set forth in such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall be under no obligation to supplement the Prospectus to reflect the issuance of any Shares pursuant to a Draw Down at any time prior to the Trading Day following the second Settlement Date with respect to a Draw Down and, provided further, however, that the Investor shall be responsible for the delivery of the Prospectus to the Persons to whom the Investor sells the Shares and the Warrant Shares, and the Investor agrees to dispose of Registrable Securities in compliance with the plan of distribution described in the Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

(b) The Company shall deliver to the Investor and its counsel, in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 4.8, such number of copies of the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto), the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents or information as the Investor or counsel may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, provided, however, that to the extent reasonably practicable, such delivery may be accomplished via electronic means.

(c) After the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly notify the Investor of any stop order issued or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission in connection therewith and take all commercially reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered.

(d) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of each jurisdiction in the United States as the Investor may reasonably (in light of its intended plan of distribution) request, and (ii) cause the Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities in the United States as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other customary acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Investor to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 2.1(d), subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, consent or subject itself to general service of process in any such jurisdiction, change any existing business practices, benefit plans or outstanding securities or amend or otherwise modify the Charter or Bylaws.

(e) The Company shall make available to the Investor (and will deliver to Investor’s counsel), (i) subject to restrictions imposed by the United States federal government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, copies of all public correspondence between the Commission and the Company concerning the Registration Statement and will also make available for inspection by the Investor and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by the Investor (collectively, the “Inspectors”), (ii) upon reasonable advance notice during normal business hours all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection with the Registration Statement; provided, however, that (x) the Company shall not be obligated to disclose any portion of the Records consisting of either (A) material non-public information or (B) confidential information of a third party and (y) any such Inspectors must agree in writing for the benefit of the Company not to use or disclose any such Records except as provided in this Section 2.1(e). Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and that it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless the disclosure or release of such Records is requested or required pursuant to oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents or a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or other judicial or governmental process; provided, however, that prior to any disclosure or release pursuant to the immediately preceding clause, the Inspectors shall provide the Company with prompt notice of any such request or requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or waive such Inspectors’ obligation not to disclose such Records; and, provided, further, that if failing the entry of a protective order or the waiver by the Company permitting the disclosure or release of such Records, the Inspectors, upon advice of counsel, are compelled to disclose such Records, the Inspectors may disclose that portion of the Records that counsel has advised the Inspectors that the Inspectors are compelled to disclose; provided, however, that upon any such required disclosure, such Inspector shall use his or her best efforts to obtain reasonable assurances that confidential treatment will be afforded such information. The Investor agrees that information obtained by it solely as a result of such inspections (not including any information obtained from a third party who, insofar as is known to the Investor after reasonable inquiry, is not prohibited from providing such information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to the Company) shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used for any purposes other than as indicated above or by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company or its affiliates unless and until such information is made generally available to the public. The Investor further agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.

(f) The Company shall otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, including, without limitation, compliance with applicable reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.

(g) The Company shall appoint (or shall have appointed) a transfer agent and registrar for all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement.

(h) The Investor shall cooperate with the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder. The Company may require the Investor to promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information as may be required in connection with such registration including, without limitation, all such information as may be requested by the Commission, the NASDAQ Stock Market or FINRA or any state securities commission and all such information regarding the Investor, the Registrable Securities held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities. The Investor agrees to provide such information requested in connection with such registration within five (5) business days after receiving such written request and the Company shall not be responsible for any delays in obtaining or maintaining the effectiveness of the Registration Statement caused by the Investor’s failure to timely provide such information.

(i) Upon receipt of a Blackout Notice from the Company, the Investor shall immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until (i) the Company advises the Investor that the Blackout Period has terminated and (ii) the Investor receives copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus, if necessary. If so directed by the Company, the Investor will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in the Investor’s possession (other than a limited number of file copies) of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice.

Except as set forth in Section 10.1 of the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall pay all registration expenses incurred in connection with the Registration Statement (the “Registration Expenses”), including, without limitation: (a) all registration, filing, securities exchange listing and fees required by the NASDAQ Stock Market, (b) all registration, filing, qualification and other fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (c) all of the Company’s word processing, duplicating, printing, messenger and delivery expenses, (d) the Company’s internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (e) the fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities, (f) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and customary fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses of any special audits or comfort letters or costs associated with the delivery by independent certified public accountants of such special audit(s) or comfort letter(s), (g) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration and amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and Prospectus, and (h) premiums and other costs of the Company for policies of insurance against liabilities of the Company arising out of any public offering of the Registrable Securities being registered, to the extent that the Company, in its discretion, elects to obtain and maintain such insurance. Any fees and disbursements of underwriters, broker-dealers or investment bankers, including without limitation underwriting fees, discounts, transfer taxes or commissions, and any other fees or expenses (including legal fees and expenses) if any, attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities, shall be payable by each holder of Registrable Securities pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities of each such holder that are included in a registration under this Agreement.

