Item 5.     Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.


On August 2, 2004 Xstream Beverage Group, Inc. sold 43.2 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to nine accredited investors and issued the purchasers Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrants in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2) of that act and Rule 506 of Regulation D. We received gross proceeds of $2,160,000. We will use the net proceeds of this offering for general working capital.


Series B Convertible Preferred Stock


The designations, rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred provide:


*

the shares have a liquidation preference of $50,000 per share,


*

the shares of our Series B Preferred are convertible into shares of our common stock equal to the liquidation preference divided by the conversion price of $1.50 per share.  The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and combinations, dividends or distributions, reclassifications or reorganizations, or in the event we issue or sell any additional shares of common stock or other securities which are convertible into common stock or common stock equivalents at a price less than the then current conversion price. Holders are restricted in their ability to convert the Series B Preferred into common stock if at the time of conversion the number of shares of common stock to be issued, together with all other shares of common stock owned by the holder, would result in the holder owning in excess of either 4.9% or 9.9% of t he then issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, subject to a waiver by the holder of these limitations upon 61 days notice to us,


*

the holders have the right to require us to redeem all or a portion of the shares the Series B Preferred under certain circumstances, including:


*

upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction (as that term is defined in the designations of the Series B Preferred). In this event, the redemption price would be equal to 100% of the liquidation preference plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, and

 

*

upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event ( as that term is defined in the designations of the Series B Preferred). In this event, the redemption price would be equal to 120% of the amount of the liquidation preference plus all accrued but unpaid dividends.


Upon either occurrence, at our discretion we can pay the redemption price in cash or shares of common stock based upon the then current conversion price,


*

on the date which is 42 months from the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred, at the option of the holder we are required to redeem the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred into such number of shares of our common stock as equal the liquidation preference




2







plus all accrued but unpaid dividends divided by the conversion price then in effect, or for cash at a price equal to the number of shares of common stock each holder would be entitled to receive at the conversion price then in effect multiplied by $1.85,


*

so long as the Series B Preferred is outstanding, without the consent of the holders of at least ¾ of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred we cannot:


*

amend the provisions of the Series B Preferred,

*

repurchase, redeem or pay any dividends on our common stock or any other securities which rank junior to the Series B Preferred,

*

amend our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws in a manner which would materially and adversely any right of the Series B Preferred,

*

make any distribution with respect to any junior security,

*

voluntarily file for bankruptcy, liquidate our assets or make an assignment for the benefit of our creditors,

*

change the nature of our business, or

*

so long as at least $1,500,000 of the Series B Preferred is outstanding (which represents 30 shares), we cannot authorize or create any class of securities which ranks senior to our pari passu with the Series B Preferred


Other than in the foregoing instances, the Series B Preferred has no voting rights.


*

it ranks senior to our common stock and to all other classes of our securities which do not specifically provide that they are senior to our Series B, but subordinate to all of our indebtness, and


*

it pays cumulative semi-annual dividends of 6% per annum, payable at our option in cash, registered shares of our common stock or additional shares of our Series B Preferred. If we choose to pay the dividends in registered shares of our common stock, the shares are valued at the then conversion price of the Series B Preferred and if we choose to pay the dividends in shares of Series B Preferred, those shares are valued at the liquidation preference of the stock.


Common Stock Purchase Warrants


We issued the purchasers of the Series B Preferred two series of five year common stock purchase warrants. The Series A Warrants are exercisable into a number of shares of our common stock equal to 100% of the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The Series B Warrants are exercisable into a number of shares of our common stock equal to 50% of the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. All other terms of the warrants are identical, and include:


*

the warrants are transferable at the discretion of the holder,

*

the number of shares underlying the warrant and the exercise price of each warrant are subject to adjustment in the event of recapitalization, reorganization,




3







reclassifications, consolidations, mergers or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets or properties, stock dividends, subdivisions and combinations and distributions as well as issuance of additional shares of our common stock or any common stock equivalents (as that term is defined in the warrant) at a price less than the then current exercise price of the warrant or if we purchase any shares of our common stock at a price greater than the market value or the current exercise price,


*

holders are restricted in their ability to exercise the warrants if at the time of exercise the number of shares of common stock to be issued, together with all other shares of common stock owned by the holder, would result in the holder owning in excess of either 4.9% or 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, subject to a waiver by the holder of these limitations upon 61 days notice to us, and


*

beginning 12 months from the effective date of the registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants at our option upon 20 days notice we can call up to 100% of the warrants at $0.01 per share if the market value of our common stock has been greater than 400% of the conversion price then in effect for our Series B Preferred for 20 trading days immediately preceding the call notice, subject to certain requirements.


Other terms of the offering


HC Wainwright & Co. acted as placement agent for us in this offering and we paid that firm a 10% cash commission ($216,000) and five year common stock purchase warrants to purchase 228,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. In connection with the transaction, we also agreed to pay the attorney's fees of the purchasers in an amount not to exceed $35,000. We also granted the purchasers a three year right of first offer and refusal for certain subsequent financings, other than those we may enter into with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. or any entity which Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. may introduce to us.


We also granted the purchasers registration rights covering the shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred and the exercise of the Series A and Series B warrants, including the shares underlying the warrants issued to the placement agent (the "Registrable Securities"). We have agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days of the closing of this offering which, when declared effective, will permit the public resale of the Registrable Securities. If we should fail to file the registration statement on a timely basis or if the registration statement is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within 120 days from its filing date, or in certain other instances specified in the registration rights agreement, we are required to pay th e holders liquidated damages equal to 2% of their initial investment for the first month or any portion of that month and thereafter 1.25% for each successive month or any portion of that month until the registration statement is effective or we have cured the other events of default.

