NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
  
The accompanying condensed financial statements and footnotes thereto are unaudited.

The Condensed Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Condensed Statements of Operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared by us without audit, and in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly in all material respects our financial position as of June 30, 2011, results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. We have evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-Q with the SEC, and determined there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our unaudited Condensed Financial Statements.

The information contained in this report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS  - Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. (the "Company" or "Ace") began as promotional products company and has since evolved into an Integrated Marketing Solutions Company.

By offering the entire suite of solutions, the need for multiple vendors has been eliminated, and Ace can be a single source provider of Branding, Interactive, Direct Relationship Marketing and Mobile Marketing Solutions.
     
Within the Branding vertical Ace has the ability to create the actual brand, in addition to providing all the branded merchandise.  This has been the core of the Ace business model since its inception.  The current focus within this vertical is to find new and innovative ways to leverage new technology platforms to drive growth beyond traditional channels.

The Direct Relationship Marketing vertical creates 1 to 1 relationship marketing Solutions. Ace’s strategy for delivering successful marketing campaigns utilizes specific databases to personalize messages across a wide array of integrated delivery mechanisms. Ace has expanded its capabilities beyond direct mail to incorporate variable data programming technology into web applications, telephony, email, and print. Ace’s Direct Relationship Marketing solution helps attract new customers and retain exist ones by targeting each identified demographic group through our various tools to get the intended message across with measured results.

The Company's fourth business vertical is the Mobile Marketing vertical. Ace through its subsidiary (Mobiquity Networks), provides, via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, Location-Based Mobile Marketing services.  Several years ago the term “Mobile Marketing” was just a buzz word, last year mobile marketing became a reality, and now companies are eagerly adding “mobile” to their advertising mix.  While addressing this exciting market opportunity, Ace has quickly become one of the US leaders in Location-Based Mobile Marketing.  Utilizing its technology, which many consider the best in the industry, Ace has set up a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Mobile Marketing Network to allow the delivery of content directly to consumers’ mobile device at no cost to them.  This advertising medium is set to become the next component of marketing spends as mobile marketing continues to gain more and more momentum.  The technology allows advertisers to target and deliver rich media content to specific locations and times where it is most relevant. It gives advertisers the ability to reach consumers with their message as they are ready to make their purchasing decision. Ace controls the network remotely, so each location and campaign can be monitored whether they are down the block or across the country.  With its precise statistical reporting as to how many consumers engaged in the campaign, advertisers now have an exciting new and measurable medium to communicate with consumers.  Ace has recently signed an exclusive rights deal with a major mall developer to build this next generation network across the United States.

Business Partners

We have partnered with Blue Bite LLC. (“Blue Bite”), a premier provider of Proximity Marketing hardware and software solutions, and Eye Corp Pty Ltd., (“EyeCorp”) an out-of-home media company which operates the largest mall advertising display network in the United States, to roll-out an expansive network which comprises of retail, dining, transportation, sporting, music, and other high traffic venues.

Agreement  with Simon Property Group, L.P.

In April 2011, we signed an exclusive rights agreement with a Top Mall Developer (the "Simon Property Group") to create a location-based mobile marketing network called Mobiquity Networks . The 50 mall agreement runs through December of 2015 and includes top malls in the Simon Mall portfolio. This new alliance will give advertisers the opportunity to reach millions of mall visitors per month with mobile digital content and offers when they are most receptive to advertising messages.

In connection with Eye Corp., Mobiquity Networks will deliver digital content and offers to shoppers on their mobile devices through Eye Corp’s extensive Mall Advertising Network. Eye Corp and Mobiquity Networks have an exclusive agreement to build a location-based mobile marketing network throughout Eye Corp’s Mall Advertising network. New properties to be added to the Mobiquity Networks portfolio will include iconic malls in the top DMA’s (designated market area) in the US. These prestigious malls further complement Mobiquity Networks’ portfolio of prominent malls including Queens Center Mall in New York City, Northbridge in Chicago, and Santa Monica Place in Los Angeles.

Ace's Location-Based Mobile advertising medium is designed to reach on-the-go shoppers via their mobile devices with free rich media content delivered using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. This advertising medium offers extremely targeted messaging engineered to engage and influence shoppers as they move about the mall environment. Eye Corp, along with Ace Marketing, will jointly create mobile marketing programs for existing clients in conjunction with their already active in mall advertising programs. Mobiquity Networks proximity marketing units will be strategically positioned in shopping malls near entrances, anchor stores, escalators and other high-traffic, and high dwell-time areas. Mobiquity Networks proximity marketing unit placement takes advantage of the opportunity to provide a reminder to consumers and touch them just before making a purchase decision. These units generate high awareness and brand recognition at the right time and place. When combined with the impact of other visual advertising mediums (in mall assets) or as a stand-alone medium, Mobiquity Networks is a great mobile solution to promote a brand on a local or national level.
   
