no other existing contract or duty on Consultant's part
inconsistent with this Agreement, unless a copy of such contract

-----------
or bring onto Company's premises, or induce Company to use any

represents that any Work Product relating to Company's business
or any Project which Consultant has made, conceived or reduced to
practice at the time of signing this Agreement ("Prior Work
Product") has been disclosed in writing to Company and attached
to this Agreement as Exhibit C. If disclosure of any such Prior
----------
Work Product would cause Consultant to violate any prior
confidentiality agreement, Consultant understands that it is not
to list such Prior Work Product in Exhibit C but it will disclose
---------
a cursory name for each such invention, a listing of the
party(ies) to whom it belongs, and the fact that full disclosure
as to such Prior Work Product has not been made for that reason.
A space is provided in Exhibit C for such purpose.

interest worldwide in and to the Company Work Product and all
applicable intellectual property rights related to the Company
Work Product, including without limitation, copyrights,

licensing rights (the "Proprietary Rights"). Consultant retains
no rights to use the Company Work Product and agrees not to
challenge the validity of Company's ownership in the Company Work
Product.
3.7. Waiver or Assignment of Other Rights.

If Consultant has any rights to the Company Work Product
that cannot be assigned to Company, Consultant unconditionally
and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such rights, and all
claims and causes of action of any kind against Company with
respect to such rights, and agrees, at Company's request and
expense, to consent to and join in any action to enforce such
rights. If Consultant has any right to the Company Work Product
that cannot be assigned to Company or waived by Consultant,
Consultant unconditionally and irrevocably grants to Company
during the term of such rights, an exclusive, irrevocable,
perpetual, worldwide, fully paid and royalty-free license, with
rights to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees, to

perform and publicly display by all means now known or later
developed, such rights.

all countries. To that end Consultant will execute, verify and
deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including

use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing,
sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the
assignment thereof. In addition, Consultant will execute, verify
and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to Company or
its designee. Consultant's obligation to assist Company with
respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Company Work
Product in any and all countries shall continue beyond the
termination of this Agreement, but Company shall compensate
Consultant at a reasonable rate after such termination for the
time actually spent by Consultant at Company's request on such
assistance.

agreement, the Company will deliver to you a Warrant
(the "Warrant") in the form of Exhibit A hereto, to
---------
purchase up to One Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000)
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.001
per share (the "Common Stock"), at a purchase price of
Twenty-Five Cents ($0.25) per share, exercisable for a
period of up to Thirty-Six (36) months commencing on the
date hereof and pursuant to the following vesting
schedule: (i) Twelve Thousand Five Hundred (12,500)
shares shall vest immediately; and (ii) One Hundred
Thirty Seven Thousand Five Hundred (137,500) shares
shall vest in Eleven (11) equal monthly installments of

commencing on the 15th day of each month following the
month of execution of this Agreement.
2. The Company covenants that all shares that may be issued
upon the exercise of the Warrant will, upon issuance, be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free
from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issuance thereof. The Company further covenants that
during the period within which the Warrant may be
exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized
and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to permit the exercise of the Warrant.
3. The provision of this Section 3 shall be binding upon
any transferee of the Warrant and upon each holder of
shares of Common Stock or other Company securities
issued upon exercise of the Warrant (the "Shares")
until such Shares shall have been sold to the public
pursuant to either an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") or an exemption from registration
established to the satisfaction of the Company. You
and each transferee will cause any proposed transferee
of the Shares to agree to take and hold the Shares
subject to the provisions of this Section 3. As used

shares of the Company's Common Stock or other
securities issued in respect of the Shares pursuant to
any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or

Warrant. Prior to any proposed transfer of the Warrant
or of the Shares, the holder thereof shall give written
notice to the Company stating such holder's intention
to effect such transfer and describing the
circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient
detail, accompanied by either (i) an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect
that the proposed transfer may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) a "no
action" letter from the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission to the effect that the staff will
not recommend that enforcement action be taken if the
proposed transfer is effected without registration.
Subject to evidence of compliance with any applicable
state securities or "blue sky" law or laws, the Company
shall promptly notify the holder in writing that such
holder may proceed with its transfer as described, and,
if the transfer is of Shares, shall instruct its
transfer agent to remove any stop-transfer restrictions
against the Shares when transferred as proposed.
If the foregoing correctly sets forth our understanding,
please sign below.
Very truly yours,

subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant, to
purchase from Third-Order Nanotechnologies, Inc., a Nevada

Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, One Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000)
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share
(the "Common Stock"), at a purchase price of Twenty-Five Cents
($0.25) per share, exercisable for a period of up to Thirty-Six
(36) months commencing on the date hereof, subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 5 below. This Warrant is issued pursuant
to a Warrant Purchase Agreement between Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxxxx and
the Company, dated April 17, 2007, and is subject to all the
terms thereof, including the vesting schedules set forth in
Section 1 thereof, and the limitations on transferability set
forth in Section 3 thereof.
1. This Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in
whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share), by the
presentation and surrender of this Warrant with the form of
Election to Purchase duly executed, at the principal office of
the Company (or at such other address as the Company may
designate by notice in writing to the holder hereof at the
address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company),
and upon payment to the Company of the purchase price by
certified or bank cashier's check. The shares of Common Stock
so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as
the record owner of such shares of Common Stock as of the close
of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been
surrendered and payment made for such shares. Certificates for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered or
mailed to the holder promptly after this Warrant has been
exercised, and if applicable, a new Warrant identical in form
representing the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to
which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also
be issued to the holder hereof.
2. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to confer
upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company.
3. The Company shall not issue certificates representing
fractions of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant, but shall make a cash payment for any fractional share
based on the market price of the Common Stock on the date of
exercise, which shall be the closing sale price on the principal
exchange on which the Common Stock is traded; or if not traded on
any exchange, then the representative closing bid price in the
over-the-counter market; or if not traded in the over-the-counter
market, the fair market value as determined by the Company's
board of directors. All calculations under this Section 3 and
under Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or shares, as
the case may be.
4. Subject to the limitations on transfer set forth in
Section 3 of the Warrant Purchase Agreement, this Warrant is
exchangeable, upon its surrender by the holder at the office of
the Company referred to in Section 1 above, for new warrants
(containing the same terms as this Warrant) each representing the
right to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as shall
be designated by such holder at the time of such surrender (but
not exceeding in the aggregate the remaining number of shares of
Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder). Upon receipt of
evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and upon delivery of a
bond of indemnity satisfactory to the Company (or, in the case of
mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant), the Company will
issue to the holder a replacement warrant (containing the same
terms as this Warrant). As used herein, "Warrant" shall include
all new warrants issued in exchange for or replacement of this
Warrant.
5. If the Company shall pay a dividend in shares of its
Common Shares, subdivide (forward-split) its outstanding shares
of Common Stock, combine (reverse-split) its outstanding shares
of Common Stock, issue by reclassification of its shares of
Common Stock any shares or other securities of the Company, or
distribute to holders of its Common Stock any securities of the
Company or of another entity, the number of shares of Common
Stock or other securities the holder hereof is entitled to
purchase pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall
be adjusted so that the holder shall be entitled to receive upon
exercise the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities
which he or she would have owned or would have been entitled to
receive after the happening of any of the events described above
had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the
happening of such event, and the exercise price per share shall
be correspondingly adjusted; provided, however, that no
adjustment in the number of shares and/or the exercise price
shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in such number
and/or price; and provided further, however, that any adjustments
which by reason of this Section 5 are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 shall
become effective immediately after the record date in the case of
the stock dividend or other distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or reclassification. The holder of this
Warrant shall be entitled to participate in any subscription or
other rights offering made to holders of Common Stock had he
purchased the full number of shares as to which this Warrant
remains unexercised immediately prior to the record date for such
rights offering. If the Company is consolidated or merged with
or into another corporation or if all or substantially all of its
assets are conveyed to another corporation this Warrant shall
thereafter be exercisable for the purchase of the kind and number
of shares of stock or other securities or property, if any,
receivable upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
which could have been purchased on the exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or conveyance;
and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined by
the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the
provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and
interests thereafter of the holder of this Warrant to the end
that the provisions set forth herein (including provisions with
respect to changes in and other adjustments of the number of
shares of Common Stock the holder of this Warrant is entitled to
purchase) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible,
in relation to any shares of Common Stock or other securities or
other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant. Upon any adjustment of the number of shares of Common
Stock or other securities the holder of this Warrant is entitled
to purchase, and of any change in exercise price per share, then
in each such case the Company shall give written notice thereof
to the then registered holder of this Warrant at the address of
such holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice
shall state such change and set forth in reasonable detail the
method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation
is based.
6. If at any time:
A. The Company shall declare a dividend or other distribution
on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash at the
same rate as the immediately preceding regular dividend
or in Common Stock;
B. The Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of
its Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights;
