applicable law; it is aware that the Corporation is not a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction and the restricted period or hold period applicable to the Units subscribed for hereunder will not commence to run until the Corporation becomes a

delivery of the Units, it shall be representing and warranting that the representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements contained herein are true and correct as of the time of accepting delivery of the Units with the same force and
effect as if they had been made by the Subscriber at such time and that the representations and warranties shall survive the purchase by the Subscriber of the Units and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any subsequent
disposition by the Subscriber of the Units. The Corporation and its directors, officers, employees, shareholders and its legal counsel, shall be entitled to rely on the representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained in this Subscription
Agreement, and the Subscriber shall indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and its legal counsel for any loss, costs or damages any of them may suffer as a result of any misrepresentations or any breach or failure to comply with any agreement

proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Subscription
Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. 


 

	17.	This Subscription Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective, heirs and permitted successors and
assigns. 

  

	18.	This Subscription Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties.

 WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES 

 

			
	W1-2009-•	  	February 6, 2009

 This Warrant is issued to • (the “Holder”), by DNP Green Technology, Inc., a Delaware
Corporation (the “Corporation”) in connection with the Corporation’s issuance to the Holder of a Secured Debenture (the “Debenture”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Subscription Agreement accepted by the Corporation as
of February 6, 2009 (the “Subscription Agreement”). 

  
 16 









 1. Purchase of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in
the Subscription Agreement, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Corporation (or at such other place as the Corporation shall notify the Holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Corporation
• common shares of its share capital, in consideration of a payment of US$50 per common share (the “Exercise Price”), for a period of ten (10) years following the date hereof. 

2. Method of Exercise. While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 1 above, the Holder
may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by: 
  

	 	(i)	the surrender of the Warrant, together with a notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal offices; and 


 

	 	(ii)	the payment to the Corporation of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares being purchased. 


3. Net Exercise. In lieu of cash exercising this Warrant, the Holder may elect to receive 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 Corporation together with notice of such election, in which event the Corporation shall issue to the Holder a number of shares computed using
the following formula: 
  

			
		  	Y x (A - B)
	 N =
	  	A

  

			
	Where	 	
		
	N =	 	The number of shares to be issued to the Holder.
	Y =	 	The number of shares purchasable under this Warrant.
	A =	 	The fair market value of one share.
	B =	 	The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).

 For purposes of this Section 3, the fair market value of a share shall mean the average of the closing bid and asked
prices of shares quoted in the over-the-counter market in which the shares are traded or the closing price quoted on any exchange on which the shares are listed, whichever is applicable, for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date of
determination of fair market value (or such shorter period of time during which such stock was traded over-the-counter or on such exchange). If the shares are not traded on the over-the-counter market or on an exchange, the fair market value shall
be the price per share that the Corporation could obtain from a willing buyer for shares sold by the Corporation from authorized but unissued shares, as such prices shall be determined in good faith by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

 4. Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more
certificates for the number of shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within ten (10) days of the delivery of the subscription notice. 

5. Issuance of Shares. The Corporation covenants that the shares, when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be
duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, hypothecs and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. 
 6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as follows: 
 (a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Corporation shall at any time prior to
the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its shares, or issue additional shares of its shares as a dividend, the number of shares issuable on the exercise


  
 17 









 
of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments
shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 6(a) shall
become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend. 

(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the
capital stock of the Corporation (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 6(a) above), then the Corporation shall make appropriate provision so that the Holder shall have the right at any
time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such
reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of shares as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with
respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be
made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. 
 (c)
Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Corporation shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the
number of shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant. 
 7. No Fractional
Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Corporation shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the
Exercise Price then in effect. 
 8. Representations of the Corporation. The Corporation represents that all corporate
actions on the part of the Corporation, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the sale and issuance of this Warrant have been taken. 
 9. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall in writing and faxed, mailed or delivered to each party at the
respective addresses of the parties as set forth in the Subscription Agreement, or at such other address or facsimile number as the Corporation shall have furnished to the Holder in writing. All such notices and communications will be deemed
effectively given the earlier of (i) when received, (ii) when delivered personally, (iii) one business day after being delivered by facsimile (with receipt of appropriate confirmation), (iv) two business days after being
deposited with an overnight courier service of recognized standing or (v) four days after being deposited with US Post, first class with postage prepaid. 
 10. Legend. The certificate or certificates representing Shares issued upon an exercise of the Warrants shall bear the language contained in the first two paragraphs of the legend appearing on the
first page of this certificate. 
 11. Governing Law. This Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware and the laws of United States of America applicable therein.
