NOW
THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual representations and covenants
herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Subscription
for Shares
Subject
to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Subscriber hereby subscribes
for and irrevocably agrees to accept from the Company the number of Shares
set
forth on the signature page hereof, and the Company agrees to delivers such
Shares to Subscriber, in consideration of cancellation of the Notes. The
certificates evidencing the Shares received by the Subscriber in consideration
of the cancellation of the Notes will be delivered by the Company to the
Subscriber as soon as practicable upon receipt of the original Notes from
Subscriber.
2. Representations
by Subscriber
Subscriber
understands and agrees that the Company is relying and may rely upon the
following representations, warranties, and agreements made by Subscriber in
entering into this Agreement:
2.1 Subscriber
recognizes that the investment in the Securities involves a high degree of
risk
and is suitable only for persons of adequate financial means who have no need
for liquidity in this investment, in that (a) it may not be possible to
liquidate the investment in the event of emergency; (b) transferability is
extremely limited; and (c) in the event of a disposition, a complete loss of
investment could occur.
2.2 Subscriber
acknowledges that he (a) is competent to understand and does understand the
nature of the investment, and (b) is able to bear the economic risk of the
investment.
2.3 Subscriber
represents that he is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).
2.4 Subscriber
acknowledges that he has significant prior investment experience, including
investment in nonlisted and nonregistered securities, and that he has read
all
of the documents furnished or made available by the Company to evaluate the
merits and risks of the investment, recognizes the highly speculative nature
of
this investment, and is able to bear the economic risk hereby
assumed.
2.5. Subscriber
represents that all information regarding the Company which was requested or
desired has been furnished; that all other documents which could be reasonably
provided have been made available for inspection and review; and that the
Subscriber has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive
answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Private
Sale
and any additional information which has been requested.
2.6 Subscriber
hereby acknowledges that this Private Sale of Securities has not been registered
with the SEC because it is intended to be a private sale pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Act.
2.7 Subscriber
represents that the Securities are being purchased for his or her own account,
for investment, and not for distribution or resale to others. Subscriber agrees
that he will not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Securities or
any
portion thereof unless they are registered under the Act or unless an exemption
from such registration is available.
2.8 Subscriber
may, with the Company’s written consent, transfer the Securities if such request
for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company
that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer of the Securities results in
a
violation of the Act or any applicable state “blue sky” laws (collectively, the
“Securities Laws”). Subscriber agrees to hold the Company, its officer and
directors, and their respective heirs, representatives, successors, and assigns
harmless and to indemnify them against all liabilities, costs, and expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) incurred by them as a result of any sale or
distribution of the Securities by Subscriber in violation of any Securities
Laws
or any misrepresentation herein.
2.9 Subscriber
consents to the placement of a legend on the certificates evidencing the Shares
stating that they have not been registered under the Act and setting forth
or
referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof.
3. Representations
by the Company
The
Company represents and warrants to Subscriber as follows:
3.1. The
Company is a corporation duly organized, existing, and in good standing under
the laws of Delaware and has the corporate power to conduct its
business.
3.2. The
execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by the Company has been
duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
2
3.3. The
Securities have been duly and validly authorized and the Shares will be duly
and
validly authorized and issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
4. Investment
Restrictions
4.1 Subscriber
acknowledges that there is a very limited public market for the Shares.
Subscriber understands that, absent registration under the Act, the Securities
generally may only be publicly sold pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Rule”)
promulgated under the Act. The Rule permits, subject to all of its terms and
conditions, the public resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in
nonpublic offerings without having to satisfy the registration requirements
of
the Act. Accordingly, Subscriber recognizes that, notwithstanding the existence
of a public market for the Shares, he may not be able to take advantage of
the
resale provisions of the Rule and may be unable to publicly offer or sell any
of
the Securities.
4.2 Underwriting
Requirements. In connection with any underwritten public offering, the Company
shall not be required to include any of the Securities subscribed for hereunder
in such underwriting unless the Subscriber accepts the terms of the underwriting
as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters for the offering (which
underwriters shall be selected by the Company).
