ITEM 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement; and
ITEM 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On June 3, 2008, Triangle Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”), sold an aggregate of 18,257,500 units (“Units”) to 31 accredited investors for aggregate proceeds of $25,560,500. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) and one-half of a warrant (the “Warrants”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share exercisable at a price of $2.25 for a period of two years (the “Warrant Shares”). The Units were issued in a private placement transaction pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933. Pursuant to the terms of sale, the Company agreed to cause a resale registration statement covering the Warrant Shares to be declared effective no later than 150 days after the closing. If the Company fails to comply with the registration statement effective date requirement, it will be required to pay the investors a fee equal to 1% of the aggregate amount invested by the purchasers per each 30 day period of delay, not to exceed 5%. In addition, the Company agreed to have its common stock listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSE”) no later than December 31, 2008. If the Company fails to comply with the TSE listing requirement, it will be required to pay the investors a fee equal to 2% of the aggregate amount invested by the purchasers per each 30 day period of delay, not to exceed 10%.

The Company paid the placement agent of the offering a cash fee of 7.0% of the proceeds of the offering.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Triangle Petroleum Corporation
Attention: Mark Gustafson
Suite 1250
521 – 3rd Avenue S.W.
Calgary, AB Canada
T2P 3T3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This will confirm my agreement to become a stockholder of Triangle Petroleum Corporation ("Triangle Petroleum") and to purchase units (the "Units") in Triangle Petroleum. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company (the "Shares") and one-half of a warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share exercisable at a price of $2.25 for a period of two years (the "Warrant Shares"). I/we hereby acknowledge receipt of the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated May 27, 2008 (the "Memorandum"), with respect to Triangle Petroleum. The Memorandum describes the terms under which the Units are being offered to subscribers.

1. Subscription and Sale.

1.1 Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Memorandum, I/we irrevocably subscribe for, and agree to purchase the number of Units of Triangle Petroleum for the subscription price indicated on the Signature Page. I am/we are tendering to Triangle Petroleum (a) a completed, signed, and dated copy of this Agreement, (b) a completed, signed, and dated Purchaser's Questionnaire, and (c) a certified check or bank check in the amount of the subscription price (or I am/we are concurrently wire transferring such amount to the Escrow Agent).

1.2 Acceptance or Rejection of Subscription. All funds tendered by me/us will be held in a segregated subscription account pending acceptance or rejection of this Agreement and the closing of my/our purchase of the Units. This Agreement will either be accepted, in whole or in part, or rejected, by Triangle Petroleum as promptly as practicable. If this Agreement is accepted only in part, I/we agree to purchase such smaller number of Units as Triangle Petroleum determines to sell to me/us. If this Agreement is rejected for any reason or no reason, including, the termination of the offering of the Units by Triangle Petroleum, this Agreement and all funds tendered with it will be promptly returned to me/us, without interest or deduction of any kind, and this Agreement will be void and of no further force or effect. Deposit and collection of the check tendered, or receipt of funds wired, with this Agreement will not constitute acceptance of this Agreement.


1.3  Closing. Subscriptions will be accepted at one or more closings, as described in the Memorandum. On closing, the subscription evidenced hereby, if not previously rejected, will, in reliance on my/our representations and warranties, be accepted, in whole or in part, and Triangle Petroleum will execute a copy of this Agreement and return it to me/us. If my/our subscription is accepted only in part, this Agreement will be marked to indicate such fact, and Triangle Petroleum will return to me/us the portion of the funds tendered by me/us representing the unaccepted portion of my/our subscription, without interest or deduction of any kind. The Units subscribed for will not be deemed to be issued to, or owned by, me/us until Triangle Petroleum has accepted this Agreement.

2. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of the Purchaser. I/we represent, warrant, and covenant to Triangle Petroleum that:

2.1 General:

(a) If I am a natural person, I have the legal capacity and all requisite authority to enter into, execute, and deliver the Transaction Documents (as hereinafter defined), to purchase the Units, and to perform all the obligations required to be performed by me thereunder. If we are a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, estate, or other entity, we are authorized to purchase the Units and otherwise to comply with our obligations under the Transaction Documents. The person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity is duly authorized by such entity to do so. The Transaction Documents are my/our valid and binding agreements and enforceable against me/us in accordance with their terms.

(b) My/our principal residence is in the jurisdiction indicated herein, or if we are a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, estate, or other entity, we are organized and qualified under the law of the state indicated below and I/we have no intention of becoming a resident or domiciliary of any jurisdiction other than the one indicated by our address.

(c) I am/we are subscribing to purchase the Units solely for my/our own account, for investment, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution. I am/we are not acquiring the Units as an agent or otherwise for any other person.

2.2 Information Concerning the Offering:

(a) I/we have received, carefully read, and understood the Memorandum. I/we have not been furnished any offering literature other than the Memorandum and the Exhibits attached thereto and have relied only on the information contained therein and my/our own due diligence efforts and inquiries with respect to the Offering (as defined in the Memorandum). The Units were not offered to me/us by any means of general solicitation or general advertising.

