Issuance Date: March 14, 2008
 
No. 2008-[       ]
______ Shares

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, VIOQUEST PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that [________________], its designee or its permitted assigns is entitled to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time commencing on March 14, 2008 and prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on March 14, 2013 (the “Exercise Period”), [________________] fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company for a purchase price per share of $1.00.  Hereinafter, (i) said common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company, is referred to as the "Common Stock"; (ii) the shares of the Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth herein) purchasable hereunder or under any other Warrant (as hereinafter defined) are referred to as the "Warrant Shares"; (iii) the aggregate purchase price payable for the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder is referred to as the "Aggregate Warrant Price"; (iv) the price payable (initially $[       ] per share subject to adjustment as set forth herein) for each of the Warrant Shares hereunder is referred to as the "Per Share Warrant Price"; (v) this Warrant, all similar Warrants issued on the date hereof and all warrants hereafter issued in exchange or substitution for this Warrant or such similar Warrants are referred to as the "Warrants"; (vi) the holder of this Warrant is referred to as the "Holder" and the holder of this Warrant and all other Warrants and Warrant Shares are referred to as the "Holders" and Holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of then outstanding Warrants are referred to as the "Majority of the Holders") and (vii) the then Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (the "Current Market Price") shall be deemed to be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately prior to such date or, in case no such reported sales take place on such day, the average of the last reported bid and asked prices of the Common Stock on such day, in either case on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is admitted to trading or listed, or if not listed or admitted to trading on any such exchange, the representative closing sale price of the Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market (collectively, “NASDAQ”), or other similar organization if NASDAQ is no longer reporting such information, or, if the Common Stock is not reported on NASDAQ, the per share sale price for the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or another over-the-counter market, or if not so available, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. A “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which shares of the Company’s Common Stock are sold on the respective exchange or over-the-counter market. The Aggregate Warrant Price is not subject to adjustment.
 

 
This Warrant is one in a series of related warrants constituting in the aggregate Warrants to purchase 2,887,082 Warrant Shares, which were originally issued pursuant to a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) between the Company and the investor named therein in connection with a private placement by the Company of its securities, as described in the Company’s Confidential Offering Memorandum dated February 28, 2008, as amended. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with all applicable provisions of the Subscription Agreement.

1. Exercise of Warrant.

(a) This Warrant may be exercised in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, by the Holder during the Exercise Period:

(i) by the surrender of this Warrant (with the subscription form at the end hereof duly executed) at the address set forth in subsection 10(a) hereof, together with proper payment of the Aggregate Warrant Price, or the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, with payment for the Warrant Shares made by certified or official bank check payable to the order of, or wire transfer of immediately available funds to, the Company; or

(ii) if at any time following the first anniversary of the Issuance Date the sale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder is not then registered under the Act pursuant to an effective registration statement, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the cashless exercise form at the end hereof duly executed) (a “Cashless Exercise”) at the address set forth in subsection 10(a) hereof. Such presentation and surrender shall be deemed a waiver of the Holder's obligation to pay the Aggregate Warrant Price, or the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part. In the event of a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall exchange its Warrant for that number of Warrant Shares subject to such Cashless Exercise multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the then Current Market Price and the Per Share Warrant Price, and the denominator of which shall be the then Current Market Price. For purposes of any computation under this subsection 1(a), the then Current Market Price shall be based on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Cashless Exercise.

(b) If this Warrant is exercised in part, this Warrant must be exercised for a number of whole shares of the Common Stock and the Holder is entitled to receive a new Warrant covering the Warrant Shares that have not been exercised and setting forth the proportionate part of the Aggregate Warrant Price applicable to such Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant in connection with the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company will (i) as soon as practicable but no later than three business days after the due exercise of this Warrant (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”), issue a certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder for the largest number of whole shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise and, if this Warrant is exercised in whole, in lieu of any fractional share of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such fractional share (determined in such reasonable manner as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine), and (ii) deliver the other securities and properties receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the proportionate part thereof, if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant.

