This Warrant is issued to _______________________ ("Holder") by Global Investor Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter with its successors called the "Company").

For value received and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set out, Holder is entitled to purchase from the Company at a purchase price per share of $0.05, ____________ fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Shares") of the Company. Such purchase price per Common Share, adjusted from time to time as provided herein, is referred to as the "Purchase Price."

1.           The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the exercise form annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Company, or such other office as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing, together with a certified or bank cashier's check payable to the order of the Company in the amount of the Purchase Price times the number of Common Shares being purchased.    In the event that the Company’s volume weighted average price is greater than $0.25 for a period of 30 consecutive days, then the Company, within 30 days of such event occurring, may send notice to theHolder advising that the warrants must be exercised within 30 days of such notice.

2.           The person or persons in whose name or names any certificate representing Common Shares is issued hereunder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Common Shares represented thereby as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant is exercised with respect to such shares, whether or not the transfer books of the Company shall be closed.  Until such time as this Warrant is exercised or terminates, the Purchase Price payable and the number and character of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.

3.           Unless previously exercised, this Warrant shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, on ___________________ __, 2014, and shall be void thereafter.

4.           The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized Common Shares, free from all preemptive rights, which will be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges.

5.           If the Company subdivides its outstanding Common Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combines its outstanding Common Shares, the Purchase Price then applicable to shares covered by this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

6.           If (a) the Company reorganizes its capital, reclassifies its capital stock, consolidates or merges with or into another corporation (but only if the Company is not the surviving corporation and no longer has more than a single shareholder) or sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all its property, assets, or business to another corporation, and (b) pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock, or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Shares, then (c) Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation and Other Property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, or disposition of assets as a holder of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. At the time of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to adjust the number of shares of the common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation for which this Warrant is exercisable. For purposes of this section, "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to  subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this section shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or disposition of assets.

7.           Intentionally left blank.

8.           In no event shall any fractional Common Share of the Company be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant.  If, upon exercise of this Warrant as an entirety, the Holder would, except as provided in this Section 8, be entitled to receive a fractional Common Share, then the Company shall issue the next higher number of full Common Shares, issuing a full share with respect to such fractional share.  If this Warrant is exercised at one time for less than the maximum number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof, the Company shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor and date representing the number of Common Shares equal to the difference between the number of shares purchasable upon full exercise of this Warrant and the number of shares that were purchased upon the exercise of this Warrant.

9.           No adjustments in the Purchase Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one cent in such price, provided however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 9 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

10.         Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a certificate setting forth the Purchase Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

11.          If, at any time when this Warrant is issued and outstanding, the Company issues or sells 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 set forth in the Notes issued in connection with this Offering in effect on the date of such issuance of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price will be reduced according to a weighted average anti-dilution calculation.

12.         The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Holder and any assignees of this Warrant.  Holder may change its address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.  Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be delivered by confirmed facsimile or telecopy or by a recognized overnight courier, addressed to Holder at the address shown on the warrant register.

13.         This Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws ("State Acts") or regulations in reliance upon exemptions under the Securities Act, and exemptions under the State Acts.    Subject to compliance with the Securities Act and State Acts, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part, at the office of the Company at which this Warrant is exercisable, upon surrender of this Warrant together with the assignment hereof properly endorsed.

14.         In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company may issue a new warrant of like tenor and denomination and deliver the same (a) in exchange and substitution for and upon surrender and cancellation of any mutilated Warrant, or (b) in lieu of any Warrant lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant (including a reasonably detailed affidavit with respect to the circumstances of any loss, theft, or destruction) and of indemnity with sufficient surety satisfactory to the Company.

15.         Unless a current registration statement under the Securities Act, shall be in effect with respect to the securities to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder, by accepting this Warrant, covenants and agrees that, at the time of exercise hereof, and at the time of any proposed transfer of securities acquired upon exercise hereof, the Company may require Holder to make such representations, and may place such legends on certificates representing the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, as may be reasonably required in the opinion of counsel to the Company to permit such Common Shares to be issued without such registration.

16.          This Warrant does not entitle Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.

17.         Nothing expressed in this Agreement and nothing that may be implied from any of the provisions hereof is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the parties to this Agreement any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise, or agreement contained herein, and all covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements contained herein shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

18.         The provisions and terms of this Warrant shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Warrant has been duly executed by the Company as of  DATE_________________, 2009.
