CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
 
May 1, 2011
 
$____________
Palo Alto, California
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Amarantus Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) promises to pay to Molecular Medicine Research Institute and Clinical Center (the “Investor”), or its registered assigns, in lawful money of the United States of America the principal sum of $________, or such lesser amount as shall equal the outstanding principal amount hereof, together with simple interest from the date of this Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to 5.00% per annum.  This Note is one of the “Notes” issued pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated May __, 2011 (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “Note Purchase Agreement”).  Outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable on demand by a Majority in Interest of the Investors made after May __, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.
 
The following is a statement of the rights of the Investor and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Investor, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:
 
1. Repayment.  The Investor may elect to be repaid the entire sum of this Note, including interest, only at the time of the Next Equity Financing. The Company will notify the Investor at such a time and accept instructions with respect to Investor’s desire to be repaid or to convert Note and Interest into shares of the Company at the terms stated below.
 
 
 

 
 
2. Conversion.
 
(a) Conversion.
 
(i) Conversion at the Investor’s option at Next Equity Financing. At the Investor’s option at the time of closing of the Next Equity Financing, the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest on this Note shall convert into shares of the Company’s equity securities at the closing of the Company’s next equity financing in which gross aggregate proceeds to the company exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Next Equity Financing”), including this Note and all other Notes which are converted into Preferred Stock; provided that the sale of the Company’s Common Stock to its employees, directors, and consultants, or the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise or conversion of securities outstanding prior to the date hereof shall not constitute a Next Equity Financing.  The number of shares of such equity securities to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest due on this Note on the date of conversion, by (b) the price per share of the equity securities sold to the investors in the Next Equity Financing.  The issuance of such shares upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2(a)(i) shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Next Equity Financing.  Investor agrees to execute all necessary documents in connection with the conversion of this Note and the Next Equity Financing, including, but not limited to, a definitive stock purchase agreement.
 
(ii) Conversion at Company’s Option. At any time after the Maturity Date, in the event that the Next Equity Financing has not yet occurred, the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest on this Note shall, at the Company’s option, be converted into shares of a new class of equity securities designated “Series A Preferred Stock.” The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest due on this Note on the date of conversion, by (b) the price per share of the Series A Preferred Stock, such price per share to be calculated based on a “pre-money” valuation for the Company at such time of $2,000,000.  The issuance of Series A Preferred Stock upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2(a)(ii) shall be upon terms and conditions that are normal and customary for similar transactions of this nature.  Investor agrees to execute all necessary documents in connection with such conversion of this Note, including, but not limited to, a definitive stock purchase agreement.
 
(b) Mechanics of Conversion.  The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Investor presents the Note for conversion under Section 2(a), issue and deliver at such office to Investor a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which Investor shall be entitled upon conversion (bearing such legends as are required by the common stock purchase agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement and applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to the Company), together with a replacement Note (if any principal amount is not converted) and any other securities and property to which Investor is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to Investor for any cash amounts payable as described in Section 2(c).  The conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of this Note, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record Investor or Investors of such shares of Common Stock as of such date.
 
 
-2-

 
(l) Fractional Shares; Interest; Effect of Conversion.  No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.  In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Investor an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the conversion price by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence.  Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of any amounts specified in this Section 2(c), the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note
 
3. Waiver and Amendment.  Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of Company and a Majority in Interest of the Investors.
 
4. Notices.  All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall in writing and faxed, mailed or delivered to each party at the respective addresses of the parties as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, or at such other address or facsimile number as Company shall have furnished to Investor in writing.  All such notices and communications shall be effective (a) when sent by Federal Express or other overnight service of recognized standing, on the business day following the deposit with such service; (b) when mailed, by registered or certified mail, first class postage prepaid and addressed as aforesaid through the United States Postal Service, upon receipt; (c) when delivered by hand, upon delivery; and (d) when faxed, upon confirmation of receipt.
 
5. Pari Passu Notes.  Investor acknowledges and agrees that the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all interest hereon shall be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other Notes issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement or pursuant to the terms of such Notes.
 
6. Usury.  In the event any interest is paid on this Note is deemed to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of this Note.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES
 
May 1, 2011
 
Void after
May 1, 2018
 
This Warrant is issued to Molecular Medicine Research Institute and Clinical Center by Amarantus Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated May 1, 2011 (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “Note Purchase Agreement”) in connection with the Company’s issuance to the initial holder of this Warrant of a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the initial principal sum of $4,250.00.
 
