Warrant to Purchase
53,333 Shares
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx van der Poort, an individual, or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled to acquire from BBJ Environmental Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), an aggregate of Fifty-Three Thousand, Three Hundred, Thirty-Three (53,333) shares of fully paid, nonassessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at any time on or after the Offering Date (as defined below) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on September 30, 2005 (the “Expiration Date”), at such price and upon such terms and conditions as set forth herein. If not exercised prior to the Expiration Date, this Warrant and all rights granted under this Warrant shall expire and lapse.
1
The number and character of the securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price (defined below) are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant, or any warrant into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. The Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Warrant Shares.”
1. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
(a) Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof, the purchase price of each Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be equal to $0.25 per share (“Purchase Price”).
(b) Warrant Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time after the first date on which the Company has issued shares of Common Stock to the Holder under a Subscription Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and the Holder (the “Offering Date”) and prior to the Expiration Date, by the surrender and presentment of this Warrant accompanied by a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), together with the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice in the manner specified in Section 1(d) hereof, all of which shall be presented to the Company, at its principal office as set forth on the signature page of this Warrant, or at such other place as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder.
(c) Conditions to Acquisition of Warrant Shares. The Company’s obligation to sell the Warrant Shares to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the acquisition, purchase, issuance, or delivery of the Warrant Shares issued by any federal, state, or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect, and (ii) if the Holder is required by law, rule, or regulation promulgated by any governmental entity to comply with or seek approvals from any governmental entity prior to purchasing the Warrant Shares, such compliance or approvals must have been achieved or obtained by the Holder and proof thereof furnished to the Company; provided, however, that any failure by the Company to sell Warrant Shares to the Holder as a result of any of the foregoing conditions shall not affect or prejudice the Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares upon the subsequent satisfaction of such conditions.
(d) Payment of Purchase Price. The Aggregate Purchase Price of the Warrant Shares being acquired upon exercise of this Warrant shall be paid by the Holder to the Company by delivery of a certified bank or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available United States funds, in the amount of the Aggregate Purchase Price which shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price by the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice to be purchased upon such exercise.
(f) Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after full or partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (including, without limitation, the payment by it of all taxes and governmental charges applicable to such exercise and issuance of Warrant
2
Shares) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder or such other persons as directed by the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the total number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised in such denominations as instructed by the Holder, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon exercise under the terms of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised, and the Warrant Shares acquired thereby shall be deemed issued, and the Holder or any person(s) designated by the Holder shall be deemed to have become holders of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the close of business on the date that this Warrant, the duly executed and completed Exercise Notice, and full payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price has been presented and surrendered to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed. In the event this Warrant is only partially exercised, a new Warrant evidencing the right to acquire the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised, shall be executed, issued and delivered by the Company to the Holder simultaneously with the delivery of the certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased.
2. Shares Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it will at all times on and after the Offering Date and on and prior to the Expiration Date have authorized and will reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery to the Holder, that number of shares of its Common Stock (or other securities and property) that may be required from time to time for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares when issued in accordance with this Warrant shall be duly and validly issued, shall be fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of any claim, lien, encumbrance, or security interest of any kind whatsoever, and free from all preemptive rights of any security holders of the Company. The Company shall take all action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares (and any other securities and property) may be issued and delivered as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements, of any domestic securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under federal, state, foreign or any other securities laws. The Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Purchase Price (as described in Section 5 hereof) if the total number of Warrant Shares issuable after such action upon exercise of all the outstanding Warrants, together with all the Common Stock then outstanding and all Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all other options and warrants and upon conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.
3. Exchange, Assignment, or Loss of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense other than as provided in this Section 3, at the option of the Holder upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the Holder thereof to acquire in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired hereunder.
3
(b) All of the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Holder shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, its successors and permitted assigns hereunder. This Warrant may be sold, transferred, assigned, or hypothecated only in compliance with Section 7 herein. If permitted under Section 7, any such assignment shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with a duly executed assignment in the form attached hereto (“Assignment Form”), whereupon the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant containing the same terms and conditions of this Warrant in the name of the assignee as named in the Assignment Form, and this Warrant shall be cancelled at that time. This Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder without first having the new Warrant issued.
(c) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company, together with a written notice signed by the Holder, specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued.
(d) The Company will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant; provided, that (i) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, the Company receives a reasonably satisfactory indemnity or bond, or (ii) in the case of mutilation, the Holder shall provide and surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation.
(e) Any new Warrant executed and delivered by the Company in substitution or replacement of this Warrant shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company regardless of whether this Warrant was lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, and shall be enforceable by any Holder thereof.
(f) The Holder shall pay all transfer and excise taxes applicable to any issuance of new Warrants under this Section 3.
4. Rights of the Holder. The Holder by virtue hereof shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company (including, without limitation, rights to receive dividends, vote or receive notice of meetings) or otherwise deemed to be a shareholder of the Company, either at law or equity, except as specifically provided for herein. The Company covenants, however, that for so long as this Warrant is at least partially unexercised, it will furnish the Holder with copies of all reports and communications furnished to the shareholders of the Company. The rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
5. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number and kind of securities and other property that may be acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, upon the happening of any of the following events:
4
(a) Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations, or Consolidations of Common Shares.
(i) In the event that the Company shall declare, pay, or make any dividend upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in Common Stock or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be purchased upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock through such dividend or subdivision, and the Purchase Price shall be decreased in such proportion. In case the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be acquired upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be decreased in proportion to the decrease through such combination and the Purchase Price shall be increased in such proportion.
(ii) If the Company declares, pays, or makes any dividend or other distribution upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in securities or other property (excluding cash dividends and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock, but including, without limitation, shares of any other class of the Company’s stock or stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other class of the Company’s stock or other interests in the Company or its assets (“Convertible Securities”)), the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any such distribution. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to a distribution under this Section 5(a)(ii), then such Holder shall not be entitled to such distribution.
(b) Effect of Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, or Sale of Assets.
(i) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to receipt of shares of stock and other securities, property, and interests that are issued or payable in connection therewith: (A) reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change as a result of an issuance of shares of Common Stock under Section 5(a)), (B) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a consolidation or merger subject to Section 5(b)(ii) below, or in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of the outstanding Common Stock or the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or (C) spin-off of assets, a subsidiary, or any affiliated entity. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b)(i) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and similar changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, spin-offs, sales, leases or exchanges. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to an event described in this Section 5(b)(i), then the Holder shall not be entitled to the benefits accruing to holders of the shares of Common Stock, except as may be provided in Section 5(b)(ii) below.
5
(ii) If any sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, conveyance, or exchange of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets or business or any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (a “Termination of Business”) shall be proposed, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with Section 6 below as a condition precedent to the consummation of that Termination of Business. If the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive securities or other interests of a successor entity, the Company shall cause an effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercise of this Warrant, to acquire for the Aggregate Purchase Price described in this Warrant the kind and amount of securities or other interests as would be issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares that are then purchasable pursuant to this Warrant as if such Warrant Shares had been issued to the Holder immediately prior to such event. However, if the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive money or property other than securities or other interests in a successor entity, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all of the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any distribution by the Company in connection with the Termination of Business. In the event no successor entity is involved, all acquisition rights under this Warrant shall terminate at the close of business on the date as of which shareholders of record of the shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in a distribution of the assets of the Company in connection with the Termination of Business; provided, that, in no event shall that date be less than 30 days after delivery to the Holder of this Warrant of the written notice described above and in Section 6. If the termination of acquisition rights under this Warrant is to occur as a result of the event at issue, a statement to that effect shall be included in that written notice.
(c) Purchase Price Adjustments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, upon any adjustment of the Purchase Price, the Holder shall be entitled to purchase, based upon the new Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to its adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the new Purchase Price.
(d) Application of this Section. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply to successive events that may occur from time to time but shall only apply to a particular event if it occurs prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by its exercise in full.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares or shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In the event that an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant made pursuant to this Section 5 hereof results in a number of shares issuable upon exercise which includes a fraction, at the Holder’s election, this Warrant may be exercised for the next larger whole number of shares or the Company shall make a cash payment equal to that fraction multiplied by the current market value of that share.
6
(f) Company-Held Shares. For purposes of Sections 5(a) above, Common Stock owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of, the Company in its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of the calculation and adjustments described therein.
6. Notice to the Holder.
(a) If, prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by exercise in full, any of the following shall occur: (i) the Company shall declare a dividend or authorize any other distribution on its Common Stock, including those of the type identified in Section 5(a) hereof; (ii) any reclassification, reorganization, or similar change of the shares of Common Stock, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, or the sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (iv) any purchase, retirement or redemption by the Company of its Common Stock; then, and in any such case, the Company shall deliver to the Holder written notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the earliest applicable date specified below with respect to which notice is to be given, which notice shall state the following: (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the shareholders of record of the Common Stock to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, or rights are to be determined; (y) the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or purchase, retirement, or redemption is expected to become effective, and the date, if any, as of which the Company’s holders of record of the Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, purchase, retirement, or redemption; and (z) if any matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are to be voted upon by holders of shares of Common Stock, the date as of which those shareholders to be entitled to vote are to be determined.
(b) Upon the happening of an event requiring adjustment of the Purchase Price or the kind or amount of securities or property purchasable hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give notice to the Holder which indicates the event requiring the adjustment, the adjusted Purchase Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired or the kind and amount of any such securities or property so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, as the case may be, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Company’s independent public accountant shall determine the method of calculating the adjustment and shall prepare a certificate setting forth such calculations, the reason for the methodology chosen, and the facts upon which the calculation is based. Such certificate shall accompany the notice to be provided to the Holder pursuant to this Section 6(b).

