    THIS SERIES B COMMON STOCK PURCHASE
WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies
that, for value received, LOTUSBOX INVESTMENTS LIMITED
(the “Holder”)
is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the
conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the
“Initial Exercise
Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the fifth year
anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”)
but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from CHINA NORTH EAST PETROLEUM HOLDINGS,
LIMITED, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to
_________ shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of
Common Stock.  The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under
this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section

    Section
2.             Exercise.

     

    a)           Exercise of
Warrant.  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the
Initial Exercise Date and on or before 5:00 p.m New York time on the Termination
Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice
of Exercise Form annexed hereto (or such other office or agency of the Company
as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address
of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company); and, within 3 Trading
Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the
Company shall have received  payment of the aggregate Exercise Price
of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a
United States bank.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the
Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available
hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder
shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within 3 Trading
Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
Company.  Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of
a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have
the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares
purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such
purchases.  After any exercise, the Holder and the Company shall
confirm with each other the total amount of Warrants remaining to be
exercised.  The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of
Exercise Form within 3 Business Days of receipt of such notice.  The Holder and any assignee, by
acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the
provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant
Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder
at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face
hereof.

     

    b)           Exercise
Price.  The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under
this Warrant shall be $_____ subject to adjustment or
reset hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).

     

    c)           Cashless
Exercise.  If at any time after 180 days from the Closing there
is no effective Registration Statement registering pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and the Holder, or no current
prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then
this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless
exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the
number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)]
by (A), where:

     

    
      
        	
                (A)
      =  

              	
                the
      VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such
      election;

                  (B)
      =  

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

                	
                  the
      number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
      in accordance
      with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a
      cashless exercise.

                


        

        
        

      

      
      

      
      

       

    

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

     

    d)           Mechanics of
Exercise.

     

    i.      Delivery of Certificates
Upon Exercise.  Certificates for shares purchased hereunder
shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by
crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust
Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the
Company is a participant in such system and there is an effective Registration
Statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, and
otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the
Notice of Exercise within 5 Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the
Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of
the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“Warrant Share Delivery
Date”).  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on
the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company.  The Warrant
Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so
designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record
of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised
by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if
permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to
Section 2(e)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid. If the
Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing
the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the 5th Trading
Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder,
in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant
Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the
date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $5.00 per Trading Day (increasing to
$10.00 per Trading Day on the [45th]
Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day
after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates are
delivered.

     

    ii.      Delivery of New Warrants
Upon Exercise.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in
part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this
Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.

     

    
      
         


      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    iii.              Rescission
Rights.  If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to
transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant
Shares pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the
Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

     

    iv.              Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.  In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker
to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s
brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the
Company 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 Warrant Shares that the Company 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 Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to
the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had
the Company 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 Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The
Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company,
evidence of the amount of such loss.  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 Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.

     

    iv.              No Fractional Shares or
Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any
fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon
such exercise, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment
in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

    vi.           Charges, Taxes and
Expenses.  Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be
made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other
incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which
expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in
the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the
Holder; that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a
name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly
executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the
payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental
thereto.

     

    vii.           Closing of
Books.  The Company will not close its stockholder books or
records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.

     

    e)           Automatic Reset Upon Certain
Conditions. Commencing on the earlier of (i) one year anniversary date of
the Issue Date of this Warrant or January 31, 2009, and thereafter on the last
day of each calendar quarter, for so long as this Warrant remains outstanding
(each such adjustment date being referred to as a “Reset Date”), the Exercise
Price of this Warrant shall be automatically subject to reduction to a price
equal to the average VWAP for the 15 trading day period ending immediately prior
to the Reset Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
the Exercise Price be reset pursuant to this Section 3(g) to a price less than
$2.35 per Warrant Share.

     

    Section
3.            
Certain
Adjustments.

     

    a)           Stock Dividends and
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding:
(A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on
shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not
include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this
Warrant), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number
of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by
reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of
the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the
aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.  Any
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
re-classification.

      b)           Subsequent Equity
Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any
time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to
purchase,
or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or
announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition)
any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire
shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then
Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and
such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”)
(if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall
at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset
provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or
due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with
such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective
price per share which is less than the Exercise Price (as in effect from time to
time), such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise
Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be
reduced in accordance with the following formula:

    

     

    O      +      N

              =

            	
              the
      number of shares of additional Common Stock issued pursuant to such
      rights, options or warrants.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              P

            	
              =

            	
              the
      price per share of the additional shares of Common
  Stock.

