Date of Issuance: As of October 14, 2011

	
Warrant to Purchase an Aggregate of 40,000 shares of Common Stock












FOR VALUE RECEIVED, INUVO, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Investor Relations Consulting Agreement effective as of October 14, 2011 (the “Agreement”) and between the Corporation and ALLIANCE ADVISORS, LLC (the "Holder") promises to issue in the name of, and sell and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for up to an aggregate of FORTY THOUSAND (40,000) shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), following the vesting thereof upon payment by the Holder of the Exercise Price set forth as follows.







SECTION 1.







EXERCISE OF WARRANT







1.1           Exercise Period.  The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares), at any time and time to time following the vesting of the various tranches thereof as set forth above and ending at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 14, 2016 (the “Exercise Period”).

1.3           Exercise Procedure.







a.           This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, provided however, if the last day of the Exercise Period is a day on which federal or state chartered banking institutions located in the State of Florida are authorized by law to close, then the last day of the Exercise Period shall be deemed to be the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day, by presentation and surrender to the Corporation at its principal office of this Warrant accompanied by the form of Exercise Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1 signed by the Holder and upon payment of the Exercise Price for the Common Stock purchased thereby, by cashier's check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:








	
  

	
(A) = the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;













	
  

	
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and













	
  

	
(X) = the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.












b.           Certificates for the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant will be delivered by the Corporation to the Holder within five (5) business days after the Exercise Date.  Unless this Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights represented hereby have been exercised, the Corporation will prepare a new Warrant representing the rights formerly represented by this Warrant that have not expired or been exercised.  The Corporation will, within such five (5) day period, deliver such new Warrant to the Holder at the address set forth in this Warrant.







c.           The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will be deemed to have been transferred to the Holder on the Exercise Date, and the Holder will be deemed for all purposes to have become the record holder of such Common Stock on the Exercise Date.







d.           The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant will be made without charge to the Holder of any issuance tax in respect thereof or any other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such exercise and related transfer of the shares; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate or instrument in a name other than that of the Holder of this Warrant, and that the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate or instrument unless and until the person or persons requiring the issue thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.







e.           Unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) such shares will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in the Act. The Corporation may insert the following or similar legend on the face of the certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock if required in compliance with state securities laws:







"These securities have not been registered under any state securities laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement under any applicable state securities laws, or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to counsel to the Corporation that an exemption from registration under any applicable state securities laws is available."

1.4           Fractional Shares.  If a fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Corporation will, within 30 days after the Exercise Date, deliver to the Holder a check payable to the Holder, in lieu of such fractional share, in an amount equal to the market price of such fractional share as determined by the last sale price of the Corporation’s Common Stock as reported on the NYSE Amex or the principal exchange on which the Corporation’s Common Stock is then traded, as of the close of business on the Exercise Date.







SECTION 2.







EFFECT OF STOCK DIVIDENDS, REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION,


CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE







2.1           Stock Dividends, Recapitalization or Reclassification of Common Stock.  In case the Corporation shall at any time prior to the exercise or termination of this Warrant (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution of its capital stock in shares of Common Stock to all holders of shares of Common Stock, or (ii) effect a recapitalization or reclassification of such character that its Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to purchase upon exercise hereof shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in such number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such stock dividend, recapitalization or reclassification, and the Exercise Price of such dividend, recapitalized or reclassified Common Stock shall, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, be proportionately decreased and, in the case of a decrease in the number of shares, be proportionately increased.







2.2           Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  In case the Corporation shall at any time prior to the exercise of this Warrant, or the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever first occurs, consolidate or merge with any other corporation (unless the Corporation shall be the surviving entity) or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation preparatory to a dissolution, then the Corporation shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise thereof after the effective date of such transaction, shall be entitled to receive the kind and amount of shares, evidences of indebtedness, and/or other property receivable on such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such transaction (without giving effect to any restriction upon such exercise); and, in any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder hereof to the effect that the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable (as nearly as may be practicable) with respect to any shares, evidences of indebtedness, or other securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant.







2.3           Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as provided herein, the Corporation shall file with its corporate records a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth the computation and the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder resulting from such adjustments, and a copy of such certificate shall be mailed to the Holder.  Any such certificate or letter shall be conclusive evidence as to the correctness of the adjustment or adjustments referred to therein and shall be available for inspection by the holders of the Warrants on any day during normal business hours.

SECTION 3.







RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK







The Corporation will at all times use its best efforts to reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant.  Upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to its terms, the Holder will acquire fully paid and non-assessable ownership rights of the Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances.







SECTION 4.







NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS







This Warrant will not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Corporation.  Until the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant are recorded as issued on the books and records of the Corporation’s transfer agent, the Holder shall not be entitled to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder; provided, however, that the Corporation shall use its bests efforts to ensure that, upon receipt of the Exercise Agreement and payment of the Exercise Price, the appropriate documentation necessary to effectuate the exercise of the Warrant and the issuance of the Common Stock is accomplished as expeditiously as possible.  No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Common Stock, and no enumeration in this Warrant of the rights or privileges of the Holder, will give rise to any obligation of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of the Corporation.







SECTION 5.







TRANSFERABILITY







This Warrant and any rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder with the prior written consent of the Corporation, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In the event the Corporation should consent to such transfer, this Warrant and the rights under shall be transferable upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed Assignment in the form of Exhibit 2 hereto at the principal offices of the Corporation.  The Corporation has no obligation to recognize any purported transfer of this Warrant, and the transferee is not entitled to any rights under this Warrant, until such acknowledgment has been received by the Corporation.  This Warrant and the underlying shares of Common Stock may not be offered, sold or transferred except in compliance with the Act, and any applicable state securities laws, and then only against receipt of an agreement of the person to whom such offer or sale or transfer is made to comply with the provisions of this Warrant with respect to any resale or other disposition of such securities; provided that no such agreement shall be required from any person purchasing this Warrant or the underlying shares of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement effective under the Act.  The Holder of this Warrant agrees that, prior to the disposition of any security purchased on the exercise hereof other than pursuant to a registration statement then effective under the Act, or any similar statute then in effect, the Holder shall give written notice to the Corporation, expressing his intention as to such disposition.  Upon receiving such notice, the Corporation shall present a copy thereof to its securities counsel.  If, in the sole opinion of such counsel, which such opinion shall not be unreasonably withheld, the proposed disposition does not require registration of such security under the Act, or any similar statute then in effect, the Corporation shall, as promptly as practicable, notify the Holder of such opinion, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to dispose of such security in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Corporation.
