 Warrant No.:  A - 1       December 16, 2009
 
                                                                                                     
This certifies that for value received, _____________ or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, at any time from and after the date hereof (the “Original Issuance Date”) and before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 7, 2014 (the “Expiration Date”)), to purchase from Decisionpoint Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), ____________ shares (subject to adjustment as described herein), of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), upon surrender hereof, at the office of the Company referred to below, with a duly executed exercise notice (the “Exercise Notice”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and simultaneous payment therefor in lawful, immediately available money of the United States or otherwise as hereinafter provided, at an initial exercise price per share of $___ (the “Exercise Price”). The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment as provided below, and the term “Common Stock” shall include, unless the context otherwise requires, all other securities and property at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The term “Warrants,” as used herein, shall mean this Warrant and any other Warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.
 
This Warrant is one of a series of substantially identical (collectively the “Warrants”) Warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof (the “SPA”) by and among the Company, the Holder and the other signatories to the SPA.
 
 
 

 
 
1. Definitions.  In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the SPA.
 
2. Exercise.
 
A.  Method of Exercise.  This Warrant may be exercised at any time or from time to time from and after the Original Issuance Date and before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, on any business day, for the full number of shares of Common Stock called for hereby, by surrendering it at the principal office of the Company (or such other office of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), with the Exercise Notice duly executed, together with payment in an amount equal to (a) the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of this Warrant, as adjusted in accordance with the preceding paragraph of this Warrant multiplied (b) by the Exercise Price then in effect. Payment of the Exercise Price must be made by payment in immediately available funds. This Warrant may be exercised for less than the full number of shares of Common Stock at the time called for hereby, except that the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, and the sum payable upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, shall be proportionately reduced. Upon a partial exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, this Warrant shall be surrendered, and a new Warrant of the same tenor and for the purchase of the number of such shares not purchased upon such exercise shall be issued by the Company to Holder without any charge therefor.
 
B.  Issuance of Shares.  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise (the “Exercise Date”) as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of such shares of record as of the close of business on the Exercise Date. Within three (3) business days after the Exercise Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash, in lieu of any fraction of a share, equal to such fraction of the then Fair Market Value (as defined below) on the Exercise Date of one full share of Common Stock.
 
So long as a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), providing for the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is then in effect, the Company shall use best efforts to ensure the issuance and delivery of the shares to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian 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 so purchased as of the date of such exercise.  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 exercise is in connection with a sale and the Company and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system.

C.  Cashless Exercise.  In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to satisfy the Exercise Price by exchanging this Warrant for a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula (such election being referred to herein as a “Net Issue Exercise Election”):
 
X =
Y(A-B)
A
 
     Where
X =
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
 
 
Y =
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation).

 
A =
the Fair Market Value of one share of the Common Stock (at the date of such calculation).

 
B =
the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
 
Fair Market Value” shall mean, as of any date: (i) if shares of the Common Stock are listed on a national securities exchange, the average of the closing prices as reported for composite transactions during the five (5) consecutive trading days preceding the trading day immediately prior to such date or, if no sale occurred on a trading day, then the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on such exchange on such trading day; (ii) if shares of the Common Stock are not so listed but are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the average of the closing prices as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board during the five (5) consecutive trading days preceding the trading day immediately prior to such date or, if no sale occurred on a trading day, then the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked prices as of the close of business on such trading day, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board; or (iii)  if the shares of the Common Stock are not then publicly traded, the fair market price of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
D.  Limitation on Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), does not exceed 4.9% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This restriction may not be waived.

E.  Exercise Disputes.  In the case of any dispute with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via fax (or, it the Holder has not provided the Company with a fax number, by overnight courier) within five (5) business days of receipt of the Holder’s Exercise Notice.  If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree as to the determination of the Exercise Price within five (5) business days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall in accordance with this Section, submit via facsimile the disputed determination to its independent auditor.  The Company shall cause its independent auditor to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results promptly, in writing and in sufficient detail to give the Holder and the Company a clear understanding of the issue.  The determination by the Company’s independent auditor shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.  The Company shall then on the next Business Day instruct its transfer agent to issue certificate(s) representing the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with the independent auditor’s determination and this Section.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of all fees and expenses of such determination and calculation.

3. Shares Fully Paid; Payment of Taxes. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the Company shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges (other than income taxes to the holder) that may be imposed in respect of the issue or delivery thereof.
 
4. Transfer and Exchange. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company maintained for such purpose at its office referred to above by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the Company’s office referred to above together with: (i) a completed and executed form of assignment, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, (ii) payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer and (iii) an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company stating that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Upon any partial transfer of this Warrant, the Company will issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant or Warrants with respect to the portion of this Warrant not so transferred. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant when endorsed in blank shall be deemed negotiable and that when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed, the holder hereof may be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby, or to the transfer hereof on the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Company may treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner for all purposes.
 
This Warrant is exchangeable at such office for Warrants for the same aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as the Holder shall designate at the time of such exchange.

5. Certain Adjustments.  The Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
 
A.  Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date effects a stock split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Exercise Price then in effect immediately before that stock split or subdivision shall be proportionately decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time or from time to time effects a reverse stock split or combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price then in effect immediately before that reverse stock split or combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Each adjustment under this Section 5.A shall become effective at the close of business on the date the stock split, subdivision, reverse stock split or combination becomes effective.
 
B.  Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date makes or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Exercise Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is 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; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5B as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
 
C.  Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date makes, or fixes 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 such event provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company which the Holder would have received had this Warrant been exercised on the date of such event and had Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by the Holder as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the Holder of this Warrant.

D.  Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. In the event that at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this Section 5), then and in any such event the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter upon exercise of this Warrant to receive the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable by holders of Common Stock upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, that the Holder would have received if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
 
E.  Adjustment for Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 5) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the Holder of this Warrant after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of shares to be received upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
 
F.  No Adjustments in Certain Circumstances. No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least five ($0.05) cents in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 5F are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
 
G.  Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price 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 a Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of a Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) Exercise Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

6. Notices of Record Date. In case:
 
A.  the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, or
 
B.  of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation, or

7. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it (in the exercise of reasonable discretion) of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to it (in the exercise of reasonable discretion), and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor.
 
8. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the  Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or first offer, taxes, liens and charges of whatever nature, with respect to the issuance thereof.
 
9. Registration Rights.  All shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall have the registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement by and between the Holder and the Company, which rights are expressly incorporated and made a part of this Warrant.

12. Headings. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of convenience in reference only, and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.
 
13. Governing Law, Etc. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed solely and exclusively in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The parties hereto hereby expressly and irrevocably agree that any suit or proceeding arising directly and/or indirectly pursuant to, arising out of or under this Warrant, shall be brought solely and exclusively in a federal or state court located in the City, County and State of New York.

In the event of any such action or proceeding (including, but not limited to, any motions made), the party prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from the other party hereto of its reasonable counsel fees and disbursements.