If not exercised prior to the Expiration Date, this Warrant and all rights granted under this Warrant shall expire and lapse.
1
The number and character of the securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price (defined below) are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant, or any warrant into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. The Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Warrant Shares.”
1. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
(a) Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof, the purchase price of each Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be equal to $0.25 per share (“Purchase Price”).
(b) Warrant Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time after the first date on which the Company has issued shares of Common Stock to the Holder under a Subscription Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and the Holder (the “Offering Date”) and prior to the Expiration Date, by the surrender and presentment of this Warrant accompanied by a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), together with the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice in the manner specified in Section 1(d) hereof, all of which shall be presented to the Company, at its principal office as set forth on the signature page of this Warrant, or at such other place as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder.
(c) Conditions to Acquisition of Warrant Shares. The Company’s obligation to sell the Warrant Shares to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the acquisition, purchase, issuance, or delivery of the Warrant Shares issued by any federal, state, or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect, and (ii) if the Holder is required by law, rule, or regulation promulgated by any governmental entity to comply with or seek approvals from any governmental entity prior to purchasing the Warrant Shares, such compliance or approvals must have been achieved or obtained by the Holder and proof thereof furnished to the Company; provided, however, that any failure by the Company to sell Warrant Shares to the Holder as a result of any of the foregoing conditions shall not affect or prejudice the Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares upon the subsequent satisfaction of such conditions.
(d) Payment of Purchase Price. The Aggregate Purchase Price of the Warrant Shares being acquired upon exercise of this Warrant shall be paid by the Holder to the Company by delivery of a certified bank or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available United States funds, in the amount of the Aggregate Purchase Price which shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price by the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice to be purchased upon such exercise.
2
(f) Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after full or partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (including, without limitation, the payment by it of all taxes and governmental charges applicable to such exercise and issuance of Warrant Shares) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder or such other persons as directed by the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the total number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised in such denominations as instructed by the Holder, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon exercise under the terms of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised, and the Warrant Shares acquired thereby shall be deemed issued, and the Holder or any person(s) designated by the Holder shall be deemed to have become holders of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the close of business on the date that this Warrant, the duly executed and completed Exercise Notice, and full payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price has been presented and surrendered to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed. In the event this Warrant is only partially exercised, a new Warrant evidencing the right to acquire the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised, shall be executed, issued and delivered by the Company to the Holder simultaneously with the delivery of the certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased.
2. Shares Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it will at all times on and after the Offering Date and on and prior to the Expiration Date have authorized and will reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery to the Holder, that number of shares of its Common Stock (or other securities and property) that may be required from time to time for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares when issued in accordance with this Warrant shall be duly and validly issued, shall be fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of any claim, lien, encumbrance, or security interest of any kind whatsoever, and free from all preemptive rights of any security holders of the Company. The Company shall take all action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares (and any other securities and property) may be issued and delivered as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements, of any domestic securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under federal, state, foreign or any other securities laws. The Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Purchase Price (as described in Section 5 hereof) if the total number of Warrant Shares issuable after such action upon exercise of all the outstanding Warrants, together with all the Common Stock then outstanding and all Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all other options and warrants and upon conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.
3. Exchange, Assignment, or Loss of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense other than as provided in this Section 3, at the option of the Holder upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the Holder thereof to acquire in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired hereunder.
3
(b) All of the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Holder shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, its successors and permitted assigns hereunder. This Warrant may be sold, transferred, assigned, or hypothecated only in compliance with Section 7 herein. If permitted under Section 7, any such assignment shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with a duly executed assignment in the form attached hereto (“Assignment Form”), whereupon the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant containing the same terms and conditions of this Warrant in the name of the assignee as named in the Assignment Form, and this Warrant shall be cancelled at that time. This Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder without first having the new Warrant issued.
(c) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company, together with a written notice signed by the Holder, specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued.
(d) The Company will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant; provided, that (i) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, the Company receives a reasonably satisfactory indemnity or bond, or (ii) in the case of mutilation, the Holder shall provide and surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation.
(e) Any new Warrant executed and delivered by the Company in substitution or replacement of this Warrant shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company regardless of whether this Warrant was lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, and shall be enforceable by any Holder thereof.
(f) The Holder shall pay all transfer and excise taxes applicable to any issuance of new Warrants under this Section 3.
4. Rights of the Holder. The Holder by virtue hereof shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company (including, without limitation, rights to receive dividends, vote or receive notice of meetings) or otherwise deemed to be a shareholder of the Company, either at law or equity, except as specifically provided for herein. The Company covenants, however, that for so long as this Warrant is at least partially unexercised, it will furnish the Holder with copies of all reports and communications furnished to the shareholders of the Company. The rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
5. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number and kind of securities and other property that may be acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, upon the happening of any of the following events:
4
(a) Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations, or Consolidations of Common Shares.
(i) In the event that the Company shall declare, pay, or make any dividend upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in Common Stock or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be purchased upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock through such dividend or subdivision, and the Purchase Price shall be decreased in such proportion. In case the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be acquired upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be decreased in proportion to the decrease through such combination and the Purchase Price shall be increased in such proportion.
(ii) If the Company declares, pays, or makes any dividend or other distribution upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in securities or other property (excluding cash dividends and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock, but including, without limitation, shares of any other class of the Company’s stock or stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other class of the Company’s stock or other interests in the Company or its assets (“Convertible Securities”)), the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any such distribution. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to a distribution under this Section 5(a)(ii), then such Holder shall not be entitled to such distribution.
(b) Effect of Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, or Sale of Assets.
(i) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to receipt of shares of stock and other securities, property, and interests that are issued or payable in connection therewith: (A) reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change as a result of an issuance of shares of Common Stock under Section 5(a)), (B) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a consolidation or merger subject to Section 5(b)(ii) below, or in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of the outstanding Common Stock or the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or (C) spin-off of assets, a subsidiary, or any affiliated entity. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b)(i) shall similarly apply to
5
successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and similar changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, spin-offs, sales, leases or exchanges. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to an event described in this Section 5(b)(i), then the Holder shall not be entitled to the benefits accruing to holders of the shares of Common Stock, except as may be provided in Section 5(b)(ii) below.
(ii) If any sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, conveyance, or exchange of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets or business or any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (a “Termination of Business”) shall be proposed, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with Section 6 below as a condition precedent to the consummation of that Termination of Business. If the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive securities or other interests of a successor entity, the Company shall cause an effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercise of this Warrant, to acquire for the Aggregate Purchase Price described in this Warrant the kind and amount of securities or other interests as would be issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares that are then purchasable pursuant to this Warrant as if such Warrant Shares had been issued to the Holder immediately prior to such event. However, if the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive money or property other than securities or other interests in a successor entity, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all of the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any distribution by the Company in connection with the Termination of Business. In the event no successor entity is involved, all acquisition rights under this Warrant shall terminate at the close of business on the date as of which shareholders of record of the shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in a distribution of the assets of the Company in connection with the Termination of Business; provided, that, in no event shall that date be less than 30 days after delivery to the Holder of this Warrant of the written notice described above and in Section 6. If the termination of acquisition rights under this Warrant is to occur as a result of the event at issue, a statement to that effect shall be included in that written notice.
(c) Purchase Price Adjustments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, upon any adjustment of the Purchase Price, the Holder shall be entitled to purchase, based upon the new Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to its adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the new Purchase Price.
(d) Application of this Section. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply to successive events that may occur from time to time but shall only apply to a particular event if it occurs prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by its exercise in full.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares or shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise
6
of this Warrant. In the event that an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant made pursuant to this Section 5 hereof results in a number of shares issuable upon exercise which includes a fraction, at the Holder’s election, this Warrant may be exercised for the next larger whole number of shares or the Company shall make a cash payment equal to that fraction multiplied by the current market value of that share.
(f) Company-Held Shares. For purposes of Sections 5(a) above, Common Stock owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of, the Company in its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of the calculation and adjustments described therein.
6. Notice to the Holder.
(a) If, prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by exercise in full, any of the following shall occur: (i) the Company shall declare a dividend or authorize any other distribution on its Common Stock, including those of the type identified in Section 5(a) hereof; (ii) any reclassification, reorganization, or similar change of the shares of Common Stock, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, or the sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (iv) any purchase, retirement or redemption by the Company of its Common Stock; then, and in any such case, the Company shall deliver to the Holder written notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the earliest applicable date specified below with respect to which notice is to be given, which notice shall state the following: (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the shareholders of record of the Common Stock to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, or rights are to be determined; (y) the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or purchase, retirement, or redemption is expected to become effective, and the date, if any, as of which the Company’s holders of record of the Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, purchase, retirement, or redemption; and (z) if any matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are to be voted upon by holders of shares of Common Stock, the date as of which those shareholders to be entitled to vote are to be determined.
(b) Upon the happening of an event requiring adjustment of the Purchase Price or the kind or amount of securities or property purchasable hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give notice to the Holder which indicates the event requiring the adjustment, the adjusted Purchase Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired or the kind and amount of any such securities or property so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, as the case may be, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Company’s independent public accountant shall determine the method of calculating the adjustment and shall prepare a certificate setting forth
7
such calculations, the reason for the methodology chosen, and the facts upon which the calculation is based. Such certificate shall accompany the notice to be provided to the Holder pursuant to this Section 6(b).
7. Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act.

The securities may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or hypothecated, except in a transaction registered under such acts or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of such acts. No offer or sale of the securities offered hereby may be made in the United States, or to or for, the account or benefit of a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act) during any applicable “distribution compliance period” (as that term in defined in regulations of the Securities Act) in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Further, no hedging transaction involving these securities may be conducted during such distribution compliance period unless in compliance with the registration or exemption provisions of the Securities Act.
8. Best Efforts. The Company covenants that it will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observation or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all those terms and in taking all action necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment.
9. Further Assurances. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares or other securities upon the exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding.

If not exercised prior to the Expiration Date, this Warrant and all rights granted under this Warrant shall expire and lapse.

