to the provisions contained herein and therein, to purchase four (4) Warrant Shares for each 10
Shares issued to such Purchaser on the Closing Date, subject to adjustment as provided in Article
6.



     Section 2.2 Form, Denomination and Date of Warrants. (a) The Warrant Certificates shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Warrants shall be numbered, lettered or
otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plans as the officers of the
Company executing the same may determine with the approval of the Warrant Agent. Each Warrant
shall be dated the date of its authentication. Any of the Warrants may be issued with appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced
thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, as may be
required to comply with any law or with any rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with the
rules of any securities market in which the Warrants are admitted to trading, or to conform to
general usage. All Warrants shall be otherwise substantially identical except as to denomination
and as provided herein.



          (b) Purchasers of Warrants will receive certificated Warrants bearing the Restricted Warrant
Legend (“Restricted Warrants”). Restricted Warrants will bear the Restricted Warrant Legend unless
removed in accordance with Section 2.4.




     Upon the occurrence of an Effective Registration, all requirements with respect to legends on
Warrants will cease to apply, and certificated Warrants without legends will be available to the
Holders.



     Section 2.3 Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. (a) Warrant Certificates
evidencing the Warrants which may be countersigned and delivered under this Agreement are limited
to Warrant Certificates evidencing 546,400 Warrants, except for Warrant Certificates countersigned

previously countersigned Warrant Certificates pursuant to Sections 2.6, 3.2(e), 7 and 9.



4









 





          (b) At any time and from time to time on or after the date of this Agreement, Warrant
Certificates evidencing the Warrants may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Warrant
Agent for countersignature, and the Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of a Company Order and at the
direction of the Company set forth therein, countersign and deliver such Warrant Certificates to
the Company for issuance. The Warrant Agent is further hereby authorized to countersign and
deliver Warrant Certificates as required by this Section 2.3 or by Sections 2.2, 2.6, 3.2(e), 7 or

          (c) The Warrant Certificates shall be executed in the corporate name and on behalf of the

countersignature by the Warrant Agent and issue and delivery thereof, such Warrant Certificates
may, nevertheless, be countersigned by the Warrant Agent and issued and delivered with the same
force and effect as though such person had not ceased to be such officer of the Company, and any
Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by such person as, at the actual date of
the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company, although at
the date of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such an officer.




     Section 2.4 Transfer and Exchange. (a) If a holder of a Restricted Warrant wishes at any
time to transfer such Restricted Warrant to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the
form of a Restricted Warrant, such holder may, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth
herein and in such Restricted Warrant, cause the exchange of such Restricted Warrants for one or
more Restricted Warrants of any authorized denomination or denominations and exercisable for the
same aggregate number of Warrant Shares. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent at its Corporate Agency
Office of (1) such Restricted Warrant, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such
holder directing the Warrant Agent to authenticate and deliver one or more Restricted Warrants
exercisable for the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares as the Restricted Warrant to be
exchanged, such instructions to contain the name or names of the designated transferee or
transferees, the authorized denomination or denominations of the Restricted Warrants to be so
issued and appropriate delivery instructions, (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B
attached hereto given by the Person acquiring the Restricted Warrants, to the effect set forth
therein, and (4) an opinion of counsel to the transferor of such Restricted Warrant substantially
to the effect set forth in Exhibit C hereto, to the effect set forth therein, then the
Warrant Agent shall cancel or cause to be cancelled such Restricted Warrant and, concurrently
therewith, the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall authenticate and deliver, one or
more Restricted Warrants to the effect set forth therein, in accordance with the instructions
referred to above.



          (b) If Warrants are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Warrants bearing the
Restricted Warrant Legend, or if a request is made to remove such Restricted Warrant Legend, the
Warrants so issued shall bear the Restricted Warrant Legend; or




5









 








the Restricted Warrant Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless (i) there is
delivered to the Company and the Warrant Agent satisfactory evidence, which shall include an
opinion of counsel as may be reasonably required by the Company and the Warrant Agent to the effect
that neither the Restricted Warrant Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are
required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of the Securities Act or, with
respect to Restricted Warrants, that such Warrants are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule
144 under the Securities Act or (ii) there is an Effective Registration with respect to the
Warrants then in effect or the Warrants as to which the Restricted Warrant Legend is sought to be
removed have been disposed of in accordance with the Registration Statement. Upon (i) provision of
such satisfactory evidence, or (ii) notification by the Company to the Warrant Agent of an
Effective Registration with respect to the Warrants and an opinion of counsel to that effect, the
Warrant Agent, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver Warrant Certificates
that do not bear the Restricted Warrant Legend.




