WARRANT AGREEMENT
Issue Date: June 30, 2010
1. Basic Terms. This Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, the registered holder specified below or its registered assigns (“Holder”), is the owner of a warrant of DC Brands International, Inc. , a Colorado corporation, (the Corporation) adjustments as provided herein, to purchase twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares of the Common Stock, $.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation from the Corporation at the price per share shown below (the “Exercise Price”).
|
Holder:
|
|
|
Exercise Price per share: $.01 per share
|
Except as specifically provided otherwise, all references in this Warrant to the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder shall be to the Exercise Price and number of shares after any adjustments are made thereto pursuant to this Warrant.
2. Corporation’s Representations/Covenants. The Corporation represents and covenants that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall at delivery be fully paid and non-assessable and free from taxes, liens, encumbrances and charges with respect to their purchase. The Corporation shall take any necessary actions to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then current Exercise Price per share of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and hold available sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy all conversion and purchase rights of outstanding convertible securities, options and warrants of the Corporation, including this Warrant.
3. Method of Exercise; Fractional Shares. This Warrant is exercisable at the option of the Holder in whole at any time or in part from time to time by surrendering this Warrant, on any business day during the period (the “Exercise Period”) beginning on the issue date of this Warrant specified above and ending at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) five (5) years after the issue date. To exercise this Warrant, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the principal office of the Corporation or that of the duly authorized and acting transfer agent for its Common Stock, together with the executed exercise form (substantially in the form of that attached hereto) and together with payment for the Common Stock purchased under this Warrant. The principal office of the Corporation is located at the address specified on the signature page of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Corporation may change its principal office upon notice to the Holder. At the option of the Holder payment shall be made either by check payable to the order of the Corporation or by wire transfer. Upon the partial exercise of this Warrant, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder a new Warrant of the same tenor and date, and for the balance of the number of shares of Common Stock not purchased upon such partial exercise and any previous exercises. This Warrant is not exercisable with respect to a fraction of a share of Common Stock. In lieu of issuing a fraction of a share remaining after exercise of this Warrant as to all full shares covered by this Warrant, the Corporation shall either at its option (a) pay for the fractional share cash equal to the same fraction at the fair market price for such share; or (b) issue scrip for the fraction in the registered or bearer form which shall entitle the Holder to receive a certificate for a full share of Common Stock on surrender of scrip aggregating a full share.

4. Protection Against Dilution. The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, and the Exercise Price, shall be adjusted as set forth as follows. If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Warrant, the Corporation:
(i) takes a record of the holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock for the purposes of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock; or
(ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock; or
(iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock;
then, and in each such case, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such event and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after such event.
Upon each adjustment in the Exercise Price under this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the Exercise Price in effect upon such adjustment.
5. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc.
(a) During the Exercise Period, the Corporation shall, prior to consummation of a consolidation with or merger into another corporation, or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation or corporations, whether affiliated or unaffiliated (any such corporation being included within the meaning of the term “successor corporation”), or agreement to so consolidate, merge or convey assets, require the successor corporation to assume, by written instrument delivered to the Holder, the obligation to issue and deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or property as, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4(b), the Holder shall be entitled to purchase or receive
(b) In the case of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation (or any other corporation the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of this Warrant) during the Exercise Period or in case, during the Exercise Period, the Corporation (or any such other corporation) shall consolidate with or merge into another corporation or convey all or substantially all its assets to another corporation, the Holder, upon exercise, at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Common Stock of the Corporation (or such other corporation), the proportionate share of all stock, securities or other property issued, paid or delivered for or on all of the Common Stock of the Corporation (or such other corporation) as is allocable to the shares of Common Stock then called for by this Warrant as if the Holder had exercised the Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in paragraph 4 of this Warrant.

6. Notice of Adjustment. On the happening of an event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price or the shares purchasable under this Warrant, the Corporation shall immediately give written notice to the Holder stating the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number and kind of securities or other property purchasable under this Warrant resulting from the event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which the calculation is based.
7. Dissolution, Liquidation. In case the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation (other than in connection with a reorganization, consolidation, merger, or other transaction covered by paragraph 5 above) is at any time proposed, the Corporation shall give at least thirty days prior written notice to the Holder. Such notice shall contain: (a) the date on which the transaction is to take place; (b) the record date (which shall be at least thirty (30) days after the giving of the notice) as of which holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive distributions as a result of the transaction; (c) a brief description of the transaction, (d) a brief description of the distributions to be made to holders of Common Stock as a result of the transaction; and (d) an estimate of the fair value of the distributions. On the date of the transaction, if it actually occurs, this Warrant and all rights under this Warrant shall terminate.
8. Certain Exercise Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may the Holder exercise this Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided , however , that upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Corporation with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 13 hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such Holder would like to waive this Section 8 with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 8 will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant.
9. Rights of Holder. The Corporation shall deliver to the Holder all notices and other information provided to its holders of shares of Common Stock or other securities which may be issuable hereunder concurrently with the delivery of such information to the holders. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or, except for the foregoing notice provisions, any other rights as a shareholder of the Corporation. No dividends are payable or will accrue on this Warrant or the Shares purchasable under this Warrant until, and except to the extent that, this Warrant is exercised. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price as provided above, the person or entity entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares as of the close of business on the date of the surrender of this Warrant for exercise as provided above. Upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have all of the rights of a shareholder in the Corporation.
10. Exchange for Other Denominations. This Warrant is exchangeable, on its surrender by the Holder to the Corporation, for a new Warrant of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the balance of the number of shares purchasable under this Warrant in denominations and subject to restrictions on transfer contained herein, in the names designated by the Holder at the time of surrender.

11. Substitution. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence satisfactory (in the exercise of reasonable discretion) to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft or destruction or mutilation of the Warrant, and (in the case or loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory (in the exercise of reasonable discretion) to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon the surrender and cancellation thereof, the Corporation will issue and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
12. Restrictions on Transfer. Neither this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws (the “Acts”). Neither this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of (a) an effective registration statement for this Warrant or Common Stock purchasable hereunder, as applicable, under the Acts, or (b) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that registration is not required under such Acts. If the Holder seeks an opinion as to transfer without registration from Holder’s counsel, the Corporation shall provide such factual information to Holder’s counsel as Holder’s counsel reasonably request for the purpose of rendering such opinion. Each certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder will bear a legend describing the restrictions on transfer contained in this paragraph unless, in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, the shares need no longer to be subject to the transfer restrictions.
13. Transfer. Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant, this Warrant is transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the Holder in person or by attorney, on surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed.
14. Recognition of Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant, the Corporation shall treat the Holder as the person exclusively entitled to receive notices and otherwise to exercise rights under this Warrant. All notices required or permitted to be given to the Holder shall be in writing and shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing in the records of the Corporation.
15. Payment of Taxes. The Corporation shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges, other than applicable income taxes, that may be imposed with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant.
16. Headings. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of convenience in reference only, shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not affect-the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this Warrant.
17. Miscellaneous. This Warrant may not be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the Corporation and the Holder. This Warrant shall inure to
4
the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Corporation and the Holder.
18. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to its principles governing conflicts of law.