The number and character of the securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price (defined below) are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant, or any warrant into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. The Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Warrant Shares.”
1. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
(a) Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof, the purchase price of each Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be equal to $0.25 per share (“Purchase Price”).
(b) Warrant Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time after the first date on which the Company has issued shares of Common Stock to the Holder under a Subscription Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and the Holder (the “Offering Date”) and prior to the Expiration Date, by the surrender and presentment of this Warrant accompanied by a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), together with the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice in the manner specified in Section 1(d) hereof, all of which shall be presented to the Company, at its principal office as set forth on the signature page of this Warrant, or at such other place as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder.
(c) Conditions to Acquisition of Warrant Shares.

2. Shares Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it will at all times on and after the Offering Date and on and prior to the Expiration Date have authorized and will reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery to the Holder, that number of shares of its Common Stock (or other securities and property) that may be required from time to time for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares when issued in accordance with this Warrant shall be duly and validly issued, shall be fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of any claim, lien, encumbrance, or security interest of any kind whatsoever, and free from all preemptive rights of any security holders of the Company. The Company shall take all action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares (and any other securities and property) may be issued and delivered as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements, of any domestic securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under federal, state, foreign or any other securities laws. The Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Purchase Price (as described in Section 5 hereof) if the total number of Warrant Shares issuable after such action upon exercise of all the outstanding Warrants, together with all the Common Stock then outstanding and all Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all other options and warrants and upon conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.
3. Exchange, Assignment, or Loss of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense other than as provided in this Section 3, at the option of the Holder upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the Holder thereof to acquire in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired hereunder.
3
(b) All of the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Holder shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, its successors and permitted assigns hereunder. This Warrant may be sold, transferred, assigned, or hypothecated only in compliance with Section 7 herein. If permitted under Section 7, any such assignment shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with a duly executed assignment in the form attached hereto (“Assignment Form”), whereupon the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant containing the same terms and conditions of this Warrant in the name of the assignee as named in the Assignment Form, and this Warrant shall be cancelled at that time. This Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder without first having the new Warrant issued.
(c) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company, together with a written notice signed by the Holder, specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued.
(d) The Company will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant; provided, that (i) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, the Company receives a reasonably satisfactory indemnity or bond, or (ii) in the case of mutilation, the Holder shall provide and surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation.
(e) Any new Warrant executed and delivered by the Company in substitution or replacement of this Warrant shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company regardless of whether this Warrant was lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, and shall be enforceable by any Holder thereof.
(f) The Holder shall pay all transfer and excise taxes applicable to any issuance of new Warrants under this Section 3.
4. Rights of the Holder. The Holder by virtue hereof shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company (including, without limitation, rights to receive dividends, vote or receive notice of meetings) or otherwise deemed to be a shareholder of the Company, either at law or equity, except as specifically provided for herein. The Company covenants, however, that for so long as this Warrant is at least partially unexercised, it will furnish the Holder with copies of all reports and communications furnished to the shareholders of the Company. The rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
5. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number and kind of securities and other property that may be acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, upon the happening of any of the following events:
4
(a) Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations, or Consolidations of Common Shares.
(i) In the event that the Company shall declare, pay, or make any dividend upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in Common Stock or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be purchased upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock through such dividend or subdivision, and the Purchase Price shall be decreased in such proportion. In case the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be acquired upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be decreased in proportion to the decrease through such combination and the Purchase Price shall be increased in such proportion.
(ii) If the Company declares, pays, or makes any dividend or other distribution upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in securities or other property (excluding cash dividends and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock, but including, without limitation, shares of any other class of the Company’s stock or stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other class of the Company’s stock or other interests in the Company or its assets (“Convertible Securities”)), the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any such distribution. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to a distribution under this Section 5(a)(ii), then such Holder shall not be entitled to such distribution.
(b) Effect of Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, or Sale of Assets.
(i) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to receipt of shares of stock and other securities, property, and interests that are issued or payable in connection therewith: (A) reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change as a result of an issuance of shares of Common Stock under Section 5(a)), (B) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a consolidation or merger subject to Section 5(b)(ii) below, or in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of the outstanding Common Stock or the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or (C) spin-off of assets, a subsidiary, or any affiliated entity. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b)(i) shall similarly apply to
5
successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and similar changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, spin-offs, sales, leases or exchanges. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to an event described in this Section 5(b)(i), then the Holder shall not be entitled to the benefits accruing to holders of the shares of Common Stock, except as may be provided in Section 5(b)(ii) below.
(ii) If any sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, conveyance, or exchange of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets or business or any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (a “Termination of Business”) shall be proposed, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with Section 6 below as a condition precedent to the consummation of that Termination of Business. If the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive securities or other interests of a successor entity, the Company shall cause an effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercise of this Warrant, to acquire for the Aggregate Purchase Price described in this Warrant the kind and amount of securities or other interests as would be issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares that are then purchasable pursuant to this Warrant as if such Warrant Shares had been issued to the Holder immediately prior to such event. However, if the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive money or property other than securities or other interests in a successor entity, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all of the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any distribution by the Company in connection with the Termination of Business. In the event no successor entity is involved, all acquisition rights under this Warrant shall terminate at the close of business on the date as of which shareholders of record of the shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in a distribution of the assets of the Company in connection with the Termination of Business; provided, that, in no event shall that date be less than 30 days after delivery to the Holder of this Warrant of the written notice described above and in Section 6. If the termination of acquisition rights under this Warrant is to occur as a result of the event at issue, a statement to that effect shall be included in that written notice.
(c) Purchase Price Adjustments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, upon any adjustment of the Purchase Price, the Holder shall be entitled to purchase, based upon the new Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to its adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the new Purchase Price.
(d) Application of this Section. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply to successive events that may occur from time to time but shall only apply to a particular event if it occurs prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by its exercise in full.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares or shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise
6
of this Warrant. In the event that an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant made pursuant to this Section 5 hereof results in a number of shares issuable upon exercise which includes a fraction, at the Holder’s election, this Warrant may be exercised for the next larger whole number of shares or the Company shall make a cash payment equal to that fraction multiplied by the current market value of that share.
(f) Company-Held Shares. For purposes of Sections 5(a) above, Common Stock owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of, the Company in its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of the calculation and adjustments described therein.
6. Notice to the Holder.
(a) If, prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by exercise in full, any of the following shall occur: (i) the Company shall declare a dividend or authorize any other distribution on its Common Stock, including those of the type identified in Section 5(a) hereof; (ii) any reclassification, reorganization, or similar change of the shares of Common Stock, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, or the sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (iv) any purchase, retirement or redemption by the Company of its Common Stock; then, and in any such case, the Company shall deliver to the Holder written notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the earliest applicable date specified below with respect to which notice is to be given, which notice shall state the following: (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the shareholders of record of the Common Stock to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, or rights are to be determined; (y) the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or purchase, retirement, or redemption is expected to become effective, and the date, if any, as of which the Company’s holders of record of the Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, purchase, retirement, or redemption; and (z) if any matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are to be voted upon by holders of shares of Common Stock, the date as of which those shareholders to be entitled to vote are to be determined.
(b) Upon the happening of an event requiring adjustment of the Purchase Price or the kind or amount of securities or property purchasable hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give notice to the Holder which indicates the event requiring the adjustment, the adjusted Purchase Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired or the kind and amount of any such securities or property so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, as the case may be, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Company’s independent public accountant shall determine the method of calculating the adjustment and shall prepare a certificate setting forth
7
such calculations, the reason for the methodology chosen, and the facts upon which the calculation is based. Such certificate shall accompany the notice to be provided to the Holder pursuant to this Section 6(b).
7. Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act.
(a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be offered or sold except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
(b) The Company may cause the following legend, or its equivalent, to be set forth on each certificate representing the Warrant Shares, or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, not theretofore distributed to the public or sold to underwriters, as defined by the Securities Act, for distribution to the public pursuant to Section 7(d) below:
The securities presented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, nor the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and were offered and sold in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such laws. The securities may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or hypothecated, except in a transaction registered under such acts or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of such acts. No offer or sale of the securities offered hereby may be made in the United States, or to or for, the account or benefit of a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act) during any applicable “distribution compliance period” (as that term in defined in regulations of the Securities Act) in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Further, no hedging transaction involving these securities may be conducted during such distribution compliance period unless in compliance with the registration or exemption provisions of the Securities Act.
8. Best Efforts. The Company covenants that it will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observation or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all those terms and in taking all action necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment.
9. Further Assurances. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares or other securities upon the exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding.
8
10. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, certificates, or other communications by the Company to the Holder and by the Holder to the Company shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been delivered, given, and received when personally given or on the third calendar day after it is mailed by registered or certified mail to the Holder, postage pre-paid and addressed to the Holder at his last registered address or, if the Holder has designated, by notice in writing to the Company, any other address, to such other address; and, if to the Company, addressed to it at that address appearing on the signature page of this Warrant. The Company may change its address for purposes of service of notice by written notice to the Holder at the address provided above, and the Holder may change its address by written notice to the Company.
11. Binding Effect. This Warrant shall be binding upon any corporation or other entity succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation, or other acquisition.
12. Corporate Books. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of any warrant or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
13. Applicable Law. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada.
14. Survival. The various rights and obligations of the Holder and of the Company set forth herein shall survive the exercise and surrender of this Warrant.