          (c) No service charge shall be made to a Warrantholder for any registration of transfer or
exchange.



     Section 2.5 Effective Registration. In the event the Company has an Effective Registration,
the Company shall notify the Warrant Agent within two Business Days after the Effective Date.
Promptly after delivering to the Warrant Agent notice of the Effective Registration and an opinion
of counsel to that effect, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Warrant Agent
certificates for Warrants without legends and the Warrant Agent shall authenticate and deliver
certificated Warrants without legends to Holders presenting their certificated Warrants for
exchange to transferees of Warrants covered by the Registration Statement in the names and
denominations specified by them.



ARTICLE 3




EXERCISE, REDEMPTION AND EXPIRATION OF WARRANTS




     Section 3.1 Right to Acquire Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Each Warrant Certificate shall,
when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, entitle the Holder thereof, subject to the provisions
thereof and of this Agreement, to acquire from the Company, for each Warrant evidenced thereby,
four (4) Warrant Shares for each 10 Shares issued to such Purchaser on the Closing Date at the
Warrant Price, subject to adjustment as provided in this Agreement. The Warrant Price shall be
adjusted from time to time as required by Section 6.1.



     Section 3.2 Exercise and Expiration of Warrants. (a) Exercise of Warrants. Subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, including, without limitation, the exercise procedure
described in Section 3.2(c), a Holder of a Warrant Certificate may exercise all or any whole number
of the Warrants evidenced thereby, on any Business Day from and after February 6, 2008 until 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (subject to earlier expiration pursuant to Article
5) for the Warrant Shares purchasable thereunder.



          (b) Expiration of Warrants. The Warrants shall terminate and become void as of 5:00 p.m., New
York time on the Expiration Date, subject to earlier expiration in accordance



6









 




with Article 5. In the event that the Warrants are to expire by reason of Article 5, the term
“Expiration Date” shall mean such earlier date for all purposes of this Agreement.




          (c) Method of Exercise.




               (i) Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver to the Warrant Agent at the Corporate Agency Office
(A) a written notice of such Holder’s election to exercise Warrants, duly executed by such Holder
in the form set forth on the reverse of, or attached to, such Warrant Certificate, which notice
shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, (B) the Warrant Certificate evidencing
such Warrants and (C) to Computershare, a sum equal to the aggregate Warrant Price for the Warrant
Shares into which such Warrants are being exercised, which sum shall be paid in any combination
elected by such Holder of (x) certified or official bank checks in New York Clearing House funds
payable to the order of the Company and delivered to Computershare at the Corporate Agency Office,
or (y) to Computershare, wire transfers in immediately available funds to the account of the
Company at such banking institution as the Company shall have given notice to the Warrant Agent and
the Holders in accordance with Section 13.1(b); or



               If fewer than all the Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate are exercised, such
Warrant Certificate shall be surrendered and a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and for
the number of Warrants which were not exercised shall be executed by the Company. The Warrant
Agent shall countersign the new Warrant Certificate, registered in such name or names, subject to
the provisions of Article 9, as may be directed in writing by the Holder, and shall deliver the new
Warrant Certificate to the Person or Persons in whose name such new Warrant Certificate is so
registered. The Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent
with Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.



               (ii) Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising the Warrant, the Holder may elect to receive
shares of Common Stock equal to the value of the Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by
surrender of the Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such
election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock
computed using the following formula:




	 	X =	 	Y (A-B)
	 	 	 	     A 
	 
	 	Where X =	 	 the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
	 
	 	Y =	 	 the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant.
	 
	 	A =	 	 the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock.
	 
	 	B =	 	 the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).





7









 





          For purposes of the Warrant, the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock shall be
determined as follows:




          a. If the Common Stock is listed on a National Securities Exchange or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges on such exchange or listed for trading on the Nasdaq system, the current market
value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange or system on the
last business day prior to the date of exercise of the Warrant or, if no such sale is made on such
day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or system; or




          b. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted, the current market shall be the average
of the closing bid and asked prices as quoted by the OTC Bulletin Board; or




          c. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the
current market value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices reported by the
National Quotation Bureau, Inc. on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of the
Warrant; or




          d. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and
asked prices are not so reported, the current market value shall be an amount, not less than book
value thereof as at the end of the most recent fiscal year of the Company ending prior to the date
of the exercise of the Warrant, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the
Board of Directors of the Company.




