Sun New Media, Inc, a company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota
(the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, BARRON PARTNERS LP, or its
registered assigns (the “Warrant Holder” or “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms
set forth below, to purchase from the Company up to Four Million (4,000,000) shares (as adjusted
from time to time as provided in Section 7, the “Warrant Shares”) of common stock, $0.01
par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company at a price of Two Dollars and Ten Cents
($2.10) per Warrant Share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 7, the
“Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time from and after the date thereof and
through and including 5:00 p.m. New York City time on December 31, 2008 (or eighteen months of
effectiveness of a Registration Statement subsequent to the issuance hereof (such eighteen months
to be extended by one month for each month or portion of a month during which a Registration
Statement’s effectiveness has lapsed or been suspended), whichever is longer) (the “Expiration
Date”), and subject to the following terms and conditions:




 









 








     1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to
be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the
record Warrant Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered
Warrant Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof
or any distribution to the Warrant Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be
affected by notice to the contrary.



     2. Investment Representation. The Warrant Holder by accepting this Warrant represents
that the Warrant Holder is acquiring this Warrant for its own account or the account of
an affiliate for investment purposes and not with the view to any offering or distribution and
that the Warrant Holder will not sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or the underlying
Warrant Shares in violation of applicable securities laws. The Warrant Holder acknowledges that
the certificates representing any Warrant Shares will bear a legend indicating that they have not
been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”)
and may not be sold by the Warrant Holder except pursuant to an effective registration statement or
pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements of the 1933 Act and in accordance with
federal and state securities laws. If this Warrant was acquired by the Warrant Holder pursuant to
the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act afforded by Regulation S
thereunder, the Warrant Holder acknowledges and covenants that this Warrant may not be exercised by
or on behalf of a Person during the one year distribution compliance period (as defined in
Regulation S) following the date hereof. “Person” means an individual, partnership, firm,
limited liability company, trust, joint venture, association, corporation, or any other legal
entity.



     3. Validity of Warrant and Issue of Shares. The Company represents and warrants that
this Warrant has been duly authorized and validly issued and warrants and agrees that all of Common
Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, when
issued upon such exercise, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further
warrants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of
Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.



     4. Registration of Transfers and Exchange of Warrants.



          a. Subject to compliance with the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant, the Company
shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender
of this Warrant with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the
Company at the office specified in or pursuant to Section 12. Upon any such registration or
transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any
such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred
shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this
Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Warrant Holder. The
acceptance of




2









 







the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such
transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a Warrant Holder of a Warrant.




          b. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrant Holder to the office
of the Company specified in or pursuant to Section 9 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in
the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased
hereunder. Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.




     5. Exercise of Warrants.



          a. Upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto duly
completed and signed to the Company, at its address set forth in Section 12, and upon payment and
delivery of the Exercise Price per Warrant Share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that
the Warrant Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in lawful money of the United States of America,
in cash or by certified or official bank check or checks, to the Company, all as specified by the
Warrant Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event
later than 7 business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue or cause to be
issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Warrant Holder and in such
name or names as the Warrant Holder may designate (subject to the restrictions on transfer
described in the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant), a certificate for the Warrant
Shares issuable upon such exercise, with such restrictive legend as required by the 1933 Act. Any
person so designated by the Warrant Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become
holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant.




          b. A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this
Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto
(or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Warrant Holder to be purchased.




          c. This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time for such number of
Warrant Shares as is indicated in the attached Form of Election To Purchase. If less than all of
the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase
the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.




          d. (i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary but subject to Section 6,
the holder of this Warrant may, at its election exercised 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 – C))/B





	 	(ii)	 	For purposes of the foregoing formula:
	 
	 	 	 	A = the total number shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised.
	 
	 	 	 	B = the weighted average sale price (as reported by Bloomberg) of the Common
Stock for the thirty trading days immediately preceding the date of the
Exercise Notice.
	 
	 	 	 	C = the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect at the time of such exercise.





          e. The Holder of this Warrant agrees not to elect a Cashless Exercise for a period of twelve
(12) months. The Holder of this Warrant also agrees not to elect a Cashless Exercise so long as
there is an effective registration statement for the Warrant Shares or if the Holder has been
provided with an opportunity to effect a transaction the result of which provides the Holder with
liquidity with an effect substantially the same as if such registration statement were effective
(but only as to the number of shares with respect to which such liquidity is provided).




     6. Maximum Exercise. The Warrant Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this
Warrant on a Date of Exercise in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would
be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the
Warrant Holder and its affiliates on an exercise date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this
limitation is being made on an exercise date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the
Warrant Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on
such date. This Section 6 may be waived or amended only with the consent of the Holder and the
consent of holders of a majority of the shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Company who are
not Affiliates. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the term “Affiliate” shall
mean any person: (a) that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or
is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company; or (b) who beneficially owns who
beneficially owns an interest in the Company’s Convertible Note or Warrants dated December 31,
2005. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.



