To

February

FOR
VALUE
RECEIVED, Barnabus Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”
or
the
“Corporation”),
hereby grants to Bank Xxx. Xxxxxxxxx jr. & Cie. (Schweiz) AG on behalf of
fully managed accounts (together with its permitted successors and assigns,
the
“Registered
Holder”),
the
right to purchase at any time up to and including January 31, 2011 (the
“Termination
Date”),
the
number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock of the Company,
$0.001 par value per share (the “Common
Stock”,
and
those shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant being the
“Warrant
Shares”),
equal
to (i) $1,500,000 divided by(ii) the Warrant Price (as defined below) then
in
effect. This Warrant is being issued pursuant to that certain Investment
Agreement of even date herewith among the Company, the initial Registered Holder
and the other purchasers listed on the signature page thereof (the “Investment
Agreement). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings given to such terms in the Investment Agreement.
1. EXERCISE.
(a) This
Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder on or before the Termination
Date, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase
form
appended hereto as Exhibit
I
duly
executed by the Registered Holder at the principal executive offices of the
Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate,
accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of the
Warrant Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased
upon
such exercise. The "Warrant Price" shall initially be $2.23 and from time to
time shall be such amount adjusted in accordance with Section 2 hereof.
(b) Each
exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately
prior
to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been
surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection 1(a) above (the
“Exercise Date”). At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any
certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided
in subsection 1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or
holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such
certificates.
-1-
(c) As
soon
as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in
any
event within twenty (20) days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will
cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder,
or
as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes)
may direct:
(i) a
certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares to which the
Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise; and
(ii) in
case
such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof)
of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the
number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein)
to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the
number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such
exercise.
2. ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) Adjustment
for Stock Splits and Combinations.
If the
Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date on which this
Warrant was first issued (the “Original
Issue Date”)
effect
a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to
time
after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under
this
paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the
subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(b) Adjustments
for Other Dividends and Distributions.
In the
event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue
Date
shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders
of
Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable
in
securities of the Company or in cash or other property, then and in each such
event the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof, in addition
to
the Warrant Shares, the kind and amount of securities of the Company and/or
cash
and other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to
receive had this Warrant been exercised on the date of such event.
(c) Adjustment
for Mergers or Reorganizations, etc.
If
there shall occur any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization,
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all assets or merger involving
the
Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities,
cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by subsection 2(b)
above), then, following any such reclassification, reorganization,
recapitalization, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all assets or
merger, and without payment of any additional consideration thereof, the
Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof the kind and amount of
securities, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been
entitled to receive if, immediately prior to such reclassification,
reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger, sale of all or
substantially all assets, the Registered Holder had held the Warrant Shares,
giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this
Section 2.
-2-
The
foregoing provisions of this Section 2(c) shall similarly apply to
successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and
to
the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per share consideration payable to
the
holder hereof for Warrant 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.
(d) Subsequent
Issuances.
Except
for Excluded Issuances, if and whenever the Corporation shall issue or sell
any
shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Warrant
Price
in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then and in
each
such case (a “Trigger
Issuance”)
the
then-existing Warrant Price shall be reduced, as of the close of business on
the
effective date of the Trigger Issuance, to the lowest per share price at which
such Additional Shares of Common Stock were issued or sold.
If
any
time the Corporation shall in any manner grant (directly and not by assumption
in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or
to
purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock, or any stock or
security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants,
rights or options being called “Options”
and
such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called “Convertible
Securities”),
whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such
Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, no adjustment of the Warrant
Price shall be made at the time of such grant. Rather, at the time of the
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Options or Convertible Securities,
if
the price per share at which Common Stock is issued upon the exercise of such
Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities
(determined by dividing (A) the sum of (x) the total amount, if any, received
by
the Corporation as consideration for the granting of such Options or Convertible
Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration paid
to
the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, paid upon the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock being issued
upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all
such
Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to the time of such conversion, exercise or exchange, then
the
Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal the price at which Common Stock is
issued upon such exercise or conversion or exchange.
-3-
If
any
shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or
sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the
amount received by the Corporation therefor plus the amount, if any, to be
received upon exercise or conversion thereof, without deduction therefrom of
any
expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed
by the Corporation in connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration
other than cash or for a consideration including cash and such other
consideration, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by
the
Corporation shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as
determined in good faith by the Board, without deduction of any expenses
incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by
the
Corporation in connection therewith. In case any Options shall be issued in
connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the Corporation,
together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration
is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be
deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith
by
the Board. This determination of the fair value of consideration (or the
allocation thereof) need not be the amount recorded in the books and records
of
the Corporation if the Board determines that the determination of different
amounts for different contexts is in the best interest of the Corporation and
its stockholders and creditors as a whole.
As
used
herein, “Excluded
Issuances”
shall
mean any issuance of Common Stock (A) to directors, officers, employees or
consultants of the Corporation, (B) upon the conversion or exercise of Options
or Convertible Securities issued prior to the date hereof, unless such
securities have been amended or modified in any manner after the date hereof,
(C) pursuant to the Investment Agreement and other agreements in effect on
the
date hereof and securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of those
securities, (D) by reason of a dividend, stock split or other distribution
on
shares of Common Stock; (E) to Xxxxx Xxxxxxx or Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx pursuant to
the
terms of their employment agreements; (F) in connection with the acquisition
of
a business or technology, the formation of a joint venture or a strategic
investment; and (G) at or above a price of $1.50 per share (which per share
amount shall be adjusted pro rata in the case of any split, dividend,
combination or other event affecting the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock).
(e) Milestone
Adjustments.
The
Warrant Price shall be adjusted as, when and to the extent provided in
this
paragraph (e); provided,
however,
no
further adjustments to the Warrant Price shall be made pursuant to this
paragraph (e) with respect to any fiscal quarter ended after November 30, 2006
if: (x) there was no Milestone Failure with respect to the fiscal quarter ended
November 30, 2006; and (y) the VWAP for any twenty (20) consecutive Trading
Days
after the Milestone Announcement Date with respect to the fiscal quarter ended
November 30, 2006 is at least $4.00 per share (which per share amount shall
be
adjusted pro rata in the case of any split, dividend, combination or other
event
affecting the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock). Upon each Milestone
Failure Date, the Warrant Price in effect on such Milestone Failure Date shall,
at the election of the Registered Holder, be decreased to 115% of the VWAP
for
the five (5) Trading Days immediately following such Milestone Failure Date.
With
respect to each fiscal quarter ended after a Milestone Failure Date, if the
cumulative Net Sales through such fiscal quarter ended exceed the cumulative
Milestones such fiscal quarter, then
all
prior adjustments made pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall be reversed. For
purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:

to
the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
