Item 3.02.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities


On September 10, 2007, Chase Packaging Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the completion of a private placement on September 7, 2007, pursuant to which 13,334 units (the “Units”) were sold at a per Unit cash purchase price of $150, for a total subscribed amount of $2,000,100. Each Unit consists of: (1) one share of Series A 10% convertible preferred stock, par value $1.00, stated value $100 (the “Preferred Stock”); (2) 500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 (the “Common Stock”); and (3) 500 warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable into the Company’s Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. A copy of the Company’s press release and a form of the Securities Purchase and Subscription Agreement are being filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Each Warrant contained in a Unit has a term of five years during which such Warrant may be exercised, at $0.15 per share, into one share of the Company’s Common Stock. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment to reflect recapitalizations, stock dividends, mergers, stock splits, and similar events that would otherwise dilute the relative number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants may be exercised. A form of the Warrant Agreement and Certificate is being filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K

Each share of Preferred Stock contained in a Unit has a stated value of $100 and is convertible at any time into Common Stock at a rate of $0.10 per share. The conversion price of the Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment to reflect recapitalizations, stock dividends, mergers, stock splits, and similar events that would otherwise dilute the relative number of shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock may be converted.

There are 4,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock currently authorized for issuance. At the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company may pay to the holders of the Preferred Stock a semi-annual dividend of ten percent payable in cash or in kind (i.e., in additional shares of Preferred Stock) or any combination thereof. The holder of each share of Preferred Stock will have one vote for each underlying share of Common Stock as if such Preferred Stock had been converted (i.e., 1,000 votes per share of Preferred Stock). At any time prior to conversion, the Company’s Board of Directors may redeem any portion or all of the Preferred Stock at a price of $100 per share of Preferred Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock will have a liquidation value of $100 per share. At any time after August 2, 2011, the holders of 66 2/3% or more of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding may request the liquidation of their Preferred Stock. In the event that, at the time of such requested liquidation, the Company’s cash funds (in excess of a $50,000 reserve fund) then available to effect such liquidation are inadequate for such purpose, the requested liquidation shall take place (on a pro-rata basis) only to the extent such excess cash funds are available for such purpose. In the event of a merger transaction approved by the holders of the Company’s Common Stock, the holders of the Preferred Stock will have the right to a cash payment of $100 per share in connection with such merger, or the Preferred Stock will be automatically converted at the then applicable conversion rate. A copy of the Statement of Resolution Establishing Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock is being filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
 
No investment banking fees were incurred in connection with this offering transaction.



The offering and sale of the Company’s securities to “Accredited Investors” carried out as part of such private placement transaction are exempt from registration under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933.

(e)   Issuance of the Securities .  The Securities (including the Underlying Shares) are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or similar rights of stockholders. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock currently issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants.

(f)   Capitalization .  Of the Company’s total authorized Common Stock of 25,000,000 shares, 8,627,275 shares are currently issued and outstanding.

(m)   Private Placement .  Neither the Company nor any Person acting on the Company’s behalf has sold or offered to sell or solicited any offer to buy the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor any Person acting on the Company’s behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past six months, made any offer or sale of any security or solicitation of any offer to buy any security under circumstances that would: (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby; or (ii) cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable law, regulation, or stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.

(q)   Disclosure .  The Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might constitute material, nonpublic information (other than the existence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which shall be disclosed in the press release issued pursuant to Section 4.1). The Company understands and confirms that each of the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the best of Company’s knowledge, all disclosure materials provided to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Company are true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or its financial condition, which, under applicable law, rule, or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed. The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2; or (ii) any statement, commitment, or promise to the Company or, to its knowledge, any of its representatives which is or was an inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement or otherwise.

(r)   Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities .  The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

(s)   Transactions With Affiliates and Employees .  Except as explained in paragraph (f) above, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement, or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director, or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, or partner.

(t)   Financial Statement .  Attached hereto as Schedule 3.1(t) is an (unaudited) balance sheet showing a negative net worth of $68,729 and negative working capital of $6,229. The Company has experienced losses for the last five years.

(u)   Sarbanes-Oxley Act .  The Company is in compliance with applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder in effect as of the date of this Agreement, except where such noncompliance could not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company. In the event of the Company’s involvement in an acquisition transaction structured as a reverse triangular merger, the Company (or the surviving entity in the transaction) could be faced with significant additional expenses in order to meet the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.


3.2   Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers .  To induce the Company to sell the Securities to the Purchasers, with the intent that such representations and warranties: (a) be relied upon by the Company in determining each Purchaser’s suitability as a purchaser of the Shares; and (b) shall survive the purchase of the Securities, each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a)   The undersigned Purchaser hereby adopts, accepts, and agrees, provided this Agreement is accepted by the Company, to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, and to perform all obligations and duties therein imposed upon an investor.