NOTE 2:  ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 3:  SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise.  The Company applies the revenue recognition principles which provides for revenue to be recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has been completed, (iii) the customer accepts and verifies receipt, (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred.

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
NOTE 4:  LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share gives effect to stock options and warrants, which are considered to be dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic loss per common share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain options and warrants that were excluded from the diluted loss per common share calculation was approximately 14,200,000 and 6,000,000 because they are anti-dilutive as a result of a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
  
NOTE 5:  STOCK COMPENSATION

Compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements utilizing the straight line method for the cost of these awards.

The Company's results for the three month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 include employee share-based compensation expense totaling approximately $52,000 and $356,000, respectively. The Company's results for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 include employee share-based compensation expense totaling approximately $177,000 and $497,000, respectively.  Such amounts have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within selling, general and administrative expenses. No income tax benefit has been recognized in the statement of operations for share-based compensation arrangements due to a history of operating losses.

NOTE 6:  STOCK OPTION PLAN

During Fiscal 2005, the Company established, and the stockholders approved, an Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "2005 Plan") for the granting of up to 2,000,000 non-statutory and incentive stock options and stock awards to directors, officers, consultants and key employees of the Company. On June 9, 2005, the Board of Directors amended the Plan to increase the number of stock options and awards to be granted under the
Plan to 4,000,000.  In October 2009, the Company established and the stockholders approved a 2009 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "2009 Plan") for granting up to 4,000,000 non-statutory and incentive stock options and awards to directors, officers, consultants and employees of the Company. (The 2005 Plan and the 2005 Plan are collectively referred to as the "Plans".)

All stock options under the Plans are granted at or above the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee and non-employee stock options vest over varying periods and generally expire either 5 or 10 years from the grant date.

The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair values of these restricted stock awards are equal to the market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, after taking into certain discounts. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our stock and other contributing factors. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees. Previously, such assumptions were determined based on historical data.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.26 and $0.54, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at June 30, 2011 is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company's common stock for the shares that had exercise prices, that were lower than the $0.67 closing price of the Company's common stock on June 30, 2011.

As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards was approximately $150,000. Unamortized compensation cost as of June 30, 2011 is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.5 years.

The Interactive vertical deals with any online marketing & branding initiatives.  Utilizing the Ace Place Platform (a proprietary Content Management System); custom websites are created and total control of the site content is given back to the client.  Through the Ace Place platform, a client simply chooses from one of the many web-design packages and has the ability to change the content on the site without the need for a programmer and the high hourly fees that go along with them. With this power, their websites become dynamic and powerful marketing vehicles instead of just an online static ad.  For relevant clients, Ace can add an E-Commerce component to their website along with Email Marketing services to assist in marketing the site.  As an additional service, each site can be housed on Ace’s servers.

The Direct Relationship Marketing vertical creates 1 to 1 relationship marketing Solutions. Ace’s strategy for delivering successful marketing campaigns utilizes specific databases to personalize messages across a wide array of integrated delivery mechanisms. Ace has expanded its capabilities beyond direct mail to incorporate variable data programming technology into web applications, telephony, email, and print. Ace’s Direct Relationship Marketing solution helps attract new customers and retain exist ones by targeting each identified demographic group through our various tools to get the intended message across with measured results.

The Company's fourth business vertical is the Mobile Marketing vertical. Ace through its subsidiary (Mobiquity Networks), provides, via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, Location-Based Mobile Marketing services.  Several years ago the term “Mobile Marketing” was just a buzz word, last year mobile marketing became a reality, and now companies are eagerly adding “mobile” to their advertising mix.  While addressing this exciting market opportunity, Ace has quickly become one of the US leaders in Location-Based Mobile Marketing.  Utilizing its technology, which many consider the best in the industry, Ace has set up a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Mobile Marketing Network to allow the delivery of content directly to consumers’ mobile device at no cost to them.  This advertising medium is set to become the next component of marketing spends as mobile marketing continues to gain more and more momentum.  The technology allows advertisers to target and deliver rich media content to specific locations and times where it is most relevant. It gives advertisers the ability to reach consumers with their message as they are ready to make their purchasing decision. Ace controls the network remotely, so each location and campaign can be monitored whether they are down the block or across the country.  With its precise statistical reporting as to how many consumers engaged in the campaign, advertisers now have an exciting new and measurable medium to communicate with consumers.  Ace has recently signed an exclusive rights deal with a major mall developer to build this next generation network across the United States.

Business Partners

We have partnered with Blue Bite LLC. (“Blue Bite”), a premier provider of Proximity Marketing hardware and software solutions, and Eye Corp Pty Ltd., (“EyeCorp”) an out-of-home media company which operates the largest mall advertising display network in the United States, to roll-out an expansive network which comprises of retail, dining, transportation, sporting, music, and other high traffic venues.

Agreement  with Simon Property Group, L.P.