5. Notices
to Subscriber
5.1 THE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND
SOLD
IN RELIANCE ON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT.
THE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR OTHER REGULATORY
AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED
THE
MERITS OF THE OFFERING. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS
UNLAWFUL.
5.2 The
Securities are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may
not
be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Act and applicable state
securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom.
6. Miscellaneous
6.1 Any
notice or other communication given hereunder shall be deemed sufficient if
in
writing and sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
overnight mail or courier, or telecopier, addressed to the Company at 0000
X.
000xx

the
signature page hereof. Notices shall be deemed to have been given on the date
of
mailing, except notices of change of address, which shall be deemed to have
been
given when received.
6.2 This
Agreement shall not be changed, modified, or amended except by a writing signed
by the party to be charged, and this Agreement may not be discharged except
by
performance in accordance with its terms or by a writing signed by the party
to
be charged.
6.3 This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and to their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the
parties as to the subject matter thereof and merges and supersedes all prior
discussions, agreements, and understandings of any and every nature between
them. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company is making no
representations in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities
except as expressly set forth herein.

6.4 This
Agreement and its validity, construction and performance shall be governed
in
all respects by the laws of Delaware applicable to agreements to be performed
wholly within Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws
provisions.
6.5 ThIs
Agreement may be executed in counterparts. Upon the execution and delivery
of
this Agreement by the Subscriber this Agreement shall become a binding
obligation of the Subscriber with respect to the purchase of the Securities
as
herein provided.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and
year
first written above.

counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that no such registration is
required.

TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
INCORPORATED
UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE
STATE OF DELAWARE
1.1 Basic
Terms.
This
certifies that, for value received, the registered owner set forth below,
or its
registered assigns (“Registered Owner”) is entitled, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Warrant (this “Warrant”), until the Expiration Date set forth
below, to purchase 50,000 shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 (the
“Common Stock”), of Xxxxxxx Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), from the Company at the Purchase Price shown below, on delivery
of this Warrant to the Company with an exercise form, as provided by the
Company
(an “Exercise Form”), duly executed and payment of the Purchase Price (in cash
or by certified or bank cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company) for
each Warrant Share purchased. The term “Warrant Shares,” as used herein, refers
to the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.

Expiration
Date:
|
3:00
p.m. Central Time, December 31, 2009, unless terminated sooner
under this
Warrant.

1.2 Company’s
Covenants as to Common Stock.
Warrant
Shares deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant shall, at delivery, be
fully
paid and non-assessable, free from taxes, liens, and charges with respect
to
their purchase. The Company shall take any necessary steps to assure that
the
par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less
than
the then current Purchase Price per share of the Common Stock issuable pursuant
to this Warrant. The Company shall at all times reserve and hold available
sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy all conversion and purchase
rights
of outstanding convertible securities, options, and warrants.
1.3 Method
of Exercise; Fractional Shares.
Subject
to the provisions of this Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole
or in
part, at the option of the Registered Owner by (a) surrender of this Warrant
to
the Company together with a duly executed Exercise Form, and (b) payment
of the
Purchase Price. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon
the
exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of issuing a fraction of a share remaining
after exercise of this Warrant as to all full shares covered hereby, the
Company
shall either (a) pay therefor cash equal to the same fraction of the then
current Purchase Price per share or, at its option, (b) issue scrip for the
fraction, in registered or bearer form approved by the Board of Directors
of the
Company, which shall entitle the holder to receive a certificate for a full
share of Common Stock on surrender of scrip aggregating a full share. Scrip
may
become void after a reasonable period (but not less than six months after
the
expiration date of this Warrant) determined by the Board of Directors and
specified in the scrip. In case of the exercise of this Warrant for less
than
all the shares available for purchase, the Company shall cancel the Warrant
and
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance
of the
shares purchasable.
