STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into this
9th day of December, 1997 by and among Biometric Technologies Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("BTC"), Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Palomar"), and Dynaco Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Dynaco").
BTC, Palomar and Dynaco will be referred to collectively in this Agreement as
the "Parties." The term "Sellers" refers to Palomar and Dynaco, collectively.
R E C I T A L S
A. Palomar is the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the
common stock of Dynaco (the "Dynaco Shares"). Dynaco is the owner of certain
issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Dynamem, Inc. ("Dynamem"),
Comtel Electronics, Inc. ("Comtel"), and 100% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of Electronic Packaging Interconnect Corp. ("EPIC"). EPIC is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Dynaco to which Dynaco has contributed all of the
assets of its Indra Technologies Division (the "IT Assets").
B. BTC has been formed by key members of Dynaco's management, with
Palomar's consent, to purchase certain Palomar subsidiaries and certain Dynaco
assets. The Sellers desire to sell, and BTC to buy, the issued and outstanding
shares of the common stock of Dynamem (the "Dynamem Stock"), Comtel (the "Comtel
Stock") and EPIC (the "EPIC Stock") (collectively, the "Phase I Transaction,").
Collectively the Dynamem Stock, Comtel Stock and the EPIC Stock are referred to
as the "Dynaco Assets." Concurrently with the close of the Phase I Transaction,
Palomar will cause Comtel to transfer upstream to Palomar that business of
Comtel relating to New
Media, Inc. (including certain related assets and liabilities) existing as of
the close of the Phase I Transaction (the "New Media Transaction"), and to
assume certain liabilities related to the New Media Transaction.
C. Following the Phase I Transaction, BTC intends and will use good faith
efforts to acquire Ultra Scan, Inc. ("Ultra Scan"). BTC subsequently will use
all commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Form S-1 and to
effect and close an initial public offering for not less than $10,000,000 of its
common voting stock (the "IPO").
D. Following the close of the IPO, or June 30, 1998, whichever occurs
first, BTC intends to purchase from Palomar, and Palomar intends to sell to BTC
the Dynaco Shares, (hereinafter the "Phase II Transaction").
E. The Boards of Directors of BTC and the Sellers have determined that it
is in the best interests of their respective shareholders to enter into the
Phase I and Phase II Transactions (collectively, the "Transactions"), and the
Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and
conditions of the Transactions and their representations, warranties and
covenants made to induce the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:
1

1.1 SALE AND PURCHASE OF DYNACO ASSETS. The Sellers hereby sell to BTC, and
BTC purchases from Sellers, the Dynaco Assets for the purchase price and on the
terms and conditions described below.
1.1.1 SALE OF DYNAMEM AND COMTEL STOCK. In reliance upon the
representations, warranties and covenants of the Parties, and on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Sellers hereby sell,
convey, transfer, assign and deliver to BTC, and BTC hereby purchases, acquires
and accepts from Sellers, all of the Dynamem Stock and the Comtel Stock held by
Palomar, constituting, respectively, eight thousand (8,000) shares of Dynamem's

to its incorporation as EPIC. The IT Assets are conveyed to EPIC "As Is" and
where presently located. Sellers shall have the right, at their sole expense, to
make copies of all of the records and documents in the IT Assets, at the time of
the Phase I Closing Date or thereafter, for commercially reasonable business
purposes not inconsistent with this Agreement (e.g., filing of tax returns and
compliance with governmental requirements or inquiries).
1.2 PHASE I PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for the Dynaco Assets shall
be $3,654,000 (the "Phase I Purchase Price"), which shall be payable to Palomar

1.2.1 $850,000, which shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.A (the "Down Payment Note") and which will be
secured by a Pledge and Security Agreement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 2.B. The collateral to be pledged by BTC to secure the Down Payment Note
shall be publicly tradeable securities; such collateral shall at all times be
maintained as more particularly provided in the Pledge and Security Agreement
set forth at Exhibit 2.B.
1.2.2 The balance shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the
amount of $2,804,000 (the "Palomar Note"), attached hereto as Exhibit 2.C and
incorporated by this reference.