              =

            	
              the
      Market Value per share of Common Stock on the record
  date.

            


    

     

     

    c)             Such
adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
are issued.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be
made, paid or issued under this Section 3(c) in respect of an Exempt
Issuance.  The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later
than 10 Trading Days following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents subject to Section 3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance
price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other
pricing terms (such notice the “Dilutive Issuance
Notice”).  For purposes of clarification, whether or not the
Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to Section 3(b), upon the
occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance
the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base
Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share
Price in the Notice of Exercise.

    d)           Subsequent Rights
Offerings.  If the Company, at any time while theWarrant is
outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of
CommonStock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP at the record
date mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance
with the formula:

  Stock.

      Market Value per share of Common Stock on the record
  date.

            


    

     

     

    The
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options
orwarrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the record
date for thedetermination of stockholders entitled to receive the rights,
options or warrants.  If at the end of the period during which such
rights, options or warrants are exercisable, not all rights, options or warrants
shall have been exercised, the applicable Exercise Price shall be promptly
readjusted to what it would have been if “N” in the above formula had been the
number of shares actually issued.

     

    e)           Pro Rata
Distributions.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to
Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash
and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)),
then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a
fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record
date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such
record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the
portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to
one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of
Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be
described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable
to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever
any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the
record date mentioned above.

    f)           Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the
Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its
assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or
exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant
to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any
reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant
to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other
securities, cash or property (each “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and any additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such merger, consolidation or
disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes
of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be
appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the
amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the
Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing
provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental
Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant
into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a
Fundamental Transaction is affected shall include terms requiring any such
successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(e)
and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be
similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a
Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3
transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not
traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the
Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company or any successor
entity shall pay at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently
with or within 30 days after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, an
amount of cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance
with the Black-Scholes option pricing formula using an expected volatility equal
to the 100 day historical price volatility obtained from the HVT function on
Bloomberg L.P. as of the trading day immediately prior to the public
announcement of the Fundamental Transaction.

    g)        
  Call
Provision.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) and this
Section 2(e), if, after a date which is 12 months after the  Initial
Exercise Date, (i) the VWAP for each of 30 consecutive Trading Days (the “Measurement Period,”
which 30 consecutive Trading Day period shall not have commenced until after
the  Initial Exercise Date) exceeds 150% of the then Exercise Price,
and (ii) the average value of the daily volume of the company’s Common Stock for
such Measurement Period exceeds the sum of $500,000 per Trading Day and (, then
the Company may call for cancellation of all or any portion of this Warrant for
which a Notice of Exercise has not yet been delivered (such right, a “Call”) for
consideration equal to $.001 per thousand Shares.  To exercise this
right, the Company must deliver to the Holder an irrevocable written notice (a
“Call Notice”),
indicating therein the portion of unexercised portion of this Warrant to which
such notice applies.  If the conditions set forth below for such Call
are satisfied from the period from the date of the Call Notice through and
including the Call Date (as defined below), then any portion of this Warrant
subject to such Call Notice for which a Notice of Exercise shall not have been
received by the Call Date will be cancelled at 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on
the tenth Trading Day after the date the Call Notice is received by the Holder
(such date and time, the “Call
Date”).  Any unexercised portion of this Warrant to which the
Call Notice does not pertain will be unaffected by such Call
Notice.  In furtherance thereof, the Company covenants and agrees that
it will honor all Notices of Exercise with respect to Warrant Shares subject to
a Call Notice that are tendered through 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the
Call Date.  The parties agree that any Notice of Exercise delivered
following a Call Notice which calls less than all the Warrants shall first
reduce the number of Warrant Shares subject to such Call Notice prior to
reducing the remaining Warrant Shares available for purchase under this
Warrant.  For example, if (x) this Warrant then permits the Holder to
acquire 100 Warrant Shares, (y) a Call Notice pertains to 75 Warrant Shares, and
(z) prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date the Holder tenders
a Notice of Exercise in respect of 50 Warrant Shares, then (1) on the Call Date
the right under this Warrant to acquire 25 Warrant Shares will be automatically
cancelled, (2) the Company, in the time and manner required under this Warrant,
will have issued and delivered to the Holder 50 Warrant Shares in respect of the
exercises following receipt of the Call Notice, and (3) the Holder may, until
the Termination Date, exercise this Warrant for 25 Warrant Shares (subject to
adjustment as herein provided and subject to subsequent Call
Notices).  Subject again to the provisions of this Section 2(e), the
Company may deliver subsequent Call Notices for any portion of this Warrant for
which the Holder shall not have delivered a Notice of
Exercise.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Warrant, the Company may not deliver a Call Notice or require the cancellation
of this Warrant (and any such Call Notice shall be void), unless, on the Call
Date, (i) the Company shall have honored in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant all Notices of Exercise delivered by  5:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on the Call Date, and (ii) the Registration Statement shall be effective
as to all Warrant Shares and the prospectus thereunder available for use by the
Holder for the resale of all such Warrant Shares, and (iii) the Common Stock
shall be listed or quoted for trading on the Trading Market, and (iv) there is a
sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance of all
Securities under the Transaction Documents.  The Company’s right to
call the Warrants under this Section 2(e) shall be exercised ratably among the
Holders based on each Holder’s initial purchase of Warrants.