(b)   The undersigned Purchaser has adequate means of providing for the undersigned’s current needs and possible personal contingencies and has no need now, and anticipates no need in the foreseeable future, to sell the Securities for which the undersigned hereby subscribes. The undersigned has carefully evaluated the financial resources and investment position of the undersigned and the risks associated with an investment in the Company and is able to bear the economic risks of this investment and consequently, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned is able to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of the entire investment of the undersigned in the Company in the event such loss should occur.

(c)   The undersigned Purchaser, either alone or with the personal representative(s) of the undersigned, is sophisticated and has such knowledge and experience in financial, business, and investment matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company. In addition, the undersigned represents and warrants that, on the basis of the business and financial experience of the undersigned, the undersigned has acquired the capacity to protect the undersigned’s own interest in investments of this nature . The undersigned recognizes that the investment of the undersigned in the Company involves a high degree of risk. The undersigned further understands that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and is not suitable for investors who cannot afford to lose all of their investment. The undersigned is familiar with the nature of, and risks attendant to, investments in securities of the type being subscribed for hereby and has determined that the purchase of such securities is consistent with the investment objectives of the undersigned.
9

(d)   The undersigned Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for the undersigned’s own account for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities except in compliance with applicable Securities Laws.

(e)   The undersigned Purchaser has not offered or sold any portion of the Securities and has no present intention of dividing the Securities with others or of selling, distributing, or otherwise disposing of any portion of the Securities either currently or after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance except in compliance with applicable Securities laws.

(f)   The undersigned Purchaser is aware that the undersigned must bear the economic risk of this investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time because the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, or under the Securities laws of any states and, therefore, such Securities cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state Securities laws or an exemption from registration is available. Further, the undersigned understands that only the Company can take action so as to register the Securities on behalf of the Company, and except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has no other obligations to do so. The undersigned understands that neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor the Securities Administrator of any state has made any finding or determination relating to the fairness or desirability of an investment in the Company and that the Securities have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission or by any other federal or state agency, and no such agency has passed on the accuracy or adequacy of this Agreement or the Private Placement Memorandum.

(g)   The undersigned Purchaser understands and agrees that the undersigned cannot sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any of the Securities pursuant to a resale registration statement unless, prior to consummation of such transaction, the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Securities will not be transferred on the books of the Company unless the certificate or certificates evidencing such Securities, when submitted to the transfer agent, is accompanied by a separate certificate executed by an officer of, or other person duly authorized by, the undersigned to the effect that the Securities have been sold in accordance with the resale registration statement, and the undersigned has delivered a current prospectus in accordance with applicable Securities laws.
10

(h)   The undersigned Purchaser understands and agrees that the undersigned cannot sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any of the Securities received pursuant to this Agreement in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in accordance with applicable State Securities Laws unless, prior to consummation of such transaction, the undersigned delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that the transaction contemplated by the undersigned would not violate the Securities Act or any applicable State Securities Laws. In addition, the undersigned acknowledges that there can be no assurance that the undersigned will be able to sell or dispose of the Securities at any point in the future.

ARTICLE IV
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1   Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity .  The Company shall, on or before 8:30 a.m., New York City time on the first Business Day following the Closing Date, issue a Press Release acceptable to the Purchasers disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. Prior to the second Business Day after the Closing Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission (the “ 8-K Filing ”)   describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K this Agreement and the form of the Securities in the manner required by the Exchange Act. Thereafter, the Company shall timely file any filings and notices required by the Commission or applicable law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and provide copies thereof to the Purchasers promptly after filing.

4.2   Use of Proceeds .  The Company will utilize the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company’s Directors plan to actively seek interested merger partners to allow the utilization of the Company’s public company status. Although Sarbanes-Oxley provisions have made public ownership less desirable and more expensive, there appears to be a significant group of domestic and foreign companies that would like to merge their business with a US traded shell. No assurance can be given that the Directors will be successful in their endeavors to merge with an independent company on terms favorable to all shareholders. If a minimum of $1,000,000 gross proceeds from the sale of the Units have not been received by 5:00 p.m. on September 15, 2007, no Units will be issued and all proceeds of this offering will be returned to the Purchasers without interest.

4.3   Acknowledgment of Dilution .  The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities (including the Underlying Shares) will result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution will be substantial (see Schedule 3.1(f) ). The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation its obligation to issue the Securities (including the Underlying Shares) pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay, or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim that the Company may have against any Purchaser. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood and agreed by the Company: (i) that none of the Purchasers have been asked to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term; (ii) that future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, including short sales, and specifically including, without limitation, short sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly traded securities; (iii) that any Purchaser, and counter parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock; and (iv) that each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter party in any “derivative” transaction.
13

ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS

15

6.3   Amendments; Waivers .  No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers holding a majority of the Securities or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition, or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition, or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

6.4   Construction .  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

6.5   Successors and Assigns .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchasers. Any Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Purchasers.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Securities may be assigned to any Person in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by such Securities.

