STONEPATH GROUP, INC.
(Incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware)
REPRESENTATIVE'S WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK [the Warrant will be for the same Securities sold in the Placement]
Warrant Price: $_____ [110% of the price that the Securities were sold in the
Placement] per share, subject to adjustment as provided below.
THIS IS TO CERTIFY that, for value received, Stonegate Securities, Inc.
("Stonegate") and its assigns (collectively, the "Holder"), is entitled to
purchase, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, up to
***______*** shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common
Stock"), of Stonepath Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
to receive certificate(s) for the Common Stock so purchased.
1. Exercise Period and Vesting. The exercise period is the period beginning
on the date of this Warrant (the "Issuance Date") and ending at 5:00 p.m.,
Dallas, Texas time, on ______________ [five years from the Issuance Date] (the
"Exercise Period"). This Warrant is vested in full as of the Issuance Date and
is immediately exercisable by Holder. This Warrant will terminate automatically
and immediately upon the expiration of the Exercise Period.
2. Exercise of Warrant; Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised,
in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time during the Exercise
Period. Such exercise shall be accomplished by tender to the Company of the
purchase price set forth above as the warrant price (the "Warrant Price"),
either (a) in cash, by wire transfer or by certified check or bank cashier's
check, payable to the order of the Company, or (b) by surrendering such number
of shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of this Warrant with a current
market price equal to the Warrant Price (a "Cashless Exercise"), together with
1
presentation and surrender to the Company of this Warrant with an executed
subscription in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Subscription"). Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Company will deliver to the
Holder, as promptly as possible, a certificate or certificates representing the
shares of Common Stock so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or its
transferee (as permitted under Section 3 below). With respect to any exercise of
this Warrant, the Holder will for all purposes be deemed to have become the
holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder on
the date this Warrant, a properly executed Subscription and payment of the
Warrant Price is received by the Company (the "Exercise Date"), irrespective of
the date of delivery of the certificate evidencing such shares, except that, if
the date of such receipt is a date on which the stock transfer books of the
Company are closed, such person will be deemed to have become the holder of such
shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock
transfer books are open. Fractional shares of Common Stock will not be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would
have been issued but for the immediately preceding sentence, the Holder will be
entitled to receive cash equal to the current market price of such fraction of a
share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Exercise
Date. In the event this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall issue a
new Warrant to the Holder covering the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock as to which this Warrant remains exercisable for.
If the Holder elects to conduct a Cashless Exercise, the Company shall
cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing
the number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y (A-B)
-----
A
Where:
X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
Holder;
Y = the portion of the Warrant (in number of shares
of Common Stock) being exercised by Holder (at the
date of such calculation);
A = the fair market value of one share of Common
Stock on the Exercise Date (as calculated below);
and
B = Warrant Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation).
For purposes of the foregoing calculation, "fair market value of one share
of Common Stock on the Exercise Date" shall mean: (i) if the principal trading
market for such securities is a national or regional securities exchange, the
average closing price on such exchange for the ten (10) trading days immediately
prior to such Exercise Date; (ii) if sales prices for shares of Common Stock are
reported by the Nasdaq National Market System or Nasdaq Small Cap Market (or a
similar system then in use), the average last reported sales price for the ten
(10) trading days immediately prior to such Exercise Date; or (iii) if neither
(i) nor (ii) above are applicable, and if bid and ask prices for shares of
Common Stock are reported in the over-the-counter market by Nasdaq (or, if not
so reported, by the National Quotation Bureau), the average of the high bid and
2
low ask prices so reported for the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to
such Exercise Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is no reported
closing price, last reported sales price, or bid and ask prices, as the case may
be, for the period in question, then the current market price shall be
determined as of the latest ten (10) day period prior to such day for which such
closing price, last reported sales price, or bid and ask prices, as the case may
be, are available, unless such securities have not been traded on an exchange or
in the over-the-counter market for 30 or more days immediately prior to the day
in question, in which case the current market price shall be determined in good
faith by, and reflected in a formal resolution of, the Board of Directors of the
Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that this Warrant was issued on the
Issuance Date.
3. Transferability and Exchange.
(a) This Warrant, and the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
hereof, may not be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless the Company
shall have been provided with an opinion of counsel, or other evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it, that such transfer is not in violation of the
Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws. Subject to the
satisfaction of the aforesaid condition, this Warrant and the underlying shares
of Common Stock shall be transferable from time to time by the Holder upon
written notice to the Company; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, prior to the first anniversary of the Issuance Date,
transfers may only be made to directors, officers, employees, principals,
shareholders and affiliates of Holder. If this Warrant is transferred, in whole
or in part, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company,
deliver to each transferee a Warrant evidencing the rights of such transferee to
purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that such transferee is entitled
to purchase pursuant to such transfer. The Company may place a legend similar to
the legend at the top of this Warrant on any replacement Warrant and on each
certificate representing shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or any
replacement Warrants. Only a registered Holder may enforce the provisions of
this Warrant against the Company. A transferee of the original registered Holder
becomes a registered Holder only upon delivery to the Company of the original
Warrant and an original Assignment, substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit B attached hereto.
