Warrant (the “Warrant
Exercise Price”),
EIGHT
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND (850,000)
shares
of common stock, no par value (the “Common
Stock”).
The
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise, and as adjusted from
time
to time, are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Warrant
Shares.”

This
Warrant is being issued pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors
of
the Company dated July 4, 2006. The following capitalized terms shall have
the
meanings set forth below:
“Convertible
Securities”
shall
mean evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities, which

convertible into or exchangeable, with or without payment of additional
consideration in cash and/or property, for shares of Common Stock, either
immediately or upon the occurrence of a specified date or a specified
event.

addition thereto or in substitution for the Warrant Shares.
“Placement”
means
the private placement by the Company of Units consisting of shares of the
Company’s Common Stock and Warrants, including this Warrant.
“Securities

promulgated thereunder.
2. EXERCISE
OF WARRANT.
This
Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to time
from the date hereof until the end of the Exercise Period by presentation and
surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office, or at the
office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Purchase Form annexed
hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of the Warrant Exercise Price
for the number of shares of Common Stock specified in such form. If this Warrant
should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this
Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of the Holder to purchase the balance of the shares of Common Stock
purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its
office, or by the stock transfer agent of the Company at its office, in proper
form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of
the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the
stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then actually be delivered
to
the Holder. As soon as practicable after each exercise of this Warrant, in
whole
or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at
its
expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause
to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof or, subject
to
Section 10 hereof, as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or certificates (with appropriate
restrictive legends, as applicable) for the number of duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock to which the Holder
shall be entitled upon exercise. All issuances of Common Stock pursuant to
the
exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded (up or down as the case may be) to
the
nearest whole share.
3. RESERVATION
OF SHARES/FRACTIONAL SHARES; CERTAIN COVENANTS WITH REGARD TO AUTHORIZED
SHARES.
(a) The
Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance
and/or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common
Stock as shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this
Warrant (the “Warrant
Shares”).
No
fractional shares or script representing fractional shares shall be issued
upon
the exercise of this Warrant. Instead, the Company will round up to the nearest
whole share. Such shares of Common Stock shall, upon exercise of this Warrant,
be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof.
(b) The
Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute
full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such
Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the principal market
upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
(c) The
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its
certificate 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may
be
necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder against impairment.
(d) Upon
the
request of the Holder, the Company will at any time during the period this
Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably satisfactory
to Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the
Company hereunder.
2
4. EXCHANGE,
TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT.
(a) Subject
to the proviso contained in Section 4(b) hereof, this Warrant is exchangeable,
without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender
of
this Warrant to the Company for other Warrants of different denominations
entitling the Holder to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares
of
Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
(b) Upon
surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer
agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds
sufficient to pay any applicable transfer tax, the Company shall, without
charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named
in
such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled;
provided,
however,
that all
or any portion of this Warrant may only be assigned or transferred to an
officer, employee or corporate affiliate of Octant Holdings Limited.
(c) This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants which carry the same
rights upon presentation of this Warrant at the office of the Company or at
the
office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued
and signed by the Holder hereof. The term “Warrant” as used herein includes any
Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or for which it may be
exchanged.
(d) Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, (and, in the case of loss, theft
or
destruction, of reasonably satisfactory indemnification), and upon surrender
and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant
of like tenor. Any such new Warrant executed and delivered shall constitute
an
additional contractual obligation on the part of the Company, whether or not
this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone. The Company shall maintain, at its offices, books for
the
registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrant.
5. RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE HOLDER.
The
Holder shall not, by virtue of this Warrant, be entitled to any rights of a
stockholder of the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the
Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable
against the Company except to the extent set forth herein. In addition,
no
provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase
shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges
of
the Holder hereof shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the
purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether
such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
6. ADJUSTMENT
PROVISIONS.
The
number and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant, shall
be subject to adjustment as follows. The Company shall give each Holder notice
of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 6 as soon as is reasonably practicable following such
event:
(a) Reorganization,
Consolidation, Merger, etc.
In case
at any time or from time to time, the Company shall: (i) effect a
reorganization, (ii) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (iii)
transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other
person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the
Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such
a
transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby
the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if
such
Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject
to
further adjustment thereafter as provided herein.
3
(b) Dissolution.
In the
event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or
substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with
any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall, upon exercise
of
this Warrant (if any), at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the Holder of this Warrant, or, if the Holder shall
so
instruct the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and
having its principal office in New York, N.Y., as trustee for the Holder of
this
Warrant (the “Trustee”).
(c) Continuation
of Terms.
Upon
any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution
following any transfer) referred to in this Section 6, this Warrant shall
continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable
to
the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise
of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation
or
merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as
the
case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other
securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring
all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether
or
not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant. In
the
event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the
consummation of the transactions described in this Section 6, then, upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company’s securities and property (including cash,
where applicable) receivable by the Holder of this Warrant will be delivered
to
the Holder or the Trustee as contemplated by Section 6(b).
(d) Extraordinary
Events Regarding Common Stock.
In the
event that the Company shall: (i) issue additional shares of the Common Stock
as
a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock or any preferred
stock issued by the Company, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of the Common Stock (each of the preceding clauses
(i)
through (iii), inclusive, an “Event”),
then,
on the occurrence of each such Event, the number of shares of Common Stock
that
the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, on the exercise of this
Warrant shall be increased or decreased to a number determined by multiplying
the number of shares of Common Stock that would, immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Event, be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant by
a
fraction of which: (A) the numerator is the number of issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock immediately after the occurrence of such Event, and
(B)
the denominator is the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event.
(e) No
Impairment.
The
Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws,
or
through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
avoid
the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will
at
all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in
the
taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect
the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, while this Warrant is
outstanding, the Company: (1) will not permit the par value, if any, of the
shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to be above
the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, and (ii) will take all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue or sell fully paid and non-assessable shares of capital stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant.