    h)           Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3,
the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

     

    i)           
Voluntary Adjustment
by Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant
reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time
deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.

     

    j)        
   Notice to
Holder.

     

    i.           Adjustment to Exercise
Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision
of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice
setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Company issues a
variable rate security, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase
Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which
such securities may be converted or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate
Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

     

    ii.           Notice to Allow Exercise by
Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall
declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common
Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common
Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder
at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company,
at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or
(y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange or Fundamental Transaction is expected to become
effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the
Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common
Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange;
provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the
mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required
to be specified in such notice.  The Holder is entitled to exercise
this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the
effective date of the event triggering such notice.

    Section
4.             Transfer of
Warrant.

     

    a)           Transferability.  Subject
to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth
in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 5 of the Purchase
Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation,
any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such
transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the
Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the
assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in such
instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant
evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall
promptly be cancelled.  A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be
exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a
new Warrant issued.

     

    b)           New Warrants. This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance
with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. 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 Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

     

    c)           Warrant Register. 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 Holder hereof from time to time.  The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the
contrary.

     

    
      
         


      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    d)           Transfer
Restrictions.  If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant
in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant
shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the
Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder
or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of
the Purchase Agreement.

     

    Section
5.                                Miscellaneous.

     

    a)           No Rights as Shareholder
Until Exercise.  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the
exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(e)(i).

     

    b)           Loss, Theft, Destruction or
Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall
not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

     

    c)           Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc.  If the last or appointed day for the taking of
any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not
be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.

     

    d)           Authorized
Shares.

     

    The Company covenants that during the
period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance
of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this
Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this
Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the
duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights
under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action
as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be
listed.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be
issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant
will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with
such issue).

     

    
      
         


      

      
        12

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    Except and to the extent as waived or
consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including,
without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, 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 Holder as set forth in this Warrant against
impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary
to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.

     

    Before taking any action which would
result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant
is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such
authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary
from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction
thereof.

     

    e)           Jurisdiction; Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

     

    f)           Restrictions.  The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state
and federal securities laws.  The Holder of this Warrant shall be
entitled to the Registration Rights described in the Registration Rights
Agreement dated as of February __, 2008 between the Company and the original
Holder of this Warrant.

     

    g)           Nonwaiver and
Expenses.  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of
such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any
provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder,
the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any
amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers
or remedies hereunder.

     

    h)           Notices.  Any
notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered
to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

     

    
      
         


      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    i)           Limitation of
Liability.  No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock
or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the
Company or by creditors of the Company.

     

    j)           Remedies.  Holder,
in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including
recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights
under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it
of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert
the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.

     

    k)           Successors and
Assigns.  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant
and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and
permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are
intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant
and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant
Shares.

     

    l)           Amendment.  This
Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.

     

    m)           Severability.  Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of
this Warrant.

     

    n)           Headings.  The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and
shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