1.3 PHASE I TRANSACTION SPECIAL COVENANTS.
1.3.1 NEW MEDIA TRANSACTION. Concurrently with the Phase I Closing
Date (as defined in Section 7.1.1 below), Palomar shall cause Comtel to transfer
upstream to Palomar that business of Comtel with New Media, Inc., described in
Exhibit 3.A (the "Transferred Assets and Liabilities"). Any liability of Comtel
(including, without limitation, the obligation to perform any contracts) arising

from, the Transferred Assets and Liabilities. Palomar shall indemnify and hold
BTC harmless for, from and against any such liabilities (including attorneys'
fees and costs and expert fees and costs incurred in defending any claims
arising from such liabilities) related to Transferred Assets and Liabilities. As
of the Phase I Closing Date, Comtel's balance sheet shall appear substantially
in the form set forth in Exhibit 3.B. As a result of the New Media Transaction,
Palomar shall, as of the Phase I Closing Date (as defined in Section 7.1.1
below), assume all liabilities and shall acquire all assets of Comtel related to
any business now or previously conducted between Comtel and New Media. The
assets described in Exhibit 3.C as the retained assets (the "Retained Assets")
shall be retained by Comtel and, upon the Phase I Closing Date, Comtel shall
have all rights to the Retained Assets (and, except as described in Exhibit 3.B,
shall perform all obligations related to such assets), which shall inure to the
benefit of Comtel and BTC.
1.3.2 PHASE I INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. At the Phase I Closing,
Sellers, as part of the sale of the Dynaco Assets, hereby sell, transfer, convey
and assign to BTC, and BTC purchases from Sellers, the goodwill of the business,
including all the Intellectual Property Rights (as defined in Section 11.5)
associated with or used in connection with the Dynaco Assets or the business
conducted by Comtel, Dynamem, the Indra Technologies Division of Dynaco and
EPIC. Sellers each agree to execute and deliver to BTC such assignments and
other documents as may be necessary to reflect such sale and assignment on the
records of any governmental agencies, including the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office. BTC acknowledges that the sale, conversion, transfer and assignment of
the Intellectual Property Rights is As Is, without any warranty whatsoever from
Sellers. Sellers reserve the right, at their sole expense, to make copies of the
records or documents evidencing the Intellectual Property Rights at the time of
the Phase II Closing and, thereafter, for commercially reasonable business
purposes not inconsistent with this Agreement (e.g., complying with governmental
regulations, defending patent infringement claims, etc.).
1.3.3 PALOMAR FUNDING; CASH FLOW PROJECTIONS. Dynaco and Xxxx Xxxxxx
will promptly provide Palomar and BTC with Dynaco's cash flow projections
(sources and uses of cash) from October 1, 1997, through June 30, 1998. Palomar
and BTC have approved such projections as set forth in Exhibit 4. Palomar agrees
that through the Phase I Closing Date Palomar will continue to fund the
operations of Dynaco and its subsidiaries (Dynamem, Comtel and the operations
associated with EPIC and the Indra Technologies Division of Dynaco), in
accordance with the funding commitment set forth in Exhibit 4, attached hereto
and, which, by this reference, is incorporated herein; provided that the need
for such amount is both justified by Dynaco and is necessary to maintain Dynaco
as a viable business or going concern. If the monthly or aggregate amount
required by Dynaco exceeds the monthly or aggregate amount scheduled to be
funded by Palomar as provided in Exhibit 4 (the "Excess Funding"), BTC agrees to
provide such Excess Funding to Dynaco; provided that the need for such amount is
both justified by Dynaco and is necessary to maintain Dynaco as a viable
business or going concern.
1.3.4 USE OF NAME. Upon the Phase I Closing Date, Sellers, as part of
the sale of the Dynaco Assets, shall sell, assign and grant to BTC the goodwill
and all Sellers rights to use and to transact business under the names
"Dynamem," "Comtel Electronics," "IT," "ITI" and "Indra Technologies," "EPIC"
and "Electronic Interconnect Packaging Corp." and BTC shall acquire all patents,
trademarks and trade names associated with the IT Assets or used by the Indra
Technologies Division, Dynamem and by Comtel, and all goodwill associated
therewith.
