Warrant To Purchase 8% Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

Warrant No.: PS-B-1
Number of Shares of 8% Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock:  350
Date of Issuance: January 14, 2011 (“Issuance Date”)

Celsion Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Dominick & Dominick LLC, the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase 8% Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase 8% Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the date six (6) months after the Issuance Date (the “Exercisability Date”), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), Three Hundred Fifty (350) fully paid nonassessable shares of Preferred Stock (as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”).  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16.
 
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
 
(a) Mechanics of Exercise.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Exercisability Date, in whole or in part, by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant.  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, but shall deliver the original Warrant within five (5) days thereafter.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.  On or before the first (1st) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder.  On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Preferred Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.  Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be.  If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.  No fractional shares of Preferred Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
 
(b) Exercise Price.  For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $1,000, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
 
(c) Payment of Exercise Price.  The Company shall promptly, and in no case later than the Business Day immediately following such receipt, confirm receipt of an Exercise Notice via facsimile to the number specified in such Exercise Notice.  Within two (2) Trading Days of the date of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall make payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
 
(d) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Registration Statement covering the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”), or an exemption from registration, is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares as of the date the Company receives an Exercise Notice with respect to such Unavailable Warrant Shares, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (d) above, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
 
 
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
 
 
X = the Net Number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
   
 
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Unavailable Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
   
 
A = the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
   
 
B = the conversion price of the Preferred Stock set forth in the Certificate of Designation therefore.

 
Any such cashless exercise of Preferred Stock shall be deemed a simultaneous exercise of the Unavailable Warrant Shares and conversion to Common Stock of the Warrant Shares.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Registration Statement is available at the time this Warrant is exercised, the Holder shall have no rights under this paragraph (e) to cashless exercise and the Warrant shall only be exercisable for the Exercise Price payable in cash.
 
(e) Rule 144.  For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date hereof, it is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued.
 
(f) Disputes.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed.
 
2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES.  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
 
 (a)      Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) the Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) the Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 2(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
(b) Other Events.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.
 
3. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
 
(a) Purchase Rights.  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Preferred Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Preferred Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Preferred Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
 
(b) In connection with any Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall make appropriate provision so that this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for shares of the Successor Entity based upon the conversion ratio or other consideration payable in the Fundamental Transaction. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.
 
In the event that any person becomes a Parent Entity of the Company, such person shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such person had been named as the Company herein.
 
4. NONCIRCUMVENTION.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Preferred Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Preferred Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as this Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, 100% of the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
 
5. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.  In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
