FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer” or the “Company”), hereby certifies that [____________________] or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to [__________________________] ([_______]) shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 8 hereof.
1. Term. The term of this Warrant shall commence on April 13, 2011 and shall expire at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 12, 2014 (such period being the “Term”).
2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part during the Term.
1
(b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Issuer as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Issuers) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto (“Notice of Exercise Form”); and, within three (3) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise Form is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such Holder’s election (i) by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by “cashless exercise” in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 2, but only when a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock and the Common Stock underlying the preferred stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is not then in effect as required under the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant, or an indemnification reasonably acceptable to the Issuer undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise Form is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 2(b)(ii) hereof, provided, that the Company does not have an effective registration statement registering the Warrant Stock and the Original Issue Date was longer than twelve (12) months prior, if the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise (“Cashless Exercise”) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise, in which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
2
X = Y - (A)(Y)
B
Where
|
X =
|
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
|
|
Y =
|
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.
|
|
A =
|
the Warrant Price.
|
B = the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock.
If at any time after the effective date of the registration statement, there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the Warrant, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by Cashless Exercise; provided, however, that the Holder may not exercise this Warrant by Cashless Exercise if at any time the registration statement is not effective for any of the reasons set forth in Section 3(n) of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
(d) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered as specified in the Holder’s exercise form within a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”). Or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect or that the shares of Warrant Stock are otherwise exempt from registration), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) within a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise, provided that the Company has received approval and is eligible for electronic transfers via DWAC. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with sale in reliance upon an effective Registration Statement or other exemption from registration by which the shares may be issued without a restrictive legend and the Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system.
(e) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the second business day following the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Issuer shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of shares of Warrant Stock for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Issuer timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Issuer. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
3
(f) Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer or its designated agent, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.
(g) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Issuer shall, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.
(h) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
4
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above, if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer and demonstrating that the following conditions are satisfied. Such proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, or (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become and remains effective under the Securities Act, or (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer shall respond to any such notice from a holder within three (3) Trading Days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(h), the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Issuer. Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to the Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement), provided that the Company is eligible to transfer securities electronically via DWAC.
5
(i) Accredited Investor Status. At the time of the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder (1) shall be an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, or (2) shall exercise this Warrant by means of a Cashless Exercise as provided for in Section 2(c), subject to any applicable restrictions.
3. Approval Required for New Issuance. Unless otherwise approved by a majority of the holders of the Warrants at the time of any new issuance, for a period of two years following the Date of Issuance, the Company shall not issue any securities at a price below the Conversion Price (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations), as compensation or otherwise, except for the Exempt Issuances (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations).
4. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Preemptive Rights. The Holder shall not be entitled to rights to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any new or additional shares of any class, whether now or hereinafter authorized, or of bonds or debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class, but all such new or additional shares of any class, or any bond, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares, may be issued and disposed of by the Board on such terms and for such consideration (to the extent permitted by law), and to such person or persons as the Board in its absolute discretion may deem advisable.
(b) Issue Taxes. The Issuer shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion.
(c) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Holder shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the nearest whole number of shares.
(d) Reservation of Common Stock. The Issuer shall, during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant.
(e) Retirement of this Warrant. Exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected on the date of exercise hereof. Upon exercise of this Warrant only in part, the Issuer shall issue and deliver to the Holder, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Warrant covering the unexercised balance of the Warrant Shares.
6
(f) Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of exercise of this Warrant require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Issuer shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
5. Exercise Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may the Holder exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would cause the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates at such time, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates at such time, result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon the Holder providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 12 hereof) (the “Waiver Notice”) that the Holder would like to waive Section 5 of this Warrant with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, this Section 5 shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares referenced in the Waiver Notice.

7. Call. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer, at its option, may call up to one hundred percent (100%) of this Warrant by providing the Holder written notice pursuant to Section 12 (the “Call Notice”) if the closing price of the Common Stock shall be equal to or greater than $3.75, subject to adjustment, for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days; provided, that (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act as required under the Registration Rights Agreement is then in effect, (ii) trading in the Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the OTC Bulletin Board or a registered national stock exchange where the Common Stock is traded, and (iii) the Issuer is in material compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); provided, further, that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is in effect from the date of delivery of the Call Notice until the date which is the later of (A) the date the Holder exercises the Warrant pursuant to the Call Notice and (B) the tenth (10th) Trading Day after the Holder receives the Call Notice (the “Early Termination Date”). The rights and privileges granted pursuant to this Warrant with respect to the shares of Warrant Stock subject to the Call Notice (the “Called Warrant Shares”) shall expire on the Early Termination Date if this Warrant is not exercised with respect to such Called Warrant Shares prior to such Early Termination Date.

18. Modification and Severability. If, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce any provision contained herein, any provision hereof is found to be unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency.