1.3.5 NEXAR TRANSACTION. Concurrently with the Phase I Closing Date
(as defined in Section 7.1.1. below), Palomar will cause Comtel to transfer
upstream to Palomar the "CBC Liabilities," as defined below, relating to loans
made to Comtel by Coast Business Credit, a division of Southern Pacific Thrift
and Loan Association ("CBC"), and Palomar will assume the CBC Liabilities and
Palomar shall hold Comtel harmless from any and all claims or demands relating
to the CBC Liabilities. The CBC Liabilities are set forth in Exhibit 3.D and
shall equal that portion of the CBC loan to Comtel that was secured by the Nexar
Receivables that have become ineligible as collateral as of November 1, 1997,
for the CBC loan under the applicable CBC loan documents. Comtel shall retain,
as an asset, all receivables due it from Nexar, Inc. (the "Nexar Receivable")
and after the Phase I Closing Date transfer it to BTC for collection. From and
after the Phase I Closing Date, BTC shall use all reasonable good faith efforts
to collect the Nexar Receivable. BTC agrees that it will cause the first
$621,000 of the Nexar Receivable collected by BTC to be paid promptly to
Palomar, in consideration of Palomar assuming the CBC Liabilities.
ARTICLE II
PHASE II TRANSACTION
2.1 SALE AND PURCHASE OF DYNACO SHARES. Following the Phase I Closing Date,
BTC will exercise good faith efforts and due diligence to (i) consummate the
acquisition of Ultra Scan; (ii) cause BTC to file with the SEC a registration
statement on the appropriate form to register a sufficient number of BTC's
shares ("IPO Shares") to raise the funds described in clause (iii) below; and
(iii) cause BTC to enter into an underwriting agreement with an underwriter
selected by BTC to effect an initial public offering of its shares resulting in
proceeds to BTC of not less than $10,000,000 (the "IPO"). On the Phase II
Closing Date, BTC will purchase from Palomar all the Dynaco Shares on the terms
and conditions as described in this Agreement.
2.2 PHASE II PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for the Dynaco Shares to be
purchased by BTC from Palomar is $5,346,000 (the "Phase II Purchase Price"),
subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 2.3, and shall be paid by BTC to
Palomar as follows:
2.2.1 BTC will pay cash in the amount of $2,673,000 to Palomar upon
the Phase II Closing Date.
2.2.2 Upon the Phase II Closing Date, BTC shall issue to Palomar that
number of shares of BTC common voting stock having a fair market value, as
determined by the price of the IPO shares, as offered to the public by the
underwriter on the IPO closing date (disregarding restrictions on transfer,
block discounts, or any other limitations on marketability), equal to $2,673,000
(the "BTC Shares").
2.2.3 Subject to satisfying underwriting requirements, Palomar shall
have the right to include the BTC Shares in any registration statement filed by
BTC with the SEC subsequent to the IPO, as more fully described in Exhibit 5
attached hereto. (In the event of any inconsistencies between this Section 2.2.3
and the Registration Agreement in Exhibit 5, the Registration Agreement in
Exhibit 5 shall govern.) Any "lock-up" period required by the underwriter,
applicable to the BTC Shares shall be no longer than the lock-up period
applicable to Xxxx Xxxxxx ("Xxxxxx") and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx ("Xxxxxxx"). Following
the IPO and the expiration of any lock-up and no-sale period required by the IPO
underwriter, Palomar shall have demand registration rights with respect to any
remaining BTC Shares for a period of not less than three years, as provided in
Exhibit 5 below. If any BTC Shares issued, or to be issued to Xxxxxx or Xxxxxxx,
are included in the IPO, all the BTC Shares issued to Palomar shall also be
included in the registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with the
IPO.
2.2.4 The preceding sections to the contrary notwithstanding, Palomar
may, by notifying BTC at least 20 days prior to the Phase II Closing Date, elect
to have the Phase II Purchase Price paid entirely in cash. In that event, the
total Phase II Purchase Price shall be $3,500,000 ("Cash Option Price"), and
upon payment of such amount, the Dynaco Shares shall be sold, conveyed and
transferred to BTC, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and any adverse
claims, and BTC shall be released of any requirement to register the BTC Shares
described in Section 2.2.2 above.
