NACEL
ENERGY CORPORATION
Warrant
To Purchase Common Stock
Series C
Warrant No.: 01
Date of
Issuance: November 24, 2009 (“Issuance Date”)
NACEL
Energy Corporation, a Wyoming corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, IROQUOIS MASTER FUND LTD., the registered holder hereof or its
permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the
terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as
defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common
Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange,
transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or
after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the
Expiration Date (as defined below), 1,250,000 (subject to adjustment as provided
herein) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below)
(the “Warrant
Shares”). Except
as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the
meanings set forth in Section 16. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to
purchase Common Stock (the “SPA
Warrants”) issued pursuant to
Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November
23, 2009, by and among the Company and the investors (the “Buyers”) referred to therein (the
“Securities Purchase
Agreement”).

EXERCISE OF
WARRANT.
|
(a)
Mechanics of
Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without
limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1 (f)), this Warrant may be
exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in
part, by delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to
exercise this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day following an exercise of this
Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an
amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise
multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so
exercised (the “Aggregate
Exercise Price”) in cash or via wire
transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not notify the Company
in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless
Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to
deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.
Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of
the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of
this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the
remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice
for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as
cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the second (2nd)
Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise
Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of
confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company’s
transfer agent (the “Transfer
Agent”). On or
before the third (3rd)
Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise
Notice, the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating
in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled
pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with
DTC through its Deposit/ Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer
Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer
Program, issue and deliver to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction
pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case,
sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the
applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share
register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the
applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise
Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the
holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has
been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the
Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such
Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection
with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1 (a) and the number of Warrant
Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the
number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request
of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later
than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and
deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with
Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No
fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be
rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes
which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares
upon exercise of this Warrant.
(b)
Exercise Price.
For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $0.90, subject to
adjustment as provided herein.
2
(c)
Company’s Failure to
Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or
for no reason, to issue to the Holder within five (5) Trading Days after receipt
of the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common
Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account
with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is
entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant (as the case may be) (a
“Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to all
other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the
Holder on each day after such fifth (5th)
Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely
effected an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which
the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company
could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating
Section 1(a). In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Trading Days
after the Company’s receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice, the Company shall
fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares
of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or credit the Holder’s balance
account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is
entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be), and if on or
after such third (3rd)
Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated
receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to
the Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s
request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an
amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s
obligation to deliver such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account
with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is
entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue
such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its
obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing
such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for
the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the
Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in
an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of
(A) such number of shares of Common Stock times (B) the Closing Sale Price of
the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the
applicable Exercise Notice.
(d)
Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary
(other than Section 1(f) below), if at the time of exercise hereof a
Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) is not effective (or the
prospectus contained therein is not available for use) for the resale by the
Holder of all of the Warrant Shares, then the Holder may, in its sole
discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the
cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise
in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such
exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the
following formula (a “Cashless
Exercise”):
3
|
Net Number =
|
(A x B) - (A x C)
|
|
B
|
For
purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= the
total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised.
B= as
applicable: (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such
Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a)
hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered
pursuant to Section 1 (a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of
regular trading hours (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS
promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the Bid
Price of the Common Stock as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the
applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during regular
trading hours on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter
pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof and (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common
Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise
Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered
pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of regular trading hours on such
Trading Day.
C= the
Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of
such exercise.
(e)
Disputes. In
the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the
arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to
the terms hereof (including, without limitation, under Section 1(h)), the
Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are
not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section
13.
(f)
Limitations on
Exercises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder hereof to the
extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder or any of its affiliates would
beneficially own in excess of 4.9% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock. To
the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this
Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis
other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder)
and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such securities
owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be
determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion,
exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise this
Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of
the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of
exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all
determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to
calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this
paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity
with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion
hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum
Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes
or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum
Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply
to a successor Holder of this Warrant. The holders of Common Stock shall be
third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this
paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For
any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the
Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by
virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable
securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this
Warrant or securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
4
(g)
Insufficient
Authorized Shares. The Company shall at all times keep reserved for
issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock as shall be
necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock
hereunder (without regard to any limitation otherwise contained herein with
respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquirable upon
exercise of this Warrant). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in
limitation thereof, at any time while any of the SPA Warrants remain outstanding
the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved
shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon
exercise of the SPA Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal
to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary
to effect the exercise of all of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”) (an “Authorized Share
Failure”), then
the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the
Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the
Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then
outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon
as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure,
but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such
Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders
for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common
Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each
stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its
stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and
to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they
approve such proposal.
(h)
Issuance Limit.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant (but subject
to Section 1(f)), the maximum number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant
may be exercised at any specific time by the Holder shall be equal to the
quotient of (i) the Current Available Amount as of such time over (ii) the
Exercise Price then in effect as of such time. The foregoing determination shall
be made upon each receipt of an Exercise Notice hereunder and no inability to
exercise as of any specific time as a result of this Section 1 (h) shall affect
any future determination of exercisability as of any other time. In the event
that the Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer all or any portion of this
Warrant, the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith make equitable
adjustments with respect to the Current Available Amount (and the components
thereof) to properly give effect to such sale of transfer, provided further that
if the Holder does not accept such adjustments, then the Company’s board of
directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent
investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate
adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding and whose fees and
expenses shall be borne by the Company.