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Cees Ahsman and Xxxx Xxxxx, individuals, or his registered assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled to acquire from BBJ Environmental Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), an aggregate of Eighty Thousand, (80,000) shares of fully paid, nonassessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at any time on or after the Offering Date (as defined below) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on September 30, 2005 (the “Expiration Date”), at such price and upon such terms and conditions as set forth herein. If not exercised prior to the Expiration Date, this Warrant and all rights granted under this Warrant shall expire and lapse.
1
The number and character of the securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price (defined below) are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant, or any warrant into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. The Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Warrant Shares.”
1. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
(a) Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof, the purchase price of each Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be equal to $0.25 per share (“Purchase Price”).
(b) Warrant Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time after the first date on which the Company has issued shares of Common Stock to the Holder under a Subscription Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and the Holder (the “Offering Date”) and prior to the Expiration Date, by the surrender and presentment of this Warrant accompanied by a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), together with the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice in the manner specified in Section 1(d) hereof, all of which shall be presented to the Company, at its principal office as set forth on the signature page of this Warrant, or at such other place as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder.
(c) Conditions to Acquisition of Warrant Shares. The Company’s obligation to sell the Warrant Shares to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the acquisition, purchase, issuance, or delivery of the Warrant Shares issued by any federal, state, or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect, and (ii) if the Holder is required by law, rule, or regulation promulgated by any governmental entity to comply with or seek approvals from any governmental entity prior to purchasing the Warrant Shares, such compliance or approvals must have been achieved or obtained by the Holder and proof thereof furnished to the Company; provided, however, that any failure by the Company to sell Warrant Shares to the Holder as a result of any of the foregoing conditions shall not affect or prejudice the Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares upon the subsequent satisfaction of such conditions.
(d) Payment of Purchase Price. The Aggregate Purchase Price of the Warrant Shares being acquired upon exercise of this Warrant shall be paid by the Holder to the Company by delivery of a certified bank or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available United States funds, in the amount of the Aggregate Purchase Price which shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price by the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice to be purchased upon such exercise.
2
(f) Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after full or partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (including, without limitation, the payment by it of all taxes and governmental charges applicable to such exercise and issuance of Warrant Shares) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder or such other persons as directed by the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the total number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised in such denominations as instructed by the Holder, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon exercise under the terms of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised, and the Warrant Shares acquired thereby shall be deemed issued, and the Holder or any person(s) designated by the Holder shall be deemed to have become holders of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the close of business on the date that this Warrant, the duly executed and completed Exercise Notice, and full payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price has been presented and surrendered to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed. In the event this Warrant is only partially exercised, a new Warrant evidencing the right to acquire the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised, shall be executed, issued and delivered by the Company to the Holder simultaneously with the delivery of the certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased.
2. Shares Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it will at all times on and after the Offering Date and on and prior to the Expiration Date have authorized and will reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery to the Holder, that number of shares of its Common Stock (or other securities and property) that may be required from time to time for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares when issued in accordance with this Warrant shall be duly and validly issued, shall be fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of any claim, lien, encumbrance, or security interest of any kind whatsoever, and free from all preemptive rights of any security holders of the Company. The Company shall take all action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares (and any other securities and property) may be issued and delivered as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements, of any domestic securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under federal, state, foreign or any other securities laws. The Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Purchase Price (as described in Section 5 hereof) if the total number of Warrant Shares issuable after such action upon exercise of all the outstanding Warrants, together with all the Common Stock then outstanding and all Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all other options and warrants and upon conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.
3. Exchange, Assignment, or Loss of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense other than as provided in this Section 3, at the option of the Holder upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the Holder thereof to acquire in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired hereunder.
3
(b) All of the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Holder shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, its successors and permitted assigns hereunder. This Warrant may be sold, transferred, assigned, or hypothecated only in compliance with Section 7 herein. If permitted under Section 7, any such assignment shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with a duly executed assignment in the form attached hereto (“Assignment Form”), whereupon the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant containing the same terms and conditions of this Warrant in the name of the assignee as named in the Assignment Form, and this Warrant shall be cancelled at that time. This Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder without first having the new Warrant issued.
(c) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company, together with a written notice signed by the Holder, specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued.
(d) The Company will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant; provided, that (i) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, the Company receives a reasonably satisfactory indemnity or bond, or (ii) in the case of mutilation, the Holder shall provide and surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation.
(e) Any new Warrant executed and delivered by the Company in substitution or replacement of this Warrant shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company regardless of whether this Warrant was lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, and shall be enforceable by any Holder thereof.
(f) The Holder shall pay all transfer and excise taxes applicable to any issuance of new Warrants under this Section 3.
4. Rights of the Holder. The Holder by virtue hereof shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company (including, without limitation, rights to receive dividends, vote or receive notice of meetings) or otherwise deemed to be a shareholder of the Company, either at law or equity, except as specifically provided for herein. The Company covenants, however, that for so long as this Warrant is at least partially unexercised, it will furnish the Holder with copies of all reports and communications furnished to the shareholders of the Company. The rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
5. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number and kind of securities and other property that may be acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, upon the happening of any of the following events:
4
(a) Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations, or Consolidations of Common Shares.
(i) In the event that the Company shall declare, pay, or make any dividend upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in Common Stock or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be purchased upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock through such dividend or subdivision, and the Purchase Price shall be decreased in such proportion. In case the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be acquired upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be decreased in proportion to the decrease through such combination and the Purchase Price shall be increased in such proportion.
(ii) If the Company declares, pays, or makes any dividend or other distribution upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in securities or other property (excluding cash dividends and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock, but including, without limitation, shares of any other class of the Company’s stock or stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other class of the Company’s stock or other interests in the Company or its assets (“Convertible Securities”)), the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any such distribution. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to a distribution under this Section 5(a)(ii), then such Holder shall not be entitled to such distribution.
(b) Effect of Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, or Sale of Assets.
(i) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to receipt of shares of stock and other securities, property, and interests that are issued or payable in connection therewith: (A) reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change as a result of an issuance of shares of Common Stock under Section 5(a)), (B) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a consolidation or merger subject to Section 5(b)(ii) below, or in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of the outstanding Common Stock or the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or (C) spin-off of assets, a subsidiary, or any affiliated entity. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b)(i) shall similarly apply to
5
successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and similar changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, spin-offs, sales, leases or exchanges. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to an event described in this Section 5(b)(i), then the Holder shall not be entitled to the benefits accruing to holders of the shares of Common Stock, except as may be provided in Section 5(b)(ii) below.
(ii) If any sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, conveyance, or exchange of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets or business or any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (a “Termination of Business”) shall be proposed, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with Section 6 below as a condition precedent to the consummation of that Termination of Business. If the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive securities or other interests of a successor entity, the Company shall cause an effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercise of this Warrant, to acquire for the Aggregate Purchase Price described in this Warrant the kind and amount of securities or other interests as would be issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares that are then purchasable pursuant to this Warrant as if such Warrant Shares had been issued to the Holder immediately prior to such event. However, if the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive money or property other than securities or other interests in a successor entity, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all of the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any distribution by the Company in connection with the Termination of Business. In the event no successor entity is involved, all acquisition rights under this Warrant shall terminate at the close of business on the date as of which shareholders of record of the shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in a distribution of the assets of the Company in connection with the Termination of Business; provided, that, in no event shall that date be less than 30 days after delivery to the Holder of this Warrant of the written notice described above and in Section 6. If the termination of acquisition rights under this Warrant is to occur as a result of the event at issue, a statement to that effect shall be included in that written notice.
(c) Purchase Price Adjustments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, upon any adjustment of the Purchase Price, the Holder shall be entitled to purchase, based upon the new Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to its adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the new Purchase Price.
(d) Application of this Section. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply to successive events that may occur from time to time but shall only apply to a particular event if it occurs prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by its exercise in full.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares or shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise
6
of this Warrant. In the event that an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant made pursuant to this Section 5 hereof results in a number of shares issuable upon exercise which includes a fraction, at the Holder’s election, this Warrant may be exercised for the next larger whole number of shares or the Company shall make a cash payment equal to that fraction multiplied by the current market value of that share.
(f) Company-Held Shares. For purposes of Sections 5(a) above, Common Stock owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of, the Company in its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of the calculation and adjustments described therein.
6. Notice to the Holder.
(a) If, prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by exercise in full, any of the following shall occur: (i) the Company shall declare a dividend or authorize any other distribution on its Common Stock, including those of the type identified in Section 5(a) hereof; (ii) any reclassification, reorganization, or similar change of the shares of Common Stock, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, or the sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (iv) any purchase, retirement or redemption by the Company of its Common Stock; then, and in any such case, the Company shall deliver to the Holder written notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the earliest applicable date specified below with respect to which notice is to be given, which notice shall state the following: (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the shareholders of record of the Common Stock to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, or rights are to be determined; (y) the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or purchase, retirement, or redemption is expected to become effective, and the date, if any, as of which the Company’s holders of record of the Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, purchase, retirement, or redemption; and (z) if any matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are to be voted upon by holders of shares of Common Stock, the date as of which those shareholders to be entitled to vote are to be determined.
(b) Upon the happening of an event requiring adjustment of the Purchase Price or the kind or amount of securities or property purchasable hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give notice to the Holder which indicates the event requiring the adjustment, the adjusted Purchase Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired or the kind and amount of any such securities or property so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, as the case may be, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Company’s independent public accountant shall determine the method of calculating the adjustment and shall prepare a certificate setting forth
7
such calculations, the reason for the methodology chosen, and the facts upon which the calculation is based. Such certificate shall accompany the notice to be provided to the Holder pursuant to this Section 6(b).

Further, no hedging transaction involving these securities may be conducted during such distribution compliance period unless in compliance with the registration or exemption provisions of the Securities Act.
8. Best Efforts. The Company covenants that it will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observation or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all those terms and in taking all action necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment.
9. Further Assurances. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares or other securities upon the exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding.