2.2.5 If for any reason the IPO fails to occur or BTC fails to acquire
Ultra Scan, BTC may, in its own right, acquire the Dynaco Shares prior to June
30, 1998, for $3,500,000 cash (the "Cash Price"). Subject to the preceding
sentence, from October 17, 1997 through the date a registration statement is
filed with the SEC with respect to the IPO Shares, BTC and Palomar will
cooperate and may attempt to sell the Dynaco Shares to a third party. If BTC and
Palomar are able to sell the Dynaco Shares to a third party for more than
$3,500,000, BTC shall be entitled to receive for its efforts an amount equal to
the consideration received in excess of $3,500,000 (the "Excess Consideration")
multiplied by 50% (the "Share Payment"); the balance of the consideration shall
be paid to Palomar. Upon BTC's receipt of the Share Payment, BTC agrees to pay
an amount equal to 25% of the Excess Consideration to Palomar, which amount
shall be credited against the principal balance of the Palomar Note. Upon the
sale of the Dynaco Shares to a third party, BTC shall be released from any
obligation it may have either to deliver to Palomar the BTC Shares or cause such
shares to be registered with the SEC, as contemplated by Section 2.2.1 and
Exhibit 5.
2.3 PHASE II PRICE ADJUSTMENTS. The following price adjustments shall be
applicable to the Phase II Transaction:
2.3.1 If a material adverse change occurs in Dynaco's book value, as
determined under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
(exclusive of any change resulting from the New Media Transaction), between the
Phase I Closing Date and the Phase II Closing Date, the Phase II Purchase Price
will be adjusted downward to reflect such change, or other action relating to
the terms of purchase and agreeable to both parties will be taken prior to the
Phase II Closing Date to adjust for such material adverse change. A "material
adverse change" in Dynaco's book value shall mean a decline in book value of
Dynaco, as determined under generally accepted accounting principles, in excess
of 15% of the Phase II Purchase Price (e.g., if book value decreases by 20%, the
Purchase Price would be reduced by 25% of such decrease or the amount over 15%),
for reasons other than the New Media Transaction.
2.3.2 If a material increase occurs in the book value of Dynaco
between the Phase I Closing Date and the Phase II Closing Date, as determined
under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, the Phase
II Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to the excess of
Dynaco's increased book value, as determined under generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied, over the Phase II Purchase Price, set forth
above, as determined ten (10) business days prior to the Phase II Closing Date,
multiplied by 50%.
2.4 WARRANT. Upon the occurrence of the Phase II Closing Date, BTC shall
issue to Palomar a warrant in the form set forth in Exhibit 6 (the "Warrant")
for the purchase of that number of shares of BTC's voting common stock equal to
$850,000, the value of such shares to be determined at the Closing Price (as
defined below). The Warrant shall expire three (3) years following the date of
its issuance and shall be exercisable only if a Triggering Event occurs. A
Triggering Event shall occur if: (i) BTC achieves $50,000,000 in gross revenue
by December 31, 1998; (ii) BTC achieves $4,000,000 in net, pre-tax earnings in
any fiscal year ending on or before December 31, 1999, or (iii) the common stock
of BTC trades on any national securities exchange on which it is listed or, if
not so listed, on the National Association of Security Dealers, Inc. Automated
Quotation System (NASDAQ), at $12.00 per share or more for ten (10) consecutive
trading days within three years after the date of the issuance of the Warrant.
The Warrant shall provide that the per share exercise price is $0.01 per share.
The Closing Price shall be the closing price of BTC's common voting stock, as
reported on any national securities exchange on which BTC stock is listed, or,
if BTC's stock is traded on NASDAQ, the average of the lowest bid and highest
asked price for such day, on the date of a Triggering Event occurs, or if that
date is not a trading date, on the trading day immediately preceding the date a
Triggering Event occurs. BTC warrants that the conditions for the exercise of
the Warrant by Palomar shall be no less favorable to Palomar that are the terms
and conditions imposed by the Phase II Transaction underwriter upon the escrow
and forfeiture of BTC common stock issued to Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx.