A-1
1.4 Adjustment
of Shares Available for Purchase.
The
number of shares available for purchase hereunder and the Purchase Price
per
share are subject to adjustment from time to time by the Company as specified
in
this Warrant.
1.5 Limited
Rights of Owner.
This
Warrant does not entitle the Registered Owner to any voting rights or other
rights as a stockholder of the Company, or to any other rights whatsoever
except
the rights herein expressed. No dividends are payable or will accrue on this
Warrant or the Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder until and
except
to the extent that this Warrant is exercised.
1.6 Exchange
for Other Denominations.
This
Warrant is exchangeable, on its surrender by the Registered Owner to the
Company, for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate
the right to purchase the number of shares available for purchase hereunder
in
denominations designated by the Registered Owner at the time of
surrender.
1.7 Transfer.
Except
as otherwise above provided, this Warrant is transferable only on the books
of
the Company by the Registered Owner or by its attorney, on surrender of this
Warrant, properly endorsed, provided, however, that any transfer or assignment
shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1.14.
1.8 Recognition
of Registered Owner.
Prior to
due presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant, the Company
may
treat the Registered Owner as the person exclusively entitled to receive
notices
and otherwise to exercise rights hereunder.
1.9 Effect
of Stock Split, Etc.
If the
Company, by stock dividend, split, reverse split, reclassification of shares,
or
otherwise, changes as a whole the outstanding Common Stock into a different
number or class of shares, then:
(a) the
number and class of shares so changed shall, for the purposes of this Warrant,
replace the shares outstanding immediately prior to the change; and
(b) the
Purchase Price and the number of shares available for purchase under this
Warrant, immediately prior to the date upon which the change becomes effective,
shall be proportionately adjusted (the price to the nearest cent). Irrespective
of any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price or the number of shares
purchasable under this or any other Warrant of like tenor, the Warrants
theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Purchase Price
per
share and the number of shares available for purchase as the Purchase Price
per
share and the number of shares available for purchase were expressed in the
Warrants when initially issued.
A-2
1.10 Effect
of Merger, Etc.
If the
Company consolidates with or merges into another corporation, the Registered
Owner shall thereafter be entitled on exercise of this Warrant to purchase,
with
respect to each share of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately before
the consolidation or merger becomes effective, the securities or other
consideration to which a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled
in the
consolidation or merger without any change in or payment in addition to the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the merger or consolidation.
The
Company shall take any necessary steps in connection with a consolidation
or
merger to assure that all the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter
be
applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, to any securities or other
consideration so deliverable on exercise of this Warrant. A sale or lease
of all
or substantially all the assets of the Company for a consideration (apart
from
the assumption of obligations) consisting primarily of securities is a
consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.
1.11 Notice
of Adjustment.
On the
happening of an event requiring an adjustment of the Purchase Price or the
shares available for purchase hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give
written notice to the Registered Owner stating the adjusted Purchase Price
and
the adjusted number and kind of securities or other property available for
purchase hereunder resulting from the event and setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which the calculation
is
based. The Board of Directors of the Company, acting in good faith, shall
determine the calculation.
1.12 Notice
and Effect of Dissolution.
In case
a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the
Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger covered
by
Section 1.10 above) is at any time proposed, the Company shall give at least
a
30 day written notice to the Registered Owner. Such notice shall contain:
(a)
the date on which the transaction is to take place; (b) the record date (which
shall be at least 30 days after the giving of the notice) as of which holders
of
Common Shares will be entitled to receive distributions as a result of the
transaction; (c) a brief description of the transaction; (d) a brief description
of the distributions to be made to holders of Common Stock as a result of
the
transaction; and (e) an estimate of the fair value of the distributions.
On the
date of the transaction, if it actually occurs, this Warrant and all rights
hereunder shall terminate.
1.13 Method
of Giving Notice; Extent Required.
Notices
shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Registered
Owner at the address of the Owner appearing in the records of the Company.