EX-3.1 2 designationrights-31.txt DESIGNATION OF RIGHTS EXHIBIT 3.1 CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF THE RELATIVE RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES OF THE SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OF XSTREAM BEVERAGE GROUP, INC. The undersigned, the Chief Executive Officer of XStream Beverage Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), in accordance with the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, does hereby certify that, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the following resolution creating a series of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, was duly adopted on July 28, 2004: RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the Company by provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the "Articles of Incorporation"), there hereby is created out of the shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company authorized in Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation (the "Preferred Stock"), a series of Preferred Stock of the Company, to be named "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock," consisting of eighty (80) shares, which series shall have the following designations, powers, preferences and relative and other special rights and the following qualifications, limitations and restrictions: 1. Designation and Rank. The designation of such series of the Preferred Stock shall be the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"). The maximum number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be eighty (80) shares. Except for the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, the Series B Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and to all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company which by their terms do not rank senior to the Series B Preferred Stock ("Junior Stock"). The Series B Preferred Stock shall be subordinate to and rank junior to all indebtedness of the Company now or hereafter outstanding. The Series B Preferred Stock shall have a term of forty-two (42) months (the "Maturity Date"). 2. Dividends. (a) Payment of Dividends. The holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of any assets at the time legally available therefor and when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends at the rate of six percent (6%) of the stated Liquidation Preference Amount (as defined in Section 4 hereof) per share per annum commencing on the date of issuance (the "Issuance Date") of the Series B Preferred Stock (the "Dividend Payment"), and no more, payable semi-annually at the option of the Company in cash, shares of Series B Preferred Stock or registered shares of Common Stock. If the Company elects to pay any dividend in registered shares of Common Stock, the number of registered shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder shall be an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the Dividend Payment divided by (ii) the then effective Conversion Price (as defined in Section 5(d) hereof). If the Company elects to pay any dividend in shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be issued to the holder shall be an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the Dividend Payment divided by (ii) the Liquidation Preference Amount (as defined in Section 4(a) hereof); provided, that, the Company may only elect to pay any dividend in shares of Series B Preferred Stock if the amount of such shares shall not be less than one-tenth of one share of Series B Preferred Stock or a multiple of one-tenth of one share of Series B Preferred Stock. If the Company elects or is required to pay any dividend in Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, the Company will give the holders of record of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock ten (10) trading days notice prior to the date of the applicable Dividend Payment. In the case of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding for less than a full year, dividends shall be pro rated based on the portion of each year during which such shares are outstanding. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be cumulative, shall accrue and be payable semi-annually. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any distribution (as defined below) on any outstanding shares of Junior Stock. Such dividends shall accrue on each share of Series B Preferred Stock from day to day whether or not earned or declared so that if such dividends with respect to any previous dividend period at the rate provided for herein have not been paid on, or declared and set apart for, all shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the deficiency shall be fully paid on, or declared and set apart for, such shares on a pro rata basis with all other equity securities of the Company ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends before any distribution shall be paid on, or declared and set apart for Junior Stock. (b) So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or make any distribution on any Junior Stock (other than dividends or distributions payable in additional shares of Junior Stock), unless at the time of such dividend or distribution the Company shall have paid all accrued and unpaid dividends on the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. (c) In the event of a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company pursuant to Section 4, all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be payable on the day immediately preceding the date of payment of the preferential amount to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. In the event of (i) a mandatory redemption pursuant to Section 9 or (ii) a redemption upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction (as defined in Section 8(c)) or a Triggering Event (as defined in Section 8(d)), all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be payable on the day immediately preceding the date of such redemption. In the event of a conversion pursuant to Section 5(a), all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock being converted shall be payable on the day immediately preceding the Conversion Date (as defined in Section 5(b)(i)). (d) For purposes hereof, unless the context otherwise requires, "distribution" shall mean the transfer of cash or property without consideration, whether by way of dividend or otherwise, payable other than in shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company, or the purchase or redemption of shares of the Company (other than redemptions set 2 forth in Section 8 below or repurchases of Common Stock held by employees or consultants of the Company upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase or upon the cashless exercise of options held by employees or consultants) for cash or property. 3. Voting Rights. (a) Class Voting Rights. The Series B Preferred Stock shall have the following class voting rights (in addition to the voting rights set forth in Section 3(b) hereof). So long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting, in which the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock vote separately as a class: (i) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Series B Preferred Stock, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock; provided, however, that any creation and issuance of another series of Junior Stock shall not be deemed to adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers; (ii) repurchase, redeem or pay dividends on, shares of Common Stock or any other shares of the Company's Junior Stock (other than de minimus repurchases from employees of the Company in certain circumstances); (iii) amend the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company so as to affect materially and adversely any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock; provided, however, that any creation and issuance of another series of Junior Stock shall not be deemed to adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers; (iv) effect any distribution with respect to Junior Stock; (v) reclassify the Company's outstanding securities; (vi) voluntarily file for bankruptcy, liquidate the Company's assets or make an assignment for the benefit of the Company's creditors; or (vii) change the nature of the Company's business. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, so long as at least $1,500,000 of Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company shall not authorize, create, issue or increase the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of stock ranking pari passu or senior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution or winding up without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at the time; provided, however, the foregoing sentence shall not apply to any transaction that the Company consummates with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. or any other entity that Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. may introduce to the Company. (b) General Voting Rights. Except with respect to transactions upon which the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote separately as a class pursuant to Section 3(a) above and except as otherwise required by Nevada law, the Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. The Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible shall, upon issuance, have all of the same voting rights as other issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. 3 4. Liquidation Preference. (a) In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, and provided that the Company's obligations to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. under certain agreements executed on May 14, 2004 are satisfied, then the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to $50,000 per share (the "Liquidation Preference Amount") of the Series B Preferred Stock plus any accrued and unpaid dividends before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Stock. If the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference Amount plus any accrued and unpaid dividends payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and any series of preferred stock or any other class of stock on a parity, as to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, with the Series B Preferred Stock, then all of said assets will be distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the other classes of stock on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, if any, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. The liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding fractional share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be equal to a ratably proportionate amount of the liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock. All payments for which this Section 4(a) provides shall be in cash, property (valued at its fair market value as determined by an independent appraiser reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock) or a combination thereof; provided, however, that no cash shall be paid to holders of Junior Stock unless each holder of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock has been paid in cash the full Liquidation Preference Amount plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to which such holder is entitled as provided herein. After payment of the full Liquidation Preference Amount plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to which each holder is entitled, such holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation as such in any distribution of the assets of the Company. (b) A consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the effectuation by the Company of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting shares of the Company is disposed of or conveyed, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up within the meaning of this Section 4. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Series B Preferred Stock shall maintain its relative powers, designations and preferences provided for herein and no merger shall result inconsistent therewith. (c) Written notice of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, stating a payment date and the place where the distributable amounts shall be payable, shall be given by mail, postage prepaid, no less than forty-five (45) days prior to the payment date stated therein, to the holders of record of the Series B Preferred Stock at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Company. 4 5. Conversion. The holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the following conversion rights (the "Conversion Rights"): (a) Right to Convert. At any time on or after the effective date of a registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (the "Registration Statement"), the holder of any such shares of Series B Preferred Stock may, at such holder's option, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7 herein, elect to convert (a "Conversion") all or any portion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such person into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference Amount of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 5(d) below) then in effect as of the date of the delivery by such holder of its notice of election to convert. In the event of a notice of redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Conversion Rights of the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption price is not paid on such redemption date, in which case the Conversion Rights for such shares shall continue until such price is paid in full. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. In the event of such a redemption or liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Company shall provide to each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock notice of such redemption or liquidation, dissolution or winding up, which notice shall (i) be sent at least fifteen (15) days prior to the termination of the Conversion Rights and (ii) state the amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock that will be paid or distributed on such redemption or liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be. (b) Mechanics of Conversion. The Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be conducted in the following manner: (i) Holder's Delivery Requirements. To convert Series B Preferred Stock into full shares of Common Stock on any date following the effective date of the Registration Statement (the "Conversion Date"), the holder thereof shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion Notice"), to the Company, and (B) surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such Conversion Date but in no event later than three (3) business days after such date the original certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of their loss, theft or destruction) (the "Preferred Stock Certificates") and the originally executed Conversion Notice. 5 (ii) Company's Response. Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall immediately send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such holder. Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of the fully executed Conversion Notice, the Company or its designated transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"), as applicable, shall, within three (3) business days following the date of receipt by the Company of the fully executed Conversion Notice (so long as the applicable Preferred Stock Certificates and original Conversion Notice are received by the Company on or before such third business day), issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") account on the Holder's behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System ("DWAC") as specified in the Conversion Notice, registered in the name of the holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company or its Transfer Agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder's behalf via DWAC if such conversion is in connection with a sale and such holder has complied with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements. If the number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion is greater than the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) business days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and at the Company's expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock not converted. (iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to promptly issue to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall submit the arithmetic calculations to the holder via facsimile as soon as possible, but in no event later than two (2) business days after receipt of such holder's Conversion Notice. If such holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion within one (1) business day of such disputed arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall within one (1) business day submit via facsimile the disputed arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion to the Company's independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the accountant to perform the calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than seventy-two (72) hours from the time it receives the disputed calculations. Such accountant's calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. The reasonable expenses of such accountant in making such determination shall be paid by the Company, in the event the holder's calculation was correct, or by the holder, in the event the Company's calculation was correct, or equally by the Company and the holder in the event that neither the Company's or the holder's calculation was correct. The period of time in which the Company is required to effect conversions or redemptions under this Certificate of Designation shall be tolled with respect to the subject conversion or redemption pending resolution of any dispute by the Company made in good faith and in accordance with this Section 5(b)(iii). 6 (iv) Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date. (v) Company's Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) business days of the Company's receipt of an executed copy of the Conversion Notice (so long as the applicable Preferred Stock Certificates and original Conversion Notice are received by the Company on or before such third business day) (the "Share Delivery Period") the Transfer Agent shall fail to issue and deliver to a holder the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or to issue a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) (a "Conversion Failure"), in addition to all other available remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") among the Company and the initial holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (including indemnification pursuant to Section 6 thereof), the Company shall pay additional damages to such holder on each business day after such third (3rd) business day that such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal 0.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the holder on a timely basis pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) and to which such holder is entitled and, in the event the Company has failed to deliver a Preferred Stock Certificate to the holder on a timely basis pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii), the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by such Preferred Stock Certificate, as of the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Preferred Stock Certificate to such holder without violating Section 5(b)(ii) and (B) the Closing Bid Price (as defined below) of the Common Stock on the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Common Stock and such Preferred Stock Certificate, as the case may be, to such holder without violating Section 5(b)(ii). If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 5(b)(v) within five (5) business days of the date incurred, then such payment shall bear interest at the rate of 2.0% per month (pro rated for partial months) until such payments are made. The term "Closing Bid Price" shall mean, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price of such security on the OTC Bulletin Board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security as reported in the "pink sheets" by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. 7 (c) Intentionally Omitted. (d) Conversion Price. The term "Conversion Price" shall mean $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment under Section 5(e) hereof. Notwithstanding any adjustment hereunder, at no time shall the Conversion Price be greater than $1.50 per share except if it is adjusted pursuant to Section 5(e)(i) hereof. (e) Adjustments of Conversion Price. (i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section 5(e)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination becomes effective. (ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the Conversion Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution. (iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Company which they would have received had their 8 Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 5(e)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and provided further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series B Preferred Stock simultaneously receive (i) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event or (ii) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Series B Preferred Stock which are convertible, as of the date of such event, into such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the number of additional shares of Common Stock being issued with respect to each share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution. (iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 5(e)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 5(e)(v)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share of Series B Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. (v) Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a capital reorganization of the Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in Section 5(e)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in Section 5(e)(iv)), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties or assets to any other person (an "Organic Change"), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made if necessary and provision shall be made if necessary (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter 9 to convert such share of Series B Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any successor corporation resulting from Organic Change. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5(e)(v) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of this Section 5(e)(v) (including any adjustment in the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable. (vi) Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company, shall, at any time, from time to time, issue or sell any additional shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible or exercisable into, or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (the "Additional Shares of Common Stock"), at a price per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect or without consideration, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to a price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Additional Shares of Common Stock. (vii) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If the Company, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock ("Convertible Securities"), other than the Series B Preferred Stock, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold (collectively, the "Common Stock Equivalents") and the aggregate of the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent, plus the consideration received by the Company for issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent (the "Aggregate Per Common Share Price") shall be less than the Conversion Price, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended or adjusted shall make the Aggregate Per Common Share Price be less than Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted pursuant to Section (5)(e)(vi). No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made under this subsection (vii) upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefore, if any adjustment shall previously have been made to the exercise price of such warrants then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to this subsection (vii). No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent where an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance or purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent. 10 (viii) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities other than the Series B Preferred Stock, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold: (1) in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefore shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or (2) in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. In the event any consideration received by the Company for any securities consists of property other than cash, the fair market value thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section (5)(e)(viii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. (ix) Record Date. In case the Company shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock or any other Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such record date. (x) Certain Issues Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price upon (A) the Company's issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock and warrants therefore in connection with a merger, acquisition or 11 consolidation, (B) the Company's issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than for cash) pursuant to a bona fide firm underwritten public offering of the Company's securities, (C) the Company's issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock or warrants therefore in connection with strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (D) the Company's issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company's stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans so long as the purchase price or exercise price of such securities is greater than the Conversion Price, (E) any issuances of warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (F) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date hereof or issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (G) any warrants issued to the placement agent for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and (H) the payment of any dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock. (f) No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock against impairment. In the event a holder shall elect to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such holder or any one associated or affiliated with such holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and/or adjoining conversion of all or of said shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have been issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such holder in an amount equal to 100% of the Liquidation Preference Amount of the Series B Preferred Stock such holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such holder in the event it obtains judgment. (g) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of such Series B Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request of the holder of such affected Series B Preferred Stock, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of such Series B Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such adjusted amount. 12 (h) Issue Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion. (i) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or by facsimile or three (3) business days following being mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return-receipt requested, addressed to the holder of record at its address appearing on the books of the Company. The Company will give written notice to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and in no event shall such notice be provided to such holder prior to such information being made known to the public. The Company will also give written notice to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up will take place and in no event shall such notice be provided to such holder prior to such information being made known to the public. (j) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of the Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive trading immediately preceding the Conversion Date or Maturity Date, as applicable. (k) Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall, so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding. The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Series B Preferred Stock and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each holder of record at the time of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be. In the event a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 13 each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and which remain allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Series B Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then held by such holder. (l) Retirement of Series B Preferred Stock. Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been effected on the applicable Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder at the expense of the Company, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered as required by Section 5(b)(ii). (m) Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of Series B Preferred Stock require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be. 6. No Preemptive Rights. Except as provided in Section 5 hereof and in the Purchase Agreement, no holder of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to rights to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any new or additional shares of any class, whether now or hereinafter authorized, or of bonds or debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class, but all such new or additional shares of any class, or any bond, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares, may be issued and disposed of by the Board of Directors on such terms and for such consideration (to the extent permitted by law), and to such person or persons as the Board of Directors in their absolute discretion may deem advisable. 7. Conversion Restrictions. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5 of this Certificate of Designation, at no time may a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock convert shares of the Series B Preferred Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such holder at such time, would result in such holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a holder of Series B Preferred Stock providing the Company with 14 sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 5(i) hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such holder would like to waive Section 7(a) of this Certificate of Designation with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, this Section 7(a) shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Series B Preferred Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the Maturity Date. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5 of this Certificate of Designation, at no time may a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock convert shares of the Series B Preferred Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such holder at such time, would result in such holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a holder of Series B Preferred Stock providing the Company with a Waiver Notice that such holder would like to waive Section 7(b) of this Certificate of Designation with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, this Section 7(b) shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Series B Preferred Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the Maturity Date. 8.