2.5 PHASE II TRANSACTION SPECIAL COVENANTS.
2.5.1 BTC MANAGEMENT. Until the earlier of the Phase II Closing Date
or the disposition of the Dynaco Shares to a third party has occurred, BTC will
cause Xxxxxx, without payment of compensation from Dynaco, to maintain his
present office, at Dynaco's Tempe, Arizona, facility and, in addition to
performing any duties for BTC, BTC will use all reasonable good faith efforts to
cause Xxxx Xxxxxx to assist Dynaco in conducting and carrying out its business,
as presently conducted, and in maintaining its assets and business. Neither BTC
nor Xxxxxx shall be charged rent for Xxxxxx'x office.
2.5.2 OWNERSHIP OF DYNACO SHARES. Palomar represents and warrants that
two million (2,000,000) $0.01 par value Dynaco Shares are duly authorized,
validly issued and outstanding, and fully paid and non-assessable, that it owns
the Dynaco Shares, and that there are no outstanding warrants, options,
convertible securities, scrip, contracts, calls, preemptive rights or other
rights or obligations existing that will impair or adversely affect BTC's rights
to full ownership of the Dynaco Shares.
2.5.3 PALOMAR FUNDING. Palomar will fund the operations of Dynaco in
accordance with funding requirements set forth in Exhibit 4 from October 1,
1997, through the Phase II Closing Date; provided that the need for such amount
is both justified by Dynaco and is necessary to maintain Dynaco as a viable
business or going concern. Amounts funded by Palomar pursuant to this Section
2.5.3 will not be added to the principal balance of the Palomar Note. If the
monthly or aggregate amount required by Dynaco exceeds the monthly or aggregate
amount to be advanced by Palomar to Dynaco, as scheduled in Exhibit 4 (the
"Excess Funding"), BTC agrees to provide such Excess Funding to Dynaco; provided
that the need for such amount is both justified by Dynaco and is necessary to
maintain Dynaco as a viable business or going concern.
2.5.4 NON-SOLICITATION OF DYNACO EMPLOYEES. Prior to the Phase II
Closing, BTC agrees not to solicit or hire any Dynaco employees without
obtaining Palomar's prior written consent. The Parties agree that Dynaco has a
legitimate protectable interest in preventing the solicitation of its employees,
and BTC agrees that this prohibition of solicitation is reasonable.
2.5.5 USE OF NAME. Upon the Phase II Closing Date, as part of the sale
of the Dynaco Shares, Palomar shall sell, assign and grant to BTC the goodwill
of the business together with all of Seller's rights to use, and to transact
business under, the names "Dynaco," "Dynaco Corp.," and any variant thereof, and
BTC shall acquire all patents, trademarks and trade names associated with or
used by Dynaco, and any related goodwill.
2.5.6 IPO. Sellers agree to cooperate with BTC to the extent
reasonably necessary in order for BTC to effect and close the IPO.

Sellers hereby sell, convey, assign and transfer to BTC all Intellectual
Property Rights (as defined in Section 11.5) owned or possessed by Seller and
used by Dynaco or owned by Dynaco, together with all goodwill related thereto,
except those transferred pursuant to Section 1.3.2, to BTC, and agree to execute
such assignments and other documents as necessary to effect such assignment. BTC
acknowledges that the sale, conveyance, transfer and assignment of the
Intellectual Property Rights is made As Is, without any warranty whatsoever.
2.5.8 NO TRANSFER TO THIRD PARTY. Sellers will not sell, transfer,
pledge or hypothecate the Dynaco Shares to any third party prior to June 30,
1998, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.
2.5.9 COVENANT OF FURTHER ASSURANCE. Without further consideration,
Sellers will at any time, and from time to time, after the Phase I and Phase II
Closing Dates, execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance,
transfer and assignment, make such government filings, and take such other
action as BTC reasonably may request to convey, transfer and assign more
effectively to BTC any of the Dynaco Assets and all Sellers' rights under the
Dynaco Assets, and will assist BTC in the collection and reduction to possession
of the Dynaco Assets, and will take other action that is reasonably necessary
for these purposes, all at BTC's cost.

