Ladies and Gentlemen:

     BMP Sunstone Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated in this Placement Agency Agreement (this “Agreement”) and the Subscription Agreements in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Subscription Agreements”) entered into with the investors identified therein (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”), to issue and sell for an aggregate of minimum gross consideration of $1,500,000 and an aggregate gross maximum consideration of $5,000,000, shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Shares are more fully described in the Registration Statement (as defined herein). This is to confirm the agreement between the Company and Philadelphia Brokerage Corporation (the “Placement Agent”) concerning the offering, issuance and sale of the Shares.

1. Agreement to Act as Placement Agent; Delivery and Payment. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement:

	(a)		The Company hereby authorizes the Placement Agent to act as its exclusive agent in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of the Shares (the “Offering”) to the Investors, and the Placement Agent hereby agrees, as agent of the Company, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase all or part of the Shares from the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as defined below). The Placement Agent shall make commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each Investor whose offer to purchase Shares has been solicited by the Placement Agent and accepted by the Company, but the Placement Agent shall not, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, have any liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. Under no circumstances shall the Placement Agent or any of its affiliates be obligated to underwrite or purchase any of the Shares for their own accounts or otherwise provide any financing. The Placement Agent shall act solely as the Company’s agent and not as principal. The Placement Agent shall have no authority to bind the Company with respect to any prospective offer to purchase Shares and the Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Shares and may reject any such offer, in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Placement Agent and its affiliates may, solely at their discretion and without any obligation to do so, purchase Shares as principals; provided, however, that any such purchase by the Placement Agent (or its affiliates) shall be fully disclosed to the Company and approved by the Company in accordance with the preceding sentence.
	(b)		As compensation for services rendered, on the Closing Date, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Placement Agent an aggregate amount equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the gross proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Shares on such Closing Date (the

			“Agency Fee”). The Agency Fee shall be payable as follows: (i) 15% of the Agency Fee shall be payable in shares of Common Stock valued at no less than the offering price of the shares of Common Stock that are being sold to investors in the Offering as provided in Exhibit C hereto and (ii) 85% of the Agency Fee shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Placement Agent. If the Offering contemplated hereby is completed, the Placement Agent agrees that the foregoing compensation constitutes all of the compensation that the Placement Agent shall be entitled to receive in connection with the Offering contemplated hereby.
	(c)		The purchases of Shares by the Investors shall be evidenced by the execution of the Subscription Agreements by each of the parties thereto.
	(d)		Prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which this Agreement is terminated and (ii) the Closing Date, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, solicit or accept offers to purchase Shares of the Company (other than pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock that are outstanding at the date hereof) otherwise than through the Placement Agent in accordance herewith.
	(e)		No Shares that the Company has agreed to sell pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been purchased and paid for, or sold by the Company, until such Shares shall have been delivered to the Investor purchasing such Shares against payment therefor by such Investor. If the Company shall default in its obligations to deliver Shares to an Investor whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Placement Agent harmless against any loss, claim, damage or liability directly or indirectly arising from or as a result of such default by the Company.
	(f)		Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Shares shall be made at a closing (the “Closing”) at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, counsel for the Company, located at 1701 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on October 13, 2008 or at such other time and date as the Placement Agent and the Company determine pursuant to Rule 15c6-1(a) under the Exchange Act (such date of payment and delivery being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”). The Company, the Placement Agent and The Bank of New York, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), has entered into an escrow agreement, dated as of October 9, 2008 (the “Escrow Agreement”) pursuant to which an escrow account will be established, at the Company’s expense, for the benefit of the Company and the Investors (the “Escrow Account”). Subject to the terms hereof and of the Escrow Agreement, payment of the purchase price for the Shares shall be made to the Company in the manner set forth below by Federal Funds wire transfer against delivery of the Shares to such persons, and the Shares shall be registered in the name or names and shall be in such denominations as the Placement Agent may request at least one business day before the Closing Date. Payment of the purchase price for the Shares to be purchased by Investors shall be made by such Investors directly to the Escrow Agent by depositing such amount into the Escrow Account and the Escrow Agent agrees to hold such purchase price in escrow in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Company shall cause its transfer agent, StockTrans, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”) to deliver certificates bearing the name of the Investors (or their designees or nominees) evidencing the Shares to be issued to each such Investor. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Subscription Agreements and the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall, on the Closing Date, deliver to the Company, by Federal Funds wire transfer, the aggregate purchase price so held in escrow, reduced by an amount equal to the sum of the aggregate Agency Fee payable in cash to the Placement Agent, and to each of the Investors certificates evidencing the Shares purchased by such Investor. Each of the Company and the Placement Agent hereby agree to deliver to the Escrow Agent a closing notice as contemplated by the Escrow Agreement at least one day prior to the Closing Date.

(g)

With respect to any Investor that is a registered investment company and is not settling its purchase of Shares pursuant to Section 1(f) above, on or before the Closing Date, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver the Shares purchased by such Investor to the account and/or at the address designated by such Investor, and upon receipt by such Investor of such Shares, such Investor shall wire, in immediately available funds, the Purchase Amount for such Shares to an account designated by the Company.

6. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)

Indemnification of the Placement Agent. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Placement Agent harmless against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (“Losses”) to which the Placement Agent may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any breach of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company contained herein, and will reimburse the Placement Agent for any legal or other expenses incurred by then in connection with investigating or defending against such Losses (or actions in respect thereof); provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with the Placement Agent’s Information.

     In addition to its other obligations under this Section 6(a), the Company agrees that it will reimburse the Placement Agent for all legal fees or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, described in this Section 6(a), as such fees and expenses are incurred.

(b)

Indemnification of the Company. The Placement Agent will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any Losses to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Placement Agent), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact

			required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent, specifically for use in the preparation thereof, and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Placement Agent consists of the Placement Agent Information.
	(c)		Notice and Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent such indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that if, in the sole judgment of the indemnified party, it is advisable for the indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ a separate counsel to represent it, in which event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnified party or parties except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the indemnifying party and the position of the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. An indemnifying party shall not be obligated under any settlement agreement relating to any action under this Section 6 to which it has not agreed in writing. In addition, no indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party for all liability on claims that are the subject matter of the proceeding.
	(d)		Contribution; Limitation on Liability. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall

			contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to the total compensation received by the Placement Agent. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Placement Agent and the parties’ relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party (and not reimbursed by the indemnifying party) in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, the Placement Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total commissions received by the Placement Agent in accordance with Section 1(b) less the amount of any damages which the Placement Agent has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act or alleged act or failure to act or alleged failure to act. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
	(e)		Non-Exclusive Remedies. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls a Placement Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the Placement Agent’s obligations under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability that the Placement Agent may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company), to each officer of the Company who has signed the Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

7. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto, and the agreements of the Placement Agent and the Company contained in Section 6 hereof, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agent or any controlling person thereof, or the Company or any of its officers, directors, or controlling persons and shall survive delivery of, and payment for, the Shares. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth

in Sections 4, 6 and 12 hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement.

8. Information Furnished by Placement Agent. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in the “Plan of Distribution” section in the Prospectus (the “Placement Agent Information”), constitute the only information relating to the Placement Agent furnished in writing to the Company by the Placement Agent as such information is referred to in Sections 2 and 6 hereof.

9. Termination. The Placement Agent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice as hereinafter specified at any time at or prior to the Closing Date, without liability on the part of the Placement Agent to the Company, if (a) prior to delivery and payment for the Shares (i) trading in securities generally shall have been suspended on or by The Nasdaq Global Market, (ii) trading in the Common Stock of the Company shall have been suspended on The Nasdaq Global Market or by the Commission, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York state authorities or a material disruption shall have occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or there shall have been a declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or (v) there shall have occurred any other calamity or crisis or any material change in general economic, political or financial conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (iv) or (v), in the judgment of the Placement Agent, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the sale of and payment for the Shares on the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (b) since the time of execution of this Agreement or the earlier respective dates as of which information is given in the General Disclosure Package or incorporated by reference therein, there has been any Material Adverse Effect, if the effect of any such event specified in this clause (b), in the judgment of the Placement Agent, makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the sale of and payment for the Shares on the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (c) the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to comply with the terms or perform any agreement or obligation of this Agreement or any Subscription Agreement, other than by reason of a default by the Placement Agent, or (d) any condition of the Placement Agent’s obligations hereunder is not fulfilled. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 4, Section 6, and Section 12 hereof shall at all times be effective notwithstanding such termination.

The Company hereby consents to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court in which any proceeding arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement is brought by any third party against the Placement Agent. The Company hereby waives all right to trial by jury in any proceeding (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

13. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)

No Other Relationship. The Placement Agent has been retained solely to act as Placement Agent in connection with the Offering of the Company’s securities. The Company further acknowledges that the Placement Agent is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement and entered into on an arm’s length basis and in no event do the parties intend that the Placement Agent act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Company, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that the Placement Agent may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the Offering of the Company’s securities, either before or after the date hereof. The Placement Agent hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Company, either in connection

			with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Company hereby confirms its understanding and agreement to that effect.
	(b)		Absence of Obligation to Disclose. The Company has been advised that the Placement Agent and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that the Placement Agent has no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship.
	(c)		Waiver. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Placement Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and agrees that the Placement Agent shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.

14. Headings. The Section headings in this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are not a part of this Agreement.

15. Amendments and Waivers. No supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. The failure of a party to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed or constitute a waiver of such right or remedy in the future.

The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Placement Agent with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by its independent research analysts and research department may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company by the Placement Agent’s investment banking division; provided, however, that it is understood by the Placement Agent that the Company does not waive any claims it may have against the Placement Agent in the event that the Placement Agent fails to maintain Analyst Independence. The Company acknowledges that the Placement Agent is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 17 shall relieve the Placement Agent of any responsibility or liability they may otherwise bear in connection with activities in violation of applicable securities laws, rules and regulations.