(ii) the suspension from listing, without subsequent listing on any one of, or the failure of the Common Stock to be listed on at least one of the OTC Bulletin Board, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or the American Stock Exchange, Inc., for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days; (iii) the Company's notice to any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, including by way of public announcement, at any time, of its inability to comply (including for any of the reasons described in Section 9) or its intention not to comply with proper requests for conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock; or (iv) the Company's failure to comply with a Conversion Notice tendered in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designation within ten (10) business days after the receipt by the Company of the Conversion Notice and the Preferred Stock Certificates; or (v) the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of the Purchase Agreement, this Certificate of Designation or any other agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby, except to the extent that such breach would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and except, in the case of a breach of a covenant which is curable, only if such breach continues for a period of a least ten (10) days. (e) Mechanics of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction.

At any time after receipt of a Notice of Major Transaction (or, in the event a Notice of Major Transaction is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Major Transaction, at any time within ten (10) days prior to a Major Transaction), any holder of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding may require the Company to redeem, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, all of the holder's Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction") to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction shall indicate (i) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that such holder is electing to redeem and (ii) the applicable Major Transaction Redemption Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 8(a) above. 17 (f) Mechanics of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event. Within one (1) day after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Triggering Event") to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock. At any time after the earlier of a holder's receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and such holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any holder of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding may require the Company to redeem all of the Series B Preferred Stock by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event") to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event shall indicate (i) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that such holder is electing to redeem and (ii) the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 8(b) above. (g) Payment of Redemption Price. Upon the Company's receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event or a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction from any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company shall immediately notify each holder of Series B Preferred Stock by facsimile of the Company's receipt of such Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event or Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction and each holder which has sent such a notice shall promptly submit to the Company such holder's Preferred Stock Certificates which such holder has elected to have redeemed. Other than with respect to the Triggering Event described in clause (iv) of Section 8(d), the Company shall have the sole option to pay the Redemption Price in cash or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Sections 8(a) and (b) and Section 9 of this Certificate of Designation. The Company shall deliver the applicable Major Transaction Redemption Price immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction; provided that a holder's Preferred Stock Certificates shall have been so delivered to the Company; provided further that if the Company is unable to redeem all of the Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the Company shall redeem an amount from each holder of Series B Preferred Stock being redeemed equal to such holder's pro-rata amount (based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder relative to the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding) of all Series B Preferred Stock being redeemed. If the Company shall fail to redeem all of the Series B Preferred Stock submitted for redemption (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price), in addition to any remedy such holder of Series B Preferred Stock may have under this Certificate of Designation and the Purchase Agreement, the applicable Redemption Price payable in respect of such unredeemed Series B Preferred Stock shall bear interest at the rate of 1.0% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price in full to a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock submitted for redemption, such holder shall have the option (the "Void Optional Redemption Option") to, in lieu of redemption, require the 18 Company to promptly return to such holder(s) all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock that were submitted for redemption by such holder(s) under this Section 8 and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the "Void Optional Redemption Notice"). Upon the Company's receipt of such Void Optional Redemption Notice(s) and prior to payment of the full applicable Redemption Price to such holder, (i) the Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction shall be null and void with respect to those shares of Series B Preferred Stock submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid and (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Series B Preferred Stock submitted to the Company by each holder for redemption under this Section 8(d) and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the date on which the Notice(s) of Redemption of Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice(s) is delivered to the Company; provided that no adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect. A holder's delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice other than interest payments. Payments provided for in this Section 8 shall have priority to payments to other stockholders in connection with a Major Transaction. (h) Mandatory Redemption upon Maturity Date. The number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock on the Maturity Date shall, at the option of each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (A) convert into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference Amount of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted on the Maturity Date plus any accrued but unpaid dividends divided by (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect, or (B) exchanged for cash at a price equal to the number of shares of Common Stock such holder would be entitled to receive at the Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by $1.85 (the "Maturity Date Redemption Price"). (i) Demand Registration Rights. If the Redemption Price upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction or Triggering Event, or the Maturity Date Redemption Price, is paid in shares of Common Stock and such shares have not been previously registered on a registration statement under the Securities Act, a holder of Series B Preferred Stock may make a written request for registration under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 8(i) of all of its shares of Common Stock issued upon such Major Transaction, Triggering Event or Maturity Date. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed and declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than the ninetieth (90th) day after such holder's request is made) a registration statement under the Securities Act, providing for the sale of all of the shares of Common Stock issued upon such Major Transaction or Triggering Event or on the Maturity Date by such holder. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to keep any such registration statement continuously effective for resale of the Common Stock for so long as such holder shall request, but in no event later than the date that the shares of Common Stock issued upon such Major Transaction or Triggering Event or on the Maturity Date may be offered for resale to the public pursuant to Rule 144(k). 19 9. Inability to Fully Convert. (a) Holder's Option if Company Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Company's receipt of a Conversion Notice or on the Maturity Date, the Company cannot issue shares of Common Stock registered for resale under the Registration Statement for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Company (w) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, (x) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or its securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to a holder of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to a Conversion Notice or (y) fails to have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock registered for resale under the Registration Statement, then the Company shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue in accordance with such holder's Conversion Notice and pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) above and, with respect to the unconverted Series B Preferred Stock, the holder, solely at such holder's option, can elect, within five (5) business days after receipt of notice from the Company thereof to: (i) require the Company to redeem from such holder those Series B Preferred Stock for which the Company is unable to issue Common Stock in accordance with such holder's Conversion Notice ("Mandatory Redemption") at a price per share equal to the Major Transaction Redemption Price as of such Conversion Date (the "Mandatory Redemption Price"); provided that the Company shall have the sole option to pay the Mandatory Redemption Price in cash or shares of Common Stock; (ii) if the Company's inability to fully convert Series B Preferred Stock is pursuant to Section 9(a)(y) above, require the Company to issue restricted shares of Common Stock in accordance with such holder's Conversion Notice and pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) above; (iii) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock that were to be converted pursuant to such holder's Conversion Notice (provided that a holder's voiding its Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice); (iv) extend the Maturity Date to such date that the Company complies with clauses (i) or (ii) above, as applicable (provided that dividends shall continue to accrue beyond the Maturity Date until the date the Company has complied with clauses (i) or (ii) above and the Company shall be obligated to make such dividend payments which have accrued from the Maturity Date). 20 (b) Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder's Election. The Company shall immediately send via facsimile to a holder of Series B Preferred Stock, upon receipt of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice from such holder which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 9(a) above, a notice of the Company's inability to fully satisfy such holder's Conversion Notice (the "Inability to Fully Convert Notice"). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Company is unable to fully satisfy such holder's Conversion Notice, (ii) the number of Series B Preferred Stock which cannot be converted and (iii) the applicable Mandatory Redemption Price. Such holder shall notify the Company of its election pursuant to Section 9(a) above by delivering written notice via facsimile to the Company ("Notice in Response to Inability to Convert"). (c) Payment of Redemption Price. If such holder shall elect to have its shares redeemed pursuant to Section 9(a)(i) above, the Company shall pay the Mandatory Redemption Price to such holder within thirty (30) days of the Company's receipt of the holder's Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, provided that prior to the Company's receipt of the holder's Notice in Response to Inability to Convert the Company has not delivered a notice to such holder stating, to the satisfaction of the holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Redemption has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to such holder can and will be delivered to the holder in accordance with the terms of Section 2(g). If the Company shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Redemption Price to such holder on a timely basis as described in this Section 9(c) (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price), in addition to any remedy such holder of Series B Preferred Stock may have under this Certificate of Designation and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of 2.0% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory Redemption Price is paid in full to such holder, such holder may (i) void the Mandatory Redemption with respect to those Series B Preferred Stock for which the full Mandatory Redemption Price has not been paid, (ii) receive back such Series B Preferred Stock, and (iii) require that the Conversion Price of such returned Series B Preferred Stock be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date the holder voided the Mandatory Redemption. (d) Pro-rata Conversion and Redemption. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Series B Preferred Stock on the same day and the Company can convert and redeem some, but not all, of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 9, the Company shall convert and redeem from each holder of Series B Preferred Stock electing to have Series B Preferred Stock converted and redeemed at such time an amount equal to such holder's pro-rata amount (based on the number shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder relative to the number shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding) of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted and redeemed at such time. 21 10. Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Preferred Stock. The affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting, of the holders of not less than three-fourths (3/4) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, shall be required (a) for any change to this Certificate of Designation or the Company's Articles of Incorporation which would amend, alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Series B Preferred Stock or (b) for the issuance of shares of Series B Preferred Stock other than pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and/or as dividends paid in shares of Series B Preferred Stock.. 11. Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the holder to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue Preferred Stock Certificates if the holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock. 12. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit a holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 13. Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Certificate of Designation shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Certificate of Designation shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all initial purchasers of the Series B Preferred Stock and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof. 22 14. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a holder of Series B Preferred Stock in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. 23 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed and subscribed this Certificate and does affirm the foregoing as true this 30th day of July, 2004.

Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 9 hereof. 1. Term. The term of this Warrant shall commence on July 30, 2004 and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on July 30, 2009 (such period being the "Term"). 2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange. (a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Term. (b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer. (c) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") account on the Holder's behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System ("DWAC"), within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised (less any amount thereof which shall have been canceled in payment or partial payment of the Warrant Price as hereinabove provided) shall also be issued to the Holder hereof at the Issuer's expense within such time. (d) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(e), this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph and subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued upon a transfer or exchange shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant hereto. (e) Compliance with Securities Laws. (i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof, as applicable, are being acquired for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof, except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. (ii) Except as provided in Section 2(e)(iii), this Warrant and all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: -2- THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR XSTREAM BEVERAGE GROUP, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED. (iii) The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Issuer may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Issuer has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will respond to any such notice from the Holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(e), the Issuer will use reasonable best efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, or (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(e) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant. Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to a the Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Stock, provided the Issuer's transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through DWAC (to the extent not -3- inconsistent with any provisions of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement). 3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants. (a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, and warrants to the Holder, and covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holder that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, charges or other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever created by or through the Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant. (b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer. (c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Articles of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be -4- reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant. (d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock. 4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Section 5. (a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. (i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a "Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4. (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, a Triggering Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this -5- Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such Securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto. (b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall: (i) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. (c) Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of: (i) cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer), (ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock), or -6- (iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock), then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer and supported by an opinion from an investment banking firm of recognized national standing acceptable to (but not affiliated with) the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4(b). (d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Issuer shall at any time following the Original Issue Date issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Additional Shares of Common Stock. (e) Issuance of Warrants or Other Rights. If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents (or issue any warrant or other rights therefor), whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrant or other rights therefor) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d). No adjustments of the Warrant Price then in effect or the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Common Stock Equivalents upon exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon such conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. -7- (f) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d). No further adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made under this Section 4(f) upon the issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to Section 4(e). No further adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. (g) Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(e) or Section 4(f) as the result of any issuance of warrants, other rights or Common Stock Equivalents, and (i) such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Common Stock Equivalents, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the occurrence of a specified date or event, then for each outstanding Warrant such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in this Section 4(g) above, there shall be a recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock Equivalents on the basis of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or other rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and (ii) treating any such Common Stock Equivalents which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or other property are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents; whereupon a new adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled. -8- (h) Purchase of Common Stock by the Issuer. If the Issuer at any time while this Warrant is outstanding shall, directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary or otherwise, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock at a price per share greater than the Per Share Market Value, then the Warrant Price upon each such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to such purchase, redemption or acquisition minus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such shares of Common Stock so purchased, redeemed or acquired would purchase at the Per Share Market Value; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately after such purchase, redemption or acquisition. For the purposes of this subsection (h), the date as of which the Per Share Market Price shall be computed shall be the earlier of (x) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm contract for the purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock, or (y) the date of actual purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock. For the purposes of this subsection (h), a purchase, redemption or acquisition of a Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to be a purchase of the underlying Common Stock, and the computation herein required shall be made on the basis of the full exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalent on the date as of which such computation is required hereby to be made, whether or not such Common Stock Equivalent is actually exercisable, convertible or exchangeable on such date. (i) Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4: (i) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer. In case any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Issuer issues any securities, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board -9- of Directors of the Issuer, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board in good faith shall determine to be attributable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents, or any warrants or other rights therefor, as the case may be. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Issuer in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied. (ii) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence. (iii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share. (iv) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled. (j) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant. (k) Escrow of Warrant Stock. If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to this Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record -10- of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, and the Holder exercises this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be deemed the last shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the Issuer and escrowed property returned. 5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to one of the national accounting firms currently known as the "big four" selected by the Holder; provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. 6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect. 7. Ownership Cap and Certain Exercise Restrictions. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.9% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon the Holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 13 hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such Holder would like to waive this Section 7(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 7(a) will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect (i) during the sixty-one (61) -11- days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant or (ii) upon the Holder's receipt of a Call Notice (as defined in Section 8 hereof). (b) The Holder may not exercise the Warrant hereunder to the extent such exercise would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with a Waiver Notice that such holder would like to waive this Section 7(b) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 7(b) shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Warrant Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect (i) during the sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant or (ii) upon the Holder's receipt of a Call Notice. 8.

The rights and privileges granted pursuant to this Warrant with respect to the shares of Warrant Stock subject to the Call Notice (the "Called Warrant Shares") shall expire on the Early Termination Date if this Warrant is not exercised with respect to such Called Warrant Shares prior to such Early Termination Date. In the event this Warrant is not exercised with respect to the Called Warrant Shares, the Issuer shall remit to the Holder of this Warrant (A) $.01 per Called Warrant Share and (B) a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, which shall not have been subject to the Call Notice upon the Holder tendering to the Issuer the applicable Warrant certificate. 9.