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of the
___ day of December, 1997, by Biometric Technologies Corp., a Delaware

Secured Party subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement

national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ Stock market and that are not
subject to any restriction or limitation upon trading, other than the provisions
of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144 (hereinafter, "Qualified
Securities").
3.2 For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Market Value to Outstanding
Obligation Ratio" shall mean, at any given time, the ratio of the Collateral,
determined as of the Valuation Date, as defined below, to the outstanding
principal and accrued interest under the Note determined as of the same
Valuation Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Valuation Date" shall be
the last trading day of each calendar month. In determining the value of any
security constituting the Collateral as of any Valuation Date, such value shall
be the average of the daily closing price for such security during the 20

Ratio, as defined above, falls below a ratio of 1.5:1, Pledgor shall deposit

security interest of the Secured Party created hereby.
3.3 Secured party agrees that if the market Value to Outstanding Obligation
Ratio equals or exceeds 2.5:1, Pledgor shall ha e the right to withdraw
Qualified Securities from the Collateral held by Secured Party until the Market
Value to Outstanding Obligation Ratio is not less than 2:1. Secured Party agrees
that such reduction shall not be a violation of any provision of this Agreement
and that any Collateral withdrawn under this Section 3.3 shall no longer be
subject to this Agreement.

PROMISSORY NOTE
rincipal Amount Phoenix, Arizona
$2,804,000 December , 1997
--
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Biometric Technologies Corp. ("Maker"), promises to pay
to Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc. ("Holder"), a Delaware corporation, or
order, the principal balance of Two Million Eight Hundred Four Thousand
($2,804,000) in lawful money of the United States of America, together with
interest on the unpaid balance of principal, from the date hereof, to accrue at
the prime rate of interest as announced by Bank of America NT&SA from time to
time, without regard to whether such rate of interest is actually charged to its
customers.
Payments of interest only shall be made by Maker beginning on December 31,
1997, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until December 31,
1998. Beginning January 1, 1999, the balance of principal and accrued interest
on the Note shall be paid in forty-eight (48) monthly installments, with the
first payment due on February 1, 1999, and continuing on the first day of each
month thereafter until paid in full. If not sooner paid, the principal and all
accrued interest under this Note shall be due and payable on December 31, 2002.
The entire principal balance, or any portion thereof, may be prepaid at any
time, without penalty, at the election of Maker. Any prepayment shall apply
first to accrued interest and then to principal.
At Holder's option, payments made hereunder may be applied first to costs
of collection, if any, next to interest, and then to principal.
If Maker fails to make any payment when due hereunder, Holder, at its
option, may declare all or any part of the principal and interest payable under
this Note immediately due and payable. In addition, upon the occurrence of any
default under the Stock Purchase Agreement of even date (the "Purchase
Agreement"), if such default is not cured within any applicable cure or grace
period expressly allowed under the Purchase Agreement, as the case may be,
Holder may declare all or any part of the principal and interest payable
hereunder immediately due and payable. This Note may, at Holder's option, also
become immediately due and payable if (i) there is a sale or disposition of
fifty percent (50%) or more of Maker's assets (taking into account all the
assets of Maker, plus the assets of all of Maker's subsidiaries, taken as a
whole), (ii) the sale of fifty percent (50%) or more of Maker's issued and
outstanding stock, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions,
other than through an initial public offering and the acquisition of Ultra Scan,
Inc.; or (iii) Maker is merged with or consolidated into another corporation and
the assets of Maker, immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, are less
than 50% of the assets of the resulting corporation immediately following the
consummation of such merger or consolidation.
Holder's acceptance of payments after the due date shall not waive or
postpone any right of the Holder hereof, and time is and shall remain of the
essence hereof.
Should any interest or principal amount remain unpaid after it is due
hereunder, such amount, at the option of the Holder, shall bear interest at the
rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum ("Default Interest"), from the date such
amount is due and payable until paid.