(c) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. 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 the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

2. Reservation of Warrant Shares; Listing.

The Company agrees that, prior to the expiration of this Warrant, the Company shall at all times (a) have authorized and in reserve, and shall keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, the shares of the Common Stock and other securities and properties as from time to time shall be receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, free and clear of all restrictions on sale or transfer, other than under Federal or state securities laws, and free and clear of all preemptive rights and rights of first refusal and (b) if the Company hereafter lists its Common Stock on any national securities exchange or NASDAQ, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Warrant Shares authorized for listing on such exchange upon notice of issuance.

3. Certain Adjustments.
(a) In case the Company shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine or reverse-split its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall forthwith be proportionately decreased and increased, respectively, in the case of a subdivision, distribution or stock dividend, or proportionately increased and decreased, respectively, in the case of a combination or reverse stock split. The Aggregate Warrant Price payable for the then total number of Warrant Shares available for exercise under this Warrant shall remain the same. Adjustments made pursuant to this subsection 3(a) shall become effective on the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution, and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination is not consummated in full, the Per Share Warrant Price and Warrant Shares shall be readjusted accordingly.

(b) In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or in the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the Company but excluding any exchange of securities or merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification of or similar change in the Common Stock), the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive on the exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant. The above provisions of this subsection 3(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances. The Company shall require the issuer of any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant to be responsible for all of the agreements and obligations of the Company hereunder. Notice of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and of said provisions so proposed to be made, shall be mailed to the Holders of the Warrants not less than twenty (20) days prior to such event. A sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for a consideration consisting primarily of securities shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.
 
4

 
(c) No adjustment in the Per Share Warrant Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.01 per share of Common Stock; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection 3(c) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further, however, that adjustments shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 (other than this subsection 3(c)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution, if any, to the Holder of this Warrant or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Per Share Warrant Price, in addition to those required by this Section 3, as it in its discretion shall deem to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares or distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable.
 
(d) Whenever the Per Share Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted as provided in this Section 3 and upon any modification of the rights of a Holder of Warrants in accordance with this Section 3, the Company shall promptly prepare a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification and the manner of computing the same and cause copies of such certificate to be mailed to the Holders of the Warrants. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to unless requested by a Majority of the Holders, obtain, at its expense, a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular auditors of the Company) setting forth the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect after such adjustment or the effect of such modification, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification and the manner of computing the same and cause copies of such certificate to be mailed to the Holders of the Warrants.

(e) If the Board of Directors of the Company shall declare any dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common Stock other than a cash distribution out of earned surplus, the Company shall mail notice thereof to the Holders of the Warrants not less than ten (10) days prior to the record date fixed for determining stockholders entitled to participate in such dividend or other distribution.
 
5

 
(f) If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a written notice to the Holder of any Warrant promptly after such adjustment) shall determine, in good faith, the allocation of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price between or among shares or such classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock.
 
(g) Upon the expiration of any rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges with respect to the issuance of which an adjustment to the Per Share Warrant Price had been made, if such option, right warrant or conversion shall not have been exercised, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, to the extent this Warrant has not then been exercised, shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be such as they would have been had they been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required, as the case may be) on the basis of (A) the fact that Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges, and (B) the fact that such shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all such rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges whether or not exercised; provided, however, that no such readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant by an amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made in respect of the issuance, sale or grant of such rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges.

(h) In case any event shall occur as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but as to which the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of the adjustments set forth in this Section 3 then, in each such case, the Board of Directors of the Company shall in good faith determine the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established herein, necessary to preserve the purchase rights represented by the Warrants. Upon such determination, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder of this Warrant and shall make the adjustments described therein.

4. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes. The shares of the Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall, subject to compliance by the Holder with the terms hereof, at the time of such delivery, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal imposed by any agreement to which the Company is a party, and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. The Company shall pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of any Warrant Share or any certificate thereof to the extent required because of the issuance by the Company of such security.

5. Registration Under Act.

(a) The Holder shall have the right to participate in the registration rights granted to purchasers of the Securities (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) pursuant to Article 5 of the Subscription Agreement. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the provisions in Article 5 of the Subscription Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party thereto.

(b) Until all of the Warrant Shares and any shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder have been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144, so long as the Company’s Common Stock remains registered under the Act, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission all current reports and the information as may be necessary to enable the Holder to effect sales of its shares in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

6. Investment Intent; Limited Transferability. 

(a) By accepting this Warrant, the Holder represents to the Company that it understands that this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered for sale under Federal or state securities laws and are being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of such securities laws. In the absence of an effective registration of such securities or an exemption therefrom, any certificates for such securities shall bear 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 and such securities have not been registered under Federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder further represents to the Company, by accepting this Warrant, that it has full power and authority to accept this Warrant and make the representations set forth herein.

(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, by acceptance of this Warrant, 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 laws or (ii) such sale or transfer is made pursuant to one or more exemptions from the Act.

(c) In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 1 and in accordance with the legend on the first page hereof, this Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by the Holder except in compliance with the provisions of the Act and the applicable state securities “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 a 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 Warrant. 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 unless, in each case, otherwise prohibited by applicable law.
 
7

 
(d) The Holder has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Warrants or the exercise of the Warrants; and (ii) the opportunity to request such additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense.

(e) The Holder 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; or (ii) attend any seminar, meeting or investor or other conference whose attendees were, to such Holder’s knowledge, invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

(f) The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Act. Such Holder is acquiring the Warrants for its own account and not with a present view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the registration requirements of the Act, without prejudice, however, to such Holder’s right, subject to the provisions of the Subscription Agreement and this Warrant, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Warrants and Warrant Shares.

(g) Either by reason of such 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), such Holder has the capacity to protect such Holder’s interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Warrant and the Subscription Agreement. The Holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant. Holder also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring this Warrant.
 
7. Optional Redemption. 

(a) In the event that the closing price of the Common Stock for any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days on the OTC Bulletin Board (or upon a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ, if then applicable) is at least $0.50 (subject to adjustment for any stock splits, combinations, or similar events with respect to the Common Stock after the original issuance date of this Warrant, as described in Section 3 hereof), the Company shall be entitled to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Warrants at a per Warrant redemption price of $0.001, at any time after the completion of such twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period by providing thirty (30) business days’ written notice to the Holders. The Holder agrees to return the certificate representing the redeemed Warrants to the Company upon their redemption (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant in accordance with Section 8 hereof).
 
8

 
(b) Notwithstanding Section 7(a) hereof, for so long as any Warrant Shares are not subject to a registration statement providing for the resale thereof under the Securities Act declared effective by the SEC or are not otherwise permitted to be immediately sold, in whole, pursuant to an exemption to registration without volume restrictions for such resale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act, the Company shall not be entitled to exercise its redemption rights pursuant to Section 7(a) above.

8. Loss, etc., of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination.

9. Warrant Holder Not Stockholder. This Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any right to vote on or consent to or receive notice as a stockholder of the Company, as such, in respect of any matters whatsoever, nor any other rights or liabilities as a stockholder, prior to the exercise hereof; this Warrant does, however, require certain notices to Holders as set forth herein.

10. Communication. No notice or other communication under this Warrant shall be effective or deemed to have been given unless, the same is in writing and is mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or via recognized overnight courier with confirmed receipt, addressed to:

(a) the Company at VioQuest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 180 Mount Airy Road, Suite 102, Basking Ridge, New Jersey 07920, Attn: President, or other such address as the Company has designated in writing to the Holder; or

(b) the Holder at the address last furnished to the Company in writing by the Holder.

11. Headings. The headings of this Warrant have been inserted as a matter of convenience and shall not affect the construction hereof.

12. Applicable Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

13. Amendment, Waiver, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought; provided, however, that any provision hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated upon the written consent of the Company and the Majority of the Holders and such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination shall be effective with respect to the Company and all Holders.