          (d) Issuance of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of a Warrant Certificate evidencing Warrants
in conformity with the foregoing provisions and payment of the Warrant Price in respect of the
exercise of one or more Warrants evidenced thereby, the Warrant Agent shall, when such payment is
received, deliver to the Company the notice of exercise received pursuant to Section 3.2(c), and,
in accordance with Section 3.3, deliver or deposit all funds received as instructed in writing by
the Company and advise the Company by means of a weekly activity report of the amount of funds so
deposited to its account. The Company shall thereupon, as promptly as practicable, and in any
event within three Business Days after receipt by the Company of such notice of exercise, execute
or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Recipient (as defined below) a
certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such
exercise (based upon the aggregate number of Warrants so exercised), determined in accordance with
Section 3.6, together with an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional share(s) determined in
accordance with Section 6.4. The certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent
possible, in such denomination or denominations as such Holder shall request in such notice of
exercise and shall be registered or otherwise placed in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder
or, such other Person as shall be designated by the Holder in such notice (the Holder or such other
Person being referred to herein as the “Recipient”).




          (e) Time of Exercise. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to
the close of business on the date on which all requirements set forth in Section 3.2(c) applicable
to such exercise have been satisfied. Subject to Section 6.1(e)(iv), certificate(s) evidencing the
Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of such Warrant shall be




8









 







deemed to have been issued and, for all purposes of this Agreement, the Recipient shall, as
between such Person and the Company, be deemed to be and entitled to all rights of the holder of
record of such Warrant Shares as of such time.




     Section 3.3 Application of Funds Upon Exercise of Warrants. Any funds delivered to
Computershare upon exercise of any Warrant(s) shall be held by Computershare pending delivery to
the Company. Computershare shall promptly deliver and pay to or upon the written order of the
Company all funds received by it upon the exercise of any Warrants by bank wire transfer to an
account designated by the Company or as Computershare otherwise may be directed in writing by the
Company.



     Section 3.4 Payment of Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes (other than income
taxes) and other charges that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Warrant Shares
on exercise of Warrants pursuant hereto. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be
required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in respect of any transfer involved in
the issue and delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares or payment of cash to any Recipient
other than the Holder of the Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and in
case of such transfer or payment, the Warrant Agent and the Company shall not be required to issue
or deliver any certificate or, in the case of Computershare, pay any cash until (a) such tax or
charge has been paid or an amount sufficient for the payment thereof has been delivered to the
Warrant Agent or the Company or (b) it has been established to the Company’s satisfaction that any
such tax or other charge that is or may become due has been paid.



     Section 3.5 Surrender of Certificates. Any Warrant Certificate surrendered for exercise
shall, if surrendered to the Company, be delivered to the Warrant Agent, and all Warrant
Certificates surrendered or so delivered to the Warrant Agent shall be promptly cancelled by such
Warrant Agent and shall not be reissued by the Company. Warrant Certificates shall be retained by
the Company in accordance with applicable law.



     Section 3.6 Shares Issuable. The number of Warrant Shares “issuable upon exercise” of
Warrants at any time shall be the number of Warrant Shares into which such Warrants are then
exercisable. The number of Warrant Shares “into which each Warrant is exercisable” initially shall
be one share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6.1.



ARTICLE 4




REGISTRATION RIGHTS




     The Warrantholders and holders of Warrant Shares shall have the registration rights provided
for in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company shall keep copies of the Registration Rights
Agreement available for inspection by the Holders during normal business hours at its office. The
Company shall supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such numbers of copies of the
Registration Rights Agreement as the Warrant Agent may request.

ARTICLE 5




DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION OR WINDING UP




     If, on or prior to the Expiration Date, the Company (or any other Person controlling the
Company) shall propose a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
affairs of the Company, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent and all
Holders of Warrant Certificates in the manner provided in Article 13 prior to the date on which
such transaction is expected to become effective or, if earlier, the record date for such
transaction. Such notice shall also specify the date as of which the holders of record of the
Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares for monies, securities or other property
deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be, on which date
each Holder of Warrant Certificates shall be entitled to receive the monies, securities or other
property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder been the holder of
record of the Warrant Shares into which the Warrants were exercisable immediately prior to such
dissolution, liquidation or winding up (net of the then applicable Warrant Price) and the rights to
exercise the Warrants shall terminate.