(b) This Warrant is exchangeable upon its surrender by the Holder to
the Company for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the
aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares purchasable hereunder, each
of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as
may be designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.
4. Adjustments to Warrant Price and Number of Shares Subject to Warrant.
The Warrant Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of any of the events specified in this Section 4. For the purpose of
this Section 4, "Common Stock" means shares now or hereafter authorized of any
class of common stock of the Company and any other stock of the Company, however
designated, that has the right to participate in any distribution of the assets
or earnings of the Company without limit as to per share amount (excluding, and
subject to any prior rights of, any class or series of preferred stock).
3
(a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution
in shares of Common Stock or other securities, (ii) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv)
issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock other securities of the
Company, then the Warrant Price in effect at the time of the record date for
such dividend or on the effective date of such subdivision, combination or
reclassification, and/or the number and kind of securities issuable on such
date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder of any Warrant
thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind
of shares of Common Stock (or such other securities other than Common Stock) of
the Company, at the same aggregate Warrant Price, that, if such Warrant had been
exercised immediately prior to such date, the Holder would have owned upon such
exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, distribution,
subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a
distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution
made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation) of cash, evidences of indebtedness or assets, or
subscription rights or warrants, the Warrant Price to be in effect after such
record date shall be determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the current market price per share of Common Stock on such record date,
less the amount of cash so to be distributed (or the fair market value (as
determined in good faith by, and reflected in a formal resolution of, the Board
of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the assets or evidences of
indebtedness so to be distributed, or of such subscription rights or warrants,
applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be
such current market price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be
made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that
such distribution is not so made, the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to
be the Warrant Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not
been fixed.
(c) For the purpose of any computation under any subsection of this
Section 4, the "current market price" per share of Common Stock on any date
shall be the per share price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately
prior to the event requiring an adjustment hereunder and shall be: (i) if the
principal trading market for such securities is a national or regional
securities exchange, the closing price on such exchange on such day; or (ii) if
sales prices for shares of Common Stock are reported by the Nasdaq National
Market System or Small Cap Market System (or a similar system then in use), the
last reported sales price so reported on such day; or (iii) if neither (i) nor
(ii) above are applicable, and if bid and ask prices for shares of Common Stock
are reported in the over-the-counter market by Nasdaq (or, if not so reported,
by the National Quotation Bureau), the average of the high bid and low ask
prices so reported on such day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is no
reported closing price, last reported sales price, or bid and ask prices, as the
case may be, for the day in question, then the current market price shall be
determined as of the latest date prior to such day for which such closing price,
last reported sales price, or bid and ask prices, as the case may be, are
available, unless such securities have not been traded on an exchange or in the
over-the-counter market for 30 or more days immediately prior to the day in
question, in which case the current market price shall be determined in good
faith by, and reflected in a formal resolution of, the Board of Directors of the
Company.
4
(d) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no adjustment
in the Warrant Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Warrant Price; provided, however,
that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (d) are not required to
be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest
cent or the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
(e) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised
shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company
other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so
receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in this Section
4, and the other provisions of this Warrant shall apply on like terms to any
such other shares.
(f) If the Company merges or consolidates into or with another
corporation or entity, or if another corporation or entity merges into or with
the Company (excluding such a merger in which the Company is the surviving or
continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification,
conversion, exchange, or cancellation of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock), or if all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company
are sold or transferred to another corporation, entity, or person, then, as a
condition to such consolidation, merger, or sale (a "Transaction"), this Warrant
shall terminate on the effective date of the Transaction, unless provision is
made in the Transaction for the assumption/continuation of this Warrant,
whereupon lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall
have the right from and after the Transaction to receive, upon exercise of this
Warrant and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the
shares of the Common Stock that would have been issuable if this Warrant had
been exercised immediately before the Transaction, such shares of stock,
securities, or assets as the Holder would have owned immediately after the
Transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately before the
effective date of the Transaction. In the event of a proposed Transaction, the
Company shall give Holder at least 15 days prior written notice of the scheduled
closing date of such Transaction, and Holder shall be permitted to exercise all
or any portion of this Warrant prior to the closing of such Transaction.
5. Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants to Holder, with respect
to the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, registration rights
identical to those that are granted to Purchasers in the Placement (as such
terms are defined in that certain Placement Agency Agreement, dated as of
__________, by and between the Company and Stonegate); it being specifically
agreed and understood that the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant
will be included in any registration statement filed by the Company which
includes shares of Common Stock, or shares of Common Stock underlying any
securities, issued to Purchasers in the Placement.
6. Reservation of Shares.
5
(a) The Company agrees at all times to reserve and hold available out
of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the full exercise of this Warrant. The Company
further covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be
delivered upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon delivery, be fully paid
and nonassessable and, except as set forth in subsection (b) below, free from
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the purchase thereof hereunder.
