Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amorcyte, Inc. Merger Agreement

On July 13, 2011, NeoStem, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NeoStem” or the “Company”) and Amorcyte, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Amorcyte”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as such agreement may be amended from time to time, the “Amorcyte Merger Agreement”), among NeoStem, Amorcyte, Amo Acquisition Company I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Subco”), and Amo Acquisition Company II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Subco II”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Amorcyte Merger Agreement, Subco (a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem) will be merged with and into Amorcyte (the “Amorcyte Merger” or the “Amorcyte Acquisition”), with Amorcyte surviving the Amorcyte Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem. Within ninety (90) days after the effective time (the “Effective Time”) of the Amorcyte Merger, Amorcyte will be merged with and into Subco II, another newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem. Subco II, in its capacity as the wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem surviving the transactions contemplated by the Amorcyte Merger Agreement, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Company”.

Amorcyte was initially formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC (“PCT”). Amorcyte was spun off to PCT’s members during 2005. PCT, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem, was acquired by NeoStem on January 19, 2011.

Aggregate Consideration

Pursuant to the terms of the Amorcyte Merger Agreement, all of the shares of Amorcyte common stock and Amorcyte Series A Preferred Stock, all options and warrants to acquire equity of Amorcyte, and any debt obligations issued by Amorcyte that are convertible into Amorcyte Series A Preferred Stock (to the extent not already converted, being treated as if it were actually converted), in each case, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will, by virtue of the Amorcyte Merger, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate:

(i)

6,821,283 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of NeoStem (“NeoStem Common Stock”) (subject to adjustment as described below) (the “Base Stock Consideration”);

(ii)

the right to receive 4,092,768 shares of NeoStem Common Stock (the “Contingent Shares”, and together with the Base Stock Consideration, the “Stock Consideration”), which Contingent Shares will only be issued only if certain specified business milestones (described below) are accomplished;

(iii)

common stock purchase warrants to purchase 1,881,008 shares of NeoStem Common Stock exercisable over a seven (7) year period at an exercise price of $1.466 per share (the “Warrants”) (the terms of such Warrants to provide that the transfer of any shares of NeoStem Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants will be restricted until one year after the closing date); and

(iv)

the earn out payments described below (the “Earn Out Payments”).

Pursuant to the Amorcyte Merger Agreement, prior to closing all Amorcyte options and warrants will be modified in writings executed by each optionholder and warrantholder, so that effective upon the Effective Time, all Amorcyte options and warrants will, by virtue of the Amorcyte Merger, be converted into the right to receive the share of any Earn Out Payments that the holders of such options and warrants would have received if they had exercised their Amorcyte options and/or warrants, as applicable, prior to the Effective Time (after taking into account the payment of any exercise price due had they actually exercised). The holders of Amorcyte options and warrants will be entitled to the merger consideration similar to the holders of Amorcyte common stock, minus the exercise price of the options and warrants.

Adjustment to Base Stock Consideration

The Base Stock Consideration is subject to adjustment, provided that in no event will NeoStem be required to issue as Base Stock Consideration more than 6,821,283 shares of NeoStem Common Stock. The Amorcyte Merger Agreement provides that to the extent the amount of Amorcyte’s liabilities (as defined and calculated in the manner described in the Amorcyte Merger Agreement) on the closing date are more than $478,000 (the “Target Liabilities”), the Base Stock Consideration will be decreased by two times (2x) the amount by which Amorcyte’s liabilities are greater than the Target Liabilities. Any such decrease will reduce the Base Stock Consideration by two dollars for every dollar by which Amorcyte’s liabilities are greater than the Target Liabilities, with each share of the Base Stock Consideration valued at $1.466 (the average of the closing prices of sales of NeoStem Common Stock on the NYSE-Amex for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of execution of the Amorcyte Merger Agreement) (the “Parent Per Share Value”).

Escrow Agreement

The Amorcyte Merger Agreement provides that the Base Stock Consideration will be placed in escrow (the “Escrow Account”) pursuant to an escrow agreement to be executed at closing, for the purpose of paying any damages payable to NeoStem in accordance with the indemnification provisions contained in the Amorcyte Merger Agreement. The escrow agent shall initially be NeoStem’s transfer agent (the “Escrow Agent”). The Escrow Account will continue from the closing until that date (the “Termination Date”) which is two (2) years and one day after the closing (the “Escrow Period”). Six months after the closing date, an aggregate of up to 20% of the shares of NeoStem Common Stock may be released from the Escrow Account and distributed to the Amorcyte Representative (as defined below) for distribution to Amorcyte’s former stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders (collectively, the “Amorcyte Securityholders”) in accordance with their proportional interests; provided, however, that NeoStem will not be required to release from escrow any shares of NeoStem Common Stock then being held with respect to pending claims by NeoStem. As soon as practicable after the one (1) year anniversary of the closing date (the “One-Year Release Date”), NeoStem will direct the Escrow Agent to release and distribute to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to the former Amorcyte Securityholders in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement all shares of NeoStem Common Stock then remaining in the Escrow Account except as follows: If no indemnification claims have been asserted by NeoStem prior to the One-Year Release Date, then NeoStem Common Stock with a Parent Per Share Value of $1,250,000 shall remain in the Escrow Account until the Termination Date. If any indemnification claims have been asserted by NeoStem prior to the One-Year Release Date, then NeoStem Common Stock with a Parent Per Share Value equal to the sum of (i) $2,500,000 plus (ii) the amount of any then pending indemnification claims shall remain in the Escrow Account until the Termination Date. As soon as practical after the Termination Date, all shares of NeoStem Common Stock then remaining in the Escrow Account will be released to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to the former Amorcyte Securityholders; provided that NeoStem Common Stock representing 120% of the maximum amount of any claim made by NeoStem pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the Amorcyte Merger Agreement during the Escrow Period will be withheld and remain in the Escrow Account pending resolution of such claim. In addition, a number of shares of NeoStem Common Stock in the Escrow Account which is necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any indemnification claim previously delivered by NeoStem prior to the Termination Date with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to the expiration of the Escrow Period, shall remain in the Escrow Account until such claims have been resolved.

Contingent Share Milestones

The Contingent Shares will be issued only if certain business milestones are achieved, as follows:

One-third of the Contingent Shares will be issued upon (a) the completion of Phase 2 clinical trial for Amorcyte’s product candidate AMR-001 and (b) issuance of a statistically significant analysis demonstrating satisfaction of the primary clinical end points from the Phase 2 clinical trial, which primary clinical endpoints are described in the Phase 2 clinical trial protocol submitted by Amorcyte to the FDA on July 5, 2011, and which may only be changed by a writing consented to by NeoStem and the Amorcyte Representative.

-4-

One-third of the Contingent Shares will be issued following a Type B End of Phase 2/Pre-Phase 3 meeting with the FDA wherein AMR-001 is acknowledged in writing by the FDA to be ready for Phase 3.

The remaining one-third of the Contingent Shares will be issued upon the first dosing of the first patient in the pivotal Phase 3 clinical study for AMR-001.

Upon achievement of these specified contingencies, the Contingent Shares will be issued to the former stockholders of Amorcyte.

Procedures for Earn Out Payments

Within 90 days following the end of each calendar quarter, NeoStem will pay Earn Out Payments (to the Amorcyte Representative in trust for the benefit of the former Amorcyte Securityholders) equal to 10% of the net sales of AMR-001, which payment obligation will begin following the date of first commercial sale of AMR-001 and continue until the latest date that a valid patent claim exists on a country by country basis covering AMR-001, provided that if NeoStem licenses or otherwise grants an unaffiliated third party the right to commercialize or otherwise exploit AMR-001 or any portion of AMR-001 (including, without limitation, a sublicense for all or part of any territory for AMR-001) then the applicable Earn Out Payment will be equal to 30% of any sublicensing fees, royalties and milestone fees or profit sharing payment (but not payments for development costs) actually received by NeoStem. NeoStem will be entitled to recover direct out-of-pocket clinical development costs not previously paid or reimbursed and any costs, expenses, damages, liabilities, and settlement amounts arising out of or related to claims with respect to patent infringement or otherwise challenging Amorcyte’s ownership of or right to use intellectual property, by reducing any Earn Out Payments due by 50% until such costs have been recouped in full.

The Amorcyte Representative (Paul Schmitt or his duly appointed successor) (the “Amorcyte Representative”) shall be solely responsible for the distribution of the Earn Out Payments to the former Amorcyte Securityholders. At closing, for informational purposes, the Amorcyte Representative will deliver to NeoStem a certification setting forth the percentage of the aggregate Earn Out Payments to which each former Amorcyte Securityholder is entitled (subject to amendment to reflect the effects of any financing conducted by Amorcyte), which certification shall be conclusive and binding on the Amorcyte Securityholders (the “Earn Out Payment Certification”). Within 90 days following the end of each calendar quarter, NeoStem will send the Earn Out Payments, if any, to the Amorcyte Representative (who will be responsible for the appropriate division and distribution of the Earn Out Payments received by him, as well as any tax withholding or reporting related thereto).

Subject to Closing Conditions

The consummation of the transactions is subject to various conditions, including the approval by Amorcyte’s stockholders of the Amorcyte Merger and the Amorcyte Merger Agreement; approval by NeoStem’s stockholders of the issuance of NeoStem securities in connection with the Amorcyte Merger; Amorcyte having terminated (with no liability to NeoStem) its Amended and Restated License, as amended to date, from Baxter Healthcare Corporation; receipt by NeoStem of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that Amorcyte has entered into an agreement with a supplier for cell sorting on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to NeoStem; the full payment and satisfaction by Amorcyte of all payables due to NeoStem’s subsidiary PCT through the closing date; the absence of any order or legal proceeding preventing consummation of the Amorcyte Acquisition; and other legal and regulatory requirements. Additionally, it is a condition to NeoStem’s and Subco’s obligations to close that (A) (i) holders of Amorcyte’s common stock and holders of Amorcyte’s Series A Preferred Stock entitled to 1% or more of the aggregate Stock Consideration shall not have voted against the Amorcyte Merger or withheld their consent thereto in writing or otherwise remain eligible to perfect appraisal rights in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and (ii) holders who represent more than 5% of Amorcyte’s issued and outstanding common stock shall not have voted against the Amorcyte Merger or withheld their consent thereto in writing or otherwise remain eligible to perfect appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL, and that (B) no holders of Amorcyte’s issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall have had any of their Series A shares redeemed nor shall any Series A holders have requested that Amorcyte redeem any Series A shares. Either NeoStem or Amorcyte may terminate the Amorcyte Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby at any time prior to the Effective Time, if the closing does not occur on or prior to January 31, 2012; provided that the party seeking to terminate is not at such time in material breach of any material representation or warranty contained in the Amorcyte Merger Agreement.

Voting Agreements

Pursuant to a Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement among Amorcyte and certain of its stockholders, as amended, holders of a sufficient number of shares of Amorcyte’s common stock and preferred stock have agreed to vote all of the shares of Amorcyte capital stock held by them in favor of any “Change of Control Transaction” (which as defined includes the proposed Amorcyte Merger) that is approved by Amorcyte’s board of directors and by a majority of the holders of Amorcyte’s Series A Preferred Stock.

In addition, pursuant to a voting and lock up agreement (the “Amorcyte Voting Agreement”) dated the same date as the Amorcyte Merger Agreement, holders of a sufficient number of shares of Amorcyte’s common stock and preferred stock to approve the Amorcyte Merger and the Amorcyte Merger Agreement have irrevocably agreed to vote in favor of the Amorcyte Merger and the Amorcyte Merger Agreement at any meeting of the stockholders of Amorcyte called to for such purpose (or in connection with any written consent of Amorcyte stockholders for such purpose) (the “Amorcyte Meeting”) and agreed to certain transfer restrictions with respect to their Amorcyte securities prior to the closing.

Amorcyte Representative

By approval of the Amorcyte Merger at the Amorcyte Meeting, each stockholder of Amorcyte will be deemed to have irrevocably constituted and appointed Paul Schmitt (currently the Chief Executive Officer and a director of Amorcyte, and the Managing Director of Novitas Capital, a substantial stockholder of Amorcyte), as the “Amorcyte Representative” under the Amorcyte Merger Agreement. The Amorcyte Representative will act on behalf of all of the stockholders of Amorcyte in executing various closing documents and in reviewing and, if he deems it appropriate, disputing, any indemnification claims made against the Escrow Account after the closing.

Covenant to Develop AMR-001

Pursuant to the Amorcyte Merger Agreement, NeoStem covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop AMR-001 (currently, Amorcyte’s lead product candidate) or to use commercially reasonable efforts to locate a partner to develop AMR-001, and if and only if commercially reasonable, to file a Biologics License Application or its equivalent with the FDA for marketing and sale of AMR-001 in the United States, obtain approval for such marketing and sale in the United States and in such other territories to be agreed to by the parties, and commercialize or cause the commercialization of AMR-001 in the United States and in such additional territories, all in a timely fashion to the extent commercially reasonable.

OTHER RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE PARTIES

Amorcyte was initially formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC (“PCT”) and was spun off to PCT’s members during 2005. PCT (now a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem) was acquired by NeoStem on January 19, 2011. The Amorcyte spin off was an example of PCT’s strategy, which historically has included the periodic formation of companies intended to develop specific therapeutic products, which companies could subsequently be spun-out while remaining revenue-generating clients of PCT. Through its acquisition of PCT, NeoStem has an ownership interest in Amorcyte consisting of 62.6 shares of Amorcyte’s Series A Preferred Stock owned by PCT (representing less than 1% of Amorcyte’s outstanding Series A shares). Additionally, Amorcyte is now a NeoStem customer (through NeoStem’s subsidiary PCT), resulting in revenues to NeoStem for R&D services of $105,329 during fiscal year 2010. Former members of PCT have remained stockholders of Amorcyte post spin-off.

-10-

Since its spin-off from PCT, Amorcyte has remained dependent on PCT for certain administrative and development services. For example, on May 31, 2005, Amorcyte entered into a Cell Processing Agreement with PCT (subsequently amended and restated effective March 13, 2009), pursuant to which PCT is the exclusive evergreen provider of cell processing services and related services to Amorcyte at rates specified in the Agreement and anticipates processing the cells for the 150 patients expected to be enrolled in Amorcyte’s Phase 2 trial expected to start in first quarter 2012. In exchange for entering into this Agreement, Amorcyte paid PCT $200,000. The rates set forth by the Agreement initially included $25,000 per month during the clinical trial period for oversight services. This monthly fee was amended to $22,000 (or less if Amorcyte asked PCT to perform a lesser amount of services) in 2008 through March 2011. Under the March 13, 2009 agreement (which was amended by an oral agreement among the parties) Amorcyte has contracted with PCT to provide certain administrative financial and accounting functions and use of certain space at PCT’s Allendale, New Jersey facility at a fee of $15,000 per month. Fees for additional services are determined by mutual agreement of the parties. Costs incurred by Amorcyte (and corresponding revenues recognized by PCT) under this Agreement amounted to $45,000 for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, $180,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and approximately $1,269,000 since Amorcyte’s inception. Since the execution of the Amended and Restated Cell Processing Agreement, PCT and Amorcyte have mutually agreed on various proposals provided to Amorcyte by PCT addressing various services, including process development and preparatory services related to anticipated Phase 2 trials of AMR-001.

Certain officers of NeoStem’s subsidiary PCT provide services to Amorcyte pursuant to this arrangement. For example, George Goldberger, currently PCT’s Vice President - Business Development, also serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Amorcyte. Dr. Andrew L. Pecora, who currently serves in a part-time capacity as PCT’s Chief Medical Officer and who pursuant to the agreement governing NeoStem’s January 2011 acquisition of PCT will be invited to join NeoStem’s board of directors (appointment anticipated during 2011), also serves as Amorcyte’s Chief Scientific Officer pursuant to an oral consulting arrangement with Amorcyte providing for compensation of $50,000 per year.

On May 19, 2006, PCT entered into a line of credit agreement with Amorcyte, whereby PCT agreed to loan Amorcyte up to $500,000 at an annual interest rate of 5%. The line of credit agreement was a condition to Amorcyte closing a Series A Preferred Stock Financing completed during 2006. To date, PCT has not loaned any amount to Amorcyte under this agreement. The line of credit agreement expires on the earlier of (i) the date on which PCT declares the outstanding principal and accrued interest due and payable based on an event of default as defined within the agreement, or (ii) the date of closing of the first debt or equity financing of Amorcyte following the initial borrowing of the principal. These events have not occurred to date.

Pursuant to the Amorcyte Merger Agreement, the full payment and satisfaction by Amorcyte of all payables due to NeoStem’s subsidiary PCT through the closing date is a condition to NeoStem’s obligation to close the Amorcyte Merger.

During June 2010, PCT made an investment in Amorcyte through the purchase for $50,000 of 62.6 shares of Amorcyte’s Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock.

In June and July of 2011, respectively, Novitas Capital III, L.P. and Darren Blanton, each a substantial beneficial owner of Amorcyte Series A Preferred Stock, invested $1,000,000 and $350,000, respectively, in private placements of NeoStem Common Stock. In addition, in this same private placement, Crown Oaks Inc. Profit Sharing Plan & Trust and the William Herbert Hunt Trust Estate, each a substantial Amorcyte stockholder, invested $250,000 and $128,000, respectively, in NeoStem Common Stock.

Additionally, Robert A. Preti, Ph.D, an officer of NeoStem’s subsidiary PCT, beneficially owns 27.5 shares (or 0.3%) of Amorcyte’s Series A Preferred Stock and 1,219.7 shares (or 15.6%) of Amorcyte’s common stock. Dr. Preti also benefically owns 2,129,966 shares (or 2.6%) of the outstanding NeoStem Common Stock.

In accordance with the terms of the agreement (the “PCT Merger Agreement”) governing NeoStem’s acquisition of PCT (which closed on January 19, 2011) (the “PCT Merger”), the stock consideration paid by NeoStem in exchange for the membership interests of PCT was deposited into an escrow account for eventual distribution to the former members of PCT. Dr. Pecora, Dr. Robert A. Preti (PCT’s President and Chief Scientific Officer prior to the PCT merger, and who following the PCT merger serves as PCT’s President pursuant to an employment agreement that became effective upon the closing of the PCT Merger) and Mr. Goldberger beneficially owned approximately 17.2%, 17.0% and 2.5%, respectively, of the membership interests of PCT that were outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the PCT Merger. Certain of the shares of NeoStem Common Stock issued to these three individuals in connection with the January 2011 PCT Merger have been and/or will be released from escrow earlier than the first release of shares for other former members of PCT for the purpose of enabling them to pay taxes that will be due as a result of the PCT merger. Currently Dr. Pecora, Dr. Preti and Mr. Goldberger beneficially own 2,270,672, 2,129,966 and 309,192 shares, respectively, of NeoStem’s Common Stock, representing respectively 2.7%, 2.6% and 0.4% of NeoStem’s outstanding Common Stock. Dr. Pecora’s beneficial ownership includes 78,125 shares of NeoStem Common Stock purchased by him in a NeoStem private placement consummated on March 3, 2011 at a price of $1.28 per share.

-11-

Pursuant to the PCT Merger Agreement, NeoStem agreed to pay off PCT’s credit line with Northern New Jersey Cancer Associates (“NNJCA”), in an amount up to $3,000,000, shortly after the closing of the PCT Merger. On January 21, 2011, NeoStem paid NNJCA $3,000,000 in full satisfaction of all of borrower PCT’s obligations to lender NNJCA arising from the underlying line of credit and security agreement. Dr. Pecora has served as Managing Partner of NNJCA since 1996.

REGISTRATION STATEMENT

In connection with the Amorcyte Merger, NeoStem intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “S-4”) to register the NeoStem Common Stock (including the NeoStem Common Stock underlying the Warrants) issuable in connection with the Amorcyte Merger. The S-4 will contain a prospectus/joint proxy statement pertaining to (a) the meeting of stockholders of NeoStem at which NeoStem’s stockholders will be asked to approve the issuance of NeoStem securities pursuant to the Amorcyte Merger Agreement (the “NeoStem Meeting”) and (b) the meeting of stockholders of Amorcyte at which Amorcyte’s stockholders will be asked to approve the Amorcyte Merger and the Amorcyte Merger Agreement (the “Amorcyte Meeting”). It is expected that at the NeoStem Meeting, NeoStem’s stockholders will also be asked to vote upon proposals to elect directors and to ratify the appointment of NeoStem’s auditors.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amorcyte Merger Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Amorcyte Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

BUSINESS OF AMORCYTE

Overview

Amorcyte is a clinical stage therapeutics company pursuing cell-based therapies for cardiovascular diseases. Amorcyte’s most advanced product candidate is AMR-001, a chemotactic hematopoietic stem cell product comprising autologous bone marrow-derived, CD34+/CXCR-4+ stem cells selected to treat damaged heart muscle following acute myocardial infarction (“AMI”). Amorcyte successfully completed a Phase 1 trial of AMR-001 for the treatment of damaged heart muscle following AMI, and is preparing to move into Phase 2 testing. Amorcyte believes that its Phase 1 study is the first stem cell trial to show dose-related statistically significant improvement in perfusion following AMI. Amorcyte also expects to commence a Phase 1 study of AMR-001 in congestive heart failure in 2012.

Amorcyte also plans to develop stem cell therapies to treat a variety of other cardiovascular diseases.

Amorcyte partners with NeoStem’s wholly-owned subsidiary Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC (“PCT”), a cGMP cell manufacturer accredited by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cell Therapies (“FACT”), for all product manufacturing. Amorcyte expects PCT’s significant expertise in cell therapy and core process development to provide a cost advantage for AMR-001 manufacturing.

Amorcyte’s Advantages

Amorcyte’s business strategy focuses on cellular therapeutics for cardiovascular indications. The markets for Amorcyte’s targeted indications are expected to expand as the baby boomer generation ages.

-12-

Amorcyte has a dominant intellectual property position, having been issued the first U.S. patent for a chemotactic hematopoietic stem cell product (a CD34+/CXCR4+ cell that migrates to areas of ischemic damage), its delivery and the cell potency and stability that Amorcyte believes will be needed to treat the consequences of a vascular injury.

Additionally, members of Amorcyte’s management have been involved in obtaining reimbursement and regulatory approval of cell-based therapies. Dr. Pecora has been involved in the clinical testing of a variety of cell based therapies and is very experienced in the use of devices to manipulate cells for human use. Dr. Preti, the President of Amorcyte’s exclusive cell processing provider PCT, has been involved in the development of laboratory regulations and standards. As officers of PCT, both Drs. Pecora and Preti were directly involved in the cGMP manufacturing of Dendreon’s cell therapy product, Provenge®, now an FDA approved product for prostate cancer. Dr. Pecora is an advisor to several insurance companies on matters regarding new technologies and reimbursement for complex therapies, including cell based therapies.

While other companies are developing stem cell based therapies for cardiovascular disease, Amorcyte is in a strong competitive position due to the very early indicia of effect seen in its Phase 1 trial, cGMP manufacturing experience, and dominant patent portfolio.

There are five categories of competitive therapies representing different sources of stem cells: fat derived cells, mesenchymal cells, cord blood, adult stem cells and hematopoietic (bone marrow derived) cells. Of these, the allogeneic sources (that is, where donor and recipient are different persons) face a series of technical limitations that can minimize their clinical value, including the potential need for immunosuppressants, toxicity concerns and durability issues. Of the autologous sources of stem cells (donor and recipient the same) listed above, only Amorcyte, to its knowledge, has positive Phase 1 data, a cGMP process for manufacturing, together with a patented technology supporting dosing.

As part of the pre-clinical development work done by Amorcyte, validation experiments of four different coronary artery balloon catheters were performed, leading to their approval for use in the Phase 1 clinical trial. Intra-coronary artery delivery has an advantage over intra-cardiac muscle delivery because the procedure can be performed at virtually any cardiac catheterization laboratory (intra-muscle delivery is limited to experienced centers) and is less invasive. Amorcyte's product had a validated 48 hour product shelf life in the Phase 1 study, but now has been validated to 72 hours. A shelf life of greater than 24 hours allows the product (following manufacturing and distribution from the manufacturing site) to be stored locally in a blood bank refrigerator for use at a convenient elective time.

Amorcyte’s Business Strategy and Primary Market

There are approximately 160,000 patients per year who have an ST Elevation Myoardial Infarction (or “STEMI,” the most dangerous type of heart attack resulting from a sudden blockage of one of the arteries that supplies nutrient-rich blood to the heart muscle) resulting in a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (that is, the fraction of blood pumped out of the left ventricle with each heartbeat) of 48% or less. These patients represent a large cost segment and are the largest financial burden for many managed care programs, post heart attack. Amorcyte expects this burden to increase as the “baby boomer” population ages. AMR-001, if approved, could have a significant pharmacoeconomic benefit by preventing downstream cardiac adverse events.

Amorcyte’s Product Development Pipeline — AMR-001

AMR-001, Amorcyte’s lead product candidate, is an autologous derived (donor and recipient the same), CD34 positive/CXCR4 positive selected stem cell product which Amorcyte believes has the potential to limit progressive cardiomyocyte (heart muscle cell) loss following AMI and, thus, has the potential to maintain cardiac muscle function and prevent further adverse cardiac events.

Amorcyte’s therapeutic strategy focuses on developing product candidates designed to prevent subsequent major adverse cardiac events following a significant AMI by preserving heart muscle tissue. AMI remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and worldwide. Current interventions or medications have limited ability to prevent progressive myocardial cell apoptosis (a particular kind of programmed cell death) leading to cardiac functional deterioration and downstream Major Adverse Cardiac Events (“MACE”). Amorcyte is proposing to develop a therapeutic to overcome these limitations, by injecting a potent dose of autologous Bone Marrow (“BM”) derived CD34+/CXCR-4+ cells (AMR-001) during 7-11 days post AMI (the repair phase) to prevent progressive apoptosis (cell death) in the peri-infarct zone (that is, the living tissue on the periphery of the dead tissue), which restores perfusion (or blood flow) surrounding the site of the heart attack.

-13-

Preclinical Research — Rationale for the Use of CD34+ Cell Populations for Cardiovascular Indications

Pre-clinical (animal) models of induced AMI have shown that CD34+/CXCR4+ expressing cells home along a gradient of hypoxia-induced Stromal-Derived Factor-1 – that is, these cells migrate naturally to oxygen-deprived locations. More specifically, these cells home to the viable tissue surrounding the infarcted (dead) myocardium, known as the peri-infarct zone, because of the steep SDF gradient created by cells under ischemic (oxygen deprived) stress. Moreover, CD34+/CXCR4+ expressing cells were shown to be capable of inducing neoangiogenesis (development and formation of blood vessels) over time and preventing late heart cell death due to chronic ischemia (restriction of blood supply). These cells were also shown to prevent apoptosis through alternative pathways. Other studies demonstrated that CD34+/CXCR4+ cells that take up residence in the peri-infarct zone are likely the cell type that affects neo-angiogenesis, relieves ischemia and prevents apoptosis. Collectively these results provided the rationale for the exploration of a pharmaceutical grade specific cell-based therapy with a defined hypothesized mechanism of action to reduce the incidence and severity of MACE after an extensive AMI.

Preclinical models of induced AMI show that CD34+ cells are uniquely capable of restoring blood flow to ischemic tissue and preserving heart muscle function after an AMI. Preservation of heart muscle function in several studies led to improved outcomes among treated animals.

Mechanism of Action of AMR-001

AMR-001 works by increasing microvascular blood flow in the myocardium (heart muscle) via neoangiogenesis (development and formation of new blood vessels), thereby reversing post-heart attack induced ischemia (restriction of blood supply) and rescuing tissue from hibernation and preventing eventual cell death (apoptosis). The process works as follows:

CD34+/CXCR4+ cells are harvested from the patient’s own bone marrow and isolated to increase potency using Amorcyte’s patented technology.

The selected cells are infused via the infarct-related artery 7 to 10 days following the ST-Elevation MI (“STEMI”, a type of heart attack usually caused by a sudden or complete blockage of one of the heart arteries) – the optimal time frame for cellular intervention, after the pro-inflammatory “hot phase” and prior to permanent scar formation.

The infused CD34+/CXCR4+ cells home to the at-risk tissue along a hypoxia-induced Stromal-Derived Factor-1 gradient to a signal emitted from the infarct as described above, inducing neoangiogenesis and a resultant functional benefit.

Amorcyte’s Phase 1 trial results are supportive of this mechanism of action (CD34+/CXCR4+ cell induced neoangiogenesis resulting in a functional benefit) and have been published in Am Heart J 2011; 161:98-105. The role of these CD34+ cells in functional improvement and mechanism of action has also been demonstrated in an animal model (Wang J et al., Circ Res 2010; 106:1904-1911).

Clinical Development of AMR-001

Phase 1 Trial of AMR-001

Results of the Phase 1 trial of Amorcyte’s AMR-001 were initially presented at the 2009 American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session. The peer-reviewed full publication has been cited above (American Heart Journal, 2011). AMR-001 showed a dose-related significant improvement in myocardial perfusion (amount of blood in the heart). Resting Total Severity Score (“RTSS”), a measure of neo-angiogenesis and of prevention of cell death (apoptosis), is a score based on the amount of technetium dye not taken up in a single-photon emission computerized tomography (“SPECT”) scan and the metric employed in the Phase 1 study. SPECT also permits imaging where MRI would be ineffective as a result of stents, pacemakers and defibrillators. In brief, the technetium dye used in a SPECT scan is taken up by the heart muscle. If the heart muscle is healthy and there is adequate blood flow, the muscle will take up the dye. If the heart muscle is not healthy, dye uptake is diminished or does not occur at all. The study results demonstrated that patients receiving 10 million cells (n=5) or 15 million cells (n=4) showed significant improvement in resting perfusion rates at six months as compared to patients receiving 5 million cells (n=6) or the control groups (n=15), as measured by the SPECT total severity score (-256 versus +13, p=0.01).

The data also showed that patients receiving 10 or 15 million cells showed a trend towards improvement in ejection fraction (the percentage of blood pumped out of the ventricles with each heart beat), end systolic volume (the blood volume remaining in a ventricle at the end of contraction and the beginning of filling, which can be used clinically as a measurement of the adequacy of cardiac emptying), and reduction in infarct size over subjects receiving 5 million cells or the control infusion.

Anticipated Phase 2 Trial of AMR-001

In the first quarter of 2012, Amorcyte expects to commence a 150 patient Phase 2 multicenter (25), blinded, prospective, randomized, controlled U.S. clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single intra-coronary infusion of > 10 million cells of AMR-001 after STEMI in subjects with ejection fraction of <48%, as determined by screening CMR 96 hours post stenting.