     In case of any such voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company, the Company shall deposit with the Warrant Agent any monies, securities or other property
which the Holders are entitled to receive under this Agreement, together with a Company Order as to
the distribution thereof. After receipt of such deposit from the Company and after any Holder has
surrendered a Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent shall make payment in the
appropriate amount to such Person or Persons as it may be directed in writing by the Holder
surrendering such Warrant Certificate. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to pay interest on
any money deposited pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5 except such as it shall agree with
the Company to pay thereon. Any monies, securities or other property which at any time shall be
deposited by the Company or on its behalf with the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Article 5 shall
be, and are hereby, assigned, transferred and set over to the Warrant Agent in trust for the
purpose for which such monies, securities or other property shall have been deposited; provided
that monies, securities or other property need not be segregated from other monies, securities or
other property held by the Warrant Agent except to the extent required by law.



ARTICLE 6




ADJUSTMENTS




     Section 6.1 Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares into which each Warrant is exercisable
and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time after the date hereof in
accordance (and only in accordance) with the provisions of this Article 6:



          (a) Adjustment for Recapitalization, Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In
case (i) the outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of
shares, (ii) a dividend or other distribution in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common
Stock, (iii) the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of
shares thereof, or (iv) any shares of the Company’s capital stock are issued by




10









 







reclassification of the Common Stock (including any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger
in which the Company is the continuing corporation), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such subdivision, combination or reclassification or at the record date of such dividend or
distribution shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision, combination or
reclassification or immediately after the record date of such dividend or distribution be
proportionately adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a fully
diluted basis) after giving effect to such combination, subdivision, reclassification or dividend
and the denominator of which is the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a fully
diluted basis) outstanding immediately prior to such combination, subdivision, reclassification or
dividend.




          (b) For purposes of the Warrant, “on a fully diluted basis” means that all outstanding
options, rights or Warrants to subscribe for shares of Common Stock and all securities convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (such options, rights, Warrants and securities are
collectively referred to herein as “Convertible Securities”) and all options or rights to acquire
Convertible Securities have been exercised, converted or exchanged.




          (c) Whenever the Exercise Price per share is adjusted as provided in the immediately preceding
paragraph, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon conversion of the Warrant
immediately prior to such Exercise Price adjustment shall be adjusted, effective simultaneous with
the Exercise Price adjustment, to equal the product obtained (calculated to the nearest full share)
by multiplying such number of shares of Common Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Exercise Price per share in effect immediately prior to such Exercise Price adjustment and the
denominator of which is the Exercise Price per share in effect upon such Exercise Price adjustment,
which adjusted number of shares of Common Stock shall thereupon be the number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable upon conversion of the Warrant until further adjusted as provided herein.




          (d) Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Liquidation Etc. In case of
any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation, the securities of which are at the
time receivable on the exercise of the Warrant) after the date hereof or in case after such date
the Company (or any such other corporation) shall consolidate with or merge into another
corporation or convey all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or liquidate,
then, and in each such case, the Holder of the Warrant upon the exercise thereof as provided in
Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger,
conveyance or liquidation, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the securities and property
receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such consummation, the securities or property
to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised
the Warrant immediately prior thereto; in each such case, the terms of the Warrant shall be
applicable to the securities or property receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant after such
consummation.




          (e) No Dilution. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of the Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the





11









 







carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of the Warrant against dilution or other
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, while the Warrant is outstanding, the
Company (a) will not permit the par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock receivable upon
the exercise of the Warrant to be above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise and (b) will
take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue or sell fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the
Warrant.




          (f) Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of an adjustment in the number of
shares of Warrant Shares receivable on the exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense will
promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a
certificate executed by an executive officer of the Company setting forth such adjustment and
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company will forthwith mail a
copy of each such certificate to the Holder.




          (g) Notices of Record Date, Etc. In case:




               (i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend at the same rate as the rate of
the last cash dividend theretofore paid) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for,
purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to
receive any other right; or



               (ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock
of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or any
conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or



               (iii) of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company,
then, and in each such case, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder of the
Warrant at the time outstanding a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the
amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the date on which such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up is to take place, and the time, if any, is to be fixed, as to which the holders of
record of Common Stock (or such other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of the
Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other securities) for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall be mailed at least 20
days prior to the date therein specified and the Warrant may be exercised prior to said date during
the term of the Warrant.

