EXPLANATORY NOTE

Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. filed Registration Statement No. 333-143755 on Form SB-2 (the “Previous Registration Statement”) in order to register the resale of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.005 per share (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”), as well as shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants, held by certain selling stockholders. Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this Registration Statement registers additional shares of common stock underlying Series B Warrants held by certain selling stockholders, and also serves as a post-effective amendment to the Previous Registration Statement to convert such registration statement into a registration statement on Form S-3.   

On March 16, 2007, we completed a private placement pursuant to which we sold to certain accredited investors (i) Series B Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of approximately 4,288,712 shares of common stock on such date and (ii) Series B Warrants to purchase approximately 2,144,356 shares of our common stock on such date. All of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were previously converted into shares of our common stock. After taking into account anti-dilution adjustments relating to certain transactions, the Series B Warrants are exercisable into an aggregate of 4,091,344 shares of common stock. Under Registration Statement No. 333-143755, we registered for resale 3,717,515 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of a portion of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,797,484 shares of common stock underlying a portion of our Series B Warrants.

Accordingly, this Registration Statement on Form S-3 is being filed by the registrant (i) to register the resale of 2,293,860 additional shares of common stock underlying the Series B Warrants, including an indeterminate number of shares of common stock as may be issuable from time to time as a result of stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions, and (ii) to convert the Previous Registration Statement into a registration statement on Form S-3.

Our Company
 
We are a biotechnology, or biotech, company focused on developing biodefense, tissue protection and cancer treatment drugs based on the concept of modulation of cell death for therapeutic benefit. CBLI was incorporated in Delaware and commenced business operations in June 2003. We have devoted substantially all of our resources to the identification, development and commercialization of new types of drugs for protection of normal tissues from exposure to radiation and other stresses, such as toxic chemicals and cancer treatments. Our pipeline includes products from two primary families of compounds: protectans and curaxins. We are developing protectans as drug candidates that protect healthy tissues from acute stresses such as radiation, chemotherapy and ischemia (pathologies that develop as a result of blocking blood flow to a part of the body). Curaxins are being developed by Incuron, LLC, our majority-owned Russian subsidiary, as anticancer agents that could act as mono-therapy drugs or in combination with other existing anticancer therapies.
 
Our development efforts are based on discoveries made in connection with the investigation of the cell-level process known as apoptosis. Apoptosis is a highly specific and tightly regulated form of cell death that can occur in response to external events such as exposure to radiation or toxic chemicals or to internal stresses. Apoptosis is a major determinant of tissue damage caused by a variety of medical conditions including cerebral stroke, heart attack or acute renal failure. Conversely, apoptosis also is an important protective mechanism that allows the body to shed itself of defective cells, which otherwise can cause cancerous growth.
 
Research has demonstrated that apoptosis is sometimes suppressed naturally. For example, most cancer cells develop resistance to apoptotic death caused by drugs or natural defenses of the human body. Our research is geared towards identifying the means by which apoptosis can be affected and manipulated depending on the need.
 
If the need is to protect healthy tissues against an external event such as exposure to nuclear radiation, we attempt to suppress apoptosis in those healthy tissues, thereby imitating the apoptotic-resistant tendencies displayed by cancer cells. A drug with this effect would also be useful in ameliorating the often severe side effects of anticancer drugs and radiation that cause collateral damage to healthy tissues during cancer treatment. Because the severe toxicities of anticancer drugs and radiation often limit their dosage in cancer patients, an apoptosis suppressant drug may enable a more aggressive treatment regimen using anticancer drugs and radiation and thereby increase their effectiveness.
 
On the other hand, if the need is to kill cancerous cells, we focus our research efforts on restoring apoptotic mechanisms that are suppressed in tumors so that those cancerous cells will once again become vulnerable to apoptotic death. In this regard, we believe that our drug candidates could have significant potential for improving, and becoming vital to, the treatment of cancer patients.
 
Our Products and Technology
 
Through our research and development, or R&D, and our strategic partnerships, we have established a technological foundation for the development of new pharmaceuticals and their rapid preclinical evaluation. We have acquired rights to develop and commercialize the following prospective drugs:
 
 
·
Protectans are modified factors of microbes that protect cells from apoptosis, and which therefore have a broad spectrum of potential applications. These potential applications include both non-medical applications such as protection from exposure to radiation, whether as a result of military or terrorist action or as a result of a nuclear accident, as well as medical applications such as reducing cancer treatment toxicities.

 
1

 

 
·
Curaxins are small molecules designed to kill tumor cells by simultaneously targeting two regulators of apoptosis. Initial test results indicate that curaxins can be effective against a number of malignancies, including hormone-refractory prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, or RCC (a highly fatal form of kidney cancer), and soft-tissue sarcoma.
 
