WARRANT AGREEMENT
WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of _______ __, 2007, by and between RxElite Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), and ______________________ (the “Warrant Holder”).
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the parties have entered into that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 19, 2007, by and between the Company and the Warrant Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to the Warrant Holder a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase __________ shares of the Company’s common stock, par value US$.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to the terms set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Warrant; Call. (a) The Company hereby grants to the Warrant Holder, subject to the terms set forth herein, the right to purchase at any time during the term commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5:30 p.m., New York time, on the second (2nd) anniversary of the date hereof (the “Expiration Date”) __________ shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), at an initial exercise price of US$0.85 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 hereof (as in effect from time to time, the “Exercise Price”).
(b) Should the closing bid price of one share of the Company’s Common Stock be or exceed US $2.20 per share for 20 consecutive trading days, then, at the election of the Company (which shall be made in the form of a notice to the Warrant Holder), this Warrant shall automatically be exercised. The Warrant Holder will take all steps necessary to implement the preceding sentence. If this Warrant shall not be exercised by the Warrant Holder within 5 calendar days’ after the Company’s notice described in the first sentence of this clause (b), then this Warrant shall immediately expire and be of no further force and effect.
2. Exercise of Warrant.
2.1 Exercise. The Warrant may be exercised by the Warrant Holder, in whole or in part, by delivering the Notice of Exercise purchase form, attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly executed by the Warrant Holder to the Company at its principal office, or at such other office as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment, in cash or by wire transfer or check payable to the order of the Company, of the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Shares designated in the Notice of Exercise by the Exercise Price (the “Purchase Price”).
2.2 Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after the exercise of the Warrant (in whole or in part) in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof, the Company, at its expense, shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrant Holder (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares to which the Warrant Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise and (if applicable) (ii) a new warrant agreement of like tenor to purchase all of the Shares that may be purchased pursuant to the portion, if any, of the Warrant not exercised by the Warrant Holder. The Warrant Holder shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Shares on the date on which the Notice of Exercise and payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof were delivered and made, respectively, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that if the date of such delivery, notice and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
3. Adjustments.
3.1 Stock Splits, Stock Dividends and Combinations. If the Company at any time subdivides the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or issues a stock dividend (in Common Stock) on the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the issuance of such stock dividend shall be proportionately decreased, and the number of Shares subject hereto shall be proportionately increased, and if the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, and the number of Shares subject hereto shall be proportionately decreased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.
3.2 Merger or Consolidation. In the case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into another entity (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding capital stock of the Company), the entity formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Holder a supplemental warrant agreement providing that the Warrant Holder of the Warrant then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of such Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of Shares for which such Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation or merger. Such supplemental warrant agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided in Section 3.1 hereof. This Section 3.2 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.

3.3. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price 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, including a statement of (i) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property that at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant. 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 (x) all adjustments and readjustments of the Exercise Price since the Original Issue Date and (y) the Exercise Price then in effect.

5. No Fractional Shares. Any adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
6. Covenants as to the Shares.

The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights imposed by or through the Company, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented under this Agreement.
-3-
7. Legend. Any certificate evidencing the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof will bear the legend set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
8. Rights Applicable to the Warrant Shares. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be “Registrable Securities” pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement).
9. Dividends and Other Distributions. In the event that the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of all Warrants, declare a dividend (other than a dividend consisting solely of shares of Common Stock) or otherwise distribute to its stockholders any assets, properties, rights, evidence of indebtedness, securities (other than shares of Common Stock), whether issued by the Company or by another person, or any other thing of value, the Company shall give the Warrant Holder 10 calendar days’ prior written notice of such proposed dividend or distribution.
10. Miscellaneous.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Boise, Idaho for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by delivering a copy thereof via overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

No provision of this Agreement, in the absence of affirmative action by the Warrant Holder to purchase the Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Warrant Holder, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
10.7 Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and transferees.
