FORM OF WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

Warrant No.: WC-[      ]

Number of Shares of Common Stock: [              ]

Date of Issuance: December [      ], 2008 (“ Issuance Date ”)

IOU Central Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [              ], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (“ Warrants ”) issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “ Warrant ”), (i) at any time or times on or after one (1) year of employment from the date hereof, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), the First Half Amount (as defined below) of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”), and (ii) at any time or times on or after two (2) years of employment from the date hereof, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on the Expiration Date, the Second Half Amount (as defined below) of the Warrant Shares; provided , that if the Holder is terminated without Cause (as defined below) or resigns with Good Reason (as defined below) prior to the second anniversary of the date hereof, the employment requirements set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) will be deemed satisfied and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise the Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof with respect to the First Half Amount and the Second Half Amount (as determined in accordance with the definitions of such terms). This Warrant is not, and shall not be, an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 14 .


1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT .

(a) Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at the times provided in the paragraph immediately preceding this Section 1 in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, (ii) delivery of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder if such Holder delivers a copy of this Warrant, together with a lost document affidavit and other documentation required by Section 6(b) below), and (iii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d) ). Upon an exercise of this Warrant as to less than all of the Warrant Shares, Holder shall surrender the document evidencing this Warrant, and the Company shall promptly (and in all events within two Business Days) issue a new document evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the second (2 nd ) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice, the Warrant and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the “ Exercise Delivery Documents ”), the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the third (3 rd ) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents or notification to the Company of a Cashless Exercise referred to in Section 1(d) , 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 of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, although fractional share interests may be cumulated. The Company shall pay any and all transfer taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided , that the Company shall not be required to pay any transfer tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in any name other than that of the Holder, in either case with respect to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Exercise Price . For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exercise Price ” means $0.22 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities . If within three (3) trading days after the Company’s receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents the Company shall fail to issue


and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s exercise hereunder, and if on or after such third (3rd) trading day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.

(d) Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, 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

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

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

B = the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date 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.

(e) Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 11 .

2. ADJUSTMENTS . Subject to Section 3(b) below, upon (or, as may be necessary to effect the adjustment, immediately prior to): any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a stock split in the form of a stock dividend) or reverse stock split; any merger, combination, consolidation, or other reorganization; any split-up, spin-off, or similar extraordinary dividend distribution in respect of the Common Stock; or any exchange of


Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or any similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in respect of the Common Stock; then the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) shall equitably and proportionately adjust (1) the number, amount and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to this Warrant, (2) the exercise price of this Warrant, and/or (3) the securities, cash or other property deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant, in each case to the extent necessary to preserve (but not increase) the level of incentives intended by this Warrant. It is intended that, if possible, any adjustments contemplated by the preceding paragraph be made in a manner that satisfies applicable legal, tax (including, without limitation and as applicable in the circumstances, Section 424 of the Code and Section 409A of the Code) and accounting (so as to not trigger any charge to earnings with respect to such adjustment) requirements. Any good faith determination by the Board as to whether an adjustment is required in the circumstances pursuant to this Section 2 , and the extent and nature of any such adjustment, shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

3. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS .

(a) Purchase Rights . If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, upon the Holder’s election, the aggregate Purchase Rights, which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(b) Fundamental Transactions . The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(b) pursuant to written agreements, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an exercise price and a number of shares of capital stock as adjusted in accordance with Section 2 hereof. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity, if other than the Company, shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein, until such time as any successor warrant is delivered. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “ Corporate Event ”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration


Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.

4. NONCIRCUMVENTION . The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its charter, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other
