WARRANT TO
PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
of
CHROMADEX CORPORATION
This certifies that, for
value received, [_______________________________], or its
registered assigns (“ Holder ”), is entitled,
subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from ChromaDex
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company
”), shares (the “ Warrant Shares ”) of
Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (“
Common Stock ”), subject to adjustment as set forth
herein, at an exercise price (the “ Exercise Price
”) of $3.00 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment as set
forth herein. This Warrant is one of a number of similar Warrants
being issued by the Company in connection with the Company’s
assumption and continuation of its wholly owned subsidiaries
offering of securities pursuant to the terms of the Confidential
Private Placement Memorandum dated December 20, 2007 and all
supplements and amendments thereto (the “ PPM
”).
1. Term of
Warrant . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
this Warrant shall only be exercisable, in whole or in part, during
the period (the “ Exercise Period ”) beginning
on the date hereof (the “ Effective Date ”) and
ending on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date.
a. Subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder in whole
or in part, at any time, or from time to time, during the Exercise
Period, by the surrender of this Warrant and a notice of exercise
in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “
Notice of Exercise ”) duly completed and executed by
or on behalf of the Holder, at the principal executive office of
the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it
may designate by notice in writing to the Holder), and upon payment
of the Exercise Price for each of the Warrant Shares to be issued
pursuant to such exercise (i) in cash or other immediately
available funds or (ii) by a cashless exercise in accordance
with Section 2(c). This Warrant may not be exercised for less
than 500 Warrant Shares at a time (or such lesser number of Warrant
Shares which may then constitute the maximum number purchasable
pursuant to this Warrant); such number being subject to adjustment
for stock splits, stock dividends, mergers, reclassifications,
recapitalizations and the like, occurring on or after the date
hereof.
b. This Warrant
shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the
close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as
provided above, and the person entitled to receive the Warrant
Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all
purposes as the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the
close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or
after such date and in any event within 20 days thereafter,
the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the person or
persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates
for the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. In
the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company at
its expense will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor
exercisable for the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant
may then be exercised.
c. Notwithstanding
any provisions herein to the contrary, in lieu of exercising this
Warrant through the payment of the Exercise Price with cash or
other immediately available funds, the Holder may elect to receive
Warrant Shares with a value equal to the value (as determined
below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by
surrender of this Warrant together with the properly endorsed
Notice of Exercise and notice of such election in which event the
Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Warrant Shares
computed using the following formula:

the number of

Price

For purposes of the above
calculation, the fair market value of one Warrant Share shall mean,
if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange,
the Nasdaq Market System or the over-the-counter market, the
average of the last reported sales price on the trading day
immediately preceding the date of valuation at which the Common
Stock has traded on such national securities exchange, the Nasdaq
Market System or the average of the bid and asked prices on the
over-the-counter market on the date of valuation. If the Common
Stock is not publicly traded, the fair market value per Warrant
Share shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company
based upon the fair market value of the Warrant Share if the
Company were to be sold as a going concern and without regard to
any discount for the lack of liquidity or on the basis that the
relevant securities do not constitute a majority or controlling
interest in the Company.
3. No Fractional
Shares or Scrip . No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip
representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional Warrant Shares
to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall
make a cash payment equal to the fair market value (as defined
above) of one Warrant Share multiplied by such fraction.
4. Replacement
of Warrant . On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in
lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and
amount.
5. Rights as
Stockholders . The Holder, as a holder of this Warrant, shall
not be deemed the holder of Warrant Shares for any purpose, nor
shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the
Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company
or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any
matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give
or withhold consent to any corporate action or to receive notice of
meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or
otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised as provided
herein.
a. Warrant
Register . The Company will maintain a register (the “
Warrant Register ”) containing the names and addresses
of the Holder or Holders. Any Holder of this Warrant or any portion
thereof may change its address as shown on the Warrant Register by
written notice to the Company requesting such change. Any notice or
written communication required or permitted to be given to the
Holder may be delivered or given by mail to such Holder as shown on
the Warrant Register and at the address shown on the Warrant
Register. Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register
of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the
Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all
purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
b.
Transferability and Nonnegotiability of Warrant . This
Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part
without compliance with (i) Section 4 (Right of First
Refusal) of the Subscription Agreement dated _______________,
200__, by and between Holder and the Company, and (ii) all
applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and
the transferee (including the delivery of investment representation
letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
if such are requested by the Company). Subject to such compliance,
title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement by the
Holder executing the assignment form attached hereto as Annex
B (the “ Assignment Form ”) and delivery in
the same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by
endorsement and delivery.

c. Exchange of
Warrant Upon a Transfer . Upon surrender of this Warrant for
exchange, properly endorsed on the Assignment Form and subject to
compliance with the other provisions of this Section 6, the
Company at its expense shall issue to or on the order of the
transferee a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of
the transferee or as the transferee may direct, for the number of
Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise hereof.
7. Reservation
of Shares . The Company covenants that, during the term this
Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number
of shares of Common Stock to provide for the issuance of all
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and, from
time to time,