In April 2011, we signed an exclusive rights agreement with a Top Mall Developer (the "Simon Property Group") to create a location-based mobile marketing network called Mobiquity Networks . The 50 mall agreement runs through December of 2015 and includes top malls in the Simon Mall portfolio. This new alliance will give advertisers the opportunity to reach millions of mall visitors per month with mobile digital content and offers when they are most receptive to advertising messages.

In connection with Eye Corp., Mobiquity Networks will deliver digital content and offers to shoppers on their mobile devices through Eye Corp’s extensive Mall Advertising Network. Eye Corp and Mobiquity Networks have an exclusive agreement to build a location-based mobile marketing network throughout Eye Corp’s Mall Advertising network.

These prestigious malls further complement Mobiquity Networks’ portfolio of prominent malls including Queens Center Mall in New York City, Northbridge in Chicago, and Santa Monica Place in Los Angeles.

Ace's Location-Based Mobile advertising medium is designed to reach on-the-go shoppers via their mobile devices with free rich media content delivered using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. This advertising medium offers extremely targeted messaging engineered to engage and influence shoppers as they move about the mall environment. Eye Corp, along with Ace Marketing, will jointly create mobile marketing programs for existing clients in conjunction with their already active in mall advertising programs. Mobiquity Networks proximity marketing units will be strategically positioned in shopping malls near entrances, anchor stores, escalators and other high-traffic, and high dwell-time areas. Mobiquity Networks proximity marketing unit placement takes advantage of the opportunity to provide a reminder to consumers and touch them just before making a purchase decision. These units generate high awareness and brand recognition at the right time and place. When combined with the impact of other visual advertising mediums (in mall assets) or as a stand-alone medium, Mobiquity Networks is a great mobile solution to promote a brand on a local or national level.
  
Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION . Revenues are recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise. Revenue is accounted by reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since our company has the risks and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and bears all credit risk. Our company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues, and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. We are required to make judgments based on historical experience and future expectations, as to the realizability of our accounts receivable. We make these assessments based on the following factors: (a) historical experience, (b) customer concentrations, (c) customer credit worthiness, (d) current economic conditions, and (e) changes in customer payment terms.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and other equity-based compensation. Share-based compensation expense is determined based on the grant-date fair value estimated using the Black Scholes method. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

We generated revenues of $986,433 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $1,077,512 in the same three month period ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in revenues of $91,079 in 2011 compared to 2010 was due to lower margins and the downturn in the overall economy.

Cost of revenues was $812,840 or 82.4% of revenues in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $817,419 or 75.9% of revenues in the same three months of 2010. Cost of revenues includes purchases and freight costs associated with the shipping of merchandise to our customers. Increase in cost of revenues of $4,579 in 2011 is related to an increase in purchases due to the rise in costs during the current quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Gross profit was $173,593 in the second quarter of 2011 or 17.6% of net revenues compared to $260,093 in the same three months of 2010 or 24.1% of revenues. Gross profits will vary period-to-period depending upon a number of factors including the mix of items sold, pricing of the items and the volume of product sold. Also, it is our practice to pass freight costs on to our customers. Reimbursement of freight costs which are included in revenues have lower profit margins than sales of our promotional products and has the effect of reducing our overall gross profit margin on sales of products, particularly on smaller orders.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $637,137 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $827,038 in the same three months of 2010. Such costs include payroll and related expenses, commissions, insurance, rents, professional, consulting and public awareness fees.  The decrease in costs relates to a $303,634 decrease in (non-cash) stock based compensation.

Net loss was $(463,544) in the second quarter of 2011 compared to a net loss of $(566,945) for the same three months in 2010. The second quarter net loss for 2011 includes stock based payments (non-cash) of $52,338 as compared to $(355,972) for the comparable period of 2010.  Our 2011 net loss decreased by $103,401 due to reduced operating expenses of $189,901 partially offset by  a decrease in gross profit of $86,500.  No benefit for income taxes is provided for in 2011 and 2010 due to the full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets.

We generated revenues of $1,634,202 in the first six months of 2011 compared to $1,673,894 in the same six month period ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in revenues of $39,692 in 2011 compared to 2010 was due to the higher cost of goods, lower margins and downturn in the overall economy.

Cost of revenues was $1,277,623 or 78.2% of revenues in the first six months of 2011 compared to $1,178,636 or 70.4% of revenues in the same six months of 2010. Cost of revenues includes purchases and freight costs associated with the shipping of merchandise to our customers. Increase in cost of revenues of $98,987 in 2011 is related to an increase in purchases due to the mix of items our customer base has ordered during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Gross profit was $356,579 in the first six months of 2011 or 21.8% of net revenues compared to $495,258 in the same six months of 2010 or 29.6% of revenues. Gross profits will vary period-to-period depending upon a number of factors including the mix of items sold, pricing of the items and the volume of product sold. Also, it is our practice to pass freight costs on to our customers. Reimbursement of freight costs which are included in revenues have lower profit margins than sales of our promotional products and has the effect of reducing our overall gross profit margin on sales of products, particularly on smaller orders.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $1,255,253 in the first six months of 2011 compared to $1,449,771 in the same six months of 2010. Such costs include payroll and related expenses, commissions, insurance, rents, professional, consulting and public awareness fees. The decrease in costs relates to a $320,260 decrease in (non-cash) stock based compensation.

