Warrant To Purchase Common Stock

Warrant No.: 8-A
Number of Shares of Common Stock: 195,000
Date of Issuance: April 25, 2005 ("Issuance Date")

Millennium Cell Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, H.C. WAINWRIGHT & CO., INC., the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the "Warrant"), at any time or times on or after October 26, 2005, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), Ninety Two Thousand Six Hundred Twenty Four (92,624) fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the "Warrant Shares"). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 14.
 
EXERCISE OF WARRANT. (a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(d)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after October 26, 2005, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the "Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or (B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(c)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery 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. On or before the third Business Day (the "Share Delivery Date") following the date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the "Exercise Delivery Documents"), the Company shall (X) provided that the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate dated the date of such exercise and registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed, to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 balance account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (issued in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
 
(b)  Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, "Exercise Price" means $2.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
 
(c)  Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a registration statement covering the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the "Unavailable Warrant Shares") is not then in effect, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the "Net Number" of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a "Cashless Exercise"):
 
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
B
 
2

For purposes of the foregoing formula:
 
A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
 
B= the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
 
C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

(d)  Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 11.
 
(e)  Limitations on Exercises; Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant if the issuance of such Warrant Shares would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise of this Warrant (including, as applicable, any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exercise of outstanding warrants and convertible preferred stock of the Company issued on or about the Issuance Date) without breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the "Exchange Cap"), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, the Company shall not issue, upon the exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the Exchange Cap. In the event that the Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer all or any part of this Warrant, the transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the Exchange Cap. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing any Warrant Shares for which an Exercise Notice has been received as a result of the operation of this Section 1(e), the Company shall pay cash in exchange for cancellation of such Warrant Shares, at a price per Warrant Share equal to the difference between the Closing Sale Price and the Exercise Price as of the date of the attempted exercise.
 
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the amount of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
 
(a)  Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of shares of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
3

(b)  Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and, if the event is of the type contemplated by Section 2(a), the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) will increase the Exercise Price or, if the event is of the type contemplated by Section 2(a), decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.
 
FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS. Prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a "Corporate Event"), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. Notice of any such Fundamental Transaction or Corporate Event, and of said provisions so proposed to be made, shall be made to the Holder not less than 10 days prior to such event. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.
 
NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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 of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as this Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
 
WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. 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.

(c)  Assignment of Warrant.

INVESTMENT INTENT; LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY. (a) The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, represents and warrants that it understands that this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) or any state securities or blue sky laws and are being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities or blue sky laws and regulations. In the absence of an effective registration under the Act or any applicable state securities or blue sky laws or regulations, or an exemption therefrom, any certificates for such securities shall bear a legend substantially similar to the legend set forth on the first page hereof. The Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant has not been, and such securities may not be, registered under the Act or any state securities or blue sky laws and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, unless exemptions from such registrations are available.
 
6

(b) The Holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for its own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Act. The Holder agrees that this Warrant and any such securities will not be sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect to such transfer is effective under the Act and any applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) such sale or transfer is made pursuant to one or more exemptions from the Act or any applicable state securities or blue sky laws or regulations.
 
(c) The Holder agrees, acknowledges and understands that this Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by the Holder except in compliance with the provisions of the Act and any applicable state securities or blue sky laws, and is so transferable only upon the books of the Company which it shall cause to be maintained for such purpose. The Company may treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as it appears on the Company’s books at any time as the Holder for all purposes. The Company shall permit any Holder of this Warrant or its duly authorized attorney, upon written request during ordinary business hours, to inspect and copy or make extracts from its books showing the registered holders of Warrants. All Warrants issued upon the transfer or assignment of this Warrant will be dated the same date as this Warrant, and all rights of the holder thereof shall be identical to those of the Holder.
 
(d) The Holder agrees and acknowledges that, in connection with its acquisition of this Warrant, it has been afforded the opportunity to (i) ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Warrant or the exercise of this Warrant and (ii) request such additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense.
 
(e) The Holder represents and warrants that, in connection with its acquisition of this Warrant, it did not (i) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available, (ii) receive or review any other form of general solicitation or general advertisement or (iii) attend any seminar, meeting or investor or other conference whose attendees were, to the Holder’s knowledge, invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
 
(f) The Holder represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act or that it otherwise, either by reason of the Holder’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of its professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate, finder or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect its interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Warrant.
 
REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available in law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder 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 Holder 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.
 
7

TRANSFER. This Warrant may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without the consent of the Company, except as may otherwise be required by Section 2(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2005, by and among the Company and the investors referred to therein.