For the Purchase of Shares of Common Stock of
BBJ Environmental Technologies, Inc.
a Nevada corporation
Void After 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on September 30, 2005.
Warrant to Purchase
133,333 Shares
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, an individual, or his registered assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled to acquire from BBJ Environmental Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), an aggregate of One Hundred Thirty-Three Thousand, Three Hundred Thirty-Three (133,333) shares of fully paid, nonassessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at any time on or after the Offering Date (as defined below) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on September 30, 2005 (the “Expiration Date”), at such price and upon such terms and conditions as set forth herein. If not exercised prior to the Expiration Date, this Warrant and all rights granted under this Warrant shall expire and lapse.
1
The number and character of the securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price (defined below) are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant, or any warrant into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. The Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Warrant Shares.”
1. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
(a) Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof, the purchase price of each Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be equal to $0.25 per share (“Purchase Price”).
(b) Warrant Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time after the first date on which the Company has issued shares of Common Stock to the Holder under a Subscription Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and the Holder (the “Offering Date”) and prior to the Expiration Date, by the surrender and presentment of this Warrant accompanied by a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), together with the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice in the manner specified in Section 1(d) hereof, all of which shall be presented to the Company, at its principal office as set forth on the signature page of this Warrant, or at such other place as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder.
(c) Conditions to Acquisition of Warrant Shares. The Company’s obligation to sell the Warrant Shares to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the acquisition, purchase, issuance, or delivery of the Warrant Shares issued by any federal, state, or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect, and (ii) if the Holder is required by law, rule, or regulation promulgated by any governmental entity to comply with or seek approvals from any governmental entity prior to purchasing the Warrant Shares, such compliance or approvals must have been achieved or obtained by the Holder and proof thereof furnished to the Company; provided, however, that any failure by the Company to sell Warrant Shares to the Holder as a result of any of the foregoing conditions shall not affect or prejudice the Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares upon the subsequent satisfaction of such conditions.
(d) Payment of Purchase Price. The Aggregate Purchase Price of the Warrant Shares being acquired upon exercise of this Warrant shall be paid by the Holder to the Company by delivery of a certified bank or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available United States funds, in the amount of the Aggregate Purchase Price which shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price by the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice to be purchased upon such exercise.
2
(f) Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after full or partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (including, without limitation, the payment by it of all taxes and governmental charges applicable to such exercise and issuance of Warrant Shares) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder or such other persons as directed by the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the total number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised in such denominations as instructed by the Holder, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon exercise under the terms of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised, and the Warrant Shares acquired thereby shall be deemed issued, and the Holder or any person(s) designated by the Holder shall be deemed to have become holders of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the close of business on the date that this Warrant, the duly executed and completed Exercise Notice, and full payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price has been presented and surrendered to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed. In the event this Warrant is only partially exercised, a new Warrant evidencing the right to acquire the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised, shall be executed, issued and delivered by the Company to the Holder simultaneously with the delivery of the certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased.
2. Shares Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it will at all times on and after the Offering Date and on and prior to the Expiration Date have authorized and will reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery to the Holder, that number of shares of its Common Stock (or other securities and property) that may be required from time to time for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares when issued in accordance with this Warrant shall be duly and validly issued, shall be fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of any claim, lien, encumbrance, or security interest of any kind whatsoever, and free from all preemptive rights of any security holders of the Company. The Company shall take all action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares (and any other securities and property) may be issued and delivered as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements, of any domestic securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under federal, state, foreign or any other securities laws. The Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Purchase Price (as described in Section 5 hereof) if the total number of Warrant Shares issuable after such action upon exercise of all the outstanding Warrants, together with all the Common Stock then outstanding and all Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all other options and warrants and upon conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.
3. Exchange, Assignment, or Loss of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense other than as provided in this Section 3, at the option of the Holder upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the Holder thereof to acquire in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired hereunder.
3
(b) All of the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Holder shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, its successors and permitted assigns hereunder. This Warrant may be sold, transferred, assigned, or hypothecated only in compliance with Section 7 herein. If permitted under Section 7, any such assignment shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with a duly executed assignment in the form attached hereto (“Assignment Form”), whereupon the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant containing the same terms and conditions of this Warrant in the name of the assignee as named in the Assignment Form, and this Warrant shall be cancelled at that time. This Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder without first having the new Warrant issued.
(c) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company, together with a written notice signed by the Holder, specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued.
(d) The Company will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant; provided, that (i) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, the Company receives a reasonably satisfactory indemnity or bond, or (ii) in the case of mutilation, the Holder shall provide and surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation.
(e) Any new Warrant executed and delivered by the Company in substitution or replacement of this Warrant shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company regardless of whether this Warrant was lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, and shall be enforceable by any Holder thereof.
(f) The Holder shall pay all transfer and excise taxes applicable to any issuance of new Warrants under this Section 3.
4. Rights of the Holder. The Holder by virtue hereof shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company (including, without limitation, rights to receive dividends, vote or receive notice of meetings) or otherwise deemed to be a shareholder of the Company, either at law or equity, except as specifically provided for herein. The Company covenants, however, that for so long as this Warrant is at least partially unexercised, it will furnish the Holder with copies of all reports and communications furnished to the shareholders of the Company. The rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
5. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number and kind of securities and other property that may be acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, upon the happening of any of the following events:
4
(a) Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations, or Consolidations of Common Shares.
(i) In the event that the Company shall declare, pay, or make any dividend upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in Common Stock or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be purchased upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock through such dividend or subdivision, and the Purchase Price shall be decreased in such proportion. In case the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be acquired upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be decreased in proportion to the decrease through such combination and the Purchase Price shall be increased in such proportion.
(ii) If the Company declares, pays, or makes any dividend or other distribution upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in securities or other property (excluding cash dividends and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock, but including, without limitation, shares of any other class of the Company’s stock or stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other class of the Company’s stock or other interests in the Company or its assets (“Convertible Securities”)), the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any such distribution. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to a distribution under this Section 5(a)(ii), then such Holder shall not be entitled to such distribution.
(b) Effect of Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, or Sale of Assets.
(i) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to receipt of shares of stock and other securities, property, and interests that are issued or payable in connection therewith: (A) reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change as a result of an issuance of shares of Common Stock under Section 5(a)), (B) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a consolidation or merger subject to Section 5(b)(ii) below, or in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of the outstanding Common Stock or the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or (C) spin-off of assets, a subsidiary, or any affiliated entity. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b)(i) shall similarly apply to
5
successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and similar changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, spin-offs, sales, leases or exchanges. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to an event described in this Section 5(b)(i), then the Holder shall not be entitled to the benefits accruing to holders of the shares of Common Stock, except as may be provided in Section 5(b)(ii) below.
(ii) If any sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, conveyance, or exchange of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets or business or any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (a “Termination of Business”) shall be proposed, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with Section 6 below as a condition precedent to the consummation of that Termination of Business. If the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive securities or other interests of a successor entity, the Company shall cause an effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercise of this Warrant, to acquire for the Aggregate Purchase Price described in this Warrant the kind and amount of securities or other interests as would be issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares that are then purchasable pursuant to this Warrant as if such Warrant Shares had been issued to the Holder immediately prior to such event. However, if the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive money or property other than securities or other interests in a successor entity, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all of the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any distribution by the Company in connection with the Termination of Business. In the event no successor entity is involved, all acquisition rights under this Warrant shall terminate at the close of business on the date as of which shareholders of record of the shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in a distribution of the assets of the Company in connection with the Termination of Business; provided, that, in no event shall that date be less than 30 days after delivery to the Holder of this Warrant of the written notice described above and in Section 6. If the termination of acquisition rights under this Warrant is to occur as a result of the event at issue, a statement to that effect shall be included in that written notice.
(c) Purchase Price Adjustments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, upon any adjustment of the Purchase Price, the Holder shall be entitled to purchase, based upon the new Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to its adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the new Purchase Price.
(d) Application of this Section. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply to successive events that may occur from time to time but shall only apply to a particular event if it occurs prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by its exercise in full.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares or shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise
6
of this Warrant. In the event that an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant made pursuant to this Section 5 hereof results in a number of shares issuable upon exercise which includes a fraction, at the Holder’s election, this Warrant may be exercised for the next larger whole number of shares or the Company shall make a cash payment equal to that fraction multiplied by the current market value of that share.
(f) Company-Held Shares. For purposes of Sections 5(a) above, Common Stock owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of, the Company in its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of the calculation and adjustments described therein.
6. Notice to the Holder.
(a) If, prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by exercise in full, any of the following shall occur: (i) the Company shall declare a dividend or authorize any other distribution on its Common Stock, including those of the type identified in Section 5(a) hereof; (ii) any reclassification, reorganization, or similar change of the shares of Common Stock, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, or the sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (iv) any purchase, retirement or redemption by the Company of its Common Stock; then, and in any such case, the Company shall deliver to the Holder written notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the earliest applicable date specified below with respect to which notice is to be given, which notice shall state the following: (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the shareholders of record of the Common Stock to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, or rights are to be determined; (y) the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or purchase, retirement, or redemption is expected to become effective, and the date, if any, as of which the Company’s holders of record of the Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, purchase, retirement, or redemption; and (z) if any matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are to be voted upon by holders of shares of Common Stock, the date as of which those shareholders to be entitled to vote are to be determined.
(b) Upon the happening of an event requiring adjustment of the Purchase Price or the kind or amount of securities or property purchasable hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give notice to the Holder which indicates the event requiring the adjustment, the adjusted Purchase Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired or the kind and amount of any such securities or property so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, as the case may be, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Company’s independent public accountant shall determine the method of calculating the adjustment and shall prepare a certificate setting forth
7
such calculations, the reason for the methodology chosen, and the facts upon which the calculation is based. Such certificate shall accompany the notice to be provided to the Holder pursuant to this Section 6(b).
7. Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act.
(a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be offered or sold except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
(b) The Company may cause the following legend, or its equivalent, to be set forth on each certificate representing the Warrant Shares, or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, not theretofore distributed to the public or sold to underwriters, as defined by the Securities Act, for distribution to the public pursuant to Section 7(d) below:
The securities presented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, nor the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and were offered and sold in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such laws. The securities may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or hypothecated, except in a transaction registered under such acts or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of such acts. No offer or sale of the securities offered hereby may be made in the United States, or to or for, the account or benefit of a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act) during any applicable “distribution compliance period” (as that term in defined in regulations of the Securities Act) in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Further, no hedging transaction involving these securities may be conducted during such distribution compliance period unless in compliance with the registration or exemption provisions of the Securities Act.
8. Best Efforts. The Company covenants that it will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observation or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all those terms and in taking all action necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment.
9. Further Assurances. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares or other securities upon the exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding.
8
10. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, certificates, or other communications by the Company to the Holder and by the Holder to the Company shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been delivered, given, and received when personally given or on the third calendar day after it is mailed by registered or certified mail to the Holder, postage pre-paid and addressed to the Holder at his last registered address or, if the Holder has designated, by notice in writing to the Company, any other address, to such other address; and, if to the Company, addressed to it at that address appearing on the signature page of this Warrant. The Company may change its address for purposes of service of notice by written notice to the Holder at the address provided above, and the Holder may change its address by written notice to the Company.
11. Binding Effect. This Warrant shall be binding upon any corporation or other entity succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation, or other acquisition.
12. Corporate Books. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of any warrant or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
13. Applicable Law. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada.
14. Survival. The various rights and obligations of the Holder and of the Company set forth herein shall survive the exercise and surrender of this Warrant.
15. No Amendments or Modifications. Neither this Warrant nor any provision hereof may be amended, modified, waived, or terminated except upon the written consent of the Company and the Holder of this Warrant.