The objective of the Phase 2 study will be to determine the effect of infusion of a > 10 million cell dose of CD34+/CXCR4+ cells on cardiac function and outcomes of patients after significant STEMI. The primary assessment for the effect of AMR-001 on cardiac function will be improvement in cardiac perfusion (RTSS) as measured by a SPECT scan and preservation of LVEF by CMR. Amorcyte also intends to evaluate the impact of AMR-001 on cardiac function and adverse events post-myocardial infarction as defined by reduction in cumulative MACE at 12 and 18 months, KCLZ and SAQ improvement, premature death, recurrent MI, congestive heart failure, significant arrhythmias, and acute coronary syndrome.

-15-

Plans for Future Development

If successful in Phase 2, Amorcyte plans to proceed with a later stage trial(s) to demonstrate meaningful clinical benefit and seek approval to commercialize AMR-001 to prevent the adverse consequences of a large AMI.

Manufacturing

PCT entered into a Cell Processing Agreement with Amorcyte in 2005 (subsequently amended and restated effective March 13, 2009), pursuant to which PCT is the exclusive evergreen provider of cell processing services to Amorcyte and anticipates processing the cells for the 150 patients expected to be enrolled in Amorcyte’s Phase 2 trial which is expected to start in first quarter 2012. AMR-001 for congestive heart failure is expected to enter Phase 1 testing in 2012 as well. In addition, Athelos Corporation’s T-reg program is expected to have a product that will come to the clinic in 2012.

Sales and Marketing

Amorcyte does not have any sales, marketing or distribution capabilities.

Amorcyte plans to pursue strategic collaborations to support and facilitate the development and commercialization of some of its product candidates. AMR-001, which Amorcyte is developing for target indications with large addressable patient populations, may require the support of large sales and marketing organizations. In particular, Amorcyte would expect to explore collaboration arrangements with leading pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies for the commercialization of its products. In addition, if Amorcyte chooses to pursue approval of AMR-001 by foreign regulatory authorities, Amorcyte would evaluate the potential for collaborations with third parties to assist in the development and commercialization of these product candidates in international markets.

Intellectual Property

Amorcyte’s practice is to file patent applications to protect technology, inventions and improvements that it considers important to the development of its business, unless Amorcyte believes that it would gain a greater competitive advantage by instead keeping such technology as trade secret. Amorcyte also relies upon trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain its competitive position. Amorcyte plans to aggressively protect and defend its patents and proprietary technology.

Competition

Amorcyte’s industry is subject to rapid and intense technological change. Amorcyte faces, and will continue to face, intense competition from pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as numerous academic and research institutions and governmental agencies engaged in drug discovery activities or funding, both in the United States and abroad. Some of these competitors are pursuing the development of drugs and other therapies that target the same diseases and conditions that Amorcyte is targeting with its lead product candidate AMR-001, or that Amorcyte may target with future product candidates.

Many of the companies competing against Amorcyte have financial and other resources substantially greater than those of Amorcyte. In addition, many of Amorcyte’s competitors have significantly greater experience in testing pharmaceutical and other therapeutic products, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals of products, and marketing and selling those products. Accordingly, these competitors may succeed more rapidly than Amorcyte in obtaining FDA approval for products and achieving widespread market acceptance. If Amorcyte obtains necessary regulatory approval and commences significant commercial sales of its products, Amorcyte will also be competing with respect to manufacturing efficiency and marketing capabilities, areas in which Amorcyte has limited or no commercial-scale experience.

The primary competitors to Amorcyte in the field of cell therapy for AMI and other cardiovascular-related disorders include public companies like Baxter International Inc., MesoBlast Limited, Athersys, Inc., Aastrom Biosciences, Inc., Aldagen, Inc., Pluristem Therapeutics Inc., and Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. These companies are pursuing cell based approaches for cardiovascular diseases that relate to AMI (Acute Myocardial Infarction), CI (Chronic Ischemia), CHF (Congestive Heart Failure), DCM (dilated cardiac myopathy) and related indications like CLI (Critical Limb Ischemia). The field remains highly competitive. However, Amorcyte believes that it has a differentiated approach utilizing a highly purified, active cell population which is covered by composition of matter intellectual property.

Employees

Amorcyte does not have any employees. Paul Schmitt (Amorcyte’s Chief Executive Officer) and Thomas J. Moss, M.D. (Amorcyte’s Chief Medical Officer) provide services pursuant to written consulting agreements. Andrew L. Pecora, M.D., Amorcyte’s Chief Scientific Officer, provides services pursuant to an oral consulting arrangement with Amorcyte. Amorcyte uses other consultants and scientific advisors as needed. In addition, as further described above, Amorcyte has an arrangement with PCT to supply administrative, financial and accounting services.

Facilities

Amorcyte does not own or lease any real property. Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Cell Processing Agreement with PCT (a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem), PCT serves as Amorcyte’s exclusive provider of all cell processing services. The cell processing services are performed at PCT’s Allendale, New Jersey or Mountain View, California facilities.

Legal Proceedings

Amorcyte is not currently a party to or engaged in any material legal proceedings. However, Amorcyte may be subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.

-18-

GOVERNMENT REGULATION — AMORCYTE

Government authorities in the United States, at the federal, state and local level, and in other countries, extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacture, including any manufacturing changes, packaging, storage, recordkeeping, labeling, advertising promotion, distribution, marketing, import and export of biological products such as AMR-001. The process of obtaining required regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and money, and there is no guarantee that Amorcyte will successfully complete the steps needed to obtain regulatory approval of AMR-001 or any future product candidates. In addition, these regulations may change and Amorcyte’s product candidates may be subject to new legislation or regulations.

FDA approval process

In the United States, pharmaceutical products are subject to extensive regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or the FD&C Act, and other federal and state statutes and regulations, govern, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacture, storage, recordkeeping, approval, labeling, promotion and marketing, distribution, post-approval monitoring and reporting, sampling, and import and export of pharmaceutical products. Failure to comply with applicable U.S. requirements may subject a company to a variety of administrative or judicial sanctions, such as FDA refusal to approve pending new drug applications, or NDAs, warning letters, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, fines, civil penalties, and criminal prosecution.

Pharmaceutical product development in the U.S. typically involves preclinical laboratory and animal tests, the submission to the FDA of a notice of claimed investigational exemption or an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before clinical testing can commence, and adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to establish the safety and effectiveness of the drug for each indication for which FDA approval is sought. Satisfaction of FDA pre-market approval requirements typically takes many years and the actual time required may vary substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product or disease.

Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry, formulation and toxicity, as well as animal trials to assess the characteristics and potential safety and efficacy of the product. The conduct of the preclinical tests must comply with federal regulations and requirements including good laboratory practices. The results of preclinical testing are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND along with other information including information about product chemistry, manufacturing and controls and a proposed clinical trial protocol. Long term preclinical tests, such as animal tests of reproductive toxicity and carcinogenicity, may continue after the IND is submitted.

A 30-day waiting period after the submission of each IND is required prior to the commencement of clinical testing in humans. If the FDA has neither commented on nor questioned the IND within this 30-day period, the clinical trial proposed in the IND may begin.

Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational new drug to healthy volunteers or patients under the supervision of a qualified investigator. Clinical trials must be conducted in compliance with federal regulations; good clinical practice, or GCP, an international standard meant to protect the rights and health of patients and to define the roles of clinical trial sponsors, administrators, and monitors; as well as under protocols detailing the objectives of the trial, the parameters to be used in monitoring safety and the effectiveness criteria to be evaluated. Each protocol involving testing on U.S. patients and subsequent protocol amendments must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND.

The FDA may order the temporary or permanent discontinuation of a clinical trial at any time, or impose other sanctions, if it believes that the clinical trial is not being conducted in accordance with FDA requirements, or presents an unacceptable risk to the clinical trial patients. The study protocol and informed consent information for patients in clinical trials must also be submitted to an institutional review board, or IRB, for approval. An IRB may also require the clinical trial at the site to be halted, either temporarily or permanently, for failure to comply with the IRB’s requirements, or may impose other conditions.

Clinical trials to support NDAs for marketing approval are typically conducted in three sequential phases, but the phases may overlap. In Phase 1, the initial introduction of the drug into healthy human subjects or patients, the drug is tested to assess metabolism, pharmacokinetics, pharmacological actions, side effects associated with increasing doses and, if possible, early evidence on effectiveness. Phase 2 usually involves trials in a limited patient population to determine the effectiveness of the drug for a particular indication, dosage tolerance and optimum dosage, and identify common adverse effects and safety risks. If a compound demonstrates evidence of effectiveness and an acceptable safety profile in Phase 2 evaluations, Phase 3 trials are undertaken to obtain the additional information about clinical efficacy and safety in a larger number of patients, typically at geographically dispersed clinical trial sites, to permit FDA to evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of the drug and to provide adequate information for the labeling of the drug.

After completion of the required clinical testing, an NDA is prepared and submitted to the FDA. FDA approval of the NDA is required before marketing of the product may begin in the U.S. The NDA must include the results of all preclinical, clinical, and other testing and a compilation of data relating to the product's pharmacology, chemistry, manufacture, and controls. The cost of preparing and submitting an NDA is substantial. Under federal law, the submission of most NDAs is additionally subject to a substantial application user fee, currently exceeding $1.5 million, and the manufacturer and/or sponsor under an approved new drug application are also subject to annual product and establishment user fees, currently exceeding $86,000 per product and $497,000 per establishment. These fees are typically increased annually.

The FDA has 60 days from its receipt of an NDA to determine whether the application will be accepted for filing based on the agency's threshold determination that it is sufficiently complete to permit substantive review. Once the submission is accepted for filing, the FDA begins an in-depth review. The FDA has agreed to certain performance goals in the review of new drug applications. Most such applications for standard review drug products are reviewed within ten months; most applications for priority review drugs are reviewed in six months. Priority review can be applied to drugs that the FDA determines offer major advances in treatment, or provide a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. For biologics, priority review is further limited only for drugs intended to treat a serious or life-threatening disease relative to the currently approved products. The review process for both standard and priority review may be extended by the FDA for three additional months to consider certain late-submitted information, or information intended to clarify information already provided in the submission. The FDA may also refer applications for novel drug products or drug products which present difficult questions of safety or efficacy to an advisory committee, typically a panel that includes clinicians and other experts, for review, evaluation, and a recommendation as to whether the application should be approved. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it generally follows such recommendations. Before approving an NDA, the FDA will typically inspect one or more clinical sites to assure compliance with GCP. Additionally, the FDA will inspect the facility or the facilities at which the drug is manufactured. The FDA will not approve the product unless compliance with current good manufacturing practice, or GMP – a quality system regulating manufacturing – is satisfactory and the NDA contains data that provide substantial evidence that the drug is safe and effective in the indication studied.

After the FDA evaluates the NDA and the manufacturing facilities, it issues an approval letter or a complete response letter. A complete response letter generally outlines the deficiencies in the submission and may require substantial additional testing or information in order for the FDA to reconsider the application. If and when those deficiencies have been addressed to the FDA's satisfaction in a resubmission of the NDA, the FDA will issue an approval letter. The FDA has committed to reviewing such resubmissions in 2 or 6 months depending on the type of information included.

An approval letter authorizes commercial marketing of the drug with specific prescribing information for specific indications. As a condition of NDA approval, the FDA may require a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy, or REMS, to help ensure that the benefits of the drug outweigh the potential risks. REMS can include medication guides, communication plans for healthcare professionals, and elements to assure safe use, or ETASU. ETASU can include, but are not limited to, special training or certification for prescribing or dispensing, dispensing only under certain circumstances, special monitoring, and the use of patient registries. The requirement for a REMS can materially affect the potential market and profitability of the drug. Moreover, product approval may require substantial post-approval testing and surveillance to monitor the drug's safety or efficacy. Once granted, product approvals may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or problems are identified following initial marketing.

Advertising and Promotion

Once an NDA is approved, a product will be subject to certain post-approval requirements. For instance, FDA closely regulates the post-approval marketing and promotion of drugs, including standards and regulations for direct-to-consumer advertising, off-label promotion, industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities and promotional activities involving the internet.

Drugs may be marketed only for the approved indications and in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling. Changes to some of the conditions established in an approved application, including changes in indications, labeling, or manufacturing processes or facilities, require submission and FDA approval of a new NDA or NDA supplement before the change can be implemented. An NDA supplement for a new indication typically requires clinical data similar to that in the original application, and the FDA uses the same procedures and actions in reviewing NDA supplements as it does in reviewing NDAs.

Adverse Event Reporting and GMP Compliance

Adverse event reporting and submission of periodic reports is required following FDA approval of an NDA. The FDA also may require post-marketing testing, known as Phase 4 testing, risk minimization action plans, and surveillance to monitor the effects of an approved product, or the FDA may place conditions on an approval that could restrict the distribution or use of the product. In addition, quality-control, drug manufacture, packaging, and labeling procedures must continue to conform to current good manufacturing practices, or cGMPs, after approval. Drug manufacturers and certain of their subcontractors are required to register their establishments with FDA and certain state agencies. Registration with the FDA subjects entities to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA, during which the agency inspects manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMPs. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money, and effort in the areas of production and quality-control to maintain compliance with cGMPs. Regulatory authorities may withdraw product approvals or request product recalls if a company fails to comply with regulatory standards, if it encounters problems following initial marketing, or if previously unrecognized problems are subsequently discovered.

Pediatric Information

Under the Pediatric Research Equity Act, or PREA, NDAs or supplements to NDAs must contain data to assess the safety and effectiveness of the drug for the claimed indications in all relevant pediatric subpopulations and to support dosing and administration for each pediatric subpopulation for which the drug is safe and effective. The FDA may grant full or partial waivers or deferrals for submission of data. Unless otherwise required by regulation, PREA does not apply to any drug for an indication for which orphan designation has been granted.

The Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, or BPCA, provides NDA holders a six-month extension of any exclusivity – patent or non-patent – for a drug if certain conditions are met prior to, or within nine-months after, approval. Conditions for exclusivity include the FDA’s determination that information relating to the use of a new drug in the pediatric population may produce health benefits in that population, FDA making a written request for pediatric studies, and the applicant agreeing to perform, and reporting on, the requested studies. Applications under the BPCA are treated as priority applications with all of the benefits that designation confers.

Biologics

Biological products are approved for marketing under provisions of the Public Health Service Act, or PHSA. However, because most biological products also meet the definition of "drugs" under the FD&C Act, they are also subject to regulation under FD&C Act provisions. The PHS Act requires the submission of a biologics license application, or BLA, rather than an NDA for market authorization. Clinical development of biologics is conducted in accordance with the IND regulations for drugs described above. The PHSA emphasizes the importance of manufacturing control for products that cannot be defined to help reduce the increased risk of the introduction of adventitious agents. The PHSA also provides authority to the FDA to immediately suspend licenses in situations where there exists a danger to public health, to prepare or procure products in the event of shortages and critical public health needs, and to authorize the creation and enforcement of regulations to prevent the introduction or spread of communicable diseases in the US and between states.

Manufacturers of cell and tissue based products must comply with the FDA’s current good tissue practices, or cGTP, which are FDA regulations that govern the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the manufacture of such products. The primary intent of the cGTP requirements is to ensure that cell and tissue based products are manufactured in a manner designed to prevent the introduction, transmission and spread of communicable disease.

-21-

As with drugs, after approval of biologics, manufacturers must address any safety issues that arise, are subject to recalls or a halt in manufacturing, and are subject to periodic inspection after approval.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Affordable Care Act, signed into law on March 23, 2010 included a subtitle called the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009, or BPCI Act, which created an abbreviated approval pathway for biological products shown to be similar to, or interchangeable with, an FDA-licensed reference biological product. This is conceptually similar to the established process for drug approval in that it attempts to minimize duplicative testing. Biosimilarity, which requires that there be no clinically meaningful differences between the biological product and the reference product in terms of safety, purity, and potency, can be shown through analytical studies, animal studies, and a clinical study. Interchangeability requires that a product must demonstrate that it can be expected to produce the same clinical results as the reference product and, for products administered multiple times, the biologic and the reference biologic may be switched after one has been previously administered without increasing safety risks or risks of diminished efficacy relative to exclusive use of the reference biologic. However, complexities associated with the larger and often more complex structures of biological products, as well as the process by which such products are manufactured, pose significant hurdles to implementation which are still being worked out by the FDA.

A reference biologic is granted twelve years of exclusivity from the time of first licensure of the reference product. The first biologic product submitted under the abbreviated approval pathway that is determined to be interchangeable with the reference product has exclusivity against other biologics submitting under the abbreviated approval pathway for the lesser of (i) one year after first commercial marketing, (ii) eighteen months after the initial application if there is no legal challenge, (iii) eighteen months after the resolution in the applicant’s favor of a lawsuit challenging the biologics’ patents if an application has been submitted, or (iv) 42 months after the application has been approved if a lawsuit is ongoing within the 42 month period.

Privacy Laws

Federal and state laws govern Amorcyte’s ability to obtain and, in some cases, to use and disclose data it needs to conduct research activities. Through the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, Congress required the Department of Health and Human Services to issue a series of regulations establishing standards for the electronic transmission of certain health information. Among these regulations were standards for the privacy of individually identifiable health information.

HIPAA does not preempt, or override, state privacy laws that provide even more protection for individuals’ health information. These laws’ requirements could further complicate Amorcyte’s ability to obtain necessary research data from its collaborators. In addition, certain state privacy and genetic testing laws may directly regulate Amorcyte’s research activities, affecting the manner in which it uses and discloses individuals’ health information, potentially increasing the cost of doing business, and exposing Amorcyte and the combined company to liability claims. In addition, patients and research collaborators may have contractual rights that further limit Amorcyte’s ability to use and disclose individually identifiable health information. Claims that Amorcyte violated individuals’ privacy rights or breached its contractual obligations, even if Amorcyte is not found liable, could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could harm the business.

Other Regulations

In addition to privacy law requirements and regulations enforced by the FDA, Amorcyte is also subject to various local, state and federal laws and regulations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices, the experimental use of animals and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including chemicals, micro-organisms and various radioactive compounds used in connection with its research and development activities. These laws include, but are not limited to, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Toxic Test Substances Control Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Although Amorcyte believes that its safety procedures for handling and disposing of these materials comply with the standards prescribed by state and federal regulations, there can be no assurances that accidental contamination or injury to employees and third parties from these materials will not occur. Amorcyte may not have adequate insurance to cover claims arising from its use and disposal of these hazardous substances.

-22-

Foreign Regulation

In addition to regulations in the United States, Amorcyte may be subject to a variety of foreign regulations governing clinical trials and commercial sales and distribution of biological products. Whether or not Amorcyte obtains FDA approval for a product, Amorcyte must obtain the requisite approvals from regulatory authorities in foreign countries prior to the commencement of clinical trials or marketing of the product in those countries. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials and the approval process vary from country to country and the time may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval. In the European Union, marketing authorizations may be submitted under a centralized or decentralized procedure. The centralized procedure is mandatory for the approval of biotechnology products and many pharmaceutical products, and provides for the grant of a single marketing authorization that is valid in all European Union member states. The decentralized procedure provides for mutual recognition of national approval decisions and is available at the request of the applicant for medicinal products that are not subject to the centralized procedure.

In addition to regulations in Europe and the United States, Amorcyte will be subject to a variety of other foreign regulations governing, among other things, the conduct of clinical trials, pricing and reimbursement and commercial distribution of its products. If Amorcyte fails to comply with applicable foreign regulatory requirements, it may be subject to fines, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution.

To date, Amorcyte has not initiated any discussions with the European Medicines Agency or any other foreign regulatory authorities with respect to seeking regulatory approval for AMR-001 in Europe or in any other country outside the United States.

RISK FACTORS

You are urged to read all relevant documents filed with the SEC concerning the Amorcyte Acquisition, including, without limitation, the S-4 and the prospectus/joint proxy statement contained therein, when such documents are available, because they will contain important information about NeoStem and the proposed transactions, including risk factors relating thereto. Set forth below are certain risk factors relating to the proposed Amorcyte Acquisition of which you should be aware.

RISKS RELATED TO AMORCYTE’S BUSINESS

The business of Amorcyte is highly speculative and subject to a high degree of risk. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that could affect Amorcyte. Additional risks and uncertainties of which Amorcyte is unaware, or currently believes are immaterial, may become important factors affecting Amorcyte’s business. If any of the following risks occur, Amorcyte’s business, financial condition and/or operating results could be materially harmed, or differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

Risks Related to Amorcyte’s Clinical Development Activities

If clinical trials of Amorcyte’s product candidate AMR-001 or any future product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA or do not otherwise produce positive results, Amorcyte may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of its product candidates.

Before obtaining regulatory approval for the sale of AMR-001 or any other product candidate, Amorcyte must conduct, at its own expense, extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the product candidates in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials conducted by or on behalf of Amorcyte can occur at any stage of testing. Amorcyte may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent its ability to receive regulatory approval or commercialize its product candidates, including the following:

•

regulators or institutional review boards may not authorize Amorcyte or its investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;

-23-

•

clinical trials of product candidates may produce negative or inconclusive results, and Amorcyte may decide, or regulators may require it, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs that it expects to be pursuing;

•

the number of patients required for clinical trials of product candidates may be larger than Amorcyte anticipates, enrollment in these clinical trials may be slower than Amorcyte anticipates, or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than Amorcyte anticipates;

•

third party contractors may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to Amorcyte in a timely manner or at all;

•

Amorcyte might have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of its product candidates for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are being exposed to unacceptable health risks;

•

regulators or institutional review boards may require that Amorcyte or its investigators suspend or terminate clinical research for various reasons, including noncompliance with regulatory requirements;

•

the cost of clinical trials of Amorcyte’s product candidates may be greater than anticipated;

•

Amorcyte may be subject to a more complex regulatory process, since stem cell-based therapies are relatively new and regulatory agencies have less experience with them than with traditional pharmaceutical products;

•

the supply or quality of Amorcyte’s product candidates or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of these product candidates may be insufficient or inadequate; and

•

Amorcyte’s product candidates may have undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics, causing Amorcyte or its investigators to halt or terminate the trials.

After completion of Amorcyte’s Phase 1 trials of AMR-001, the FDA issued a clinical hold notice on August 31, 2010 effective until Amorcyte submits information acceptable to the FDA on its plans to manufacture AMR-001 with an appropriate cell separation device, disposables and reagent kit and the FDA lifts the clinical hold. Amorcyte is negotiating an alternative supply agreement for the needed kits and disposables for the Phase 2 trials. A response to the clinical hold was submitted to the FDA on July 5 and 6, 2011. Amorcyte can provide no assurance that the FDA will address Amorcyte’s response in a timely manner, or that the clinical hold will be resolved in a manner favorable to Amorcyte.

During Amorcyte’s Phase 1 trial of AMR-001, serious adverse events in the treatment group were not significantly different in number compared to the placebo group. However, serious adverse events during the Phase 1 trial that occurred included one treatment group subject death from ventricular fibrillation soon after cell infusion that was attributed to recurrent myocardial infarction from stent thrombosis preceding cell infusion. This subject’s death resulted in a clinical hold during the Phase 1 trial; the hold letter was dated August 31, 2007. The hold was removed upon FDA’s review of the complete documentation on the patient and changes to enrollment procedures for additional subjects that was submitted by Amorcyte. Another treatment group subject was withdrawn because of acute stent thrombosis before cell infusion. One control subject and two additional treatment subjects experienced in-stent restenosis. One treatment subject experienced worsening of congestive heart failure.

There can be no assurance that similar or other events will not occur in future clinical trials of Amorcyte’s product candidates that could give rise to safety concerns, particularly in light of the impaired heart function of patients who will be the target subject population of Amorcyte’s future planned clinical trials.

If Amorcyte is required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testing of AMR-001 beyond those that Amorcyte currently contemplates, or if Amorcyte is required to conduct additional trials or testing of future product candidates more than Amorcyte expects, or if Amorcyte is unable to successfully complete clinical trials of its product candidates or other testing, if the results of these trials or tests are not positive or are only modestly positive, or if there are safety concerns, Amorcyte may:

•

be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for AMR-001 (or any future product candidate);

•

not be able to obtain marketing approval;

-24-

•

obtain approval for indications that are not as broad as intended;

•

have the product removed from the market after obtaining marketing approval;

•

be subject to additional post-marketing testing requirements; or

•

be subject to restrictions on how the product is distributed or used.

Amorcyte’s product development costs will also increase if Amorcyte experiences delays in testing or approvals. Amorcyte cannot predict whether any clinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant clinical trial delays also could shorten any periods during which Amorcyte may have the exclusive right to commercialize product candidates or allow its competitors to bring products to market before Amorcyte does and impair Amorcyte’s ability to commercialize its product candidates and may harm Amorcyte’s business and results of operations.

The initiation of a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial for AMR-001 will require the validation and establishment of manufacturing controls that may delay product development.

Amorcyte currently expects to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of AMR-001 in first quarter 2012. If the results of the Phase 2 clinical trial are positive and support Phase 3 development, Amorcyte intends to initiate and complete one or more pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials before seeking regulatory approval to commercialize AMR-001. Amorcyte is required to have certain validated and established manufacturing controls with respect to AMR-001 related to its safety, purity and potency when administered to patients. Manufacturing control issues will need to be addressed and resolved with the FDA if Amorcyte seeks to initiate a Phase 3 clinical trial of AMR-001. Specifically, Amorcyte must develop a potency assay for AMR-001 and lot release specifications that correlate with AMR-001 activity or clinical response. Amorcyte must also submit study plans, which it has completed but not yet submitted to the FDA, that demonstrate the product integrity of AMR-001 in connection with the shipping conditions used to transport AMR-001 from PCT’s manufacturing facility to clinical sites. Finally, Amorcyte must validate the comparability of AMR-001 manufactured under its prior and current debulking procedures. Amorcyte has satisfactorily completed those comparability studies and has submitted them to the FDA, but Amorcyte still awaits formal FDA approval of use of the Miltenyi cell sorting device in its Phase 2 protocol. Amorcyte may not be successful in its efforts to address these chemistry, manufacturing and controls (“CMC”) issues for AMR-001 in a manner satisfactory to the FDA. If Amorcyte cannot initiate, or if it is delayed in initiating, a pivotal Phase 3 clinical program of AMR-001, as a result of its failure to satisfy the FDA’s CMC concerns or otherwise, the timing of Amorcyte’s regulatory submission for commercialization of AMR-001 could be delayed, or Amorcyte may not be able to seek regulatory approval to commercialize AMR-001 at all.

Development of Amorcyte’s AMR-001 and potential future product candidates is subject to uncertainty because the CD34+ cells are derived from human bone marrow, a source material that is inherently variable.

The number of CD34+/CXCR-4+cells and the composition of the CD34+ cell population from bone marrow vary from patient to patient. These cells are the basis of Amorcyte’s product candidate AMR-001, and may also be used in future product candidates. Such variability in composition could adversely affect the ability of Amorcyte to manufacture its product candidates derived from a patient’s bone marrow or to establish and meet acceptable specifications for release of the product candidate for treatment of a particular patient. As a consequence, the development and regulatory approval process for these product candidates could be delayed or may never be completed.

The results of preclinical studies may not correlate with the results of human clinical trials. In addition, early stage clinical trial results do not ensure success in later stage clinical trials, and interim trial results are not necessarily predictive of final trial results.

To date, Amorcyte has not completed the development of any products through regulatory approval. While Amorcyte and others have analyzed the potential of AMR-001 in preclinical studies with animals, the potential efficacy of AMR-001 in humans has only been evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial. The results of preclinical studies evaluating AMR-001 in animals may not be predictive of results in a clinical trial involving a small number of human subjects. Likewise, the outcomes of early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials. The safety and efficacy data from Amorcyte’s anticipated Phase 2 clinical trials of AMR-001 may be less favorable than the data observed in the Phase 1 clinical trial of this product candidate, which was based on smaller numbers of patients. There can be no assurances that the clinical trials of any product candidate of Amorcyte will ultimately be successful. New information regarding the safety and efficacy of such product candidate may be less favorable than the data observed to date.

-25-

Amorcyte may experience delays in enrolling patients in its clinical trials, which could delay or prevent the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.

Amorcyte may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials of AMR-001 (or any future product candidate) if Amorcyte is unable to locate and enroll a sufficient number of eligible patients to participate in the clinical trials required by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. Amorcyte may also be unable to engage a sufficient number of clinical trial sites to conduct its trials. The challenge of enrolling patients will become more difficult if Amorcyte is required by the FDA or a similar regulatory agency outside the United States to conduct a trial on a larger population than it currently anticipates. In that event, Amorcyte might be required to seek patients to participate in its trials from Europe or other foreign jurisdictions, which could raise regulatory uncertainties and increase clinical trial costs. Moreover, because PCT does not currently have FDA registered manufacturing facilities outside of the United States, Amorcyte’s ability to conduct trials outside of the U.S. may be constrained by the capability of transporting trial materials to foreign destinations within the expiry period of such materials.

Amorcyte and its investigators may also face challenges in enrolling patients to participate in Amorcyte’s clinical trials due to the novelty of its stem cell-based therapies. Some patients may have concerns regarding stem cells that may negatively affect their perception of therapies under development and their decision to enroll in the trials. Furthermore, patients suffering from diseases within target indications may enroll in competing clinical trials, which could negatively affect Amorcyte’s ability to complete enrollment of its trials.

Additional factors that may affect the ability of Amorcyte to enroll patients in clinical trials include:

the size of the patient population;

patients’ willingness to receive a placebo or other inactive control on the control arm of a clinical study;

the distance between patients and clinical test sites; and

the eligibility criteria for the trial.

Enrollment delays in clinical trials may result in increased development costs for product candidates, and inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for any current or future clinical trials would result in significant delays or may require one or more clinical trials to be abandoned altogether.

The cell sorting system Amorcyte intends to use in the Phase 2 clinical trial is owned by an unaffiliated third party.

Amorcyte intends to purchase from a third party the essential cell sorting system that it expects to use in its planned Phase 2 clinical trial of AMR-001. Amorcyte currently does not have any agreement in place permitting it to use this system. Moveover, Amorcyte will need to provide FDA with certain information regarding the design, use and operation of a device. The unavailability of the system, for any reason, would have a material adverse effect on Amorcyte’s AMR-001 product development and commercialization efforts. Although there are other available systems in the marketplace, Amorcyte has not evaluated their costs or safety and effectiveness, or whether AMR-001 would be compatible with such systems. Moreover, if the system becomes unavailable during or after Phase 2, Amorcyte would need to demonstrate that the Phase 2 data obtained with this system are still relevant to future trials with other systems.

Amorcyte has relied in the past, and expects to continue to rely, on research institutions, treatment centers, and contracted resources to conduct and oversee clinical trials of AMR-001, and in some case, to maintain regulatory files for the product candidate. If Amorcyte is not able to secure and maintain agreements with suitable research institutions, treatment centers, or contracted resources on acceptable terms to conduct and/or oversee its clinical trials, if these institutions do not perform as required, or if these institutions fail to timely transfer files/data held by them to Amorcyte, then Amorcyte may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for, or commercialize, its product candidates.