(b)  I/we understand that the offering of the Units is being made without registration of the Units under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or any state securities or blue sky laws in reliance on exemptions from such registration, and that such reliance is based in part on my representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2 and on the information set forth in the Purchaser's Questionnaire tendered by me/us to Triangle Petroleum with this Agreement.

2

(c) In formulating a decision to invest in the Units, I/we (and my/our Purchaser Representative (as defined in Rule 501(h) of Regulation D under the Act), if any) have been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and to obtain any information necessary to permit me to verify the accuracy of the information set forth in the Memorandum from, representatives of Triangle Petroleum and have been furnished all such information so requested. I/we have not relied or acted on the basis of any representations or other information purported to be given on behalf of Triangle Petroleum except as set forth in the Memorandum (it being understood that no person has been authorized by Triangle Petroleum to furnish any representations or other information except as set forth in the Memorandum).

(d) I/we understand that the purchase of the Units involves various risks and that an investment in Triangle Petroleum should be regarded as speculative and involving a high degree of risk. I am/we are fully aware of the nature of my investment in Triangle Petroleum and the lack of liquidity of an investment in Units being offered pursuant to the Offering, because the Units may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or an exemption from such registration, and that in the absence of such registration or exemption, the Units must be held indefinitely.

(e) I/we understand that no federal or state agency has passed upon the Units of Triangle Petroleum or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of an investment in Triangle Petroleum.

2.3 Status of Subscriber, Additional Information:

(a) If we are a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, estate, or other entity, we are an "accredited investor," as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Act (see the Purchaser's Questionnaire for a list of the types of accredited investors) and meet the experience standards set forth in Section 2.3(b) below. If I am a natural person, I am at least 21 years of age and am an "accredited investor" and meet the experience standards set forth in Section 2.3(b) below.  
 
(b) I (together with my Purchaser Representative, if any), or if we are a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, estate, or other entity, we by and through our officers, directors, trustees, managers, partners, employees, or other advisors, (i) are experienced in evaluating companies such as Triangle Petroleum, (ii) have determined that the Units are a suitable investment for me/us, and (iii) have such knowledge, skill, and experience in business, financial, and investment matters so that I am/we are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Units. To the extent necessary, I/we have retained, at my/our expense, and relied upon, appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax, and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and owning the Units, and I/we and my/our advisers or representatives have investigated my/our investment in Triangle Petroleum to the extent I/we and they have deemed advisable. I/we have the financial ability to bear the economic risks of our entire investment for an indefinite period and no need for liquidity with respect to our investment in Triangle Petroleum, and, if I a natural person, I have adequate means for providing for my current needs and personal contingencies.

(c) I/we agree to furnish any additional information requested to assure compliance with the Act and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the Units. If there is any material change in the information I/we are furnishing hereunder prior to the date this Agreement is accepted, I/we will immediately furnish such revised or corrected information to Triangle Petroleum.

3


2.4 Restrictions on Transfer or Sale of the Units:

(a) I /we will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any the Units or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of the Units under the Act and applicable state securities laws or in a transaction that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Act and any applicable state securities laws. I/we understand that Triangle Petroleum will not be under any obligation to register the Units under the Act or any state securities law (except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement (as hereinafter defined)) or to comply with the terms of any exemption provided under the Act or any state securities law with respect to the Units.

(b) I/we have not offered or sold any portion of my/our Units and have no present intention of dividing my/our Units with others or of reselling or otherwise disposing of any portion of my/our Units either currently or after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time or upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance.

2.5 Independent Nature of Investor's Obligations and Rights. My/our obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and any other documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith (collectively, the "Transaction Documents") are several and not joint with the obligations of any other purchaser of Units, and I/we shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other purchaser of Units under any Transaction Document. My/our decision to purchase Units pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by me/us independently of any other purchaser of Units. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any purchaser of Units pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute such purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the purchasers of Units are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. I/we acknowledge that no other purchaser of Units has acted as agent for me/us in connection with making my/our investment hereunder and that no other purchaser of Units will be acting as my/our agent in connection with monitoring my/our investment in the Units or enforcing my/our rights under the Transaction Documents. I/we shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce my/our rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other purchaser of Units to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

2.6 Due Authority, Etc. If we are a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, estate, or other entity: (a) we are duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of our formation and have all requisite power and authority to own our properties and assets and to carry on our business, and at Triangle Petroleum's request, will furnish it with copies of our organizational documents, (b) we have the requisite power and authority to execute the Transaction Documents and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby, (c) our execution and performance of the Transaction Documents do not and will not result in any violation of, or conflict with, any term of our charter, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement or regulations, or indenture of trust, as the case may be, or any instrument to which we are a party or by which we are bound or any law or regulation applicable to us, (d) our execution and performance of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, or other action, (e) we were not specifically formed to invest in Triangle Petroleum, and (f) the individual who has executed the Transaction Documents on our behalf was duly authorized to do so by all requisite corporate, partnership, or other action and, on request of Triangle Petroleum, we will furnish appropriate evidence of the authority of such individual to act on our behalf.

