2. Manner
of Exercise; Payment for Shares.
2.1. Subject
to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole

2.1.1. By the
surrender of this Warrant, together with an exercise agreement in the form
attached hereto (the “Exercise Agreement”), duly completed and executed by the
Holder, to the Company during
normal

hours on
any
business
day
at the
Company’s principal executive

2.1.2. Upon: (a)
the payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by
wire transfer
for the
account of the Company in the amount of the Exercise Price multiplied by the
number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is being exercised; or (b) the
surrender to the Company of Warrant Shares for cancellation having a Fair Market
Price (as defined below) on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price.
2.2. For the
purposes of this Warrant, the “Fair Market Price” per Warrant Share shall mean,
if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, listed on the
Nasdaq Stock Market or quoted on an over-the-counter quotation system, the
average closing or last reported sale prices, respectively, of the Common Stock
on such exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market or the average closing bid and asked
prices on an over-the-counter quotation system for the fifteen (15) business
days before the effective date of exercise of the net issuance election. If the
Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid
and ask prices are not reported, the Holder cannot elect to exercise this
Warrant pursuant to Section 2.1.2(b).

Shares as set in
Section 2 above. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing

business
days,
after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered
shall be in such denominations as may be reasonably requested by the Holder and
shall be registered in the name of the Holder. If this
Warrant shall have been exercised only
in part,
then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the
time of delivery
of such
certificates, deliver to the Holder a new warrant representing the number of
Warrant Shares
with
respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
4. Exercise

This
Warrant
may be exercised any time before 2:00 p.m., Las Vegas, Nevada time, April
8, 2010; provided, however this Warrant may not be exercised until:

control involving
the Company, where upon the occurrence of change of control, the Holder shall
have the right to exercise this Warrant and receive the Warrant Shares issuable

beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) by any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) and
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company’s
securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power
of the Company’s then outstanding securities ordinarily having the right to vote
at the election of directors with the exception of Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx and any of
this affiliates; or
4.3.3. The
distribution of a proxy statement that solicits proxies from the Company’s
stockholders and seeks stockholder approval of a plan of reorganization, merger

for or converted into cash or property or securities not issued by the
Company.
5. Covenants of
the Company. The
Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
5.1. Shares

upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant,
be
validly issued,
fully
paid, and non-assessable.
5.2. Reservation

the Exercise
Period,
the Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to provide for the exercise of this
Warrant.

and Assigns. This
Warrant shall be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger,
consolidation, or acquisition of all or substantially all the Company’s
assets.
6. Adjustment
Provisions. During
the Exercise Period, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 6.

any shares of capital stock of the Company by reclassification or capital
reorganization of its shares of Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares
and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be
adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number and kind of
shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock which the Holder would have owned
or have been entitled to receive immediately after such action had the Holder
exercised the Warrant immediately prior to the record date in the case of (1),
or the effective date in the case of (2),
(3)
or
(4).
In the
event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in a
fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up to the nearest
cent.
7. Payment
of Expenses. The
Company and the Holder shall each be responsible for their own costs and
expenses payable in connection with: (1) the negotiation, preparation,
execution
and
delivery of this Warrant and the other agreements to be executed in connection
herewith;

the
issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.

issuance tax in
connection with the issuance
of
certificates for Warrant Shares; provided, however, that the Holder shall be
responsible for any income or other taxes in connection with such issuance.
3
8. No
Rights
or
Liabilities as a Stockholder. This
Warrant
shall not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder
of the
Company.
No provision of this
Warrant,
in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Warrant Shares,
and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a
stockholder
of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.

Exchange, and Replacement
of Warrant. This
Warrant, nor any interest in this Warrant,

such new Warrants to represent the right to
purchase such number of shares of Common Stock (not to exceed the aggregate
total number purchasable hereunder) as shall be reasonably designated
by the
Holder 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, and, in case of
loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity, or security reasonably satisfactory to
it, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the
Company will make and deliver
a new
Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant.

surrender of this Warrant in
connection with any transfer, exchange, or replacement as provided in this
Section 9, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company.

payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of new
Warrants pursuant to this Section 9.

with any
transfer of a certificate for Warrant Shares.

at its
principal executive offices (or such other location as the Company may designate

shall
record
the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued,
as well as the name and address of each transferee and each prior owner of this
Warrant.

amendment or modification of this Warrant
shall be deemed effective unless and until such amendment or modification is an
express writing executed by both the
Parties.
11. Governing
Law. This
Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of Nevada without regard to the body of law
controlling conflicts of law. The parties hereto hereby submit to the exclusive

Holder of its intention to effect such a registration and will include in such
registration all of the Warrant Shares with respect to which the Company has
received written request for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days after the

and conditions of an underwriting agreement among the Company, Holder and the
managing underwriter, if applicable, the customary underwriter cut back
provisions and the execution of a customary standstill of not less than one
hundred and eighty (180) days. In

hold harmless the Company, its affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, employees and affiliates against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, joint or several, to which such parties may become subject under
the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (1) any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement,
prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto or in any application; or (2) any omission or alleged omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements

reimburse the Company, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and
affiliates for any legal or any other expenses incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or
proceeding; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify will be limited

claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the
consent of Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld).

by the Company. In
connection with any registration statement in which Holder is participating, the

respective officers, directors, employees and affiliates against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, to which such parties may become
subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,

threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (1) any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration
statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto or in any application; or (2) any omission or alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, unless such untrue statement or omission
is made in such registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by
Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall reimburse Holder, its
affiliates, officers, directors, employees and affiliates for any legal or any
other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending

the obligation to indemnify will be limited to the Company and shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
