Validian Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx (the “Holder”) is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company upon surrender of this Warrant, at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (as defined herein) 650,000 (six hundred and fifty thousand) fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 1(a)) of the Company (the "Warrant Shares") at the purchase price per share provided in Section 1(a) below (the "Exercise Price"); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such proviso is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrants beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any Other Securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible preferred stock, warrants or rights to receive shares of Common Stock) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Holder may waive the foregoing limitations by written notice to the Company upon not less than 61 days prior notice (with such waiver taking effect only upon the expiration of such 61 day notice period).

Eastern Time on the Expiration Date by delivery to the Escrow Agent and the Company in the manner specified below of (i) a written notice of such Holder's election to exercise this Warrant which notice shall be in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, (the “Exercise Notice”), and shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased and the other information set out therein, (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised (the "Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or by check or wire transfer payable to the Company in immediately available funds, and (iii) the surrender of this Warrant.

Such investment banking firm's or accountant's determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) If at any time from the date of issuance of this Warrant there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder at such time, this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = the VWAP, as defined below, on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. to 4:02 p.m. Eastern Time (“Trading Day”) immediately preceding the date of such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

(c)

(d)
The Company will not, by amendment of its charter 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 to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) 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 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such Holder to purchase any securities or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will provide the Holder of this Warrant with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
Section 6.
Representations of Holder. The Holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution hereof or of any of the shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon the exercise thereof, and not with any present intention of distributing any of the same. The Holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such Holder is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an "Accredited Investor"). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act and that such Holder is an Accredited Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by making the representations herein, the Holder does not agree to hold the Warrant or the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specified term and reserves the right to dispose of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. If such Holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to such Holder's exercise of the Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of the Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.

The Company may treat the Person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
(b)
The Holder of this Warrant understands that this Warrant has not been and is not expected to be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (a) subsequently registered thereunder, or (b) such Holder shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, to the effect that the securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; provided that (i) any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder; and (ii) except as provided below, neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Common Stock Warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder except as may be expressly set out herein.
(c) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.

(d) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.

Section 8.
Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment of Exercise Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased.
(b) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another Person (as defined in Section 1(a)) or other transaction which is effected in such a way that Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock,
Warrant No. 1 – Series J
-8-
securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as "Organic Change." Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company will make appropriate provision to ensure that each of the Holders of the Common Stock Warrants will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such Holder's Common Stock Warrants, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable in the Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such Holder's Common Stock Warrants had such Organic Change not taken place (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on exercise). In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision with respect to such Holders' rights and interests to insure that the provisions of this Section 8 will thereafter be applicable to the Common Stock Warrants (including, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment of the Exercise Price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Common Stock Warrants, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). The terms of any documents evidencing an Organic Change shall include such terms as to give effect to the tenor of this provision and evidencing the obligation to deliver to each Holder of Common Stock Warrants such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to acquire.
(c) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to the Company’s stockholders as a partial liquidating dividend, by way or return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Company's stockholders of cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, after the record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets (or rights) which would have been payable to the Holder had such Holder been the Holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to such Distribution.
(d)
Notices.
(i)
Immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the Holder of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.
(ii)
The Company will give written notice to the Holder of this Warrant prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common

The Company will also give written notice to the Holder of this Warrant prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place and in no event shall such notice be provided to such Holder prior to such information being made known to the public.