Net loss was $(898,674) in the second quarter of 2011 compared to a net loss of $(954,513) for the same six months in 2010. The first six months net loss for 2011 includes stock based payments (non-cash) of $176,861 as compared to $497,421 for the comparable period of 2010.  Our 2011 net loss decreased by $55,840 due to the decrease in operating expenses of $194,519, partially offset by a decrease in gross profit of $138,679.  No benefit for income taxes is provided for in 2011 and 2010 due to the full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets.
   
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $725,603 at June 30, 2011. Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $969,839. This resulted primarily from a net loss of $899,325, offset by stock based compensation of $176,861 an increase in accounts receivable of $72,014 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $368,346 and an increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $148,110. The Company had an increase in investing activities of $382,389 with the purchase of equipment. Cash flow from financing activities of $1,314,250 resulted from the private placement of the Company's Common Stock and Warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $371,314 at June 30, 2010. Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $554,059. This resulted primarily from a net loss of $954,362, offset by stock based compensation of $497,121, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $71,194 and a decrease of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $50,701. The Company had an increase in investing activities of $113,238 with the purchase of equipment. The company received proceeds of $443,000 from the issuance of the Company’s common stock.

Our Company commenced operations in 1998 and was initially funded by our three founders, each of whom has made demand loans to our Company that have been repaid. Since 1999, we have relied primarily on equity financing from outside investors to supplement our cash flow from operations.

We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to expand our Proximity Marketing Division to finance our accounts receivable and inventories, hire additional sales persons, capital expenditures and possible acquisitions. The primary sources of funding for such requirements will be cash generated from operations, raising additional capital from the sale of equity or other securities and borrowings under debt facilities which currently do not exist. We believe that we can generate sufficient cash flow from these sources to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. In the event we should need additional financing, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to obtain financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all.

Recent Financings

On December 8, 2009, the Company entered into an Introducing Agent Agreement with Legend Securities, Inc., a FINRA registered broker-dealer ("Legend"), to attempt to raise additional financing through the sale of its Common Stock and Warrants. Between December 8, 2009 and March 15, 2010, the Company closed on gross proceeds of $1,025,000 before commissions of $117,000. The planned use of proceeds is to primarily expand the Company's mobile and interactive divisions.  The Company issued pursuant to the terms of the offering an aggregate of 2,050,000 shares of Common Stock at a per share price of $.50 per share and 1,025,000 Class D Warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share to investors in the offering and placement agent warrants (in the form of Class D Warrants) to purchase 307,500 shares.  All securities were issued pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Subsequent to the completion of the second financing, the Company agreed to adjust the terms of the August 2010 transaction and issue to the August 2010 investor Shares and Warrants on the same terms as those sold in November - December 2010. Accordingly, an additional 145,833 Shares and a like number of Warrants were issued to the August 2010 investor, with the exercise price of the Warrants being lowered from $0.60 per Share to $0.30 per Share.  All securities will be issued pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In March 2011, the Company commenced a private placement offering.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, an evaluation was performed on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

OR THE REDEMPTION DATE

Class E Warrants

ACE MARKETING & PROMOTIONS, INC.

This warrant certificate (the “Warrant Certificate”) certifies that _______________or registered assigns, is the registered holder (the “Holder”) of Warrants to purchase, at any time until 5:00 P.M. New York time on the earlier of the Redemption Date of the Class E Warrants (as defined herein) or August 31, 2013  (the “Expiration Date”), up to _________ fully-paid and non-assessable shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 6 hereof (the “Warrant Shares”), of the common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of ACE MARKETING & PROMOTIONS, INC., a New York corporation (the “Company”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.  The warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate and any warrants resulting from a transfer or subdivision of the warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate shall sometimes hereinafter be referred to, individually, as a “Warrant” and, collectively, as the “Warrants.”

This Warrant is one of a series of warrants of like tenor being issued in connection with the Company’s private offering pursuant to a Subscription Agreement (the “ Offering ”) of Units consisting of (i) shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Common Stock” or the “Shares”) and (ii) Class E Common Stock Purchase Warrants, exercisable in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

The term “ Warrant ” as used herein, shall include this Warrant, and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.
  
