or from time to time, from and after the Effective Date and on or before the
Expiration Date by delivery (including, without limitation, delivery by
facsimile) of the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit
1
(the
"Notice
of Exercise"),
duly
executed by the Holder, to the Company at its principal office, and as soon
as
practicable after such date, surrendering:
(a) this

In lieu
of the payment methods set forth in Section 2.1 (b) above, when permitted by

Securities Dealers (a "NASD Dealer”)), whereby the Holder irrevocably elects to
exercise this Warrant and to sell a portion of the shares so purchased to pay
for the Purchase Price and the Holder (or, if applicable, the NASD Dealer)
commits upon sale (or, in the case of the NASD Dealer, upon receipt) of such
shares to forward the Purchase Price directly to the Company.

fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
an exercise of this Warrant.
2.4 Partial
Exercise; Effective Date of Exercise.
In case
of any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant

and date for the balance of the shares of Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder.
This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the
close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above.
The Person entitled to receive the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of
record of such shares as of the close of business on the date the Holder is
deemed to have exercised this Warrant.
3. VALID
ISSUANCE; TAXES. All
shares of Warrant Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; provided that the Company shall
pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect
of
the issue or delivery thereof. The Company shall not be required to pay any
tax
or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance
of any certificate for shares of Warrant Stock in any name other than that
of
the Registered Holder of this Warrant, and in such case the Company shall not
be
required to issue or deliver any stock certificate or security until such tax
or
other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company's
reasonable satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.
4. ADJUSTMENT
OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.
The
number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or
any
shares of stock or other securities or property receivable or issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant) and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment
upon
occurrence of any of the following events:
4.1 Adjustment
for Stock Splits, Stock Subdivisions or Combinations of Shares.
The
Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally decreased and the number
of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares
of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant)
shall be proportionally increased to reflect any stock split or subdivision
of
the Warrant Stock. The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally
increased and the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise
of
this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally decreased to reflect
any
combination of the Warrant Stock.
3
4.2 Reclassification.
If the
Company, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of
the
securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same
or
a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant
shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of
securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect
to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant
immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Purchase
Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 4.
4.3 Adjustment
for Capital Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation.
In case
of any reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than a
combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise
provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the Company with or
into
another Person, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, then, and in each such case, as a part of such reorganization, merger,
consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the
Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise
of
this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the
Purchase Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities
or property of the successor Person resulting from such reorganization, merger,
consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares deliverable upon
exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such
reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had
been
exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale
or
transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4.
The
foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock
or securities of any other Person that are at the time receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant. If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder
hereof for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other
than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall
be determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. In all events,
appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board
of
Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant
with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction,
to
the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that
event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property
deliverable after that event-upon exercise of this Warrant.

receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the ownership

and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver in
lieu
thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
Warrant.
7. RESERVATION

Company hereby covenants that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance
and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Warrant
Stock, Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are
from
time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time,
will
take all steps necessary to amend its Articles of Incorporation to provide
sufficient reserves of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such
exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and
clear
of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions
on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, except encumbrances or
restrictions arising under federal or state securities laws. Issuance of this
Warrant shall constitute full authority to the Company's officers who are
charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue
the
necessary certificates for shares of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant.
8. RESTRICTIONS
ON TRANSFER.
The
Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration

"Securities Act"), covering the disposition or sale of this Warrant or the
Warrant Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof, as the case may be,
and
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, such
Holder will not sell, transfer, pledge, or hypothecate any or all such Warrants
or Warrant Stock, as the case may be, unless either (a) the Company has received
an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that such registration is not required in connection
with
such disposition or (b) the sale of such securities is made pursuant to SEC
Rule
144.
9. COMPLIANCE
WITH SECURITIES LAWS.
By
acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder hereby represents, warrants and
covenants: (a) that any shares of stock purchased upon exercise of the Warrant
shall be acquired for investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in
connection with, any distribution thereof; (b) that the Holder has had such
opportunity as such Holder has deemed adequate to obtain from representatives
of
the Company such information as is necessary to permit the Holder to evaluate
the merits and risks of its investment in the Company; (c) that the Holder
is
able to bear the economic risk of holding such shares as may be acquired
pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period; (d) that
the
Holder understands that the shares of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise
of
this Warrant will not be registered under the Securities Act (unless otherwise
required pursuant to exercise by the Holder of the registration rights, if
any,
previously granted to the Registered Holder) and will be "restricted securities"
within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 and that the exemption from registration
under Rule 144 will not be available for at least one year from the date of
exercise of this Warrant, subject to any special treatment by the SEC for
exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 2.2, and even then will not be
available unless a public market then exists for the stock, adequate information
concerning the Company is then available to the public, and other terms and
conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; (e) that all stock certificates
representing shares of stock issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant
or upon conversion of such shares may have affixed thereto a legend
substantially in the following form:

Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as
a
stockholder of the Company. In the absence of affirmative action by such Holder
to purchase Warrant Stock by exercise of this Warrant, no provisions of this
Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder
hereof shall cause such Holder hereof to be a stockholder of the Company for
any
purpose.
11.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
(a)
(i)
If
Plastinum at any time proposes to file with the SEC a registration statement
under the Securities Act on any form for the general registration of securities
to be sold for cash (a “Registration
Statement”)
with
respect to any of its shares of Common Stock (whether to be sold by Plastinum
or
by other stockholders), it will give written notice (a “Piggyback
Notice”)
to the
Consultant at least thirty (30) days before the initial filing of such
Registration Statement, which notice shall set forth the intended method of
disposition of the securities proposed to be registered. The notice shall offer
to include in such filing such aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock
as
the Consultant may request. If the Consultant desires to have shares of Warrant
Stock registered under this Section 11, it shall advise Plastinum in writing
ten
(10) days after the date of receipt of such offer from Plastinum, setting forth
the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which registration is requested.
Plastinum shall thereupon include in such filing the aggregate number of Warrant
Stock for which registration is so requested by the Consultant.
6
(ii)
If
the
managing underwriter of a proposed public offering shall advise Plastinum in
writing that, in its opinion, the distribution of the shares of Warrant Stock
held by the Consultant which have been requested to be included in the
Registration Statement concurrently with the Common Stock being registered
for
Plastinum under clause (i) above would adversely affect the distribution of
such
securities, then the number of shares of Common Stock which the Consultant
shall
be permitted to include in the Registration Statement shall be limited to such
amount as in the opinion of the underwriter necessary to provide for the orderly
distribution of such securities.
(iii)
All
expenses of registrations under this subparagraph (a) of this Section 11 related
to the registration of Warrant Stock shall be borne by Plastinum, other than
underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable
to the sale of Common Stock, which shall be paid by the Consultant.
(b) (i) The
Consultant, by participating in any such registration, agrees to indemnify
and
hold harmless Plastinum, its subsidiaries and their directors and officers,
each
other person, if any, who controls Plastinum within the meaning of the
Securities Act, each other person (including each underwriter) who participated
in the offering of such securities and each other person, if any, who controls
such participating person against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which Plastinum, its subsidiaries or any such director
or
officer or any such person may become subject under the Securities Act or any
other statute or at common law insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), arise out of or are based upon
information in writing provided to Plastinum or its subsidiaries by the
Consultant specifically for use in any Registration Statement under which such
shares of Common Stock were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement
thereto.
(ii) Plastinum
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Consultant, its subsidiaries and
their
directors and officers, each other person, if any, who controls the Consultant
within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages
or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Consultant, its subsidiaries or
any
such director or officer or any such person may become subject under the
Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in the Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to
make the statements therein not misleading; provided,
however,
that
Plastinum will not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon written information
provided to Plastinum or its subsidiaries by the Consultant specifically for
use
in any Registration Statement under which such shares of Common Stock were
registered under the Securities Act at the request of such holder, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereto.
7
(iii) The
Consultant shall, if requested by Plastinum, enter into an underwriting
agreement or similar agreement containing customary indemnification provisions
substantially similar to those in this Section 11.

agrees that all actions or proceedings relating to this Warrant may be litigated
in such courts, and the Company waives any objection which it may have based

such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly

If any
term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Warrant is held by a court
of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder
of
the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Warrant shall remain
in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated.