Warrant to Purchase
33,333 Shares

If not exercised prior to the Expiration Date, this Warrant and all rights granted under this Warrant shall expire and lapse.
1
The number and character of the securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price (defined below) are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant, or any warrant into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. The Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Warrant Shares.”
1. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
(a) Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof, the purchase price of each Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be equal to $0.25 per share (“Purchase Price”).
(b) Warrant Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time after the first date on which the Company has issued shares of Common Stock to the Holder under a Subscription Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and the Holder (the “Offering Date”) and prior to the Expiration Date, by the surrender and presentment of this Warrant accompanied by a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), together with the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice in the manner specified in Section 1(d) hereof, all of which shall be presented to the Company, at its principal office as set forth on the signature page of this Warrant, or at such other place as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder.
(c) Conditions to Acquisition of Warrant Shares. The Company’s obligation to sell the Warrant Shares to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the acquisition, purchase, issuance, or delivery of the Warrant Shares issued by any federal, state, or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect, and (ii) if the Holder is required by law, rule, or regulation promulgated by any governmental entity to comply with or seek approvals from any governmental entity prior to purchasing the Warrant Shares, such compliance or approvals must have been achieved or obtained by the Holder and proof thereof furnished to the Company; provided, however, that any failure by the Company to sell Warrant Shares to the Holder as a result of any of the foregoing conditions shall not affect or prejudice the Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares upon the subsequent satisfaction of such conditions.
(d) Payment of Purchase Price. The Aggregate Purchase Price of the Warrant Shares being acquired upon exercise of this Warrant shall be paid by the Holder to the Company by delivery of a certified bank or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available United States funds, in the amount of the Aggregate Purchase Price which shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price by the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice to be purchased upon such exercise.
2
(f) Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after full or partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (including, without limitation, the payment by it of all taxes and governmental charges applicable to such exercise and issuance of Warrant Shares) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder or such other persons as directed by the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the total number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised in such denominations as instructed by the Holder, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon exercise under the terms of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised, and the Warrant Shares acquired thereby shall be deemed issued, and the Holder or any person(s) designated by the Holder shall be deemed to have become holders of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the close of business on the date that this Warrant, the duly executed and completed Exercise Notice, and full payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price has been presented and surrendered to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed. In the event this Warrant is only partially exercised, a new Warrant evidencing the right to acquire the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised, shall be executed, issued and delivered by the Company to the Holder simultaneously with the delivery of the certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased.
2. Shares Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it will at all times on and after the Offering Date and on and prior to the Expiration Date have authorized and will reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery to the Holder, that number of shares of its Common Stock (or other securities and property) that may be required from time to time for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares when issued in accordance with this Warrant shall be duly and validly issued, shall be fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of any claim, lien, encumbrance, or security interest of any kind whatsoever, and free from all preemptive rights of any security holders of the Company. The Company shall take all action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares (and any other securities and property) may be issued and delivered as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements, of any domestic securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under federal, state, foreign or any other securities laws. The Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Purchase Price (as described in Section 5 hereof) if the total number of Warrant Shares issuable after such action upon exercise of all the outstanding Warrants, together with all the Common Stock then outstanding and all Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all other options and warrants and upon conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.
3. Exchange, Assignment, or Loss of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense other than as provided in this Section 3, at the option of the Holder upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the Holder thereof to acquire in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired hereunder.
3
(b) All of the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Holder shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, its successors and permitted assigns hereunder. This Warrant may be sold, transferred, assigned, or hypothecated only in compliance with Section 7 herein. If permitted under Section 7, any such assignment shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with a duly executed assignment in the form attached hereto (“Assignment Form”), whereupon the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant containing the same terms and conditions of this Warrant in the name of the assignee as named in the Assignment Form, and this Warrant shall be cancelled at that time. This Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder without first having the new Warrant issued.
(c) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company, together with a written notice signed by the Holder, specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued.
(d) The Company will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant; provided, that (i) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, the Company receives a reasonably satisfactory indemnity or bond, or (ii) in the case of mutilation, the Holder shall provide and surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation.
(e) Any new Warrant executed and delivered by the Company in substitution or replacement of this Warrant shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company regardless of whether this Warrant was lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, and shall be enforceable by any Holder thereof.
(f) The Holder shall pay all transfer and excise taxes applicable to any issuance of new Warrants under this Section 3.
4. Rights of the Holder. The Holder by virtue hereof shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company (including, without limitation, rights to receive dividends, vote or receive notice of meetings) or otherwise deemed to be a shareholder of the Company, either at law or equity, except as specifically provided for herein. The Company covenants, however, that for so long as this Warrant is at least partially unexercised, it will furnish the Holder with copies of all reports and communications furnished to the shareholders of the Company. The rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
5. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number and kind of securities and other property that may be acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, upon the happening of any of the following events:
4
(a) Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations, or Consolidations of Common Shares.
(i) In the event that the Company shall declare, pay, or make any dividend upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in Common Stock or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be purchased upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock through such dividend or subdivision, and the Purchase Price shall be decreased in such proportion. In case the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be acquired upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be decreased in proportion to the decrease through such combination and the Purchase Price shall be increased in such proportion.
(ii) If the Company declares, pays, or makes any dividend or other distribution upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in securities or other property (excluding cash dividends and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock, but including, without limitation, shares of any other class of the Company’s stock or stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other class of the Company’s stock or other interests in the Company or its assets (“Convertible Securities”)), the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any such distribution. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to a distribution under this Section 5(a)(ii), then such Holder shall not be entitled to such distribution.
(b) Effect of Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, or Sale of Assets.
(i) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to receipt of shares of stock and other securities, property, and interests that are issued or payable in connection therewith: (A) reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change as a result of an issuance of shares of Common Stock under Section 5(a)), (B) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a consolidation or merger subject to Section 5(b)(ii) below, or in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of the outstanding Common Stock or the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or (C) spin-off of assets, a subsidiary, or any affiliated entity. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b)(i) shall similarly apply to
5
successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and similar changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, spin-offs, sales, leases or exchanges. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to an event described in this Section 5(b)(i), then the Holder shall not be entitled to the benefits accruing to holders of the shares of Common Stock, except as may be provided in Section 5(b)(ii) below.
(ii) If any sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, conveyance, or exchange of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets or business or any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (a “Termination of Business”) shall be proposed, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with Section 6 below as a condition precedent to the consummation of that Termination of Business. If the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive securities or other interests of a successor entity, the Company shall cause an effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercise of this Warrant, to acquire for the Aggregate Purchase Price described in this Warrant the kind and amount of securities or other interests as would be issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares that are then purchasable pursuant to this Warrant as if such Warrant Shares had been issued to the Holder immediately prior to such event. However, if the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive money or property other than securities or other interests in a successor entity, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all of the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any distribution by the Company in connection with the Termination of Business. In the event no successor entity is involved, all acquisition rights under this Warrant shall terminate at the close of business on the date as of which shareholders of record of the shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in a distribution of the assets of the Company in connection with the Termination of Business; provided, that, in no event shall that date be less than 30 days after delivery to the Holder of this Warrant of the written notice described above and in Section 6. If the termination of acquisition rights under this Warrant is to occur as a result of the event at issue, a statement to that effect shall be included in that written notice.
(c) Purchase Price Adjustments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, upon any adjustment of the Purchase Price, the Holder shall be entitled to purchase, based upon the new Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to its adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the new Purchase Price.
(d) Application of this Section. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply to successive events that may occur from time to time but shall only apply to a particular event if it occurs prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by its exercise in full.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares or shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise
6
of this Warrant. In the event that an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant made pursuant to this Section 5 hereof results in a number of shares issuable upon exercise which includes a fraction, at the Holder’s election, this Warrant may be exercised for the next larger whole number of shares or the Company shall make a cash payment equal to that fraction multiplied by the current market value of that share.
(f) Company-Held Shares. For purposes of Sections 5(a) above, Common Stock owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of, the Company in its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of the calculation and adjustments described therein.
6. Notice to the Holder.
(a) If, prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by exercise in full, any of the following shall occur: (i) the Company shall declare a dividend or authorize any other distribution on its Common Stock, including those of the type identified in Section 5(a) hereof; (ii) any reclassification, reorganization, or similar change of the shares of Common Stock, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, or the sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (iv) any purchase, retirement or redemption by the Company of its Common Stock; then, and in any such case, the Company shall deliver to the Holder written notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the earliest applicable date specified below with respect to which notice is to be given, which notice shall state the following: (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the shareholders of record of the Common Stock to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, or rights are to be determined; (y) the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or purchase, retirement, or redemption is expected to become effective, and the date, if any, as of which the Company’s holders of record of the Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, purchase, retirement, or redemption; and (z) if any matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are to be voted upon by holders of shares of Common Stock, the date as of which those shareholders to be entitled to vote are to be determined.
(b) Upon the happening of an event requiring adjustment of the Purchase Price or the kind or amount of securities or property purchasable hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give notice to the Holder which indicates the event requiring the adjustment, the adjusted Purchase Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired or the kind and amount of any such securities or property so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, as the case may be, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Company’s independent public accountant shall determine the method of calculating the adjustment and shall prepare a certificate setting forth
7
such calculations, the reason for the methodology chosen, and the facts upon which the calculation is based. Such certificate shall accompany the notice to be provided to the Holder pursuant to this Section 6(b).

