WHEREAS, BioSante and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 29, 2009 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into BioSante and BioSante will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the consummation of the Merger (the effective time of the consummation of the Merger, herein the “Effective Time”) will be converted into the right to receive 0.1828 of a share of common stock of BioSante;
WHEREAS, Section 5.1 of the Indenture provides that the Company shall not merge with another corporation unless certain conditions specified therein are satisfied, including, inter alia, that any resulting successor corporation be organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental to the Indenture, all of the obligations of the Company under the Securities and the Indenture;
WHEREAS, Section 9.4 of the Indenture provides, inter alia, that if there occurs a merger of the Company with another person, as a result of which holders of the Company’s common stock shall receive stock or other property in exchange for such Company common stock, then the Company, or the successor corporation, and the Trustee shall execute a supplemental indenture providing that the Securities shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other property which the Holder of such Securities would have been entitled to receive upon such merger had such Securities been converted into common stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger;

WHEREAS, BioSante and the Trustee desire to execute a supplemental indenture that complies with Section 8.1 of the Indenture and implements the provisions of Sections 5.1 and 9.4 referenced above;
WHEREAS, all acts and things necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid and binding agreement for the purposes and objects herein expressed have been duly done and performed, and the execution of this Supplemental Indenture has been in all respects, duly authorized; and

If the Stock Price and Effective Date are not set forth on the table above and the Stock Price is:
(A) between two Stock Prices on the table or the Effective Date is between two dates on the table, the number of shares of Additional Common Stock will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of shares of Additional Common Stock set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price and the two Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 360-day year;
(B) in excess of $9.63 per share (subject to adjustment), no shares of Additional Common Stock will be issued upon conversion; or
(C) less than $3.23 per share (subject to adjustment), no shares of Additional Common Stock will be issued upon conversion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion exceed 312.18 per $1,000 of aggregate principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Price in Section 9.3.”
3
(c) Section 9.3(m) of the Indenture is hereby amended by replacing the reference to “$0.59” with “$3.23”.
ARTICLE II
ASSUMPTION OF INDENTURE AND SECURITIES
As of the Effective Time, concurrently with the Merger, BioSante does hereby assume the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable on the Securities, according to their terms, and subject to Article III below, the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Securities and the Indenture to be performed by the Company. As of the Effective Time, concurrently with the Merger, BioSante shall succeed to, and be substituted for and may exercise rights and powers of, the Company under the Indenture with the same effect as if BioSante had been initially named as the Company therein.
ARTICLE III
CONVERSION RIGHTS
Subject to and in accordance with Section 9.4 of the Indenture, the Holder of any Securities outstanding as of the Effective Time shall have the right to convert such Securities into the number of shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of BioSante which such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the Merger had such Securities been converted into common stock of the Company immediately prior to the Merger (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall equal 268.8172 shares of common stock of BioSante per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities at a Conversion Price of $3.72).
ARTICLE IV
CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS
This Supplemental Indenture shall become effective concurrently with the consummation of the Merger and delivery to the Trustee by BioSante of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as required by Section 5.1(c) of the Indenture.

BioSante will promptly notify the Trustee of the consummation of the Merger and the effectiveness of this Supplemental Indenture.

Reference is hereby made to the Supplemental Indenture, copies of which are on file with BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for a statement of the amendments therein made.
Nothing contained in this Supplemental Indenture shall require the holder of any Securities to submit or exchange such Security prior to the consummation of the Merger in order to obtain the benefits of any provisions hereunder.
BioSante hereby agrees to provide for the reproduction of the above legend on the Securities without materially obscuring the text of the Securities.