4


2.7 Valid Obligation. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered me/us or on our behalf and, if and when accepted by Triangle Petroleum, in whole or in part, will constitute my/our legal, valid, and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (except as limited by principles of equity or bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally).

2.8 ERISA Matters. If we are an employee benefit plan within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"):

(a) We and our plan fiduciaries are not affiliated with, and are independent of Triangle Petroleum, and are informed of and understand Triangle Petroleum's investment objectives, policies, and strategies.

(b) We represent that the purchase of the Units will not involve any transaction that is subject to the prohibition of Section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a penalty could be imposed under Section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax could be imposed pursuant to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

(c)  The trustee or other plan fiduciary directing the investment:

(i) in making the proposed investment, is aware of and has taken into consideration the diversification requirements of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA; and

(ii) has concluded that the proposed investment in Triangle Petroleum is prudent and is consistent with the other applicable fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA.

(d) This Agreement has been duly executed on our behalf by a duly designated Named Fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 402(a)(2) of ERISA).

(e) If we are an individual retirement account (IRA) or employee benefit plan not subject to Title I of ERISA, such as a governmental or church plan, the owner of the individual retirement account or other fiduciary directing the investment of the plan has concluded that the proposed investment in Units is prudent and consistent with its fiduciary responsibilities, if any.

2.9 Fees and Commissions. No fees or commissions have been paid or are payable by me/us in connection with this Agreement and the issuance of Units to me/us.

3. Registration Rights Agreement; Power of Attorney. I/we further agree to be bound by the terms of and hereby execute the Registration Rights Agreement between Triangle Petroleum and the purchasers of the Units of Triangle Petroleum being offered pursuant to the Offering (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). By signing below, I/we irrevocably constitute and appoint Canaccord Adams Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Canaccord"), as my/our true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and full power and authority in my/our name, place, and stead to execute and deliver the Registration Rights Agreement and to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. The power of attorney hereby granted will be deemed coupled with an interest, will be irrevocable, and will survive and not be affected by my/our subsequent death, incapacity, dissolution, insolvency, or termination or any delivery by me/us of an assignment in whole or in part of my/our Units. The foregoing power of attorney may be exercised by Canaccord either by signing separately or jointly as attorney-in-fact for each or all of the subscribers for the Units or by a single signature of Canaccord acting as attorney-in-fact for all of them. Triangle Petroleum may rely and act upon any writing believed in good faith to be signed by Canaccord or any authorized representative of Canaccord, and may assume that all actions of Canaccord and any authorized representative of Canaccord have been duly authorized by me/us.

Each Eligible Holder's preemptive share is equal to the ratio of (a) the number of shares of Triangle Petroleum's Common Stock of which such Eligible Holder is deemed to be a holder immediately prior to the issuance of such Equity Securities to (b) the total number of shares of Triangle Petroleum's outstanding Common Stock (including all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of any security of Triangle Petroleum or upon the exercise of any outstanding warrants, options, or rights to subscribe to or purchase any Common Stock or other security of Triangle Petroleum) immediately prior to the issuance of the Equity Securities. For purposes of this Section 4, "Holder" is defined as me/us, or any of my/our successors or Permitted Assignees (as defined below), who acquire rights in accordance with this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities (as defined below) directly or indirectly from me/us or any Permitted Assignee. "Permitted Assignee" means (a) with respect to a partnership, its partners or former partners in accordance with their partnership interests, (b) with respect to a corporation, its shareholders in accordance with their interest in the corporation, (c) with respect to a limited liability company, its members or former members in accordance with their interest in the limited liability company, (d) with respect to an individual party, any Family Member (as defined below) of such party, (e) an entity that is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with a transferor, or (f) a party to this Agreement.

"Registrable Securities" means the Warrant Shares excluding (A) any Registrable Securities that have been publicly sold or may be publicly sold immediately without registration under the Act either pursuant to Rule 144(b) of the Act or otherwise; (B) any Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Act; or (C) any Registrable Securities that are at the time subject to an effective registration statement under the Act.

4.2 Exercise of Preemptive Rights. If Triangle Petroleum issues any Equity Securities in a transaction to which the preemptive rights set forth in Section 4.1 apply, it shall give each Eligible Holder written notice of such issuance, describing the Equity Securities and the price and the terms and conditions upon which Triangle Petroleum issued the same and shall provide each Eligible Holder with access to any information regarding such offering and Triangle Petroleum, provided to the purchasers of Equity Securities. Each Eligible Holder shall have ten business days from the giving of such notice to exercise its preemptive right to purchase Equity Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the notice by giving written notice to Triangle Petroleum and stating therein the quantity of Equity Securities to be purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Triangle Petroleum shall not be required to offer or sell such Equity Securities to any Holder who would cause Triangle Petroleum to be in violation of applicable federal securities laws by virtue of such offer or sale.