If not exercised prior to the Expiration Date, this Warrant and all rights granted under this Warrant shall expire and lapse.
1
The number and character of the securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price (defined below) are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant, or any warrant into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. The Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Warrant Shares.”
1. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
(a) Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof, the purchase price of each Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be equal to $0.25 per share (“Purchase Price”).
(b) Warrant Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time after the first date on which the Company has issued shares of Common Stock to the Holder under a Subscription Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and the Holder (the “Offering Date”) and prior to the Expiration Date, by the surrender and presentment of this Warrant accompanied by a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), together with the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice in the manner specified in Section 1(d) hereof, all of which shall be presented to the Company, at its principal office as set forth on the signature page of this Warrant, or at such other place as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder.
(c) Conditions to Acquisition of Warrant Shares. The Company’s obligation to sell the Warrant Shares to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the acquisition, purchase, issuance, or delivery of the Warrant Shares issued by any federal, state, or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect, and (ii) if the Holder is required by law, rule, or regulation promulgated by any governmental entity to comply with or seek approvals from any governmental entity prior to purchasing the Warrant Shares, such compliance or approvals must have been achieved or obtained by the Holder and proof thereof furnished to the Company; provided, however, that any failure by the Company to sell Warrant Shares to the Holder as a result of any of the foregoing conditions shall not affect or prejudice the Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares upon the subsequent satisfaction of such conditions.
(d) Payment of Purchase Price. The Aggregate Purchase Price of the Warrant Shares being acquired upon exercise of this Warrant shall be paid by the Holder to the Company by delivery of a certified bank or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available United States funds, in the amount of the Aggregate Purchase Price which shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price by the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice to be purchased upon such exercise.
2
(f) Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after full or partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (including, without limitation, the payment by it of all taxes and governmental charges applicable to such exercise and issuance of Warrant Shares) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder or such other persons as directed by the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the total number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised in such denominations as instructed by the Holder, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon exercise under the terms of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised, and the Warrant Shares acquired thereby shall be deemed issued, and the Holder or any person(s) designated by the Holder shall be deemed to have become holders of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the close of business on the date that this Warrant, the duly executed and completed Exercise Notice, and full payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price has been presented and surrendered to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed. In the event this Warrant is only partially exercised, a new Warrant evidencing the right to acquire the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised, shall be executed, issued and delivered by the Company to the Holder simultaneously with the delivery of the certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased.
2. Shares Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it will at all times on and after the Offering Date and on and prior to the Expiration Date have authorized and will reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery to the Holder, that number of shares of its Common Stock (or other securities and property) that may be required from time to time for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares when issued in accordance with this Warrant shall be duly and validly issued, shall be fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of any claim, lien, encumbrance, or security interest of any kind whatsoever, and free from all preemptive rights of any security holders of the Company. The Company shall take all action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares (and any other securities and property) may be issued and delivered as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements, of any domestic securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under federal, state, foreign or any other securities laws. The Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Purchase Price (as described in Section 5 hereof) if the total number of Warrant Shares issuable after such action upon exercise of all the outstanding Warrants, together with all the Common Stock then outstanding and all Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all other options and warrants and upon conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.
3. Exchange, Assignment, or Loss of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense other than as provided in this Section 3, at the option of the Holder upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the Holder thereof to acquire in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired hereunder.
3
(b) All of the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Holder shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, its successors and permitted assigns hereunder. This Warrant may be sold, transferred, assigned, or hypothecated only in compliance with Section 7 herein. If permitted under Section 7, any such assignment shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with a duly executed assignment in the form attached hereto (“Assignment Form”), whereupon the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant containing the same terms and conditions of this Warrant in the name of the assignee as named in the Assignment Form, and this Warrant shall be cancelled at that time. This Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder without first having the new Warrant issued.
(c) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company, together with a written notice signed by the Holder, specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued.
(d) The Company will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant; provided, that (i) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, the Company receives a reasonably satisfactory indemnity or bond, or (ii) in the case of mutilation, the Holder shall provide and surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation.
(e) Any new Warrant executed and delivered by the Company in substitution or replacement of this Warrant shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company regardless of whether this Warrant was lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, and shall be enforceable by any Holder thereof.
(f) The Holder shall pay all transfer and excise taxes applicable to any issuance of new Warrants under this Section 3.
4. Rights of the Holder. The Holder by virtue hereof shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company (including, without limitation, rights to receive dividends, vote or receive notice of meetings) or otherwise deemed to be a shareholder of the Company, either at law or equity, except as specifically provided for herein. The Company covenants, however, that for so long as this Warrant is at least partially unexercised, it will furnish the Holder with copies of all reports and communications furnished to the shareholders of the Company. The rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
5. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number and kind of securities and other property that may be acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, upon the happening of any of the following events:
4
(a) Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations, or Consolidations of Common Shares.
(i) In the event that the Company shall declare, pay, or make any dividend upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in Common Stock or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be purchased upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock through such dividend or subdivision, and the Purchase Price shall be decreased in such proportion. In case the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be acquired upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be decreased in proportion to the decrease through such combination and the Purchase Price shall be increased in such proportion.
(ii) If the Company declares, pays, or makes any dividend or other distribution upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in securities or other property (excluding cash dividends and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock, but including, without limitation, shares of any other class of the Company’s stock or stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other class of the Company’s stock or other interests in the Company or its assets (“Convertible Securities”)), the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any such distribution. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to a distribution under this Section 5(a)(ii), then such Holder shall not be entitled to such distribution.
(b) Effect of Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, or Sale of Assets.
(i) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to receipt of shares of stock and other securities, property, and interests that are issued or payable in connection therewith: (A) reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change as a result of an issuance of shares of Common Stock under Section 5(a)), (B) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a consolidation or merger subject to Section 5(b)(ii) below, or in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of the outstanding Common Stock or the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or (C) spin-off of assets, a subsidiary, or any affiliated entity. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b)(i) shall similarly apply to
5
successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and similar changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, spin-offs, sales, leases or exchanges. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to an event described in this Section 5(b)(i), then the Holder shall not be entitled to the benefits accruing to holders of the shares of Common Stock, except as may be provided in Section 5(b)(ii) below.
(ii) If any sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, conveyance, or exchange of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets or business or any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (a “Termination of Business”) shall be proposed, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with Section 6 below as a condition precedent to the consummation of that Termination of Business. If the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive securities or other interests of a successor entity, the Company shall cause an effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercise of this Warrant, to acquire for the Aggregate Purchase Price described in this Warrant the kind and amount of securities or other interests as would be issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares that are then purchasable pursuant to this Warrant as if such Warrant Shares had been issued to the Holder immediately prior to such event. However, if the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive money or property other than securities or other interests in a successor entity, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all of the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any distribution by the Company in connection with the Termination of Business. In the event no successor entity is involved, all acquisition rights under this Warrant shall terminate at the close of business on the date as of which shareholders of record of the shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in a distribution of the assets of the Company in connection with the Termination of Business; provided, that, in no event shall that date be less than 30 days after delivery to the Holder of this Warrant of the written notice described above and in Section 6. If the termination of acquisition rights under this Warrant is to occur as a result of the event at issue, a statement to that effect shall be included in that written notice.
(c) Purchase Price Adjustments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, upon any adjustment of the Purchase Price, the Holder shall be entitled to purchase, based upon the new Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to its adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the new Purchase Price.
(d) Application of this Section. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply to successive events that may occur from time to time but shall only apply to a particular event if it occurs prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by its exercise in full.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares or shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise
6
of this Warrant. In the event that an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant made pursuant to this Section 5 hereof results in a number of shares issuable upon exercise which includes a fraction, at the Holder’s election, this Warrant may be exercised for the next larger whole number of shares or the Company shall make a cash payment equal to that fraction multiplied by the current market value of that share.
(f) Company-Held Shares. For purposes of Sections 5(a) above, Common Stock owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of, the Company in its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of the calculation and adjustments described therein.
6. Notice to the Holder.
(a) If, prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by exercise in full, any of the following shall occur: (i) the Company shall declare a dividend or authorize any other distribution on its Common Stock, including those of the type identified in Section 5(a) hereof; (ii) any reclassification, reorganization, or similar change of the shares of Common Stock, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, or the sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (iv) any purchase, retirement or redemption by the Company of its Common Stock; then, and in any such case, the Company shall deliver to the Holder written notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the earliest applicable date specified below with respect to which notice is to be given, which notice shall state the following: (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the shareholders of record of the Common Stock to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, or rights are to be determined; (y) the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or purchase, retirement, or redemption is expected to become effective, and the date, if any, as of which the Company’s holders of record of the Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, purchase, retirement, or redemption; and (z) if any matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are to be voted upon by holders of shares of Common Stock, the date as of which those shareholders to be entitled to vote are to be determined.
(b) Upon the happening of an event requiring adjustment of the Purchase Price or the kind or amount of securities or property purchasable hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give notice to the Holder which indicates the event requiring the adjustment, the adjusted Purchase Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired or the kind and amount of any such securities or property so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, as the case may be, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Company’s independent public accountant shall determine the method of calculating the adjustment and shall prepare a certificate setting forth
7
such calculations, the reason for the methodology chosen, and the facts upon which the calculation is based. Such certificate shall accompany the notice to be provided to the Holder pursuant to this Section 6(b).
7. Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act.
(a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be offered or sold except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
(b) The Company may cause the following legend, or its equivalent, to be set forth on each certificate representing the Warrant Shares, or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, not theretofore distributed to the public or sold to underwriters, as defined by the Securities Act, for distribution to the public pursuant to Section 7(d) below:

The securities may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or hypothecated, except in a transaction registered under such acts or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of such acts. No offer or sale of the securities offered hereby may be made in the United States, or to or for, the account or benefit of a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act) during any applicable “distribution compliance period” (as that term in defined in regulations of the Securities Act) in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Further, no hedging transaction involving these securities may be conducted during such distribution compliance period unless in compliance with the registration or exemption provisions of the Securities Act.
8. Best Efforts. The Company covenants that it will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observation or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all those terms and in taking all action necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment.
9. Further Assurances. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares or other securities upon the exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding.