 
1

 
  
1.     Exercise of Warrants .  This Warrant is initially exercisable to purchase one Warrant Share at an initial exercise price of $.30 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in Article 6 hereof, payable in cash or by check to the order of the Company, or any combination of cash or check.  Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined) for the Warrant Shares purchased, at the Company's principal offices (presently located at 457 Rockaway Avenue, Valley Stream, NY 11587), the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate (the “Holder” or “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased.  The purchase rights represented by this Warrant Certificate are exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares).  In the case of the purchase of less than all the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel this Warrant Certificate upon its surrender and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor for the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder.

This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such securities as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such date and in any event within five (5) business days after such date, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver, to the person or persons entitled to receive them, certificates and/or instruments representing the Warrant Shares as to which the Holder has so exercised this Warrant in the name of the Holder or its designee.
 
The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, when issued, sold and delivered, will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issuance thereof (other than liens or charges created by or imposed upon the recipient of the Warrant Shares).
 
2.     Issuance of Certificates .    Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the issuance of certificates for the Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to such exercise shall be made forthwith  without charge to the Holder thereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Article 3 hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificates in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

The Warrant Certificates and, upon exercise of the Warrants, the certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of those officers required to sign such certificates under applicable law.
   
 
2

 
  
This Warrant Certificate and, upon exercise of the Warrants, in part or in whole, certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following:

The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”), and may not be offered or sold except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act,  (ii) to the extent applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar rule under such Act relating to the disposition of securities), or (iii) upon the delivery by the holder to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the issuer, stating that an exemption from registration under such Act is available.

3.     Restriction on Transfer of Warrants and Warrant Shares .  The Holder of this Warrant Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with the Company that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are being acquired for the Holder's own account as an investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof and that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are not registered under the Act or any state securities or blue sky laws and, therefore, may not be transferred unless such securities are either registered under the Act and any applicable state securities law or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder of this Warrant Certificate acknowledges that the Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act who has been provided with an opportunity to ask questions of representatives of the Company concerning the Company and that all such questions were answered to the satisfaction of the Holder. In connection with any purchase of Warrant Shares the Holder agrees to execute any documents which may be reasonably required by counsel to the Company to comply with the provisions of the Act and applicable state securities laws.

4.     Redemption Rights of Class E Warrants.   [Left blank intentionally.]

5.     Exercise Price

5.1     Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price .  The initial exercise price of each Warrant shall be $.30 per Warrant Share.  The adjusted exercise price shall be the price which shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments of the initial exercise price in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 hereof.

5.2     Exercise Price .  The term “Exercise Price” herein shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending upon the context.
   
 
3

 
   
6.     Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares .

6.1     Dividends and Distributions .  If at any time prior to the Expiration Date,  the Company shall pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall be reduced to a price determined by dividing an amount equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.  For purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1, the Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.  Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6.1, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest full share of Common Stock by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.

6.2     Subdivision and Combination .  If at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock subject to acquisition hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to acquisition upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock subject to acquisition hereunder into a lesser number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock  subject to acquisition upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased.
  
6.3     Reorganization, Merger or Sale of Assets    If, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, there shall be (i) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company’s properties and assets in, or substantially in, their entirety to any other person (other than a subsidiary of Ace), then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor or corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer. If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.   Notwithstanding the above, in the event the sale or merger of the Company is consummated by means of an all cash transaction whereby the Company’s Common Stock will cease to be outstanding, this Warrant must be exercised prior to the close of such transaction or it will be cashed out for the consideration paid to holders of Common Stock in the transaction less the Exercise Price.
  
 
4

 
  
6.4     Notice of Adjustments .  Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then and in each such case the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

6.5            Determination of Outstanding Shares .  The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding shall include the aggregate number of shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights, warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities.

7.     Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificates .  This Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender hereof by the registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Warrant Shares in such denominations as shall be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of such surrender.

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrants, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu thereof.

8.     Elimination of Fractional Interests .   The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock and shall not be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.
  
9.     Reservation of Shares .  The Company covenants and agrees that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized share capital, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be equal to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, for issuance upon such exercise, and that, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any shareholder.
  
 
5

 
  
10.     Notices to Warrant Holders .  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or Holders the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of stockholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.  If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrants and their exercise, any of the following events shall occur:

(a)      the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise then out of current or retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company; or

(b)      the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor;

(c)      a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety shall be proposed; or

(d)           the Company or an affiliate of the Company shall propose to issue any rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company or of such affiliate to all the stockholders of the Company;

then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice of such event at least twenty (20) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, options or warrants, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.  Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be.  Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with the declaration or payment of any such dividend or distribution, or the issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.

11.     Notices .  All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested:

(a)      If to a registered Holder of the Warrants, to the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company; or

6.1     Dividends and Distributions .  If at any time prior to the Expiration Date,  the Company shall pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall be reduced to a price determined by dividing an amount equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.  For purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1, the Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.  Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6.1, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest full share of Common Stock by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.

