agreement for the Merger covering the obligations under this Section 7.2, to prepare and, as soon
as practicable, but in no event later than 75 days following the closing date of the Merger (the
“Filing Deadline”), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) a registration statement on Form SB-2 covering the resale of all the shares
underlying the Warrant (the “Registrable Securities”). In the event that
Form SB-2 is unavailable for such a registration, the Public Company Parent shall register the
resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the
holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities and undertake to register the
Registrable Securities on Form SB-2 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Public
Company Parent shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until
such time as a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 covering the Registrable Securities has been
declared effective by the SEC. The Public Company Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to
have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no
event later than the date which is 180 days following closing date of the Merger (the
“Effectiveness Deadline”).

pursuant to Section 7.2(a) is not filed with the SEC by the Filing Deadline, the Company shall

such registration statement has not been filed with the SEC, which Additional Warrants shall be
issued on the first day of each 30 day period commencing on the Filing Deadline. In addition, in
the event the registration statement required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 7.2(a)
is not declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Deadline, the Company shall cause the
Public Company Parent to issue to the Lender Additional Warrants in an amount equal to 10% of the
number of Warrants to be issued to the Lender pursuant to Section 7.1 during which time
such registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC, which Additional
Warrants shall be issued on the first day of each 30 day period and commencing on the
Effectiveness Deadline. The Additional Warrants, if any, will be issued to the Lender pursuant to
a common stock purchase warrant in substantially the form as the Warrant, except that the exercise
price for such Additional Warrants shall be the price at which securities are sold in the Private
Placement.
(c) All expenses incident to the filing of the registration statement required by Section 7.1,
including without limitation all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with
securities or blue sky laws, printing
expenses, messenger and deliveryexpenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Public

and commissions
8
and other professionals retained by the Public Company Parent will be borne by the Public
Company Parent. In no event shall the Public Company Parent be obligated to be pay any discounts or
commissions with respect to the shares sold by any holder of Registrable Securities. In connection
with any registration statement, the Company shall cause the Public Company Parent to reimburse the
holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration for the reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
initially requesting such registration.
(d) In the event of an underwritten registered offering the managing underwriter(s) advise the
Public Company Parent in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities exceeds
the number of Registrable Securities which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the
marketability of the offering, the Company will cause the Public Company Parent to include in such
registration the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included which in the opinion of
such underwriter(s) can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, pro
rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities
owned by each such holder. In the event the number of shares available under a registration
statement filed pursuant to Section 7.1 is insufficient to cover 100% of the Registrable Securities
required to be covered by such registration statement, the Company shall cause the Public Company
Parent to amend the registration statement, or file a new registration statement (on the short form
available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover 100% of the number of such Registrable
Securities as soon as practicable but in any event not later than 45 days after the necessity
therefor arises. The Company shall cause the Public Company Parent to use it reasonable best
efforts to cause such amendment or new registration statement to become effective as soon as
practicable following the filing thereof.

shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2 hereof. This Warrant is being issued in
connection with the Loan Agreement between Elevation and The Fashion House, Inc. of even date
herewith (the “Loan Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined
in Section 4 hereof.
This Warrant is subject to the following
provisions:
SECTION 1. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Terms of Warrants: Exercise Period. Subject to the terms of this
Agreement,
the Registered Holder shall have the right, commencing on the date hereof and expiring on the
10 year anniversary hereof (the “Expiration Date”), to exercise this Warrant, in
whole or in part, and receive from the Company the number of Warrant Shares which the Registered
Holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of this Warrant and payment of the
Exercise Price then in effect for the Warrant Shares. To the extent not exercised prior to the
Expiration Date, this Warrant shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in
respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of such time.
(b) Exercise Procedure.
(i) This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date specified in a written
notice from the Registered Holder to the Company (the “Exercise Time”) and
within three business days following the Exercise Time, the Registered Holder shall deliver
the following to the Company:
(A) a completed Exercise Agreement, as described in Section 1(c) below;
(B) this Warrant;
(C) if this Warrant is not registered in the name of the Registered Holder, an Assignment or
Assignments in the form set forth in Exhibit II hereto evidencing the assignment of this
Warrant to the Registered Holder, in which case the Registered Holder shall have complied with the
provisions set forth in Section 6 hereof, and
(D) either (x) a check payable to the Company in an amount equal to the product of the
Exercise Price (as such term is defined in Section 2) multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares
being purchased upon such exercise (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”), (y) the
surrender to the Company of shares of Common Stock of the Company having a Fair Market Value equal
to the Aggregate Exercise Price, or (z). the delivery of a notice to the Company that the
Registered Holder is exercising the Warrant by authorizing the Company to reduce the number of
Warrant Shares subject to the Warrant by that number of shares having an aggregate Fair Market
Value in excess of the total Exercise Price for such shares equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price.