(b) The Company shall not be obligated or liable for the payment of any
taxes, liens or charges incurred by Holder, or any other party contemplated by
this Warrant, in connection with the issuance or exercise of this Warrant.
Whenever Warrants are to be issued or exercised hereunder, under circumstances
in which the Company believes that any federal, state or local tax withholding
may be imposed, the Company shall have the right to require Holder to promptly
remit to the Company an amount sufficient in cash funds to satisfy the minimum
federal, state and local tax withholding requirements prior to the delivery of
any Warrants or certificates for Common Stock or any proceeds from the exercise
or sale thereof.
7. Notices to Holder. Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Price (or number
of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant)
pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall promptly thereafter cause to be given
to the Holder written notice of such adjustment. Such notice shall include the
Warrant Price (and/or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant) after such adjustment, and shall set forth in
reasonable detail the Company's method of calculation and the facts upon which
such calculations were based. Where appropriate, such notice shall be given in
advance and included as a part of any notice required to be given under the
other provisions of this Section 7.
In the event of (a) any fixing by the Company of a record date with respect
to the holders of any class of securities of the Company for the purpose of
determining which of such holders are entitled to dividends or other
distributions, or any rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any
shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to
receive any other right, (b) any capital reorganization of the Company, or
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company
to, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, any other entity or
person, or (c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution or winding up of the
Company, then and in each such event the Company will give the Holder a written
notice specifying, as the case may be (i) the record date for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution, or right, and stating the amount and character of
such dividend, distribution, or right; or (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation,
merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is to take place and
the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common
Stock (or such capital stock or securities receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such
other stock securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
event. Any such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the earliest
date therein specified.
8. No Rights as a Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company, nor to any
other rights whatsoever except the rights herein set forth.
6
9. Additional Covenants of the Company. For so long as the Common Stock is
listed for trading on any regional or national securities exchange or Nasdaq
(National Market or Small Cap System), the Company shall, upon issuance of any
shares for which this Warrant is exercisable, at its expense, promptly obtain
and maintain the listing of such shares. The Company shall also comply with the
reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act for so long
as and to the extent that such requirements apply to the Company.
The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation 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 observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will
at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon
exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock issuable from time to time upon
exercise of this Warrant, (b) will not increase the par value of any shares of
capital stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable
therefor upon such exercise, and (c) will take all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable stock.
10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Company, the Holder and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.
11. Notices. The Company agrees to maintain a ledger of the ownership of
this Warrant (the "Ledger"). Any notice hereunder shall be given by registered
or certified mail if to the Company, at its principal executive office and, if
to the Holder, to its address shown in the Ledger of the Company; provided,
however, that the Holder may at any time on three (3) days written notice to the
Company designate or substitute another address where notice is to be given.
Notice shall be deemed given and received after a certified or registered
letter, properly addressed with postage prepaid, is deposited in the U.S. mail.
12. Severability. Every provision of this Warrant is intended to be
severable. If any term or provision hereof is illegal or invalid for any reason
whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remainder of this
Warrant.
13. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the
principles of choice of laws thereof.
14. Attorneys' Fees. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any
provision of this Warrant, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys' fees in addition to its costs and expenses and any other
available remedy.
15. Entire Agreement. This Warrant (including the Exhibits attached hereto)
constitutes the entire understanding between the Company and the Holder with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations,
discussions, agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by
its duly authorized officer as of the date first set forth above.

The undersigned hereby irrevocably subscribes for _______ shares (the
"Stock") of the Common Stock of Stonepath Group, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant
to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the attached Warrant (the
"Warrant"), and hereby makes payment of $_______ therefor by [tendering cash,
wire transferring or delivering a certified check or bank cashier's check,
payable to the order of the Company] [surrendering _______ shares of Common
Stock received upon exercise of the Warrant, which shares have a current market
price equal to such payment as required in Section 2 of the Warrant]. The
undersigned requests that a certificate for the Stock be issued in the name of
the undersigned and be delivered to the undersigned at the address stated below.
If the Stock is not all of the shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrant, the

In connection with the issuance of the Stock, I hereby represent to the
Company that I am acquiring the Stock for my own account for investment and not
with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a distribution of the shares
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").
I understand that because the Stock has not been registered under the
Securities Act, I must hold such Stock indefinitely unless the Stock is
subsequently registered and qualified under the Securities Act or is exempt from
such registration and qualification. I shall make no transfer or disposition of
the Stock unless (a) such transfer or disposition can be made without
registration under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from
such registration and such qualification, or (b) a registration statement has
been filed pursuant to the Securities Act and has been declared effective with
respect to such disposition. I agree that each certificate representing the
Stock delivered to me shall bear substantially the same as set forth on the

I agree that each certificate representing the Stock delivered to me shall
bear substantially the same legend as set forth on the front page of the
Warrant.
I further agree that the Company may place stop orders on the certificates
evidencing the Stock with the transfer agent, if any, to the same effect as the
above legend. The legend and stop transfer notice referred to above shall be
removed only upon my furnishing to the Company of an opinion of counsel
(reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that such legend may be
removed.
