Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On February 13, 2006, Chelsea Therapeutics International, Ltd. (the “Company”) raised gross proceeds of approximately $21.5 million through the sale of 7,166,666 shares of its $0.0001 par value common stock to ninety four accredited investors at a price per share equal to $3.00. In consideration of the purchase of the shares, the Company issued to the investors five year warrants for the purchase of 2,149,999 additional shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $4.20 per share and are redeemable at the Company’s option for $0.0001 per share in the event that the volume weighted average closing bid price of its common stock for any twenty (20) consecutive trading days is at least $9.00 per share.

Pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreement, investors that invested $5,000,000 or more in the offering are entitled to rights of first negotiation and participation with respect to certain future private financings by the Company for so long as such investors continue to hold at least 40% of the common stock purchased in the offering.

In connection with this offering, the Company engaged Paramount BioCapital, Inc. as its placement agent and paid commissions and other offering-related expenses of approximately $1.6 million in cash, plus warrants to purchase 716,666 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price equal to 110% of the price of the shares sold in the offering, or $3.30 per share. Two of the Company’s directors, Michael Weiser and Jason Stein, are employees of Paramount BioCapital, Inc. Of the warrants to purchase 716,666 shares of the Company’s common stock, a warrant to purchase 33,333 shares was allocated to Dr. Weiser and a warrant to purchase 417 shares was allocated to Dr. Stein.

Neither the shares of common stock purchased by the investors nor the shares of common stock underlying the warrants were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) and Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The investors qualified as accredited investors, as defined in Regulation D, in order to receive the common stock and the warrants. The shares of common stock and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Under the terms of the offering we have agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC within 30 days of the closing for the shares of common stock sold and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants.

A copy of the form of subscription agreement and warrant for the offering is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.5. On February 14, 2006, the Company issued a press release describing the terms of the offering. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of the date set forth on the signature page hereof between Chelsea Therapeutics International, Ltd., a Delaware corporation having a place of business at The Richardson Building, 13950 Ballantyne Corporate, Place Suite 325, Charlotte, NC 28277 (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Subscriber”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company is offering (the “Offering”) to a limited number of persons who qualify as “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants” and collectively with the Shares, the “Securities”) on the terms and conditions described in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Offering is contingent upon the Company making sales of a number of shares of Common Stock which would provide the Company with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 (the “Minimum Offering Amount”). The Company will sell a maximum number of shares of Common Stock which would provide the Company with aggregate gross proceeds of $15,000,000 (the “Maximum Offering Amount”) with an option in favor of the Company and the Placement Agent (as defined below) to offer additional shares of Common Stock which would provide the Company with aggregate gross proceeds of up to $6,500,000 to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment”).

WHEREAS, Paramount BioCapital, Inc. is acting as exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) for the Offering; and

WHEREAS, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber desires to purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to sell to the Subscriber, a number of Shares and Warrants.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual representations and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SECURITIES.

1.1 Offering. The Company is offering the Securities to a limited number of persons who qualify as “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act, on the terms and conditions described in this Agreement. The Minimum Offering Amount will be offered on an “all or none, best efforts” basis. Additional amounts, including the Over-Allotment, if exercised, will be offered on a “best efforts” basis. The Subscriber

understands, however, that this purchase of the Securities is contingent upon the Company making aggregate sales equal to or exceeding the “Minimum Offering Amount.” The per Share price shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the volume weighted average closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board^® for the ten (10) trading days prior to the Closing Date (as defined below) of the initial Closing (as defined below) and (ii) $3.00 (the “Purchase Price”). The minimum number of Shares purchasable by any single investor shall be equal to $100,000 divided by the Purchase Price, subject to the discretion of the Company to accept subscriptions for lesser amounts.

1.2 Closing. At each closing (each a “Closing,” and the date thereof, the “Closing Date”), provided the Company has received the Minimum Offering Amount, the Company shall issue and sell to the Subscriber and the Subscriber shall purchase from the Company, a number of Shares equal to the quotient resulting from dividing (a) the total dollar amount of the Subscriber’s subscription as set forth on the signature page hereof that is accepted by the Company and the Placement Agent (the “Aggregate Purchase Price” as further defined below) by (b) the Purchase Price (the “Subscription Amount”), rounded down to the nearest whole share. In addition to the Shares, each Subscriber shall receive a number of Warrants equal to 30% of the number of Shares purchased in the Offering by such Subscriber. A form of the Warrant is attached hereto as Appendix A. The Warrants shall have an exercise price equal to 140% of the Purchase Price (the “Warrant Exercise Price”) and shall be exercisable at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The Warrants shall be callable by the Company if the volume weighted average closing bid price per share of the Common Stock exceeds $9.00, as adjusted for stock splits or combinations, for a period of 20 consecutive trading days.