(ii) Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
delivered by the Company to the Registered Holder within five business days after the date of the
Exercise Time. Unless this Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights represented hereby
have been exercised, the Company shall prepare a new Warrant, substantially identical hereto,
representing the rights formerly represented by this Warrant that have not expired or been
exercised and shall, within such five day period, deliver such new Warrant to the Person
designated for delivery in the Exercise Agreement.
(iii) The Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have
been issued to the Registered Holder at the Exercise Time, and the Registered Holder shall be
deemed for all purposes to have become the record holder of such Warrant Shares at the Exercise
Time.
(iv) The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of this Warrant or of any
Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which interferes
with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
(v) The Company shall assist and cooperate with the Registered Holder or any Registered
Holder required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approvals prior to or
in connection with any exercise of this Warrant.
(vi) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this
2
Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. All
Warrant Shares which are so issuable shall, when issued and upon the payment of the Exercise Price
therefor, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens
and charges. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such
Warrant Shares may be so issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or
governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which
securities of the Company may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be
immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).
(c) Exercise Agreement. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Registered
Holder shall deliver an Exercise Agreement in the form set forth in Exhibit I hereto,
except that if the Warrant Shares are not to be issued in the name of the Person in whose name
this Warrant is registered, the Exercise Agreement shall also state the name of the Person to whom
the certificates for the Warrant Shares are to be issued, and if the number of Warrant Shares to
be issued does not include all the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, it shall also state the
name of the Person to whom a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the rights hereunder is to
be issued. Such Exercise Agreement shall be dated the actual date of execution thereof.
SECTION 2. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. In order to
prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the Initial Exercise Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2 (such price or such price as
last adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof, as the case may be, is herein called the “Exercise
Price”), and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.
(a) Reorganization. Reclassification. Consolidation. Merger or Sale. In case
of any reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or any other change in the Common
Stock of the Company, other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend
provided for in Section 2(b) below (any of which, a “Change Event”), then, as a
condition of such Change Event, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents
evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Registered Holder,
so that the Registered Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this
Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant
(subject to adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 2), the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such Change Event
by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by the Registered
Holder immediately prior to such Change Event. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be
made with respect to the rights and interest of the Registered Holder so that the provisions
hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and
property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the
3
purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the
same.
(b) Subdivisions. Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at
any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant (i) subdivide its Common Stock, by split-up or
otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or (ii) issue additional shares of its Common Stock or
other equity securities as a dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock, the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be
proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock, or proportionately decreased in
the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price
payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares
purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this
Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or
combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no
record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
(c) Issuance of New Warrant. Upon the occurrence of any of the events listed
in this Section 2 that results in an adjustment of the type, number or exercise price of the
securities underlying this Warrant, the Registered Holder shall have the right to receive a new
warrant reflecting such adjustment upon the Registered Holder tendering this Warrant in exchange.
The new warrant shall otherwise have terms identical to this Warrant.
(d) Notices.
(i) The Company shall give written notice to the Registered Holder of this Warrant at least
10 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record for determining
rights to vote with respect to any event described in this Section 2 or any dissolution or
liquidation.
(ii) The Company shall also give written notice to the Registered Holder of this Warrant at
least 10 days prior to the date on which any event described in this Section 2 or any dissolution
or liquidation shall take place.
SECTION 3. Registration Rights.
(a)
Piggyback Registration.
(i) If, at any time commencing on the date hereof and expiring on the Expiration Date, the
Company prepares and files a Registration Statement under the Act or otherwise registers
securities under the Act as to any of its securities (other than under a Registration Statement
pursuant to Form S-8 or Form S-4) (each such filing, a “Registration Document”),
it will give written
4
notice by registered mail, at least 20 days prior to the filing of such Registration Document
to the Registered Holders of the Registrable Securities of its intention to do so. The Company
shall include all Registrable Securities in such Registration Documents with respect to which the
Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 1 days of actual receipt of the
Company’s notice.
(ii) Subject to the Loan Agreement, the Company shall have the right at any time after it
shall have given written notice pursuant to this Section 3 (a) (irrespective of whether a written
request for inclusion of any Registration Securities shall have been made) to elect not to file
any such Registration Document, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to the
effective date thereof.
(b) Covenants of the Company with Respect to Registration. In connection with
the filing of any Registration Document by the Company, the Company covenants and agrees as
follows:
(i) The Company shall use its best efforts to have any registration statement declared
effective at the earliest practicable time. The Company will promptly notify each Registered
Holder of such Registrable Securities and confirm such advice in writing, (i) when such
registration statement becomes effective, (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such
registration statement becomes effective and (iii) of any request by the SEC for any amendment or
supplement to such registration statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional
information.
(ii) The Company shall furnish to each Registered Holder of such Registrable Securities such
number of copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto
(in each case including each preliminary prospectus and summary prospectus) in conformity with the
requirements of the Act, and such other documents as the Registered Holders may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Registered Holders.
