THIS CERTIFIES THAT Holder is the owner of the number of Warrants set forth above of Standard Premium Finance Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”). Each Warrant entitles the Holder to purchase one share (collectively the “Warrant Shares”) of the common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), fully paid and non-assessable, free of taxes, liens, and charges, at an exercise price per share of Four ($4.00) Dollars per share (the “Exercise Price”) at any time during the period commencing on date of issuance and ending at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on the Expiration Date set forth above (the “Expiration Date”).

 

1. Method of Exercise; Payment.

 

(a)  Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by the payment to the Company, by certified, cashier’s or other check acceptable to the Company or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company, of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares being purchased.

 








 




(b)  Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:




		
	X=

	Y(A – B)


	A







							
	Where:

	    

	X

	  

	=

	  

	the number of the Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.


	 
	 
	 
	 

	 

	    

	Y

	  

	=

	  

	the number of the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant.


	 
	 
	 
	 

	 

	    

	A

	  

	=

	  

	the fair market value of one Share on the date of determination.


	 
	 
	 
	 

	 

	    

	B

	  

	=

	  

	the per share Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).




 

(c)  Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 1, the per share fair market value of the Warrant Shares shall mean:

 

(i)

 If the Company’s Common Stock is publicly traded, the per share fair market value of the Warrant Shares shall be the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, in each case for the fifteen trading days ending five trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value;

 

(ii)

 If the Company’s Common Stock is not so publicly traded, the per share fair market value of the Warrant Shares shall be such fair market value as is determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company after taking into consideration factors it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the capital stock of the Company in private transactions negotiated at arm’s length, but not less than $4.00 per share.

 

(d)  Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time.

 








 




2. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All of the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the Exercise Price therefore, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved for issuance sufficient shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant at the original Exercise Price.

 

3. Adjustments. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

 

(a) Reclassification. In the case of any reclassification or change of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder of this Warrant a new Warrant (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder of this Warrant), or the Company shall make appropriate provision without the issuance of a new Warrant, so that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the Warrant Shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, (i) the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger or sale by a Holder of the number of Warrant Shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this Warrant, or (ii) in the case of such a merger or sale in which the consideration paid consists all or in part of assets other than securities of the successor or purchasing corporation, at the option of the Holder of this Warrant, the securities of the successor or purchasing corporation having a value at the time of the transaction equivalent to the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of the transaction. The provisions of this subparagraph (a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers.

 

(b) Stock Splits, Dividends and Combinations. In the event that the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock or shall issue a stock dividend on its outstanding shares of Common Stock the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision or to the issuance of such stock dividend shall be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.

 








 




4. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder or the Exercise Price thereof shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Company shall provide notice to the Holder setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the number and class of shares which may be purchased thereafter and the Exercise Price therefor after giving effect to such adjustment. 




5. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock on the exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock acquirable on exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant (or specified portion thereof) then such fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

6. Representations of the Company. The Company represents that all corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the sale and issuance of the Warrant Shares pursuant hereto and the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder were taken prior to and are effective as of the effective date of this Warrant.

 

7. Representations and Warranties by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof are being acquired for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if so requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale and shall provide such other information and documentation requested by the Company.

 

(b) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that they must be held by the Holder indefinitely, and that the Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or is exempted from such registration.

 

(c) The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and of protecting its interests in connection therewith.

 








 




(d) The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.

 

8. Restrictive Legend. The Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:




THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT.

 9. Restrictions Upon Transfer and Removal of Legend.

 

(a) The Company need not register a transfer of this Warrant or Warrant Shares bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 8 hereof, unless the conditions specified in such legend are satisfied. The Company may also instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Warrant Shares, unless one of the conditions specified in the legend referred to in Section 8 hereof is satisfied.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) above, no opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer without consideration by any holder (i) if such holder is a partnership, to a partner or retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner, or (ii) if such holder is a corporation, to a shareholder of such corporation, or to any other corporation under common control, direct or indirect, with such holder.

 

10. Rights of Shareholders. No holder of this Warrant shall be entitled as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of any Warrant Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein. The holder of this Warrant will not be entitled to share in the assets of the Company in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of the Company.

 








 




11. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective when given, and shall in any event be deemed to be given upon receipt or, if earlier, (a) five (5) days after deposit with the U.S. Postal Service or other applicable postal service, if delivered by first class mail, postage prepaid, (b) upon delivery, if delivered by hand, (c) one business day after the business day of deposit with Federal Express or similar overnight courier, freight prepaid or (d) one business day after the business day of facsimile transmission, if delivered by facsimile transmission with copy by first class mail, postage prepaid, and shall be addressed (i) if to the Holder, at the Holder’s address as set forth on the books of the Company, and (ii) if to the Company, at the address of its principal corporate offices (attention: William Koppelmann, President and CEO), or at such other address as a party may designate by ten days advance written notice to the other party pursuant to the provisions above.
