For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by SKINNY NUTRITIONAL CORP., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), XXX XXXXXXX (the “Holder”), is hereby granted the right to purchase, at any time from the date that this Warrant is issued until 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on February 23, 2013 (the “Warrant Exercise Term”), up to TEN MILLION (10,000,000) fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”).
l. Exercise of Warrant
1.1 This Warrant is exercisable at a per share price of $0.04 (the “Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment as provided in Section l hereof, payable in cash or by certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds. Upon surrender of this warrant certificate with the annexed Subscription Form duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased at the Company’s principal executive offices the registered Holder of the Warrant shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares of the Common Stock) during any period in which this Warrant may be exercised as set forth above. In the case of the purchase of less than all the shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon the surrender thereof and, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
1.2 The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of such certificate in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
1.3 Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Corporation shall (A) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (B) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (C) combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made herein which results in a decrease (or increase) in the Exercise Price shall also effect a proportional increase (or decrease) in the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable. Successive adjustments in the Exercise Price shall be made whenever any event specified above shall occur.
1.4 Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Conveyance. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with any other corporation (other than a wholly owned subsidiary), or in case of sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or in the case of any share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities or property, the Company will be required to make appropriate provision so that the Holder will have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange.
1.5 The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued and fully-paid and non-assessable.
2. Restrictions on Transfer
The Holder acknowledges that he has been advised by the Company that this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise thereof (collectively the “Securities”) have not been registered under the Securities Act of l933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), that the Warrant is being issued, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant will be issued, on the basis of the statutory exemption provided by section 4(2) of the Securities Act relating to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and that the Company's reliance upon this statutory exemption is based in part upon the representations made by the Holder contained herein. The Holder acknowledges that he has been informed by the Company of, or is otherwise familiar with, the nature of the limitations imposed by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder on the transfer of securities. In particular, the Holder agrees that no sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities shall be valid or effective, and the Company shall not be required to give any effect to any such sale, assignment or transfer, unless (i) the sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities is registered under the Securities Act, and the Company has no obligations or intention to so register the Securities except as may otherwise be provided herein, or (ii) the Securities are sold, assigned or transferred in accordance with all the requirements and limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or such sale, assignment, or transfer is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The Holder represents and warrants that he has acquired this Warrant and will acquire the Securities for his own account for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof or the granting of any participation therein, and that he has no present intention of distributing or selling to others any of such interest or granting any participation therein. The Holder acknowledges that the securities shall bear the following legend:

|
“These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of l933. Such securities may not be sold or offered for sale, transferred, hypothecated or otherwise assigned in the absence of an effective registration statement with respect thereto under such Act or an opinion of counsel to the Company that an exemption from registration for such sale, offer, transfer, hypothecation or other assignment is available under such Act.”