6.6   No Third-Party Beneficiaries .  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

6.7   Governing Law; Venue; Waiver Of Jury Trial .   ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT, AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE COMPANY AND PURCHASERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY PURCHASER HEREUNDER, IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY PURCHASER, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF.

16

6.8   Survival .  The representations, warranties, agreements, and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery and/or exercise of the Securities, as applicable.

6.9   Execution .  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

6.10   Severability .  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

6.11   Replacement of Securities .  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft, or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

6.12   Remedies .  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

6.13   Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights .  The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements, or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements, or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. The Company hereby confirms that it understands that the Purchasers are not acting as a “group” as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making his, her, or its investment hereunder and that no other Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring his, her, or its investment hereunder. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce his, her, or its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents.

Fair Haven, New Jersey - September 10, 2007 - Chase Packaging Corporation, which trades over-the-counter under the symbol “CPKA,” today announced the completion of a Private Placement of 13,334 investment units at a per unit purchase price of $150, for a total subscribed amount of $2,000,100. Each investment unit consists of: (1) one share of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, stated value $100 per share; (2) 500 shares of the Company’s $0.10 par value Common Stock; and (3) 500 Warrants, each of which is exercisable into one share of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.15 per share.

The Company ceased its prior packaging business operations as of December 31, 1997, and since that time the Company has maintained its publicly-held status, but does not conduct any substantive business.

The net proceeds from the recently completed private placement will initially be invested in short term U.S. Treasury securities and be used for working capital and general corporate purposes while the Company’s Board pursues opportunities for a business transaction with an independent operating company.

Warrant No. [   ]
____________ Warrants


Chase Packaging Corporation, a Texas corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for value received, ______________________________________, or his, her, or its registered assigns (the “ Holder ”), is the owner of that number of Warrants (the “ Warrants ”) set forth above and is entitled to purchase from the Company, for each Warrant held, one (1) share of common stock, $0.10 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”), of the Company (each such share, a “ Warrant Share ” and all such shares, the “ Warrant Shares ”) at an exercise price equal to $0.15 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9 , the “ Exercise Price ”), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and through and including the fifth anniversary of the date hereof (the “ Expiration Date ”), and subject to the following terms and conditions. These Warrants are part of a package of securities issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase and Subscription Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company and the Purchasers identified therein. All such warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “ Warrants .”

1.   Definitions .  In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant Agreement, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

2.   Registration of Warrant .  The Company shall register these Warrants, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of these Warrants as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

3.   Registration of Transfers .  The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant Certificate in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant Certificate (any such new warrant, a “ New Warrant ”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant Certificate so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant Certificate not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of this Warrant Certificate.

4.   Exercise and Duration of Warrants .

(a)   These Warrants shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant Certificate not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value; provided that, if the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Expiration Date exceeds the Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the extent not previously exercised) on a “cashless exercise” basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City time on the Expiration Date if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below.

(b)   A Holder may exercise this Warrant Certificate by delivering to the Company: (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “ Exercise Notice ”), appropriately completed and duly signed; and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant Certificate is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice and if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “ Exercise Date .” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant Certificate in order to effect an exercise hereunder.

5.   Delivery of Warrant Shares .

(a)   Upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued, and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date.
2

(b)   This Warrant Certificate is exercisable either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

(c)   The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation, or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to him, her, or it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant Certificate as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

6.   Charges, Taxes, and Expenses .  Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee, or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; 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 registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant Certificate or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7.   Replacement of Warrant Certificate .  If this Warrant Certificate is mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant Certificate, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft, or destruction and customary and reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.

8.   Reservation of Warrant Shares .  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant Certificate, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9 ). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued, and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
3

9.   Certain Adjustments .  The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9 .

(a)   Stock Dividends and Splits .  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant Certificate is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock; (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(b)   Pro Rata Distributions .  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant Certificate is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock: (i) evidences of its indebtedness; (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph); (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security; or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “ Distributed Property ”), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of which the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) such record date and of which the numerator shall be such average less the then fair market value of the Distributed Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as determined by the Company’s independent certified public accountants that regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an “ Appraiser ”). In such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case such fair market value shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the Appraiser and such appraiser. As an alternative to the foregoing adjustment to the Exercise Price, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such record date the Company will deliver to such Holder, the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant Certificate could have been exercised immediately prior to such record date, upon any exercise of the Warrant Certificate that occurs after such record date.
4