No
notice to the Registered Owner is required except as specified
herein.
1.14 Warrant
is Restricted: Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. This
Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act
of 1933 (the “Act”); and are “Restricted Securities” as that term is defined in
Rule 144 under the Act. The Warrants and the Warrant Shares may not be offered
for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective
Registration Statement under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Act, the availability of which is to be established
to
the satisfaction of the Company. If, at the time of the surrender of this
Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange of this Warrant,
this Warrant (or in the case of any exercise, the Warrant Shares issuable
hereunder) shall not be registered under the Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing
such exercise, transfer, or exchange (a) that the Registered Owner furnish
to
the Company a written opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel are
reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such exercise, transfer
or exchange may be made without registration under the Act and under applicable
state securities or blue sky laws, and (b) that the Registered Owner execute
and
deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable
to
the Company. The first holder of this Warrant, by taking and holding the
same,
represents to the Company that such holder is acquiring this Warrant for
investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof.
A-3
1.15 Underwriting
Requirements. In
connection with any underwritten public offering, the Company shall not be
required to include any of the shares underlying the Warrants in such
underwriting unless the Registered Owner accepts the terms of the underwriting
as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters for the offering
(which
underwriters shall be selected by the Company).
1.16 Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Warrants shall be eligible for “cashless
exercise” if and only if:
(a)
There
is no effective registration statement in place with the Securities and Exchange
Commission covering the Common Stock underlying the Warrants and the Common
Stock has traded over $2.00 per share for five consecutive days; or
(b)
Any
partially- or wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is sold or receives
a cash
payment exceeding $10,000,000 for either a license fee or dispute
resolution.
If
a
cashless exercise is permitted under this section, the Registered Owner may
elect, in lieu of payment of the Purchase Price in cash, to convert this
Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Warrant Shares determined
by
dividing (i) (A) the aggregate Market Value of the Warrant Shares or other
securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus (B) the
aggregate Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares, by (ii) the Market Value
of one
Warrant Share. “Market Value” as of any date, means (x) the average of the last
reported sale prices on the principal trading market for the Common Stock
for
the five trading days immediately preceding the date of any such determination,
or (y) if market value cannot be calculated as of such date on the foregoing
basis, Market Value shall be the fair market value as reasonably determined
in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. For example, if a cashless
exercise were permitted, the Market Value on the date of exercise was $3.00
per
share, and the entire Warrant was being exercised on such date, the Registered
Owner could elect to exercise this Warrant for 33,333 shares of Common Stock
on
a cashless basis [((50,000 x $3.00) - (50,000 x $1.00)), divided by $3.00
=
33,333 shares]. The manner of determining the Market Value of the Common
Stock
set forth in the foregoing definition shall apply with respect to any other
security in respect of which a determination as to market value must be made
hereunder.
1.17 Governing
Law. THIS
WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE BODY OF LAW
CONTROLLING CONFLICTS OF LAW.
1.18 Amendments.
This
Warrant and any provision it may only be amended by an instrument signed
by the
Company and the holder.
1.19 Severability
and Savings Clause.
If any
one or more of the provisions contained in this Warrant is for any reason
(a)
objected to, contested or challenged by any court, government authority,
agency,
department, commission or instrumentality of the United States or any state
or
political subdivision thereof, or any securities industry self-regulatory
organization (collectively, “Governmental Authority”), or (b) held
to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
Company and the holder agree to negotiate in good faith to modify such objected
to, contested, challenged, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. It
is
the
intention of Company and the holder that there shall be substituted for such
objected to, contested, challenged, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
a provision as similar to such provision as may be possible and yet be
acceptable to any objecting Governmental Authority and be valid, legal and
enforceable. Further, should any provisions of this Warrant ever be reformed
or
rewritten by a judicial body, those provisions as rewritten will be binding,
but
only in that jurisdiction, on the holder and the Company as if contained
in the
original Agreement. The
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any one or more provisions
of this
Warrant will not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provisions
of this Warrant.