The Company may change its address for purposes of service of notice by written notice to the Holder at the address provided above, and the Holder may change its address by written notice to the Company.

Non-US Subscription Agreement
The number and character of the securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price (defined below) are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant, or any warrant into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. The Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Warrant Shares.”
1. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
(a) Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof, the purchase price of each Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be equal to $0.25 per share (“Purchase Price”).
(b) Warrant Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time after the first date on which the Company has issued shares of Common Stock to the Holder under a Subscription Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and the Holder (the “Offering Date”) and prior to the Expiration Date, by the surrender and presentment of this Warrant accompanied by a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), together with the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice in the manner specified in Section 1(d) hereof, all of which shall be presented to the Company, at its principal office as set forth on the signature page of this Warrant, or at such other place as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder.
(c) Conditions to Acquisition of Warrant Shares. The Company’s obligation to sell the Warrant Shares to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the acquisition, purchase, issuance, or delivery of the Warrant Shares issued by any federal, state, or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect, and (ii) if the Holder is required by law, rule, or regulation promulgated by any governmental entity to comply with or seek approvals from any governmental entity prior to purchasing the Warrant Shares, such compliance or approvals must have been achieved or obtained by the Holder and proof thereof furnished to the Company; provided, however, that any failure by the Company to sell Warrant Shares to the Holder as a result of any of the foregoing conditions shall not affect or prejudice the Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares upon the subsequent satisfaction of such conditions.

(f) Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after full or partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (including, without limitation, the payment by it of all taxes and governmental charges applicable to such exercise and issuance of Warrant
Non-US Subscription Agreement
Shares) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder or such other persons as directed by the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the total number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised in such denominations as instructed by the Holder, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon exercise under the terms of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised, and the Warrant Shares acquired thereby shall be deemed issued, and the Holder or any person(s) designated by the Holder shall be deemed to have become holders of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the close of business on the date that this Warrant, the duly executed and completed Exercise Notice, and full payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price has been presented and surrendered to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed. In the event this Warrant is only partially exercised, a new Warrant evidencing the right to acquire the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised, shall be executed, issued and delivered by the Company to the Holder simultaneously with the delivery of the certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased.
2. Shares Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it will at all times on and after the Offering Date and on and prior to the Expiration Date have authorized and will reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery to the Holder, that number of shares of its Common Stock (or other securities and property) that may be required from time to time for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares when issued in accordance with this Warrant shall be duly and validly issued, shall be fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of any claim, lien, encumbrance, or security interest of any kind whatsoever, and free from all preemptive rights of any security holders of the Company. The Company shall take all action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares (and any other securities and property) may be issued and delivered as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements, of any domestic securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under federal, state, foreign or any other securities laws. The Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Purchase Price (as described in Section 5 hereof) if the total number of Warrant Shares issuable after such action upon exercise of all the outstanding Warrants, together with all the Common Stock then outstanding and all Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all other options and warrants and upon conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.
3. Exchange, Assignment, or Loss of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense other than as provided in this Section 3, at the option of the Holder upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the Holder thereof to acquire in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired hereunder.
Non-US Subscription Agreement
(b) All of the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Holder shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, its successors and permitted assigns hereunder. This Warrant may be sold, transferred, assigned, or hypothecated only in compliance with Section 7 herein. If permitted under Section 7, any such assignment shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with a duly executed assignment in the form attached hereto (“Assignment Form”), whereupon the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant containing the same terms and conditions of this Warrant in the name of the assignee as named in the Assignment Form, and this Warrant shall be cancelled at that time. This Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder without first having the new Warrant issued.
(c) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company, together with a written notice signed by the Holder, specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued.
(d) The Company will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant; provided, that (i) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, the Company receives a reasonably satisfactory indemnity or bond, or (ii) in the case of mutilation, the Holder shall provide and surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation.
(e) Any new Warrant executed and delivered by the Company in substitution or replacement of this Warrant shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company regardless of whether this Warrant was lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, and shall be enforceable by any Holder thereof.
(f) The Holder shall pay all transfer and excise taxes applicable to any issuance of new Warrants under this Section 3.
4. Rights of the Holder. The Holder by virtue hereof shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company (including, without limitation, rights to receive dividends, vote or receive notice of meetings) or otherwise deemed to be a shareholder of the Company, either at law or equity, except as specifically provided for herein. The Company covenants, however, that for so long as this Warrant is at least partially unexercised, it will furnish the Holder with copies of all reports and communications furnished to the shareholders of the Company. The rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
5. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number and kind of securities and other property that may be acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, upon the happening of any of the following events:
Non-US Subscription Agreement
(a) Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations, or Consolidations of Common Shares.
(i) In the event that the Company shall declare, pay, or make any dividend upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in Common Stock or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be purchased upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock through such dividend or subdivision, and the Purchase Price shall be decreased in such proportion. In case the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares that may thereafter be acquired upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby shall be decreased in proportion to the decrease through such combination and the Purchase Price shall be increased in such proportion.
(ii) If the Company declares, pays, or makes any dividend or other distribution upon its outstanding Common Stock payable in securities or other property (excluding cash dividends and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock, but including, without limitation, shares of any other class of the Company’s stock or stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other class of the Company’s stock or other interests in the Company or its assets (“Convertible Securities”)), the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any such distribution. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to a distribution under this Section 5(a)(ii), then such Holder shall not be entitled to such distribution.
(b) Effect of Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, or Sale of Assets.
(i) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to receipt of shares of stock and other securities, property, and interests that are issued or payable in connection therewith: (A) reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change as a result of an issuance of shares of Common Stock under Section 5(a)), (B) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a consolidation or merger subject to Section 5(b)(ii) below, or in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of the outstanding Common Stock or the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or (C) spin-off of assets, a subsidiary, or any affiliated entity. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b)(i) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and similar changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, spin-offs, sales, leases or exchanges. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the record date relating to an event described in this Section 5(b)(i), then the Holder shall not be entitled to the benefits accruing to holders of the shares of Common Stock, except as may be provided in Section 5(b)(ii) below.
Non-US Subscription Agreement
(ii) If any sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, conveyance, or exchange of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets or business or any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (a “Termination of Business”) shall be proposed, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with Section 6 below as a condition precedent to the consummation of that Termination of Business. If the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive securities or other interests of a successor entity, the Company shall cause an effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercise of this Warrant, to acquire for the Aggregate Purchase Price described in this Warrant the kind and amount of securities or other interests as would be issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares that are then purchasable pursuant to this Warrant as if such Warrant Shares had been issued to the Holder immediately prior to such event. However, if the result of the Termination of Business is that shareholders of the Company are to receive money or property other than securities or other interests in a successor entity, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant and, with respect to any Warrant Shares so acquired, shall be entitled to all of the rights of the other holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to any distribution by the Company in connection with the Termination of Business. In the event no successor entity is involved, all acquisition rights under this Warrant shall terminate at the close of business on the date as of which shareholders of record of the shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in a distribution of the assets of the Company in connection with the Termination of Business; provided, that, in no event shall that date be less than 30 days after delivery to the Holder of this Warrant of the written notice described above and in Section 6. If the termination of acquisition rights under this Warrant is to occur as a result of the event at issue, a statement to that effect shall be included in that written notice.
(c) Purchase Price Adjustments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, upon any adjustment of the Purchase Price, the Holder shall be entitled to purchase, based upon the new Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to its adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the new Purchase Price.
(d) Application of this Section. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply to successive events that may occur from time to time but shall only apply to a particular event if it occurs prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by its exercise in full.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares or shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In the event that an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant made pursuant to this Section 5 hereof results in a number of shares issuable upon exercise which includes a fraction, at the Holder’s election, this Warrant may be exercised for the next larger whole number of shares or the Company shall make a cash payment equal to that fraction multiplied by the current market value of that share.
Non-US Subscription Agreement
(f) Company-Held Shares. For purposes of Sections 5(a) above, Common Stock owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of, the Company in its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of the calculation and adjustments described therein.
6. Notice to the Holder.
(a) If, prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by exercise in full, any of the following shall occur: (i) the Company shall declare a dividend or authorize any other distribution on its Common Stock, including those of the type identified in Section 5(a) hereof; (ii) any reclassification, reorganization, or similar change of the shares of Common Stock, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, or the sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (iv) any purchase, retirement or redemption by the Company of its Common Stock; then, and in any such case, the Company shall deliver to the Holder written notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the earliest applicable date specified below with respect to which notice is to be given, which notice shall state the following: (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the shareholders of record of the Common Stock to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, or rights are to be determined; (y) the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or purchase, retirement, or redemption is expected to become effective, and the date, if any, as of which the Company’s holders of record of the Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, pledge, mortgage, exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, purchase, retirement, or redemption; and (z) if any matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are to be voted upon by holders of shares of Common Stock, the date as of which those shareholders to be entitled to vote are to be determined.
(b) Upon the happening of an event requiring adjustment of the Purchase Price or the kind or amount of securities or property purchasable hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give notice to the Holder which indicates the event requiring the adjustment, the adjusted Purchase Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired or the kind and amount of any such securities or property so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, as the case may be, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Company’s independent public accountant shall determine the method of calculating the adjustment and shall prepare a certificate setting forth such calculations, the reason for the methodology chosen, and the facts upon which the calculation is based. Such certificate shall accompany the notice to be provided to the Holder pursuant to this Section 6(b).