1.3 Closing Mechanics. The initial Closing shall be held at a date and time designated by the Company and the Placement Agent prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on February 28, 2006 (subject to extension at the discretion of the Company and the Placement Agent without notice to the Subscriber of up to 60 days), which date shall be no later than 5 Business Days (as defined in Article 5) after satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in Article 4 hereof. The Closing shall occur at the offices of the Placement Agent, located at 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019. Upon satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Closing, the Placement Agent and the Company shall instruct US Bank Trust National Association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) to release the proceeds of the Offering to the Company, less fees and expenses due to the Placement Agent. Interest, if any, that has accrued with respect to the Aggregate Purchase Price while in escrow shall also be distributed to the Company at the Closing and the Subscriber will have no right to such interest, even if there is no Closing.

1.4 Payment of Aggregate Purchase Price. Upon, or prior to, the execution of this Agreement by the Subscriber, the Subscriber shall deposit the amount of readily available funds equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price in a segregated escrow account with the Escrow Agent by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the instructions provided below. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Company’s and the Placement Agent’s option, each at its sole discretion, to refuse to accept subscriptions, in whole or in part, from any Subscriber), the Subscriber hereby

2

subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such number of Securities and the Company agrees to sell such number of Securities to the Subscriber as is set forth upon the signature page hereof at the Aggregate Purchase Price as accepted by the Company and the Placement Agent.

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SUBSCRIBER.

The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof and the relevant Closing Date as follows:

2.1 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (i) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Securities; (ii) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its investment; (iii) transferability of the Securities is extremely limited; (iv) in the event of a sale, transfer, assignment, shorting, hedging, or other “put equivalent position” or other disposition of the Securities, the Subscriber could sustain the loss of substantially all of its investment; and (v) since the Company has been a publicly traded company, the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future.

2.2 The Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as indicated by the Subscriber’s responses to the questions contained in the Confidential Investor Questionnaire, which are true

3

and correct as of the date hereof and shall be true and correct as of the relevant Closing Date, and that the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company. If the Subscriber is a natural person, the Subscriber has reached the age of majority in the state or other jurisdiction in which the Subscriber resides, has adequate means of providing for the Subscriber’s current financial needs and contingencies, is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time, has no need for liquidity in such investment and, at the present time, could afford a complete loss of such investment.

2.3 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Subscriber is knowledgeable, sophisticated and has experience in making, and is qualified to make, decisions with respect to investments representing an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Securities and has prior investment experience, including investments in securities which are non-listed, unregistered and/or not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, AMEX, the Nasdaq National Market or Capital Market or any other national stock exchange; (ii) the investment in the Securities is of a highly speculative nature and involves a significant degree of risk, that the market price of the Common Stock has been and continues to be volatile and that Subscriber has carefully evaluated the risks of an investment in the Securities; and (iii) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and the potential loss of such investment, which risk the Subscriber hereby assumes.

2.4 The Subscriber has received and carefully reviewed this Agreement, the Company’s Confidential Offering Memorandum dated November 30, 2005 (together with all exhibits, appendices, supplements or amendments thereto, and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected therein, the “Memorandum”), including the following documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”, and such documents, the “SEC Filings”) and included as exhibits to the Memorandum: SEC Form 424B3 filed on September 1, 2005; SEC Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005; and any future filings that the Company makes with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), until the relevant Closing Date. For purposes of this representation, the parties agree that any information that that Company subsequently files with the SEC that is incorporated by reference into any SEC Report will automatically update and supersede any previous information that is part of the Memorandum. The Subscriber further represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the course of this transaction with all information regarding the Company which the Subscriber, its investment advisor, attorney and/or accountant has requested or desired to know or which is otherwise relevant to an investment decision, has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering, and has received any additional information which the Subscriber or its advisors or agents has requested.

2.5 (a) The Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in making the decision to invest in the Securities. The Subscriber is familiar with and understands the terms of the Offering, including the rights to which the Subscriber is entitled under this Agreement. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Subscriber has not relied upon any representation or other information (whether oral or written)

4

from the Company, or any agent, employee or Affiliate of the Company other than as set forth in the Memorandum, in this Agreement or resulting from the Subscriber’s own independent investigation. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement, the Memorandum or any other materials provided to the Subscriber in connection with the subscription for the Securities or sale of the Securities constitutes investment, tax or legal advice. To the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Subscriber in its sole discretion, the Subscriber has retained, at its sole expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and its purchase of the Securities hereunder.

(b) No Securities were offered or sold to the Subscriber by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith the Subscriber did not: (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference to which the Subscriber was invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

2.6 The Subscriber, either by reason of the Subscriber’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of the Subscriber’s professional advisors, has the capacity to protect the Subscriber’s own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.

2.7 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Offering has not been reviewed, recommended or endorsed by the SEC or any state securities regulatory authority or other governmental body or agency, since the Offering is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Subscriber shall not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless such transfer is registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Subscriber understands that if required by the laws or regulations or any applicable jurisdictions, the Offering contemplated hereby will be submitted to the appropriate authorities of such state(s) for registration or exemption therefrom.

2.8 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act which depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s investment intention and the truth and accuracy of, and Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, acknowledgments and covenants of Subscriber set forth herein. In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents that the representations, warranties, acknowledgments and covenants of Subscriber set forth herein are true and correct, the Subscriber will comply with the covenants set forth herein, and the Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for the Subscriber’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others and has no contract, undertaking, agreement or other arrangement, in existence or contemplated, to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer the Securities to any other Person (as defined in Article 5) in violation of the Securities Act. The Subscriber, if an entity, also

5

represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Securities. The Subscriber has no current plans to effect a “change of control” of the Company, as such term is understood in Rule 13d-1 of the Exchange Act.