Expires July 30, 2009 No.: W-B-04- __ Number of Shares: ___________ Date of Issuance: July 30, 2004 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the undersigned, XStream Beverage Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), hereby certifies that _______________________________ or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to ____________________________________ (_____________) shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 8 hereof. 1. Term. The term of this Warrant shall commence on July 30, 2004 and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on July 30, 2009 (such period being the "Term"). 2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange. (a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Term. (b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of -1- shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer. (c) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") account on the Holder's behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System ("DWAC"), within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised (less any amount thereof which shall have been canceled in payment or partial payment of the Warrant Price as hereinabove provided) shall also be issued to the Holder hereof at the Issuer's expense within such time. (d) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(e), this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph and subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued upon a transfer or exchange shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant hereto. (e) Compliance with Securities Laws. (i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof, as applicable, are being acquired for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof, except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. (ii) Except as provided in Section 2(e)(iii), this Warrant and all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: -2- THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR XSTREAM BEVERAGE GROUP, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED. (iii) The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Issuer may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Issuer has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will respond to any such notice from the Holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(e), the Issuer will use reasonable best efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, or (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(e) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant. Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to a the Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Stock, provided the Issuer's transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through DWAC (to the extent not -3- inconsistent with any provisions of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement). 3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants. (a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, and warrants to the Holder, and covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holder that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, charges or other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever created by or through the Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant. (b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer. (c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Articles of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be -4- reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant. (d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock. 4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Section 5. (a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. (i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a "Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4. (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, a Triggering Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this -5- Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such Securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto. (b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall: (i) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. (c) Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of: (i) cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer), (ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock), or -6- (iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock), then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer and supported by an opinion from an investment banking firm of recognized national standing acceptable to (but not affiliated with) the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4(b). (d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Issuer shall at any time following the Original Issue Date issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Additional Shares of Common Stock. (e) Issuance of Warrants or Other Rights. If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents (or issue any warrant or other rights therefor), whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrant or other rights therefor) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d). No adjustments of the Warrant Price then in effect or the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Common Stock Equivalents upon exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon such conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. -7- (f) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d). No further adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made under this Section 4(f) upon the issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to Section 4(e). No further adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. (g) Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(e) or Section 4(f) as the result of any issuance of warrants, other rights or Common Stock Equivalents, and (i) such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Common Stock Equivalents, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the occurrence of a specified date or event, then for each outstanding Warrant such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in this Section 4(g) above, there shall be a recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock Equivalents on the basis of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or other rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and (ii) treating any such Common Stock Equivalents which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or other property are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents; whereupon a new adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled. -8- (h) Purchase of Common Stock by the Issuer. If the Issuer at any time while this Warrant is outstanding shall, directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary or otherwise, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock at a price per share greater than the Per Share Market Value, then the Warrant Price upon each such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to such purchase, redemption or acquisition minus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such shares of Common Stock so purchased, redeemed or acquired would purchase at the Per Share Market Value; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately after such purchase, redemption or acquisition. For the purposes of this subsection (h), the date as of which the Per Share Market Price shall be computed shall be the earlier of (x) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm contract for the purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock, or (y) the date of actual purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock. For the purposes of this subsection (h), a purchase, redemption or acquisition of a Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to be a purchase of the underlying Common Stock, and the computation herein required shall be made on the basis of the full exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalent on the date as of which such computation is required hereby to be made, whether or not such Common Stock Equivalent is actually exercisable, convertible or exchangeable on such date. (i) Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4: (i) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer. In case any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued in connection -9- with any merger in which the Issuer issues any securities, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board in good faith shall determine to be attributable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents, or any warrants or other rights therefor, as the case may be. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Issuer in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied. (ii) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence. (iii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share. (iv) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled. (j) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant. -10- (k) Escrow of Warrant Stock. If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to this Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, and the Holder exercises this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be deemed the last shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the Issuer and escrowed property returned. 5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to one of the national accounting firms currently known as the "big four" selected by the Holder; provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. 6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect. 7.

The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in accordance with this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation and its obligations to issue the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement and the Warrants, is, in each case, absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interest of other stockholders of the Company. (dd) Independent Nature of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that the decision of each Purchaser to purchase the Shares and Warrants pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other purchase and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its Subsidiaries which may have made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that for reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for one of the 12 Purchasers and such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only such Purchaser and the other Purchasers have retained their own individual counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. (ee) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Shares pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Shares to be integrated with other offerings. The Company does not have any registration statement pending before the Commission or currently under the Commission's review and since January 1, 2004, the Company has not offered or sold any of its equity securities. (hh) Sarbanes-Oxley Act(kk) .