In the area of radiation protection, we have achieved high levels of protection in animal models. With respect to cancer treatment, the biology of cancer is such that there is no single drug that can be successfully used to treat a significant proportion of the large number of different cancers and there is wide variability in individual responses to most therapeutic agents. This means that there is a continuing need for additional anticancer drugs for most cancers.
 
These drug candidates demonstrate the value of our scientific foundation. Based on the expedited approval process currently available for non-medical applications such as protection from exposure to radiation, our most advanced drug candidate, Protectan CBLB502, may be approved for such applications within 18-24 months. Another drug candidate, Curaxin CBLC102, demonstrated activity and safety in a Phase IIa clinical trial concluded in late 2008.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our securities is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and should be made only by investors who can afford a complete loss. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, including the risk factors incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), filed after such Annual Report. Any of the risks we have described could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Further, the risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently believe are not material, could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives. The words “may,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “continue,” “believe,” “seek,” “project,” “estimate” and similar expressions used in this prospectus or incorporated in this prospectus by reference that do not relate to historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
 
Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. These factors include, among others:
 
 
·
our history of operating losses and the potential for future losses, which may lead us to not be able to continue as a going concern;
 
 
·
the adequacy of our cash balances to support our operations for specified periods of time and the nature and level of cash expenditures;
 
 
·
our need for substantial additional financing to meet our business objectives;
 
 
·
the potential for the loss of funding from our government grants and contracts;
 
 
·
the risks inherent in the early stages of drug development and in conducting clinical trials;
 
 
·
our ability to obtain regulatory approval in a timely manner or at all;
 
 
·
our collaborative relationships and the financial risks related thereto;
 
 
·
the market opportunities for our drug candidates as well as our ability to take advantage of those opportunities and our ability to successfully and timely develop, market and commercialize new products;
 
 
·
our ability to comply with our obligations under license agreements;
 
 
·
the potential for significant product liability claims; and
 
 
·
our ability to comply with various safety, environmental and other governmental regulations.
 
The forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, plans, expectations and assumptions and on information available to us as of the time such statements were made. These beliefs, plans, expectations and assumptions can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us. Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of these statements. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements.
 
The forward-looking statements in this prospectus or incorporated in this prospectus by reference are not representations or guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to, any risk factors set forth in our other filings with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or in any supplement to this prospectus. Many of such factors are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. As a result, our future actions, financial position and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us. Readers are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We also do not intend to publicly update any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by us or on our behalf, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholders.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders (i) were issued upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) are issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants. We are registering the shares of common stock to satisfy registration rights that we have granted to the selling stockholders, and in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for their ownership of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants (including the Series B Warrants) issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below) or as otherwise set forth below, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
 
The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Warrants
 
On March 16, 2007, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement of the same date (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), we consummated a transaction with various accredited investors in which we agreed to sell to the investors, in a private placement, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of approximately 4,288,712 shares of common stock on such date, and Series B Warrants to purchase approximately 2,144,356 shares of our common stock on such date.
 
Sunrise Securities Corp., or SSC, Reedland Capital Partners, an Institutional Division of Financial West Group, and Basic Investors, Inc., served as placement agents for the transaction. In consideration for their services, each agent (or its designees) received compensation as follows: SSC received Series B Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 290,298 shares of common stock, Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 145,149 shares of common stock, and Series C Warrants, bearing an initial exercise price of $11.00 per share, to purchase 267,074 shares of common stock; Reedland received Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 63,543 shares of common stock and cash compensation (in lieu of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and additional Series B Warrants) of $444,800; Basic Investors received Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,480 shares of Common Stock and cash compensation (in lieu of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and additional Series B Warrants) of $87,360.
 
In the aggregate, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the warrants issued in the transaction were originally convertible for and exercisable into 7,211,612 shares of common stock (subject to adjustments in the event of certain corporate events such as stock splits, or issuances of securities at a price below the conversion price of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or the exercise price of the warrants, as the case may be). In accordance with the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise of the warrants into common stock by their respective holders was submitted for approval and was approved by our stockholders at our 2007 annual stockholders meeting. In connection with obtaining stockholder approval of the foregoing issuances, on March 16, 2007, we entered into a Voting Agreement with Michael Fonstein, Andrei Gudkov, Yakov Kogan, the Cleveland Clinic, ChemBridge, Sunrise Equity Partners L.P., or SEP, and SSC, each of whom agreed to vote in favor of authorizing the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying all of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Warrants. In the aggregate, these parties to the Voting Agreement, together with holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that were eligible to vote at the 2007 annual stockholders meeting, held approximately 63% of all votes entitled to be cast as of the record date.
 
At the time of the private placement, SEP, one of the investors, together with its affiliates, was a holder of more than 10% of our outstanding common stock. In the transaction, SEP purchased Series B Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 600,000 shares of common stock and received Series B Warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock. As mentioned above, we also issued Series B Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 290,298 shares of common stock, Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 145,149 shares of Common Stock, and Series C Warrants to purchase 267,074 shares of common stock to SSC (an affiliate of SEP) and its designees in consideration for its services as lead placement agent. We also engaged SSC as our exclusive management agent regarding all exercises of the Series B Warrants, for which we will pay SSC a fee equal to 3.5% of the aggregate exercise price of each Series B Warrant, payable in cash if the exercise is in cash or in shares of common stock if the exercise is cashless.
 
As of the date of this prospectus, after giving effect to conversions and anti-dilution adjustments relating to certain transactions, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into an aggregate of 6,111,566 shares of common stock. As of the date of this prospectus, after giving effect to anti-dilution adjustments relating to certain transactions, the Series B Warrants are exercisable into an aggregate of 4,091,344 shares of common stock.

Selling Stockholders
 
This prospectus covers the resale of  (i) 3,717,515 shares of common stock into which our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted and (ii) 4,091,344 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of our Series B Warrants, which currently have an exercise price of $5.99 per share. Because the number of shares underlying the Series B Warrants is subject to adjustment for dilutive issuances, and because the number of shares underlying the Series B Warrants is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or similar events, the number of shares of common stock that will actually be issued upon exercise of the Series B Warrants may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus.
 
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders. The column titled “Shares of Common Stock Owned Before the Offering” lists the number of shares of common stock owned by each selling stockholder as of October 8, 2010, assuming conversion of all preferred stock and exercise of all warrants and options, including exercise of all Series B Warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercise. The column titled “Shares of Common Stock Being Offered” lists the shares of common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus by the selling stockholders. The column titled “Shares of Common Stock Owned Upon Completion of the Offering” lists the shares of common stock owned by each selling stockholder, assuming the shares of common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus by the selling stockholders have been sold, and the column titled “Percentage of Common Stock Outstanding Upon Completion of the Offering” provides the percentage owned by each selling stockholder of all shares of common stock outstanding, assuming the same.
 
Under the terms of the Series B Warrants, a selling stockholder may not exercise the Series B Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock that exceeds 9.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such exercise. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We are registering the shares of common stock that were issued upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the shares of common stock that are issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders thereof from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.
 
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,
 
 
·
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
 
 
·
in the over-the-counter market;
 
 
·
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
 
 
·
through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
 
 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
·
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
·
short sales;
 
 
·
sales pursuant to Rule 144;
 
 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions created after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
 
22

 
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.
 
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states, the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
 
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
 
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.
 
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be approximately $43,847.20 in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution with respect thereto. We will be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement, or we will be entitled to contribution.
 
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Our certificate of incorporation also requires that special meetings of stockholders be called only by our chairman of our board of directors or the board of directors as a whole. In addition, our by-laws provide that candidates for director may be nominated and other business brought before an annual meeting only by the board of directors or by a stockholder who gives written notice to us no later than 90 days prior to nor earlier than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the last annual meeting of stockholders. These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control of our management, which could depress the market price of our common stock.
 
Delaware Business Combination Statute
 
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 provides that, subject to specified exceptions, an interested stockholder of a Delaware corporation is not permitted to engage in any business combination, including mergers or consolidations or acquisitions of additional shares of the corporation, with the corporation for a three-year period following the time that stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless one of the following conditions is met:
 
 
·
prior to the time the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
 
 
·
upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares; or
 
 
·
on or subsequent to the time the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
 
Except as otherwise set forth in Section 203, “interested stockholder” means:
 
 
·
any person that is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within three years immediately prior to the date of determination; and
 
 
·
the affiliates and associates of any such person.
 
As a result of being subject to Section 203, it may be more difficult for a person who is an interested stockholder to effect various business combinations with us for the applicable three-year period. Section 203 also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that Section 203 could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which our stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests. The provisions of Section 203 may cause persons interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors.
 
Directors’ Limitation of Liability
 
Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws include provisions to indemnify the directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, including circumstances under which indemnification is otherwise discretionary. We believe that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We have also obtained directors and officers liability insurance in amounts commensurate with those of similarly situated companies.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons as stated in the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of a fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase or redemption in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, CBLI’s Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of a director to CBLI or its stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
 
Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and other agents of such corporation in an action by or in the right of a corporation under the same conditions against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense and settlement of such action or suit, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a present or former director or officer of the corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. CBLI’s Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that provide for indemnification of officers and directors and each person who is or was serving at the request of CBLI as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise to the full extent permitted by the DGCL.
 
Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered into the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
II-1

 
CBLI maintains, at its expense, a policy of insurance which insures its directors and officers, subject to exclusions and deductions as are usual in these kinds of insurance policies, against specified liabilities which may be incurred in those capacities.
 
ITEM 16. EXHIBITS.
 
A list of exhibits filed herewith or incorporated by reference is contained in the Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1)           To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(A)            to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(B)            to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(C)            to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
provided, however, that paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
 
           (2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
           (3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
           (4)That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
 
(A)           Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
 
(B)           Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
 
II-2

 
(5)           That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(6)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
