Dear ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇:

 

This letter (the “Agreement”) constitutes the agreement between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC (“▇▇▇▇▇▇” or the “Placement Agent”) and PharmAthene, Inc. (the “Company”) that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall serve, on a “best efforts” basis, as the non-exclusive placement agent (to serve as lead co-manager with ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. (“▇▇▇▇▇”)) for the Company in connection with the proposed public offering placement (the “Placement”) of registered securities (the “Securities”) of the Company, consisting of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  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 an agreement of the parties that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ obligations hereunder are on a reasonable best efforts basis only and that the execution of this Agreement neither constitutes a commitment by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to purchase the Securities nor ensures the successful placement of the Securities or any portion thereof.

SECTION 2.                                REGISTRATION STATEMENT.

 

The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Placement Agent as follows:

 

(A)                              The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration File No. 333-156997) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which became effective on February 12, 2009, for the registration under the Securities Act of the Shares and Warrants.  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 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 under this Act, a supplement to the form of prospectus included in such registration statement relating to the placement of the Shares and Warrants and the plan of distribution thereof and has advised the Placement Agent 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 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, “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus supplement used in connection with the Placement, including any documents incorporated by reference therein.

(B)                                The Registration Statement (and any further documents to be filed in connection therewith by the Company with the Commission) contains all exhibits and schedules as required by the Securities Act.  The Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations and did not—and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not, as of the effective date of such amendment or supplement, 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; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any written statements or omissions made in reliance upon information furnished to the Company by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ expressly for use therein.  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; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon written information furnished to the Company by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ expressly for use therein.  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 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; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon written information furnished to the Company by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ expressly for use therein.  No post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement reflecting any facts or events arising after the date thereof but prior to the date hereof that represent, individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental change in the information set forth therein is required to be filed with the Commission.  There are no documents required to be filed with the Commission in connection with the Placement that (x) have not been filed as required pursuant to the Securities Act or (y) will not be filed within the requisite time period.  There are no contracts or other documents required to be described in the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, or Prospectus Supplement, or to be filed as exhibits or schedules to the Registration Statement, that have not been described or filed as required.

 

(C)                                The Company has delivered, or will as promptly as practicable deliver, to the Placement Agent complete conformed copies of the Registration Statement and of each consent and certificate of experts, as applicable, filed as a part thereof, and conformed copies of the Registration Statement (without exhibits), the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, in such quantities and at such places as the Placement Agent reasonably requests.

SECTION 3.                                REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

Except as set forth under the corresponding section of the Disclosure Schedules, which shall be deemed a part hereof, the Company hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth below to the Placement Agent.

 

(A)                              Organization and Qualification.  All of the direct and indirect subsidiaries (individually, a “Subsidiary”) of the Company are set forth on Schedule 3(A).  The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any “Liens” (which, for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean a lien, charge, security interest, encumbrance, right of first refusal, preemptive right or other restriction), and all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.  Each of the Company and each Subsidiary is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation or default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents.  Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform, in any material respect and on a timely basis, its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”, and no “Proceeding” (which, for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding (including, without limitation, an investigation or partial proceeding, such as a deposition), whether commenced or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened) has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such power and authority or qualification.

 

(B)                                Authorization; Enforcement.  The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.  The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company, and no further action is required by the Company, its board of directors or its stockholders in connection therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals (as defined in subsection 3(D) below).  Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(C)                                No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Shares and Warrants and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, or conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or

lapse of time or both would become a default) under, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected, except, in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(D)                               Filings, Consents and Approvals.  The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other individual, corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind, including, without limitation, any Trading Market (as defined below) (collectively, “Persons”) in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, other than such filings as are required to be made under applicable federal and state securities laws (collectively, the “Required Approvals”).

 

(E)                                 Issuance of the Securities; Registration.  The Shares and Warrants are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable Transaction Documents (i) the Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company and (ii) the Warrants will be duly and validly issued, 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 the Transaction Documents.  The issuance by the Company of the Securities has been registered under the Securities Act and all of the Securities, when issued in accordance with the Transaction Documents and the plan of distribution described in the Registration Statement, Base Prospectus and Time of Sale Prospectus, will be freely transferable and tradable by the Purchasers without restriction (other than any restrictions arising solely from an act or omission of a Purchaser).  The Registration Statement is effective and available for the issuance of the Securities thereunder, and the Company has not received any notice that the Commission has issued or intends to issue a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement or that the Commission otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened in writing to do so.  The “Plan of Distribution” section under the Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented by a post-effective amendment thereto or by the Base Prospectus and Time of Sale Prospectus, permits the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereunder.  Upon issuance of the Securities on the terms set forth in the purchase agreement between the Company and the Purchasers, the Purchasers will have good and marketable title to such Securities and the Shares will be listed and authorized for trading on the “Trading Market” (which, for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the Nasdaq Capital Market, the NYSE Amex, the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or the OTC Bulletin Board).

 

(F)                                 Capitalization.  The capitalization of the Company is as set forth on Schedule 3(F).  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 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 plan and pursuant to the conversion or exercise of securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible into Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”).  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.

(A)                              No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the Commission, and any request for additional information on the part of the Commission (to be included in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement or otherwise) shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Placement Agent.

(H)                               No action shall have been taken, and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any governmental agency or body, that would, as of the Closing Date, prevent the issuance or sale of the Shares and Warrants or materially and adversely affect or potentially materially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company; and no injunction, restraining order or order of any other nature by any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction shall have been issued as of the Closing Date that would prevent the issuance or sale of the Shares and Warrants or materially and adversely affect or potentially materially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company.

ADDENDUM A

 

INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS

 

In connection with the engagement of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC (“▇▇▇▇▇▇”), by PharmAthene, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to a letter agreement dated March 23, 2009, between the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as it may be amended from time to time in writing (the “Agreement”), the Company hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.               To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees and controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (each an “indemnified party”) 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 the Agreement, 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ willful misconduct or gross negligence in performing the services described herein.

 

2.               Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which the Indemnified party is entitled to indemnity hereunder, the indemnified party will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, and the Company will assume the defense of such action or proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the indemnified party will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Company and from any other party in such action if counsel for the indemnified party reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and such indemnified party.  In such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than one such separate counsel will be paid by the Company.  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 the indemnified party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

3.               The Company agrees to notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 the Agreement.

 

4.               If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold the indemnified party harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party 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 the indemnified party, on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, 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

 

▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ · Tel: ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Fax: ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇

claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ share of the liability hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount of fees actually received, or to be received, by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ under the Agreement (excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇).

 

5.               These Indemnification Provisions shall remain in full force and effect whether or not the transaction contemplated by the Agreement is completed, shall survive the termination of the Agreement and shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to any indemnified party under the Agreement or otherwise.