-26-

With respect to its planned Phase 2 clinical trial of AMR-001, Amorcyte holds the IND and will rely on additional entities to conduct the clinical trial. Amorcyte expects to enroll patients in its clinical trials of AMR-001 at numerous trial sites across the United States. The reliance of Amorcyte upon research institutions, hospitals and clinics provides Amorcyte with less control over the timing and cost of clinical trials and the ability to recruit subjects. If Amorcyte is unable to enter into and maintain agreements with these entities on acceptable terms, or if any engagement is terminated, Amorcyte may be unable to enroll patients on a timely basis or otherwise conduct its clinical trials in the manner it anticipates.

In addition, there is no guarantee that these entities or any other third parties, including contracted entities for clinical monitoring and operations, imaging support, data management and biostatistics, upon which Amorcyte relies for administration and conduct of clinical trials, will devote adequate time and resources to the clinical trials or perform as required by contract or in accordance with regulatory requirements. If these third parties fail to meet expected deadlines, fail to adhere to the clinical protocols or fail to act in accordance with regulatory requirements, or if they otherwise perform in a substandard manner, clinical trials of Amorcyte product candidates may be extended, delayed or terminated, and as a result Amorcyte may not be able to commercialize AMR-001 or other future product candidates.

If the potential of product candidates to address the indications that Amorcyte is pursuing is not realized, or if Amorcyte is unable to demonstrate in clinical trials that AMR-001 is safe and effective for the indications pursued, the value of Amorcyte’s technology and its development programs could be significantly reduced.

Amorcyte is currently exploring the potential of AMR-001 to address certain targeted cardiovascular indications, and Amorcyte may in the future study the safety and efficacy of other product candidates, which may also be based on CD34+ cell technology. AMR-001 and the underlying CD34+/CXCR-4+ cell technology is still in early stages of discovery and development, and Amorcyte has not proven in clinical trials that its product candidate will be safe and effective for the indications for which Amorcyte intends to seek approval. AMR-001 (and potential future Amorcyte product candidates) are susceptible to various risks, including undesirable and unintended side effects, inadequate therapeutic efficacy or other characteristics that may prevent or limit their marketing approval or commercial use. Amorcyte has not treated a sufficient number of patients to allow Amorcyte to evaluate the most frequent or most serious adverse events that could occur with AMR-001. Any undesirable side effects that might be caused by AMR-001 (or future product candidates) could interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials and could result in the denial of regulatory approval by the FDA or other regulatory authorities for any or all targeted indications. Amorcyte could also be required to change the manner in which a product candidate is administered, which could require that additional clinical trials be conducted. If the potential of AMR-001 and the CD34+/CXCR-4+ technology is not realized, whether as a result of unintended consequences or otherwise, the value of Amorcyte’s technology and development programs could be significantly reduced.

Risks Related to the Commercialization of Amorcyte’s Product Candidate

Amorcyte’s product candidate is based on novel stem cell technologies that are inherently risky and may not be understood or accepted by the marketplace.

Amorcyte is subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development and commercialization of therapeutic products based on new technologies. The novel nature of Amorcyte’s therapeutics based on adult stem cells creates significant challenges with regards to product development and optimization, manufacturing, government regulation, third-party reimbursement and market acceptance. For example, the FDA has relatively limited experience regulating therapies based on adult stem cells, and there are few approved treatments utilizing stem cells.

Even if Amorcyte successfully develops and obtains regulatory approval for AMR-001 or any future product candidate, the market may not understand or accept them, which could adversely affect future sales. The degree of market acceptance of any such product candidates will depend on a number of factors, including:

•

the clinical safety and effectiveness of the product candidates, the availability of alternative treatments and the perceived advantages of the particular Amorcyte product candidates over alternative treatments;

•

the relative convenience and ease of administration of the product candidates;

•

the ability of Amorcyte to separate the product candidates, which are based on adult stem cells, from the ethical and political controversies associated with stem cell product candidates derived from human embryonic or fetal tissue;

-27-

•

ethical concerns that may arise regarding our commercial use of stem cells, including adult stem cells, in the manufacture of the product candidates;

•

the frequency and severity of adverse events or other undesirable side effects involving the product candidates or the products or product candidates of others that are stem cell-based; and

•

the cost of the products, the reimbursement policies of government and third-party payors and the ability of Amorcyte to obtain sufficient third-party coverage or reimbursement.

Amorcyte faces substantial competition, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing products before or more successfully than they do.

The cell therapy industry is subject to rapid and intense technological change. Amorcyte faces, and will continue to face, intense competition from pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as numerous academic and research institutions and governmental agencies engaged in drug discovery activities or funding, both in the United States and abroad. Some of these competitors are pursuing the development of drugs and other therapies that target the same diseases and conditions that Amorcyte is targeting with its product candidate AMR-001.

Amorcyte’s product candidates generally target patients without other revascularization options. Therefore, Amorcyte does not believe that its product candidates will compete directly with pharmaceutical therapies being developed to treat less severe stages of Amorcyte’s target indications. However, to the extent that therapies are developed that reverse the progression of the ischemic damage or improve blood flow, they could have the effect of reducing demand for Amorcyte’s product candidates. In addition, because Amorcyte’s product candidates require the removal of bone marrow from the patient, potential competing products that do not require this invasive procedure may have a competitive advantage against Amorcyte products. New pharmaceutical agents or devices that improve the repair of cardiac injury after a heart attack, with the result that fewer patients develop ischemic heart failure, would also represent a competitive threat for AMR-001. Furthermore, cell-based therapies, such as skeletal myoblasts, bone marrow-derived stem cells and adipose cells are being pursued by companies such as Aastrom Biosciences, Inc., Angioblast Systems, Inc., Athersys, Inc., Pluristem Therapeutics, Inc., ReNeuron Group, Stemedica Cell Technologies Inc. and Bioheart, Inc. Some other companies, such as Cytori and Miltenyi, are developing devices to facilitate the production of therapeutic cell populations by clinicians for the treatment of Amorcyte’s target indications. Such devices may be approved by the FDA under a less rigorous regulatory process, and less extensive clinical testing and manufacturing controls than Amorcyte is required to pursue for AMR-001. Development and approval of such a device on the basis of this more limited dataset may take less time than development of AMR-001 and substantially affect Amorcyte’s ability to market its product candidate if approved.

Amorcyte may also face competition in the future from other companies that are researching and developing stem cell therapies. Amorcyte is aware of many companies working in this area. Many of the companies competing against Amorcyte have financial and other resources substantially greater than Amorcyte’s. In addition, many of these competitors have significantly greater experience in testing pharmaceutical and other therapeutic products, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals of products, and marketing and selling those products. If Amorcyte obtains necessary regulatory approval and commences significant commercial sales of any products, Amorcyte will also be competing with respect to manufacturing efficiency and marketing capabilities, areas in which Amorcyte has limited or no commercial-scale experience. Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries may result in even more resources being concentrated by Amorcyte’s competitors. Competition may increase further as a result of advances made in the commercial applicability of Amorcyte technologies and greater availability of capital for investment in these fields.

As a result, competitors of Amorcyte may:

•

develop products that are safer or more effective than Amorcyte’s;

•

obtain FDA and other regulatory approvals or reach the market with their products more rapidly than Amorcyte can, reducing the potential sales of Amorcyte product candidates;

•

develop new or improved technologies and scientific advances;

•

obtain patent protection that could impact the ability of Amorcyte to market its product candidates;

-28-

•

devote greater resources to market or sell their products;

•

initiate or withstand substantial price competition more successfully than Amorcyte can;

•

recruit skilled scientific workers from the limited pool of available talent; and

•

take advantage of acquisition or other opportunities more readily than Amorcyte can.

The successful commercialization of AMR-001 (and any future Amorcyte product candidates), if any, will depend on obtaining reimbursement from third-party payors.

If it successfully obtains the necessary regulatory approvals, Amorcyte intends to sell AMR-001 initially in the United States. In the United States, the market for any pharmaceutical or biologic product is affected by the availability of reimbursement from third-party payors, such as government health administration authorities, private health insurers, health maintenance organizations and pharmacy benefit management companies. Amorcyte anticipates that AMR-001 and any future products, if approved, will be expensive. If Amorcyte cannot demonstrate a favorable cost-benefit relationship, it may have difficulty obtaining adequate reimbursement for Amorcyte products from these payors. Third-party payors may also deny coverage or offer inadequate levels of reimbursement for any potential product if they determine that the product is experimental, unnecessary or inappropriate.

Should Amorcyte seek to expand its commercialization internationally, it would be subject to the regulations of the European Union and other countries, where the pricing of prescription pharmaceutical products and services and the level of government reimbursement may be subject to governmental control. In these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take six to twelve months or longer after the receipt of marketing approval for a product. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, Amorcyte may be required to conduct one or more clinical trials that compares the cost effectiveness of the respective product candidate or product to other available therapies. Conducting one or more of these clinical trials would be expensive and result in delays in commercialization of the products.

Managing and reducing healthcare costs has become a major priority of federal and state governments in the United States. As a result of healthcare reform efforts, Amorcyte might become subject to future regulations or other cost-control initiatives that materially restrict the price that Amorcyte can receive for its products. Third-party payors may also limit access and reimbursement for newly approved healthcare products generally or limit the indications for which they will reimburse patients who use any products that Amorcyte may develop. Cost control initiatives could decrease the price for products that Amorcyte may develop, which would result in lower product revenues to Amorcyte.

In the event of regulatory approval, Amorcyte may not be able to manufacture AMR-001 at commercial scale (or any other product that may be approved) in compliance with evolving regulatory standards or in quantities sufficient for commercial sale.

Components of therapeutic products approved for commercial sale or used in late-stage clinical trials must be manufactured in accordance with current good manufacturing practices, or cGMP, as required by the FDA. Manufacturers of cell-based product candidates such as AMR-001 also must comply with the FDA’s current good tissue practices, or cGTP. In addition, Amorcyte may be required to modify its manufacturing process from time to time for its product candidates in response to FDA requests. Manufacture of live cellular-based products is complex and subjects Amorcyte to significant regulatory burdens that may change over time. Amorcyte may encounter difficulties in the production of its product candidates due to its limited manufacturing experience. Although Amorcyte has negotiated an Amended and Restated Cell Processing Agreement with PCT, whereby PCT is engaged as Amorcyte’s exclusive provider of all cell processing services, Amorcyte (through PCT) may not have sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet any commercial demand that might develop should AMR-001demonstrate efficacy, receive necessary approvals and be cleared for commercialization. These difficulties could reduce sales of Amorcyte products, if any are approved for marketing, increase costs or cause production delays, any of which could damage the reputation and hurt the profitability of Amorcyte.

-29-

Amorcyte expects that it would need to significantly expand its manufacturing capabilities to meet potential demand for any products that might attain regulatory approval. Such expansion would require additional regulatory approvals. Amorcyte may also encounter difficulties in the commercial-scale manufacture that may be required following any regulatory approval. Amorcyte and PCT are currently developing new processes and are in discussions with other companies to develop new instruments to improve manufacturing efficiency. Improving the speed and efficiency of Amorcyte’s manufacturing process (through PCT) and the cell sorters and other instruments PCT uses in connection with Amorcyte production is a key element of Amorcyte’ business plan. Neither Amorcyte nor PCT can provide assurances that it will be able to develop process enhancements that are acceptable to the FDA, on a timely basis, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If they fail to develop these improvements, Amorcyte could face significantly higher capital expenditures than it anticipates, increased facility and personnel costs and other increased operating expenses. Amorcyte may need to demonstrate that product candidates manufactured using new processes or instruments are comparable to the product candidates used in clinical trials. Depending on the type and degree of differences, Amorcyte may be required to conduct additional studies or clinical trials to demonstrate comparability.

In addition, some changes in Amorcyte’s manufacturing processes or procedures, including a change in the location where a product candidate is manufactured, generally require FDA or foreign regulatory authority review and approval prior to implementation. Amorcyte may need to conduct additional preclinical studies and clinical trials to support approval of any such changes. Furthermore, this review process could be costly and time-consuming and could delay or prevent the commercialization of product candidates.

If PCT’s Allendale, New Jersey or Mountain View, California manufacturing facilities are damaged or destroyed, Amorcyte’s business and prospects would be negatively affected.

AMR-001 for Amorcyte’s clinical trials is produced by PCT at PCT’s facilities, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Cell Processing Agreement between Amorcyte and PCT. Because PCT serves as Amorcyte’s exclusive provider of all cell processing services (including production of AMR-001 for clinical trials), Amorcyte relies on PCT’s Allendale or Mountain View facilities and on the continuing suitability of PCT’s facility to provide necessary services. If PCT’s Allendale or Mountain View facilities (or the equipment therein) are significantly damaged or destroyed, Amorcyte will likely experience significant disruptions to the manufacturing capacity for AMR-001, which capacity might not be quickly or inexpensively replaced. In such a situation, Amorcyte may be required to negotiate new agreements for cell processing services, and Amorcyte may not be able to obtain terms as favorable as it obtains from PCT. In the event of a temporary or protracted loss of PCT’s facility or equipment, Amorcyte might not be able to transfer manufacturing to a third party. Even if Amorcyte could transfer manufacturing to a third party, the shift would likely be expensive and time-consuming, particularly since the new facility would need to comply with the necessary regulatory requirements and Amorcyte would need FDA approval before selling any products manufactured at that facility. Such an event could delay clinical trials or, if any Amorcyte product candidates are approved by the FDA, reduce sales of such products.

Following the Amorcyte Acquisition, NeoStem intends to institute coverage totaling $5,000,000 to cover business interruption and research and development restoration expenses prior to the initiation of Phase 2 trials. For its Allendale location, PCT maintains insurance coverage totaling $3,000,000 with respect to improvements and $600,000 for office and laboratory contents and equipment. If Amorcyte (or PCT, Amorcyte’s provider of cell processing services) has underestimated its respective insurance needs or fails to get such insurance in connection with interruption to clinical manufacturing of Amorcyte product candidates, there may not be adequate coverage for losses.

Amorcyte may use third-party collaborators to help it develop or commercialize AMR-001 or future product candidates, and Amorcyte’s ability to commercialize such candidates may be impaired or delayed if collaborations are unsuccessful.

Amorcyte may in the future selectively pursue strategic collaborations for the development and commercialization of AMR-001 or other product candidates and for the international development and commercialization of such product candidates. For example, Amorcyte anticipates that it would need to enter into a collaboration agreement with a third party to conduct and fund one or more pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials of AMR-001. In addition, Amorcyte may not be able to commercialize AMR-001 successfully without entering into an arrangement with a third party to provide an approved method of administration.

-30-

There can be no assurance that Amorcyte will be able to identify suitable collaborators or negotiate collaboration agreements on terms that are acceptable to Amorcyte, or at all. In any future third-party collaboration, Amorcyte would be dependent upon the success of the collaborators in performing their responsibilities and their continued cooperation. Such collaborators may not cooperate or perform their obligations under their agreements with Amorcyte. Amorcyte cannot control the amount and timing of its collaborators’ resources that will be devoted to performing their responsibilities under their agreements with them. Collaborators may choose to pursue alternative technologies in preference to those being developed in collaboration with Amorcyte. The development and commercialization of product candidates will be delayed if collaborators fail to conduct their responsibilities in a timely manner or in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements or if they breach or terminate their collaboration agreements. Disputes with collaborators could also result in product development delays, decreased revenues and litigation expenses.

If AMR-001 or a future Amorcyte product candidate receives marketing approval from the FDA, Amorcyte would need either to hire a sales force with expertise in biologic products or to contract with a third party to provide a sales force to meet its needs.

Amorcyte does not currently have a sales or marketing organization, and Amorcyte has no experience in the selling, marketing or distribution of biologic products, nor does NeoStem. To achieve commercial success for any product that might be approved in the future for marketing, Amorcyte would be required either to develop a sales and marketing organization or to outsource these functions to third parties.

Amorcyte (and post merger, NeoStem) may be unable to establish marketing, sales and distribution capabilities necessary to commercialize and gain market acceptance for any of its product candidates and to be competitive. In addition, co-promotion or other marketing arrangements with third parties to commercialize product candidates could significantly limit the revenues derived by Amorcyte from such product candidates, and these third parties may fail to commercialize the product candidates successfully.

Ethical and other concerns surrounding the use of stem cell-based therapy may negatively affect public perception of Amorcyte and/or its product candidates, thereby reducing potential demand for Amorcyte products.

The commercial success of Amorcyte’s product candidates, which are based on adult stem cells, will depend in part on general public acceptance of the use of stem cell-based therapy for the prevention or treatment of human diseases. The use of embryonic stem cells and fetal tissue for research and stem cell therapy has been the subject of substantial national and international debate regarding related ethical, legal and social issues. Although Amorcyte does not use embryonic stem cells or fetal tissue in any product candidate, the public may not be able to, or may fail to, differentiate Amorcyte’s use of adult stem cells from the use by others of embryonic stem cells or fetal tissue. This could result in a negative perception of Amorcyte’s product candidates.

The use of Amorcyte’s product candidates in human subjects may expose Amorcyte to product liability claims, for which Amorcyte may not be able to obtain adequate insurance.

Amorcyte faces an inherent risk of product liability exposure related to the testing of its product candidates in human clinical trials and will face an even greater risk if Amorcyte commercially sells any products that it may develop following requisite approvals therefor. No Amorcyte product candidate (including AMR-001) has been widely used over an extended period of time, and therefore safety data is limited. Amorcyte derives the raw materials for manufacturing of its product candidates from human cell sources, and therefore the manufacturing process and handling requirements are extensive, which increases the risk of quality failures and subsequent product liability claims.

Amorcyte intends to obtain product liability insurance upon initiation of the Phase 2 clinical trial with an aggregate limit of $5.0 million for its product candidates that are in clinical testing. Amorcyte will need to increase its insurance coverage when it begins commercializing its product candidates, if ever. Amorcyte may not be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms with adequate coverage or at all. If Amorcyte is unable to obtain and maintain adequate insurance, or if claims against Amorcyte substantially exceed its coverage, then Amorcyte’s financial position could be significantly impaired.

Whether or not Amorcyte is ultimately successful in any product liability litigation, such litigation could consume substantial amounts of Amorcyte’s financial and managerial resources and could result in:

•

decreased demand for any products or product candidates it may develop;

•

significant awards against it;

-31-

•

substantial litigation costs;

•

injury to its reputation; and

•

withdrawal of clinical trial participants.

Risks Related to Amorcyte’s Intellectual Property

If Amorcyte’s patent position does not adequately protect its product candidates or any future products, others could compete against Amorcyte more directly, which would harm Amorcyte’s businesses.

The success of Amorcyte depends, in large part, on its ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for its product candidates. Issued patents may be challenged by third parties, resulting in patents being deemed invalid, unenforceable or narrowed in scope, or a third party may circumvent any such issued patents. The patent position of biotechnology companies is generally highly uncertain, involves complex legal and factual questions and has been the subject of much litigation and recent court decisions introduce uncertainty in the strength of patents owned by biotechnology companies. The legal systems of some foreign countries do not favor the aggressive enforcement of patents, and the laws of foreign countries may not protect Amorcyte’s rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Therefore, any patents that Amorcyte owns or licenses may not provide sufficient protection against competitors.

The claims of the issued patents, and the claims of any patents which may issue in the future and be owned by or licensed to Amorcyte, may not confer on Amorcyte significant commercial protection against competing products. Also, any pending patent applications may not issue, and Amorcyte may not receive any additional patents. The patents might not contain claims that are sufficiently broad to prevent others from utilizing the covered technologies. For instance, patents relating to Amorcyte’s AMR-001 product candidate are limited to isolation of a nonexpanded population of autologous mononuclear cells enriched for CD34+ cells, which further contains a subpopulation of potent CD34+/CXCR-4+ cells that have CXCR-4-mediated chemotactic activity. Consequently, Amorcyte’s competitors may independently develop competing products that do not infringe Amorcyte’s patents or other intellectual property. To the extent a competitor can develop similar products using a different chemistry, these patents will not prevent others from directly competing with Amorcyte.

Because of the extensive time required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product, it is possible that, before any Amorcyte product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent may expire or remain in force for only a short period following commercialization of such product candidates, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent. For instance, one of Amorcyte’s patents relating to its technology will expire in 2028, subject to extension of the patent term for regulatory delay for any approved product for which Amorcyte is eligible. To the extent Amorcyte’s product candidates based on that technology are not commercialized significantly ahead of this date, or to the extent Amorcyte has no other patent protection on such product candidates, those product candidates would not be protected by patents beyond 2028 and Amorcyte would then rely solely on other forms of exclusivity, such as regulatory exclusivity provided by the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which may provide less protection of Amorcyte’s competitive position.

Similar considerations apply in any other country where Amorcyte is prosecuting patents, has been issued patents, or has licensed patents or patent applications relating to its technology. The laws of foreign countries may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do laws of the United States.

If Amorcyte is unable to protect the confidentiality of its proprietary information and know-how, Amorcyte’s competitive position would be impaired.

A significant amount of Amorcyte’s technology, especially regarding manufacturing processes, is unpatented and is maintained as trade secrets. The background technologies used in the development of Amorcyte’s product candidates are known in the scientific community, and it is possible to duplicate the methods that Amorcyte uses to create its product candidates. In an effort to protect these trade secrets, Amorcyte requires its employees, consultants and contractors to execute confidentiality agreements. These agreements require that all confidential information developed by the individual or made known to the individual by the disclosing company during the course of the individual’s relationship with such company be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties. These agreements, however, may not provide Amorcyte with adequate protection against improper use or disclosure of confidential information, and these agreements may be breached. Adequate remedies may not exist in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information. A breach of confidentiality could affect Amorcyte’s competitive position. In addition, in some situations, these agreements may conflict with, or be subject to, the rights of third parties with whom employees, consultants, collaborators or advisors have previous employment or consulting relationships. Also, others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to Amorcyte’s trade secrets. The disclosure of Amorcyte’s trade secrets would impair Amorcyte’s competitive position.

-32-

If Amorcyte infringes or is alleged to infringe intellectual property rights of third parties, Amorcyte’s business may be adversely affected.

The research, development and commercialization activities of Amorcyte, including any product candidates resulting from these activities, may infringe or be claimed to infringe patents or other proprietary rights owned by third parties and to which Amorcyte does not hold licenses or other rights. There may be applications that have been filed but not published that, when issued, could be asserted against Amorcyte. These third parties could bring claims against Amorcyte that would cause Amorcyte to incur substantial expenses and, if successful, could cause Amorcyte to pay substantial damages. Further, if a patent infringement suit were brought against Amorcyte, Amorcyte could be forced to stop or delay research, development, manufacturing or sales of the product or product candidate that is the subject of the suit.

Amorcyte has not conducted an exhaustive search or analysis of third-party patent rights to determine whether its research, development or commercialization activities, including any product candidates resulting from these activities, may infringe or be alleged to infringe any third-party patent rights.

As a result of intellectual property infringement claims, or in order to avoid potential claims, Amorcyte may choose, or be required, to seek a license from the third party. These licenses may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Even if Amorcyte is able to obtain a license, the license would likely obligate the licensee to pay license fees or royalties or both, and the rights granted to the licensee might be nonexclusive, which could result in competitors gaining access to the same intellectual property. Ultimately, Amorcyte could be prevented from commercializing a product, or be forced to cease some aspect of its business operations, if, as a result of actual or threatened patent infringement claims, Amorcyte is unable to enter into licenses on acceptable terms. All of the issues described above could also affect potential collaborators to the extent Amorcyte has any collaborations then in place, which would also affect the success of the collaboration and therefore the success of Amorcyte.

There has been substantial litigation and other proceedings regarding patent and other intellectual property rights in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. In addition to infringement claims, Amorcyte may become a party to other patent litigation and other proceedings, including interference or reexamination proceedings declared by the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office and opposition proceedings in the European Patent Office, regarding intellectual property rights with respect to its product candidates and technology. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the ability of Amorcyte to compete in the marketplace.

Amorcyte may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce patents (including the patents of potential collaborators or licensors), which could be expensive and time consuming.

Competitors may infringe patents held by, or the patents of the respective potential collaborators or licensors of, Amorcyte. As a result, Amorcyte may be required to file infringement claims to counter infringement or unauthorized use. The cost of any patent litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in Amorcyte’s favor, could be substantial. Some of Amorcyte’s competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than Amorcyte can because of their substantially greater financial resources. Patent litigation and other proceedings may also absorb significant management time. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent is not valid or is unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that patents used by Amorcyte do not cover Amorcyte’s technology. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could put one or more of such patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could put patent applications at risk of not issuing. Amorcyte is aware of several companies that are employing stem cell sorting technology in their research and product development efforts. If these companies commercialize products that use cell sorting technology similar to that of Amorcyte, there can be no assurance that Amorcyte would have a basis for initiating patent infringement proceedings or that if initiated they would prevail in such proceedings.

-33-

Interference proceedings conducted within the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office may be necessary to determine the priority of inventions with respect to our patent applications or those of Amorcyte’s potential collaborators or licensors. Litigation or interference proceedings may fail and, even if successful, may result in substantial costs and distraction to Amorcyte’s management. Amorcyte may not be able, alone or with its potential collaborators and licensors, to prevent misappropriation of its proprietary rights, particularly in countries where the laws may not protect such rights as fully as in the United States.

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of Amorcyte’s confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, during the course of this kind of litigation, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments.

Amorcyte relies on its ability to stop others from competing by enforcing its patents; however, some jurisdictions may require patent holders to grant licenses to third parties. Such compulsory licenses could be extended to include Amorcyte’s product candidates including AMR-001, which may limit potential revenue opportunities of Amorcyte.

Many countries, including some countries in Europe, have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In addition, most countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may be limited to monetary relief and may be unable to enjoin infringement, which could materially diminish the value of the patent. Compulsory licensing of life-saving products is also becoming increasingly popular in developing countries, either through direct legislation or international initiatives. Such compulsory licenses could be extended to include Amorcyte’s respective product candidates, which may limit Amorcyte’s potential revenue opportunities, including with respect to any future revenues which may result from AMR-001.

Risks Related to Regulatory Approval and Other Government Regulations

Amorcyte’s business and product candidates are subject to extensive regulatory scrutiny. If Amorcyte is not able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for AMR-001 or future product candidates, Amorcyte may not generate sufficient revenues to continue its business operations.

Amorcyte’s product candidates, and the activities associated with their development and commercialization, including their testing, manufacture, safety, efficacy, recordkeeping, labeling, storage, approval, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution, are subject to comprehensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory agencies in the United States and by comparable authorities in states and in other countries. The failure of Amorcyte to obtain regulatory approval for a product candidate will prevent Amorcyte from commercializing the product candidate. Amorcyte has not received regulatory approval to market AMR-001 or any other product candidate in any jurisdiction. Securing FDA approval typically requires the submission of extensive preclinical and clinical data and supporting information to the FDA for each therapeutic indication to establish the product candidate’s safety and efficacy. Securing FDA approval also requires the submission of information about the product manufacturing process to, and inspection of manufacturing facilities by, the FDA. AMR-001 and Amorcyte’s future products may not be effective, may be only moderately effective or may prove to have undesirable or unintended side effects, toxicities or other characteristics that may preclude the obtaining of regulatory approval or may prevent or limit commercial use.

The process of obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals is expensive, often takes many years, if approval is obtained at all, and can vary substantially based upon a variety of factors, including the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidates involved and challenges by competitors. In Amorcyte’s case, because all of its product candidates are based on its CD34+ stem cell technology, any adverse events in Amorcyte’s clinical trials of one of its product candidates could negatively affect the clinical trials and approval process for Amorcyte’s other product candidates. Changes in regulatory approval policies during the development period, changes in or the enactment of additional statutes or regulations, or changes in regulatory review for each submitted product application, may cause delays in the approval or rejection of an application or may make it easier for Amorcyte’s competitors to gain regulatory approval to enter the marketplace. The FDA has substantial discretion in the approval process and may refuse to accept any application or may decide that Amorcyte’s data are insufficient for approval and require additional preclinical, clinical or other studies. In addition, varying agency interpretations of the data obtained from preclinical and clinical testing could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval of a product candidate. Any regulatory approval Amorcyte ultimately obtains may be limited or subject to restrictions or post-approval commitments that render the approved product not commercially viable.

-34-

Any of the following factors, among others, may cause regulatory approval for Amorcyte’s product candidates to be delayed, limited or denied:

•

Amorcyte’s product candidates require significant clinical testing to demonstrate safety and effectiveness before applications for marketing approval can be filed with the FDA;

•

data obtained from preclinical and nonclinical animal testing and clinical trials can be interpreted in different ways, and the FDA may not agree with Amorcyte’s respective interpretations or may require it to conduct additional testing;

•

it may take many years to complete the testing of product candidates, and failure can occur at any stage of the process;

•

negative or inconclusive results or the occurrence of serious or unexpected adverse events during a clinical trial could cause Amorcyte to delay or terminate development efforts for a product candidate; and

•

commercialization may be delayed if the FDA requires any expansion of the size and scope of the clinical trials.

Any difficulties that Amorcyte encounters in obtaining regulatory approval could have a substantial adverse impact on Amorcyte’s ability to generate product sales, and could make any search for a collaborative partner more difficult.

If Amorcyte or any of its investigators are not able to conduct the clinical trials of its product candidates in accordance with regulations and accepted standards, and on schedule, regulatory approval by the FDA and other regulatory authorities may be delayed or denied.

To obtain marketing approvals for its product candidates in the United States, Amorcyte must, among other requirements, complete adequate and well-controlled clinical trials sufficient to demonstrate to the FDA that the product candidate is safe and effective, for each indication for which approval is sought. Several factors could prevent completion or cause significant delay of these trials, including an inability to enroll the required number of patients or failure to demonstrate adequately that Amorcyte’s product candidates are safe and effective for use in humans. Negative or inconclusive results from, or serious adverse events during, a clinical trial could cause the clinical trial to be repeated or a development program to be terminated, even if other studies or trials relating to the program are successful. A serious adverse event is an event that results in significant medical consequences, such as hospitalization, disability or death, and must be reported to the FDA. Amorcyte cannot predict whether safety concerns regarding its product candidates will or will not develop. The FDA can place a clinical trial on hold if, among other reasons, it finds that patients enrolled in the trial are or would be exposed to an unreasonable and significant risk of illness or injury. If safety concerns develop, Amorcyte may, or the FDA or an institutional review board may require Amorcyte to, stop the affected trials before completion.

One treatment group subject in the AMR-001 Phase 1 study died soon after cell infusion from ventricular fibrillation that was attributed to recurrent myocardial infarction from stent thrombosis preceding cell infusion. This subject’s death resulted in a clinical hold during the Phase 1 trial; the hold letter was dated August 31, 2007. The hold was removed upon FDA’s review of the complete documentation on the patient and changes to the enrollment process that were submitted by Amorcyte.