     7. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The character of the shares of
stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price
therefore, are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the following events, and all such
adjustments shall be cumulative:



          a. Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, Etc. The Exercise Price
of this Warrant and the number of shares of




4









 







Common Stock or other securities at the time issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock
split, combination of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting
the number of outstanding shares of stock or securities.




          b. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case of any consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate
reorganization, in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such
consolidation, merger or reorganization (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a
“Reorganization”), then, in each case, the Holder of this Warrant, on exercise hereof at
any time after the consummation or effective date of such Reorganization (the “Effective
Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the shares of stock or other securities at any time issuable
upon the exercise of the Warrant issuable on such exercise prior to the Effective Date, the stock
and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled
upon the Effective Date if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all
subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).




          c. Certificate as to Adjustments. In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or
kind of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will promptly give written
notice thereof to the Holder of this Warrant in the form of a certificate, certified and confirmed
by the Board of Directors of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing
in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.




          d. Price Adjustment. For two years from the Closing Date, if other than in an Exempt
Issuance (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which this Warrant was originally
issued) the Company closes on the sale of a convertible note or notes, shares of Common Stock, or
shares of any class of Preferred Stock at a price per share of Common Stock, or with a conversion
right to acquire Common Stock at a price per share of Common Stock, that is less than the Exercise
Price (as adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof), the Company shall reduce the Exercise Price for
any Warrants not yet exercised to being equivalent to such lower issuance or conversion price.




     8. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued
fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares that
shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate
number of Warrants Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of
a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 8, be issuable on the exercise of
this Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise
Price multiplied by such fraction or (ii) round the number of Warrant Shares issuable, up to the
next whole number.



     9. Call by the Company. If, during the period from the date of three months and one day
after the date of initial issuance of this Warrant to expiration date of the



5









 




Warrant, the weighted
average sale price of the Company’s common stock is equal to or in excess of $4.20 for a period of
thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days and (i) there is an effective Registration Statement covering
the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant (“Automatic Exercise”) during such thirty (30)
consecutive day period or (ii) the Holder has been provided with an opportunity to effect a
transaction the result of which provides the Holder with liquidity with an effect substantially the
same as if such registration statement were effective (but only as to the number of shares with
respect to which such liquidity is provided), the Company may require that the Holder exercise this
Warrant by providing notice (“Automatic Exercise Notice”). Upon receipt of the Automatic
Exercise Notice, the Holder must (i) exercise, in whole, this Warrant within forty-five (45) days;
or (ii) notify the Company of its intent to transfer this Warrant pursuant to Section 4 of this
Warrant. In the event Holder elects to transfer this Warrant pursuant to Section 4 of this
Warrant, then the subsequent holder of this Warrant must exercise this Warrant on or before the
forty-fifth (45) day after notification of intent to transfer this Warrant. In the event that this
Warrant is exercised, the Holder must deliver to the Company at its principal office, on or before
5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the required date, (i) Form of Election to Purchase properly executed
and completed by Holder or an authorized officer thereof, (ii) a check or wire payable to the order
of the Company, in an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice, and (iii) this Warrant. If the Holder does not
exercise this Warrant within forty-five (45) days from receipt of the Automatic Exercise Notice or,
in the event that this Warrant
has been transferred pursuant to Section 4 of this Warrant, the subsequent holder of this
Warrant does not exercise this Warrant within forty-five (45) days after notification of intent to
transfer this Warrant, then this Warrant will expire. In no event may the Company require the
Investor to exercise any such warrant that would force the Investor to violate the 4.9% provision
in the Stock Purchase Agreement or this Warrant Agreement; provided that so long as such
limitation is effective, the Holder must use its commercially best efforts to sell or otherwise
dispose of shares of Common Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock, or take such other action such
as to result in a reduction in the Holder’s percentage ownership of the Company to a level which
would permit this Warrant to be exercised in full. This Warrant does not expire if the provisions
of this paragraph are triggered by the 4.9% limitation as stated above; provided however, that upon
delivery of the Automatic Exercise Notice, all ongoing covenants of the Company or other provisions
with respect to adjustment of the exercise price of this Warrant shall terminate and be of no
further force or effect.




     10. Sale or Merger of the Company. Upon a Change in Control, the restriction
contained in Section 6 shall immediately be released and the Holder will have the right to exercise
this Warrant concurrently with such Change in Control event. For purposes of this Warrant, the
term “Change in Control” shall mean (i) a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another company or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity or (ii) the sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another company or entity in a transaction or
series of transactions, in either case where the other company or entity is not controlled by the
then existing stockholders of the Company.



6









 





     11. Notice of Intent to Sell or Merge the Company. The Company will give Holder ten
(10) business days notice before the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company or the merger or consolidation of the Company in a transaction in which the Company is
not the surviving entity.



     12. Issuance of Substitute Warrant. In the event of a merger, consolidation,
recapitalization or reorganization of the Company or a reclassification of Company shares of stock,
which results in an adjustment to the number of shares subject to this Warrant and/or the Exercise
Price hereunder, the Company agrees to issue to the Holder a substitute Warrant reflecting the
adjusted number of shares and/or Exercise Price upon the surrender of this Warrant to the Company.



     13. Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the date they are delivered if delivered in person; (ii)
on the date initially received if delivered by facsimile transmission followed by registered or
certified mail confirmation; (iii) on the date delivered by an overnight courier service; or (iv)
on the third business day after it is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested with postage and other fees prepaid as follows:
