    THIS
COMMON STOCK WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies
that, for value received, _____________ (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 “Initial Exercise
Date”) and
on or prior to the close of business on _________ (the “Termination Date”)
but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from RINO International
Corporation, 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
2(b).

     

    Section
1.            Definitions.  Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in
that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”),
dated December 2, 2009, among the Company and the purchasers signatory
thereto.

     

    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 the Termination Date by delivery to the
Company (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 the Holder
appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the
Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto along with payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s
check drawn on a United States bank or, if available, pursuant to the cashless
exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below.  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 when 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.  The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of
Exercise Form within 1 Business Day 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 $34.50, subject to adjustment
under Section 3 of this Warrant (the “Exercise
Price”).

     

    c)           Cashless
Exercise.  If at the time of exercise hereof there is no
effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained
therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder
and all of the Warrant Shares are not then registered for resale by Holder into
the market at market prices from time to time on an effective registration
statement for use on a continuous basis (or the prospectus contained therein is
not available for use), then 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 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 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 Warrant Shares 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.

              


      

    

    
 

    “VWAP” means, for any
date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies:
(a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily
volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest
preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m.
(New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if the OTC
Bulletin Board is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the
Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin
Board, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on the
OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the
“Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or
agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid
price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases,
the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by
the board of directors of the Company.

      d)           Mechanics of
Exercise.

    

     

    i.      Delivery of Certificates
Upon Exercise.  Certificates for shares purchased hereunder
shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent 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 then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an
effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares
to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being
exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery to the
address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is
three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of
the Notice of Exercise Form, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required), and
(C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by
cashless exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”).  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on
the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to 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, with 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(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of
such shares, having been paid.

     

    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.

     

    iii.         Right to Rescind Warrant
Exercise.  If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to
transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the
Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(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 the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the
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 (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the
Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock (the “Delivered Warrant
Shares”) so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1)
the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the
Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the
sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (it being
understood that at such point the Company’s obligation to deliver such
certificate (and issue such Warrant Shares) with respect to the Delivered
Warrant Shares shall terminate), and (B) 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 (in which case such exercise shall be deemed
rescinded) 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 (A)
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.

    v.         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 the 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
taxes and 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; provided, however, 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)           Holder’s Exercise
Limitations.  A Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that
after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the
applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or
any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination
is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which
would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of
this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii)
exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other
securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any
other  Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion
or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by
the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that
the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in
compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely
responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance
therewith.   To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable
(in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any
Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the
sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall
be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is
exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with
any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each
case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have
no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination.   In addition, a determination as to any group
status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent
periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a
more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written
notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or
exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or
its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder, upon not
less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the
Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to
apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the
61st
day after such notice is delivered to the Company.  The provisions of
this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in
strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph
(or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended
Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or
supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of
this Warrant.

    Section
3.            Certain
Adjustments.  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant
Shares shall be adjusted from time to time such that the aggregate Exercise
Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged as follows:

     

    a)           Stock Dividends and
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding:
(i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes 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), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split)
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv)
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.  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.  If any dividend or distribution of the type
described in this Section is declared but not so paid or made, the Exercise
Price and number of Warrant Shares shall again be adjusted to the Exercise Price
and number of Warrant Shares that would have been in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been so declared.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    b)           [RESERVED]

     

    c)           Subsequent Rights
Offerings.  If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is
outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common
Stock (and not to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record
date mentioned below, then, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants
plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or
purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants
plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number
of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all
consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would
purchase at such VWAP.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such rights, options or warrants. If any dividend or distribution of the type
described in this Section is declared but not so paid or made, the Exercise
Price and number of Warrant Shares shall again be adjusted to the Exercise Price
and number of Warrant Shares that would have been in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been so declared.

     

    d)           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 the
Holders) 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(c)), 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 or rights or warrants 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.

    e)           Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the
Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the
Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its
assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or
indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding
Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization 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, (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business
combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization,
spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person
acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including
any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or
party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to,
such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination), in each
case in which the holders of Common Stock of the Company shall be entitled to
receive stock, other securities, property or assets (including cash or any
combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for their Common Stock (each
a “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, at the option of the Holder, 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 Fundamental Transaction by
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction.  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.

     

    f)           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.

     

    g)           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 within five (5) Trading Days 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.

    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, or any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (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 (or as promptly as possible after the establishment of
such record date or effective date to the extent such record date or effective
date is established 20 calendar days prior to such record date or effective
date), 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 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 shall remain 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  except as may
otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

     

    Section
4.             Transfer of
Warrant.

     

    a)           Transferability.  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, as applicable, 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.  The Warrant, if properly
assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the
purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    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
as of its issuance 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.

     

    Section
5.                                Miscellaneous.

     

    a)           No Rights as Stockholder
Until Exercise.  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company
prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(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.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        10

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    d)           Authorized
Shares.

     

    The
Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will
use its commercially reasonable efforts 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 shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that the 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 commercially 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 and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, 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).

     

    The
Company will (i) 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, (ii) 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 (iii) 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. 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 and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise,
will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities
laws.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    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.

     

    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.  The
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 and permitted assigns of the Company and the
successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this
Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of
this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the 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.