The completion of Amorcyte’s clinical trials may be delayed or terminated for many reasons, including if:

•

the FDA or other regulatory authority does not grant permission to proceed and places the trial on clinical hold;

-35-

•

subjects do not enroll in our clinical trials at the rate expected;

•

subjects experience an unacceptable rate or severity of adverse side effects;

•

third-party clinical investigators do not perform the clinical trials on the anticipated schedule or consistent with the clinical trial protocol, good clinical practices required by the FDA and other regulatory requirements, or other third parties do not perform data collection and analysis in a timely or accurate manner;

•

inspections of clinical trial sites by the FDA or by institutional review boards of research institutions participating in the clinical trials, reveal regulatory violations that require the sponsor of the trial to undertake corrective action, suspend or terminate one or more sites, or prohibit use of some or all of the data in support of marketing applications; or

•

the FDA or one or more institutional review boards suspends or terminates the trial at an investigational site, precludes enrollment of additional subjects or withdraws its approval of the trial.

Amorcyte’s development costs will increase if there are material delays in its clinical trials, or if Amorcyte is required to modify, suspend, terminate or repeat a clinical trial. If Amorcyte is unable to conduct its clinical trials properly and on schedule, marketing approval may be delayed or denied by the FDA.

Any product for which Amorcyte obtains marketing approval will be subject to extensive ongoing regulatory requirements, and Amorcyte may be subject to penalties if it fails to comply with regulatory requirements or if it experiences unanticipated problems with its products, when and if any of them are approved.

Any product for which Amorcyte obtains marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, post-approval clinical data, labeling, advertising and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual requirements of and review by, the FDA and comparable regulatory authorities. These requirements include submissions of safety and other post-marketing information and reports, registration requirements, cGMP and cGTP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, requirements relating to product labeling, advertising and promotion, and recordkeeping. Even if regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may be subject to additional limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to other conditions of approval. In addition, approval may contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. Discovery after approval of previously unknown problems with any such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in actions such as:

•

restrictions on such products’ manufacturing processes;

•

restrictions on the marketing of a product;

•

restrictions on product distribution;

•

requirements to conduct post-marketing clinical trials;

•

warning letters;

•

withdrawal of the products from the market;

•

refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that Amorcyte submits;

•

recall of products;

•

fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;

•

suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals;

•

refusal to permit the import or export of Amorcyte’s products;

•

product seizure;

•

injunctions; or

•

imposition of civil or criminal penalties.

-36-

Failure to obtain regulatory approval in international jurisdictions would prevent Amorcyte from marketing products abroad.

Amorcyte may in the future seek to market AMR-001 or other product candidates outside the United States. In order to market such product candidates in the European Union and many other jurisdictions, Amorcyte must submit clinical data concerning its product candidates and obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. The approval procedure varies among countries and can involve additional testing. The time required to obtain approval from foreign regulators may be longer than the time required to obtain FDA approval. The regulatory approval process outside the United States may include all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval. In addition, in many countries outside the United States, it is required that the product candidate be approved for reimbursement before it can be approved for sale in that country. In some cases this may include approval of the intended price to be charged for the product, if approved. Amorcyte may not obtain approvals from regulatory authorities outside the United States on a timely basis, or at all. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions, and approval by one regulatory authority outside the United States does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions or by the FDA, but a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one country may negatively affect the regulatory process in other countries. Amorcyte may not be able to file for regulatory approvals and may not receive necessary approvals to commercialize any products in any market and therefore may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to support its business.

Amorcyte’s business involves the use of hazardous materials that could expose the company to environmental and other liability.

The PCT facility located in Allendale, New Jersey at which Amorcyte’s cell processing functions are conducted, is subject to various local, state and federal laws and regulations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including chemicals, micro-organisms and various radioactive compounds used in connection with Amorcyte’s research and development activities. In the United States, these laws include the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Toxic Test Substances Control Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. No assurances can be given that accidental contamination or injury to employees, service providers and third parties from hazardous materials will not occur. Amorcyte does not have insurance to cover claims arising from our use and disposal of these hazardous substances.

Any regulatory exclusivity that Amorcyte may obtain upon approval of AMR-001 or any other product candidates may not adequately protect Amorcyte’s future products; accordingly, others could compete against Amorcyte more directly.

The success of Amorcyte will depend in large part on Amorcyte’s ability to obtain and maintain the regulatory exclusivity provided by the Public Health Service Act upon approval by the FDA of a biologics license application, or BLA, for its product candidates. This regulatory exclusivity is new, involves complex legal and factual questions and will likely be the subject of much litigation, and court decisions may introduce uncertainty in the enforceability or scope of regulatory exclusivity provided to an approved biologic product. Therefore, enforceability or scope of any regulatory exclusivity for an approved biologic product in the United States cannot be predicted with certainty, and may not provide sufficient protection against competitors.

Risks Related to Amorcyte’s Financial Condition

Amorcyte has experienced a history of significant recurring losses since inception. Amorcyte has limited resources to fund clinical operation and expects to continue to incur such losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve or maintain profitability.

Amorcyte has incurred losses in each year since its inception and expects to continue to experience losses over the next several years. Amorcyte’s net losses were approximately $314,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, $1,103,300 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $1,452,700 for the year ended December 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2011, Amorcyte had accumulated a deficit of approximately $9,114,800 during the development stage (i.e., since its inception on June 29, 2004).

-37-

To date, Amorcyte has financed its operations primarily through privately placed convertible stock sales. Additionally, Amorcyte received a grant of $298,200 for the funded period 2006-2007 from the State of New Jersey’s Commission on Science and Technology, and an award of $244,479 during 2010 under the federal government’s Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Program (QTDP) initiative. Amorcyte’s losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in its research and development programs and from general and administrative expenses. Amorcyte has devoted substantially all of its time, money and efforts to the research and development of its product candidates. Amorcyte has no product revenue and to date has not received regulatory approval to commercialize any of its products under development. Amorcyte has not completed development of any of its product candidates. Because of the numerous risks associated with drug and biologics development, Amorcyte is unable to predict whether its development efforts will be successful. Amorcyte’s history of recurring losses from operations, its limited capital resources to fund clinical operations, and a provision in its certificate of incorporation requiring Amorcyte to redeem its Series A Preferred Stock over a three year period if requested by a majority of the preferred stockholders, raise substantial doubt about Amorcyte’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Amorcyte expects to continue to incur significant operating expenses and anticipates that its expenses and losses will increase in the foreseeable future as Amorcyte seeks to:

•

initiate Phase 2 clinical trials of AMR-001;

•

continue to support investigator-sponsored clinical studies exploring the mechanism of action, route of administration and safety of CD34+ cells and evaluate additional clinical trials if warranted by the results and by other business considerations;

•

gain regulatory approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;

•

expand its manufacturing capabilities and capacity;

•

maintain, expand and protect its intellectual property portfolio;

•

commercialize selected products for which it may obtain regulatory approval;

•

hire additional clinical, quality control, scientific and management personnel; and

•

add operational, financial, accounting, facilities engineering and information systems personnel, consistent with expanding Amorcyte’s operations.

To become and remain profitable, Amorcyte must succeed in developing and eventually commercializing products with significant market potential. This will require Amorcyte to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including successfully completing clinical trials of AMR-001 and future product candidates, obtaining regulatory approval for product candidates and manufacturing, marketing and selling any products for which such regulatory approval may be obtained. Amorcyte is only in the preliminary stages of many of these activities. Amorcyte may never succeed in these activities and may never generate revenues that are significant or large enough to achieve profitability. Even if Amorcyte does achieve profitability, it may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. The failure of Amorcyte to become and remain profitable would depress the value of its business and could impair its ability to raise capital, expand its business or continue its operations.

Risks Related to NeoStem’s Acquisition of Amorcyte

NeoStem will need substantial additional financing to continue operations successfully. If NeoStem is unable to raise additional capital when needed, the combined company may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate one or more of its product development programs, cell therapy initiatives or commercialization efforts.

The historic NeoStem business will require additional capital to fund NeoStem’s current operating plan for NeoStem’s business, including NeoStem’s existing U.S.-based cell therapy operations (such as development of NeoStem’s VSELTM technology, the stem cell collection and storage business, and cell manufacturing and processing operations) and NeoStem’s China-based initiatives in regenerative medicine.

In addition, the Amorcyte business to be acquired by NeoStem will require significant additional financing. Amorcyte is a development stage company, with no commercial products. All of Amorcyte’s product candidates are still being developed and will require significant additional clinical development and additional investment before they can be commercialized. Amorcyte anticipates that its product candidate AMR-001 will not be commercially available for several years, if at all.

-38-

The combined company’s research and development expenses will continue to increase in connection with the ongoing activities of the Amorcyte business, particularly as the Phase 2 clinical trial commences with respect to Amorcyte product candidate AMR-001. The combined company will need to raise additional funds to initiate and complete additional trials of AMR-001 and any other Amorcyte candidates. Even if NeoStem raises additional capital, in the event Amorcyte’s Phase 2 clinical trial of AMR-001 produces positive results, it is anticipated it will be necessary to enter into one or more collaboration agreements with one or more third parties to conduct and fund additional clinical trials, including larger, potential pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials. If NeoStem is not able to enter into collaboration agreements on terms that are acceptable to NeoStem, it will need to raise additional capital to fund these trials or delay or abandon the trials. In addition, subject to obtaining regulatory approval of any of Amorcyte’s product candidates, the combined company expects to incur significant commercialization expenses for product sales and marketing.

The future capital requirements of the combined company will depend on many factors, including:

•

The scope, progress and results of NeoStem’s historic cell therapy research, development, storage and manufacturing programs (including any revenues generated by NeoStem’s subsidiary PCT);

•

the scope, progress and results of the research and preclinical development programs being conducted by Amorcyte;

•

the scope, progress, results, costs, timing and outcomes of the clinical trials of AMR-001 and any other Amorcyte product candidates;

•

the timing of entering into, and the terms of, one or more collaboration agreements with one or more third parties for one or more of such product candidates;

•

the timing of and the costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals for the combined company’s product candidates, a process which could be particularly lengthy or complex given the FDA’s limited experience with marketing approval for therapeutics using adult stem cells;

•

the costs of operating, expanding and enhancing the combined company’s manufacturing facilities and capabilities to support the combined company’s clinical activities and, if any product candidates are approved, the combined company’s commercialization activities;

•

the costs of maintaining, expanding and protecting the combined company’s intellectual property portfolio, including potential litigation costs and liabilities; and

•

revenues received from sales of the combined company’s product candidates, if approved by the FDA.

As a result of these and other factors, NeoStem currently believes that it needs to raise substantial additional funding in the near future, to finance its existing operations and those of the combined company, in particular with respect to Amorcyte’s expected Phase 2 trials. NeoStem would likely seek such funding through public or private financings or some combination of the two. The combined company may also seek funding through collaborative arrangements if NeoStem determines them to be necessary or appropriate. Additional funding may not be available to NeoStem on acceptable terms, or at all. If NeoStem obtains capital through collaborative arrangements, these arrangements could require NeoStem to relinquish rights to the combined company’s technology or product candidates and could result in NeoStem’s receiving only a portion of the revenues associated with the partnered product. If NeoStem raises capital through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it would result in dilution to NeoStem’s then existing stockholders. Issuances of NeoStem securities in connection with any capital raise may additionally cause antidilution adjustments to NeoStem’s outstanding Series E 7% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock and to the warrants issued in connection therewith. If NeoStem raises additional capital through the incurrence of indebtedness, the documents governing the terms of such debt would likely contain terms restricting NeoStem’s business activities, and holders of debt instruments would have rights and privileges senior to those of NeoStem’s equity investors. In addition, servicing the interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to support research and development, clinical or commercialization activities. In the event that NeoStem is unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, NeoStem would likely be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate one or more of its research and development programs, cell therapy programs or commercialization efforts, including without limitation NeoStem’s historic initiatives and those of the combined company.

-39-

Cash requirements of the combined company may vary materially from those now planned because of expenses relating to marketing, advertising, sales, distribution, research and development and regulatory affairs (including the expenses related to clinical trials), as well as the costs of maintaining, expanding and protecting NeoStem’s intellectual property portfolio, including potential litigation costs and liabilities. Additional financing may not be available when needed or may not be available on terms acceptable to NeoStem. The combined company's inability to obtain necessary capital or financing to fund these needs could adversely affect the combined company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Amorcyte Merger Agreement is dependent upon NeoStem and Amorcyte obtaining all relevant and necessary consents and approvals.

A condition to consummation of the Amorcyte Acquisition is that NeoStem or Amorcyte obtains certain consents or approvals from third parties. In addition, the stockholders of NeoStem must approve the issuance of NeoStem securities pursuant to the Amorcyte Merger Agreement. The stockholders of Amorcyte must approve the Amorcyte Merger Agreement and the Amorcyte Merger to be consummated pursuant thereto (and Amorcyte’s governing documents afford class voting rights to the holders of Amorcyte’s Series A Preferred Stock), but a Voting Agreement has been entered into pursuant to which holders of a sufficient number of shares of Amorcyte’s common and Series A stock have agreed to vote such shares in favor of the transactions. There can be no assurance that NeoStem or Amorcyte will be able to obtain all such relevant consents and approvals on a timely basis or at all. NeoStem has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, significant costs and expenses in connection with the proposed Amorcyte Acquisition. Any failure to obtain, or delay in obtaining, the necessary consents or approvals would prevent NeoStem from being able to consummate, or delay the consummation of, the transactions contemplated by the Amorcyte Merger Agreement, which could materially adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of NeoStem. There is no guarantee that such approvals will be obtained or that such conditions will be satisfied.

Failure to satisfy closing conditions and complete the Amorcyte Acquisition could cause NeoStem’s stock price to decline and could harm NeoStem’s business and operating results.

The Amorcyte Merger Agreement contains conditions which NeoStem or Amorcyte, respectively, must meet in order to consummate the transactions. No assurance can be given that every closing condition will be satisfied or waived. In addition, the Amorcyte Merger Agreement may be terminated by either NeoStem or Amorcyte under certain circumstances.

If the Amorcyte Acquisition is not completed for any reason, NeoStem may be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

the market price of NeoStem Common Stock may decline to the extent that the relevant current market price previously reflected a market assumption that the Amorcyte Acquisition will be completed;

many costs related to the Amorcyte Acquisition, such as legal, accounting and financial printing fees, must be paid regardless of whether the transactions completed; and

there may be substantial disruption to the business of NeoStem and distraction of its workforce and management team.

Any acquisition exposes a company to additional risks.

Acquisitions may entail numerous risks for NeoStem, including:

difficulties in assimilating acquired operations, technologies or products, including the loss of key employees and/or service providers from acquired businesses;

-40-

diversion of management’s attention from NeoStem’s core business;

risks of entering markets in which NeoStem has limited or no prior experience;

competing claims for capital resources; and

NeoStem’s management team has limited experience in purchasing and integrating new businesses.

NeoStem’s failure to successfully complete the integration of Amorcyte could have a material adverse effect on NeoStem’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Failure of the Amorcyte Merger to achieve potential benefits could harm the business and operating results of the combined company.

NeoStem and Amorcyte expect that the combination of their businesses will result in potential benefits for the combined company. Achieving these potential benefits will depend on a number of factors, some of which include:

retention of key management, marketing and technical personnel after the transactions;

the ability of the combined company to increase its customer base and to increase the sales of products and services; and

competitive conditions in the stem cell therapy industry.

The failure to achieve anticipated benefits could harm the business, financial condition and operating results of the combined company.

NeoStem’s outstanding warrants may negatively affect NeoStem’s ability to raise additional capital.

As part of the Amorcyte Merger, NeoStem will be issuing warrants to purchase up to an additional 1,881,008 shares of NeoStem Common Stock. NeoStem already had, at July 8, 2011, approximately 44,114,730 stock options and warrants outstanding. Holders of NeoStem’s outstanding warrants are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of NeoStem Common Stock. As long as these warrants are outstanding, the terms on which NeoStem could obtain additional capital may be adversely affected. The holders of these warrants might be expected to exercise them at a time when NeoStem would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital by a new offering of securities on terms more favorable than those provided by these warrants.

If the market for the combined company’s products and/or technology (including AMR-001 and any other Amorcyte product candidates) does not experience significant growth or if the combined company’s products and/or technology do not achieve broad acceptance, the combined company’s operations will suffer.

NeoStem and Amorcyte cannot accurately predict the future growth rate or the size of the market for the combined company’s products and technology. The expansion of this market depends on a number of factors, such as:

the cost, performance and reliability of the combined company’s products/technologies, and the products/technologies offered by competitors;

customers’ perceptions regarding the benefits of the combined company’s products and technologies;

public perceptions regarding the use of the combined company’s products and technologies;

customers’ satisfaction with the products and technologies; and

marketing efforts and publicity regarding the products and technologies.

-41-

While the acquisition of Amorcyte will further NeoStem’s strategy of focusing its business on cell therapies, the development and marketing of cell therapies is a new business direction for NeoStem.

Beginning with its January 2011 acquisition of PCT, NeoStem began to shift its business plan to focus on capturing the paradigm shift to cell therapies. It is anticipated that NeoStem’s acquisition of Amorcyte will help to further NeoStem’s expansion into the cell therapy field. However, NeoStem has limited experience in the areas of cell therapy development and marketing of cell therapy products, and the related regulatory issues and processes. While the current officers of PCT, including Dr. Andrew Pecora, Amorcyte’s Chief Scientific Officer, will continue to provide services to Amorcyte following the acquisition, and while Amorcyte will continue to rely on the expertise of PCT and its other current consultants and service providers, NeoStem can provide no assurances that its management will successfully oversee Amorcyte’s clinical development activities and integrate Amorcyte into the NeoStem business.

NeoStem is contemplating a possible significant change in the nature of its business.

As part of our plan to focus its business on capturing the paradigm shift to cell therapies following its January 2011 acquisition of PCT, NeoStem is pursuing strategic alternatives with respect to its 51% interest in Erye. NeoStem is planning to devote its resources and management efforts to cell therapy manufacturing and development, and other related activities, including adult stem cell collection and storage, and in further developing the Company’s regenerative medicine business in China. NeoStem believes that the proposed acquisition of Amorcyte is in keeping with NeoStem’s strategic mission. NeoStem also believes that if the Company could monetize Erye, NeoStem would have additional capital needed to pursue the development of multiple cell therapies. To that end, in June 2011, NeoStem engaged a financial advisor to lead the effort to pursue the possible divesture of its 51% interest in Erye. Marketing efforts have commenced; however, in addition to the factors set forth below, it is too early to determine whether such efforts will lead to a proposal to purchase at a price and on terms that NeoStem would consider acceptable or whether, in the event a proposal or proposals on prices and terms acceptable to NeoStem are received, whether a transaction would be completed.

Any sale of NeoStem’s interest would also be subject to a right of first refusal held by Suzhou Erye Economy & Co. Ltd. (“EET”) pursuant to the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement between a subsidiary of NeoStem and EET. EET owns the remaining 49% interest in Erye. A number of issues have arisen between EET and NeoStem with respect to the operation and financing of Erye. For instance, while EET is required to lend back to Erye dividends received by it to finance Erye’s move to its new facilities, Erye has recently reported to NeoStem that such arrangement is no longer tax efficient in light of the ratio of Erye’s shareholder loans to its registered capital. In connection with exploring ways to remedy the additional tax burden caused by the level of shareholder loans and in preparing for a sale process, other issues have also surfaced, including the issue of NeoStem and Erye needing to obtain all Chinese regulatory approvals (and associated registrations) required to reflect the legal title of NeoStem’s 51% interest in Erye as being held by the proper entity within NeoStem’s group which is its current beneficial owner as that term is used under U.S. Law. NeoStem and Erye are determining what government approvals (and associated registrations) will need to be issued by the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Foreign Investment and Commerce and the Suzhou Administration for Industry and Commerce to remediate these deficiencies. NeoStem’s management believes these regulatory deficiencies can be remediated within a reasonable period of time and should not delay a sale of NeoStem’s interest in Erye. However, no assurance can be given that any unremediated regulatory deficiencies would not have an adverse effect on the operating results and liquidity of Erye and NeoStem and will not impede or delay efforts to divest NeoStem’s interest in Erye. In addition, the remediation process is expected to trigger certain tax liabilities and penalties.

NeoStem has not yet determined to sell its interest in Erye, and will not do so until it can assess the level of interest generated, the potential price and transaction terms it might be offered and any regulatory impediments to a transaction. A sale of NeoStem’s interest in Erye, if a sale can be consummated, would have a material effect on the business, results of operations and balance sheet of NeoStem. Factors that may impede a sale may include, but not be limited to, EET’s right of first refusal and the significant time and money that exercise of such right could cause a potential purchaser, the need for any purchaser to negotiate a new Joint Venture Agreement and a shareholder loan repayment schedule with EET if EET does not wish to either sell its interest or exercise its right of first refusal, recent regulatory changes in China which reduce prices that may be charged for certain of Erye’s products and limit use of antibiotics, tax or regulatory issues affecting Erye, including those described above and other tax increases described in our filings which will adversely affect Erye going forward, availability of financing for a potential purchaser, and other factors typical of any sale process.

If the combined company is unable to manage growth in its business, its prospects may be limited and its future results of operations may be adversely affected.

The combined company intends to expand its sales and marketing programs, its manufacturing capacity, its clinical development platforms and its provision of innovative therapies as needed to meet future demand. Any significant expansion may strain the combined company’s managerial, financial and other resources. If the combined company is unable to manage its growth, its business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. The combined company will need to continually improve its operations, financial and other internal systems to manage its growth effectively, and any failure to do so may lead to inefficiencies and redundancies, and result in reduced growth prospects and diminished operational results.

Certain current officers and directors of Amorcyte beneficially own large quantities of Amorcyte capital stock. Additionally, the Amorcyte Acquisition presents conflicts of interest that may cause the transactions contemplated by the Amorcyte Merger Agreement to have consequences to NeoStem that are less favorable than might be attained in comparable transactions where such potential conflicts are absent.

The transactions contemplated by the Amorcyte Merger Agreement present potential conflicts of interest, or, at a minimum, the appearance of conflicts of interest. For example, Paul Schmitt, currently a director and the CEO of Amorcyte, is also a managing partner to the advisor of Novitas Capital III, L.P., which fund holds 3,631.5 shares of Amorcyte’s Series A Preferred Stock, representing 34.3% of the outstanding shares of such class. Darren Blanton, currently a director of Amorcyte, is also the founder and managing partner of Colt Ventures, Ltd. This entity’s ownership of 939.7 shares of Amorcyte’s Series A Preferred Stock, together with beneficial ownership of an additional 500.8 shares of Series A through two family trusts, results in Mr. Blanton having beneficial ownership of approximately 13.6% of Amorcyte’s outstanding Series A Preferred shares. Michael Starcher, an Amorcyte director, is the president of the general partner of CCP-AMOR, L.P., which fund owns 1,252.1 Series A shares of Amorcyte, resulting in Mr. Starcher’s beneficial ownership of approximately 11.8% of such class. Dr. Andrew L. Pecora, who is currently the Chief Medical Officer of Amorcyte and officer of NeoStem’s subsidiary PCT, and who it is expected will be appointed in 2011 to NeoStem’s board of directors pursuant to the agreement governing NeoStem’s acquisition of PCT, beneficially owns 58.8 Amorcyte Series A shares (0.6% of the class), 1,219.7 of Amorcyte’s common shares (15.6% of the class), and 2,270,672 shares of NeoStem Common Stock (2.7% of the class). In June and July of 2011, respectively, Novitas Capital III, L.P. and Darren Blanton, each a substantial beneficial owner of Amorcyte Series A Preferred Stock, invested $1,000,000 and $350,000, respectively, in private placements of NeoStem Common Stock.

Amorcyte was initially formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCT, and was spun off to PCT’s members in 2005. In January 2011, NeoStem acquired PCT. Certain current officers of NeoStem’s subsidiary PCT (including Dr. Pecora and Mr. Goldberger) provide services to Amorcyte pursuant to agreements with PCT. Dr. Pecora also has an oral consulting arrangement with PCT providing for compensation of $50,000 per year. NeoStem’s subsidiary PCT is Amorcyte’s exclusive provider of cell processing services, which are performed entirely at PCT’s facilities. PCT is the holder of 62.6 shares of Amorcyte Series A Preferred Stock.

-42-

These relationships create, or, at a minimum, appear to create potential conflicts of interest with respect to the Amorcyte Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, as the persons involved have been faced with (or will face, on a going-forward basis, as applicable) decisions that could have different implications for Amorcyte, NeoStem, and any other entities with which such persons are associated.

Although NeoStem and Amorcyte have both established procedures designed to ensure that material related party transactions are fair to the company, no assurance can be given as to how potentially conflicted board members or officers of either company will evaluate the fiduciary duties owed by them to NeoStem, Amorcyte, and other entities to which they may owe fiduciary duties, respectively, or how such individuals will act in such circumstances.

Furthermore, the appearance of conflicts, even if such conflicts ultimately do not harm the combined company, might adversely affect the public’s perception of the combined company’s business, as well as its relationships with existing customers, licensors, licensees, and service providers and its ability to enter into new relationships in the future.

The Amorcyte Acquisition will result in dilution of the ownership interests of current NeoStem stockholders.

As a result of the Amorcyte Acquisition, the former equity holders of Amorcyte will have the right to receive approximately 7.6% of the outstanding NeoStem Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the transactions (exclusive of the 1,881,008 shares of NeoStem common stock underlying the warrants to be issued to the Amorcyte equity holders and the maximum of 4,092,768 “Contingent Shares” that may be issued to Amorcyte equity holders in the event certain milestones specified in the Amorcyte Merger Agreement are achieved). This represents dilution of the ownership interests and voting power of the current NeoStem stockholders.

Future sales of the combined company’s common stock may depress its stock price.

The shares of NeoStem Common Stock constituting the Base Stock Consideration issued at the closing of the Amorcyte Acquisition for the benefit of Amorcyte’s former equity holders will be freely tradable in the public market once released from escrow (approximately 20% to be released six months after closing; with additional shares to be released one year after closing such that $1.25 million in shares shall remain in the escrow if no indemnification claims have been asserted by NeoStem, provided that in the event NeoStem has asserted any indemnification claims within one year following the closing, in such case an amount of shares representing $2.5 million plus the amount of pending claims shall remain in escrow remaining in escrow; and the remainder of shares to be released two years after closing). The market price of NeoStem Common Stock could fall in response to sales of a large number of shares of NeoStem Common Stock in the market after the release of the shares or in response to the perception that sales of a large number of shares could occur. In addition, these sales could create the perception by the public of difficulties or problems with NeoStem’s products and services. As a result, these sales also might make it more difficult for NeoStem to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that its board of directors deems appropriate.

Any adverse development relating to any of the combined company’s product candidates, such as a significant clinical trial failure, could substantially depress NeoStem’s stock price and prevent NeoStem from raising additional capital.

The combined company’s ability to progress as a company will be significantly dependent on its product candidates, and on clinical trials. Any clinical, regulatory or other development that significantly delays or prevents the combined company from completing any of its trials, any material safety issue or adverse side effect to any study participant in any of these trials, or the failure of these trials to show the results expected would likely depress NeoStem’s stock price significantly and could prevent NeoStem from raising the substantial additional capital the combined company will need to further develop its product candidates and technologies. Moreover, any material adverse occurrence in early-phase clinical trials could substantially impair the combined company’s ability to initiate additional clinical trials to test its product candidates, whether for new indications or otherwise. This, in turn, could adversely impact NeoStem’s ability to raise additional capital and pursue the planned research and development efforts of the combined company.

-43-

The nature of Amorcyte’s business which is being acquired by NeoStem could subject the trading prices of NeoStem Common Stock to additional volatility.

The market price of NeoStem Common Stock has been historically volatile. The stock market in general and the market for biotechnology companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The clinical trials and other development activities intended to be undertaken by the combined company may contribute to additional volatility of the market price of NeoStem Common Stock, as investors react to the results of the combined company’s clinical trials of product candidates and those of NeoStem’s competitors. In addition to the foregoing, factors that could contribute to enhanced volatility of the combined company’s stock price include:

•

regulatory or legal developments in the United States and foreign countries;

•

variations in the combined company’s financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to NeoStem;

•

changes in the structure of healthcare payment systems;

•

announcements by the combined company of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

•

market conditions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors and issuance of securities analysts’ reports or recommendations;

•

sales of substantial amounts of NeoStem Common Stock by current stockholders;

•

sales of NeoStem securities by insiders and large stockholders;

•

general economic, industry and market conditions;

•

additions or departures of key personnel;

•

intellectual property, product liability or other litigation against the combined company;

•

expiration or termination of the combined company’s potential relationships with collaborators; and

•

the other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section.

In addition, in the past stockholders have initiated class action lawsuits against biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies following periods of volatility in the market prices of these companies’ stock. Such litigation, if instituted against the combined company, could cause NeoStem to incur substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources.

Lease and Guaranty of Lease With Respect to PCT’s Mountain View Facility

On July 11, 2011, NeoStem's subsidiary Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC ("PCT") executed a Second Amendment effective July 1, 2011 (the "Second Amendment") to its existing lease dated September 1, 2005 and amended July 1, 2006 with respect to PCT's Mountain View, California cell therapy manufacturing facility (as amended by the Second Amendment, the "Lease"). The lessor under the Lease is Vanni Business Park, LLC (the "Lessor"). The Second Amendment extends the term of the Lease to June 30, 2017. Commencing July 1, 2012, the monthly base rent will be $41,289.60. The Second Amendment provides that the monthly base rent adjusts as of July 1, 2013 and each annual anniversary thereafter during the term to reflect any changes in the cost of living; provided, however, that each such annual rental adjustment will not be less than three percent (3%) or more than seven percent (7%) of the rent payable for the calendar month immediately preceding the applicable rental anniversary date. PCT is permitted to make improvements, additions and alterations to the premises as provided in the Second Amendment and subject to the terms of the Lease with the Lessor providing an Improvement Allowance equal to the lesser of $500,000 or the aggregate amount of Reimbursable Costs (as defined in the Second Amendment).

In connection with the Second Amendment, the Lessor required that NeoStem, as sole member of PCT, execute a Guaranty of Lease.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Following is a description of NeoStem’s unregistered sales of equity securities since the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:

In June and July 2011, four key Amorcyte stockholders (including funds managed by two Amorcyte directors) invested an aggregate of $1,728,000 in a private placement of 1,350,000 shares of NeoStem Common Stock (purchase price $1.28 per share).

Additionally, the Company has agreed to issue equity to certain consultants for services. Effective April 7, 2011, pursuant to a two month agreement with a media consultant, the Company agreed to issue 10,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock. Effective April 26, 2011, pursuant to a three month consulting agreement for financial public relations services, the Company agreed to issue a three year warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock at $2.50 per share vesting over the three month period. Effective May 24, 2011, pursuant to a six month agreement for investor relations and other services, the Company agreed to issue (i) 100,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock, vesting as to 50,000 shares on each of September 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011 and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock at $1.61 per share, vesting in its entirety on December 31, 2011. Effective June 15, 2011, pursuant to a three-month agreement for specified investor relations and other services, the Company agreed to issue 150,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock, vesting over the 3 month period. The issuance of all such securities to consultants is subject to the approval of the NYSE Amex.

The offer and sale of the securities described above were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act, for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The offer and sale of such securities were made without general solicitation or advertising to an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

Other Events.

Update with respect to Suzhou Erye

As part of its plan to focus its business on capturing the paradigm shift to cell therapies following its January 2011 acquisition of Progenitor Cell Therapies, LLC, the Company is pursuing strategic alternatives with respect to its 51% interest in Suzhou Erye Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Erye”), its subsidiary engaged in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The Company is planning to devote its resources and management efforts to cell therapy manufacturing and development, and other related activities, including adult stem cell collection and storage, and in further developing its regenerative medicine business in China. The Company believes the proposed acquisition of Amorcyte described elsewhere herein is in keeping with its strategic mission. The Company also believes that if it could monetize Erye, it would have additional capital needed to pursue the development of multiple cell therapies. To that end, in June 2011, the Company engaged a financial advisor to lead the effort to pursue the possible divesture of the Company’s 51% interest in Erye. Marketing efforts have commenced; however, in addition to the factors set forth below, it is too early to determine whether such efforts will lead to a proposal to purchase at a price and on terms that the Company would consider acceptable or whether, in the event a proposal or proposals on prices and terms acceptable to the Company are received, whether a transaction would be completed.

Any sale of Company’s interest would also be subject to a right of first refusal held by Suzhou Erye Economy & Co. Ltd. (“EET”) pursuant to the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement between a subsidiary of NeoStem and EET. EET owns the remaining 49% interest in Erye. A number of issues have arisen between EET and NeoStem with respect to the operation and financing of Erye. For instance, while EET is required to lend back to Erye dividends received by it to finance Erye’s move to its new facilities, Erye has recently reported to NeoStem that such arrangement is no longer tax efficient in light of the ratio of Erye’s shareholder loans to its registered capital. In connection with exploring ways to remedy the additional tax burden caused by the level of shareholder loans and in preparing for a sale process, other issues have also surfaced, including the issue of NeoStem and Erye needing to obtain all Chinese regulatory approvals (and associated registrations) required to reflect the legal title of Company’s 51% interest in Erye as being held by the proper entity within the Company’s group which is its current beneficial owner as that term is used under U.S. law. NeoStem and Erye are determining what government approvals (and associated registrations) will need to be issued by the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Foreign Investment and Commerce and the Suzhou Administration for Industry and Commerce to remediate these deficiencies. The Company’s management believes these regulatory deficiencies can be remediated within a reasonable period of time and should not delay a sale of Company’s interest in Erye. However, no assurance can be given that any unremediated regulatory deficiencies would not have an adverse effect on the operating results and liquidity of Erye and NeoStem and will not impede or delay efforts to divest Company’s interest in Erye. In addition, the remediation process is expected to trigger certain tax liabilities and penalties.

The Company has not yet determined to sell its interest in Erye, and will not do so until the Company can assess the level of interest generated, the potential price and transaction terms it might be offered and any regulatory impediments to a transaction. A sale of the Company’s interest in Erye, if a sale can be consummated, would have a material effect on the business, results of operations and balance sheet of the Company. Factors that may impede a sale may include, but not be limited to, EET’s right of first refusal and the significant time and money that exercise of such right could cause a potential purchaser, the need for any purchaser to negotiate a new Joint Venture Agreement and a shareholder loan repayment schedule with EET if EET does not wish to either sell its interest or exercise its right of first refusal, recent regulatory changes in China which reduce prices that may be charged for certain of Erye’s products and limit use of antibiotics, tax or regulatory issues affecting Erye, including those described above and other tax increases described in the Company’s filings which will adversely affect Erye going forward, availability of financing for a potential purchaser, and other factors typical of any sale process.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Amorcyte, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Amorcyte, Inc. (a development stage company) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2010, the related statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Amorcyte, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A [2] to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and limited capital resources to fund clinical operations. In addition, under the Company’s articles of incorporation, the Company may be required to redeem its preferred stock over a three year period if requested by a majority of the preferred stockholders. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note A [2].

AMORCYTE, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)

Notes To Financial Statements

Note A - Nature Of Operations And Liquidity

[1]	Nature of Operations:

Amorcyte, Inc. (“Amorcyte” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on June 29, 2004 and began to organize its operations thereafter. Amorcyte was initially formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC (“PCT”), and was spun off to PCT’s Members during 2005. See Note H for description of PCT related transactions.

Amorcyte is engaged in the development of bone marrow derived stem cell therapies to treat a variety of cardiovascular diseases. The Company is conducting Phase I clinical trials and is subject to the regulatory risks associated with drug development activities and requirements of the United States Food and Drug Administration.

[2]	Going Concern:

The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net operating losses since its inception, has no product revenue and has not received regulatory approval to commercialize products under development. In addition, under the Company’s articles of incorporation, the Company may be required to redeem its preferred stock over a three year period if requested by a majority of the preferred stockholders. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. To date, the Company has funded its operations with the sale of preferred stock to investors. The Company’s continued deployment in support of its planned research and growth will require substantial future expenditures. There can be no assurance that the Company's research and development will be successfully completed, that any products developed will obtain necessary United States Food and Drug Administration regulatory approval or that any approved products or services will be commercially viable. The Company can make no assurances that investors will continue to fund the Company. Failure to receive sufficient funding will require the Company to modify, delay or abandon some of its future expenditures so that it can continue to meet its obligations. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may result from this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note L, the Company is negotiating the terms of a merger whereby it may be acquired by NeoStem, Inc.

[3]	Basis of Presentation:

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. From its inception the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets, commencing a Phase I clinical trial, and raising capital. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC 915: “Development Stage Entities”.

The financial statements as of March 31, 2011 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are unaudited and have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of annual results or any other period.

AMORCYTE, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)

Notes To Financial Statements

Note B – Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

[1]	Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments which have maturities of three months or less, when acquired, to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.

[2]	Concentration of Credit Risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. At various times during a fiscal year, the Company’s cash in bank balances exceeded the federally insured limits.

[3]	Fixed Assets:

Laboratory, office equipment, and computers are stated at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in operations.

[4]	Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for its income taxes using ASC 740: “Income Taxes”, which requires the establishment of a deferred tax asset or liability for the recognition of future deductible or taxable amounts and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Valuation reserves are used to offset deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the realization of those tax assets. Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of the changes in the assets and liabilities during the year.

The Company also follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC Topic 740-10, Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This Topic prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Topic also provides guidance on de–recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company recognizes tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions in the year such determination is made when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Company’s tax positions for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2010) and concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expense is required in these financial statements.

[5]	Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include useful lives of fixed assets and intangibles and valuation of the Company’s equity-based instruments. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

[6]	Equity-Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock options and other stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718: “Stock Compensation”. In general, ASC 718 requires that compensation cost relating to all share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, be recognized in the historical financial statements over applicable service periods. The measurement of the amount to be recognized is based on the fair value at the grant date of the share-based instrument recorded. The accounting for grants to nonemployees is governed under ASC 505-50: “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”, which states that share-based payment awards to nonemployees should be measured based on the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the award, whichever can be estimated more reliably.

The Company had insufficient historical data to utilize in determining its expected life assumption and therefore used the simplified method for determining expected life that is described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107. The simplified method is used when companies have difficulty making an estimate of the expected term and under this method the expected term would equal the vesting term plus the contractual term divided by two. For the Special Award, the full contractual term of 10 years was used. Additionally, the Company had no historical data to determine expected volatility and therefore estimated its volatility assumptions based on the volatility of comparable companies. The Company did not calculate the forfeiture rate for the stock options since there were only six issued to board members and key members of management and no forfeiture is forecasted.

[7]	Research and development:

Research and development costs including costs of licenses and costs related to patent fees and applications are charged to expense as incurred.

[8]	Subsequent events:

The Companies have evaluated events after December 31, 2010, and through June 23, 2011, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and determined that any events or transactions occurring during this period that would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these financial statements.

[9]	New Accounting Pronouncements:

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU No. 2010-06)

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which amends Subtopic 820-10. ASU 2010-06 enhances disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Certain provisions of ASU 2010-06 are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and others for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company has adopted the relevant provisions of ASU 2010-06 and has incorporated new disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Deferred compensation principally consists of compensation payable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. He and the Company had agreed to defer payment of a portion of his compensation (annual compensation is $285,000 per annum through December 31, 2010) until such time as the Company had raised sufficient funds through its Series B Preferred Stock capital raise which was never initiated.

Note E – Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

In connection with a preferred stock offering dated March 24, 2008, the Company is authorized to sell an aggregate of 8,779 shares ($.001 par value) of redeemable convertible preferred stock, designated as “Series A Preferred Stock” at $798.65 per share. The Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation several times through September 2006 to increase its total number of authorized shares of preferred stock par value $0.001 per share to 11,000 shares. The Board of Directors of the Company subsequently authorized the sale of additional shares of its Series A preferred stock.

Preferred stockholders vote on an “as if converted to common stock” basis for all items, except that such shareholders also have certain protective voting rights, as defined in the articles of incorporation.

Dividends, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, accrue at the rate of $65.892 per share per annum. Such dividends are not cumulative, and no dividends have been declared or paid through March 31, 2011. Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, are $2,115,000 and $2,267,000, respectively.

Note E – Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (Continued)

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $798.65 per share, subject to a down-round protection feature, which would reset the conversion price to a lower number in the event the Company does a subsequent offering of its securities at a lower price. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled at any time to convert all or any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of common stock. Additionally, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock upon the earlier to occur of (i) immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of the Company’s common stock or (ii) the date upon which the holders of at least two-thirds of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock elect to convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or change in control of the Company as defined, whether voluntary or involuntary, Series A Preferred Stock holders are entitled to receive an amount equal to $1,197.975 per share plus an additional amount equal to any unpaid dividends on each such share unless otherwise determined by at least two-thirds of the holders. After the payment of liquidation preference amount to the Series A shareholders, the remaining assets, if any, are shared between the common and preferred shareholders shall be distributed ratably on an “as if converted basis”.

At any time after the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Company first issued shares of its Series A Preferred Stock (2005), upon request of the majority of preferred Series A stockholders, the preferred A shares are redeemable. Redemption will occur in three annual installments, in each the Company shall redeem up to the maximum amount the Company may lawfully redeem. The redemption price is the lesser of (i) the original issue price plus an additional amount equal to any dividends declared but unpaid or (ii) the then current fair market value of such share. Consequently, redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock and the payment of the liquidation preference may result from events outside the control of the Company. Therefore, these securities are classified outside of permanent equity. The Company does not expect any such liquidation to occur in the near future, however the Company is required evaluate the likelihood at each reporting period.

Information related to redeemable convertible preferred stock gross proceeds raised is summarized as follows:

			Series A
	Shares		Redeemable
Series A Preferred Stock:	Issued		Preferred Stock

Issued in 2005 at $500.00 per share		98	$	49,603
Issued in 2006 at $798.65 per share		5,885		4,700,000
Issued in 2008 at $798.65 per share		1,440		1,150,000
Issued in 2009 at $798.65 per share		1,252		1,000,000
Issued in 2010 at $798.65 per share		845		675,000

Total at December 31, 2010		9,520		7,574,603

Issued in the three months ended
March 31, 2011 at $798.65 per share		31		25,000

Total March 31, 2011		9,551	$	7,599,603

Additionally, $265,328 of stock issuance costs incurred through 2008 ($210,000 in 2006 and $55,000 in 2008) associated with the Series A Preferred Stock have been charged against the redeemable convertible preferred stock and were accreted through December 31, 2009. Since all stock issuance costs have been fully accreted to the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock account and no dividends have been declared, the carrying value at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 equals the amount of the gross proceeds raised.

Notes To Financial Statements

Note F – Common Stock

The articles of incorporation, as amended in March and December of 2008, provide that each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by such stockholder. 6,822 shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with the formation of the Company and remain outstanding as of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011.

Note G – Stock Options

The Performance Recognition Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders of the Company on May 19, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan the Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors, has the authority to grant options, stock appreciation rights, awards of restricted stock, deferred stock or performance shares or any combination of the foregoing to eligible recipients. A total of 5,000 shares of common stock are reserved and made available for issuance under the Plan.

In, 2006, options to purchase 760 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $798.65 per share were granted to the five board members of the Company, which vest and become exercisable over a four year period and have a term of ten years. Also in 2006, options to purchase 75 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $798.65 per share were granted to one board member of the Company in recognition of services provided, which vested immediately.

In 2008, options to purchase 101 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $798.65 per share were granted to one of the advisors of the Company as a “Special Award.” and become exercisable based upon performance milestones, which management estimates were probable of occurring within four years.

Also in 2008, the Company issued members of management options to purchase 152 shares of common stock at $798.65 per share which vest and become exercisable over a four year period and have a term of ten years. Further, in 2008 the Company issued options to purchase 51 shares of common stock at $798.65 per share, which were fully vested at the grant date.

In 2009, options to purchase 1,300 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $185.87 were granted to two directors of the Company (one of which is an officer of the Company). Of these awards, 417 are vested and become exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing May 1, 2009 and have a term of ten years. The remaining 883 shares become exercisable ratably on a monthly basis commencing May 31, 2009 through December 31, 2010 and have a term of ten years.

Also in 2009 options to purchase 354 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $185.87 per share were granted to one of the directors of the Company who is also an officer of the Company as a “Special Award”, and vest and become exercisable based on the occurrence of two performance milestones. At the date of grant and through December 31, 2009, management estimated that the achievement of the performance milestones was probable of occurring, and the first milestone would be met by December 31, 2010, the second by July 1, 2013. These Special Award options have a term of ten years. During 2010, management re-assessed the probability of achieving these milestones, and determined that it is probable that the criteria would not be met, and therefore the previously expensed stock-based compensation charge of approximately $13,000 was reversed.

Also in 2009, options to purchase 456 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $185.87 were granted to three members of management of the Company. Of these awards, 304 vest and become exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing June 18, 2010 and have a term of ten years. The remaining 152 shares vest immediately at June 18, 2009 and have a term of ten years.

In 2010, options to purchase 1,102 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $185.87 were granted which vest and become exercisable in three equal annual installments 304 shares commencing November 2011 and 798 shares commencing December 2011, all have a term of ten years.

Note H – Commitments And Contingencies

[1]	Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC – a related party:

As discussed in Note A, the Company was spun-out from PCT during 2005. During such time, the Company was dependent on PCT for certain administrative and development services, discussed below. During 2010, PCT acquired $50,000 of Series A preferred stock at the same terms as other investors. (See Note E)

On May 31, 2005, the Company entered into a Cell Processing Agreement with PCT (the “PCT Agreement”) whereby the Company engaged PCT to be its exclusive provider of cell processing procedures and related services at rates specified within the agreement that included $25,000 per month during the clinical trial period for oversight services. This monthly fee was amended to $22,000 (or less if the Company asked PCT to perform a lesser amount of services) in 2008 through March 2011. Costs incurred under the PCT Agreement and included in research and development costs amounted to $12,500 and $2,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, $84,600 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and approximate $940,000 since inception. These costs are incurred when work is performed.

On May 19, 2006, PCT entered into a line of credit agreement with the Company whereby PCT agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 at an annual interest rate of 5%. PCT did not loan any amount to the Company under this agreement to date. The line of credit agreement expires on the earlier of (i) the date on which PCT declares the outstanding principal and accrued interest due and payable based on an event of default as defined within the agreement, or (ii) the date of closing of the first debt or equity financing of the Company following the initial borrowing of the principal.

In addition, the Company has contracted with PCT to provide certain administrative functions at a fee of $15,000 per month. In the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 $45,000 was paid to PCT for general and administrative services, $180,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and approximate $1,269,000 since inception. At March 31, 2011 and at December 31, 2010, $0 and $48,123 respectively, relating to PCT were recorded as accounts payable.

PCT was acquired in January 2011 by NeoStem, Inc. (see Note L)

[2]	Baxter Healthcare Corporation:

In August 2005, and as amended in 2010, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Baxter Healthcare Corporation (“Baxter”), a stockholder, whereby Baxter granted to the Company a non-exclusive license to use technology covered under patents either developed and owned or exclusively licensed by Baxter relating to the therapeutic use of stem cells.

Notes To Financial Statements

Note H – Commitments And Contingencies (Continued)

[2]	Baxter Healthcare Corporation (continued):

As consideration for the licenses granted, the Company agreed to pay Baxter royalties and non-refundable fees (of which only the fee upon execution of the License Agreement has been paid) as follows:

$250,000 upon execution of the License Agreement.

ii.

A one-time payment of $450,000 within thirty days following the enrollment of the first patient in the first Phase II clinical Trial.

iii.

A one-time payment of $1,000,000, or other amounts in certain circumstances, within thirty days following the enrollment of the first patient in the first Phase III clinical Trial.

iv.

A one-time payment of $8,000,000 within thirty days following receipt of the first approval in the United States to market any process or service involving the therapeutic use of stem cells, purified from bone marrow in an Amorcyte laboratory controlled or contracted for by Amorcyte, in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, that is covered by one or more licensed patents (the “Licensed Product(s)”).

An amount equal to 12% of the net sales of the Licensed Product(s), subject to an decrease to 11% if Amorcyte fails to exclusively utilize certain defined Baxter devices and supplies used in the processing of stem cells.

vi.

Baxter has the option of receiving the payments described in (ii), (iii), and (iv) above in the form of common stock of the Company. The number of shares of the common stock of Amorcyte to be issued to Baxter shall be calculated by dividing the amount of the payment then due by the then current price per share of the common stock of Amorcyte, as determined by the Board of Directors of Amorcyte, in its reasonable judgment.

As additional consideration, for the entire term of the License Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase from Baxter, or its designee, certain cell separation devices and supplies. The total amount purchased as of December 31, 2010 was insignificant.

The Company made no payments related to the License Agreement to Baxter during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2010.

Note I – Grant Agreement And Other Funding

The Company was awarded $244,479 under the federal government Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Program (QTDP) initiative, all of which was received during 2010 and included as other income.

Note J – Income Taxes

At December 31, 2010, Amorcyte has approximately $6,606,199 of federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards available, respectively, which may be applied against future taxable income of Amorcyte. The federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards would normally begin expiring in the year 2025. Because of its recurring losses and the uncertainty as to whether Amorcyte will generate sufficient taxable income to benefit from this carry-forward, management does not believe it is more likely than not that the operating loss carry-forward will be utilized and valuation allowance equal to the amount of the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 and all previous periods has been established. Amorcyte has raised capital through the issuance of capital stock on several occasions resulting in changes of control. The Internal Revenue Code contains limitations on the use of net operating loss carry-forwards and tax credits after the occurrence of an ownership change as defined by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382. As of December 31, 2010, Amorcyte has determined that an ownership change, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382, has not occurred.

AMORCYTE, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)

Notes To Financial Statements

Note J – Income Taxes (Continued)

If such an ownership change were to occur in the future, the utilization of a portion of net operating loss carry-forwards and research and development credit carry-forwards may be restricted. To date, the Company has not been a subject of an IRS examination.

The Company’s total deferred tax assets and deferred tax asset valuation allowances are as follows for December 31, 2010:

Net operating loss carry-forward	$	2,067,000
Intangibles and start-up cost		148,000
		2,215,000
Less: Valuation allowance		(2,215,000	)
Net	$	-

Note K – Major Suppliers

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, 74.5% and 64.5% of the Company's services were provided by three suppliers, including PCT (see Note H). It has been assessed that other vendors would be able provide services under substantially the same terms as the Company’s current suppliers. Major suppliers are considered to be those who accounted for more than 10% of total purchases.

Note L – Subsequent Events

The Company is negotiating a merger with NeoStem, Inc. (a public company which is the parent of PCT), whereby the shareholders of the Company would exchange all of their equity instruments in the Company for consideration of up to $18 million of common shares and warrants, a portion of which would be held in escrow pending achievement of certain clinical milestones. No agreement has yet been reached, and there can be no assurance that an agreement will be reached or that a transaction will be consummated.

Notes to the NeoStem Unaudited Proforma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

On July 13, 2011, NeoStem, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NeoStem” or the “Company”) and Amorcyte, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Amorcyte”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as such agreement may be amended from time to time, the “Agreement and Plan of Merger”), among NeoStem, Amorcyte, Amo Acquisition Company I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Subco”), and Amo Acquisition Company II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Subco II”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Subco (a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem) will be merged with and into Amorcyte (the “Merger”), with Amorcyte surviving the Amorcyte Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem. Within ninety (90) days after the effective time (the “Effective Time”) of the Amorcyte Merger, Amorcyte will be merged with and into Subco II, another newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem. Subco II, in its capacity as the wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem surviving the transactions contemplated by the Amorcyte Merger Agreement, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Company”.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, all of the shares of Amorcyte common stock and Amorcyte Series A Preferred Stock, all options and warrants to acquire equity of Amorcyte, and any debt obligations issued by Amorcyte that are convertible into Amorcyte Series A Preferred Stock (to the extent not already converted, being treated as if it were actually converted), in each case, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue of the Merger, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate:

(i)

6,821,283 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of NeoStem (“NeoStem Common Stock”) (subject to adjustment as described below) (the “Base Stock Consideration”);

(ii)

(iii)

(iv)

the earn out payments described below (the “Earn Out Payments”).

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, prior to closing all Amorcyte options and warrants will be modified in writings executed by each optionholder and warrantholder, so that effective upon the Effective Time, all Amorcyte options and warrants will, by virtue of the Merger, be converted into the right to receive the share of any Earn Out Payments that the holders of such options and warrants would have received if they had exercised their Amorcyte options and/or warrants, as applicable, prior to the Effective Time (after taking into account the payment of any exercise price due had they actually exercised). The holders of Amorcyte options and warrants will be entitled to the merger consideration similar to the holders of Amorcyte common stock, minus the exercise price of the options and warrants.

Adjustment to Base Stock Consideration

The Base Stock Consideration is subject to adjustment, provided that in no event will NeoStem be required to issue as Base Stock Consideration more than 6,821,283 shares of NeoStem Common Stock. The Agreement and Plan of Merger provides that to the extent the amount of Amorcyte’s liabilities (as defined and calculated in the manner described in the Agreement and Plan of Merger) on the closing date are more than $478,000 (the “Target Liabilities”), the Base Stock Consideration will be decreased by two times (2x) the amount by which Amorcyte’s liabilities are greater than the Target Liabilities. Any such decrease will reduce the Base Stock Consideration by two dollars for every dollar by which Amorcyte’s liabilities are greater than the Target Liabilities, with each share of the Base Stock Consideration valued at $1.466 (the average of the closing prices of sales of NeoStem Common Stock on the NYSE-Amex for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of execution of the Amorcyte Merger Agreement) (the “Parent Per Share Value”).

Contingent Share Milestones

The Contingent Shares will be issued only if certain business milestones are achieved, as follows:

One-third of the Contingent Shares will be issued following a Type B End of Phase 2/Pre-Phase 3 meeting with the FDA wherein AMR-001 is acknowledged in writing by the FDA to be ready for Phase 3.

The remaining one-third of the Contingent Shares will be issued upon the first dosing of the first patient in the pivotal Phase 3 clinical study for AMR-001.

Upon achievement of these specified contingencies, the Contingent Shares will be issued to the former stockholders of Amorcyte.

Procedures for Earn Out Payments

Voting Agreements

The statements contained in this section may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor to “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words “believe,” “expect, “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based largely on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. NeoStem, Inc. does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements set forth above have been prepared by NeoStem and give effect to the following transactions:

1)	The acquisition of the equity interests of Amorcyte for aggregate consideration of approximately $13.8 million, and;
2)	The issuance of approximately 6.1 million shares of common stock and 2 million common stock purchase warrants and rights to Contingent Shares.

The unaudited condensed combined proforma results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010 are presented to give effect to the acquisition of Amorcyte as if it had occurred on January 1, 2010. The unaudited condensed combined proforma balance sheet is presented to give effect to the acquisition of Amorcyte as if it had occurred on March 31, 2011. This proforma information is based on, derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements of NeoStem for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 6, 2011 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2011included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 17, 2011 and the historical financial statements of Amorcyte for the year ended December 31, 2010, and as of and for the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2011, which are included elsewhere in this document. We have not adjusted the historical financial statements of either entity for any costs recognized during the year that may be considered to be nonrecurring.

All unaudited interim financial statements incorporated by reference or furnished herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

The unaudited proforma condensed combined financial statements were prepared using the assumptions described below and in the related notes.

The unaudited proforma condensed combined financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only. They do not purport to represent what NeoStem’s consolidated results of operations and financial position would have been had the transaction actually occurred as of the dates indicated, and they do not purport to project NeoStem’ future consolidated results of operations or financial position.

The actual adjustments to our consolidated financial statements upon the closing of the acquisition of Amorcyte will depend on a number of factors, including additional information that becomes available. Therefore, the actual adjustments will differ from the unaudited pro forma adjustments, and the differences may be material.

The acquisition of Amorcyte will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. For the purposes of determining the unaudited pro forma adjustments, the assets and liabilities of Amorcyte have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that NeoStem management believes are reasonable utilizing information currently available.

The process for estimating the fair values of in-process research and development, identifiable intangible assets, and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows, developing appropriate discount rates, and estimating the costs, timing and probability of success to complete in-process projects. Transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred. The excess, if any of the purchase price (consideration transferred) over the estimated amounts of identifiable assets and liabilities of Amorcyte as of the effective date of the acquisition will be allocated to goodwill. The purchase price allocation is subject to finalization of NeoStem’s analysis of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Amorcyte as of the effective date of the acquisition. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented above is preliminary and will be adjusted upon completion of the final valuation. Such adjustments could be material. The final valuation is expected to be completed as soon as practicable but no later than one year after the consummation of the acquisition.

For purposes of measuring the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Additionally, fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants. As a result, NeoStem may be required to value assets at fair value measures that do not reflect NeoStem’s intended use of those assets. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results.

When these transactions are completed, NeoStem will account for these transactions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805-10 (“ASC 805-10”). ASC 805-10 provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. ASC 805-10 also requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If the fair value of an asset or liability cannot be determined, the asset or liability that arises from a contingency, the asset or liability would be recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 30-1 (“ASC 30-1”) and if the fair value is not determinable no asset or liability would be recognized. At the present time, we are not in possession of all of the information to apply ASC 805-10 or ASC 30-1 to these unaudited proforma condensed combined financial statements and will not be in possession of such information until the Effective Date. Therefore, for the purposes of preparing these unaudited proforma condensed combined financial statements we have established an estimated fair value of the equities being offered in this transaction as of June 15, 2011. The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on management’s estimate of acquired tangible and intangible assets and will be adjusted based on the final valuation to be completed within one year from the acquisition date. The excessof the total purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including the estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assets, will be allocated to goodwill. We expect that the fair value of current assets and remaining machinery and equipment will approximate the book value of these assets and that the excess of purchase price over net deficit will be assigned principally to in-process research and development and Goodwill (if the purchase price exceeds the fair value of tangible and intangible assets as of the date of merger). The useful life of this intangible asset cannot be determined until the underlying research and development efforts are proved successful or are abandoned if the clinical studies are not successful.

Calculation of Estimated Consideration Transferred and Preliminary Allocation of Consideration Transferred to Net Assets Acquired

The fair value of equity securities issued as consideration transferred will be measured using the market price of NeoStem common stock on the closing date. As of July 13, 2011 the estimated fair value of the various equities being issued is as follows:

Calculation of Estimated Consideration Transferred

	Number of Shares		Fair Value Per Share at July 12, 2011		Fair Value at July 12, 2011
Common Stock	6,129,800	$	1.45	$	8,888,200
Common Stock Purchase Warrants	1,881,000				2,000,000
Contingent Share Liability					2,967,300
					13,855,500

Based on the terms and conditions of each of the warrants to be issued, we have determined that all warrants are to be accounted for as an equity instrument and included in the purchase price based on the probability that each warrant will be issued or vested. The value of the Contingent Shares has been determined on a probability weighting of the successful outcome of the various milestones that must be accomplished to earn all of the Contingent Shares. Based on the value of NeoStem Common Stock on July 12, 2011 the value of the Contingent Shares could range from $0 to $5,934,500 based on the accomplishment of a these milestones. The value of the contingent shares will be revalued at each reporting period and upon accomplishment of the specific milestone.

Since the agreement calls for the delivery of a certain number of shares at the closing and upon the accomplishment of certain milestones there may be variability in the purchase price.

Preliminary Allocation of Consideration Transferred to Net Assets Acquired

Identifiable intangible assets -IPRD	$	14,707,900
Goodwill		5,874,300
Property, plant and equipment		1,700
Current assets		125,200
Current liabilities		(979,300	)
Deferred tax liability		(5,874,300	)
Estimated purchase price to be allocated	$	13,855,500

Proforma Adjustments for the Unaudited Proforma Condensed Combined Financial Statements:

(a)

This entry records the acquisition of the equity interests of Amorcyte for aggregate consideration of approximately $13,855,500, through the issuance of 6,129,800 shares of NeoStem common stock, common stock purchase warrants and rights to Contingent Shares. The estimated fair value of the equity issued as consideration by NeoStem was valued at $13,855,500; the equities issued by NeoStem included approximately 6,129,800 shares of NeoStem Common Stock at approximately $8,888,200, Contingent shares with a value of $2,967,300 and NeoStem warrants valued at $2,000,000. The value of the contingent shares could range from $0 to $5,934,500 based on the accomplishment of a certain milestones.

(b)

This entry records the intangible assets and related deferred tax liability management expects to acquire in the Merger. The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on management’s estimate of acquired tangible and intangible assets and will be adjusted based on the final valuation to be completed within one year from the acquisition date. The excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including the estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assetswill be allocated to goodwill. Below is a preliminary summary of the significant intangible assets that NeoStem expects to acquire in the Merger:

Preliminary Summary of Intangible Assets
	Estimated Value		Useful Life		Estimated Annual Amortization
In process R&D	$	14,707,900		*	$	-

* This amount will be capitalized and accounted for as an indefinite-life intangible asset, subject to impairment testing. NeoStem will evaluate this intangible asset and goodwill at least annually to determine if any impairment has occurred.