2.9 The Subscriber understands that the Securities will not be registered or available for sale in the public markets except as specifically provided herein, and Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) requires, among other conditions, a one-year holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering (and a two-year holding period for unlimited sales by non-Affiliates of the Company) without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws or assist the Subscriber in obtaining an exemption from various registration requirements, other than as set forth in Article 5 herein.

2.10 The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Securities substantially as set forth below, that such Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement. The Subscriber is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of the Securities.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

2.11 Intentionally omitted.

2.12 The address of the Subscriber furnished by the Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber’s principal residence if Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.

2.13 The Subscriber has full power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement and to purchase the Securities and has taken all action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This

6

Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and to limitations of public policy.

2.14 If the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other entity (a) it is authorized and qualified to become an investor in the Company and the Person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so and (b) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.

2.15 The Subscriber acknowledges that if he or she is a Registered Representative of a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) member firm, he or she must give such firm the notice required by the NASD Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such firm in Section 7.4 below in accordance with such rules.

2.16 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that this subscription may be rejected, in whole or in part, by the Company or the Placement Agent, in each of their sole and absolute discretion, at any time before any Closing Date notwithstanding prior receipt by the Subscriber of notice of acceptance of the Subscriber’s subscription. The Subscriber hereby authorizes and directs the Company to return, without interest, any funds for unaccepted subscriptions to the same account from which the funds were drawn, including any customer account maintained by the Subscriber with the Placement Agent.

2.17 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees with the Company that except as otherwise set forth herein, the subscription hereunder is irrevocable by the Subscriber, that, except as required by law, the Subscriber is not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this Agreement or any agreements of the Subscriber hereunder and that this Agreement and such other agreements shall survive the death or disability of the Subscriber and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. If the Subscriber is more than one Person, the obligations of the Subscriber hereunder shall be joint and several and the agreements, representations, warranties and acknowledgments herein contained shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon each such Person and its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

2.18 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees with the Company that the Offering is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D, and/or the provisions of Regulation S, that are in part dependent upon the truth, completeness and accuracy of the statements made by the Subscriber.

2.19 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that there can be no assurance that the Subscriber will be able to sell or dispose of the Securities. It is understood

7

than in order not to jeopardize the Offering’s exempt status under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D, in addition to any other restrictions on transfer set forth herein or in the Warrants, the Company may, at a minimum, require any transferee to fulfill the Subscriber suitability requirements thereunder and make the representations, warranties and covenants of Subscriber hereunder.

2.20 The Subscriber represents and warrants that during the period commencing upon the date that the Subscriber was first contacted with respect to the Offering (the “First Date”) the Subscriber has not, directly or indirectly, through related parties, Affiliates or otherwise, sold “short” or “short against the box” (as such terms are generally understood) and until the Registration Statement (as defined in Article 5) is declared effective, will not sell “short” or “short against the box” any equity security of the Company or take any action with respect to any equity security of the Company which would violate the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and from the First Date through the relevant Closing Date or termination of this Agreement has not and will not take any action the intent or reasonably foreseeable effect of which is to reduce the trading price of the Common Stock.

2.21 To the extent that the Subscriber is not bound by obligations of confidentiality relating to Confidential Information (as defined herein) pursuant to a separate confidentiality agreement between the Subscriber and the Company, the Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the existence of and information contained in this Agreement, the Memorandum or otherwise made available to the Subscriber by the Company (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) is to be used solely for the purpose of evaluating a possible investment in the Securities and is confidential and non-public and agrees that all such Confidential Information shall be kept in confidence by the Subscriber and neither used by the Subscriber for the Subscriber’s personal benefit (other than in connection with evaluating a possible investment in the Securities) nor disclosed to any third party for any reason and in any manner, notwithstanding that a Subscriber’s subscription may not be accepted by the Company; provided, however, that this obligation shall not apply to any such Confidential Information that (i) is part of the public knowledge or literature and readily accessible at the date hereof (except as a result of a breach of this provision by any party) or (ii) becomes part of the public knowledge or literature and readily accessible by publication (except as a result of a breach of this provision by any party).

2.22 If the Subscriber is purchasing the Securities in a fiduciary capacity for another Person, including without limitation a corporation, partnership, trust or any other entity, the Subscriber has been duly authorized and empowered to execute this Agreement and all other subscription documents, and such other Person fulfills all the requirements for purchase of the Securities as such requirements are set forth herein, concurs in the purchase of the Securities and agrees to be bound by the obligations, representations, warranties and covenants contained herein. Upon request of the Company, the Subscriber will provide true, complete and correct copies of all relevant documents creating the Subscriber, authorizing its investment in the Company and/or evidencing the satisfaction of the foregoing.