If, as a result of any default under this Note, the Holder incurs any
attorneys' fees or other legal costs or expenses with respect to enforcement of
any rights provided for hereunder, whether or not any legal proceeding is
instituted, Maker promises to pay such attorneys' fees and expenses, including,
without limitation, any costs of court, witness fees or experts fees, and
reasonable travel costs, regardless of whether such amounts are reasonable under
applicable law.
Maker agrees that the effective rate of interest under this Note is the
note rate specified herein, plus the rate of interest resulting from any
additional charges, fees, points, Default Interest, and any other charges made
to Maker. If for any reason the interest or other charges deemed to be interest
should exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by law, then (i) the interest
or other charges that exceed the maximum rate permitted by law shall be reduced
to the maximum rate permitted by law, and (ii) any amounts paid as interest
which are in excess of the maximum legal rate shall be credited against the
outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness.
Maker and all persons now or hereafter liable on this Note severally waive
notice, presentment for payment and protest.
Maker represents and warrants to Holder that this loan is made for
commercial purposes and that no portion of the amounts describe herein are or
will be used for any purpose other than a commercial purpose.
Maker authorizes Holder to advance amounts in excess of the principal
amount of this Note directly to a third party for Maker's benefit to facilitate
the transactions under this Purchase Agreement. Maker agrees that any such
advances are made for Maker's benefit, have been authorized by Maker, constitute
part of the principal indebtedness evidenced by this Note and shall be added to
the principal amount due under this Note. Interest shall accrue on all advanced
amounts in excess of the principal amount added to the principal amount of this
Note.
Maker agrees to make payment without the prior resort of the Holder to any
security or against any endorser or any guarantor.
This Note shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of
Arizona, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

REGISTRATION AGREEMENT
PARTIES:
This Agreement is made and entered by and between BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGIES
CORP., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and PALOMAR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES,
INC., a Delaware corporation ("Palomar" or the "Shareholder").
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This Agreement is entered into and is effective as of ,
1997 (the "Effective Date"). -------------
RECITALS:
Palomar has agreed to sell to the Company 100 percent of the issued and
outstanding stock (the "Dynaco Shares") of Dynaco Corp., a Delaware corporation
("Dynaco"). In consideration of purchasing the Dynaco Shares, the Company has
agreed to issue to Palomar shares of its common stock, par value .001 per share
(the "Shares"), having a value of $2,673,000, based on the offering price of the
Shares at the initial public offering ("IPO") and to include the Shares issued
to Palomar in any registration statement filed by the Company with respect to
its Shares, following the closing of the IPO, and to xxxxx Xxxxxxx certain
demand registration rights following the conclusion of the IPO. The Company has
also issued Palomar a Warrant to purchase from the Company that number of shares
of the Company's fully paid and non-assessable common stock for an exercise
price of $0.01 per share (the "Warrant Shares"). The Warrant Shares and the
Shares are collectively referred to as the Shares.
The Company and Palomar wish to set forth certain registration rights under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") with regard to the Shares, which the
Company hereby grants to Palomar.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree, as follows:
Section 1. REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.