Registration Rights.
|
3.1 Piggyback Registration Rights. The Company shall advise the Holder of this Warrant or of the Warrant Shares or any then Holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares (such persons being collectively referred to herein as "Holders") by written notice at least 20 days prior to the filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission of any other registration statement under the Securities Act of l933 (the "Act") covering securities of the Company, except on Forms S-4 or S-8 (or similar successor form), and upon the request of any such Holder within ten days after the date of such notice, include in any such registration statement such information as may be required to permit a public offering of the Warrant Shares. The Company shall supply such number of prospectuses and other documents as the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Warrant Shares, qualify the Warrant Shares for sale in such states as any such Holder reasonably designates and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or desirable to enable such Holders to consummate the public sale or other disposition of the Warrant Shares, and furnish indemnification in the manner as set forth below. Such Holders shall furnish information and indemnification as set forth below. For the purpose of the foregoing, inclusion of the Warrant Shares by the Holder in a Registration Statement under a condition that the offer and/or sale of such Warrant Shares not commence until a date not to exceed 90 days from the effective date of such registration statement shall be deemed to be in compliance with this sub-paragraph.
3.2 Procedures. The foregoing registration rights shall be contingent on the Holders furnishing the Company with such appropriate information (relating to the intentions of such Holders) as the Company shall reasonably request in writing. Following the effective date of such registration, the Company shall upon the request of any owner of Warrants and/or Warrant Shares forthwith supply such number of prospectuses meeting the requirements of the Act as shall be requested by such owner to permit such Holder to make a public offering of all Warrant Shares from time to time offered or sold to such Holder, provided that such Holder shall from time to time furnish the Company with such appropriate information (relating to the intentions of such Holder) as the Company shall request in writing. The Company shall also use its best efforts to qualify the Warrant Shares for sale in such states as such Holder shall reasonably designate. The Company may withdraw the registration at any time.
3
3.3 Indemnity. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each such Holder and each underwriter, if any, within the meaning of the Act, who may purchase from or sell for any such Holder any Warrant Shares from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or any registration statement under the Act or any prospectus included therein required to be filed or furnished by reason of this Section 3 or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission based upon information furnished or required to be furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder or underwriter expressly for use therein, which indemnification shall include each person, if any, who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of such Act; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obliged so to indemnify any such Holder or underwriter or controlling person unless such Holder or underwriter shall at the same time agree to indemnify the Company, its directors, each officer signing the related registration statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of such Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or any prospectus required to be filed or furnished by reason of this Section 3 or caused by any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by any such Holder or underwriter expressly for use therein.
3.4 Registration Expenses. The Holder thereof shall pay all transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale of its shares, any registration fees, underwriting discounts or commissions or the equivalent thereof applicable to the sale of its shares and the fees of his own counsel. Other than as described in the preceding sentence, the Company shall pay all expenses incident to the registration of the Warrant Shares by the Company, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, underwriting discounts, fees and expenses (other than any Holder’s portion of any underwriting discounts or commissions or the equivalent thereof), printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Company and the independent certified public accountants and other persons retained by the Company.

Redemption.
|
4.1 The Company may, subject to the conditions set forth herein, redeem some or all of the Warrants then outstanding upon not less than thirty (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Warrant Holders at any time, provided: (i) this Warrant has been issued by the Company; (ii) all of the Warrant Shares have been registered for resale and continue to be covered by an effective and current registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Notice will be effective upon mailing and the time of mailing is the “Effective Date of the Notice”. The Notice will state a redemption date not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days from the Effective Date of the Notice (the “Redemption Date”). No Notice shall be mailed unless all funds necessary to pay for redemption of the Warrants to be redeemed shall have first been set aside by the Company for the benefit of the Warrant Holders so as to be and continue to be available therefor. The redemption price to be paid to the Warrant Holders will be $.10 for each share of Common Stock of the Company to which the Warrant Holder would then be entitled upon exercise of the Warrant being redeemed, as adjusted from time to time as provided herein (the “Redemption Price”). The Warrant Holders may exercise their Warrants between the Effective Date of the Notice and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the business day immediately prior to the Redemption Date, such exercise being effective if done in accordance with Section 1 hereof, and if the Warrant Certificate, with form of election to purchase duly executed and the Warrant Price, as applicable for such Warrant subject to redemption for each share of Common Stock to be purchased is actually received by the Company at its principal offices prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the business day immediately prior to the Redemption Date.
4
4.2 If any Warrant Holder does not wish to exercise any Warrant being redeemed, he should mail such Warrant to the Company at its principal offices after receiving the Notice of Redemption required by this Section 4. If such Notice of Redemption shall have been so mailed, and if on or before the Effective Date of the Notice all funds necessary to pay for redemption of the Warrants subject to redemption shall have been set aside by the Company for the benefit of such Warrant Holders, then, on and after said Redemption Date, notwithstanding that any Warrant subject to redemption shall not have been surrendered for redemption, the obligation evidenced by all Warrants not surrendered for redemption or effectively exercised shall be deemed no longer outstanding, and all rights with respect thereto shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holder of each Warrant subject to redemption to receive the Redemption Price for each share of Common Stock to which he would be entitled if he exercised the Warrant upon receiving notice of redemption of the Warrant subject to redemption held by him.
5. Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificates.
This Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender hereof by the registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Warrant Shares in such denominations as shall be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of such surrender.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrants, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu thereof and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated warrant shall thereupon become void.
6. Elimination of Fractional Interests.
The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of the shares of Common Stock and shall not be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up or down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.
7. Rights of Warrant Holders.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, including without limitation, or Holders the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of stockholders for the election of directors the right to receive dividends or any other matter.

8.3 No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of any right of any Holder hereof, and no delay on the part of the Holder in exercising any right hereunder shall so operate.