6


4.3 Issuance of Equity Securities to Other Persons. Triangle Petroleum shall have 90 days after expiration of the ten business day period set forth in Section 4.2 above to sell the Equity Securities in respect of which the Holders' rights were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms and conditions materially no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in Triangle Petroleum's notice to the Eligible Holders pursuant to Section 4.2 above. If Triangle Petroleum has not sold such Equity Securities within 90 days of the notice provided pursuant to Section 4.2 above, Triangle Petroleum shall not thereafter issue or sell any Equity Securities, without first offering such securities to the Eligible Holders in the manner provided above.
 
4.4 Termination and Waiver of Preemptive Rights. The preemptive rights established by this Section 4 shall terminate twelve months after the closing.
 
4.5 Excluded Securities. The preemptive rights established by this Section 4 shall have no application to any of the following Equity Securities:
 
(a) shares of Common Stock (and/or options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights issued pursuant to such options, warrants or other rights) issued or to be issued after the date hereof to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to Triangle Petroleum or any subsidiary, pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the board of directors of Triangle Petroleum;
 
(b) capital stock of Triangle Petroleum issued or issuable pursuant to any rights or agreements outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, options and warrants outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, and capital stock issued pursuant to or upon the exercise of any such rights or agreements granted after the date of this Agreement; provided that in the case of rights or agreements granted after the date of this Agreement, the pre-emptive right established by this Section 4 applied with respect to the initial sale or grant by Triangle Petroleum of such rights or agreements and such rights or agreements were approved by the board of directors of Triangle Petroleum;

(c) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any stock split, dividend, combination, distribution, or recapitalization; or

(d) any Equity Securities issued (i) for consideration other than cash in connection with any merger, consolidation, strategic alliance, acquisition, or similar business combination approved by the board of directors of Triangle Petroleum or (ii) any public offering registered with the Commission under the Act.

5.  Waiver, Amendment, Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof shall be modified, changed, discharged, or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom any waiver, change, discharge, or termination is sought.

6.  Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation, or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by Triangle Petroleum or me/us without the prior written consent of the other.

Exhibit 10.2

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR SALE PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, (II) SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144(B), OR (III) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSFER MAY LAWFULLY BE MADE WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR QUALIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

THIS WARRANT SHALL BE VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON JUNE 3, 2010 (THE “EXPIRATION DATE”).

No. CA-[     ]
 
TRIANGLE PETROLEUM CORPORATION

WARRANT TO PURCHASE [ ] SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK, PAR VALUE $0.00001 PER SHARE

For VALUE RECEIVED, [     ] (“Warrantholder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from Triangle Petroleum Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Company”), at any time not later than 5:00 P.M., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date (as defined above), at an exercise price per share equal to $2.25 (the exercise price in effect being herein called the “Warrant Price”), [    ] shares (“Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”). The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein.

Section 1. Registration. The Company shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of the Warrant. Upon the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and register the Warrant in the name of the Warrantholder.

Section 2. Transfers. As provided herein, this Warrant may be transferred only pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption from such registration. Subject to such restrictions, the Company shall transfer this Warrant from time to time upon the books to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, upon surrender thereof for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Company, including, if required by the Company, an opinion of its counsel to the effect that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to establish that such transfer is being made in accordance with the terms hereof, and a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be canceled by the Company.


Section 3. Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time prior to its expiration upon surrender of the Warrant, together with delivery of the duly executed Warrant exercise form attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Exercise Agreement”) and payment by cash, certified check or wire transfer of funds for the aggregate Warrant Price for that number of Warrant Shares then being purchased, to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Warrantholder). The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder or the Warrantholder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered (or evidence of loss, theft or destruction thereof and security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company), the Warrant Price shall have been paid and the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the Warrantholder within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Warrantholder and shall be registered in the name of the Warrantholder or such other name as shall be designated by the Warrantholder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. As used herein, “business day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks in New York City are open for the general transaction of business. Each exercise hereof shall constitute the re-affirmation by the Warrantholder that the representations and warranties contained in Section 2 of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) are true and correct in all material respects with respect to the Warrantholder as of the time of such exercise.

Section 4. Compliance with the Securities Act of 1933. Except as provided in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below), the Company may cause the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant to be set forth on each Warrant or similar legend on any security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such security that such legend is unnecessary.

Section 5. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Warrantholder in respect of which such shares are issued, and in such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Warrant Shares or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such tax has been paid. The Warrantholder shall be responsible for income taxes due under federal, state or other law, if any such tax is due.

-2-


Section 6. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution of and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and for the purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with respect thereto, if requested by the Company.

Section 7. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company hereby represents and warrants that there have been reserved, and the Company shall at all applicable times keep reserved until issued (if necessary) as contemplated by this Section 7, out of the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, sufficient shares to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant. The Company agrees that all Warrant Shares issued upon due exercise of the Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Warrant Shares, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company.

Section 8. Adjustments. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, unless waived in a particular case by the Warrantholder, the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth hereinafter.

(a) If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective, shall be adjusted by the Company so that the Warrantholder thereafter exercising the Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock which the Warrantholder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such event upon payment of a Warrant Price that has been adjusted to reflect a fair allocation of the economics of such event to the Warrantholder. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

-3-

(b) If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Warrantholder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder, at the last address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Warrantholder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.