(c)   Fundamental Transactions .  If, at any time while this Warrant Certificate is outstanding: (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person; (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions; (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property; or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash, or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the same amount and kind of securities, cash, or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant Certificate (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant Certificate will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash, or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant Certificate following such Fundamental Transaction. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that:

(x)   this Warrant Certificate shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate Consideration in accordance with this section 9(c),

(y)   in the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale, or conveyance such successor or purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company’s obligations under this Warrant Certificate and the Purchase Agreement, and

(z)   if registration or qualification is required under the Securities Act or applicable state law for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock and other securities so issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, all rights applicable to registration of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall apply to the Alternate Consideration.
5

If, in the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the Alternate Consideration includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Fundamental Transaction, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Warrant Certificate (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control, then at the request of the Holder delivered before the 30 th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) shall purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black-Scholes value (calculated in accordance with Bloomberg, L.P. using a 180 day historical volatility) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant Certificate on the date of such request in the case of a third party tender offer, or, in the case of any other Fundamental Transaction, on the date of the execution of definitive documentation governing such Fundamental Transaction.

(d)   Subsequent Equity Sales .

(i)   If, at any time while this Warrant Certificate is outstanding, the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants, options, or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable, or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively, “ Common Stock Equivalents ”) at an effective net price to the Company per share of Common Stock (the “ Effective Price ”) less than the Exercise Price (as adjusted hereunder to such date), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the Effective Price. For purposes of this paragraph, in connection with any issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents: (A) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents (the “ Deemed Number ”) shall be deemed to be outstanding upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents; (B) the Effective Price applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value of consideration payable to the Company to purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise, or exchange them into Common Stock (net of any discounts, fees, commissions, and other expenses), divided by the Deemed Number; and (C) no further adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. The Effective Price of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued in any transaction in which more than one type of securities are issued shall give effect to the allocation by the Company of the aggregate amount paid for such securities issued in such transaction.
6

(ii)   If, at any time while this Warrant Certificate is outstanding, the Company issues Common Stock Equivalents with an Effective Price or a number of underlying shares that floats or resets or otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based (directly or indirectly) on market prices of the Common Stock (a “ Floating Price Security ”), then for purposes of applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any subsequent exercise, the Effective Price will be determined separately on each Exercise Date and will be deemed to equal the lowest Effective Price at which any holder of such Floating Price Security is entitled to acquire Common Stock on such Exercise Date (regardless of whether any such holder actually acquires any shares on such date).

(iii)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this paragraph in respect of any Excluded Stock (see definition contained in the Securities Purchase and Subscription Agreement referred to in section 15 hereof).

(e)   Number of Warrant Shares .  Simultaneously with any adjustments to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b), or (d) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(f)   Calculations .  All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(g)   Notice of Adjustments .  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 , the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Certificate and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder.

(h)   Notice of Corporate Events .  If the Company: (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities, or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company; (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction; or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in, or vote with respect to, such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant Certificate prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
7

10.   Payment of Exercise Price .  The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds; provided, however, if at anytime after the Required Filing Date there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, 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.
   
 
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant Certificate is being exercised.
   
 
A = the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
   
 
B = the Exercise Price.

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood, and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction pursuant to this Section 10 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 Certificate was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

11.   Fractional Shares .  The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant Certificate. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

12.   Notices .  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day; (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day; (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service; or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
8

13.   Warrant Agent .  The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant Agreement. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant Agreement without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

14.   SEC Registration .  These Warrants are being initially issued as part of a package of securities comprising certain Units being offered and sold by the Company through, and by means of, a Private Placement Memorandum. In connection that offering, each Purchaser will enter into a Securities Purchase and Subscription Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with the Company, the latter providing for each investor to have certain SEC registration rights for both these Warrants and the other securities comprising each Unit. With regard to such SEC registration rights, reference is hereby made to such Registration Rights Agreement, all of the provisions of which are herein incorporated by reference.

15.   Miscellaneous .

(a)   Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the first page hereof, this Warrant Certificate may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant Certificate may not be assigned by the Company except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. This Warrant Certificate shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant Certificate shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy, or cause of action under this Warrant Certificate. This Warrant Agreement may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder or his, her, or its successors and assigns.

(b)   The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant Agreement, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company: (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise; (ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant Certificate; and (iii) will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant Certificate.
9

(c)   Governing Law; Venue; Waiver Of Jury Trial .   All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement, and interpretation of this Warrant Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement, and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or his, her, or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of this Warrant Agreement), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action, or proceeding, any claim that he, she, or it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court or that such suit, action, or proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action, or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to him, her, or it under this Warrant Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant Agreement or any Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for his, her, or its reasonable attorneys fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation, and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

(d)   The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant Agreement, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(e)   In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant Agreement.