(c)	This entry eliminates the equity accounts of Amorcyte as follows:

Common Stock	$	7
Additional Paid in Capital		662,743
Accumulated Deficit		(9,114,800	)

(d)	For the purposes of these proforma combined financial statements it is assumed that the carrying value of this asset or liability approximates its fair value.

(e)

On May 31, 2005, Amorcyte entered into a Cell Processing Agreement with PCT whereby the Company engaged PCT to be its exclusive provider of cell processing procedures and related services at rates and monthly fees as specified within the agreement for the clinical trial period for oversight services. In addition, the Company has contracted with PCT to provide certain administrative functions at a fee of $15,000 per month. NeoStem owned PCT for the period January 20, 2011 to March 31, 2011. This entry eliminates revenues billed by PCT to Amorcyte.

(f)	At the conclusion of this transaction, an approximate additional 6,129,800 common shares will have been issued and for the purposes of calculating the unaudited proforma earnings/ (loss) per share it has been assumed that these shares were outstanding as of January 1, 2010.

ARTICLE III

Conversion and Distribution of Securities

Section 3.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of NeoStem, Subco or Amorcyte or their respective stockholders, as the case may be:

(a) Each share of capital stock of Subco issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall, by virtue of the First Merger, be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of Amorcyte. Such common stock shall thereafter constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity of Amorcyte, so that NeoStem shall own all of the capital stock interests in, and equity of, Amorcyte. Each share of capital stock of Subco, when converted in accordance with this Section 3.1(a), will no longer be outstanding, will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist.

(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Article III, all of the shares of Amorcyte Series A Preferred Stock, all of the shares of Amorcyte Common Stock, all of the Amorcyte Options and Amorcyte Warrants, and all Convertible Debt (to the extent such Convertible Debt has not been converted into Series A Preferred Stock) (with such Convertible Debt being treated as if such Convertible Debt was actually converted into Series A Preferred Stock) in each case, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time, shall, by virtue of the First Merger, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate, the following:

-14-

(i) 6,821,283 shares of Parent Common Stock, adjusted as set forth in Section 3.3, equal to $10 million divided by the Parent Per Share Value (the “Base Stock Consideration”),

(ii) The right to receive 4,092,768 shares of Parent Common Stock (a number, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.6, equal to $6 million divided by the Parent Per Share Value) (the “Contingent Shares”, and together with the Base Stock Consideration, the “Stock Consideration”);

(iii) Warrants to purchase 1,881,008 shares of Parent Common Stock over a seven (7) year period (the number of shares shall be fixed so that the fair market valuation of the Warrants using the Black-Scholes option valuation formula shall be $2 million) at an exercise price of the Parent Per Share Value (the “Warrants”); and

(iv) The Earn Out Payments in accordance with Section 3.7.

(c) Transfer of any shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants will be restricted until the date one year after the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the Warrants. The Warrants otherwise shall be on customary terms and in customary form for Parent common stock purchase warrants as set forth in Exhibit C.

(d) Amorcyte covenants that, prior to the Closing Date, (i) it will cause all Amorcyte Options and Amorcyte Warrants to have been modified in writings executed by each Optionholder and each Warrantholder, as applicable; provided that such modifications shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent, so that, effective upon the First Effective Time, all Amorcyte Options and all Amorcyte Warrants shall, by virtue of the First Merger, be converted into the right to receive their share of any Earn Out Payments that the holders of such Amorcyte Options and Amorcyte Warrants would have received if they had exercised their Amorcyte Options and/or Amorcyte Warrants, as applicable, prior to the Closing Date (after taking into account any exercise price such holders would have had to pay if they had actually exercised their Amorcyte Options or Amorcyte Warrants) and (ii) all payables due to PCT through the Closing Date will be fully paid and satisfied prior to or at Closing.

(e) As of the Second Effective Time all shares of common stock of Amorcyte issued and outstanding following the First Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such shares of common stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

(f) At the Second Effective Time, each common unit of Subco II that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will continue to constitute one validly issued common unit of the Surviving Company. Such common unit shall be the only units of the Surviving Company that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Second Effective Time.

Section 3.2 Payments by the Parent. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, at the Closing, the Parent shall cause its transfer agent to issue the Base Stock Consideration in the name of the Escrow Agent, as agent for the Amorcyte Stockholders, and to deliver the Base Stock Consideration to the Escrow Agent, to be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement in the form and substance of the escrow agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit B, subject to such modifications thereof as the Escrow Agent shall reasonably request prior to the Closing and as shall be accepted by the Parent and Amorcyte (such acceptance not to be unreasonably denied) (as so modified, the “Escrow Agreement”). The stock certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock held in escrow shall bear restrictive legends as set forth in the Escrow Agreement. Parent also shall issue the Warrants in electronic book entry form in the name of the Amorcyte Stockholders. The Escrow Agreement shall prohibit transfers of interests in the Escrow Account or any of the Stock Consideration, directly or indirectly, until released from the Escrow Account. The Contingent Shares shall be issued to the Amorcyte Stockholders if and when the contingencies set forth in Section 3.6 have been satisfied.

Section 3.3 Adjustment to Base Stock Consideration.

(a) At Closing, Amorcyte shall provide the Parent with an estimated list of all of its Liabilities (the “Estimated Liabilities”). The Estimated Liabilities shall reflect, but not be limited to, all payments required to be made by, or obligations of Amorcyte on or as of the Closing Date (including, without limitation, an estimate of the Amorcyte Expenses incurred to date and to be incurred and a good faith reasonable estimate of any contingent Liabilities and excluding any Convertible Debt).

(b) If the Estimated Liabilities are more than $478,000 (the “Target Liabilities”), the Base Stock Consideration payable at Closing will be decreased by two times (2x) the amount by which the Estimated Liabilities are greater than the Target Liabilities. The decrease will reduce the Base Stock Consideration by two dollars for every dollar by which Estimated Liabilities are greater than the Target Liabilities, with each share of Parent Common Stock valued at the Parent Per Share Value. “Adjusted Stock Consideration”, as used in this Section 3.3, shall mean the Base Stock Consideration as decreased (if at all) by this Section 3.3(b).

(c) The Adjusted Stock Consideration shall be further adjusted (upward or downward, as applicable, but never to an amount greater than the number of shares set forth in Section 3.1(b)(i)) as set forth in Section 3.3(e) after the Closing to reflect the difference, if any, between the Adjusted Closing Liabilities determined pursuant to this Section 3.3(c) and the Estimated Liabilities. “Adjusted Closing Liabilities” means all Liabilities of Amorcyte incurred as of the close of business on the Closing Date (including, without limitation, the Amorcyte Expenses and a good faith reasonable estimate of any contingent Liabilities as of the Closing Date which remain contingent at the date of determination and excluding any Convertible Debt). Within ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date, the Parent shall deliver to the Amorcyte Representative a statement setting forth the Adjusted Closing Liabilities (the “Adjusted Closing Liabilities Statement”). To the extent the Parent fails to deliver the Adjusted Closing Liabilities Statement to the Amorcyte Representative within such ninety (90) day period, then the Estimated Liabilities shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto. Parent covenants to timely pay all Liabilities set forth on the Adjusted Closing Liabilities Statement.

-16-

(d) The Adjusted Closing Liabilities delivered by the Parent to the Amorcyte Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties unless the Amorcyte Representative, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Amorcyte Representative of the Adjusted Closing Liabilities Statement, notifies the Parent in writing that the Amorcyte Representative disputes any of the amounts set forth therein, specifying the nature of the dispute and the basis therefor. The parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve any dispute, in which event the Adjusted Closing Liabilities Statement, as amended to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of the dispute, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If the parties do not reach agreement in resolving any and all such disputes within twenty (20) calendar days after notice is given by the Amorcyte Representative to the Parent pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the parties shall, within twenty (20) days thereafter, jointly select and engage an independent accounting firm (other than the Parent’s or Amorcyte’s accounting firm) (the “Firm”) to resolve any remaining disputes regarding the Adjusted Closing Liabilities Statement. Promptly, but no later than twenty (20) calendar days after acceptance of its appointment as the Firm, the Firm shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Firm shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by the Parent and the Amorcyte Representative, each containing a computation of Adjusted Closing Liabilities (the final submission made by the Parent and the Amorcyte Representative to the Firm being referred to herein as such party’s “Final Submission”), and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the disputes and the resulting computation of the Adjusted Closing Liabilities. Such written report shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. All proceedings conducted by the Firm shall take place in New York, New York. In resolving any disputed item, the Firm (x) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.3(d) and (y) may not assign a value to any Liability greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The fees, costs and expenses of the Firm shall be borne solely by the party whose calculation of Adjusted Closing Liabilities, as reflected in such party’s Final Submission, is furthest in amount, whether positive or negative, from the amount of Adjusted Closing Liabilities as determined by the Firm.

(e) Upon final determination of the Adjusted Closing Liabilities as provided in Section 3.3(d), (i) if the Adjusted Closing Liabilities are greater than the Estimated Liabilities, the Adjusted Stock Consideration shall be further decreased by two times (2x) the excess of the Adjusted Closing Liabilities over the Estimated Liabilities (the “Decrease Amount”); and (ii) if the Adjusted Closing Liabilities are less than the Estimated Liabilities, the Adjusted Stock Consideration shall be increased by two times (2x) the excess of the Estimated Liabilities over the Adjusted Closing Liabilities (the “Increase Amount”), provided that, in no event shall the Adjusted Stock Consideration be increased to be an amount that in the aggregate is greater than the number of shares initially reflected as the Base Stock Consideration in Section 3.1(b)(i) (without regard for any adjustments pursuant to this Section 3.3). If the Adjusted Closing Liabilities are greater than the Estimated Liabilities, then the Parent shall direct the Escrow Agent to return to the Parent, within five (5) Business Days of such determination, Shares of Parent Common Stock representing the Decrease Amount with each share of Parent Common Stock valued at the Parent Per Share Value as of the payment date. On the other hand, if the Estimated Liabilities are greater than the Adjusted Closing Liabilities, then the Parent shall deposit with the Escrow Agent, within five (5) Business Days of such determination, shares of Parent Common Stock representing the Increase Amount with each share of Parent Common Stock valued at the Parent Per Share Value as of the payment date; provided that in no event shall the Parent deposit with the Escrow Agent an aggregate amount of Parent Common Stock greater than the number of shares reflected in Section 3.1(b)(i) as the Base Stock Consideration.

-17-

(f) Amorcyte undertakes and covenants to make all payments required in the Ordinary Course of Amorcyte’s Business through the Closing Date. For avoidance of any doubt, the Adjusted Closing Liabilities shall include all Amorcyte Expenses whenever incurred, as well as all Amorcyte accounts payable incurred in the Ordinary Course of Amorcyte’s Business through the Closing Date. To the extent that any such expense or accounts payable are not due as of the Closing Date and are properly reflected on the Adjusted Closing Liabilities Statement and result in an adjustment of the Base Stock Consideration, Parent shall pay such expenses or accounts payable in the ordinary course when due.

Section 3.4 Distributions; Exchange Ratio; Fractional Shares; Adjustments.

(a) Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, the Lock-Up Stockholders have irrevocably agreed to vote in favor of the First Merger, this Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and agreed to certain transfer restrictions with respect to their shares in Amorcyte prior to the First Effective Time.

(b) Each Amorcyte Securityholder shall receive, for his, her or its Amorcyte Series A Preferred Stock, Amorcyte Common Stock, Amorcyte Options and Amorcyte Warrants, as applicable, an allocable share of the Base Stock Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the Warrants, the Contingent Shares, if applicable, and the Earn Out Payments, if applicable, in each case, in accordance with (i) the certificate of incorporation of Amorcyte, including the certificate of designations for the Amorcyte Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) the terms of any stockholder agreements, (iii) the terms of the Amorcyte Options and the Amorcyte Warrants, as amended pursuant to this Agreement, and (iv) the Consideration Allocation and Percentage Certification (subsections (i) through (iii), the “Amorcyte Governing Documents”). At the Closing, Amorcyte shall deliver to the Parent and the Escrow Agent a certification signed by the Amorcyte Representative showing: (a) the number of shares of the Base Stock Consideration, the Warrants and the Contingent Shares, if applicable, allocable to each Amorcyte Securityholder and (b) the percentage interest of each Amorcyte Securityholder in the Base Stock Consideration, Warrants, Contingent Shares, if applicable, and Earn Out Payments, if applicable, (the “Consideration Allocation and Percentage Certification”). Annexed hereto as Exhibit E is a form of the chart showing the aggregate allocation of the consideration to be received hereunder allocated among the holders of Amorcyte Series A Preferred Stock, Amorcyte Common Stock, Amorcyte Options and Amorcyte Warrants. Amorcyte shall deliver Exhibit E to Parent within 5 Business Days of the date of execution of this Agreement. Exhibit E is, and the Consideration Allocation and Percentage Certification shall be, consistent with the Amorcyte Governing Documents in all respects and conclusive and binding on the Amorcyte Securityholders. Prior to Closing, Amorcyte shall provide NeoStem with any updates to Exhibit E required as a result of the Amorcyte Financing.

(d) Within three (3) Business Days of the closing of the Amorcyte Financing, if any, the Amorcyte Representative shall deliver to the Parent and the Escrow Agent an amended Consideration Allocation and Percentage Certification, which will show (a) the number of shares of Adjusted Stock Consideration, (b) the number of Contingent Shares, if issuable, (c) the number of Warrants and (d) the percentage of Earn Out Payments, if earned, to be issued to or paid to, as applicable, each Amorcyte Securityholder again consistent with Exhibit E and the Amorcyte Governing Documents and rounded in each case to the nearest whole shares as provided in Section 3.4(e).

(e) No certificates for fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or Warrants to purchase fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued. In lieu of any fractional shares or Warrants to purchase a fractional share to which the Amorcyte Securityholders would otherwise be entitled as a result of the distributions provided for herein or in the Escrow Agreement based on the Consideration Allocation and Percentage Certification, all stock issuances of Parent Common Stock or Warrant amounts shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share, so that no more than the whole number of shares represented by the Adjusted Stock Consideration and the Contingent Shares, if any, and no more than the whole number of shares represented by the Warrants shall ever be issued.

(f) In the event that, subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the First Effective Time, NeoStem shall declare a stock dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Parent Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Parent Common Stock or effect a stock split, reclassification, combination or other change with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock, the Adjusted Stock Consideration and Warrants shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect such dividend, distribution, stock split, reclassification, combination or other change.

Section 3.5 Delivery of Certificates to Escrow Agent. Promptly following the First Effective Time, NeoStem shall deposit with the Escrow Agent, for distribution in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, certificates representing the Base Stock Consideration (6,821,283 shares of the Parent Common Stock) in the name of the Escrow Agent for eventual distribution to the Amorcyte Stockholders consistent with the Escrow Agreement. So long as any shares of Parent Common Stock are held in escrow, the Escrow Agreement shall provide that the shares of Parent Common Stock be voted on any matter presented to the shareholders of NeoStem by the Amorcyte Representative.

The Primary Clinical Endpoints may only be changed in a writing consented to by the Parent and the Amorcyte Representative. One-third of the Contingent Shares shall be issued following a Type B End of Phase 2/Pre-Phase 3 meeting with the FDA wherein AMR-001 is acknowledged in writing by the FDA to be ready for Phase 3.

In the case of any claim for indemnification arising from a claim of a third party, an Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice, following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such claim or demand, to the Indemnifying Party of any claim or demand of which such Indemnified Party has knowledge and as to which it may request indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice will not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights furnished hereunder unless, and then solely to the extent that, the rights of the parties from whom indemnity is sought are materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and to direct the defense against any such claim or demand, in its name or in the name of the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have provided the Indemnified Party with the prior written assumption, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, by the Indemnifying Party of any and all liability with respect to the matter in controversy, unless (i) such claim or demand seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that (x) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense of such claim or demand or (y) the Indemnified Party has one or more defenses not available to the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, and keep the Indemnifying Party fully informed, in the defense of such claim or demand. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any claim or demand with counsel employed at its own expense; provided, however, that, in the case of any claim or demand described in clause (i) or (ii) of the second preceding sentence or as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such claim or demand, the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to any such claim or demand which shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such claim solely involves a claim for monetary Damages and such settlement is accompanied by a document releasing the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to the matter in controversy.

Section 8.4 Escrow Account. Upon approval of this Agreement the Amorcyte Stockholders shall be deemed to have consented to the right of Parent or any Parent Indemnified Party to collect from the Escrow Account the amount of any Damages payable to the Parent or any of the Parent Indemnified Parties in accordance with this Article VIII as and when the Parent or any of the Parent Indemnified Parties incurs or suffers such Damages.

(a) Escrow Period; Release of Escrow Account. The Escrow Account shall commence on the Closing Date and terminate on the date (the “Termination Date”) which is two (2) years and one day after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Period”).

-57-

(i) An aggregate of up to 20% of the Base Stock Consideration in the Escrow Account may be released from the Escrow Account and distributed to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to the Amorcyte Securityholders in accordance with their proportional interests six (6) months after the Closing Date, provided, however, that the Parent shall not be required to release any shares of Parent Common Stock then being held with respect to pending claims. Shares subject to pending claims will be released to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to the applicable Amorcyte Stockholders when the pending claim is finally resolved.

(ii) As soon as practicable after the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “One-Year Release Date”), the Parent shall direct the Escrow Agent to release and distribute to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to the Amorcyte Securityholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all shares of Parent Common Stock then remaining in the Escrow Account except as follows: If no indemnification claims have been asserted by the Parent prior to the One-Year Release Date, then Parent Common Stock with a Current Value of $1,250,000 shall remain in the Escrow Account until the Termination Date. If any indemnification claims have been asserted by the Parent prior to the One-Year Release Date, then Parent Common Stock with a Current Value equal to the sum of (i) $2,500,000 plus (ii) the amount of any then pending indemnification claims shall remain in the Escrow Account until the Termination Date. For purposes of this paragraph, “Current Value” means the Parent Per Share Value.

(iii) As soon as practical after the Termination Date, the Parent shall direct the Escrow Agent to release and distribute to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to the Amorcyte Securityholders in accordance with this Agreement all shares of Parent Common Stock then remaining in the Escrow Account; provided that Parent Common Stock representing 120% of the maximum amount of any claim made by the Parent pursuant to Article VIII during the Escrow Period shall be withheld and remain in the Escrow Account pending resolution of such claim; provided, further, that the Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Account which is necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Parent Notice theretofore delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the termination of the Escrow Period with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to the expiration of the Escrow Period, shall remain in the Escrow Account until such claims have been resolved. Parent shall direct the Escrow Agent to promptly distribute to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to Amorcyte’s former Amorcyte Securityholders any portion of the Escrow Account at the Termination Date for which there is no claim pending or unsatisfied pursuant to this Article VIII. All shares of Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Account shall have been registered on the Form S-4.

(b) Claims Upon Escrow Account. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4, the Parent or Subco may make claims upon the Escrow Account by delivering to the Escrow Agent at any time on or before the last day of the Escrow Period a notice signed by a representative of Parent or Subco (a “Parent Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Damages for which indemnification is being sought. Thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Escrow Agent of a Parent Notice, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Parent, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock held in the Escrow Account having a Current Value equal to such Damages. Parent shall, concurrent with the sending of any Parent Notice to the Escrow Agent, provide a copy of such Parent Notice to the Amorcyte Representative. Any payments made to an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article VIII or the Escrow Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the total consideration being paid hereunder for Tax purposes.

-58-

(i) If the Amorcyte Representative shall deliver a written objection to a Parent Notice to Parent and the Escrow Agent within thirty (30) calendar day period after Parent or Subco’s delivery thereof, then Parent and the Amorcyte Representative shall use their good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If Parent and the Amorcyte Representative resolve such dispute, the parties shall deliver a written notice to the Escrow Agent directing the delivery of the applicable portion of the Escrow Account based upon such resolution. In the event that no objection is made by the Amorcyte Representative as provided herein, the Amorcyte Representative, Amorcyte and the Amorcyte Stockholders shall have irrevocably waived any right to object to such Parent Notice.

(ii) If timely notice of such an objection is given and Parent and the Amorcyte Representative are unable to resolve the applicable dispute within thirty (30) days after the Amorcyte Representative objects to such Parent Notice, either Parent or the Amorcyte Representative may, by written notice to the other and the Escrow Agent, demand arbitration of such dispute. Any such arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS/Endispute, Inc. or such other alternative dispute service (“Arbitration Service”) as shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Amorcyte Representative. The Arbitration Service shall select one (1) arbitrator reasonably acceptable to both Parent and the Amorcyte Representative who shall be expert in the area in dispute. The decision by the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive and, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 8.4, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decisions and make delivery of the Escrow Account in accordance therewith. The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York. The costs of any such arbitration shall be borne one-half by the Parent and one-half by the Amorcyte Stockholders (out of the Escrow Account to the extent available after all claims have been satisfied and shares released). Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 8.5 Amorcyte Representative.

(a) By approval of the First Merger at the Amorcyte Meeting, each Amorcyte Stockholder shall be deemed to irrevocably constitute and appoint the Amorcyte Representative as such Amorcyte Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact and agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. This power is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall not be affected by the death, incapacity, illness or other inability to act of any Amorcyte Stockholder. Each Amorcyte Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants the Amorcyte Representative full power and authority on behalf of such Amorcyte Stockholder, including, but not limited, to:

(i) execute and deliver, and to accept delivery of, such documents as may be deemed by the Amorcyte Representative, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement;

-59-

(ii) certify as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and of such Amorcyte Stockholder under, or pursuant to the terms of, this Agreement and to deliver such documents, instruments, certificates or agreements contemplated by this Agreement on behalf of such Amorcyte Stockholder;

(iii) (A) dispute or refrain from disputing any claim made by the Parent and Subco under this Agreement; (B) negotiate and compromise any dispute that may arise under, and to exercise or refrain from exercising any remedies available under, this Agreement and (C) execute any settlement agreement, release or other document with respect to such dispute or remedy;

(iv) waive any closing condition contained in Article VII and give or agree to any and all consents, waivers, amendments or modifications deemed by the Amorcyte Representative, in its sole discretion, to be necessary or appropriate under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and, in each case, to execute and deliver any documents that may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith.

(v) enforce any claim against the Parent and Subco arising under this Agreement;

(vi) engage attorneys, accountants and agents at the expense of the Amorcyte Stockholders;

(vii) exercise all rights of, and take all actions that may be taken by, the Amorcyte Stockholders or any of them hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement; and

(viii) give such instructions and to take such action or refrain from taking such action as the Amorcyte Representative deems, in his sole discretion, necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement.

(b) The Amorcyte Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Amorcyte Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Amorcyte Securityholders shall indemnify the Amorcyte Representative and hold the Amorcyte Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Amorcyte Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Amorcyte Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Amorcyte Representative. This indemnification shall survive termination of this Agreement. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Amorcyte Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement, shall constitute a decision of the Amorcyte Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Amorcyte Representative; and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Amorcyte Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Amorcyte Stockholders. The Amorcyte Representative may in all questions arising under this Agreement seek advice of legal counsel, and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Amorcyte Representative in accordance with such advice, the Amorcyte Representative shall not be liable to any Amorcyte Securityholder. The Escrow Agent and Parent are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Amorcyte Representative.

-60-

(c) In no event shall the Amorcyte Representative be liable hereunder or in connection herewith to any Amorcyte Stockholder for any indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages.

(d) Without limiting in any way any other provision of this Agreement, the Amorcyte Representative is authorized to, without limitation, engage counsel, and such accountants and other advisors and incur such other expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby as the Amorcyte Representative may in his sole discretion deem appropriate. The Amorcyte Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement of all expenses incurred in connection with its duties as Amorcyte Representative hereunder from the Amorcyte Securityholders in proportion to the aggregate consideration received by each of the respective Amorcyte Securityholders from Parent. If an Amorcyte Securityholder shall default in his, her or its obligations to reimburse the Amorcyte Representative hereunder, the Amorcyte Representative shall be entitled to withhold from distribution to the defaulting Amorcyte Securityholder an amount equal to such defaulted obligation.

(e) In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Amorcyte Representative shall be entitled to (i) rely upon any document or instrument reasonably believed to be genuine, accurate as to content and signed by any Amorcyte Stockholder or any party hereunder and (ii) assume that any person purporting to give any notice in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Parent and all of its Affiliates shall be able to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Amorcyte Representative as to any matter requiring action or decision by Amorcyte or the Amorcyte Securityholders under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the Amorcyte Securityholders, without any liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any Amorcyte Securityholder, and notwithstanding any Knowledge on the part of the Parent and Subco of any such dispute or disagreement. Amorcyte and the Amorcyte Securityholders shall not have any cause of action against the Parent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken by the Parent in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Amorcyte Representative. All actions, decisions and instructions of the Amorcyte Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon Amorcyte and the Amorcyte Securityholders and, in the absence of fraud or intentional misconduct, neither Amorcyte nor the Amorcyte Securityholders shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same or have any cause of action against the Amorcyte Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Amorcyte Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby.

(g) By approval of the First Merger at the Amorcyte Meeting, each Amorcyte Securityholder shall be deemed to agree that:

(i) notice to the Amorcyte Representative, delivered in the manner provided herein, shall be deemed to be notice to each Amorcyte Securityholder for the purposes of this Agreement;

-61-

(ii) the authority of the Amorcyte Representative, as described in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, shall be effective until the rights and obligations of the Amorcyte Representative under this Agreement shall terminate by virtue of the termination of any and all rights and obligations of such Amorcyte Securityholder to the Parent and all of its Affiliates under this Agreement;

(iii) if the Amorcyte Representative is removed, resigns or otherwise ceases to function in his capacity as such for any reason whatsoever, and if no successor is appointed by a majority-in-interest of the Amorcyte Securityholders based on their proportional percentage of the Stock Consideration within thirty (30) days of such removal, resignation or otherwise, then the Parent and Subco shall have the right to appoint a Amorcyte Representative to serve as described in this Agreement (who shall be an Amorcyte Securityholder) and, under such circumstances, the Parent and Subco and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on all actions taken by such Amorcyte Representative; and

(iv) the Amorcyte Representative shall not be liable to any Amorcyte Securityholder for Damages with respect to any action taken or any omission by the Amorcyte Representative pursuant to this Section 8.5 or the Escrow Agreement, except to the extent such Damages are caused by the Amorcyte Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h) Each Amorcyte Securityholder shall be deemed to have agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of the Parent and Subco, he/she/it shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, delivery of his/her/its shares of Amorcyte Securities and/or the Letter of Transmittal contemplated by this Agreement and acceptance of the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement in escrow at Closing) individually on his/her/its own behalf. As a condition to receipt of each Amorcyte Securityholder’s pro rata portion of the Warrants, the Adjusted Stock Consideration, the Contingent Shares, and the Earn Out Payments, if applicable, each Amorcyte Securityholder shall execute and deliver to the Parent and its transfer agent the Letter of Transmittal, duly endorsed (signature guaranteed by a commercial bank).

(i) Any claim, action, suit or other proceeding, whether at law or in equity, to enforce any right, benefit or remedy granted to Amorcyte Stockholders under this Agreement shall be asserted, brought, prosecuted, or maintained only by the Amorcyte Representative on behalf of the Amorcyte Stockholders. Any claim, action, suit or other proceedings, either at law or in equity, to enforce any right, benefit or remedy granted under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right of indemnification provided in this Agreement, may be asserted, brought, prosecuted or maintained by the Parent or Subco against the Amorcyte Stockholder by service of process on the Amorcyte Representative and without the necessity of serving process on, or otherwise joining or naming any other Amorcyte Stockholder as a defendant in such action, suit or other proceeding. With respect to any matter contemplated by this Section, an Amorcyte Stockholder shall be bound by any determination in favor of or against the Amorcyte Representative or the terms of any settlement or release to which the Amorcyte Representative shall become a party.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Merger Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, concurrent with the execution of this Lock Up Agreement, the Company, Parent, AMO Acquisition Company I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Subco”), and AMO Acquisition Company II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Subco II”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated of even date herewith (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) Subco will be merged with and into the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving company and as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “First Merger”) and (ii) within ninety (90) days thereafter, the Company will be merged with and into Subco II (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Subco II surviving the Second Merger, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Lock Up Stockholders are the record and beneficial owners of certain equity securities of the Company (the “Shares”), in the classes, amounts and percentages set forth opposite each Lock Up Stockholder’s name on Schedule A hereto; and

WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to entering into the Merger Agreement, Parent desires that each of the Lock Up Stockholders agree, and each of the Lock Up Stockholders is willing to agree, to enter into this Lock Up Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parent, the Company and each of the Lock Up Stockholders, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Certain Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. For purposes of this Lock Up Agreement:

Without duplicative counting of the same securities by the same holder, securities Beneficially Owned by a Person shall include securities Beneficially Owned by all other Persons with whom such Person would constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Merger Agreement, Paul Schmitt has been irrevocably appointed by the Amorcyte Stockholders to serve as the Amorcyte Representative in connection with all matters under this Agreement and the resolution of all claims for Damages under the Merger Agreement.

AGREEMENT

The parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Section 1. Defined Terms.

1.1 Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

1.2 As used in this Agreement, the term “Amorcyte Stockholders” refers to the Persons who were stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the First Effective Time or to which the rights under this Agreement have been assigned as set forth herein. “Escrowed Shares” refers to the 6,821,283 shares of Parent Common Stock being issued as the Base Stock Consideration under the Merger Agreement.

Section 2. Escrow and Indemnification.

2.1 Appointment of Escrow Agent; Shares and Stock Powers Placed in Escrow. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is hereby appointed to serve as Escrow Agent hereunder, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company hereby agrees to serve as Escrow Agent hereunder. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, promptly following the First Effective Time, (a) Parent shall issue certificates for the Escrowed Shares registered in the name of the Escrow Agent evidencing 6,821,283 shares of Parent Common Stock to be held in escrow under this Agreement, and shall cause such certificates to be delivered to the Escrow Agent, and (b) the Amorcyte Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an “assignment separate from certificate” (“Stock Power”) endorsed by him in blank. Such endorsement by the Amorcyte Representative shall have been guaranteed by a national bank or an NYSE-Amex member firm.

2.2 Escrow Account. The Escrowed Shares being held in escrow pursuant to this Agreement, together with any distributions on the Escrowed Shares, shall collectively constitute an escrow fund securing the indemnification rights of Parent and the other Parent Indemnified Parties under the Merger Agreement. The Escrow Agent agrees to accept delivery of the Escrowed Shares and to hold the Escrowed Shares in a separate escrow account (such account, the “Escrow Account”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

2.3 Voting of Escrow Shares. The Escrow Agent, as record owner of the Escrowed Shares, shall exercise all voting rights with respect to such Escrowed Shares in accordance with Section 3.5 of the Merger Agreement, upon receipt of written instructions from the Amorcyte Representative. The Escrow Agent is not obligated to distribute to the Amorcyte Stockholders or to the Amorcyte Representative any proxy materials or other documents relating to the Escrowed Shares received by the Escrow Agent from Parent.

2.4 Reports. Upon the request of either Parent or the Amorcyte Representative, the Escrow Agent shall provide a statement to the requesting party that describes any deposit, distribution or investment activity or deductions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock held in the Escrow Account in addition to quarterly account statements from the Escrow Agent.

2.5 Dividends, Etc. Parent and the Amorcyte Representative, on behalf of each of the Amorcyte Stockholders, agree that any shares of Parent Common Stock or other property (including ordinary cash dividends) distributable or issuable (whether by way of dividend, stock split or otherwise) in respect of or in exchange for any Escrowed Shares (including pursuant to or as a part of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, reorganization or liquidation involving Parent) shall not be distributed or issued to the beneficial owners of such Escrowed Shares, but rather shall be distributed or issued to and held by the Escrow Agent in the Escrow Account. Any securities or other property received by the Escrow Agent in respect of any Escrowed Shares held in escrow as a result of any stock split or combination of shares of Parent Common Stock, payment of a stock dividend or other stock distribution in or on shares of Parent Common Stock, or change of Parent Common Stock into any other securities pursuant to or as a part of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, reorganization or liquidation involving Parent, or otherwise, shall be held by the Escrow Agent as part of the Escrow Account.

-2-

2.6 Transferability. Except as expressly provided for herein or by operation of law, the interests of the Amorcyte Stockholders in the Escrow Account shall not be assignable or transferable.

2.7 Trust Fund. The Escrow Account shall be held as trust funds and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of Escrow Agent, any Amorcyte Stockholder or Parent, respectively, or of any party hereto. The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Account until the Escrow Termination Date (as defined in Section 3.3) or earlier distribution in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 3. Release of Escrow Shares.

3.1 General. (X) Within ten (10) calendar days after receiving either (a) written instructions from the Parent (a “Parent Notice”) which have not been objected to by the Amorcyte Representative within thirty (30) calendar days after the Parent’s delivery of such Parent Notice to the Amorcyte Representative, (b) joint written instructions from Parent and the Amorcyte Representative (“Joint Instructions”), (c) a decision and/or award from the Arbitrator (an “Arbitration Award”) or (d) an order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Court Order”) relating to the release of any Escrowed Shares from the Escrow Account or (Y) in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall release or cause to be released any such Escrowed Shares and any other amounts from the Escrow Account, in the amounts, to the Persons and in the manner set forth in such Parent Notice, Joint Instructions, Arbitration Award, Court Order or as provided in Section 3.3, as applicable. If a Parent Notice is sent under Section 8.4 of the Merger Agreement and such Parent Notice is not disputed as provided in Section 8.4 within thirty (30) calendar days, the Escrow Agent shall make the distribution requested by the Parent Notice without action by the Amorcyte Representative.

3.2 Pro Rata Distributions. For purposes of this Agreement, all distributions to the Amorcyte Stockholders shall be pro rata distributions made based on the percentages set forth on Schedule 1, as may be amended from time to time pursuant to Section 9.8 of this Agreement, except that no fractional shares shall be issued, and all amounts released from the Escrow Account and distributed to the Amorcyte Representative on behalf of the Amorcyte Stockholders shall be rounded up or down pursuant to Section 3.4(e) of the Merger Agreement.

(a) Within ten (10) Business Days following the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Six-Month Release Date”), the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to the Amorcyte Stockholders in accordance with the Percentage Certification as of the Six-Month Release Date an aggregate of up to 20% of the Base Stock Consideration in the Escrow Account (the “Six-Month Release Amount”), provided, however, that if there are claims for Damages against the Escrow Account that have not been finally resolved and paid as of the Six-Month Release Date, the Escrow Agent shall release and deliver to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to the Amorcyte Stockholders only a number of Escrowed Shares equal to the positive difference, if any, between (i) the Six-Month Release Amount and (ii) the number of Escrowed Shares then being held with respect to pending claims against the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall deliver Escrowed Shares subject to pending claims that would have otherwise been released and delivered to the Amorcyte Representative pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) when the pending claims are finally resolved.

(b) Within ten (10) Business Days following the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “One-Year Release Date”), the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to the Amorcyte Stockholders in accordance with the Percentage Certification as of the One-Year Release Date the balance of shares of Parent Common Stock then held in the Escrow Account at such time except as follows: If no claims for Damages have been asserted against the Escrow Account by the Parent prior to the One-Year Release Date, then the Escrow Agent shall retain in the Escrow Account Parent Common Stock with a Current Value of $1,000,000 until the date that is two (2) years and one day after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Termination Date”). If any claims for Damages have been asserted against the Escrow Account by the Parent prior to the One-Year Release Date, then the Escrow Agent shall retain in the Escrow Account Parent Common Stock with a Current Value equal to the sum of (i) $2,000,000 plus (ii) the amount of any then pending and unresolved claims until the Escrow Termination Date.

(c) Within ten (10) Business Days following the Escrow Termination Date, if there are no claims for Damages pending against the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to the Amorcyte Stockholders in accordance with the Percentage Certification as of the Escrow Termination Date the balance of shares of Parent Common Stock and other property held in the Escrow Account at such time. If, on the Escrow Termination Date, there are claims for Damages against the Escrow Account that have not been finally resolved, then, within ten (10) Business Days of the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to the Amorcyte Stockholders the excess, if any, by which the value of the amounts held in the Escrow Account exceed an amount equal to 120% of the maximum amount of any claims for Damages against the Escrow Account that have not been finally resolved and paid at such time. Thereafter, final distributions of the Escrow Account shall be made in accordance with Section 3.1(X)(a), (b), (c) or (d), as applicable.

-4-

3.4 Distributions. Whenever a distribution of a number of shares of Parent Common Stock is to be made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall requisition the appropriate number of shares from Parent’s stock transfer agent, delivering to the transfer agent the appropriate stock certificates accompanied by the respective Stock Powers, together with the specific instructions, as appropriate. Within 5 Business Days prior to the date the Escrow Agent is required to make a distribution of shares of Parent Common Stock or other property (including ordinary cash dividends) to the Amorcyte Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall provide the Amorcyte Representative and the Parent with a notice specifying that a distribution will be made and requesting that the Amorcyte Representative update the then current Schedule 1 to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall make the appropriate distributions to the Amorcyte Representative for distribution to the Persons listed on such updated Schedule 1 in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to make any distribution under this Agreement unless it has received from the Amorcyte Representative an updated Schedule 1 to this Agreement as provided herein. Any distributions to Parent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be made to the address set forth in Schedule 2 hereto.

3.5 Disputes. All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to Section 3 of this Agreement that are not resolved by mutual agreement between Parent and the Amorcyte Representative shall be resolved solely and exclusively as set forth in Section 8.4 of the Merger Agreement by the Amorcyte Representative and the Parent.

Section 4. Fees and Expenses.

The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to receive, from time to time, fees in accordance with Schedule 3. In accordance with Schedule 3, the Escrow Agent will also be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent in the performance of its duties hereunder and the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All such fees and expenses shall be paid by Parent.

Section 5. Limitation of Escrow Agent’s Liability.

5.1 The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement only and shall have no duty under any other agreement or document, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall incur no liability with respect to any action taken by it or for any inaction on its part in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and duly authorized, nor for any other action or inaction except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In all questions arising under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may rely on the advice of counsel, and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Escrow Agent based upon such advice the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, punitive or consequential damages.

-5-

5.2 Parent and the Amorcyte Representative, acting on behalf of the Amorcyte Stockholders hereby agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold it and them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Escrow Agent, arising out of or in connection with the Escrow Agent’s carrying out its duties hereunder. This right of indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Escrow Agent.

Section 6. Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate upon the release by the Escrow Agent of the final amounts held in the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 3.

Section 7. Successor Escrow Agent.

In the event the Escrow Agent becomes unavailable or unwilling to continue as escrow agent under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder by giving its written resignation to the parties to this Agreement. Such resignation shall take effect not less than thirty (30) calendar days after it is given to all the other parties hereto. In such event, Parent may appoint a successor Escrow Agent (acceptable to the Amorcyte Representative, acting reasonably). If Parent fails to appoint a successor Escrow Agent within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving the Escrow Agent’s written resignation, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent. The successor Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent an instrument accepting such appointment, and the successor Escrow Agent shall, without further acts, be vested with all the estates, property rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Escrow Agent as if originally named as Escrow Agent herein. The Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with written instructions from Parent and the Amorcyte Representative as to the transfer of the Escrow Accounts to a successor Escrow Agent.

Section 8. Amorcyte Representative.

Unless and until Parent and the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of the appointment of a successor Amorcyte Representative, Parent and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, the power and authority of the Amorcyte Representative to act on behalf of the Amorcyte Stockholders.

Exhibit C

AMORCYTE WARRANT AGREEMENT

THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of _________, 2011, is entered into by and between NeoStem, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NeoStem” or the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the “Warrant Agent”).

WHEREAS, on __________, 2011, NeoStem consummated a merger (the “Merger”) of its wholly-owned subsidiary, AMO Acquisition Company, Inc. (“Subco”), with and into Amorcyte, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Amorcyte”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 13, 2011 (as such agreement may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among NeoStem, Amorcyte, Subco and AMO Acquisition Company II, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem;

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement provides that the Company will issue warrants to purchase One Million Eight Hundred Eighty-One Thousand Eight (1,881,008) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “NeoStem Common Stock”) exercisable over a seven year period at an exercise price of $1.466 per share (the “Warrants” or the “Amorcyte Warrants”);

WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights, and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent, and the holders of the Warrants.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Appointment of Warrant Agent and Depository. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Amorcyte Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Company initially appoints the Warrant Agent to act as Depository with respect to the Global Warrants as hereinafter defined.

2. Warrants.

2.1 Issuance of Warrants. Each Amorcyte Warrant shall be (a) issued by book-entry registration only and (b) evidenced by the Global Warrant, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, hereto (individually a “Global Warrant” and together, the “Global Warrants”), respectively, the provisions of which are incorporated herein.

2.2 Execution and Delivery of the Global Warrants.

2.2.1 Each Global Warrant shall be dated and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the officers of the Company executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or the respective Warrants, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto. The Global Warrants shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its chairman or vice chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), the chief financial officer, the president, any vice president, any assistant vice president, the treasurer or any assistant treasurer of the Company, which may but need not be attested to by its secretary or one of its assistant secretaries. Such signatures may be manual or facsimile signatures of such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on each Global Warrant. From time to time, in accordance with the Warrant Agent’s customary practices, the Warrant Agent shall send to each Holder (as hereinafter defined) a statement reflecting such Holder’s book-entry position in the Warrants and any changes thereto (the “Warrant Statement”). The terms and conditions of each Global Warrant are incorporated herein by this reference and made a part hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any terms or conditions of the Global Warrant or the Warrant Statement shall be found to conflict with any terms or conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the respective Global Warrants shall control except that the Warrant Agent’s procedures relating to the exercise of book-entry interests in the Global Warrants shall control the exercise of the Warrants.

2.2.2 Each Global Warrant shall represent the respective number of outstanding Warrants from time to time endorsed thereon and the respective number of outstanding Warrants represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions, exercises and other similar transactions.

2.2.3 No Warrant shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until the Global Warrant has been countersigned by the Warrant Agent by manual or facsimile signature. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon the Global Warrant executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Global Warrant so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.

2.2.4 In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Global Warrants either manually or by facsimile signature shall cease to be such officer before such Global Warrant so signed shall have been countersigned and delivered by the Warrant Agent as provided herein, such Global Warrant may be countersigned and delivered notwithstanding that the person who signed such Global Warrant ceased to be such officer of the Company; and such Global Warrant may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Global Warrant, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such officer.

-2-

2.2.5 The term “Holder” shall mean, when used with respect to any Warrant, any person in whose name a Warrant is issued at the time such Warrant shall be registered upon the books to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose.

3. Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

3.1 Exercise Price. For purposes of this Agreement, “Exercise Price” shall mean the initial exercise price for each Warrant as set forth in the Global Warrant, subject to adjustment as provided in the Global Warrant.

3.2 Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise Period”) specified in the Global Warrant or as the same may be extended as hereinafter provided. Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price if the Warrants have been redeemed (as set forth in the Global Warrant), each Warrant not exercised on or before the expiration date, as set forth in the Global Warrant (the “Expiration Date”), shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the close of business on the Expiration Date.

3.3 Exercise of Warrants. Warrants may be exercised, at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, by complying with the Warrant Agent’s procedures relating to the exercise of such book-entry interest in the Global Warrant. In addition, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at the then designated office of the Warrant Agent (the “Warrant Agent Office”) (i) the Exercise Form substantially in the form attached to the Global Warrant duly executed by such Holder or its duly authorized agent or attorney (the “Exercise Form”) and (ii) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price. In case an exercise of Warrants is in part only, the Warrant Agent shall make an appropriate adjustment to the account of the Holder to reflect a number of Warrants for the number of shares of NeoStem Common Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof) to the number of such shares called for by such Holder’s Warrants prior to such exercise, minus the number of shares designated by the Holder upon such exercise.

3.3.1 Payment. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in accordance with the procedures in the Global Warrant and this Agreement.

3.3.2 Procedures and Validity.

(a) Any exercise of a Warrant by a Holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a binding agreement between the Holder and the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(b) The Warrant Agent shall:

(i) examine all Exercise Forms and all other documents delivered to it by or on behalf of Holders as contemplated hereunder to ascertain whether or not, on their face, such Exercise Forms and any such other documents have been executed and completed in accordance with their terms and the terms hereof;

-3-

(ii) where an Exercise Form or other document appears on its face to have been improperly completed or executed or some other irregularity in connection with the exercise of the Warrants exists, the Warrant Agent shall endeavor to inform the appropriate parties (including the person submitting such instrument) of the need for fulfillment of all requirements, specifying those requirements which appear to be unfulfilled;

(iii) inform the Company of and cooperate with and assist the Company in resolving any reconciliation problems between the Exercise Forms received and the crediting of Warrants to the respective Holders’ accounts; and

(iv) advise the Company no later than two (2) business days after receipt of an Exercise Form, of (i) the receipt of such Exercise Form and the number of Warrants exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) the percentage of the then outstanding Warrants represented by such exercise and (iii) such other information as the Company shall reasonably require.

(c) All questions as to the validity, form and sufficiency (including time of receipt) of an exercised Warrant and any Exercise Form will be determined by the Company in good faith. The Company reserves the right to reject any and all Exercise Forms not in proper form or for which any corresponding agreement by the Company to exchange would, in the opinion of the Company, be unlawful. Moreover, the Company reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions to the exercise of Warrants or defects in the exercise thereof with regard to any particular exercise of Warrants. Other than as required in Section 3.3.2(b)(ii) above, neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be under any duty to give notice to the Holders of the Warrants of any irregularities in any exercise of Warrants or any Exercise Form, nor shall it incur any liability for the failure to give such notice.

3.3.3 Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder of such Warrant a certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares of NeoStem Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any securities pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) with respect to the NeoStem Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to the shares of NeoStem Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is available for delivery to the Holders or (b) in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the exercise of the Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such securities are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which the registered holder resides. Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any Holder in any state in which such exercise or issuance would be unlawful. In the event that a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the NeoStem Common Stock underlying the Warrants is not effective or a current prospectus is not available, a Holder shall not be entitled to exercise his, her or its Warrants unless an exemption from registration is available. In the event that during the last 20 business days immediately prior to the Expiration Date both (i) a registration statement with respect to the NeoStem Common Stock underlying the Warrants is not effective or a current prospectus is not available and (ii) the Exercise Price of the Warrants is less than the price at which the NeoStem Common Stock is trading on the NYSE Amex (or if the NeoStem Common Stock is no longer trading on the NYSE Amex, such other stock exchange on which the shares of NeoStem Common Stock trades), the Exercise Period shall automatically be extended for a period of 20 business days after the date that the Company causes a registration statement covering the NeoStem Common Stock underlying the Warrants to be effective and a current prospectus is made available. In no event will the Company be required to “net cash settle” the warrant exercise.

-4-

3.3.4 Valid Issuance. All shares of NeoStem Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

3.3.5 Date of Issuance. All shares of NeoStem Common Stock so issued shall be registered in the name of the Holder or such other name as shall be designated in the Exercise Form delivered by the Holder. Such shares of NeoStem Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of NeoStem Common Stock as of the date of delivery of the Exercise Form to the Warrant Agent Office duly executed by the Holder thereof and upon the Company’s receipt of payment of the Exercise Price.

4. Adjustments.

4.1 Adjustments Generally. The Exercise Price, the number of shares of NeoStem Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the number of Warrants outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events in accordance with the provisions of the Global Warrant.

4.2 Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of (i) the Exercise Price, (ii) the number of shares of NeoStem Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and (iii) the number of Warrants outstanding, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in the Global Warrant then, in any such event, the Company shall give written notice to each Holder, at the last address set forth for such Holder in the Warrant register maintained by the Warrant Agent, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

4.3 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the Holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round up or down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of NeoStem Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.

-5-

4.4 Form of Warrant. The form of Global Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4. However, the Company may, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of Global Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof.

5. Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.

5.1 Exchange and Transfer.

5.1.1 The Warrant Agent shall keep, at the Warrant Agent Office, books in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register Warrants and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrants upon request to exchange or transfer such Warrants, provided, that the Warrant Agent shall have received a written instruction of transfer or exchange in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or by his duly authorized agent or attorney, providing all information required to be delivered hereunder, such signature to be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution to the extent required by the Warrant Agent or the Depository. Upon any such registration of transfer, a Warrant Statement shall be issued to the transferee.

5.1.2 No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants; however, the Warrant Agent and/or the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other charge that may be imposed in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. Neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be required to pay any stamp or other tax or other charge required to be paid in connection with such transfer, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be required to issue or deliver any Warrants until it has been established to the Company’s and the Warrant Agent’s satisfaction that such tax or other charge has been paid or that no such tax or other charge is due.

5.1.3 The Warrant Agent shall not effect any exchange or registration of transfer which will result in the issuance of a Warrant evidencing a fraction of a Warrant or a number of full Warrants and a fraction of a Warrant.

5.1.4 All Warrants credited to a Holder’s or transferee’s account upon any exchange or transfer of Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same obligations, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Warrants that were so exchanged or transferred.

5.2 Treatment of Holders of Warrants. Each Holder of Warrants, by accepting the same, consents and agrees with the Company, the Warrant Agent and every subsequent Holder of such Warrants that until the transfer of such Warrants is registered on the books of such Warrant Agent, the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the registered Holder of such Warrants as the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced thereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding.

-6-

5.3 Restrictions on Transfers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event may any Holder transfer any NeoStem Common Stock received upon the exercise of a Warrant until after the one year anniversary of the date of issuance of the Global Warrant.

5.4 Cancellation of Global Warrant. Promptly following the Expiration Date or at such earlier time that there are no longer outstanding any Warrants, the Global Warrants shall be cancelled or destroyed and the Warrant Agent shall deliver a certificate of such cancellation or destruction to the Company.

6. Redemption. The Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, in accordance with the provisions of the Global Warrant.

7. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

7.1 No Rights as Stockholder. No Warrant shall, and nothing contained in this Agreement, in the Global Warrants or in the Warrant Statement shall be construed to, entitle the Holder or any beneficial owner thereof to any of the rights of a holder or beneficial owner of NeoStem Common Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, to receive dividends on NeoStem Common Stock or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company, until such Warrant is duly exercised in accordance with this Agreement and such Holder is issued the NeoStem Common Stock to which it is entitled in connection therewith.

7.2 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of NeoStem Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.

7.3 Registration of Common Stock. The Company included the shares of NeoStem Common Stock underlying the Warrants in the registration statement on Form S-4 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Merger (the “Registration Statement”). The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or file and maintain the effectiveness of another registration statement covering the shares of NeoStem Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants at any time that both (a) the Warrants are exercisable and (b) the Exercise Price of the Warrants is less than 105% of the price at which the NeoStem Common Stock is trading on the NYSE Amex (or if the NeoStem Common Stock is no longer trading on the NYSE Amex, such other stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock trades). In no event will any Holder of a Warrant be entitled to receive a “net cash settlement” in lieu of physical settlement in shares of NeoStem Common Stock regardless of whether the Company complies with this Section 7.3.

-7-

7.4 Limitation on Monetary Damages. In no event shall the Holder of a Warrant be entitled to receive monetary damages for failure to settle any Warrant exercise if the NeoStem Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants has not been registered with the SEC pursuant to an effective registration statement or if a current prospectus is not available for delivery by the Warrant Agent, provided the Company has fulfilled its obligations under Section 7.3 to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the NeoStem Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The foregoing limitation on damages shall not apply to an exercise in connection with a redemption of a Warrant.

8. Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.

8.1 Payment of Taxes. The Company will from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of NeoStem Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares.

8.2 Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent.

8.2.1 Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company and to each Holder. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by any Holder of a Warrant, then the Holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.

8.2.2 Notice of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to each Holder, the predecessor Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for the NeoStem Common Stock not later than the effective date of any such appointment.

-8-

8.2.3 Merger or Consolidation of Warrant Agent. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further act.

8.3 Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent.

8.3.1 Remuneration. The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as such Warrant Agent hereunder and will reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.

8.3.2 Further Assurances. The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement.

8.4 Liability of Warrant Agent.

8.4.1 Reliance on Company Statement. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the General Counsel, President or Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

8.4.2 Indemnity. The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement, except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

8.4.3 Exclusions. The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant; nor shall it be responsible to make any adjustments required under the provisions of Section 4 hereof or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of NeoStem Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any shares of NeoStem Common Stock will when issued be valid and fully paid and nonassessable.

-9-

8.5 Acceptance of Agency. The Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth and, among other things, shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently account for, and pay to the Company, all moneys received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of shares of NeoStem Common Stock through the exercise of Warrants.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF GLOBAL WARRANT CERTIFICATE FOR AMORCYTE WARRANTS

EXERCISABLE ONLY IF AUTHENTICATED BY THE

WARRANT AGENT AS PROVIDED HEREIN

VOID AFTER THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON __________, 2018

NEOSTEM, INC.

Global Warrant Certificate representing

Warrants to purchase __________ shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share

as described herein

NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

Each Warrant (each a “Warrant”) represented hereby, entitles the holder to purchase one share (the “Warrant Share”) of common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of NeoStem, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Corporation”) for the benefit of certain Holders (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of such Warrants on the following terms. This Global Warrant Certificate represents the number of outstanding Warrants from time to time endorsed hereon and the number of outstanding Warrants represented hereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate to reflect exchanges, redemptions, exercises and other similar transactions. This Global Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, and is subject to the terms and provisions contained therein, all of which terms and provisions the Holders consent to by acceptance of their book-entry interests in the Global Warrant Certificate. Copies of the Warrant Agreement are on file at the Corporation’s headquarters. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Global Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Agreement, this Global Warrant Certificate shall control. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Warrant Agreement dated as of _________, 2011 by and between the Corporation and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (as such agreement may be amended from time to time, the “Warrant Agreement”).

1. Exercise Period. The Warrants shall vest in full and become exercisable on _________, 2011 (the “Vesting Date”) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, shall expire at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on ___________, 2018 (the “Termination Date”).

-14-

2. Exercise of Warrants. Each Holder may, at any time on or after the Vesting Date and prior to the Termination Date, exercise his, her or its Warrant in whole or in part at an exercise price per share equal to $1.466 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Exercise Price”), by the delivery of the Warrant Exercise Form annexed hereto duly completed and executed to the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agent Office or at such other agency or office of the Corporation in the United States of America as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, and by payment to the Corporation of the Exercise Price in lawful money of the United States by certified check or wire transfer for each share of Common Stock being purchased. Upon any partial exercise of a Warrant, the Warrant Agent shall make an appropriate adjustment to the account of the Holder to reflect a number of warrants for the account of the Holder equal (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof) to the number of shares called for by such Holder’s Warrants prior to such exercise, minus the number of shares designated by the Holder upon such exercise. In the event of the exercise of the rights represented by any Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, as applicable, registered in the name of the Holder, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof as soon as practicable after the rights represented by such Warrant shall have been so exercised.

3. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Corporation agrees that, prior to the expiration of this Warrant, it will at all times have authorized and in reserve, and will keep available, solely for issuance or delivery upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants represented by this Global Warrant Certificate, the number of Warrant Shares as from time to time shall be issuable by the Corporation upon the exercise of this Warrant.

4. No Stockholder Rights; No Rights to Net Cash Settled. No Warrant shall entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Corporation. In no event may any Warrant be net cash settled.

5. Transferability of Warrant and Underlying Shares. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to compliance with applicable Federal and State securities and other laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Corporation by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement and upon delivery of the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed for transfer. The Corporation or the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to require, as a condition of any such transfer, that the Holder and the transferee execute or provide such documents and make such representations and warranties as the Corporation or the Warrant Agent may deem appropriate to evidence compliance with applicable law or otherwise. None of the Warrant Shares, if issued, may be transferred by the Holder until after the date that is one year after the date of issuance of this Warrant.

6. Certain Adjustments. With respect to any rights that any Holder has to exercise any Warrant and convert into shares of Common Stock, Holder shall be entitled to the following adjustments:

-15-

(a) Merger or Consolidation. If at any time there shall be a merger or a consolidation of the Corporation with or into another entity when the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, then, as part of such merger or consolidation, lawful provision shall be made so that the holder hereof shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of each Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, to which the holder hereof as the holder of the stock deliverable upon exercise of each Warrant would have been entitled in such merger or consolidation if each Warrant had been exercised immediately before such transaction. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of each Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the holder hereof as the holder of each Warrant after the merger or consolidation.

(b) Reclassification, Recapitalization, etc. If the Corporation at any time shall, by subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities, recapitalization, automatic conversion, or other similar event affecting the number or character of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under each Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, each Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under each Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change.

(c) Split or Combination of Common Stock and Stock Dividend. In case the Corporation shall at any time subdivide, redivide, recapitalize, split (forward) or change its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or declare a dividend upon its Common Stock payable solely in shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares proportionately increased. Conversely, in case of a reverse stock split or the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares proportionately reduced.

7. Compliance with Securities Laws; Legend and Stop Transfer Orders. Unless the Warrant Shares are subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, upon exercise of any part of any Warrant represented hereby, (i) the Corporation shall be entitled to require that the Holder make such representations and warranties as may be reasonably required by the Corporation to assure that the issuance of Warrant Shares is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws and (ii) the Corporation shall instruct its transfer agent to enter stop transfer orders with respect to such Warrant Shares, and all certificates or instruments representing the Warrant Shares shall bear on the face thereof substantially the following legend:

-16-

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

8. Redemption of Warrant. Each Warrant is subject to redemption by the Corporation as provided in this Section 8.

(a) Each Warrant may be redeemed, at the option of the Corporation, in whole and not in part, at a redemption price of $.0001 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”), provided the average closing price of the Common Stock as quoted by Bloomberg, LP., or the Principal Trading Market (as defined below) on which the Common Stock is included for quotation or trading, shall equal or exceed $____ per share (taking into account all adjustments) for twenty (20) out of thirty (30) consecutive trading days.

(b) If the conditions set forth in Section 8(a) are met, and the Corporation desires to exercise its right to redeem each Warrant, it shall mail a notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to the registered holder of each Warrant by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least fourteen (14) business days prior to the date fixed by the Corporation for redemption of the Warrants (the “Redemption Date”).

(c ) The Redemption Notice shall specify (i) the Redemption Price, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the redemption price payable, and (iv) that the right to exercise each Warrant shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. No failure to mail such notice nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for such redemption except as to a holder (a) to whom notice was not mailed, or (b) whose notice was defective. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation that the Redemption Notice has been mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

(d) Any right to exercise a Warrant shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date, the holder of each Warrant shall have no further rights except to receive the Redemption Price.

(e) From and after the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall, at the place specified in the Redemption Notice, upon presentation and surrender to the Corporation by or on behalf of the holder thereof the warrant certificates evidencing each Warrant being redeemed, deliver, or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of such holder, a sum in cash equal to the Redemption Price of each Warrant. From and after the Redemption Date, each Warrant shall expire and become void and all rights hereunder, except the right to receive payment of the Redemption Price, shall cease.

-17-

9. Miscellaneous. This Global Warrant Certificate and each Warrant represented hereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. All the covenants and provisions of this Global Warrant Certificate and each Warrant by or for the benefit of the Corporation shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns hereunder. Nothing in this Global Warrant Certificate shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Corporation and the holder of each Warrant represented hereby any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under this Global Warrant Certificate and each Warrant represented hereby. This Global Warrant Certificate and each Warrant represented hereby shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Corporation and the Holder. The section headings herein are for convenience only and are not part of this Global Warrant Certificate and shall not affect the interpretation hereof.

Exhibit D

FORM OF OPINION FROM AMORCYTE COUNSEL

NeoStem, Inc.

420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 450

New York, New York 10170

Re: NeoStem Agreement and Plan of Merger

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as legal counsel to Amorcyte, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the execution and delivery of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Company, NeoStem, Inc. (“NeoStem”), AMO Acquisition Company I, Inc., and AMO Acquisition Company II, LLC (the “Agreement”). This opinion is being delivered to the parent pursuant to Article 7.2(e) of the Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

In rendering the following opinions, we have made such inquiries and examined such documents as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purpose of rendering the opinions herein set forth. As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied, without independent verification, upon representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreement and upon public records. We have not undertaken any special or independent examination or investigation to determine the existence of, or absence of, facts or circumstances not otherwise expressly disclosed to us, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence of, or absence of, such facts or circumstances should be drawn merely from our representation of the Company. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. Further, in rendering the following opinion, we note that we have not conducted a docket search in any jurisdiction with respect to litigation that may be pending against the Company or any of its officers or directors. However, to our knowledge, except as disclosed in the disclosure schedules to the Agreement, we know of no facts or circumstances that are contrary to the opinions expressed herein.

Based upon such examination and in reliance thereon and having regard for legal considerations which we deem relevant, subject to the assumptions set forth herein and the limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the following opinions:

The opinion of counsel to Amorcyte, Inc. (the “Company”) shall be to the effect that:

1. The Company is a Delaware corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is duly qualified and in good standing to do business as a foreign corporation in the State of New Jersey.

2. The Company has the requisite power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business as presently conducted and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

3. The Company’s board of directors and stockholders have taken all action necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

SECOND AMENDMENT OF LEASE

(Progenitor Cell Therapy — Building F, 291 North Bernardo Ave.)

This Agreement is made effective as of July 1, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and between the Vanni Business Park, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lessor”), and Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lessee”).

RECITALS:

A. By lease dated for reference purposes September 1, 2005, Lessee leased from Lessor certain premises (the “Premises”) consisting of the entire building commonly known as Building F located at 291 North Bernardo Avenue in the City of Mountain View, County of Santa Clara, State of California (the “Building”) and containing approximately 25,024 rentable square feet of floor space. Said lease was amended by that certain First Amendment of Lease dated July 1, 2006 (said lease, as so amended, herein called the “Lease”). Unless extended by Lessee pursuant to Section 21 of the Lease, the term of the Lease is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2012.

