HEALTH BENEFITS DIRECT CORPORATION




WARRANT


Warrant No.                      Date of Original Issuance:                     , 20___




     Health Benefits Direct Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies
that, for value received,                                          or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is
entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of
                     shares of common stock, $0.001
par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and
all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $0.20 per share (as adjusted
from time to time as provided herein, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time on
or after the date hereof and to and including the earlier to occur of (a) the Call Event Expiration
Date (as defined below) and (b)                     , 2014 (the earlier to occur of (a) and (b), the
“Expiration Date”), and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. This warrant and any
warrants issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, are referred to herein as the
“Warrant.”



     1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to
be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record
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.



     2. Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion
of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of



 









 




Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified
herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in
substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the
portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant
evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the
transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed
the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.




     3. Exercise and Duration of Warrants. This Warrant shall be exercisable by the
registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including
the Expiration Date. At 11:59 p.m., New York City time on the Expiration Date, subject to Section
11, the portion of this Warrant not exercised (or called) prior thereto shall be and become void
and of no value.



     4. Delivery of Warrant Shares; Disposition of Warrants and Warrant Shares.



          (a) To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender
this Warrant. Execution and delivery via facsimile of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than
all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and
issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
Execution and delivery via facsimile of the Exercise Notice for all of the Warrant Shares shall
have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares.
Upon such delivery of the attached Exercise Notice to the Company (with the attached Warrant Shares
Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon (1) payment of the
then-applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends
to purchase hereunder or (2) notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to
a Cashless Exercise (as defined below), the Company shall on or before the third (3rd)
Trading Day after receipt thereof issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant
Shares issuable upon such exercise. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and subsequent to
the date on which the registration statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-162712) relating to the
rights offering (the “Registration Statement”) has been declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder
electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation
performing similar functions (“DTC”), if available, provided, that, the Company may, but will not,
be required to change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant
Shares electronically through the DTC. A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Holder
shall have delivered to the Company: (i) the Exercise Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log
attached to it) via facsimile, appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased (or
notice of a Cashless Exercise) as provided above. On the Date of Exercise, the Holder shall be
deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with
respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are
credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such
Warrant Shares (as the case may be).



2









 





          (b) The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms
hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other
Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder
or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. 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 this Warrant or to credit such shares to the Holder’s DTC account (as
the case may be) as required pursuant to the terms hereof.



          (c) The Warrants and Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) may only be disposed of
in compliance with state and federal securities laws and in accordance with the prospectus included
in the Registration Statement.



          (d) The Warrants shall contain the legend set forth above and the stock certificates
evidencing the Warrant Shares will contain the following legend, until such time as the
Registration Statement becomes effective or it is otherwise not required under state and federal
securities laws:


THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE
SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR
SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (I) (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B)
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL
OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY OR (II) RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT
SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.




     5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue
or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other similar incidental tax or expense in respect of the
issuance of such certificates, all of which such taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or
Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or any of its affiliates. The Holder shall be
responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this



3









 




Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.




     6. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and a
customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested.
Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New
Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver
such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue
the New Warrant.



     7. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise
unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable
and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other
contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments
and restrictions of Section 8). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and
deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price (or notice of a
Cashless Exercise) in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and
fully paid and nonassessable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at
any time while any of the Warrants remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number
of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for
issuance upon exercise of the Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the
exercise of all of the Warrants then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”) (an “Authorized
Share Failure”), then the Company shall as promptly as practicable thereafter take all action
necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to
allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Warrants then outstanding.



     8. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section
8.



          (a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any
class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
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
clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such



4









 




dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period
that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall
be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.




          (b) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (1)
the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (2) the
Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (3) 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 (4) 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 (in any such case, a
“Fundamental Transaction”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have
been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been,
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then
issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). 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. The terms of
any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring
any such surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the
Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent
transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.



          (c) Adjustment upon Issuance of shares of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after
the date of original issuance of this Warrant (the “Original Issue Date”) but prior to the date
that is two years after the Original Issue Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with
this Section 8 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance
or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding
any Excluded Securities, for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price
(the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or
sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such
Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to a price equal to the New
Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 8(c)
the following shall be applicable:




     (i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any
Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable



5









 







upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable
Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such
price per share. For purposes of this Section 8(c)(i), the “lowest price per share for which
one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any
such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any)
received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the
granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. Except as
contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the
actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.




     (ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues
or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of
Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the
Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to
have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such
Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(c)(ii),
the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the
conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of
Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. Except as contemplated below, no further
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of
Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if
any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options
for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions
of this Section 8(c), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise
Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.