(iii) If the Company shall fail to comply with the provisions of Sections 3(a) and 3(b), the
Company shall, in addition to any other equitable or other relief available to the Registered
Holder(s), be liable for any or all special and consequential damages sustained by the Registered
Holder(s) requesting registration of their Registrable Securities.
(iv) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be reasonably
necessary to keep such registration statement effective for at least 12 months (or such longer
period as permitted by the Act), and to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the
disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Registered Holder or Registered
5
Holders of Registrable Securities set forth in such registration statement. If at any time the SEC
should institute or threaten to institute any proceedings for the purpose of issuing a stop order
suspending the effectiveness of any such registration statement, the Company will promptly notify
each Registered Holder of Registrable Securities and will use all reasonable efforts to prevent the
issuance of any such stop order or to obtain the withdrawal thereof as soon as possible. The
Company will use its good faith reasonable efforts and take all reasonably necessary action which
may be required in qualifying or registering the Registrable Securities included in a registration
statement for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as reasonably
are required by the Registered Holder(s), provided that the Company shall not be obligated to
execute or file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation to
do business under the laws of any such jurisdiction. The Company shall use its good faith
reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to
be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities of the United
States or any State thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Registered Holder(s)
thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
(v) The Company shall indemnify the Registered Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be
sold pursuant to any registration statement and each person, if any, who controls such Registered
Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against
all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may become
subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement.
(vi) If requested by the Company prior to the filing of any registration statement covering
the Registrable Securities, each of the Registered Holder(s) of the Registrable
Securities to be sold pursuant to a registration statement, and their successors and assigns,
shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section
20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage or expense or liability (including all
expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever)
to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from written
information furnished by such Registered Holder, or their successors or assigns, for specific
inclusion in such registration statement, except that the maximum amount which may be recovered
from each Registered Holder pursuant to this paragraph or otherwise shall be limited to the amount
of net proceeds received by the Registered Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities.
(vii) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Registered
Holder(s) to exercise their Warrants prior to the filing of any registration statement or the
effectiveness thereof.
6
(viii) The Company shall furnish to each Registered Holder participating in an offering
and to the managing underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Registered Holder
or underwriter, of (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the effective date of such
registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, an
opinion dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), and (ii) a “Cold Comfort”
letter dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes
an underwritten public offering, a letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting
agreement) signed by the independent public accountants who have issued a report on the Company’s
financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case covering substantially
the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein)
and, in
the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such
financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in
accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities.
(ix) The Company shall deliver promptly to each Registered Holder participating in an offering
and to the managing underwriter, if any, copies of all correspondence between the SEC and the
Company, its counsel or auditors and all non-privileged memoranda relating to discussions with the
SEC or its staff with respect to the registration statement and permit each Registered Holder and
underwriter to do such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information
contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary to comply
with applicable securities laws or rules of the NASD. Such investigation shall include access to
books, records and properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its
officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times and
as often as any such Registered Holder shall reasonably request.
(x) The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into any merger, business combination
or consolidation in which (i) the Company shall not be the surviving corporation and (ii) the
shareholders of the Company are to receive, in whole or in part, capital stock or other securities
of the surviving corporation, unless the surviving corporation shall, prior to such merger,
business combination or consolidation, agree in writing to assume the obligations of the Company
under this Agreement, and for that purpose references hereunder to “Registrable
Securities” shall be deemed to include the securities which the Registered Holders
would be entitled to receive in exchange for Registrable Securities under any such merger, business
combination or consolidation, provided that to the extent such securities to be received are
convertible into shares of Common Stock of the issuer thereof, then any such shares of Common Stock
as are issued or issuable upon conversion of said convertible securities shall also be included
within the definition of “Registrable Securities.”
(xi) In the event of an underwritten registered offering the managing underwriter(s) advise
the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities exceeds the
number of Registrable Securities which can be sold therein without adversely
7
affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will include in such registration the
number of Registrable Securities requested to be included which in the opinion of such
underwriter(s) can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, pro rata
among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities owned by
each such holder. In the event the number of shares available under a registration statement filed
pursuant to Section 3 (a) is insufficient to cover 100% of the Registrable Securities required to
be covered by such Registration Statement, the Company shall amend the registration statement, or
file a new registration statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both,
so as to cover 100% of the number of such Registrable Securities as of the trading day immediately
preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new registration statement, in each case, as
soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 45 days after the necessity therefor arises.
The Company shall use it reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment or new registration
statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.
(xii) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement,
including without limitation all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with
securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants,
underwriters (excluding discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by the Company will
be borne by the Company. In no event shall the Company be obligated to be pay any discounts or
commissions with respect to the shares sold by any holder of Registrable Securities. In connection
with each Registration Document, the Company will reimburse the holders of Registrable
Securities covered by such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one
counsel
chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting such
registration.