ARTICLE 7




LOSS OR MUTILATION




     Upon (i) receipt by the Warrant Agent of an affidavit with respect to the ownership of and the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and an open penalty surety bond
satisfactory to the Warrant Agent holding both it and the Company harmless and other such security
or indemnity as may be reasonably required to save each of them harmless and (ii) surrender, in the
case of mutilation, of the mutilated Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent and cancellation
thereof, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Warrant Agent that the Warrants
evidenced thereby have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon
its written request the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver to the registered Holder of the
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate, in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof,
a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and for a like aggregate number of Warrants. At the
written request of such registered Holder, the new Warrant Certificate so issued shall be retained
by the Warrant Agent as having been surrendered for exercise, in lieu of delivery thereof to such
Holder, and shall be deemed for purposes of Section 3.2 to have been surrendered for exercise on
the date the conditions specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence were first
satisfied.



     Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate under this Article 7, the Company may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent and of
counsel to the Company) in connection therewith.



     Every new Warrant Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this Article 7 in lieu of any
lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall constitute an additional contractual obligation
of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be
at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement equally
and proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates duly executed and delivered
hereunder.



     The provisions of this Article 7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights or remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed
Warrant Certificates.



ARTICLE 8




RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF WARRANT SHARES




     The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, solely
for issue upon the exercise of Warrants as herein provided, such number of its authorized but
unissued Warrant Shares deliverable upon the exercise of Warrants as will be sufficient to permit
the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares
will, at all times that Warrants are exercisable, be duly approved for listing subject to official
notice of issuance on each securities exchange, if any, on which the Common Stock are then listed.
The Company covenants that (i) all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon exercise



13









 




of Warrants shall, upon issuance, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and
nonassessable and free of preemptive or similar rights, (ii) the Warrant Shares and the offering
thereof are either registered or subject to a valid exemption from registration under the
Securities Act and (iii) the stock certificates issued to evidence any such Warrant Shares will
comply with the Delaware General Corporation Law and any other applicable law.




     The Company hereby authorizes and directs its current and future transfer agents for the
Common Stock at all times to reserve stock certificates for such number of authorized shares as
shall be requisite for such purpose. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to requisition from
time to time from any such transfer agents stock certificates required to honor outstanding
Warrants upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Company
hereby authorizes and directs such transfer agents to comply with all such requests of the Warrant
Agent. The Company will supply such transfer agents with duly executed stock certificates for such
purposes. Promptly after the date of expiration of all of the Warrants in accordance with Section
3.2(c), the Warrant Agent shall certify to the Company the aggregate number of Warrants then
outstanding, and thereafter no Warrant Shares shall be reserved in respect of such Warrants.



ARTICLE 9




WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS




     The Warrant Agent will maintain an office (the “Corporate Agency Office”) in the United States
of America, where Warrant Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
and where Warrant Certificates may be surrendered for exercise of Warrants evidenced thereby, which
office is Computershare Trust Company, N.A., 525 Washington Blvd. — Suite 4690, Jersey City, N.J.
07310, on the date hereof. The Warrant Agent will give prompt written notice to all Holders of
Warrant Certificates of any change in the location of such office.



     The Warrant Certificates evidencing the Warrants shall be issued in registered form only. The
Company shall cause to be kept at the office of the Warrant Agent designated for such purpose a
warrant register (the “Warrant Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the
Warrant Agent may prescribe and such regulations as may be prescribed by law, the Company shall
provide for the registration of Warrant Certificates and of transfers or exchanges of Warrant
Certificates as herein provided.



     Subject to Section 2.4, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Warrant Certificate
at the Corporate Agency Office, the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign
and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Warrant
Certificates evidencing a like aggregate number of Warrants.



     Subject to Section 2.4, (i) at the option of the Holder, Warrant Certificates may be exchanged
at the office of the Warrant Agent upon payment of the charges hereinafter provided for other
Warrant Certificates evidencing a like aggregate number of Warrants and (ii) whenever any Warrant
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent
shall countersign and deliver, the Warrant Certificates of the same tenor and



14









 







evidencing the same number of Warrants as evidenced by the Warrant Certificates surrendered by
the Holder making the exchange.



     All Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant
Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for
such registration of transfer or exchange.



     Subject to Section 2.4, every Warrant Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Warrant Agent) be duly endorsed, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant
Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.



     The Warrant Agent shall, upon request of the Company from time to time, deliver to the Company
such reports of registered ownership of the Warrants and such records of transactions with respect
to the Warrants and the Warrant Shares as the Company may request. The Warrant Agent shall also
make available to the Company for inspection by the Company’s agents or employees, from time to
time as the Company may request, such original books of accounts and records maintained by the
Warrant Agent in connection with the issuance and exercise of Warrants hereunder, such inspections
to occur at the Corporate Agency Office during normal business hours.