8

2.23 No authorization, approval, consent or license of any Person is required to be obtained for the purchase of the Securities by the Subscriber, other than as have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, result in any violation of or constitute a default under any material agreement or other instrument to which the Subscriber is a party or by which the Subscriber or any of its properties are bound, or to the best of the Subscriber’s knowledge, any permit, franchise, judgment, order, decree, statute, rule or regulation to which the Subscriber or any of its businesses or properties is subject.

2.24 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements of the Subscriber contained herein (including the Confidential Investor Questionnaire), in the Registration Questionnaire attached hereto as Appendix B (the “Registration Questionnaire”) and in any other writing delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be true and correct on the date hereof and as of the relevant Closing Date as if made on and as of such date and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the purchase of the Securities. The Subscriber agrees that the Placement Agent shall be entitled to rely on the representations, warranties and agreements of the Subscriber contained herein as if such representations, warranties and agreements were made or provided directly to the Placement Agent.

2.25 The Subscriber hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Securities under the Registration Statement without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act to be satisfied, and further agrees to comply with reasonable requests of the Company or its transfer agent to provide additional information and representations concerning such sale.

2.26 (a) The Subscriber agrees, acknowledges and understands that the Placement Agent is acting as placement agent for the Securities being offered hereby and will be compensated by the Company for acting in such capacity, including, but not limited to, by: (i) placement fees in cash equal to up to seven percent (7%) of the proceeds received by the Company at each Closing; (ii) warrants (the “Placement Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Warrant Shares”) equal to ten percent (10%) of the number of Shares actually sold by the Company in connection with the Offering (not including shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of warrants or other securities for which no cash consideration was received upon issuance); and (iii) reimbursement of its reasonable, documented expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with the Offering (which reimbursement shall not exceed $75,000 in the aggregate). The Placement Warrants shall have an exercise price per share equal to 110% of the Purchase Price per Share. The Subscriber shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the Subscriber in connection with the Offering. The Placement Agent will receive the commissions and Placement Warrants discussed above on all subsequent investments in Company securities made by investors introduced to the Company by the Placement Agent in connection with this Offering for a period of 12 months from the final Closing Date. In addition, the Placement Agent has a right of first refusal to act as exclusive placement agent for all subsequent offerings of Company securities involving a placement agent for a period of 12 months from the final Closing Date, and to act a co-placement agent, receiving a minimum of 25% of the commissions, fees and other agent compensation, for all such offerings for a period of 12 months thereafter.

(b) The Subscriber agrees, acknowledges and understands that the Placement Agent may engage other Persons, selected by it in its discretion, who are members of the NASD or who are located outside the United States, to assist the Placement Agent in connection with this Offering.

The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Subscriber as of the date hereof and the Closing Date that:

3.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification.

The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, operations, conditions (financial or otherwise), assets or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

3.2 Capitalization. (a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 45,000,000 are designated Common Stock and 5,000,000 of which are designated preferred stock.

In addition, there are 1,657,457 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding options and warrants. All of the securities issued by the Company have been issued in accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. Other than as set forth above, there are no other options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments or agreements of any character to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or obligating the Company to issue, deliver, sell, repurchase or redeem, or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, repurchased or redeemed, any shares of the capital stock of the Company or obligating the Company to grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, commitment or agreement.

21

and stated to be specifically for use in preparation of such Registration Statement or prospectus; or (ii) the failure of the Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting sales of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be liable in any such case where the claim, loss, damage, liability or action arises out of or is related to the failure of the Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting sales of Registrable Securities, and except that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates primarily to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective or in the amended prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or in the prospectus subject to completion under Rule 434 promulgated under the Securities Act, which together meet the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any such Holder, any such underwriter or any such controlling Person, if a copy of the Final Prospectus furnished by the Company to the Holder for delivery was not furnished by the Holder to the Person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim, damage or at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, liability, claim, damage or action.

(b) Each Holder will severally, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter of the Registrable Securities and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 5.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any 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 light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse the Company, such directors and officers, each underwriter of the Registrable Securities and each Person controlling the Company for reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder and stated to be specifically for use in preparation of such registration statement or prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Holder be liable for any such claims, losses, damages or liabilities in excess of the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of its Registrable Securities, except in the event of fraud by such Holder or intentional misrepresentation by such Holder.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the

“Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or litigation. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.6(d) was based solely upon the number of entities from whom contribution was requested or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 5.6(d). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 5.6(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, subject to the provisions of Section 5.6(d) hereof. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 5.6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations as set forth in this Section 5.6. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.6(d), in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount or make any other payments under this Agreement which in the aggregate exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.7 (a) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of (i) the need for an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the

23

prospectus forming a part thereof or (ii) that the Board of Directors has determined in good faith that offers and sales pursuant to the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement should not be made by reason of the presence of material undisclosed circumstances or developments with respect to which the disclosure that would be required in the Registration Statement would be premature or would have a Material Adverse Effect, each Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement contemplated by Section 5.2 until its receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company or confirmation of the filing of such report with the SEC by the Company, any such prospectus to be forwarded promptly to the Holder by the Company, and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice; provided, that the Company may suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement pursuant to clause (ii) above for the shortest reasonable period in the circumstances, not more than one time (not to exceed 90 days) during any six-month period, nor more than two times (not to exceed 90 days each) in any twelve-month period.

