execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company,
and
the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
have
been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company, and
no
further consent or action is required by the Company, its Board of Directors,
or
its stockholders. Each of the Transaction Documents has been (or upon delivery
will be) duly executed by the Company and, assuming the due authorization,
execution, and delivery by the other parties thereto, is, or when delivered
in
accordance with the terms hereof will, constitute the valid and binding
obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with
its terms.
(d)
No
Conflicts
. The
execution, delivery, and performance of the Transaction Documents by the
Company, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any
provision of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or other
organizational or charter documents; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default
(or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration,
or
cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) of, any agreement,
credit facility, debt, or other instrument (evidencing a Company debt or

or its securities are subject), or by which any property or asset of the Company
is bound or affected.
(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.

Capitalization

price under such securities. Set forth in

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.
(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.
(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.
(i)
The
undersigned Purchaser has received a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum
and has read it carefully and is fully familiar with the contents, has had
the
opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the
accuracy of the information, and has been given the opportunity to meet with
the
Company and to have the Company answer any questions regarding the terms and
conditions of an investment in the Company, and all such questions have been
answered to the full satisfaction of the undersigned.
The
undersigned further acknowledges that the Company
has
made
available to the undersigned the opportunity to obtain additional information
to
evaluate the merits and risks of this investment.
(j)
The
undersigned Purchaser confirms that the Securities were not offered to the
undersigned by any means of general solicitation or advertising, and the
undersigned has received no representations from the Company or any employees,
attorneys or agents, other than those contained in this Agreement. The
undersigned has made such independent investigation that the undersigned deemed
necessary for the purpose of making a decision to invest in the Company. In
making a decision to purchase the Securities, the undersigned has relied solely
upon the undersigned’s review of the Private Placement Memorandum and
independent investigations made by the undersigned without assistance of the
Company,
and

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.

through and by means of a Private Placement Memorandum. In connection with
that
offering, each Purchaser will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement of
even
date herewith with the Company providing for each Purchaser to have certain
SEC
registration rights for the Securities. 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.
ARTICLE
VI
MISCELLANEOUS
6.1
Entire
Agreement
. The
Transaction Documents, together with the Schedules thereto, contain the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect
to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such
documents and schedules. At or after the Closing, and without further
consideration, the Company will execute and deliver to the Purchasers such
further documents as may be reasonably requested in order to give practical
effect to the intention of the parties under the Transaction
Documents.
6.2
Notices
. Any

to
be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and

Person.
6.3
Amendments;

. 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

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

“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.
NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE
PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY AND PURCHASERS HEREBY WAIVE
ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
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.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF
,
the
parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their
respective authorized signatories as of the date first indicated
above.

|
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.
(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.
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.
(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.
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.
(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.
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.

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.

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

accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard
to

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

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.

Warrant Agreement, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the

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.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF

the
Company has caused this Warrant Agreement to be duly executed by its authorized
