WARRANT


Warrant No. HB-P01		Date of Original Issuance: January 14, 2009

Health Benefits Direct Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, Co-Investment Fund II, L.P. or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein:

(a) at any time and from time to time after the Stockholder Approval Deadline (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement and until and including the earliest to occur of (i) the Call Event Expiration Date, (ii) the Common Stock Authorization Date (as defined below), and (iii) January 14, 2014 up to a total of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”) of the Company at an exercise price equal to $4.00 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided herein, the “Preferred Stock Exercise Price”); and

(b) at any time and from time to time after the Common Stock Authorization Date and until and including the earlier to occur of (i) the Call Event Expiration Date, and (ii) January 14, 2014 up to a total of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company at an exercise price equal to $0.20 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided herein, the “Common Stock Exercise Price”); provided, that in the event that this Warrant has been exercised for Preferred Stock prior to the Common Stock Authorization Date, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may

thereafter be exercised will be reduced by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise for Preferred Stock had the Common Stock Authorization Date occurred prior to such exercise for Preferred Stock.

This Warrant will expire on the date (the “Expiration Date”) which is the earlier to occur of (i) the Call Event Expiration Date and (ii) January 14, 2014. The shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Shares” and individually as a “Warrant Share”). The Preferred Stock Exercise Price and the Common Stock Exercise Price are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Exercise Price.” This warrant and any warrants issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, are referred to herein as the “Warrant.”

1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of January 14, 2009 by and among the Company and the investors thereto (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).

2. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

3. Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants. This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 11:59 p.m., New York City time on the Expiration Date, subject to Section 12, the portion of this Warrant not exercised (or called) prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

5. Delivery of Warrant Shares; Disposition of Warrants and Warrant Shares.

(a) To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant. Execution and delivery via facsimile of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the

remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery via facsimile of the Exercise Notice for all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares. Upon such delivery of the attached Exercise Notice to the Company (with the attached Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon (1) payment of the then-applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder or (2) notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined below), the Company shall on or before the third (3^rd) Trading Day after receipt thereof issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and subsequent to the date on which a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions (“DTC”), if available, provided, that, the Company may, but will not, be required to change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through the DTC. A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company: (i) the Exercise Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it) via facsimile, appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) as provided above. On the Date of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be).

(b) The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or to credit such shares to the Holder’s DTC account (as the case may be) as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(c) The Warrants and Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws and the provisions related to transfer and other provisions related to the Securities set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, including without limitation, Sections 4.2 and 4.14 thereof.

(d) The Warrants shall contain the legend set forth above and the stock certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares will contain the following legend, until such time as they are not required under the conditions described in the Securities Purchase Agreement:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (I) (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY OR (II) RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other similar incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which such taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or any of its affiliates. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and a customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) in accordance

with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Warrants (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock to satisfy its then applicable obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants at least a number of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock equal to the maximum number of shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the Warrants then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”) (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall as promptly as practicable thereafter take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as promptly as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.

9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

(b) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (1) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (2) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (3) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (4) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which

the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”) (assuming for the purposes of this calculation that this Warrant is then exercisable for Common Stock). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

(c) Adjustment upon Issuance of shares of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement but prior to the date that is two years after the Common Stock Authorization Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 9 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities, for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Common Stock Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Common Stock Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to a price equal to the New Issuance Price and the Preferred Stock Exercise Price shall be reduced to a price equal to the product of (a) the New Issuance Price times (b) 20. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 9(c) the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 9(c)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of

the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 9(c)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 9(c), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 9(c)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 9(c) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration

of $0.01. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for each such security will be the VWAP of such security for the five (5) Trading Day Period immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10^th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

(d) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (c) of this Section, unless waived in writing by the Holder with respect to a particular adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100^th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request of a Holder, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

(g) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price by delivery to the Company of immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, unless a Preliminary Call Event has occurred prior to such Exercise Date (and only for so long as such Preliminary Call Event is continuing) or the Company has timely delivered an effective notice of a Call Event to the Holder prior to the Exercise Date, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):


		Net Number =		(A x B) - (A x C) B
		For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A= the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B= the VWAP of the shares of Common Stock for the 5 Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice

C= the Common Stock Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise (assuming for such purpose that the Common Stock Authorization Date has occurred).

11. No Rights as Stockholder. Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 11, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

12. Call Event. At any point after which (a) the Common Stock Authorization Date has occured and (b) the VWAP of the Common Stock for a minimum of 20 consecutive Trading Days shall have been equal to at least eight times (8x) the Exercise Price (a “Call Event”), the Company may, at its option, provide written notice of such Call Event to all, but not less than all, holders of Warrants (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) within 10 Trading Days after the occurrence of the Call Event, in which case, the date that is ten business days after the Company has provided such written notice to all such holders of a Call Event shall be the “Call Event Expiration Date.” For the avoidance of doubt, at 11:59 p.m., New York City time on the Call Event Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value as further set forth below in this Section 12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice of a Call Event shall not be effective with respect to the Holder unless (i) one or more Registration Statement(s) covering all of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder is (or are, as the case may be) effective and is (or are, as the case may be) not then suspended and no stop order is in effect with respect thereto, and the Holder is able to sell all such shares pursuant to such Registration Statement(s) through the Call Event Expiration Date, (ii) on each Trading Day during the thirty (30) Trading Day period immediately preceding the Call Event Expiration Date (the “Requisite Period”), all of the Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder are freely tradable, without restriction (subject to compliance with prospectus delivery requirements to the extent applicable), on an Eligible Market (other than such shares which are properly excluded from one or more Registration Statements pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement), (iii) on each day during the Requisite Period, the Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder are designated for listing on an Eligible Market and shall not have been suspended from trading on such exchange, (iv) the Company shall have, at all times during the Requisite Period, delivered Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants held by a Holder on a timely basis in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and this Warrant, and (v) the Holder is able to sell all shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder at all times through the Call Event Expiration Date without any liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of Section 10 hereof, “Preliminary Call Event” shall occur at any point after which (a) the Common Stock Authorization Date has occured and (b) the VWAP of the Common Stock for a minimum of 10 consecutive Trading Days shall have been equal to at least eight times (8x) the Exercise Price and the other conditions of a Call Event set forth above capable of being satisfied prior to such point are satisfied (including, without limitation, that one or more Registration Statement(s) covering all of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder (other than

such shares which are properly excluded therefrom pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement) is (or are, as the case may be) effective and is (or are, as the case may be) not then suspended and no stop order is in effect with respect thereto).

13. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the VWAP of the shares of Common Stock for the 5 Trading Day period immediately preceding the Date of Exercise (which VWAP shall be multiplied by 20 for fractional shares of Preferred Stock)..

14. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, to Health Benefits Direct Corporation, Health Benefits Direct Corporation, 150 N. Radnor-Chester Road, Radnor, PA 19087, Facsimile: (484) ###-###-####, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or such other address as the Company shall so notify the Holder, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section.

15. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 10 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

16. Additional Definitions. For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) “Bloomberg” means Bloomberg Financial Markets.