Exhibit 99.1

Discovery Labs Secures $25 Million Committed Equity Financing Facility

Warrington, PA — December 15, 2008 — Discovery Laboratories, Inc. (Nasdaq: DSCO), has entered into a new Committed Equity Financing Facility (New CEFF) with Kingsbridge Capital Limited, a private investment group, in which Kingsbridge has committed to provide up to $25 million of capital over a two-year period through the purchase of newly-issued shares of Discovery Labs’ common stock. This New CEFF is in addition to the April 2006 and May 2008 Committed Equity Financing Facilities with Kingsbridge (the Prior CEFFs). Under the terms of the New CEFF agreement, Discovery Labs will determine the exact timing and amount of any financings, subject to certain conditions. The New CEFF allows Discovery Labs to raise capital, at its discretion, to support the Company’s business plans.

John G. Cooper, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Discovery Labs, commented, “We intend to use this New CEFF judiciously to manage our financial position as we wait for the FDA’s April 2009 potential approval of SURFAXIN® for the prevention of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in premature infants. The New CEFF also provides us with flexibility to manage Discovery Labs’ financial position during the difficult economic environment that currently plagues the financial markets. Our ability to choose the timing and amount of financings under all of our CEFF arrangements may potentially permit us to minimize dilution for our shareholders.”

Under the terms of the New CEFF, Discovery Labs has access to up to $25 million from Kingsbridge in exchange for newly-issued shares of Discovery Labs’ common stock. The funds that can be raised under the New CEFF will depend on the number of shares actually sold, which may not exceed in the aggregate 15 million shares. Discovery Labs may access the New CEFF for up to two years after the Securities and Exchange Commission declares effective a registration statement to be filed by Discovery Labs covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable in connection with the New CEFF.

Discovery Labs may access capital under the New CEFF from time to time in draw downs of up to the lesser of $3 million or 1.5% of Discovery Labs’ market capitalization at the time of the draw down, subject to certain conditions. The shares to be purchased by Kingsbridge in each draw down will be issued and priced over a six-trading-day period. Kingsbridge will purchase shares of Discovery Labs’ common stock at discounts ranging from 6% to 15% to the daily volume-weighted average market price of the common stock. The minimum acceptable purchase price (before applicable discount) for shares to be purchased by Kingsbridge during a draw-down pricing period is the greater of $0.60 or 90% of the closing price of Discovery Labs’ common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the draw-down pricing period. Throughout the term of the New CEFF (and the Prior CEFFs), Kingsbridge is restricted from engaging in any short selling of Discovery Labs’ common stock.

Discovery Labs is not obligated to use any of the $25 million available under the New CEFF. The New CEFF does not restrict Discovery Labs’ operating activities and does not prohibit Discovery Labs from entering into or completing debt or equity financings, other than those that would involve certain future-priced securities.

In connection with the New CEFF, Discovery Labs issued a warrant to Kingsbridge to purchase up to 675,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.5132 per share, which represents a 30% premium over the average of the closing prices of Discovery Labs’ common stock during the five trading days preceding the closing of the New CEFF. The warrant will be exercisable beginning six months from the date of the agreement and will remain exercisable for five years.

The securities issuable in connection with the New CEFF and upon the exercise of the warrant issued to Kingsbridge have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or available exemptions from registration requirements. Discovery Labs has agreed to file a registration statement for the resale of the shares of common stock issuable in connection with the New CEFF and the shares of common stock underlying the warrant. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor will there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

About Discovery Labs

Discovery Laboratories, Inc. is a biotechnology company developing Surfactant Replacement Therapies (SRT) for respiratory diseases. Surfactants are produced naturally in the lungs and are essential for breathing. Discovery Labs’ technology produces a peptide-containing synthetic surfactant that is structurally similar to pulmonary surfactant. Discovery Labs believes that, with its proprietary technology, SRT has the potential, for the first time, to address a variety of respiratory diseases affecting neonatal, pediatric and adult patients.

Discovery Labs’ lead product from its SRT pipeline is SURFAXIN® for the prevention of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in premature infants. The U.S. FDA has established April 17, 2009 as its target date to complete its review of this new drug application (NDA) and potentially grant marketing approval for this product. SURFAXIN is also being developed for other neonatal and pediatric indications. AEROSURF®, Discovery Labs’ aerosolized SRT, is being developed to potentially obviate the need for intubation and conventional mechanical ventilation and holds the promise to significantly expand the use of surfactants in respiratory medicine.