(c) In case the Company shall fix a payment date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus or dividends or distributions referred to in Section 8(a)), or subscription rights or warrants, the Warrant Price to be in effect after such payment date shall be determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such payment date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the Market Price (as defined below) per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or of such subscription rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date. “Market Price” as of a particular date (the “Valuation Date”) shall mean the following: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed on a national stock exchange, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on such exchange on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date; (b) if the Common Stock is then quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”), the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. OTC Bulletin Board (the “Bulletin Board”) or such similar exchange or association, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on Nasdaq, the Bulletin Board or such other exchange or association on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date or, if no such closing sale price is available, the average of the high bid and the low asked price quoted thereon on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date; or (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on Nasdaq, the Bulletin Board or such other exchange or association, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as of the Valuation Date, shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Warrantholder. If the Common Stock is not then listed on a national securities exchange, the Bulletin Board or such other exchange or association, the Board of Directors of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Warrantholder prior to the exercise hereunder as to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event that the Board of Directors of the Company and the Warrantholder are unable to agree upon the fair market value in respect of subpart (c) hereof, the Company and the Warrantholder shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters. The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall be borne equally by the Company and the Warrantholder. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a payment date is fixed.

-4-


(d) An adjustment to the Warrant Price shall become effective immediately after the payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date of each other event which requires an adjustment.

(e) In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this Warrant.
 
Section 9. Fractional Interest. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 9, be deliverable upon such exercise, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the exercising Warrantholder an amount in cash equal to the Market Price of such fractional share of Common Stock on the date of exercise.

Section 10. Benefits. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation (other than the Company and the Warrantholder) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim, it being agreed that this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Warrantholder.

Section 11. Notices to Warrantholder. Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Warrantholder at the address appearing in the records of the Company, stating the adjusted Warrant Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Failure to give such notice to the Warrantholder or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the subject adjustment.

Section 12. Identity of Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is Continental Stock and Transfer Company. Upon the appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Common Stock or other shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrant, the Company will mail to the Warrantholder a statement setting forth the name and address of such transfer agent.

-5-

Section 13. Notices. Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under this Warrant shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given as hereinafter described (i) if given by personal delivery, then such notice shall be deemed given upon such delivery, (ii) if given by telex or facsimile, then such notice shall be deemed given upon receipt of confirmation of complete transmittal, (iii) if given by mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (A) receipt of such notice by the recipient or (B) three days after such notice is deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid, and (iv) if given by an internationally recognized overnight air courier, then such notice shall be deemed given one business day after delivery to such carrier. All notices shall be addressed as follows: if to the Warrantholder, at its address as set forth in the Company’s books and records and, if to the Company, at the address as follows, or at such other address as the Warrantholder or the Company may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other:

EACH OF THE COMPANY AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE WARRANTHOLDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS WARRANT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.
 
Section 17. No Rights as Stockholder. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall not have or exercise any rights as a stockholder of the Company by virtue of its ownership of this Warrant.

Section 18. Amendment; Waiver. This Warrant is one of a series of Warrants of like tenor (collectively, the “Company Warrants”), issued by the Company pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated May [ ], 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”).

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence, any Warrantholder shall have the right to waive for itself only any adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 8 hereof.

Section 19. Section Headings. The section headings in this Warrant are for the convenience of the Company and the Warrantholder and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit or restrict the provisions hereof.

(c) the Common Stock generally or the Registrable Securities specifically are not listed or included for quotation on an Approved Market, or trading of the Common Stock is suspended or halted on the Approved Market, which at the time constitutes the principal market for the Common Stock, for more than two full, consecutive Trading Days; provided, however, a Registration Event shall not be deemed to occur if all or substantially all trading in equity securities (including the Common Stock) is suspended or halted on the Approved Market for any length of time.

"Registration Statement" means the registration statement required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 3(a).

"Rule 415" means Rule 415 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission having substantially the same purpose and effect as such Rule.

"Trading Day" means a day on which (a) the national securities exchange, (b) the Nasdaq Stock Market, or (c) such other securities market, in any such case which at the time constitutes the principal securities market for the Common Stock, is open for general trading of securities.

2. Term. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a period of two (2) years from the Effective Date, unless terminated sooner hereunder.

3. Registration.

(a) Registration on Form S-1 or Form S-3. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, and within 60 days following the Closing Date, the Company shall file with the Commission a shelf registration statement on Form S-1, or, if available, Form S-3 relating to the resale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification, or compliance pursuant to this Section 3(a), or keep such registration effective pursuant to Section 4: (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction (or to execute a general consent to service of process) in effecting such registration, qualification, or compliance, in each case where it has not already done so; or (ii) during any Blackout Period.