(b) As a condition to the inclusion of its Registrable Securities, each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing or as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Article 5, including the information required by the Registration Questionnaire attached hereto as Appendix B.

(c) Each Holder hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Registrable Securities without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act to be satisfied.

(d) Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Registration Statement described in this Section are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the stock certificate submitted to the transfer agent evidencing such Registrable Securities is accompanied by a certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that (i) the Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance with such Registration Statement and (ii) the requirement of delivering a current prospectus has been satisfied.

(e) Each Holder agrees not to take any action with respect to any distribution deemed to be made pursuant to such registration statement which would constitute a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act or any other applicable rule, regulation or law.

(f) At the end of the period during which the Company is obligated to keep the Registration Statement current and effective as described above, the Holders of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement shall discontinue sales of shares pursuant to such Registration Statement upon receipt of notice from the Company of its intention

24

to remove from registration the shares covered by such Registration Statement which remain unsold, and such Holders shall notify the Company of the number of shares registered which remain unsold immediately upon receipt of such notice from the Company.

5.8 With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

(c) so long as a Holder owns any unregistered Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder, upon any reasonable request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

5.9 The right to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company under Section 5.2 may be assigned in full by a Holder in connection with a transfer by such Holder of its Registrable Securities, but only if: (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (ii) such Holder gives prior written notice of the proposed transfer to the Company including the name and address of such transferee and a copy of the transfer documents and agreements; (iii) such transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by and comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (iv) the transferee is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D and ; (v) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 5.9, the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other Person, the Company may impose stop transfer orders with respect to any such transfer or attempted transfer, and any such transfer or attempted transfer shall be null and void.

5.10 The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

5.11 With the written consent of the Company and the Holders holding at least 80% of the Registrable Securities that are then outstanding, any provision of this Article 5 may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended. Upon the effectuation of each such waiver or amendment, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Holders, if any, who have not previously received notice thereof or consented thereto in writing.

6. PREEMPTIVE OFFER

6.1 (a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of Excluded Securities (as defined below), for so long as a Qualified Subscriber (as defined below) owns at least 40% of the Common Stock purchased by it pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, agree to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws (collectively a “Qualified Offering”) (i) any Company capital stock, (ii) any other equity security of the Company, (iii) any debt security of the Company which by its terms is convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security of the Company or has any other equity feature, (iv) any security of the Company that is a combination of a debt and equity security or (v) any option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any security of the Company specified in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) (the “Offered Securities”), unless the Company first offers in writing (the “Offer Notice”) to the Qualified Subscribers a right to purchase such Offered Securities on commercially reasonable terms determined in the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Qualified Subscribers shall then have the right to accept such offer (on a pro-rata basis based on the amount of the Company’s shares owned by such Qualified Subscribers) or the Company and the Qualified Subscribers will engage in good faith negotiations for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of the Offer Notice (the “Negotiation Period”) relating to the purchase of all of the Offered Securities, or a portion thereof, upon commercially reasonable terms acceptable to all parties, each in their own discretion. Should the Company and one or all of the Qualified Subscribers fail to agree upon terms for which the Qualified Subscribers shall purchase the Offered Securities during the Negotiation Period, then the Company shall have the right to offer and sell Offered Securities, or in the event that the Qualified Subscribers agree to purchase a portion of the Offered Securities, the Offered Securities that are not purchased by the Qualified Subscribers, to third parties, through the use of an agent or broker or otherwise, in its sole discretion and upon terms agreed to by the Board in its sole discretion, with no further obligation to the Qualified Subscribers except as described in 6.1(b) below.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of Excluded Securities, for so long as a Qualified Subscriber owns at least 40% of the Common Stock purchased by it pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company shall offer (unless such offer shall be illegal or fail to comply with any requirement of applicable law, including securities law registration or exemption requirements) to sell that amount of the Offered Securities in a Qualified Offering to the Qualified Subscribers equal to the total amount of Offered Securities multiplied by Qualified Subscriber’s percentage of ownership at that time of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis, at the price and on such other terms and conditions as the other such Offered Securities shall be sold, which price and material terms and conditions have been specified by the Company in a writing delivered to Qualified Subscriber (the “Preemptive Offer”), which Preemptive Offer by its terms shall

26

remain open and irrevocable for a period of 15 days from the date of delivery. For purposes of this Article 6, the term “Qualified Subscriber” shall mean any Subscriber, together with its Affiliates, who purchases Securities in the Offering for an Aggregate Purchase Price of at least $5,000,000.

6.2 Notice of a Qualified Subscriber’s intent to accept, in whole or in part, a Preemptive Offer shall be evidenced by a writing signed by the Qualified Subscriber or an authorized officer of such Qualified Subscriber (in the event that such Qualified Subscriber is an entity) and delivered to the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof prior to the end of the 15 day period of such Preemptive Offer (the “Notice of Acceptance”), setting forth its intent to accept any or all of its proportionate percentage of the Offered Securities.

