        FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the undersigned, Commerce Energy Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and
assigns, the "Issuer"), hereby certifies that Bill Corbett or its registered affiliates is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the period
specified in this Warrant, up to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (250,000) shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 9 hereof. 


        1.    Term.    The right to subscribe for and purchase shares of Warrant Stock represented hereby shall commence on
August 21, 2008 and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on August 21, 2013 (such period being the "Term"). 


        2.    Method of Exercise Payment Issuance of New Warrant Transfer and Exchange.    



        (a)    Time of Exercise.    The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at
any time and from time to time during the Term commencing on August 21, 2008. 


        (b)    Method of Exercise.    The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender of
this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant
Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such Holder's election
(i) by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by "cashless exercise" in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c)
of this Section 2, or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant. 


        (c)    Cashless Exercise.    Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Per Share Market Value of
one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant
by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer together with
the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event 








 




the
Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula: 



					
	 	 	X = Y-(A)(Y)

                  B
	Where	 	X =	 	the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
	 	 	Y =	 	the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.
	 	 	A =	 	the Warrant Price.
	 	 	B =	 	the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock.






        Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the last day of the Term, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c). 


        (d)    Issuance of Stock Certificates.    In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the
Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise (the "Delivery Date") or, if the Issuer's
Securities are eligible for such manner of delivery, then at the request of the Holder, issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") account on the Holder's behalf via the Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission System ("DWAC"), within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the
Holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if
any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised (less any amount thereof which shall have been canceled in payment or partial payment of the Warrant Price as hereinabove
provided) shall also be issued to the Holder hereof at the Issuer's expense within such time. 


        (e)    Transferability of Warrant.    Subject to Section 2(g), this Warrant may be transferred, in whole or in
part, by a Holder without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by the
Holder's duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon
payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants for the purchase of the
same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such
exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable
pursuant thereto. 


        (f)    Continuing Rights of Holder.    The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this
Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the
failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder. 


        (g)    Compliance with Securities Laws.    



        (i)    The
Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired
solely 




2







 


for
the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock
to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. 



        (ii)   Except
as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped
or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: 




THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR COMMERCE ENERGY GROUP, INC. SHALL HAVE
RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED. 





        (iii)  The
restrictions imposed by this subsection (g) upon the transfer of this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased upon exercise hereof shall
terminate (A) when such securities shall have been resold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (B) upon the Issuer's receipt of an opinion of
counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, addressed to the Issuer to the effect that such restrictions are no longer required to ensure compliance with the Securities Act
and state securities laws, or (C) upon the Issuer's receipt of other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state
securities laws are not required. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any such securities, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer (or its transfer agent
and registrar), without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new Warrants (or, in the case of shares of Warrant Stock, new stock certificates) of like tenor not bearing the
applicable legend required by paragraph (ii) above relating to the Securities Act and state securities laws. 




        (h)    Buy In.    



        In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant
Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery Date (or, in the case of any exercise of this Warrant after the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date, any such certificate
representing Warrant Stock contains any legend restricting transfer (including any legend set forth in Section 2(g)(ii) above)), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to
purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such
exercise (a "Buy-In"), then the Issuer shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase
price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Warrant Stock that
the Issuer was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times, (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and
(2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of shares of Warrant Stock for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been 



3







 




issued
had the Issuer timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the
immediately preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Issuer. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to
it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Issuer's failure to timely deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. 




        3.    Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.    



        (a)    Stock Fully Paid.    The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock
which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes,
liens and charges created by or through Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized
and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 150% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock exercisable
hereunder to provide for the exercise of this Warrant (without regard to limitations on exercisability set forth in Section 8). 


        (b)    Reservation.    If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this
Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer
will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock on any
securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this
Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange's rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable
hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which
the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the
Issuer. 


        (c)    Covenants.    



        (i)    The
Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of
this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will
(i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or
by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as
may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally 




4







 


issue
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and
(iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the
Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant. 


        (ii)   To
the extent that amendments to this Warrant are required in connection with the filing of a listing application with the American Stock Exchange in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby, the Issuer and the Holder shall cooperate in good faith to reach mutually acceptable resolutions with regard to such amendments, without penalty; provided that
the Holder has, in its sole discretion, determined such amendments to be advisable. 




        (d)    Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants.    Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership
of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the
case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and
deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock. 




        4.    Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number.    The number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time  as set forth in this Section 4. The
Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to
this Section 4 in accordance with Section 5. 