6.2     Subdivision and Combination .  If at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock subject to acquisition hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to acquisition upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock subject to acquisition hereunder into a lesser number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock  subject to acquisition upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased.

6.3     Reorganization, Merger or Sale of Assets    If, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, there shall be (i) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company’s properties and assets in, or substantially in, their entirety to any other person (other than a subsidiary of Ace), then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor or corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer. If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.   Notwithstanding the above, in the event the sale or merger of the Company is consummated by means of an all cash transaction whereby the Company’s Common Stock will cease to be outstanding, this Warrant must be exercised prior to the close of such transaction or it will be cashed out for the consideration paid to holders of Common Stock in the transaction less the Exercise Price.

6.4     Notice of Adjustments .  Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then and in each such case the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

6.5     Determination of Outstanding Shares .  The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding shall include the aggregate number of shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights, warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities.

7.     Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificates .  This Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender hereof by the registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Warrant Shares in such denominations as shall be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of such surrender.

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrants, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu thereof.

8.     Elimination of Fractional Interests .   The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock and shall not be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.

9.     Reservation of Shares .  The Company covenants and agrees that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized share capital, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be equal to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, for issuance upon such exercise, and that, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any shareholder.

(a)      the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise then out of current or retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company; or

(b)      the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor;

(c)      a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety shall be proposed; or

(d)      the Company or an affiliate of the Company shall propose to issue any rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company or of such affiliate to all the stockholders of the Company;

then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice of such event at least twenty (20) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, options or warrants, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.  Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be.  Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with the declaration or payment of any such dividend or distribution, or the issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.

11.     Notices .  All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested:

EXERCISABLE UNTIL ON OR BEFORE MAY 31, 2014, 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK TIME
 
Class G Warrants

ACE MARKETING & PROMOTIONS, INC.

This warrant certificate (the “Warrant Certificate”) certifies that ______________or registered assigns, is the registered holder (the “Holder”) of Warrants to purchase, at any time until 5:00 P.M. New York time on May 31, 2014 (the “Expiration Date”), up to _________ fully-paid and non-assessable shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 6 hereof (the “Warrant Shares”), of the common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of ACE MARKETING & PROMOTIONS, INC., a New York corporation (the “Company”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.  The warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate and any warrants resulting from a transfer or subdivision of the warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate shall sometimes hereinafter be referred to, individually, as a “Warrant” and, collectively, as the “Warrants.”

During the term of this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to be notified of any registration statement filing on Form S-1 by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register securities for resale. In the event this occurs, the Holder of this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof has the right to piggy-back said shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in the registration statement filed by the Company at no expense to the Holder. Nevertheless, the Holder shall be responsible for the Holder's sales commissions in connection with any sale of his Common Stock and his own professional fees incurred in connection thereof, including, without limitation, legal, accounting and tax advice. The Company is not required to piggy-back shares of Common Stock on a pending S-1 registration statement in the event this Warrant has been exercised in its entirety, where the securities are freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) or where the rules of the SEC would prohibit the registration of the Holder's shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

The term “ Warrant ” as used herein, shall include this Warrant, and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.

1.            Exercise of Warrants .  This Warrant is initially exercisable to purchase one Warrant Share at an initial exercise price of $.60 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in Article 6 hereof, payable in cash or by check to the order of the Company, or any combination of cash or check.  Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined) for the Warrant Shares purchased, at the Company's principal offices (presently located at 457 Rockaway Avenue, Valley Stream, NY 11587), the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate (the “Holder” or “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased.  The purchase rights represented by this Warrant Certificate are exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares).  In the case of the purchase of less than all the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel this Warrant Certificate upon its surrender and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor for the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder.

This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such securities as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such date and in any event within five (5) business days after such date, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver, to the person or persons entitled to receive them, certificates and/or instruments representing the Warrant Shares as to which the Holder has so exercised this Warrant in the name of the Holder or its designee.
 
The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, when issued, sold and delivered, will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issuance thereof (other than liens or charges created by or imposed upon the recipient of the Warrant Shares).
 
2.     Issuance of Certificates .    Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the issuance of certificates for the Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to such exercise shall be made forthwith  without charge to the Holder thereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Article 3 hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificates in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

The Warrant Certificates and, upon exercise of the Warrants, the certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of those officers required to sign such certificates under applicable law.

This Warrant Certificate and, upon exercise of the Warrants, in part or in whole, certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following:

The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”), and may not be offered or sold except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act,  (ii) to the extent applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar rule under such Act relating to the disposition of securities), or (iii) upon the delivery by the holder to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the issuer, stating that an exemption from registration under such Act is available.