6.3 The rights of Qualified Subscriber pursuant to this Article 6 shall not apply to the following securities (the “Excluded Securities”):

(a) securities issued upon the exercise, exchange or conversion of any convertible securities that are (i) currently outstanding, (ii) the subject of a Preemptive Offer, or (iii) Excluded Securities;

(b) securities issued as a dividend or upon any stock split or other subdivision or combination of shares;

Unless terminated earlier in the Placement Agent’s or the Company’s sole discretion, the Offering will expire on February 28, 2006, (as such date may be extended by agreement of the Placement and the Company in their sole discretion without notice to the Subscribers for an additional 60 days), if the conditions to closing set forth in Article 4 have not been satisfied or waived by such time.

No. [    ]              Shares

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CHELSEA THERAPEUTICS INTERNATIONAL, LTD., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that [                    ], its designee or its permitted assigns is entitled to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time commencing on February 13, 2006 and prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on February 13, 2011 (the “Exercise Period”), [                    ] fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company for a purchase price per share of $4.20. Hereinafter, (i) said common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company, is referred to as the “Common Stock”; (ii) the shares of the Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth herein) purchasable hereunder or under any other Warrant (as hereinafter defined) are referred to as the “Warrant Shares”; (iii) the aggregate purchase price payable for the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder is referred to as the “Aggregate Warrant Price”; (iv) the price payable (initially $4.20 per share subject to adjustment as set forth herein) for each of the Warrant Shares hereunder is referred to as the “Per Share Warrant Price”; (v) this Warrant, all similar Warrants issued on the date hereof and all warrants hereafter issued in exchange or substitution for this Warrant or such similar Warrants are referred to as the “Warrants”; (vi) the holder of this Warrant is referred to as the “Holder” and the holders of this Warrant and all other Warrants and Warrant Shares are referred to as the “Holders” and Holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of then outstanding Warrants are referred to as the “Majority of the Holders” and (vii) the then Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (the “Current Market Price”) shall be deemed to

By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with all applicable provisions of the Subscription Agreement.

to the fair value of such fractional share (determined in such reasonable manner as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine), and (ii) deliver the other securities and properties receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the proportionate part thereof, if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant.

2. Reservation of Warrant Shares; Listing.

The Company agrees that, prior to the expiration of this Warrant, the Company shall at all times (a) have authorized and in reserve, and shall keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, the shares of the Common Stock and other securities and properties as from time to time shall be receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, free and clear of all restrictions on sale or transfer, other than under Federal or state securities laws, and free and clear of all preemptive rights and rights of first refusal and (b) if the Company hereafter lists its Common Stock on any national securities exchange, the NASDAQ National Market or the NASDAQ Smallcap Market, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Warrant Shares authorized for listing on such exchange upon notice of issuance.

3. Certain Adjustments.

(a) If, at any time or from time to time after the date of this Warrant, the Company shall issue or distribute to all holders of shares of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof evidence of its indebtedness, any other securities of the Company or any cash, property or other assets (excluding a subdivision, combination or reclassification, or dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, referred to in subsection 3(b), and also excluding cash dividends or cash distributions paid out of earned surplus legally available therefor (any such non-excluded event being herein called a “Special Dividend”)), the Per Share Warrant Price shall be adjusted (effective immediately prior to such issuance or distribution but after the record date for such issuance or distribution) by multiplying the Per Share Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price in effect on the record date for such issuance or distribution less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) of the evidence of indebtedness, cash, securities or property, or other assets issued or distributed in such Special Dividend applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price in effect on the record date for such issuance or distribution. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 3(a) shall become effective immediately prior to the payment date but after the record date of any such Special Dividend. If such evidence of indebtedness, cash, securities or property, or other assets issued or distributed in such Special Dividend is not consummated in full, the Per Share Warrant Price shall be readjusted accordingly.

(b) In case the Company shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine or reverse-split its

outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall forthwith be proportionately decreased and increased, respectively, in the case of a subdivision, distribution or stock dividend, or proportionately increased and decreased, respectively, in the case of a combination or reverse stock split. The Aggregate Warrant Price payable for the then total number of Warrant Shares available for exercise under this Warrant shall remain the same. Adjustments made pursuant to this subsection 3(b) shall become effective on the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution, and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination is not consummated in full, the Per Share Warrant Price and Warrant Shares shall be readjusted accordingly.

(c) In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or in the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the Company but excluding any exchange of securities or merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification of or similar change in the Common Stock), the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive on the exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant. The above provisions of this subsection 3(c) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances. The Company shall require the issuer of any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant to be responsible for all of the agreements and obligations of the Company hereunder. Notice of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and of said provisions so proposed to be made, shall be mailed to the Holders of the Warrants not less than twenty (20) days prior to such event. A sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for a consideration consisting primarily of securities shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.

(d) No adjustment in the Per Share Warrant Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.0001 per share of Common Stock; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection 3(d) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further, however, that adjustments shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 (other than this subsection 3(d)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution, if any, to the Holder of this Warrant or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the $0.0001 or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Per Share Warrant Price, in addition to those required by this Section 3, as it in its discretion shall deem to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares or distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable.