Such Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), and that such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Shares without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement. (i) General. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of Federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Shares. (j) Independent Investment. No Purchaser has agreed to act with any other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Shares purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Shares. 15 ARTICLE III COVENANTS The Company covenants with each of the Purchasers as follows, which covenants are for the benefit of the Purchasers and their permitted assignees (as defined herein). Section 3.1 Securities Compliance. The Company shall notify the Commission in accordance with their rules and regulations, of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents, including filing a Form D with respect to the Preferred Shares, Warrants, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares as required under Regulation D, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares to the Purchasers or subsequent holders. Section 3.2 Registration and Listing. The Company will cause its Common Stock to continue to be registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, will comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, will comply with all requirements related to any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and will not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the rules promulgated thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as permitted herein. The Company will take all action necessary to continue the listing or trading of its Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. Section 3.3 Inspection Rights. The Company shall permit, during normal business hours and upon reasonable request and reasonable notice, each Purchaser or any employees, agents or representatives thereof, so long as such Purchaser shall be obligated hereunder to purchase the Preferred Shares or shall beneficially own any Preferred Shares, or shall own Conversion Shares which, in the aggregate, represent more than 2% of the total combined voting power of all voting securities then outstanding, for purposes reasonably related to such Purchaser's interests as a stockholder to examine and make reasonable copies of and extracts from the records and books of account of, and visit and inspect the properties, assets, operations and business of the Company and any subsidiary, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and any subsidiary with any of its officers, consultants, directors, and key employees. Section 3.4 Compliance with Laws. The Company shall comply, and cause each subsidiary to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, noncompliance with which could have a Material Adverse Effect. Section 3.5 Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company shall keep and cause each subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made. 16 Section 3.6 Reporting Requirements. If the Commission ceases making periodic reports filed under Section 13 of the Exchange Act available via its Election Data Gathering Retrieval and Analysis System, then at a Purchaser's request the Company shall furnish the following to such Purchaser so long as such Purchaser shall be obligated hereunder to purchase the Preferred Shares or shall beneficially own any Preferred Shares, or shall own Conversion Shares which, in the aggregate, represent more than 2% of the total combined voting power of all voting securities then outstanding: (a) Quarterly Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-QSB as soon as practical after the document is filed with the Commission, and in any event within fifty-five (55) days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of the Company; (b) Annual Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-KSB as soon as practical after the document is filed with the Commission, and in any event within one hundred (100) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company; and (c) Copies of all notices and information, including without limitation notices and proxy statements in connection with any meetings, that are provided to holders of shares of Common Stock, contemporaneously with the delivery of such notices or information to such holders of Common Stock. Section 3.7 Amendments. The Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the Articles or Bylaws of the Company in any way that would adversely affect the liquidation preferences, dividends rights, conversion rights, voting rights or redemption rights of the Preferred Shares; provided, however, that any creation and issuance of another series of Junior Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or any other class or series of equity securities which by its terms shall rank on parity with the Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences or privileges. Section 3.8 Other Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement in which the terms of such agreement would restrict or impair the right or ability to perform of the Company or any subsidiary under any Transaction Document. Section 3.9 Distributions. So long as any Preferred Shares or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Company. Section 3.10 Status of Dividends. The Company covenants and agrees that (i) no Federal income tax return or claim for refund of Federal income tax or other submission to the Internal Revenue Service will adversely affect the Preferred Shares, any other series of its Preferred Stock, or the Common Stock, and any deduction shall not operate to jeopardize the availability 17 to Purchasers of the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code or any successor provision, (ii) in no report to shareholders or to any governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or otherwise will it treat the Preferred Shares other than as equity capital or the dividends paid thereon other than as dividends paid on equity capital unless required to do so by a governmental body having jurisdiction over the accounts of the Company or by a change in generally accepted accounting principles required as a result of action by an authoritative accounting standards setting body, and (iii) other than pursuant to this Agreement or the Certificate of Designation, it will take no action which would result in the dividends paid by the Company on the Preferred Shares out of the Company's current or accumulated earnings and profits being ineligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code. The preceding sentence shall not be deemed to prevent the Company from designating the Preferred Stock as "Convertible Preferred Stock" in its annual and quarterly financial statements in accordance with its prior practice concerning other series of preferred stock of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to restate or modify its tax returns for periods prior to the Closing Date. In the event that the Purchasers have reasonable cause to believe that dividends paid by the Company on the Preferred Shares out of the Company's current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be treated as eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor provision, the Company will, at the reasonable request of the Purchasers of 51% of the outstanding Preferred Shares, join with the Purchasers in the submission to the Service of a request for a ruling that dividends paid on the Shares will be so eligible for Federal income tax purposes, at the Purchasers expense. In addition, the Company will reasonably cooperate with the Purchasers (at Purchasers' expense) in any litigation, appeal or other proceeding challenging or contesting any ruling, technical advice, finding or determination that earnings and profits are not eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor provision to the extent that the position to be taken in any such litigation, appeal, or other proceeding is not contrary to any provision of the Code or incurred in connection with any such submission, litigation, appeal or other proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to preclude the Company from claiming a deduction with respect to such dividends if (i) the Code shall hereafter be amended, or final Treasury regulations thereunder are issued or modified, to provide that dividends on the Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares should not be treated as dividends for Federal income tax purposes or that a deduction with respect to all or a portion of the dividends on the Shares is allowable for Federal income tax purposes, or (ii) in the absence of such an amendment, issuance or modification and after a submission of a request for ruling or technical advice, the service shall rule or advise that dividends on the shares should not be treated as dividends for Federal income tax purposes. If the Service determines that the Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares constitute debt, the Company may file protective claims for refund. Section 3.11 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Shares will be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes. Section 3.12 Future Financings; Right of First Offer and Refusal. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Subsequent Financing" shall be defined as any subsequent offer or sale to, or exchange with (or other type of distribution to), any third party of Common Stock or any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, including debt securities so convertible, in a private transaction (collectively, the "Financing Securities") 18 other than a Permitted Financing. For purposes of this Agreement, "Permitted Financing" shall mean any transaction involving (i) the Company's issuance of any Financing Securities (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition or consolidation, (ii) the Company's issuance of Financing Securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (iii) the Company's issuance of Financing Securities in connection with bona fide firm underwritten public offerings of its securities, (iv) the Company's issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company's stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans so long as the purchase price or exercise price of such securities is greater than the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), (v) as a result of the exercise of options or warrants or conversion of convertible notes or preferred stock which are granted or issued as of the date of this Agreement, (vi) any Warrants issued to the Purchasers and any warrants issued to the placement agent for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (vii) the payment of any dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock, or (viii) the Company's issuance of any Financing Securities in a transaction involving Laurus or any other entity that Laurus may introduce to the Company. (b) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is three (3) years following the Closing Date, the Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no event later than five (5) days after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing (a "Rights Notice") each Purchaser of the terms and conditions of any proposed Subsequent Financing. The Rights Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the proposed Subsequent Financing, the proposed closing date of the Subsequent Financing, which shall be within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the Rights Notice, including, without limitation, all of the terms and conditions thereof and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in connection therewith. The Rights Notice shall provide each Purchaser an option (the "Rights Option") during the fifteen (15) trading days following delivery of the Rights Notice (the "Option Period") to inform the Company whether such Purchaser will purchase up its pro rata portion for the securities being offered in such Subsequent Financing on the same, absolute terms and conditions as contemplated by such Subsequent Financing (the "First Refusal Rights"). If any Purchaser elects not to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the other Purchasers may participate on a pro-rata basis so long as such participation in the aggregate does not exceed the total Purchase Price hereunder. For purposes of this Section, all references to "pro rata" means, for any Purchaser electing to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the total number of Preferred Shares purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing by (y) the total number of Preferred Shares purchased by all of the participating Purchasers at the Closing. Delivery of any Rights Notice constitutes a representation and warranty by the Company that there are no other material terms and conditions, arrangements, agreements or otherwise except for those disclosed in the Rights Notice, to provide additional compensation to any party participating in any proposed Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, additional compensation based on changes in the Purchase Price or any type of reset or adjustment of a purchase or conversion price or to issue additional securities at any time after the closing date of a Subsequent Financing. If the Company does not receive notice of exercise of the Rights Option from the Purchasers within the Option Period, the Company shall have the right to close the Subsequent Financing on the scheduled closing date with a third party; provided that all of the material terms and conditions of the closing are the same as those provided to the Purchasers in the Rights Notice. 19 If the closing of the proposed Subsequent Financing does not occur on that date, any closing of the contemplated Subsequent Financing or any other Subsequent Financing shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Section 3.12, including, without limitation, the delivery of a new Rights Notice. The provisions of this Section 3.12(b) shall not apply to issuances of Financing Securities in a Permitted Financing. (c) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is forty two (42) months following the Closing Date, if the Company enters into any Subsequent Financing on terms more favorable than the terms governing the Preferred Shares, then the Purchasers in their sole discretion may exchange the Preferred Shares, valued at their stated value, for the securities issued or to be issued in the Subsequent Financing. The Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify in writing the Purchasers of the terms and conditions of any such proposed Subsequent Financing. Section 3.13 Reservation of Shares. Upon the filing of the Charter Amendment, so long as any of the Preferred Shares or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. Section 3.14 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions"). Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 3.14 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.14 shall affect in any way each Purchaser's obligations and agreements set forth in Section 5.1 to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon resale of the Shares. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.14 will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3.14 will be inadequate 20 and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 3.14, that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. Section 3.15 Disposition of Assets. So long as the Preferred Shares remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights including, without limitation, its software and intellectual property, to any person except for sales to customers in the ordinary course of business or with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares then outstanding; provided, that, the Company may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets to Laurus in connection with certain agreements entered into between the Company and Laurus on May 14, 2004 and any future agreements entered into between the Company and Laurus so long as the fair market value of the properties or assets being sold or transferred to Laurus does not exceed the investment amount under such agreements entered into between Laurus and the Company. Section 3.16 Reporting Status. So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination. Section 3.17 Disclosure of Transaction. The Company shall issue a press release describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (the "Press Release") as soon as practicable after the Closing; provided, however, that if Closing occurs after 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time on any Trading Day but in no event later than one hour after the Closing, the Company shall issue the Press Release no later than 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time on the first Trading Day following the Closing Date. The Company shall also file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Form 8-K") describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (and attaching as exhibits thereto this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Registration Rights Agreement and the form of Warrant) as soon as practicable following the Closing Date but in no event more than two (2) Trading Days following the Closing Date, which Press Release and Form 8-K shall be subject to prior review and comment by the Purchasers. "Trading Day" means any day during which the OTC Bulletin Board (or other principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) shall be open for trading. Section 3.18 Disclosure of Material Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. 21 Section 3.19 Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Common Stock. The pledge of Common Stock shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Common Stock hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of Common Stock shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Article V hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Common Stock to such pledgee. At the Purchasers' expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Common Stock may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Common Stock to such pledgee by a Purchaser. Section 3.20 Charter Amendment. The Company shall file the Charter Amendment no later than August 30, 2004. Section 3.21 Listing of Warrants. The Company shall use its best efforts to list the Warrants for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or other applicable exchange no later than five (5) business days following the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). The Company and the Purchasers agree that the Purchasers will suffer damages if the Warrants are not listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or other applicable exchange within five (5) business days following the Effectiveness Date (the "Warrant Listing Date"). The Company and the Purchasers further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if the Warrants are not listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or other applicable exchange by the Warrant Listing Date, the Company shall pay an amount as liquidated damages to each Purchaser, payable in cash, equal to two percent (2%) for the first calendar month or portion thereof of the Purchaser's initial investment in the Preferred Shares from the Warrant Listing Date and one and one quarter percent (1.25%) for each calendar month thereafter or portion thereof from the Warrant Listing Date until the Warrants are listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or other applicable exchange.