        (a)    Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.    



        (i)    In
case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a "Triggering Event"):
(a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to
consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be
changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or
(d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the
terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this
Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common
Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such
Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant (without giving effect to the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof) immediately prior
thereto (including the right to elect the type of consideration, if applicable), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly
equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4. Unless the surviving entity in any such Triggering Event is a public company under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the common equity securities of which are traded or quoted on a national securities exchange or the OTC 




5







 


Bulletin
Board (a "Qualifying Entity"), the Holder, at its option, shall be permitted to require that the Issuer pay to the Holder an amount equal to
the Black-Scholes value of this Warrant. 


        (ii)   Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary and so long as the surviving entity is a Qualifying
Entity, the Issuer will not be deemed to have effected any Triggering Event if, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any Securities,
cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to the Holder of this Warrant and reasonably satisfactory to
the Holder, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall
not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of Securities, cash or property as, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder, an opinion of counsel
for such Person, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation,
all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the
exercise of any rights pursuant hereto. 




        (b)    Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.    If at any time the Issuer shall: 



        (i)    set
a record date or take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of,
shares of Common Stock, 


        (ii)   subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or 


        (iii)  combine
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, 




then
(1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common
Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive
after the happening of such event (without giving effect to the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof), and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to
equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment (without giving effect to
the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof) divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment
(without giving effect to the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof). 


        (c)    Certain Other Distributions.    If at any time the Issuer shall set a record date or take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of: 



        (i)    cash
(other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of
incorporation of the Issuer), 



        (ii)   any
evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash or Common Stock), or 




6







 


        (iii)  any
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of
any nature whatsoever (other than cash or Common Stock), 




then
(1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment (without giving effect to the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof) multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which
shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount allocable to one
share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer and supported by an opinion from an investment
banking firm reasonably acceptable to the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so
distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment (without giving effect to the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof) divided by (B) the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment (without giving effect to the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof). A reclassification of
the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be
deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding shares of
Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may
be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4(b). 


        (d)    Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section.    The following provisions shall be applicable
to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4: 



        (i)    Fractional Interests.    In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common
Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share. 


        (ii)    When Adjustment Not Required.    If the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan
to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment
previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled. 




        (e)    Form of Warrant after Adjustments.    The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments
in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant. 



        (f)    Escrow of Property.    If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to this Section 4 by reason
of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, and the Holder exercises this Warrant, such property shall be held
in escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be distributed to the Holder upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the then current Warrant Price. 



7







 




Notwithstanding
any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed property shall be returned to the Issuer. 




        5.    Notice of Adjustments.    Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to
Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in
reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made
any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this
Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this
Warrant be submitted to one of the national accounting firms currently known as the "big four" selected by the Holder, provided that the Issuer shall
have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have
no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and
such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. 


        6.    Fractional Shares.    No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise
hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall at its option either (a) make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the
Per Share Market Value then in effect or (b) issue one whole share in lieu of such fractional share. 



        7.    Put Right.    At any time commencing on February 20, 2009, the Holder shall have the right, upon delivery
of not less than five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Issuer, to cause the Issuer to purchase this Warrant for cash at a redemption price equal to product obtained by multiplying
(i) the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is then exercisable (without giving effect to any splits, combinations and the like occurring after the date hereof) by (ii) $0.30
(the "Redemption Price"). Payment of the Redemption Price shall be made on the date set forth for redemption in the notice delivered by the Holder in
accordance with this Section 7. To the extent the Redemption Price is not paid when due, such amount shall bear interest at the rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to pay the Redemption Price is secured by the collateral pledged to the Holder pursuant to the Security Agreement
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement). 



        8.    Certain Exercise Restrictions.    


        (a)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock
to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in
such holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of all of the
Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 13
hereof) that such holder would like to waive this Section 8(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 8(a) will be of no
force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced in such notice; provided, further, that this Section 8(b) shall be of no further force or effect during the
sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant. 



8







 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock
to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in
such holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of all of the
Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 13
hereof) that such holder would like to waive this Section 8(b) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 8(b) will be of no
force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced in such notice; provided, further, that this Section 8(b) shall be of no further force or effect
during the sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant. 




        9.    Definitions.    For the purposes of this Warrant, the following terms have the following meanings: 



        "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Issuer. 



        "Business Day" means, even if not capitalized, any day banking transactions can be conducted in New York City, New York, and does not