(e) Whenever the Per Share Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted as provided in this Section 3 and upon any modification of the rights of a Holder of Warrants in accordance with this Section 3, the Company shall promptly prepare a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification and the manner of computing the same and cause copies of such certificate to be mailed to the Holders of the Warrants. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to unless requested by a Majority of the Holders, obtain, at its expense, a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular auditors of the Company) setting forth the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect after such adjustment or the effect of such modification, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification and the manner of computing the same and cause copies of such certificate to be mailed to the Holders of the Warrants.

(f) If the Board of Directors of the Company shall declare any dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common Stock other than a cash distribution out of earned surplus, the Company shall mail notice thereof to the Holders of the Warrants not less than ten (10) days prior to the record date fixed for determining stockholders entitled to participate in such dividend or other distribution.

(g) If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a written notice to the Holder of any Warrant promptly after such adjustment) shall determine, in good faith, the allocation of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock.

(h) In case any event shall occur as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but as to which the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of the adjustments set forth in this Section 3 then, in each such case, the Board of Directors of the Company shall in good faith determine the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established herein, necessary to preserve the purchase rights represented by the Warrants. Upon such determination, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder of this Warrant and shall make the adjustments described therein.

4. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes. The shares of the Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall, subject to compliance by the Holder with the terms hereof, at the time of such delivery, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal imposed by any agreement to which the Company is a party, and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. The Company shall pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of any Warrant Share or any certificate thereof to the extent required because of the issuance by the Company of such security.

5. Registration Under Act.

(a) The Holder shall have the right to participate in the registration rights granted to purchasers of the securities of the Company pursuant to Article 5 of the Subscription Agreement with respect to any Warrant Shares held by the Holder. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the provisions in Article 5 of the Subscription Agreement to same extent as if it were a party thereto.

(b) Until all of the Warrant Shares have been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, including pursuant to Rule 144, so long as the Company’s Common Stock remains registered under the Act, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission all current reports and the information as may be necessary to enable the Holder to effect sales of its shares in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

6. Investment Intent; Limited Transferability.

(a) By accepting this Warrant, the Holder represents to the Company that it understands that this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered for sale under Federal or state securities laws and are being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of such

securities laws. In the absence of an effective registration of such securities or an exemption therefrom, any certificates for such securities shall bear the legend set forth on the first page hereof. The Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such securities have not been registered under Federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder further represents to the Company, by accepting this Warrant, that it has full power and authority to accept this Warrant and make the representations set forth herein.

(b) The Holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for its own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Act. The Holder agrees, by acceptance of this Warrant, that this Warrant and any such securities issuable under this Warrant will not be sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect to such transfer is effective under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or (ii) such sale or transfer is made pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act.

(c) In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 1 and in accordance with the legend on the first page hereof, this Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by the Holder except in compliance with the provisions of the Act and the applicable state securities “blue sky” laws, and is so transferable only upon the books of the Company which it shall cause to be maintained for such purpose. The Company may treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as it appears on the Company’s books at any time as the Holder for all purposes. The Company shall permit any Holder of a Warrant or its duly authorized attorney, upon written request during ordinary business hours, to inspect and copy or make extracts from its books showing the registered Holder of this Warrant. All Warrants issued upon the transfer or assignment of this Warrant will be dated the same date as this Warrant, and all rights of the holder thereof shall be identical to those of the Holder unless, in each case, otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

(d) The Holder has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Warrants or the exercise of the Warrants; and (ii) the opportunity to request such additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense.

(e) The Holder did not (i) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (ii) attend any seminar, meeting or investor or other conference to which the Holder was invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

(f) The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Act. Such Holder is acquiring the Warrants for its own account and not with a present view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the registration requirements of the Act, without prejudice, however, to such Holder’s right, subject to the provisions of the Subscription Agreement and this Warrant, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Warrants and Warrant Shares.

(g) Either by reason of such Holder’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of its professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate, finder or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), such Holder has the capacity to protect such Holder’s interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Warrant and the Subscription Agreement. The Holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant. Holder also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring this Warrant.

7. Optional Redemption. (a) In the event that the volume weighted average closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board^® for any twenty (20) consecutive trading days on the OTC Bulletin Board (or upon a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ, if so listed) is at least $9.00 per share (subject to adjustment for any stock splits, combinations, or similar events with respect to the Common Stock after the original issuance date of this Warrant) (the “Redemption Price”), the Company shall be entitled to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Warrants at a per Warrant redemption price of $0.0001, at any time after the completion of such twenty (20) consecutive trading day period by providing thirty (30) business days’ written notice (the “Notice Period”) to the Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant may be exercised in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, by the Holder during the Notice Period in accordance with Section 1 hereof. The Holder agrees to return the certificate representing the redeemed Warrants to the Company upon their redemption (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant in accordance with Section 8 hereof).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 7(a) hereof, for so long as any Warrant Shares are not subject to a registration statement declared effective by the SEC or are not otherwise permitted to be immediately sold, in whole, pursuant to an exemption to registration for such resale, including pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act, the Company shall not be entitled to exercise its redemption rights pursuant to Section 7(a) above.

