COMMON

FOR

(“Warrantholder”),
is
entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from NOVELOS
THERAPEUTICS, INC. a Delaware corporation (“Corporation”),
at
any time not later than 5:00 P.M., Eastern time, on [___________], 2012 (the
“Expiration
Date”),
at an
exercise price per share equal to $1.25 (the exercise price in effect being
herein called the “Warrant
Price”),
[______________]
shares
(“Warrant
Shares”)
of the
Corporation’s Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per
share
(“Common
Stock”).
The
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the
Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as described
herein. This Warrant has been issued pursuant to a certain Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of April 12, 2007, by and among the Corporation and the
Investors signatory thereto (as amended on May 2, 2007, the “Purchase
Agreement”).
All
capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Purchase Agreement.
Section
1. Registration.
The
Corporation shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of the
Warrant. Upon the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Corporation shall issue
and register the Warrant in the name of the Warrantholder.
Section
2. Transfers.
As
provided herein, this Warrant may be transferred only pursuant to a registration
statement filed under the Securities Act, or an exemption from such
registration. Subject to such restrictions, the Corporation shall transfer
this
Warrant from time to time upon the books to be maintained by the Corporation
for
that purpose, upon surrender thereof for transfer properly endorsed or
accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer and such other documents
as
may be reasonably required by the Corporation, including, if required by the
Corporation, an opinion of its counsel to the effect that such transfer is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to establish
that such transfer is being made in accordance with the terms hereof, and a
new
Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall
be
canceled by the Corporation.
Section
3. Exercise
of Warrant.
(a) Subject
to the provisions hereof, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in whole
or in part at any time prior to its expiration upon surrender of the Warrant,
together with delivery of the duly executed Warrant exercise form attached
hereto as Appendix
A
(the
“Exercise
Agreement”)
and
payment by cash, certified check or wire transfer of funds for the aggregate
Warrant Price for that number of Warrant Shares then being purchased, to the
Corporation during normal business hours on any Business Day at the
Corporation’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the
Corporation as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof). The Warrant
Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such
holder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of
business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered (or
evidence of loss, theft or destruction thereof and security or indemnity
satisfactory to the Corporation), the Warrant Price shall have been paid and
the
completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered. Certificates for the
Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares
specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof
within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Business Day, after this
Warrant shall have been so exercised. When the Corporation is required to
deliver certificates upon exercise, if certificates are not delivered to the
Warrantholder within such three (3) Business Days, the Corporation shall be
liable to the Warrantholder for liquidated damages equal to 1.5% of the
aggregate Warrant Price for each 30-day period (or portion thereof) beyond
such
three (3) Business Day-period that the certificates have not been so delivered.
The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested
by the holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or
such
other name as shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have
been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the
Corporation shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates,
deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with
respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
(b) (I)
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall a Warrantholder be entitled
to exercise any portion of this Warrant so held by such Warrantholder in excess
of that portion upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares
of
Common Stock beneficially owned by such Warrantholder and its Affiliates (other
than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through
ownership of the unexercised shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant
or
the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the holder
subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained
herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
of that portion of the Warrant with respect to which the determination of this
proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by such
Warrantholder and its Affiliates of any amount greater than 4.99% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether or not, at the time of such
conversion, the Warrantholder and its Affiliates beneficially own more than
4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock). The waiver by a
Warrantholder of any limitation contained in a warrant or convertible security
now or hereafter held by such holder that is similar or analogous to the
limitations set forth in this Section 3(b)(I) shall not be deemed a waiver
or
otherwise effect the limitation set forth in this Section 3(b)(I), unless such
waiver expressly states it is a waiver of the provisions of this Section
3(b)(I). For purposes of this Section 3(b)(I), beneficial ownership shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of
1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided
in clause (1) of such proviso. Any Warrantholder may waive the limitations
set
forth herein by sixty-one (61) days written notice to the Corporation. The
foregoing shall not affect the Company’s right to redeem the Warrant pursuant to
Section 19.
(II)
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall a Warrantholder be entitled
to exercise any portion of this Warrant so held by such Warrantholder in excess
of that portion upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares
of
Common Stock beneficially owned by such Warrantholder and its Affiliates (other
than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through
ownership of the unexercised shares of Common Stock or the unexercised or
unconverted portion of any other security of the holder subject to a limitation
on exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number
of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of that portion of the Warrant
with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would
result in beneficial ownership by such Warrantholder and its Affiliates of
any
amount greater than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock
(whether or not, at the time of such conversion, the Warrantholder and its
Affiliates beneficially own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares
of
Common Stock). The waiver by a Warrantholder of any limitation contained in
a
warrant or convertible security now or hereafter held by such holder that is
similar or analogous to the limitations set forth in this Section 3(b)(II)
shall
not be deemed a waiver or otherwise effect the limitation set forth in this
Section 3(b)(II), unless such waiver expressly states it is a waiver of the
provisions of this Section 3(b)(II). For purposes of this Section 3(b)(II),
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder,
except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. Any Warrantholder
may waive the limitations set forth herein by sixty-one (61) days written notice
to the Corporation. The foregoing shall not affect the Company’s right to redeem
the Warrant pursuant to Section 19.
Section
4. Compliance
with the Securities Act of 1933.
The
Corporation may cause the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant
to
be set forth on each Warrant or similar legend on any security issued or
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, unless counsel for the Corporation
is of
the opinion as to any such security that such legend is
unnecessary.
Section
5. Payment
of Taxes.
The
Corporation will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial
issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant;
provided,
however,
that
the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of
any
certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered
holder of this Warrant in respect of which such shares are issued, and in such
case, the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate
for Warrant Shares or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has
paid
to the Corporation the amount of such tax or has established to the
Corporation’s reasonable satisfaction that such tax has been paid. The holder
shall be responsible for income taxes due under federal, state or other law,
if
any such tax is due.
Section
6. Mutilated
or Missing Warrants.
In case
this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Corporation
shall issue in exchange and substitution of and upon cancellation of the
mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen
or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and for the purchase of a like number
of Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to
the Corporation of such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with
respect to a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond
with respect thereto, if requested by the Corporation.
Section
7. Reservation
of Common Stock.
The
Corporation hereby represents and warrants that there have been reserved, and
the Corporation shall at all applicable times keep reserved until issued (if
necessary) as contemplated by this Section 7, out of the authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock, 125% (which percentage shall be decreased to 100% in
the
event the Company’s shareholders do no approve an amendment to the Company’s
certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock to 150,000,000) of the number of shares issuable upon exercise
of
the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant. The Corporation agrees
that
all Warrant Shares issued upon due exercise of the Warrant shall be, at the
time
of delivery of the certificates for such Warrant Shares, duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation.
Section
8. Adjustments.
Subject
and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the Warrant Price and number
of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as set forth hereinafter.
(a) If
the
Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is
outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares
of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares
of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Corporation is the continuing corporation), then the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective,
shall be adjusted by the Corporation so that the Warrantholder thereafter
exercising the Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of
Common Stock or other capital stock which the Warrantholder would have received
if the Warrant had been fully exercised immediately prior to such event upon
payment of a Warrant Price that has been adjusted to reflect a fair allocation
of the economics of such event to the Warrantholder. Such adjustments shall
be
made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) If
any
capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the
Corporation, consolidation or merger of the Corporation with another corporation
in which the Corporation is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another
corporation shall be effected, then, the Corporation shall use its best efforts
to ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each
Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon
the
basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the
Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant,
such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or
payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal
to
the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise
of
the Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or other disposition not taken place, and in any such case
appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests
of
each Warrantholder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without
limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter
be
applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares
of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof.
The Corporation shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer
or other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation
thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting
from
such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise
acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume
the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrant, at the last address
of
such holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, such shares of stock,
securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such
holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this
Warrant. The provisions of this Section 8(b) shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers
or
other dispositions.
(c) In
case
the Corporation shall fix a payment date for the making of a distribution to
all
holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection
with
a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing
corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than cash dividends
or cash distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus
or
dividends or distributions referred to in Section 8(a)), or subscription rights
or warrants, the Company shall provide notice to the Warrantholder at least
10
days in advance of the fixing of such payment date and the Warrantholder may
elect to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part prior to such payment date
in
accordance with Section 3 hereof.
(d) For
the
term of this Warrant, in addition to the provisions contained above, the Warrant
Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided below. An adjustment to the
Warrant Price shall become effective immediately after the payment date in
the
case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date
of each other event which requires an adjustment.
(e) In
the
event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8, the
holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital
stock of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, the number of such
other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject
thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares
contained in this Warrant.
Section
9. Fractional
Interest.
The
Corporation shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon
the
exercise of this Warrant. If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except
for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 9, be deliverable
upon
such exercise, the Corporation, in lieu of delivering such fractional share,
shall pay to the exercising holder of this Warrant an amount in cash equal
to
the Market Price of such fractional share of Common Stock on the date of
exercise.
Section
10. [Reserved].
Section
11. Benefits.
Nothing
in this Warrant shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation
(other than the Corporation and the Warrantholder) any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim, it being agreed that this Warrant shall be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Corporation and the Warrantholder.
Section
12. Notices
to Warrantholder.
Upon
the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price, the
Corporation shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Warrantholder
at
the address appearing in the records of the Corporation, stating the adjusted
Warrant Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares resulting from such
event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and
the
facts upon which such calculation is based. Failure to give such notice to
the
Warrantholder or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity
of
the subject adjustment.
Section
13. Identity
of Transfer Agent.
The
Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company. Upon the appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Common
Stock or other shares of the Corporation’s capital stock issuable upon the
exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrant, the Corporation
will mail to the Warrantholder a statement setting forth the name and address
of
such transfer agent.
Section
14. Notices.
Unless
otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under this Warrant shall
be
given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given as hereinafter described
(i) if given by personal delivery, then such notice shall be deemed given upon
such delivery, (ii) if given by telex or facsimile, then such notice shall
be
deemed given upon receipt of confirmation of complete transmittal, (iii) if
given by mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (A)
receipt of such notice by the recipient or (B) three days after such notice
is
deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid, and (iv) if given by an
internationally recognized overnight air courier, then such notice shall be
deemed given one day after delivery to such carrier. All notices shall be

in
the Corporation’s books and records and, if to the Corporation, at the address
as follows, or at such other address as the Warrantholder or the Corporation

registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon

Section

All the
covenants and provisions hereof by or for the benefit of the Warrantholder
shall
bind and inure to the benefit of its respective successors and assigns
hereunder.
Section
17. Governing
Law.
This
Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal
laws of the State of New York, without reference to the choice of law provisions
thereof. The Corporation and, by accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder,
each
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State
of
New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for
the
Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding
or
judgment relating to or arising out of this Warrant and the transactions
contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action

same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Warrant.
The
Corporation and, by accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder, each irrevocably
consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or
proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. The Corporation and, by
accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder, each irrevocably waives any objection
to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such
courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
THE CORPORATION AND THE WARRANTHOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF
THIS WARRANT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Section
18. No
Rights as Shareholder.
Prior
to the exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall not have or exercise
any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation by virtue of its ownership of
this Warrant.
Section
19. Cashless
Exercise.
If, at
any time after the one year anniversary of the Original Issue Date, there is
no
effective registration statement covering the Warrant Shares filed under the
Securities Act as a result of a breach of the Corporation’s obligations under
the Registration Right Agreement, the Warrantholder may elect to receive,
without the payment by the Warrantholder of the aggregate Warrant Price in
respect of the shares of Common Stock to be acquired upon exercise hereof,
shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof
being exercised pursuant to this Section 19 by the surrender of this Warrant
(or
such portion of this Warrant being so exercised) together with the Net Issue
Election Notice annexed hereto as Appendix
B
duly
executed, at the office of the Corporation. Thereupon, and in no event later
than three (3) Business Days after the Corporation’s receipt of the Net Issue
Election Notice, the Corporation shall issue to the Warrantholder certificate(s)
for such number of fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock as is computed using the formula immediately below. The certificates
so
delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the holder
hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such other name
as
shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised
only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Corporation shall,
at
its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder
a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
X
=
Y
(A -
B)
A
where
X
= the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrantholder upon exercise
of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 19;
Y
= the
total
number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant which the Warrantholder
has surrendered at such time for cashless exercise (including both shares to
be
issued to the Warrantholder and shares to be canceled as payment
therefor);
A
= the
Market Price of one share of Common Stock as at the time the net issue election
is made; and
B
= the
Warrant Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election
is
made.
The
Warrant Shares issued pursuant to this Section 19 shall be deemed to be issued
to the exercising holder or such holder’s designee, as the record owner of such
shares, as of the close of business on the date on which the Net Issue Election
Notice shall have been surrendered (or evidence of loss, theft or destruction
thereof and security or indemnity satisfactory to the Corporation) to the
Corporation.
“Market
Price”
as
of a
particular date (the “Valuation
Date”)
shall
mean the following: (a)
if
the Common Stock is then listed on a national stock exchange, the Market Price
shall be the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on such exchange
on
the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date, provided that if such stock
has not traded in the prior ten (10) trading sessions, the Market Price shall
be
the average closing price of one share of Common Stock in the most recent ten
(10) trading sessions during which the Common Stock has traded; (b) if the
Common Stock is then included in the OTC Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”),
the
Market Price shall be the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on
the
OTCBB on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date or, if no such closing
sale price is available, the average of the high bid and the low ask price
quoted on the OTCBB as of the end of the last trading day prior to the Valuation
Date, provided that if such stock has not traded in the prior ten (10) trading
sessions, the Market Price shall be the average closing price of one share
of
Common Stock in the most recent ten (10) trading sessions during which the
Common Stock has traded, (c) if the Common Stock is then included in the “pink
sheets,” the Market Price shall be the closing sale price of one share of Common
Stock on the “pink sheets” on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date
or, if no such closing sale price is available, the average of the high bid
and
the low ask price quoted on the “pink sheets” as of the end of the last trading
day prior to the Valuation Date, provided that if such stock has not traded
in
the prior ten (10) trading sessions, the Market Price shall be the average
closing price of one share of Common Stock in the most recent ten (10) trading
sessions during which the Common Stock has traded. The
Board
of Directors of the Corporation shall respond promptly, in writing, to an
inquiry by the Warrantholder prior to the exercise hereunder as to the Market
Price of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of
the
Corporation.
Section
20. Redemption.
If
the
Registration Statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares underlying
all
of the Warrants is declared effective by the SEC, and is then effective,
and
the
daily VWAP of the Common Stock for twenty (20) consecutive trading days exceeds
$2.25 per share, Warrantholders shall have up to thirty (30) days to exercise
this Warrant in accordance with Section 3 at an exercise price $1.25 per Warrant
Share. On and after the thirty-first day, any remaining Warrants shall no longer
be exercisable and shall be converted into a right to receive $.01 per share
for
the number of shares for which the Warrant had been exercisable at the end
of
the thirtieth day.
Section
21. Amendments.
This
Warrant shall not be amended without the prior written consent of the
Corporation and the Requisite Holders; provided,
that
(x) any such amendment or waiver must apply to all Warrants; and (y) the number
of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant, the Warrant Price and the Expiration
Date may not be amended, and the right to exercise this Warrant may not be
altered or waived, without the prior written consent of the
Warrantholder.
Section
22. Section
Headings.
The
section headings in this Warrant are for the convenience of the Corporation
and
the Warrantholder and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit or restrict the
provisions hereof.
Section
23. Certain
Definitions.
When used herein, the following terms shall have the respective meanings
indicated:
“Principal
Market”
means,
as of the Original Issuance Date the OTCBB.
“Trading
Day”
means
any day on which the Common Stock is purchased and sold on the Principal
Market.
“VWAP”
on
a
Trading Day means the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for
such
Trading Day on the Principal Market as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets
or, if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting such prices, by a
comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the
Warrantholders and reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation. If VWAP
cannot be calculated for the Common Stock on such Trading Day on any of the
foregoing bases, then the Corporation shall submit such calculation to an
independent investment banking firm of national reputation reasonably acceptable
to the Warrantholders, and shall cause such investment banking firm to perform
such determination and notify the Corporation and the Warrantholders of the
results of determination no later than two (2) Business Days from the time
such
calculation was submitted to it by the Corporation. All such
determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock
split or other similar transaction during such period.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Warrant to be duly executed,
as
of the 2nd day of May, 2007.