     The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement and any notices given to Holders
hereunder available for inspection by the Holders during normal business hours at the Corporate
Agency Office. The Company shall supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such numbers of
copies of this Agreement as the Warrant Agent may request.

Warrant Agent may treat the Person in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered as the
owner thereof for all purposes and as the Person entitled to exercise the rights granted under the

notice to the contrary.

ARTICLE 11




CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT




     Section 11.1 Nature of Duties and Responsibilities Assumed. The Company hereby appoints the
Warrant Agent to act as agent of the Company as set forth in this Agreement. The Warrant Agent
hereby accepts the appointment as agent of the Company and agrees to perform that agency upon the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement or as the Company and the Warrant Agent may
hereafter agree, by all of which the Company, by its acceptance thereof, shall be bound; provided,
however, that the terms and conditions contained in the Warrant Certificates are subject to and
governed by this Agreement or any other terms and conditions hereafter agreed to by the Company and
the Warrant Agent.



     The Warrant Agent shall not, by countersigning Warrant Certificates or by any other act
hereunder, be deemed to make any representations as to validity or authorization of (i) the
Warrants or the Warrant Certificates (except as to its countersignature thereon), (ii) any
securities or other property delivered upon exercise of any Warrant, (iii) the accuracy of the
computation of the number or kind or amount of stock or other securities or other property
deliverable upon exercise of any Warrant or (iv) the correctness of any of the representations of
the Company made in such certificates that the Warrant Agent receives. The Warrant Agent shall not
at any time have any duty to calculate or determine whether any facts exist that may require any
adjustments pursuant to Article 6 hereof with respect to the kind and amount of shares or other
securities or any property issuable to Holders upon the exercise of Warrants required from time to
time. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to determine the accuracy or
correctness of such calculation or with respect to the methods employed in making the same. The
Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or
amount) of any Warrant Shares or of any securities or property which may at any time be issued or
delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant or upon any adjustment



16









 







pursuant to Article 6 hereof, and it makes no representation with respect thereto. The
Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or
to issue, transfer or deliver any Warrant Shares or stock certificates or other securities or
property upon the surrender of any Warrant Certificate for the purpose of exercise or upon any
adjustment pursuant to Article 6 hereof or to comply with any of the covenants of the Company
contained in Article 12 hereof.



     The Warrant Agent shall not (i) be liable for any recital or statement of fact contained
herein or in the Warrant Certificates or for any action taken, offered or omitted by it in good
faith on the belief that any Warrant Certificate or any other documents or any signatures are
genuine or properly authorized, (ii) be responsible for any failure on the part of the Company to
comply with any of its covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant
Certificates or (iii) be liable for any act or omission in connection with this Agreement except
for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.



     The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to accept and is protected in accepting instructions
with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder by Company Order and to apply to any such
officer named in such Company Order for instructions (which instructions will be promptly given in
writing when requested), and the Warrant Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless for any
action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the instructions in any
Company Order.



     The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights and powers hereby vested in it or
perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys, agents or employees,
provided that reasonable care has been exercised in the selection and in the continued employment
of any such attorney, agent or employee. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation or
duty to institute, appear in or defend any action, suit or legal proceeding in respect hereof,
unless first indemnified to its satisfaction, but this provision shall not affect the power of the
Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider proper, whether with or without
such indemnity. The Warrant Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any claim made
or action, suit or proceeding instituted against it arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement.



     The Company shall perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed,
executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, instruments and assurances as may
reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent in order to enable it to carry out or perform its
duties under this Agreement.



     The Warrant Agent shall act solely as agent of the Company hereunder and does not assume any
obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the Holders or any beneficial
owners of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable except for the failure to perform such
duties as are specifically set forth herein or specifically set forth in the Warrant Certificates,
and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Warrant Agent
whose duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions hereof or the
express provisions of the Warrant Certificates.



17









 





     Section 11.2 Right to Consult Counsel. The Warrant Agent may at any time consult with legal
counsel satisfactory to it (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the Warrant Agent shall
incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Holder for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel.



     Section 11.3 Compensation, Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Company agrees to pay the
Warrant Agent from time to time compensation for all fees and expenses relating to its services
hereunder as the Company and the Warrant Agent may agree from time to time and to reimburse the
Warrant Agent for reasonable expenses and disbursements, including reasonable counsel fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the execution and administration of this Agreement. The
Company further agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent for and save it harmless against any losses,
liabilities or reasonable expenses arising out of or in connection with the acceptance and
administration of this Agreement, including the reasonable costs, legal fees and expenses of
investigating or defending any claim of such liability, except that the Company shall have no
liability hereunder to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense results from the Warrant
Agent’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.