(b) Failure to File Registration Statement. If a Registration Event occurs, then the Company will make payments to each Purchaser as partial liquidated damages for the minimum amount of damages to the Purchaser by reason thereof, and not as a penalty, at a rate equal to one percent (1.0%) of the Offering Price per Unit held by such Purchaser per month, for each calendar month of the Registration Default Period or portion thereof, provided that partial liquidated damages shall not be paid with respect to those Registrable Securities which cannot be registered under Rule 415 solely as a result of action by the Commission. The partial liquidated damages shall not exceed an aggregate of 5.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement. Each such payment shall be due and payable within five days after the end of each calendar month of the Registration Default Period until the termination of the Registration Default Period and within five days after such termination. Such payments shall be in partial compensation to the Purchaser, and shall not constitute the Purchaser's exclusive remedy for such events. The Registration Default Period shall terminate upon (i) the SEC Effective Date in the case of clause (a) of the definition of "Registration Event," (ii) the ability of the Purchaser to effect sales pursuant to the Registration Statement in the case of clause (b) of the definition of "Registration Event," and (iii) the listing or inclusion and/or trading of the Common Stock on an Approved Market, as the case may be, in the case of clause (c) of the definition of "Registration Event." The amounts payable as partial liquidated damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable in lawful money of the United States. Amounts payable as partial liquidated damages to each Purchaser hereunder with respect to each share of Registrable Securities shall cease when the Purchaser no longer holds such share of Registrable Securities.

4. Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Company will keep each Holder reasonably advised in writing (which may include e-mail) as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. With respect to any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 3, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to:

4

 
(a) prepare and file with the Commission with respect to such Registrable Securities, a registration statement on Form S-1, or any other form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate, and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible and remain effective at least for a period ending with the first to occur of (i) the sale of all Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, or (ii) two years after the Closing Date (in each case, the "Effectiveness Period"); provided that no later than two business days before filing with the Commission a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall (i) furnish to (A) one special counsel ("Holders' Counsel") selected by the Company for the benefit of the Holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (excluding any exhibits other than applicable underwriting documents), in substantially the form proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review of such Holders' Counsel, and (ii) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered. Each Holder, severally and not jointly agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B (a Selling Holder Questionnaire) not more than ten Trading Days after the Closing Date;

(b) if a registration statement is subject to review by the Commission, promptly respond to all comments and diligently pursue resolution of any comments to the satisfaction of the Commission;

(c) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective during the Effectiveness Period (but in any event at least until expiration of the 90-day period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174, or any successor thereto, thereunder, if applicable), and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended method(s) of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;

(d) furnish, without charge, to each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement (i) a reasonable number of copies of such registration statement (including any exhibits thereto other than exhibits incorporated by reference), each amendment and supplement thereto as such Holder may request, (ii) such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act) as such Holders may request, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and (iii) such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder, but only during the Effectiveness Period;

(e) register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other applicable securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement reasonably requests as may be necessary for the marketability of the Registrable Securities within the United States (such request to be made by the time the applicable registration statement is deemed effective by the Commission) and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (e), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

5

 
(f) as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify each Holder of such Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event which comes to the Company's attention if as a result of such event the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and the Company shall promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a supplement or amendment to such prospectus (or prepare and file appropriate reports under the Exchange Act) so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, unless suspension of the use of such prospectus otherwise is authorized herein or in the event of a Blackout Period, in which case no supplement or amendment need be furnished (or Exchange Act filing made) until the termination of such suspension or Blackout Period;

(g) comply, and continue to comply during the period that such registration statement is effective under the Securities Act, in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months, but not more than 18 months, beginning with the first full calendar month after the SEC Effective Date, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(h) as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify each Holder of Registrable Securities being offered or sold pursuant to the Registration Statement of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible time;

(i) permit the Holders of Registrable Securities being included in the Registration Statement and their legal counsel, at such Holder's sole cost and expense (except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 6) to review and have a reasonable opportunity to comment on the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least two Business Days prior to their filing with the Commission;

(j)  make available for inspection by any Holder and any Inspector retained by such Holder, at such Holder's sole expense, all records as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such Holder to exercise its due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors, and employees to supply all information which such Holder or any Inspector may reasonably request for purposes of such due diligence; provided, however, that such Holder shall hold in confidence and shall not make any disclosure of any information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination such Holder is so notified at the time such Holder receives such information, unless (i) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement and a reasonable time prior to such disclosure the Holder shall have informed the Company of the need to so correct such misstatement or omission and the Company shall have failed to correct such misstatement of omission, (ii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) the information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this agreement. The Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential information to any Inspector until and unless such Inspector shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto, substantially in the form of this Section 4(j). Each Holder agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the information deemed confidential. The Company shall hold in confidence and shall not make any disclosure of information concerning a Holder provided to the Company pursuant to this Agreement unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) disclosure of such information to the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance is necessary to respond to comments raised by the Staff in its review of the Registration Statement, (iii) disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement, (iv) release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (v) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Holder is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to such Holder and allow such Holder, at such Holder's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information;

6

 
(k) use its best efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed or quoted on the principal securities market on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed or traded;

(l) provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities at all times;

(m) cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities being offered pursuant to the Registration Statement to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as the Holders may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Holders may request; and

(n) take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Holders of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

5. Suspension of Offers and Sales. Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(f) hereof or of the commencement of an Blackout Period, such Holder shall discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4(f) hereof or notice of the end of the Blackout Period, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies (including, without limitation, any and all drafts), other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the period mentioned in Section 4(a)(iii) hereof shall be extended by the greater of (i) ten business days or (ii) the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 4(f) hereof to and including the date when each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4(f) hereof.

6. Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with any registration, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, stock exchange and NASD fees, printing expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of its independent accountants; provided that, in any underwritten registration, each party shall pay for its own underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions or any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

7

 
7. Assignment of Rights. No Holder may assign its rights under this Agreement to any party without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that a Holder may assign its rights under this Agreement without such restrictions to a Permitted Assignee as long as (a) such transfer or assignment is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement; and (c) the Company is given written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned.

8. Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may request in writing.

9. Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.

10. Indemnification.

(a) In the event of the offer and sale of Registrable Securities held by Holders under the Securities Act, the Company shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, its directors, officers, partners, each other person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, and each other person, if any, who controls or is under common control with such Holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses to which the Holder or any such director, officer, partner, or underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made not misleading, and the Company shall reimburse the Holder, and each such director, officer, partner, underwriter, and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending, or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, or proceeding; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to, and the Company shall not be liable, in any such case (i) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof), or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment, or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of such Holder specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof, (ii) provided that the Company has complied with its obligations hereunder to furnish such Holder with copies of the applicable prospectus, if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, or liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) who purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof did not receive a copy of an amended preliminary prospectus or the final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities to such person because of the failure of such Holder or underwriter to so provide such amended preliminary or final prospectus and the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the amended preliminary or final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented), or (iii) provided that the plan of distribution mechanics described in the applicable prospectus are, in form and substance, reasonable and customary for transactions of this type, to the extent that the Holders failed to comply with the terms of such plan of distribution mechanics. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holders, or any such director, officer, partner, underwriter, or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such shares by the Holder.

8

 
(b) As a condition to including any Registrable Securities to be offered by a Holder in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, each such Holder agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 10 and to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling person within the meaning of the Securities Act of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about such Holder as a Holder of the Company furnished to the Company, (ii) provided that the Company has complied with its obligations hereunder to furnish such Holder with copies of the applicable prospectus, if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, or liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) who purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof did not receive a copy of an amended preliminary prospectus or the final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities to such person because of the failure of such Holder or underwriter to so provide such amended preliminary or final prospectus and the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the amended preliminary or final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented), or (iii) provided that the plan of distribution mechanics described in the applicable prospectus are, in form and substance, reasonable and customary for transactions of this type, to the extent that the Holders failed to comply with the terms of such plan of distribution mechanics. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holders, or any such director, officer, partner, underwriter, or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such shares by the Holder, and such Holder shall reimburse the Company, and each such director, officer, legal counsel and accountants, underwriter, other Holder, and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending, or settling and such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, or proceeding; provided, however, that such indemnity agreement found in this Section 10(b) shall in no event exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer, or controlling person and shall survive the transfer by any Holder of such shares.

9


(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Section 10(a) or (b) hereof (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Section 10(a) or (b) hereof, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such indemnified party a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist or the indemnified party may have defenses not available to the indemnifying party in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof or the indemnifying party fails to defend such claim in a diligent manner, other than reasonable costs of investigation. Neither an indemnified nor an indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event any party shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim.

(d) In the event that an indemnifying party does or is not permitted to assume the defense of an action pursuant to Section 10(c) or in the case of the expense reimbursement obligation set forth in Section 10(a) and (b), the indemnification required by Section 10(a) and (b) hereof shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills received or expenses, losses, damages, or liabilities are incurred.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall (i) contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as is appropriate to reflect the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission), or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, not only the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding subsections of this Section 10 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the Securities Act.

10

 
11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the United States of America, both substantive and remedial. Any judicial proceeding brought hereto shall be brought in the courts of the State of New York, New York County, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and, by its execution and delivery of this agreement, each party to this Agreement accepts the jurisdiction of such courts. The foregoing consent to jurisdiction shall not be deemed to confer rights on any person other than the parties to this Agreement.

(b) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, Permitted Assigns, executors, and administrators of the parties hereto. In the event the Company merges with, or is otherwise acquired by, a direct or indirect subsidiary of a publicly traded company, the Company shall condition the merger or acquisition on the assumption by such parent company of the Company's obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof.

(d) Notices, etc. All notices or other communications which are required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and sufficient if delivered by hand, by facsimile transmission, by registered or certified mail, postage pre-paid, by electronic mail, or by courier or overnight carrier, to the persons at the addresses set forth below (or at such other address as may be provided hereunder), and shall be deemed to have been delivered as of the date so delivered:

(e) Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any Holder of any Registrable Securities, upon any breach or default of the Company under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such Holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereunder occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS’ QUESTIONNAIRE
 
The following information is requested from you in connection with the preparation and filing by Triangle Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or other appropriate form (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying Warrants by certain stockholders.

