THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT for

(hereinafter called the “ Holder ”) is
entitled to purchase from SunFuels, Inc., a Colorado corporation
(hereinafter called the “ Company ”), the
above referenced number of fully paid and nonassessable shares (the
“ Shares ”) of common stock, no par value
(the “ Common Stock ”) of Company, at the
Warrant Price per Share referenced above; the number of shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant referenced above being
subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein. This
Warrant is issued in connection with that certain Subscription
Agreement dated as of January 26, 2007, by and among the
Company and M.A.G. Capital, LLC, Mercator Momentum Fund, LP,
Mercator Momentum Fund III, LP, the accredited investors
signatories thereto, and Holder. The exercise of this Warrant shall
be subject to the provisions, limitations and restrictions
contained herein.
Term and Exercise
.
Term . This Warrant is
exercisable in whole or in part (but not as to any fractional share
of Common Stock), at any time and from time to time after the date
that is six months after the Issuance Date but prior to 6:00 p.m.
(New York Time) on the Expiration Date set forth above.
Warrant Price . The
Warrant shall be exercisable at the Warrant Price referenced
above.
Maximum Number of Shares .
The maximum number of Shares of Common Stock exercisable pursuant
to this Warrant is 564,815 Shares, subject to adjustment as set
forth herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
no event shall the Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant for
a number of Shares greater than the number that would cause the
aggregate beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock
(calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) of the Holder and all persons affiliated with
the Holder to equal 9.99% or more of the Company’s Common
Stock then outstanding; provided that the Holder shall be
responsible for any calculation required for compliance with such
9.99% limit.
Procedure for Exercise of
Warrant . Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering
the following to the principal office of the Company in accordance
with Section 5.1 hereof: (i) a duly executed Notice of
Exercise in substantially the form attached as Schedule A,
(ii) payment of the Warrant Price then in effect for each of
the Shares being purchased, as designated in the Notice of
Exercise, and (iii) this Warrant. Payment of the Warrant Price
may be in cash, certified or official bank check payable to the
order of the Company, or wire transfer of funds to the
Company’s account (or any combination of any of the
foregoing) in the amount of the Warrant Price for each share being
purchased.
Delivery of Certificate and New
Warrant . In the event of any exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased, registered in the name of the
Holder or such other name or names as may be designated by the
Holder, together with any other securities or other property which
the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant,
shall be delivered to the Holder hereof, at the Company’s
expense, within a reasonable time, not exceeding five
(5) trading days, after the rights represented by this Warrant
shall have been so exercised; and, unless this Warrant has expired,
a new Warrant representing the number of Shares (except a remaining
fractional share), if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall
not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder
hereof within such time. The person in whose name any certificate
for shares of Common Stock is issued upon exercise of this Warrant
shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of
record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was
surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was received by the
Company, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate,
except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is on a date
when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such
person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Shares at
the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the
stock transfer books are open.
Restrictive Legend . Each
certificate for Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the form as follows, together with any additional
legend required by (i) any applicable state securities laws
and (ii) any securities exchange upon which such Shares may,
at the time of such exercise, be listed:
“The shares represented
by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended and may not be sold, offered for sale,
transferred or pledged in the absence of such registration or an
exemption therefrom under such Act.”
Any certificate issued at any time in
exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend
shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel for
the Holder thereof (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Company), the securities represented thereby are not, at
such time, required by law to bear such legend.
Fractional Shares . No
fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of
the Warrant. If a fractional share interest arises upon any
exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall round up
the number of Shares to be issued to the nearest whole Share and
the Holder shall increase the consideration due upon exercise by an
amount computed by multiplying such fractional interest by the
Warrant Price of a full Share then in effect.
Representations, Warranties and
Covenants .
Representations and Warranties
.
The Company is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its state of incorporation and has all necessary power and
authority to perform its obligations under this Warrant;
The execution, delivery and
performance of this Warrant has been duly authorized by all
necessary actions on the part of the Company and constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms; and
This Warrant does not violate
and is not in conflict with any of the provisions of the
Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation,
Certificate of Designations, Bylaws and any resolutions of the
Company’s Board of Directors or stockholders, or any
agreement of the Company, and no event has occurred and no
condition or circumstance exists that might (with or without notice
or lapse of time) constitute or result directly or indirectly in
such a violation or conflict.
Issuance of Shares . The
Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that
may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issue thereof and shall be listed on any exchanges
on which the Common Stock is then listed. The Company further
covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and
all federal and state taxes which may be payable in respect of the
issue of this Warrant or any Common Stock or certificates therefor
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant excluding the
Holder’s income and other taxes not directly relating to the
issuance of the Warrant or Common Stock. The Company further
covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times have
authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise in
full of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the
Company shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of the
Warrant in full, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 1.3 hereto, then the Company will take all such
corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company,
be necessary or advisable to increase the number of its authorized
shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to permit the
exercise of the Warrant in full, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 1.3 hereto, including without limitation,
using its best efforts to obtain any necessary stockholder approval
of such increase. The Company further covenants and agrees that if
any shares of capital stock to be reserved for the purpose of the
issuance of shares upon the exercise of this Warrant require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under
any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued
or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will in good faith and
as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration
or approval, as the case may be. If and so long as the Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant is listed on any
national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, the
Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or market,
list and keep listed on such exchange or market, upon official
notice of issuance, all shares of such Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant.

Shares . In case the Company shall at any time subdivide