1. Purchase of Shares.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, the holder of this Warrant is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company up to the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s capital stock (as more fully described below, the “Shares”), that equals the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Warrant Coverage Amount by (b) the Exercise Price.
 
 
 

 
 
2. Definitions.
 
(a) Exercise Price.  The exercise price for the Shares shall be the price per share of equity securities sold to investors in the Company’s Next Equity Financing (as defined in the Note).  Such price shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 hereof (such price, as adjusted from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Exercise Price”).
 
(b) Exercise Period.  This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the closing date of the Next Equity Financing and ending on the earlier of (i) the seven year anniversary of the date hereof, (ii) the closing of the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock of the Company in the Company’s first underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (iii) the closing of a Change of Control (as defined below) transaction.
 
(c) Warrant Coverage Amount.  The term “Warrant Coverage Amount” means that amount which equals 20% of the principal amount of the Note.
 
(d) Shares.  The term “Shares” means the class and series of capital stock issued to investors in the Next Equity Financing.  The number of Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable is subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 7 and 8 hereof.
 
(e) Change of Control.  The term “Change in Control” means (a) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation), (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the material assets of the Company (including, for purposes of this Section 2, intellectual property rights which, in the aggregate, constitute substantially all of the corporation’s material assets), or (c) the acquisition by the Company of any other entity by means of any transaction (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation).  Change of Control does not, however, include (i) any transaction in which the stockholders of the Company prior to the transaction hold more than 5% of the voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity immediately after the transaction or (ii) the sale of the Company’s equity securities in a preferred stock financing.
 
3. Method of Exercise.  While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby.  Such exercise shall be effected by:
 
(a) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and
 
(b) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

4. Net Exercise.  In lieu of cash exercising this Warrant, the holder of this Warrant may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder hereof a number of Shares computed using the following formula:
 
 
Y (A - B)
X =
A
 
Where
 
X   =           The number of Shares to be issued to the holder of this Warrant.
 
Y   =           The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant.
 
A   =           The fair market value of one Share.
 
B   =           The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).
 
For purposes of this Section 4, the fair market value of a Share shall be the price per Share that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for the Shares sold by the Company from authorized but unissued Shares, as such prices shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
 
5. Certificates for Shares.  Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased (bearing such legends as are required by the subscription agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Warrant, and applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to the Company) shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the delivery of a subscription notice.
 
6. Issuance of Shares.  The Company covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Shares, when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
 
7. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.  The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances.  If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its capital stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its capital stock, or issue additional shares of its capital stock as a dividend, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination.  Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same.  Any adjustment under this Section 7(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation.  In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 7(a) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization, or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the holder of this Warrant, so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of Shares as were purchasable by the holder of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change.  In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.
 
(c) Notice of Adjustment.  When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of such event and of the number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.
 
8. No Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.
 
9. No Stockholder Rights.  Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of shareholder meetings, and such holder shall not be entitled to any notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company.
 
10. Amendments and Waivers.  Any term of this Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority of the Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement that are then outstanding.  Any waiver or amendment effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each holder of a Warrant, each holder of any Shares purchased under a Warrant at the time outstanding (including securities into which such Shares have been converted), each future holder of all such Shares, and the Company.  THE HOLDER OF THIS WARRANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BY THE OPERATION OF SECTION 10 HEREOF, THE HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF SHARES ISSUED OR ISSUABLE UNDER THE WARRANTS ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT THAT ARE THEN OUTSTANDING WILL HAVE THE RIGHT AND POWER TO DIMINISH OR ELIMINATE ALL RIGHTS OF SUCH HOLDER UNDER THIS WARRANT OR UNDER THE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

11. Warrants Transferable.  Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section 11, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed or accompanied by written instructions of transfer.  With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such Warrant or Shares, the holder hereof agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such holder’s counsel, or other evidence, if requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Securities Act as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or the Shares and indicating whether or not under the Securities Act certificates for this Warrant or the Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law.  Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion or other evidence, if so requested, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify such holder that such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or such Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company.  If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 11 that the opinion of counsel for the holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the holder promptly with details thereof after such determination has been made.  Each certificate representing this Warrant or the Shares transferred in accordance with this Section 11 shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the holder, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws.  The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
 
12. Governing Law.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of California, or of any other state.
