INTERIM ORDER ESTABLISHING NOTIFICATION AND HEARING
PROCEDURES FOR TRANSFERS OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Upon the Motion for Interim and Final Order Pursuant to Sections 105, 362, and 541 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3001 Establishing Notification and Hearing Procedures for Trading in Equity Securities (the “Motion”), filed by MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the above-captioned debtor and debtor in possession, (the “Debtor”), seeking, among other things, an order, pursuant to Sections 105(a), 362, and 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, (i) establishing notice and waiting periods to govern transfers of MiddleBrook Stock and procedures for objecting to such transfers in certain circumstances (the “Securities Trading Procedures”) and (i) determining that any transfer of a beneficial interest in MiddleBrook Stock (as defined herein) in violation of the Securities Trading Procedures is void ab initio; and the Court having jurisdiction to consider the Motion and the relief requested therein in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334; and consideration of the Motion and the relief requested therein being a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b); and venue being proper before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409; and no official unsecured creditors committee having been appointed, and due and proper notice of the Motion having been provided; and upon the Declaration of David Becker, the Debtor’s Executive Vice

President, Chief Financial Officer, and Acting President and Chief Executive Officer of MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in Support of Chapter 11 Petition and First Day Motions; and the Court having determined that the relief sought in the Motion is in the best interests of the Debtor, its estate and its stakeholders, and all parties in interest, and that the legal and factual bases set forth in the Motion establish just cause for the relief granted herein; and after due deliberation and sufficient cause appearing therefor,

THE COURT HEREBY FINDS THAT:

1. The Debtor’s net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards are property of the Debtor’s estate and are protected by the automatic stay prescribed in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.

2. Unrestricted trading of MiddleBrook Stock before the Debtor’s emergence from Chapter 11 could severely limit the Debtor’s ability, in connection with its eventual emergence from bankruptcy, to take future deductions and losses attributable to its NOLs and to utilize its other tax attributes for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes.

3. The Securities Trading Procedures and restrictions set forth herein are necessary and proper to preserve the Debtor’s ability to take future deductions and losses attributable to its NOLs and to use its other tax assets and are, therefore, in the best interests of the Debtor, its estate, and its stakeholders.

4. The relief requested in the Motion is authorized under Sections 105(a), 362, and 541 of the Bankruptcy Code.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT

5. The Motion is GRANTED in all respects.

6. Any transfer of a beneficial interest in MiddleBrook Stock in violation of the Securities Trading Procedures is void ab initio.

7. The following Securities Trading Procedures shall apply to transfers of MiddleBrook Stock:

a.

Definitions: For purposes of this Interim Order:

	i.		"MiddleBrook Stock” is any equity security in the Debtor, including, without limitation, common stock and options.
	ii.		An “option” to acquire stock includes all interests described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.382-4(d)(9), including any contingent purchase, warrant, convertible debt, put, stock subject to risk of forfeiture, contract to acquire stock, or similar interest, regardless whether it is contingent or otherwise not able to be currently exercised.
	iii.		"beneficial ownership” of MiddleBrook Stock shall be determined in accordance with the constructive ownership rules that apply for purposes of Section 382 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and shall include, without limitation, indirect ownership (for example, (i) a holding company is considered to beneficially own stock owned by its subsidiaries, (ii) a partner in a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is considered to beneficially own a proportionate interest in stock owned by the partnership, and (iii) persons or entities acting in concert with a holder to make a coordinated acquisition may be treated as a single entity), and any variations of the term “ownership” (for example, “own” or “owner”) shall have correlative meanings;

Notice of Substantial MiddleBrook Stock Ownership: Any person or entity (for purposes of the Motion and this Interim Order, as such terms are defined for purposes of Section 382, and including persons acting pursuant to a formal or informal understanding among themselves to make a coordinated acquisition) that beneficially owns, at any time on or after

			the date this Motion was filed (the “Motion Date”), MiddleBrook Stock in an amount sufficient to qualify such person or entity as a Substantial Equityholder must file with this Court and serve upon the Debtor and counsel to the Debtor, a notice of such status, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, on or before the later of (A) 20 calendar days after the effective date of the notice of entry of the Interim Order or (B) 10 calendar days after becoming a Substantial Equityholder.
	ii.		Acquisition of MiddleBrook Stock: At least 30 calendar days before the effective date of any transfer of MiddleBrook Stock that would result in an increase in the amount of MiddleBrook Stock beneficially owned by a person or entity that is or subsequently becomes a Substantial Equityholder or would result in a person or entity becoming a Substantial Equityholder, such person or entity must serve on the Debtor and counsel to the Debtor, advance written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B of the intended transfer of MiddleBrook Stock.
	iii.		Disposition of MiddleBrook Stock: At least 30 calendar days before the effective date of any transfer of MiddleBrook Stock that would result in a decrease in the amount of MiddleBrook Stock beneficially owned by a person or entity that is a Substantial Equityholder or would result in a person or entity ceasing to be a Substantial Equityholder, such person or entity must serve on the Debtor and counsel to the Debtor, advance written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C of the intended transfer of MiddleBrook Stock.
	iv.		Objection Procedures: The Debtor shall have 30 business days after receipt of any of the aforementioned notices to file with this Court and serve on the person or entity providing such notice an objection to any proposed transfer of MiddleBrook Stock described in the notice on the grounds that such transfer might adversely affect the Debtor’s ability to use its Tax Attributes.
