AMENDMENT AND REAFFIRMATION AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT AND REAFFIRMATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March __, 2009, has been prepared to provide additional information to prospective investors in the private placement of the securities of Cleveland BioLabs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and supplements information contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among each prospective investor (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) and the Company (the “Purchase Agreement”) and each of the Transaction Documents thereto.  Each Purchaser is requested to agree and acknowledge this Agreement by executing the attached signature page and failure to agree to this Agreement will result in the Company returning the funds of any such Purchaser. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The following terms of the Transaction Documents have been amended as follows:

1.           Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred. The Conversion Price of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred”) shall be equal to $1.40, subject to further adjustment as set forth in the Certificate of Designation.

2.           Exercise Price of the Warrants. The Exercise Price of the Warrants shall be equal to $1.60, subject to further adjustment therein.

3.           Extension of Offering Period. The termination of the offering shall be extended from March 15, 2009 until March 27, 2009, and, as such, each reference to “March 15, 2009” in the Transaction Documents shall be replaced with a reference to “March 27, 2009.”

4.           Amendment to Deadline for Stockholder Meeting.  Each Purchaser hereby agrees that the deadline for the Company to hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval and Authorized Share Approval pursuant to Section 4.11(c) of the Purchase Agreement shall be June 26, 2009 (which period may be reasonably extended in the case of Commission review of the Company’s proxy statement).

5.           Voting Agreements.  The definition of “Voting Agreements” in Section 1 of the Purchase Agreement shall be amended such that the Company shall not be required to obtain Voting Agreements from Sunrise Equity Partners, LP or Sunrise Securities Corp. so long as the Company obtains Voting Agreements from stockholders holding at least 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As such, the definition of “Voting Agreement” in Section 1.1 shall be amended and restated as follows:

““Voting Agreements” means each of the written agreements, in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, between the Company and each of (a) The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, (b) Sunrise Equity Partners, LP, (c) Sunrise Securities Corp. and (d) all of the executive officers and directors of the Company, which shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.2(a)(vi) attached hereto, to vote all Common Stock over which such Persons have voting control as of the record date for the meeting of stockholders of the Company in favor of Stockholder Approval and Authorized Share Approval; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to obtain the Voting Agreements for the initial Closing from Sunrise Equity Partners, LP, or Sunrise Securities Corp. if the aggregate Subscription Amounts for the initial Closing are less than $2,000,000; and, provided, further, the Company shall not be required to obtain Voting Agreements from Sunrise Equity Partners, LP and Sunrise Securities Corp. (regardless of the Subscription Amounts) if the Company obtains Voting Agreements executed by stockholders of the Company (in addition to those listed above under subsections (a) and (d)) holding no less than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, in the aggregate.”

7.           Miscellaneous.

(a)           Effect on Transaction Documents. Except as specifically modified herein, all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Transaction Documents shall remain in full force and effect and the rights and obligations of the parties with respect thereto shall, except as specifically provided herein, be unaffected by this Agreement and shall continue as provided in such documents and shall not be in any way changed, modified or superseded by the terms set forth herein.

(e)           Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