3.     Restriction on Transfer of Warrants and Warrant Shares .  The Holder of this Warrant Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with the Company that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are being acquired for the Holder's own account as an investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof and that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are not registered under the Act or any state securities or blue sky laws and, therefore, may not be transferred unless such securities are either registered under the Act and any applicable state securities law or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder of this Warrant Certificate acknowledges that the Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act who has been provided with an opportunity to ask questions of representatives of the Company concerning the Company and that all such questions were answered to the satisfaction of the Holder. In connection with any purchase of Warrant Shares the Holder agrees to execute any documents which may be reasonably required by counsel to the Company to comply with the provisions of the Act and applicable state securities laws.

4.      [Left blank intentionally.]

5.     Exercise Price

5.1     Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price .  The initial exercise price of each Warrant shall be $.60 per Warrant Share.  The adjusted exercise price shall be the price which shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments of the initial exercise price in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 hereof.

5.2     Exercise Price .  The term “Exercise Price” herein shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending upon the context.

6.     Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares .

6.1     Dividends and Distributions .  If at any time prior to the Expiration Date,  the Company shall pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall be reduced to a price determined by dividing an amount equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.  For purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1, the Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.  Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6.1, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest full share of Common Stock by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.

6.2     Subdivision and Combination .  If at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock subject to acquisition hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to acquisition upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock subject to acquisition hereunder into a lesser number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock  subject to acquisition upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased.

6.3     Reorganization, Merger or Sale of Assets    If, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, there shall be (i) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company’s properties and assets in, or substantially in, their entirety to any other person (other than a subsidiary of Ace), then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor or corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer. If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.   Notwithstanding the above, in the event the sale or merger of the Company is consummated by means of an all cash transaction whereby the Company’s Common Stock will cease to be outstanding, this Warrant must be exercised prior to the close of such transaction or it will be cashed out for the consideration paid to holders of Common Stock in the transaction less the Exercise Price.

6.4     Notice of Adjustments .  Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then and in each such case the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

6.5     Determination of Outstanding Shares .  The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding shall include the aggregate number of shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights, warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities.

7.            Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificates .  This Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender hereof by the registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Warrant Shares in such denominations as shall be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of such surrender.

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrants, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu thereof.

8.            Elimination of Fractional Interests .   The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock and shall not be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.

9.            Reservation of Shares .  The Company covenants and agrees that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized share capital, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be equal to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, for issuance upon such exercise, and that, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any shareholder.

THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE THEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT (i) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, (ii) TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT (OR ANY SIMILAR RULE UNDER SUCH ACT RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES), OR (iii) UPON THE DELIVERY BY THE HOLDER TO THE COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, STATING THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS AVAILABLE.


EXERCISABLE UNTIL ON OR BEFORE JULY 31, 2014, 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK TIME

  
Warrant No. __ Class H Warrants
 
 
ACE MARKETING & PROMOTIONS, INC.

This warrant certificate (the “Warrant Certificate”) certifies that ________________ or registered assigns, is the registered holder (the “Holder”) of Warrants to purchase, at any time until 5:00 P.M. New York time or July 31, 2014 (the “Expiration Date”), up to _________ fully-paid and non-assessable shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 6 hereof (the “Warrant Shares”), of the common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of ACE MARKETING & PROMOTIONS, INC., a New York corporation (the “Company”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.  The warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate and any warrants resulting from a transfer or subdivision of the warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate shall sometimes hereinafter be referred to, individually, as a “Warrant” and, collectively, as the “Warrants.”
  
The term “ Warrant ” as used herein, shall include this Warrant, and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.

1.     Exercise of Warrants .  This Warrant is initially exercisable to purchase one Warrant Share at an initial exercise price of $.60 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in Article 6 hereof, payable in cash or by check to the order of the Company, or any combination of cash or check.  Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined) for the Warrant Shares purchased, at the Company's principal offices (presently located at 457 Rockaway Avenue, Valley Stream, NY 11587), the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate (the “Holder” or “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased.  The purchase rights represented by this Warrant Certificate are exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares).  In the case of the purchase of less than all the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel this Warrant Certificate upon its surrender and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor for the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder.
   
 
1

 
   
1A.            Net Issuance .  In addition to exercise of this Warrant as provided in Section 1 above, if, at any time after April 30, 2012, a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares is not then effective or no current prospectus under such Registration Statement is available, the Holder may satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
 
 
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
 
 
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to the cashless exercise.
   
 
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (at the time of such calculation).
   
 
A = the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
   
 
B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

For purposes of this Section 1A, “Closing Prices” for any date, shall mean the closing price per share of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the primary trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.
 
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act (as defined herein), it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued.
 
This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such securities as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such date and in any event within five (5) business days after such date, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver, to the person or persons entitled to receive them, certificates and/or instruments representing the Warrant Shares as to which the Holder has so exercised this Warrant in the name of the Holder or its designee. In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant has not been exercised.
   
 
2

 
   
The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, when issued, sold and delivered, will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issuance thereof (other than liens or charges created by or imposed upon the recipient of the Warrant Shares).
 