We would appreciate your answering all of the questions included in this questionnaire, even though your answers may be in the negative, so that the Company will have a record of your responses for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement. It is requested that you give careful attention to each question and that you complete this questionnaire personally.

In order to assist you in completing this questionnaire, certain terms used herein are defined in the appendix which is attached to this questionnaire. Each of such defined terms has been bolded and italicized for identification. The term “person,” as used in this questionnaire, means any natural person, company, government or political subdivision, agency or instrumentality of a government.

After you have completed the following questionnaire, please send the completed questionnaire by facsimile ((212) 930-9725) or overnight courier as soon as possible to the attention of James M. Turner at Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP, 61 Broadway, 32nd Floor, New York, New York 10006.

B-1


Securities Holdings
 
1. Please fill in all blanks in the following questions related to your beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock. Generally, the term “beneficial ownership” refers to any direct or indirect interest in the securities which entitles you to any of the rights or benefits of ownership, even though you may not be the holder of record of the securities. For example, securities held in “street name” over which you exercise voting or investment power would be considered beneficially owned by you. Other examples of indirect ownership include ownership by a partnership in which you are a partner or by an estate or trust of which you or any member of your immediate family is a beneficiary. Ownership of securities held in the names of your spouse, minor children or other relatives who live in the same household may be attributed to you.

If you have any reason to believe that any interest in securities of the Company which you may have, however remote, is a beneficial interest, please describe such interest. For purposes of responding to this questionnaire, it is preferable to err on the side of inclusion rather than exclusion. Where the SEC’s interpretation of beneficial ownership would require disclosure of you interest or possible interest in certain securities of the Company, and you believe that you do not actually possess the attributes of beneficial ownership, an appropriate response is to disclose the interest and at the same time disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities.

Please indicate the amount of common stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which you beneficially owned as of the date hereof.

For each holding:

 
·
 
State the nature of the holding (i.e., held in your own name, jointly, as a trustee or beneficiary of a trust, as a custodian, as an executor, in discretionary accounts, by your spouse or minor children, by a partnership of which you are a partner, etc.), and
 
 
·
 
State whether you are the beneficial owner by reason of (i) sole voting power, (ii) shared voting power, (iii) sole investment power, (iv) shared investment power, (v) the right to acquire stock within 60 days of the end of the calendar year, and/or (vi) the right to acquire stock with the purpose of changing or influencing control.
 
 
·
 
Indicate in the Remarks column whether you have sole or shared voting or investment power with respect to any such securities, and in what capacity (i.e., individual, general partner, trustee) you have such power or powers.
 
 
·
 
If you wish to disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares listed, so indicate by writing the word “Disclaim” in the Remarks column below; and you understand that such shares will be shown separately from your beneficial holdings and an appropriate disclaimer set forth.
 
 
·
 
If any of the shares listed are subject to any claim, encumbrance, pledge or lien, so indicate in the Remarks column.

Exhibit 99.2

 
For Immediate Release
Triangle Petroleum Completes $25.5 Million
Funding and Provides Test Well Update
 
Calgary, Alberta June 4, 2008 Triangle Petroleum Corporation (the “Company” or “Triangle”) (OTCBB: TPLM) is pleased to announce that it has raised $25.5 million through the private placement of 18,257,500 units priced at $1.40 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of a warrant. One full warrant can be exercised into one share of common stock for a period of two years at a price of $2.25 per share. The net proceeds of $23.6 million will be used to repay $4 million of secured convertible debentures, to fund a portion of the drilling program in the Maritimes Basin and for general working capital. Canaccord Adams Inc. acted as placement agent for this offering.

Mark Gustafson, President and CEO of Triangle, commented, “This funding really strengthens our balance sheet. We look forward to selecting one or more joint venture partners for our Maritimes Basin exploration program. We would like to thank Canaccord Adams and our advisors for their contributions to this funding.”

Operationally, Triangle is preparing to conclude a final flow test on the Kennetcook #2 vertical test well. This test well has flowed up to 60 thousand cubic feet of gas per day. Following the installation of an electric submersible pump, all frac water and a small amount of formation water have been recovered from the well. The formation water appears to be limited in volume and the Company believes the water source has been substantially depleted and does not appear to significantly impede gas flow. The Company will proceed with a pressure buildup test, to further enhance its understanding of reservoir properties and frac effectiveness.

Howard Anderson, Triangle’s Vice-President of Engineering and Chief Operating Officer, stated, “The KC #1 and KC #2 vertical test wells have fulfilled their purpose by contributing valuable geological information, leading to the Ryder Scott Resource Potential report which indicates 69 TCF of original gas in place on a portion of the acreage within the Windsor Block. As a bonus, the KC #2 test well, although originally designed for geological data collection, has clearly demonstrated that the shale will freely produce gas into a vertical wellbore. The Company plans to use the data gleaned from the two wells and its extensive seismic database to embark upon a multi-well drilling program.”

Both Ryder Scott and Triangle do not purport to classify any of the resource potential as reserves, under any definition of reserve category. For a complete copy of the Ryder Scott Resource Assessment Report, please visit www.trianglepetroleum.com.
