NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the premises herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto (intending to be legally bound) hereby agree as follows:

 

1.   Definitions. Terms capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby.

 

2.   Amendments to Loan Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Borrower, Guarantor, Agent and Lenders hereby amend the Loan Agreement as follows:

 

(a) Section 1.21 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(b) Exhibit B to the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated as Exhibit B attached to this Amendment.

 

(c) After Section 11.1 (d), the following shall be added:

 


 

(e) the day following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default that is either not cured nor waived by the Lenders within the applicable cure period, Guarantor shall issue the Default Warrants to each of the Lenders.

 

3.   Condition Precedent. The amendment contained in Section 2 hereof is subject to, and contingent upon, the prior or contemporaneous satisfaction of the following condition precedent: the Borrower, Guarantor, Agent and Lenders shall have executed and delivered to each other this Amendment.

 

4.   Reference to and Effect on the Loan Agreement.

 

(a)   Except as expressly provided herein, the Loan Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents shall remain unmodified and continue in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

 

(b)   Except as expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of: (i) any right, power or remedy of the Lenders under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (ii) any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.

 

5.   Representations and Warranties of the Borrower and Guarantor. Each of Borrower and Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders, which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery hereof, that on and as of the date hereof and after giving effect to this Amendment:

 

(a)   It has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Amendment. This Amendment has been duly authorized by all necessary action of it.

(b)   The Agent’s failure, at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by the Borrower of any provision or term of the Loan Agreement, this Amendment or the other Loan Documents shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of the Lender hereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver by the Lender of a breach of this Amendment or any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, suspend, waive or affect any other breach of this Amendment or any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different kind or character.

Warrant No. XXXX

  

Original Issue Date: __________________

 

HYDROGEN CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for value received, [Lender] or its permitted registered assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of 870,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “ Common Stock ”), of the Company (each such share, a “ Warrant Share ” and all such shares, the “ Warrant Shares ”) at an exercise price per share equal to $0.01 (the “ Exercise Price ”), at any time and from time to time from and after the Trigger Date (as defined below) and through and including [FIVE YEARS FROM THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE] (the “ Expiration Date ”), and subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated August 22, 2008, as amended or restated from time to time, by and among the Company, HydroGen L.L.C., Federated Kaufmann Fund, a portfolio of Federated Equity Funds, as Agent for Federated Kaufmann Fund and Samsung C&T Corporation (the “ Loan and Security Agreement ”). The Warrants and Warrant Shares shall be referred to herein collectively as the “ Securities.”

 

1.   Definitions . In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Security and Loan Agreement.

  

2.   List of Warrant Holders . 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 (which shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder 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.

 

3.   List of Transfers .

 

(a)   This Warrant is subject to the restrictions noted in the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant.

 

-1-


(b) The Company shall register any such transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon (i) surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified in Section 13 hereof and (ii) if a registration statement is not effective, (x) delivery, at the request of the Company, of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the transfer of such portion of this Warrant may be made pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or blue sky laws and (y) delivery by the transferee of a written statement to the Company certifying that the transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and making the representations and certifications set forth below in Section 3(c), 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 in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Holder desires to transfer this Warrant to a non-affiliate after the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company to register for offer and sale the Warrant Shares, then such transferee shall not be entitled to the registration rights associated with the underlying Warrant Shares but shall be entitled to all other rights as a Holder hereunder, including the right to exercise this Warrant on a “cashless” exercise basis pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof.

 

(c)   Any transferee of the Warrant shall represent and warrant to the Company the following:

 

(i) Investment Intent . Such transferee understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities and, upon exercise of the Warrant will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, as principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to such transferee's right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such transferee to hold the Securities for any period of time. Such transferee is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such transferee does not have any agreement, plan or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities. 

 

(ii) Purchaser Status . At the time such transferee was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises the Warrants it will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Such transferee is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

 

(iii) General Solicitation . Such transferee is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

 

4.   Exercise and Duration of Warrants .

 

(a)   All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the Trigger Date (as defined below) and through and including the Expiration Date.

 

(b)   As used in this Agreement, the following term shall have the respective meaning:

 

(i) “Trigger Date” shall mean the day following the occurrence and existence of an Event of Default