2.
ADJUSTMENT
OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER
OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise
Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are
subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section
2.
(a)
Stock Dividends and
Splits. If the Company, at any time on or after the date of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes
of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution
on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii)
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise)
one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) one or more classes of its then 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. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs
during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the
calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect
such event.
(b)
Adjustment Upon
Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the date
of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issues or sells, or in
accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of
Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or
held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities
(as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal
to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or
deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as
the “Applicable
Price”) (the
foregoing a “Dilutive
Issuance”), then
immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 2(b), the following
shall be applicable:
(i)
Issuance of
Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the
lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the
exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than
the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the
granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this
Section 2(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock
is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise
or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such
Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if
any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of
Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the
Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security
issuable upon exercise of such Option. Except as contemplated below, no further
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such
shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of
such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
6
(ii)
Issuance of
Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any
Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of
Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is
less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed
to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of
the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.
For the purposes of this Section 2(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which
one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange
thereof” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if
any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common
Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. Except as contemplated below,
no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible
Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this
Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section
2(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price
shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or
Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any
Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue,
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at
which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the
Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be
adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had
such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased
purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion
rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For
purposes of this Section 2(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible
Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are
increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding
sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common
Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be
deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No
adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made if such adjustment would
result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
7
(iv)
Calculation of
Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with
the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one
integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such
Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued
for a consideration of $0.01. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold
for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net
amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the
Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such
consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount
of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the
arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5)
Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the
non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the
surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the
fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving
entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than
cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and
the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days
after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such
consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth
(10th) day
following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly
selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser
shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees
and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(v)
Record Date. If
the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B)
to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may
be).
(c) Number of Warrant
Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant
to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 2, the number of Warrant Shares that
may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased
proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price
payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as
the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment
(without regard to any limitations on exercise contained
herein).
8
(d)
Other Events.
In the event that the Company (or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof)
shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly
applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from
dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of
this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including,
without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock
rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of
directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment
in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares (if applicable) so as to
protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to
this Section 2(d) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of
Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2, provided
further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately
protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the Company’s
board of directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an
independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such
appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding and
whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.
(e)
Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 2 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.
3.
RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF
ASSETS. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if
the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its
assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock,
by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any
distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a
dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of
arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the
issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled
to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would
have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common
Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum
Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such
Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record
holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in
such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to
participate in any such Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the
Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such
Distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of
Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such
Distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the
Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the
Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

|
PURCHASE RIGHTS;
FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
|
(a)
Purchase
Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at
any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to
the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be
entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the
aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had
held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of
this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including
without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which
a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or,
if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of
Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase
Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum
Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such
Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common
Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right
to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if
ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum
Percentage).

Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a
Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all
of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and
substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in
exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a
written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant,
including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number
of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable
and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations
on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with
an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of
capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of
Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such
shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital
stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic
value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction) and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a
publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for
trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the consummation of each Fundamental
Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so
that from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, the
provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the
“Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every
right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the
Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same
effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon
consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver
to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this
Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash,
assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and
4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such
shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor
Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled
to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this
Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental
Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant),
as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to
and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the
consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares
of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect
to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make
appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right
to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in
lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or
other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a)
above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of
stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including
warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have
been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable
Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of
this Warrant). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.
10
(c)
Black Scholes Value.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of Section 4(b) above, in the
event of a Fundamental Transaction, if the Holder has not exercised this Warrant
in full prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, at the
request of the Holder delivered before the ninetieth (90th) day
after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company or the
Successor Entity (as the case may be) shall purchase this Warrant from the
Holder on the date of such request by paying to the Holder cash in an amount
equal to the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant that
remained on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction.
(d)
Application. The
provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive
Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied as if this
Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants) were fully exercisable and without
regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the
Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage,
applied however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the
1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such
other warrant)).
5.
NONCIRCUMVENTION. The
Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of
its Articles of Incorporation (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement),
Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of
arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the
provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the
rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in
effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and
(iii) shall, so long as any of the SPA Warrants are outstanding, take all action
necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the
SPA Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to
time be necessary to effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding
(without regard to any limitations on exercise).
11
6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A
STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the
Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital
of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be
construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its capacity as the Holder of
this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to
vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any
reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation,
merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends
or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the
Warrant Shares which it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of
this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed
as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon
exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company,
whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder
with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders
of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the
stockholders.
7. REISSUANCE OF
WARRANTS.
(a)

of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and
reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new

Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender
hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant
or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and
each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such
Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender;
provided, however, no warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be

to the Holder (i) immediately upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying,

provision of this Warrant or the application thereof becomes or is declared by a

remainder of the terms of this Warrant will continue in full force and
effect.

Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and

performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State

provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any other jurisdictions)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the
State of Illinois.
12. CONSTRUCTION;
HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the
Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the
drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference

DISPUTE
RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the
Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair market value or
the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares (as the case may be), the
Company or the Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the disputed
determinations or arithmetic calculations (as the case may be) via facsimile (i)
within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise
to such dispute to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) or (ii) if no
notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder learned of the
circumstances giving rise to such dispute (including, without limitation, as to
whether any issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale was an issuance or sale
or deemed issuance or sale of Excluded Securities). If the Holder and the
Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation (as the case
may be) of the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair
market value or the number of Warrant Shares (as the case may be) within three
(3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being
submitted to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Company
shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed
determination of the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or
fair market value (as the case may be) to an independent, reputable investment
bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder or (b) the disputed
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent,
outside accountant. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank
or the accountant (as the case may be) to perform the determinations or
calculations (as the case may be) and notify the Company and the Holder of the
results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives such
disputed determinations or calculations (as the case may be). Such investment
bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation (as the case may be) shall
be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
14
14. REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATION,
OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided
in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies
available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in
equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive
relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual
damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant.
The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization
concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set
forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like
(and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder
and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other
obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to
the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The
Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened
breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other
available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the
necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the
Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the
Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including,
without limitation, compliance with Section 2 hereof). The issuance of shares
and certificates for shares as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any
issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than
the Holder or its agent on its behalf.