2.     Issuance of Certificates .    Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the issuance of certificates for the Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to such exercise shall be made forthwith  without charge to the Holder thereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Article 3 hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificates in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

The Warrant Certificates and, upon exercise of the Warrants, the certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of those officers required to sign such certificates under applicable law.

This Warrant Certificate and, upon exercise of the Warrants, in part or in whole, certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following:

The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”), and may not be offered or sold except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act,  (ii) to the extent applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar rule under such Act relating to the disposition of securities), or (iii) upon the delivery by the holder to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the issuer, stating that an exemption from registration under such Act is available.
      
3.     Restriction on Transfer of Warrants and Warrant Shares .  The Holder of this Warrant Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with the Company that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are being acquired for the Holder's own account as an investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof and that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are not registered under the Act or any state securities or blue sky laws and, therefore, may not be transferred unless such securities are either registered under the Act and any applicable state securities law or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder of this Warrant Certificate acknowledges that the Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act who has been provided with an opportunity to ask questions of representatives of the Company concerning the Company and that all such questions were answered to the satisfaction of the Holder. In connection with any purchase of Warrant Shares the Holder agrees to execute any documents which may be reasonably required by counsel to the Company to comply with the provisions of the Act and applicable state securities laws.

4.      [Left blank intentionally.]

5.     Exercise Price

5.1     Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price .  The initial exercise price of each Warrant shall be $.60 per Warrant Share.  The adjusted exercise price shall be the price which shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments of the initial exercise price in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 hereof.

5.2     Exercise Price .  The term “Exercise Price” herein shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending upon the context.
      
6.     Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares .

6.1     Dividends and Distributions .  If at any time prior to the Expiration Date,  the Company shall pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall be reduced to a price determined by dividing an amount equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.  For purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1, the Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.  Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6.1, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest full share of Common Stock by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.

6.2     Subdivision and Combination .  If at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock subject to acquisition hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to acquisition upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock subject to acquisition hereunder into a lesser number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock  subject to acquisition upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased.
   
 
4

 
   
6.3     Reorganization, Merger or Sale of Assets    If, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, there shall be (i) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company’s properties and assets in, or substantially in, their entirety to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor or corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer. If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.   Notwithstanding the above, in the event the sale or merger of the Company is consummated by means of an all cash transaction whereby the Company’s Common Stock will cease to be outstanding, this Warrant must be exercised prior to the close of such transaction or it will be cashed out for the consideration paid to holders of Common Stock in the transaction less the Exercise Price.

            6.4     Notice of Adjustments .  Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then and in each such case the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
 
6.5     Determination of Outstanding Shares .  The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding shall include the aggregate number of shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights, warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities.
   
 
5

 
  
7.     Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificates .  This Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender hereof by the registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Warrant Shares in such denominations as shall be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of such surrender.

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrants, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu thereof.

8.     Elimination of Fractional Interests .   The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock and shall not be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.

9.     Reservation of Shares .  The Company covenants and agrees that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized share capital, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be equal to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, for issuance upon such exercise, and that, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any shareholder.

10.            Notices to Warrant Holders .  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or Holders the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of stockholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.  If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrants and their exercise, any of the following events shall occur:

(a)           the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise then out of current or retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company; or

(b)           the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor;
  
 
6

 
   
(c)           a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety shall be proposed; or

(d)           the Company or an affiliate of the Company shall propose to issue any rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company or of such affiliate to all the stockholders of the Company;

then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice of such event at least twenty (20) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, options or warrants, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.  Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be.  Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with the declaration or payment of any such dividend or distribution, or the issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.

11.            Notices .                      All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested:

(a)           If to a registered Holder of the Warrants, to the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company; or

(b)           If to the Company, to the address set forth in Article 1 of this Agreement or to such other address as the Company may designate by notice to the Holders.

12.            Successors .   All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company and the Holders inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder.

13.            Governing Law .

13.1     Choice of Law .  This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and delivered in the State of New York and shall be governed as to validity, interpretation, construction, effect and in all other respects by the internal laws of the State of New York.

13.2     Jurisdiction and Service of Process .  The Company and the Holder each (a) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant Certificate shall be instituted exclusively in the Supreme Court of New York, New York, New York, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, New York (b) waives any objection which the Company or such Holder may have now or hereafter based upon forum non conveniens or to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and (c) irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of New York, New York, New York, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, New York in any such suit, action or proceeding.  The Company and the Holder each further agrees (a) to accept and acknowledge service of any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in the Supreme Court of New York, New York, New York, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, New York and (b) agrees that service of process upon the Company or the Holder mailed by certified mail to their respective addresses shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company or the Holder, as the case may be, in any suit, action or proceeding.  FURTHER, BOTH THE COMPANY AND HOLDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE AND IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-CLAIM ASSERTED IN ANY SUCH ACTION.