B. Lessor and Lessee now desire to extend the Lease term to June 30, 2017, and to make certain other changes to the Lease as set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT:

1.	Term. Section 3.01 of the Lease is hereby amended such that the term of the Lease is extended to June 30, 2017.

Rent.

(a)

Section 4.01 of the Lease is hereby amended such that the monthly rent for the Premises from and after July 1, 2012 shall be equal to Forty One Thousand Two Hundred Eighty Nine Dollars and Sixty Cents ($41,289.60).

(b)

The monthly Base Rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted as of July 1, 2013 and each annual anniversary of such date (each such date herein called a “Rental Adjustment Date”) during the term of this Lease to reflect any changes in the cost of living. The adjustment or adjustments, if any, shall be calculated upon the basis of the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, for San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose (1982-84=100). hereafter referred to as the “Index.” The Index for said subgroup most recently published as of the July 1, 2012 shall be considered the “base.” On the first Rental Adjustment Date, the monthly rent shall be adjusted by the percentage increase, if any, in the most recent and available Index as of the first Rental Adjustment Date over the base. On each subsequent Rental Adjustment Date, if any, the monthly rent (as previously adjusted) shall be further adjusted by the percentage increase, if any, in the most recent and available Index as of the then applicable Rental Adjustment Date over the Index as of the preceding Rental Adjustment Date. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, the monthly Base Rent shall not be increased on any Rental Adjustment Date by an amount which is less than three percent (3%) or which is more than seven percent (7%) of the rent payable for the calendar month immediately preceding such Rental Adjustment Date. When the Base Rent is determined upon the Rental Adjustment Date, Lessor shall give Lessee written notice to that effect indicating how the new monthly rent figure was computed in accordance with this paragraph. If the Index does not exist on any Rental Adjustment Date in the same format as referred to in this paragraph, Lessor shall substitute in lieu thereof an index reasonably comparable to the Index referred to above which is then published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or by a successor or similar governmental agency, or, if no governmental agency then publishes an index, Lessor shall substitute therefor any commonly accepted index designed to reflect changes in the cost of living which is published by a reputable private organization.

3.	Extended Term Rent.

(a)

The fourth sentence of the second paragraph of Section 21.2 of the Lease is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Such brokers so appointed shall each determine the fair market monthly base rent for the Premises s of the commencement of the Extended Term, taking into account the value of the Premises and prevailing comparable rentals in the area including the value of any improvements in the Premises as of July 1, 2011 (“Existing Improvements”) and any “Lessee Improvements” (as that term is defined in the Second Amendment to Lease (the “Second Amendment”) executed by Lessor and Lessee amending this Lease) installed and/or constructed in accordance with the Second Amendment, but disregarding any demolition or other changes to Existing Improvements subsequent to July 1, 2011, and disregarding any demolition or other changes to Lessee Improvements once such Lessee Improvements are first completed, and further disregarding any additional improvements installed in the Premises by Lessee at Lessee’s sole cost after July 1, 2011 that are not Lessee Improvements.

(b)

The penultimate sentence of Section 21.2 of the Lease as amended by this Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 21.2, in no event shall the beginning monthly base rent for the Extended Term be less than the monthly base rent payable hereunder for the last full month of the term of this Lease immediately preceding commencement of the Extended Term multiplied by 1.03.”

Construction of Lessee Improvements. Lessee shall be entitled to make such improvements, additions and alterations to the Premises (subject to the provisions of Section 8.03 of the Lease regarding alterations) as Lessee may desire after the Effective Date (such improvements, additions and alterations herein called the “Lessee Improvements”). Construction and payment for the Lessee Improvements shall be subject to the following provisions:

(a)

The Lessee Improvements shall be constructed by Lessee within the Premises at Lessee’s sole cost and without cost or expense to Lessor, subject to the Improvement Allowance referred to in Paragraph 3(e) below. Lessor shall not be obligated to perform any work or provide any improvements whatsoever to the Premises in connection with the Lessee Improvements.

(b)

The Lessee Improvements shall consist of such work as is reflected in one or more sets of plans and specifications therefor caused to be prepared by Lessee. Lessee may construct and install Lessee Improvements in stages as Lessee in its sole discretion determines, provided that (i) each such stage is constructed pursuant to a separate Lessor Approved Plan in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) no work for any separate stage commences before occurrence of the Completion of Construction (as defined below) respecting construction work for all stages for which an Approved Plan has previously been agreed by Lessor and Lessee, and (iii) no demolition of then existing improvements occurs except that which is specified in such Lessor Approved Plan, Lessee shall not request approval of any demolition of then existing improvements in any particular proposed plans and specifications submitted to Lessor beyond demolition reasonably necessary to construct and install Lessee Improvements specified in such plans and specifications (i.e., Lessee will not specify demolition for later stages of construction of Lessee Improvements until seeking approval of plans and specifications for such later stages of Lessee Improvements). Each such set of plans and specifications for Lessee Improvements shall be submitted to Lessor for its approval thereof, and approved (if at all) by Lessor within fifteen (15) business days following Lessor’s receipt of such plans and specifications and Lessee’s request for approval thereof. If Lessor does not expressly approve any proposed plans and specifications within said fifteen (15) business days period of time, then such proposed plans and specifications shall be deemed disapproved. The Lessee Improvements shall be deemed alterations to the Premises and subject to the provisions of Section 8.03 of the Lease as amended by this Agreement; provided that, any conflict between the provisions of said Section 8.03 and this Paragraph 4 shall be governed by the provisions of this Paragraph 4. Lessee advises Lessor that the Lessee Improvements will be comprised of 1, 2 or 3 clean rooms, laboratory space and office space that are generally consistent in size and type with the 5 clean rooms, laboratory space and offices installed by Lessee in the Premises prior to the Effective Date. Notwithstanding language in Section 8.03 of the Lease that gives Lessor the right to disapprove installation of interior walls, improvements affecting Building systems, and roof penetrations, Lessor will not have the right to disapprove such clean room, laboratory space or office space Lessee Improvements based solely on the fact that they entail interior walls, affect Building systems, or require roof penetrations so long as such interior clean room, laboratory space or office space walls, their effect on Building systems, and the scope and type of roof penetrations entailed are generally consistent with those made for the existing clean rooms, laboratory space or office space in the Building installed by Lessee prior to the Effective Date. Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.03 of the Lease, Lessor’s right to require a lien and completion bond shall be limited so that as a condition to giving Lessor’s consent to requested Lessee Improvements, Lessor may require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, with a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half (1-1/2) times the amount by which the aggregate estimated cost of all Lessee Improvements constructed after the Effective Date exceeds the Improvement Allowance (as defined below), to insure Lessor against any liability for mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and to insure completion of the work in excess of the Improvement Allowance. Once final detailed plans and specifications for any phase or portion of the Lessee Improvements have been approved by Lessor (if at all), Lessee shall not make any changes to such plans and specifications (including without limitation any changes that may be required by applicable law) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lessor; provided that, Lessee shall be entitled to make changes thereto without first obtaining Lessor’s further approval but only with respect to nonstructural changes that do not affect any of the Building systems the aggregate cost of which for all the Lessee Improvements does not exceed Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) for clean room and/or laboratory space improvements, and One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) for office space improvements, and provided that either prior to or within one (1) business day after making any such changes Lessee delivers to Lessor and Lessor receives notice and a detailed description of such changes. Such final detailed plans and specifications approved by Lessor in writing, and any changes thereto approved by Lessor in writing as well as the non-material changes made within the scope of the preceding sentence, are herein called the “Approved Plans.” Lessee at its expense shall obtain all approvals and permits required by applicable governmental authority to perform the Lessee Improvements work, and Lessor shall have no responsibility or liability for obtaining the same. Lessor shall be entitled to charge Lessee up to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) for each set of schematic plans and specifications and each set of detailed plans and specifications that Lessee submits to Lessor for Lessor’s review and approval. Lessor shall not be obligated to supervise or monitor construction of the Lessee Improvements and shall not charge any supervisory fee in connection with construction of the Lessee Improvements; provided that, Lessor shall be entitled to charge a supervisory fee up to fifteen percent (15%) of the costs relating to (i) any Lessee Improvements that Lessee in writing requests Lessor to monitor construction of and that Lessor agrees in writing to monitor construction of, (ii) any Lessee Improvements the construction of which Lessor is required to monitor by applicable law, ordinance, code or other promulgation of lawful governmental authority, (iii) any Lessee Improvements that affect the structure, exterior, or life safety systems (e.g. fire sprinklers and water supply systems) of the Building that Lessor in its sole and reasonable discretion determines should be monitored by Lessor and that Lessor actually monitors or causes to be monitored for the benefit of Lessor. In the event Lessor monitors or supervises construction of any Lessee Improvements pursuant to the preceding sentence, such monitoring or supervision shall not imply or create on the part of Lessor any liability or responsibility for conformance of the Approved Plans with applicable requirements of law or with the Approved Plans, and such monitoring or supervision shall be solely for the benefit of Lessor.

(c)

All Lessee Improvements work shall be performed by a licensed California general contractor with experience in performing tenant improvements of the type set forth in the Approved Plans in first class office buildings similar to the Building and who does not have any mechanics’ liens filed of public record in connection with work it has performed in the immediately preceding one year. Lessee shall not hire any general contractor to perform such work unless Lessor has first approved such contractor in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed for more than ten (10) days. Lessee shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that no other tenants in the Vanni Business Park are in any way disrupted or inconvenienced by the Lessee Improvement work; provided that, if Lessee anticipates minor disruptions and/or inconveniences to other tenants in the Vanni Business Park as a consequence of specific actions relating to construction of the Lessee Improvements, then provided that Lessee advises Lessor in writing that such actions may cause minor disruptions and/or inconveniences to other tenants in the Vanni Business Park and obtains Lessor’s written consent to such actions in advance of taking any such actions, then Lessee may cause such actions to be performed even though such actions may cause minor disruptions and/or inconveniences to other tenants in the Vanni Business Park. Nothing in the preceding sentence in any way modifies Lessee’s indemnification obligations to Lessor under the Lease. Subject to the foregoing, Lessee shall ensure that no unreasonable levels of noise and no odors emanate from the Premises in connection with such work. Without first obtaining Lessor’s written approval, Lessee shall prevent its contractors, employees and suppliers from blocking parking and traffic circulation in the roadways and parking areas serving the Vanni Business Park. Lessee shall not commence construction of the Lessee Improvements unless and until all of the following have occurred: (1) the Approved Plans exist, and (2) all required governmental approvals and permits to construct the Lessee Improvements have been obtained by Lessee (Lessor shall have no obligation to obtain any of same) and Lessee has delivered to Lessor (and Lessor has received) a copy thereof. Once Lessee has commenced construction of the Lessee Improvements, Lessee thereafter shall diligently and continuously prosecute such construction to completion. The Lessee Improvements shall be constructed by Lessee (i) using only new materials of first class quality, (ii) in a first class workmanlike manner, (iii) in strict accordance with the Approved Plans, and (iv) in compliance with all applicable laws, codes, ordinances and regulations of lawful governmental authority, including without limitation any requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Lessee shall comply with all conditions of said permits in a prompt and expeditious manner. All installation of air conditioning equipment and duct work requiring penetration of the roof of the Building shall be properly flashed and caulked, and, unless Lessor waives such requirement in writing, shall be coordinated with and performed by the roofing contractor who installed the Building roof in order to prevent any warranty respecting the roof obtained by Lessor from being rendered void. Any electrical or refrigeration conduits or other piping or materials installed in the Building shall be installed beneath the surface of the roof (and not on the surface of the roof), and Lessee shall thereafter repair and re-roof the affected portions of the roof surface (again using such roofing contractor who installed the roof so as not to void any roof warranties). Any equipment placed on the roof shall be elevated and supported so as not to inhibit drainage or any repair work on the roof. Lessee hereby indemnifies Lessor from and against all claims, liability, cost, and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with the Lessee Improvements work (subject to Lessor’s obligation to pay the Improvement Allowance as provided below). The parties understand and agree that Lessor has no obligation to install or provide telephone equipment and wiring and office equipment wiring, any cubicles, or any other improvements or alterations in connection with the Lessee Improvements, all of which shall be provided and installed, if at all, by Lessee. Lessee shall pay for any upgrades to the Premises and/or the Building and the parking areas serving the Building required by applicable governmental code, regulation, or other law necessitated as a consequence of installing or constructing the Lessee Improvements, including without limitation, improvements and alterations required to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act, earthquake codes, and “green” energy or environmental codes and statutes. Such obligation in the preceding sentence shall not require Lessee to make or pay for changes to the Building and such parking area to the extent Lessor’s failure to make the same prior to Lessee’s application to install or construct the Lessee Improvements constitutes a violation of such applicable governmental code, regulation, or other law. The intent of the parties with respect to the preceding two sentences is to ensure that if governmental requirements mandate changes to the Building and such parking area, and the need to make such changes has not yet been triggered prior to Lessee’s application to construct the Lessee Improvements but is triggered by Lessee’s applying for, installing, or constructing the Lessee Improvements, then Lessee and not Lessor will pay for same. Upon completion of the Lessee Improvements, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, at Lessee’s cost, “as-built” plans and specifications therefor.

(d)

Lessee shall secure, pay for, and maintain, or cause its general contractor performing the Lessee Improvements work and all subcontractors to secure, pay for, and maintain, during the continuance of all Lessee Improvements work, all of the insurance policies required in the amounts set forth below, together with such insurance as may from time to time be required by applicable law and any permits and approvals obtained from lawful governmental authorities. Lessee shall not permit any Lessee Improvements work to commence until all required insurance to be maintained by Lessee or, if maintained by Lessee’s general contractor, the general contractor, has been obtained and certificates of such insurance have been delivered to Lessor. All such insurance policies shall name Lessor as an additional insured. Certificates of insurance shall provide that there shall be no change or cancellation of such insurance until after notice thereof has been delivered to Lessor and passage of thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice. Lessor shall have the right to require Lessee, and Lessee shall have the duty, to stop work in the Premises immediately if any of the coverages required herein lapses during the course of the work, in which event Lessee shall not resume any such work until the required insurance is obtained and satisfactory evidence thereof is delivered to Lessor. The insurance, minimum amounts of coverage and minimum limits of liability required at a minimum are:

i) Worker’s Compensation with limits no less than the minimum statutory amounts as required by California law and any insurance required by any employee benefit act or similar statute applicable in California, as will protect the contractor and subcontractors from any and all liability under such laws.

ii) Commercial general liability insurance coverage (including contractor’s protective liability) in the minimum amounts of $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate, including property damage, personal and bodily injury liability.

iii) Comprehensive automotive liability insurance, for the ownership, maintenance, or operation of any automotive equipment, whether owned, leased, or otherwise held, including employer’s nonownership and hired car liability endorsements, in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, combined single limit bodily injury and property damage liability.

All such insurance shall insure such general contractor and all subcontractors against any and all claims for personal injury, death, and damage to the property of others arising from its operations under its construction contract in connection with construction of the Lessee Improvements, whether such operations are performed by the general contractor, any subcontractors, or subsubcontractors, or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them. The insurance required in this Paragraph 4(d) shall be in addition to any and all insurance required to be procured and maintained by Lessee under any other provisions of the Lease.

(e)

Lessee shall pay all costs relating to the Lessee Improvements except as otherwise provided in this paragraph. As provided below, Lessor shall pay to Lessee all Reimbursable Costs (as defined below) in an amount not to exceed the Improvement Allowance. “Reimbursable Costs” shall mean only the following costs and no other costs whatsoever: (i) the cost of labor by the general contractor(s) approved by Lessor constructing the Lessee Improvements and the subcontractors thereof; (ii) the cost of materials incorporated in the Lessee Improvements; (iii) the cost of demolition of existing improvements specified in the Approved Plans, (iv) fees for building permits, occupancy permits, use permits and other governmental permits, inspections and approvals required to construct and occupy the Lessee Improvements; (v) architect and engineering fees incurred to design and monitor construction of the Lessee Improvements from schematic to project completion; (vi) any charges by Lessor for monitoring or supervising construction of the Lessee Improvements, and (vii) costs of removing debris, construction materials, rubbish, rubble, and unused materials from the Premises resulting from the installation and construction of the Lessee Improvements. Reimbursable Costs specifically shall not include (i) any administrative or overhead costs of Lessee in any way relating to the Lessee Improvements, (ii) the cost of consultants (such as Scherer & Associates, Inc.), and (iii) the costs of any furniture or other movable personal property. No more often than once per calendar month starting July 1, 2012, Lessee may deliver to Lessor (i) a certificate in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor from Lessee’s project architect and general contractor specifying in reasonable detail the Lessee Improvement work that has been performed since the Effective Date, or in the event a prior certificate has been issued by such project architect and general contractor, as applicable, regarding Lessee Improvement work, then since the date of issuance of the most recently issued certificate, as well as specifying the amount of Reimbursable Costs that have been incurred in connection with performance of such work (the “Progress Payment Amount”), and certifying that the Lessee Improvement work so specified has in fact been performed in strict accordance with the Approved Plan relating to such Lessee Improvement work, and (ii) copies of all invoices for such work and unconditional lien releases from each contractor performing work or supplying materials covered by such invoices. With respect to each Progress Payment Amount after Lessor pays the first Progress Payment Amount, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay such Progress Payment Amount unless Lessee delivers to Lessor, in addition to the items specified in the prior sentence, reasonable evidence that all sums paid by Lessor in the immediately prior Progress Payment Amount were in fact paid by Lessee to the entities set forth in the invoices submitted to Lessor pursuant to the prior sentence respecting such immediately prior Progress Payment Amount. Within twenty (20) days after receipt thereof, Lessor shall pay to Lessee, in immediately available funds, the Progress Payment Amount, less a 10% retention (“Lessor Retention”) subject to the following. In no event shall Lessor be required to pay any Reimbursable Costs relating to Lessee Improvements in excess of the Improvement Allowance; and prior to Completion of Construction (as defined below) of all Lessee Improvements relating to any particular Approved Plan, Lessor shall not be required to pay any amount in excess of the Improvement Allowance minus the Lessor Retention then maintained by Lessor. The “Improvement Allowance” shall mean the lesser of: (i) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), or (ii) the aggregate amount of Reimbursable Costs. For purposes of this paragraph, the amount of invoiced amounts submitted by Lessee to Lessor in connection with any request for payment by Lessor of any Progress Payment Amount shall not include the amount of any retention therefrom pending completion of the Lessee Improvements unless and until such retention is paid by Lessee. “Completion of Construction” of Lessee Improvements work specified in any particular Approved Plan shall be deemed to have occurred when (if ever) all Lessee Improvements specified in such Approved Plan has been constructed, and Lessee and its project architect and general contractor, have certified to Lessor in writing that such construction is complete in strict accordance with the Approved Plans with no defects or incomplete items of any sort. Lessor shall be entitled to inspect such work to ascertain whether the Lessee Improvements as set forth in such Approved Plan is complete which determination will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Lessor shall pay to Lessee the Lessor Retention portion of the Improvement Allowance for any particular stage of Lessee Improvements with respect to which an Approved Plan exists within twenty (20) days after occurrence of all of the following: (i) Completion of Construction of all Lessee Improvements specified in such Approved Plan; and (ii) receipt by Lessor from Lessee of all invoices for Reimbursable Costs relating to such Lessee Improvements and copies of unconditional lien releases covering all such Reimbursable Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 4(e), Lessor shall have no obligation to pay any portion of the Improvement Allowance that has not already been paid to Lessee with respect to any Reimbursable Costs the invoices for which are first submitted to Lessor after June 30, 2014. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Lessee shall be entitled to incur Reimbursable Costs after the Effective Date and prior to July 1, 2012 only if the Reimburseable Costs relate to Lessee Improvements which are installed and constructed in the Premises from and after July 1, 2012.

No Brokers. Lessor and Lessee each represent and warrant to the other that it has not dealt with any broker in connection with the extension of the Lease term or any other aspect of this Agreement and that no real estate broker, salesperson or finder has the right to claim a real estate brokerage, salesperson’s commission or finder’s fee by reason of contact between the parties brought about by such broker, salesperson or finder. Each party shall hold and save the other harmless of and from any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, injury or expense arising out of or in any way related to claims for real estate broker’s, salesperson’s or finder’s commissions or fees based upon allegations made by the claimant that it is entitled to such a fee from the indemnified party.

Lessee Estoppel.

GUARANTY OF LEASE

THIS GUARANTY OF LEASE (the “Guaranty” or “Guaranty of Lease”) is made as of July 1, 2011, by NeoStem, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), for the benefit of Vanni Business Park, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lessor”).

RECITALS:

A. Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is the named Lessee (“Lessee”) under that certain lease with Lessor dated for reference purposes September 1, 2005, as amended by that certain First Amendment thereto dated July 1, 2006, and as further amended by that certain Second Amendment thereto of even date herewith (said lease as so amended is herein called the “Lease”), respecting certain premises (the “Premises”) comprised of the entire building commonly known as Building F located at 291 North Bernardo Avenue in the City of Mountain View, County of Santa Clara, State of California (the “Building”) and more particularly described in the Lease.

B. Guarantor is the sole member of Lessee and materially benefits by Lessor agreeing to enter into the Second Amendment of the Lease with Lessee.

NOW, THEREFORE, in furtherance of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor covenants and agrees as follows:

AGREEMENT:

1. Guarantee. Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees (a) the full and faithful performance of all of the covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings of Lessee to be kept and performed by Lessee under the Lease including, but not limited to, the payment when due of all rent, additional rent, property taxes, insurance, and other sums payable by Lessee to Lessor under the Lease and (b) the payment of all damages owing to Lessor by Lessee after the termination of the Lease or the exercise by Lessor of any other right or remedy of Lessor following a default by Lessee under the Lease (collectively the “Obligations”). Guarantor understands and agrees that this Guaranty is unconditional and continuing and is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection,

2. Independent Obligation. The liability of Guarantor hereunder is independent of the obligations of Lessee under the Lease and a separate action or separate actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not any action is brought or prosecuted against Lessee under the Lease.

3. Modifications to Lease. Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall not be extinguished, discharged, diminished or reduced in any way by any modification or amendment of the Lease including, but not limited to, any modification of payment dates or amounts, or any subsequent sublease or assignment of the Lease made with or without the consent of Lessor or of Guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives any right to approve any modification or amendment of the Lease.

4. Obligations of Guarantor Upon Default by Lessee. In the event that Lessee shall fail to pay when due rent, additional rent, property taxes, insurance premiums, or any other monetary sum or charge, or any portion thereof, accrued or due pursuant to the terms of the Lease, then, upon written notice to Guarantor by Lessor delivered as provided herein, Guarantor shall pay to Lessor any and all such amounts as may be due and owing from Lessee to Lessor by reason of Lessee’s failure to perform. If Lessee shall fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of the Lease as required to be performed by Lessee other than as provided for in the preceding sentence, then upon written notice to Guarantor by Lessor given as provided herein, Guarantor shall commence and complete performance of such condition, covenant or term within five (5) days after Lessor’s delivery to Guarantor of notice of such failure by Lessee to so perform, and in the event such performance by Guarantor cannot be completed within such five (5) days, Guarantor shall commence performance within such time and diligently pursue completion thereof within a reasonable time thereafter, not to exceed sixty (60) days from the date of Lessor’s notice.

5. Remedies. If Guarantor fails to perform any obligation under this Guaranty of Lease, then Lessor shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided at law or in equity, the following remedies:

(a) At Lessor’s sole option, and without any obligation to do so, Lessor may proceed to perform on behalf of Guarantor any or all of the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty, and Guarantor, on written demand, shall pay to Lessor all reasonable out of pocket sums expended by Lessor in the performance of the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty of Lease, together with interest at the rate specified in Paragraph 14 of this Guaranty of Lease from the date expended until paid; and

(b) From time to time and without first requiring performance on the part of Lessee, and without being required to exhaust or proceed against the security deposit or any or all other security held by Lessor for the performance of Lessee under the Lease, Lessor may enforce its rights to require performance by Guarantor or any or all of the obligations on the part of Guarantor to be performed under this Guaranty of Lease by action at law or in equity, or both.

6. No Waiver. No failure on the part of Lessor to pursue any remedy under this Guaranty of Lease or under the Lease shall constitute a waiver on the part of Lessor of its right to pursue such remedy on the basis of the same or a subsequent default.

7. Waiver of Exoneration. Guarantor waives any right to require Lessor to (a) proceed against Lessee, (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Lessee, or (c) pursue any other right or remedy available to Lessor, or (d) have the property of Lessee first applied to the discharge of the Obligations. Guarantor further waives any defense it may acquire by reason of Lessor’s election of any remedy against Guarantor or Lessee, or both.

8. Waiver of Subrogation. Until the obligations of Lessee under the Lease have been performed in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation against Lessee and Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right to enforce any remedy which Lessor now has or may hereafter acquire against Lessee. Until the obligations of Lessee under the Lease have been performed in full, Guarantor hereby waives the benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lessor for the performance of the obligations of Lessee under the Lease.

9. Waiver of Presentments. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and, except for the notices required under Paragraph 4 of this Guaranty, waives all notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional obligations by Lessee under the Lease.

10. Other Guarantor Waivers. Without limiting the generality of the preceding paragraphs, Guarantor hereby waives:

(a) All defenses by reason of any lack of authority of Lessee, or based on any statute of limitations respecting obligations accruing under the Lease or this Guaranty;

(b) Any and all rights Guarantor may have now or in the future to require or demand that Lessor pursue any right or remedy Lessor may have against Lessee or any other third party;

(c) Any defense arising as a result of Guarantor’s election of the application of Section 1111 (b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(d) Any defense as a surety, including, without limitation, California Civil Code Sections 2819 (alteration of the obligation without the surety’s consent), 2825 (discharge of the debtor), 2809 (guarantor’s obligation may not be larger than the principal’s obligation), 2810 (a guarantor’s liability ceases if the principal is not liable), and 2846 (equity of exoneration);

(e) Any duty or obligation of Lessor to disclose to Guarantor any facts Lessor may now or hereafter know about Lessee, regardless or whether Lessor has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, it being understood and agreed that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Lessee and of any and all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonperformance of any Obligation; and

(f) Any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lessor, including any election which destroys or impairs any right of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution which Guarantor may have, or any rights or benefits under any provisions of California law in any way qualifying, conditioning or limiting the obligations of Guarantor based on any steps or procedures that Lessors should take before proceeding against Guarantor.

11. Bankruptcy. This Guaranty will continue unchanged by any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency of Lessee, or any successor or assignee thereof, or by any disaffirmance or abandonment by a trustee of Lessee. Notwithstanding any modification, discharge or extension of the indebtedness or any amendment, modification, stay or cure of Lessor’s rights which may occur in any bankruptcy or reorganization case or proceeding concerning Lessee whether permanent or temporary, and whether assented to by Lessor, Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall be obligated hereunder to pay and perform the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Lease and the terms of this Guaranty. Guarantor understands and acknowledges that by virtue of this Guaranty, Guarantor has specifically assumed any and all risks of a bankruptcy or reorganization case or proceeding with respect to Lessee.

12. Assignment of Lease. As used herein, the term “Lessor” shall include any successor, assignee or transferee of Lessor. Guarantor agrees that Lessor may, without notice to Guarantor, assign the Lease and this Guaranty of Lease in whole or in part and that no such assignment or transfer of the Lease and/or this Guaranty of Lease shall operate to extinguish or diminish the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty of Lease.

13. Obligations of Guarantor Are Primary. Guarantor agrees that the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty of Lease shall be primary and that in any cause or right of action that shall accrue to Lessor under this Guaranty of Lease, Lessor may, at its sole option, proceed against Guarantor without having commenced any action, or having obtained any judgment, against Lessee. If Lessor has any enforceable rights against Lessee upon termination of the Lease, Lessor shall be entitled to enforce those rights against Guarantor without giving prior notice to Lessee or Guarantor, and without making any demand on either of them.

14. Interest. Any sum required to be paid by Guarantor to Lessor pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty of Lease shall bear interest at the lower of ten percent (10%) or the prime commercial lending rate then in effect at Bank of America (or if Bank of America no longer exists, then ten percent (10%)), from the date due until paid in full.

15. Attorneys’ Fees. Guarantor agrees to pay Lessor’s reasonable out of pocket attorneys’ fees and all costs and other expenses reasonably incurred in any collection or attempted collection, or in any negotiations relative to the obligations hereby guaranteed, or incurred enforcing this Guaranty against the Guarantor. In addition, in the event of any dispute between the parties arising under this Guaranty of Lease, or the breach of any covenant or condition under this Guaranty of Lease, then the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover from the party not so prevailing the attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party, whether such fees and costs are incurred in taking any action under this Guaranty of Lease, or in any judicial proceeding (including appellate proceeding). “Prevailing party” for the purposes of this Paragraph 15 shall include, without limitation, the party who receives from the other party the sums allegedly due, performance of the covenants allegedly breached, consideration substantially equal to that which was demanded, or substantially the relief or consideration sought in any judicial proceeding whether or not such proceeding is prosecuted to final judgment, or a party who dismisses a judicial action in return for substantially the performance or relief sought or the payment of the sums allegedly due.

16. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of each and every provision of this Guaranty of Lease.

17. Governing Law. This Guaranty of Lease shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

18. Captions. The captions and paragraph numbers appearing in this Guaranty of Lease are inserted only as a matter of convenience and are not to be used to interpret this Guaranty of Lease.

19. Notices. All notices required hereunder between Guarantor and Lessor shall be in writing, shall be delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by nationally recognized overnight carrier providing for receipted delivery and shall be deemed to have been given or made when received (or upon attempted delivery if the person to whose attention the notice is directed is absent at the time of attempted delivery or if the delivery is refused), in the case of the Guarantor at NeoStem, Inc., 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 450, New York City, New York 10170, Attention: General Counsel and in the case of the Lessor, at Vanni Business Park, LLC, c/o Chris Vanni, 8080 Santa Teresa Blvd., Suite 210, Gilroy, CA 95020.

20. Examination of Lease. Guarantor acknowledges that it has (a) received a copy of the Lease, (b) read and understood the terms and provisions of the Lease including, but not limited to, the covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings of Lessee to be kept and performed by Lessee under the Lease, (c) read and understood the provisions of this Guaranty of Lease, and (d) understood the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty of Lease, including the legal effect of such obligations and has been advised by legal counsel respecting such obligations.

21. Binding on Successors. Guarantor shall not assign any of its obligations hereunder by operation of law or otherwise, and any attempted assignment shall, at Lessor’s sole option, be void. Subject to the foregoing, the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be binding on Guarantor’s successors.
