(a) The term "Company" shall include Lahaina Acquisitions,
Inc. and any corporation that shall succeed or assume the obligations
of such corporation hereunder.
(b) The term "Common Stock" includes (a) the Company's common
stock, no par value per share, (b) any other capital stock of any class
or classes (however designated) of the Company, authorized on or after
such date, the Holders of which shall have the right, without
limitation as to amount, either to all or to a share of the balance of
current dividends and liquidating dividends after the payment of
dividends and distributions on any shares entitled to preference, and
the Holders of which shall ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies,
be entitled to vote for the election of a majority of directors of the
Company (even though the right so to vote has been suspended by the
happening of such a contingency) and (c) any other securities into

that at any time shall be issuable or shall have been issued in
exchange for or in replacement of Common Stock or Other Securities

1. Exercise of Warrant.
1.1 Method of Exercise.
(a) This warrant may be exercised in whole or in part (but not
as to a fractional share of Common Stock), at any time and from time to
time during the Exercise Period by the Holder hereof by delivery of a
notice of exercise (a "Notice of Exercise") substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A via facsimile to the Company. Promptly
thereafter the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company at
its principal office, accompanied by payment of the Purchase Price
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is being exercised (the "Exercise Price"). Payment of the
Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder, (i) by check
or bank draft payable to the order of the Company, (ii) by wire
transfer to the account of the Company, (iii) in shares of Common Stock
having a Market Value on the Exercise Date (as hereinafter defined)
equal to the aggregate Exercise Price or (iv) by presentation and
surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cashless exercise (a
"Cashless Exercise"), which such surrender being deemed a waiver of the
Holder's obligation to pay all or any portion of the Exercise Price. In
the event the Holder elects a Cashless Exercise (which such election
shall be irrevocable) the Holder shall exchange this Warrant for that
number of shares of Common Stock determined
2
3
by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock being exercised by
a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the
then current Market Value of the Common Stock and the Purchase Price,
and the denominator of which shall be the then current Market Value of
the Common Stock.
If the amount of the payment received by the Company is less
than the Exercise Price, the Holder will be notified of the deficiency
and shall make payment in that amount within five (5) business days. In
the event the payment exceeds the Exercise Price, the Company will
promptly refund the excess to the Holder. Upon exercise, the Holder
shall be entitled to receive, promptly refund the excess to the Holder.
Upon exercise, the Holder shall be entitled to receive,
promptly after payment in full, one or more certificates, issued in the
Holder's name or in such name or names as the Holder may direct,
subject to the limitations on transfer contained herein, for the number
of shares of Common Stock so purchased. The shares of Common Stock so
purchased shall be deemed to be issued as of the close of business on
the date on which the Company shall have received from the Holder
payment in full of the Exercise Price (the "Exercise Date").
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
upon exercise of all or a portion of this Warrant in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Warrant to the Company. Rather, records showing the
amount so exercised and the date of exercise shall be maintained on a
ledger substantially in the form of Annex B attached hereto (a copy of
which shall be delivered to the Company or transfer agent with each
Notice of Exercise). It is specifically contemplated that the Holder
hereof shall act as the calculation agent for all exercises of this
Warrant. In the event of any dispute or discrepancies, such records
maintained by the Holders shall be controlling and determinative in the
absence of manifest error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance
of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the
provisions of this paragraph, following an exercise of a portion of
this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock represented by this
Warrant will be the amount indicated on Annex B attached hereto (which
may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof).
1.2 Regulation D Restrictions. The Holder hereof represents
and warrants to the Company that it has acquired this Warrant and anticipates
acquiring the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
solely for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to or for
resale of such securities unless such resale has been registered with the
Commission or an applicable exemption is available therefor. At the time this
Warrant is exercised, the Company may require the Holder to state in the Notice
of Exercise such representations concerning the Holder as are necessary or
appropriate to assure compliance by the Holder with the Securities Act.
1.3 Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of
the exercise of this Warrant, upon request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in
writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder the registration
rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in
accordance with the provisions of a Registration Rights Agreement dated the
3
4
date hereof (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). If the Holder shall fail to
make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation
of the Company to afford such Holder any such rights.
1.4 Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding the rights of the
Holder to exercise all or a portion of this Warrant as described herein, such
exercise rights shall be limited, solely to the extent set forth in the Purchase
Agreement as if such provisions were specifically set forth herein. In addition,
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is
subject to reduction as specified in Section 6.2 of the Purchase Agreement.
2. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, and in any event within five (5)
business days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by
it of any applicable issue, stamp or transfer taxes) will cause to be issued in
the name of and delivered to the Holder thereof, or, to the extent permissible
hereunder, to such other person as such Holder may direct, a certificate or
certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such
exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would
otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then
applicable Purchase Price, together with any other stock or other securities and
property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled
upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
3. Adjustment for Extraordinary Events. The Purchase Price to be paid
by the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant, and the consideration to be
received upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be adjusted in case at any time or
from time to time pursuant to Article XI of the Purchase Agreement as if such
provisions were specifically set forth herein.
4. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate
of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this
warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of stock
receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on
such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
unassessable shares of stock on the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) will not
transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other
person (corporate or otherwise), or consolidate with or merge into any other
person or permit any such person to consolidate with or merge into the Company
(if the Company is not the surviving person), unless such other person shall
expressly assume in writing and will be bound by all the terms of this Warrant.
5. Accountant's Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any
adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will
promptly cause independent certified public accountants
4
5
of national standing selected by the Company to compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a
statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any
additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this
Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and
readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy
of each such certificate to the Holder of this Warrant, and will, on the written
request at any time of the Holder of this Warrant, furnish to such Holder a like
certificate setting forth the Purchase Price at the time in effect and showing
how it was calculated.
6. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the
Holders of any class or securities for the purpose of determining the
Holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise
acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the
Company to or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any
other person, or
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding- up of the Company,

recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or

shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) for then and in each such event the
