THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE
EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE
SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, DONATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
WITHOUT COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, IX ENERGY
HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the " Company "),
hereby agrees to sell upon the terms and on the
conditions hereinafter set forth, but no later than 5:30 p.m.,
Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined)
to_________ or registered assigns (the " Holder "), under
the terms as hereinafter set forth,_____(_______) fully paid and
non-assessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the " Warrant Stock "), at a purchase
price of FIFTY CENTS ($0.50) per share (the " Warrant Price
"), pursuant to this warrant (this " Warrant
"). The number of shares of Warrant Stock to be so issued and the
Warrant Price are subject to adjustment in certain events as
hereinafter set forth. The term " Common Stock "
shall mean, when used herein, unless the context
otherwise requires, the stock and other securities and property at
the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
1. Exercise
of Warrant .
a. The Holder
may exercise this Warrant according to its terms by surrendering
this Warrant to the Company at the address set forth in Section 9,
the Notice of Exercise attached hereto having then been duly
executed by the Holder, accompanied by cash, certified check or
bank draft in payment of the purchase price, in lawful money of the
United States of America, for the number of shares of the Warrant
Stock specified in the Notice of Exercise, or as otherwise provided
in this Warrant, prior to 5:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on
_____________________,2011 (the " Expiration Date
").
b.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if
at any time after twelve (12) months from the date of issuance of
this Warrant there is no effective registration statement
registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of
all of the shares of Warrant Stock issuable hereunder, then the
Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole
or in part by means of a "cashless exercise" in lieu of making a
cash payment, and the Holder shall then be entitled to receive a
certificate for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
|
(A)
|
= VWAP (as defined below) on the business day
immediately preceding the date of such election;
|
|
(B)
|
= the Warrant Price of this Warrant, as
adjusted; and
|
|
(X)
|
= the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless
exercise.
|
For purposes of this Warrant, "
VWAP " means, for any date, the price
determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a)
if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market
(as defined below), the daily volume weighted average price of the
Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to such date (or
the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the
Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P.
(based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. New York City time to 4:02
p.m. New York City time); (b) if the OTC Bulletin Board is not a
Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common
Stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to such date (or the
nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board; (c) if the
Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board
and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the "Pink
Sheets" published by Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or
agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the
average bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported for the
twenty (20) trading days prior to such date; or (d) in all other
cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as
determined in good faith by the Company's board of directors. For
purposes of this Warrant, " Trading Market "
means the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock
is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the
American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq
Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock
Exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board.
c. This Warrant
may be exercised in whole or in part so long as any exercise in
part hereof would not involve the issuance of fractional shares of
Warrant Stock. If exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to
the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form, in the name of the
Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number of shares of
Warrant Stock as to which this Warrant has not been exercised,
which new Warrant shall be signed by the Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer or President and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of
the Company. The term Warrant as used herein shall include any
subsequent Warrant issued as provided herein.
d. No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall pay
cash in lieu of fractions with respect to the Warrants based upon
the fair market value of such fractional shares of Common Stock
(which shall be the closing price of such shares on the exchange or
market on which the Common Stock is then traded) at the time of
exercise of this Warrant.
e. In the event
of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a
certificate or certificates for the Warrant Stock so purchased,
registered in the name of the Holder, shall be delivered to the
Holder within a reasonable time after such rights shall have been
so exercised. The person or entity in whose name any certificate
for the Warrant Stock is issued upon exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to
have become the holder of record of such shares immediately prior
to the close of business on the date on which the Warrant was
surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price and any applicable
taxes was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such
certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment
is 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 opening of business on the next succeeding date on
which the stock transfer books are open. The Company shall pay any
and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes
payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common
Stock on exercise of this Warrant.
2.
Disposition of Warrant Stock and Warrant .
a. The Holder
hereby acknowledges that this Warrant and any Warrant Stock
purchased pursuant hereto are, as of the date hereof, not
registered: (i) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt
from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act as not involving
any public offering or (ii) under any applicable state securities
law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any
public offering; and that the Company's reliance on the Section
4(2) exemption of the Act and under applicable state securities
laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to
the Company by the Holder that it is acquiring this Warrant and
will acquire the Warrant Stock for investment for its own account,
with no present intention of dividing its participation with others
or reselling or otherwise distributing the same, subject,
nevertheless, to any requirement of law that the disposition of its
property shall at all times be within its control.
The Holder hereby agrees that it
will not sell or transfer all or any part of this Warrant and/or
Warrant Stock unless and until it shall first have given notice to
the Company describing such sale or transfer and furnished to the
Company either (i) an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel
for the Company, of counsel (skilled in securities matters,
selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company)
to the effect that the proposed sale or transfer may be made
without registration under the Act and without registration or
qualification under any state law, or (ii) an interpretative letter
from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that no
enforcement action will be recommended if the proposed sale or
transfer is made without registration under the Act.
b. If, at the
time of issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, no registration statement is in effect with respect to
such shares under applicable provisions of the Act, the Company may
at its election require that the Holder provide the Company with
written reconfirmation of the Holder's investment intent and that
any stock certificate delivered to the Holder of a surrendered
Warrant shall bear legends reading substantially as
follows:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT
BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE
ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF
THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID
ACT."
In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may
remain on any stock certificate delivered to the Holder, the
Company may maintain appropriate "stop transfer" orders with
respect to such certificates and the shares represented thereby on
its books and records and with those to whom it may delegate
registrar and transfer functions.
3.
Reservation of Shares . The Company hereby agrees that at
all times there shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of
this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be
required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company
further agrees that all shares which may be issued upon the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will be duly
authorized and will, upon issuance and against payment of the
exercise price, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable,
free from all taxes, liens, charges and preemptive rights with
respect to the issuance thereof, other than taxes, if any, in
respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issuance and other than transfer restrictions imposed by federal
and state securities laws.
4.
Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant . This Warrant
is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon
presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office
of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of
different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to
purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the
Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with
the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without
charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the
assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant
shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined
with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation
hereof at the office of the Company or at the office of its stock
transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying
the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued
and signed by the Holder hereof.
5. Capital
Adjustments . This Warrant is subject to the following further
provisions:
a.
Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock . If and whenever
on or after the date hereof and through the earlier to occur of (i)
first anniversary of the date hereof and (ii) date that there is an
effective registration statement on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission covering the resale of all of the shares of
Warrant Stock and all of the shares of Common Stock issued in the
Offering (as defined in the Company's Confidential Private
Placement Memorandum dated August 22, 2008, as supplemented to
date), the Company issues or sells any shares of Common Stock or
securities convertible into Common Stock, other than an Exempt
Issuance (as defined below), for a consideration per share of
Common Stock (the " New Issuance Price ") less than a price
equal to $0.50 (subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock
dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or
similar transaction after the date hereof) (a " Dilutive
Issuance "), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the
Warrant Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to
the New Issuance Price. For purposes of this Warrant, " Exempt
Issuance " shall mean the issuance of (a) shares
of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors, or
consultants of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan
duly adopted for such purpose by a majority of the non-employee
members of the Bo