ARTICLE V STOCK CERTIFICATE LEGEND Section 5.1 Legend. Each certificate representing the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, and, if appropriate, securities issued upon conversion thereof, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws): THESE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE "SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR XSTREAM BEVERAGE GROUP, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED. The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the 25 Company, to the effect that the registration of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 6.1, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or "blue sky" laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 6.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement). ARTICLE VI INDEMNIFICATION Section 6.1 General Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. Each Purchaser severally but not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Company as result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such Purchaser herein. The maximum aggregate liability of each Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder. 26 Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an "indemnified party") will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party's costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.

Unless otherwise advised by outside counsel to the Company in its reasonable judgment, the Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Special Counsel shall reasonably object in writing within three (3) Business Days of its receipt thereof; provided, however, that Special Counsel may only object to the filing of the Registration Statement if such objection relates specifically to the Holders or may affect the timely effectiveness of the Registration Statement. (b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; (iii) respond as promptly as possible, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as possible provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented. (c) Notify any Special Counsel as promptly as possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than five (5) days prior to such filing) (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or -4- all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) if at any time any of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement contemplated hereby ceases to be true and correct in all material respects; (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (vi) of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. (d) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment. (e) If requested by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as the Company reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment. (f) Furnish to each Holder and any Special Counsel, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission. (g) Promptly deliver to each Holder and any Special Counsel, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder or Special Counsel may reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of any Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto. (h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and any Special Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally -5- to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. (i) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends so long as the Holder has complied with all applicable securities laws in connection with such sale, including the prospectus delivery requirements, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any Holder may request in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities. (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(vi), as promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. (k) Use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities relating to the Registration Statement to be listed on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other securities exchange, quotation system or market, if any, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed as and when required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. (l) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of any 12-month period (or ninety (90) days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the Effectiveness Date, which statement shall conform to the requirements of Rule 158. (m) The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as is required by law to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. If the Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (if such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force) the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or -6- supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required. Each Holder covenants and agrees that (i) it will not sell any Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until it has received copies of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented as contemplated in Section 3(g) and notice from the Company that such Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective as contemplated by Section 3(c) and (ii) it and its officers, directors or Affiliates, if any, will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to them in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv), 3(c)(v), 3(c)(vi) or 3(n), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3(j), or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. (n) If (i) there is material non-public information regarding the Company which the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") reasonably determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to the Company which the Board reasonably determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose, then the Company may (x) postpone or suspend filing of a registration statement for a period not to exceed thirty (30) consecutive days or (y) postpone or suspend effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed twenty (20) consecutive days; provided that the Company may not postpone or suspend effectiveness of a registration statement under this Section 3(n) for more than forty-five (45) days in the aggregate during any 12-month period; provided, however, that no such postponement or suspension shall be permitted for consecutive twenty (20) day periods arising out of the same set of facts, circumstances or transactions. 4.

Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review), as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder or other Indemnifying Party to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Holder shall be liable under this Section 5(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel -9- reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder). (d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other from the offering of the Preferred Shares and Warrants. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault, as applicable, of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms. -10- The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holders shall be liable under this Section 5(d) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. 6. Rule 144. As long as any Holder owns any Shares or Warrants, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As long as any Holder owns any Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will prepare and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such financial statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that would otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in the time period that such filings would have been required to have been made under the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request in writing, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any legal opinions relating to such sale pursuant to Rule 144. 7. Miscellaneous. (a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, as of the date hereof entered into and currently in -11- effect, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement currently in effect granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any securities of the Company, under the Securities Act unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement. (c) No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto or as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement or Schedule II hereto) may include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing such right to any of its security holders, unless the right so granted is subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and is not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement. (d) Failure to File Registration Statement and Other Events. The Company and the Purchasers agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date and not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period or if certain other events occur. The Company and the Holders further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (A) the Registration Statement has not been declared effective within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the Filing Date, or (B) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date, or (C) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act within three (3) Business Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a Registration Statement will not be "reviewed," or not subject to further review, or (D) the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission but thereafter ceases to be effective as to all Registrable Securities at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, without being succeeded promptly by a subsequent Registration Statement filed with and declared effective by the Commission, or (E) the Company has breached Section 3(n) of this Agreement, or (F) trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended or if the Common Stock is delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board for any reason for more than three (3) Business Days in the aggregate (any such failure or breach being referred to as an "Event," and for purposes of clauses (A) and (B) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (C) the date on which such three (3) Business Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (D) after more than fifteen (15) Business Days, or for purposes of clause (F) the date on which such three (3) Business Day period is exceeded, being referred to as "Event Date"), the Company shall pay an amount as liquidated damages to each Holder, payable in cash, equal to two percent (2%) for the first calendar month or portion thereof of the Holder's initial investment in the Preferred Shares from the Event Date and one and one quarter percent (1.25%) for each calendar month thereafter or portion thereof from the applicable Event Date until the Event is cured. -12- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(d), if (I) any of the Events described in clauses (A), (B) or (C) shall have occurred, (II) on or prior to the applicable Event Date, the Company shall have exercised its rights under Section 3(n) hereof and (III) the postponement or suspension permitted pursuant to such Section 3(n) shall remain effective as of such applicable Event Date, then the applicable Event Date shall be deemed instead to occur on the second (2nd) Business Day following the termination of such postponement or suspension. (e) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities outstanding.
