SERIES B STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
 
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, STEVEN POSNER IRREVOCABLE TRUST U/T/A or its registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from FIRSTWAY ENTERPRISES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at any time or from time to time during the period specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, 5,555,555 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price per share equal to $.30 (the “Exercise Price”). The term “Warrant Shares,” as used herein, refers to the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.  The Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 4 hereof.  The term “Warrants” means this Warrant and the other warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 2, 2008, by and among the Company and the Buyers listed on the execution page thereof (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).
 
This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions, and conditions:
 
1. Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
 
This Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Agreement”), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), and upon payment to the Company in cash, by certified or offi­cial bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement.
 
If the resale of the Warrant Shares by the holder is not registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended by November 2, 2009, this Warrant (or any portion thereof) may be exercised by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal executive offices with a written notice of the holder’s intention to effect a cashless exercise, including a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms hereof (a “Cashless Exercise”).  In the event of a Cashless Exercise, in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash, the holder shall surrender this Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the then current Market Price per share of the Common Stock and the Exercise Price,  and the denominator of which shall be the then current Market Price per share of Common Stock.  For example, if the holder is exercising 100,000 Warrants with a per Warrant exercise price of $0.75 per share through a cashless exercise when the Common Stock’s current Market Price per share is $2.00 per share, then upon such Cashless Exercise the holder will receive 62,500 shares of Common Stock.  Market Price per share shall be calculated as the average closing sales price (or closing bid price) of the Company's Common Stock for the prior five trading days.

Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in no event shall the holder of this Warrant be entitled to exercise a number of Warrants (or portions thereof) in excess of the number of Warrants (or portions thereof) upon exercise of which the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised Warrants and the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including the Note (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein) and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (or portions thereof) with respect to which the determination described herein is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 4.999% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (i) of the preceding sentence. The 4.999% limitation may only be waived by the holder of the warrant upon 61 days written notice to the Company.
 
2. Period of Exercise.
 
This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from time to time on or after the date on which this Warrant is issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on the fourth (4th) anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Exercise Period”).
 
3. Certain Agreements of the Company.
 
The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
 
(a) Shares to be Fully Paid.  All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
 
(b) Reservation of Shares.  During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a suf­ficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
 
4. Antidilution Provisions.  
 
During the Exercise Period, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Paragraph 4.
 
In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up to the nearest cent.
 
(a) Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of Common Stock.  Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 4(c) and 4(e) hereof or with respect to an Excluded Issuance (as defined in the Note), if and whenever on or after the date of issuance of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Paragraph 4(b) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price (as defined in the Note) on the date of issuance (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price will be reduced to a price equal to a product of (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and (y) the quotient of (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such time by the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus (II) the consideration received by the Company upon such issue or sale, by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such time by (II) the number of shares of common stock deemed outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.  The issuance by the Company of securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock at conversion or exchange price less than the Conversion Price shall be deemed a Dilutive Issuance resulting in a reduction in the Exercise price as calculated herein.  For example, if the Company has 50,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, the Exercise Price is $.24, and the Company subsequently sells 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $.10, then the Exercise Price will be reduced to $.1667 based on the above formula as follows:
 
$0.24 x ($.24 x 50,000,000) + ($.10 x 10,000,000) = $.2166
 
 ($.24 x 60,000,000)

(b) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced.  If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
 
(c) Adjustment in Number of Shares.  Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 4, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
 
(d) Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the holder of this Warrant will have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken place.  In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Paragraph 4 hereof will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  The Company will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes by written instrument the obligations under this Paragraph 4 and the obligations to deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to acquire.
 
(e) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price.  No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 5% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Exercise Price.
 
(f) No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of such exercise.
 
(g) Other Notices.  In case at any time:
 
(i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution (including dividends or distributions payable in cash out of retained earnings) to the holders of the Common Stock;
 
(ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;
 
(iii) there shall be any capital reorganiza­tion of the Company, or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, or sale of all or substan­tially all its assets to, another corporation or entity; or
 
(iv) there shall be a voluntary or involun­tary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
 
then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the holder of this Warrant (a) notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such divi­dend, distribution, or subscription rights or for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place.  Such notice shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock or other securities or property deliverable upon such reorganization, re­classification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be.  Such notice shall be given at least 30 days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company’s books are closed in respect thereto.  Failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.