     (iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise
price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the
issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which
any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of
such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in
effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased
or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion
rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of
this Section 8(c)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are increased or decreased



6









 







in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or
Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such
increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(c) shall be made if such
adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.




     (iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in
connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising
one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options
by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration
of $0.01. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or
sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor
will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other
than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value
of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case
the amount of consideration received by the Company for each such security will be the VWAP
of such security for the five (5) Trading Day Period immediately preceding the date of
receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the
owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the
surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value
of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case
may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined
jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within
ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”),
the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after
the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable
appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such
appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.




     (v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or
(B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities,
then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of
Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the
making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription
or purchase (as the case may be).



          (d) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price
pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (c) of this Section, unless waived in writing by the Holder with
respect to a particular adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such
adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of



7









 




Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment.




          (e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest
cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of
the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common
Stock.



          (f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this
Section 8, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the
terms of this Warrant and promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a
statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions
giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is
based. Upon written request of a Holder, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such
certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.



          (g) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other
distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including,
without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital
stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement
contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes
the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the
Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such
transaction, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a
Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to
deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action
required to be described in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder
constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information, the Company shall simultaneously file
such notice pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.



     9. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price by delivery to
the Company of immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, unless a Preliminary Call Event has occurred
prior to such Exercise Date (and only for so long as such Preliminary Call Event is continuing) or
the Company has timely delivered an effective notice of a Call Event to the Holder prior to the
Exercise Date, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment
otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common
Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):




			
	                    Net Number =	 	(A x B) - (A x C)

               B





8









 







                    For purposes of the foregoing formula:





A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised.




B= the VWAP of the shares of Common Stock for the 5 Trading Day period immediately
preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.




C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time
of such exercise.



     10. No Rights as Stockholder. Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall
not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company. In addition,
nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to
purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the
Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
Notwithstanding this Section 10, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same
notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously
with the giving thereof to the stockholders.



     11. Call Event. At any point after which the VWAP of the Common Stock for a minimum of
20 consecutive Trading Days shall have been equal to at least two times (2x) the Exercise Price (a
“Call Event”), the Company may, at its option, provide written notice of such Call Event to all,
but not less than all, holders of Warrants within 10 Trading Days after the occurrence of the Call
Event, in which case, the date that is ten business days after the Company has provided such
written notice to all such holders of a Call Event shall be the “Call Event Expiration Date.” For
the avoidance of doubt, at 11:59 p.m., New York City time on the Call Event Expiration Date, the
portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value as
further set forth below in this Section 11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice of a Call Event
shall not be effective with respect to the Holder unless (i) one or more Registration Statement(s)
covering all of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder is (or are, as
the case may be) effective and is (or are, as the case may be) not then suspended and no stop order
is in effect with respect thereto, and the Holder is able to sell all such shares pursuant to such
Registration Statement(s) through the Call Event Expiration Date, (ii) on each Trading Day during
the thirty (30) Trading Day period immediately preceding the Call Event Expiration Date (the
“Requisite Period”), all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held
by the Holder are freely tradable, without restriction (subject to compliance with prospectus
delivery requirements to the extent applicable), on an Eligible Market, (iii) on each day during
the Requisite Period, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the
Holder are designated for listing on an Eligible Market and shall not have been suspended from
trading on such exchange, (iv) the Company shall have, at all times during the Requisite Period,
delivered shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants held by a Holder on a timely basis
in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant, and (v) the Holder is able to sell all shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder at all times through the Call Event
Expiration Date



9









 




without any liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of Section 9
hereof, “Preliminary Call Event” shall occur at any point after which the VWAP of the Common Stock
for a minimum of 10 consecutive Trading Days shall have been equal to at least two times (2x) the
Exercise Price and the other conditions of a Call Event set forth above capable of being satisfied
prior to such point are satisfied (including, without limitation, that one or more Registration
Statement(s) covering all of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder
is (or are, as the case may be) effective and is (or are, as the case may be) not then suspended
and no stop order is in effect with respect thereto).




     12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in
connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would,
otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied
by the VWAP of the shares of Common Stock for the 5 Trading Day period immediately preceding the
Date of Exercise.



     13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder
(including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given
and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New
York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such
notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this
Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any
Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the
party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be:
(i) if to the Company, to Health Benefits Direct Corporation, Health Benefits Direct Corporation,
150 N. Radnor-Chester Road, Radnor, PA 19087, Facsimile: (484)
654-2212, Attention:
 Chief Financial Officer, or such other address as the Company shall so notify the Holder, or (ii) if to
the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other
address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this
Section.



     14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon
10 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into
which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any
consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to
which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or