     Section 11.4 Warrant Agent May Hold Company Securities. The Warrant Agent, any Countersigning
Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent or any Countersigning
Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or its
Affiliates, become pecuniarily interested in transactions in which the Company or its Affiliates
may be interested, contract with or lend money to the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise act as
fully and freely as though it were not the Warrant Agent or the Countersigning Agent, respectively,
under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent or any Countersigning Agent
from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.



     Section 11.5 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) The Warrant Agent may
resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liability hereunder (except
liability arising as a result of the Warrant Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct)
after giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Company. The Company may remove the
Warrant Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice, and the Warrant Agent shall thereupon in like
manner be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder, except as aforesaid. The
Warrant Agent shall, at the expense of the Company, cause notice to be given in accordance with
Section 13.1(b) to each Holder of a Warrant Certificate of said notice of resignation or notice of
removal, as the case may be. Upon such resignation or removal, the Company shall appoint in
writing a new Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of
thirty (30) calendar days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation by the
resigning Warrant Agent or after such removal, then the Holder of any Warrant Certificate may apply
to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Warrant Agent. Any new Warrant
Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a corporation doing business
under the laws of the United States or any state thereof in good standing, authorized under such
laws to act as Warrant Agent, and having a combined capital and surplus of not less than
$50,000,000. The combined capital and surplus of any such new Warrant Agent shall be deemed to be
the combined capital and surplus as set forth in the most recent annual report of its condition
published by such Warrant Agent prior to its



18









 







appointment, provided that such reports are published at least annually pursuant to law or to
the requirements of a Federal or state supervising or examining authority. After acceptance in
writing of such appointment by the new Warrant Agent, it shall be vested with the same powers,
rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as the Warrant Agent,
without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed; but if for any reason it shall be
reasonably necessary or expedient to execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or
deed, the same shall be done at the reasonable expense of the Company and shall be legally and
validly executed and delivered by the resigning or removed Warrant Agent. Not later than the
effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall file notice thereof with the resigning or
removed Warrant Agent. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 11.5(a), however,
or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of
the Warrant Agent or the appointment of a new Warrant Agent, as the case may be.



          (b) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent or any new Warrant Agent that be merged, or
any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Warrant Agent or any new Warrant
Agent shall be a party, shall be a successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further
act, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as successor to the Warrant
Agent under the provisions of Section 11.5(a). Any such successor Warrant Agent shall promptly
cause notice of its succession as Warrant Agent to be given in accordance with Section 13.1(b) to
each Holder of a Warrant Certificate at such Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant
Register.




     Section 11.6 Appointment of Countersigning Agent. (a) The Warrant Agent may appoint a
Countersigning Agent or Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Warrant Agent to
countersign Warrant Certificates issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of
transfer or pursuant to Article 7, and Warrant Certificates so countersigned shall be entitled to
the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Warrant
Certificates duly executed and delivered hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement
to the countersignature and delivery of Warrant Certificates by the Warrant Agent or to Warrant
Certificates countersigned by the Warrant Agent, such reference shall be deemed to include
countersignature and delivery on behalf of the Warrant Agent by a Countersigning Agent and Warrant
Certificates countersigned by a Countersigning Agent. Each Countersigning Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall at the time of appointment be a corporation doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof in good standing, authorized
under such laws to act as Countersigning Agent, and having a combined capital and surplus of not
less than $50,000,000. The combined capital and surplus of any such new Countersigning Agent shall
be deemed to be the combined capital and surplus as set forth in the most recent annual report of
its condition published by such Countersigning Agent prior to its appointment, provided that such
reports are published at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of a Federal or
state supervising or examining authority.



          (b) Any corporation into which a Countersigning Agent may be merged, or any corporation
resulting from any consolidation to which such Countersigning Agent shall be a party, shall be a
successor Countersigning Agent without any further act, provided that such corporation would be
eligible for appointment as a new Countersigning Agent under the





19









 







provisions of Section 11.6(a), without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of the Warrant Agent or the Countersigning Agent. Any such successor Countersigning
Agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as Countersigning Agent to be given in
accordance with Section 13.1(b) to each Holder of a Warrant Certificate at such Holder’s last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.




          (c) A Countersigning Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice thereof to the Warrant Agent and to the Company. The Warrant Agent may at any time
terminate the agency of a Countersigning Agent by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
thereof to such Countersigning Agent and to the Company.