8. Loss, etc., of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination.

9. Warrant Holder Not Stockholder. This Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any right to vote on or consent to or receive notice as a stockholder of the Company, as such, in respect of any matters whatsoever, nor any other rights or liabilities as a stockholder, prior to the exercise hereof; this Warrant does, however, require certain notices to Holders as set forth herein.

10. Communication. No notice or other communication under this Warrant shall be effective or deemed to have been given unless, the same is in writing and is mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or via recognized overnight courier with confirmed receipt, addressed to:

(a) the Company at Chelsea Therapeutics International, Ltd., The Richardson Building 13950 Ballantyne Corporate Place Suite 325, Charlotte, NC 28277, Attn: President, or other such address as the Company has designated in writing to the Holder; or

(b) the Holder at the address of the Holder set forth in the Subscription Agreement, or other such address as the Holder has designated in writing to the Company.

11. Headings. The headings of this Warrant have been inserted as a matter of convenience and shall not affect the construction hereof.

12. Applicable Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

13. No Impairment. The Company will not avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.

Exhibit 99.1

CHELSEA THERAPEUTICS CLOSES $21.5 MILLION PLACEMENT WITH

LEADING BIOTECH INVESTORS

Proceeds Enable Phase II Proof of Concept Studies of CH-1504 in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriasis

and Expansion of Therapeutic Pipeline

Charlotte, NC February 14, 2006 – Chelsea Therapeutics International, Ltd. (OTCBB: CHTP), completed a private placement of approximately 7.2 million shares of its common stock to institutional and other accredited investors, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $21.5 million. This reflected the maximum authorized amount, including a $6.5 million overallotment. The investors in the private placement also received 5-year warrants to purchase approximately 2.2 million additional shares at an exercise price of $4.20. Paramount BioCapital, Inc. acted as sole placement agent.

Healthcor Management, LP was the lead investor in this financing which also included significant participation from RA Capital Management, Great Point Partners, GMT Capital, Vivo Ventures, as well as a number of other well-known healthcare investors. Proceeds from the private placement will be used primarily to fund the continued clinical development of its patented CH-1504 drug, preclinical development of additional antifolates in its pipeline, licensing additional clinical drug candidates, working capital and general corporate purposes.

“This significant financing, inclusive of some of the more notable investors in the biotech sector, is a clear and strong validation of our current therapeutic pipeline, business progress, and long-term prospects. The infusion of new capital should provide us with financial support to move our lead compound, CH-1504, through Phase II clinical trials and reach proof of concept in both rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis,” commented Dr. Simon Pedder, Chelsea’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Given the comprehensive body of preclinical and clinical data that supports the superior safety and tolerability profile of CH-1504 versus methotrexate, we believe Chelsea is well positioned to capture a unique market and build value for patients and shareholders alike.”

The private placement of shares and warrants was made under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of shares purchased by these investors within 30 days and to use its best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within 120 days.

About CH-1504

CH-1504 is the lead product candidate in Chelsea’s portfolio of novel antifolate compounds developed by Dr. Gopel Nair and licensed by the company in 2004. An orally

available and metabolically inert antifolate with potent anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties, CH-1504 potently inhibits several key enzymes that are required for cell proliferation. Preclinical and clinical data to date suggests superior safety and tolerability, as well as increased potency versus Methotrexate (MTX), currently the leading antifolate treatment and standard of care for a broad range of abnormal cell proliferation diseases. Diseases that may potentially benefit from the compound include rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer and other immunological disorders.

Chelsea reported positive preliminary results from its U.K. Phase I trials for all oral indications of CH-1504 in December 2005 and anticipates the initiation of Phase II trials for RA and Psoriasis early in 2006. Additionally, an independent six-month pilot clinical study compared CH-1504 to MTX in 20 RA patients in Peru. Although this pilot study will not be used as a part of the U.S. regulatory approval process, the results of this study suggest that CH-1504 has lower toxicity and improved tolerability, as well as potentially increased efficacy versus MTX. Preclinical animal models have also indicated that CH-1504 may have superior efficacy and a greater therapeutics window than MTX.

RA affects approximately two million Americans, almost 1% of the population, and the global market for pharmaceuticals to treat RA was estimated at $6.3 billion in 2004. MTX is currently the most commonly prescribed treatment for RA and had sales of approximately $500 million in 2004. Psoriasis, another condition that may be positively impacted by treatment with CH-1504, is an immune-mediated chronic skin disease that affects more than 4.5 million Americans.

About Chelsea Therapeutics

Chelsea Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical development company that acquires and develops innovative products for the treatment of a variety of human diseases. Chelsea develops technologies that address important unmet medical needs or offer improved, cost-effective alternatives to current methods of treatment. Early clinical data suggests that Chelsea’s lead product candidate, CH-1504, may support a safe and effective treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and may have further applications for psoriasis, certain cancers and other immunological disorders.

This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events. These statements are just predictions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual events or results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include risks and costs of drug development, our history of losses and need to raise more money, regulatory approvals, intellectual property risks, our reliance on our lead drug candidate CH-1504, competition, market acceptance for our products if any are approved for marketing, reliance on key personnel including specifically Dr. Pedder, management of rapid growth, and the need to acquire or develop additional products.