          (d) The Warrant Agent agrees to pay to each Countersigning Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services under this Section, and the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 11.3.




          (e) Any Countersigning Agent shall have the same rights and immunities as those of the Warrant
Agent set forth in Section 11.1.

21









 








mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of
such Holder as it appears in the Warrant Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier
than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so
mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Holders. Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.




     In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made by a
method approved by the Warrant Agent as one which would be most reliable under the circumstances
for successfully delivering the notice to the addressees shall constitute a sufficient notification
for every purpose hereunder.



     Section 13.2 Required Notices to Holders. In case the Company shall propose (i) to pay any
dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of its Common Stock or to make any other
distribution to the holders of its Common Stock for which an adjustment is required to be made

securities, rights or options, (iii) to effect any reclassification of its Common Stock, (iv) to
effect any transaction described in Section 6.1(g) or (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Company shall cause to be filed with
the Warrant Agent and shall give to each Holder of a Warrant Certificate, in accordance with
Section 13.1(b), a notice of such proposed action or event. Such notice shall specify (x) the date
on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such dividend or distribution; and (y) the
date on which such reclassification, transaction, event, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is
expected to become effective and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock
of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, transaction, event, liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Re: Marshall Edwards, Inc. Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the “Warrants”)




     Reference is hereby made to the Warrant Agreement dated as of August 1, 2007 (the “Warrant
Agreement”) between Marshall Edwards, Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Warrant Agent.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Warrant
Agreement.



     This letter relates to Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of ___ Common Stock
(“Warrant Shares”), which Warrants are held in the name of [name of transferor] (the “Transferor”)
to effect the transfer of the Warrants to the undersigned.



     In connection with such request, and in respect of such Warrants, we confirm that:



     1. We understand that the Warrants and Warrant Shares have not been and may not be registered
under the Securities Act, and are being sold to us in a transaction that is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.



     2. We are a corporation, partnership or other entity or person having such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
an investment in the Warrants, and we are (or any account for which we are purchasing is) an
Institutional Accredited Investor or a Qualified Institutional Buyer (as such terms are defined
under the Securities Act), able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Warrants.



     3. We are acquiring the Warrants for our own account (or for accounts as to which we exercise
sole investment discretion and have authority to make, and do make, the statements contained in
this letter) and not with a view to any distribution of the Warrants or Warrant Shares, subject,
nevertheless, to the understanding that the disposition of our property shall at all times be and
remain within our control.



     4. We understand that (a) the Warrants will be delivered to us in registered form only and
that the certificate delivered to us in respect of the Warrants will bear a legend substantially to
the following effect:

[Restricted Warrant Legend]



THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE AND,
ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A
TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE
WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION,
UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH
TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.



and (b) such certificates shall be reissued without the foregoing legend only in the event of a
disposition of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5(c) or (d) below, or at
our request at such times as we would be permitted to dispose of the Warrants in accordance with
paragraph 5(d) below.




     5. We agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose of any of the
Warrants or Warrant Shares, we will not do so unless:




     (a) the Warrants or Warrant Shares are sold to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof;




     (b) the Warrants are sold to an Institutional Accredited Investor or a Qualified
Institutional Buyer, that, prior to such transfer, furnishes to the Warrant Agent a signed
letter containing certain representations and agreements relating to the restrictions on
transfer of the Warrants and Warrant Shares (the form of which letter can be obtained from
the Warrant Agent);




     (c) the Warrants or Warrant Shares are sold by us pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act; or




     (d) the Warrants or Warrant Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act.

Attention:______




Re: Marshall Edwards, Inc. Warrants to Purchase Common Stock




Ladies and Gentlemen:




     This opinion is being furnished to you in connection with the sale by ___ (the
“Transferor”) to ___ (the “Purchaser”) of Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
exercisable for an aggregate of ___ Common Stock, par value $.00000002 per share, of Marshall
Edwards, Inc. (the “Warrants”).



     We have examined such documents and records as we have deemed appropriate. In our examination
of the foregoing, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents, the genuineness of all
signatures and the due authorization, execution and delivery of the aforementioned by each of the
parties thereto. We have further assumed the accuracy of the representations contained in the
Accredited Investor Transferee Certificate executed and delivered by the Purchaser in connection
with its purchase of the Warrants made by the parties executing such document. We have also
assumed that the sale of the Warrants to the Transferor was exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).



     Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the sale to the Purchaser of the Warrants
is subject to a valid exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and does
not require registration of such Warrants or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof under
the Securities Act.



Very truly yours,





C-1