(a) PIGGYBACK RIGHTS. If the Company files a registration statement
under the Act, which relates to a current offering of equity securities of the
Company (except in connection with (i) the IPO with respect to the Company's
Shares, or (ii) an offering of the Company's equity securities to its employees
pursuant to any employee benefit or any stock option plan, or any dividend
reinvestment plan maintained by the Company), such registration statement and
the prospectus included therein shall, at the written request of any
Shareholder, include, subject to any underwriter requirements or cutbacks, all
or part of the Shares owned by such Shareholder under the registration statement
so as to permit the public sale of the Shares by the Shareholder in compliance
with the Act. The Company shall give written notice to the Shareholder of its
intention to file a registration statement under the Act relating to an offering
of its equity securities not less than sixty (60) days prior to the filing of
such registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission or any successor in interest ("SEC"). A Shareholder's written request
to the Company that all or a portion of his Shares be included in the
registration statement, if made not later than thirty (30) days prior to the
date specified in the notice as the date on which the Company intends to file
its registration statement, shall allow the Shareholder to register all or part
of his Shares under such registration statement. Neither the Company's delivery
of notice nor of a request by any Shareholder for registration shall in any way
obligate the Company to file such registration statement and, notwithstanding
the filing of such registration statement, the Company may, at any time prior to
the effective date thereof, determine not to offer the securities to which such
registration statement relates, without liability to the Company or the
Shareholder, except in that event the Company shall pay all expenses of the
registration statement incurred through the date the registration statement is
withdrawn. The Company shall pay the entire cost of any registration of Shares
to which this Section 1(a) applies, including without limitation, attorneys'
fees, accounting fees, filing fees and printing costs (other than any
underwriter's discount). The Shareholder shall be solely responsible for any
underwriter discounts on any Shares sold by the Shareholder pursuant to any
registration statement filed by the Company and for the Shareholder's pro rata
share of any underwriter expenses. The Warrant Shares shall be subject to
registration under this Paragraph 1(a) only to the extent the Warrant has been
exercised.
(b) DEMAND RIGHTS. Upon written notice to the Company (the
"Registration Demand"), at any time within the three (3) year(s) period
following the Effective Date hereof, but not earlier than 90 days after the date
the IPO closes, given (i) by Palomar or (ii) by at least two persons to whom the
Shares have been transferred from Palomar (the "Shareholders") that such persons
contemplate the sale or transfer of all or part of the Shares under
circumstances that may require registration of such shares under the Act, the
Company shall, at its own expense, as promptly as possible after receipt of such
Registration Demand, file with the SEC a registration statement pursuant to
Section 5 of the Act on the appropriate registration form, with respect to the
offer and sale (or other disposition) of the Shares for which the Company shall
have received such Registration Demand. Within ten (10) days after receiving the
Registration Demand, the Company shall notify all the Shareholders and advise
them that the Company is proceeding with the filing of a registration statement
(or notification) and the Company shall offer to include for registration under
such registration statement (or notification) the Shares of those other
Shareholders. The Company shall not be obligated to register the Shares of any
such Shareholder unless such other Shareholder accepts the Company's offer of
registration in writing within fifteen (15) days after such offer is made.
The Company shall take all action necessary to file such registration statement
and cause it to become effective within ninety (90) days of receipt of said
Registration Demand. In the event the registration statement is not effective
within said ninety (90) days for any reason whatsoever except for any action of
or any failure to act of Palomar, its officers, directors or agents, then the
Company shall make cash payments to Palomar and said Shareholders participating
in such registration statement, if any, for the number of shares for which
Palomar and the Shareholders have requested registration, in an amount equal to
two percent (2%) per month multiplied by the original initial public offering
such price of the stock to be included in the original registration statement,
payable monthly in advance. The first such payment shall be due and payable on
the ninety-first (91st) day after receipt by the Company of the Registration
Demand and monthly thereafter until the registration statement is effective. The
Warrant Shares shall not be subject to the payments described in the preceding
sentence. The 2% payment shall not be required to be paid during any period on
or after the 90th day following the Registration Demand, if the failure of the
registration to become effective is due to a Force Majeure Event. For purposes
of this Agreement, a "Force Majeure Event" shall include strikes, lockouts, fire
or other casualty, natural disaster, civil disturbance, war, act of terrorism,
government shutdown, or any similar event. Except as provided below, the cost of
such registration statement (including any attorneys' fees, accounting fees and
underwriters' fees) shall be borne solely by the Shareholders whose Shares are
registered, on a pro rata basis in proportion to the Shares owned by each
Shareholder, if the Company elects not to offer any Shares pursuant to the
registration statement or notification; provided that if the Company includes
any of its Shares in such registration statement or notification, the Company
shall pay all costs of such registration other than the underwriter's discount.
If only the Shares of the Shareholders are included in such notification or
registration statement, no Shares of the Company shall be registered for a
period of 90 days following the date offering of the Shares is completed. The
Warrant Shares shall be subject to registration under this Paragraph 1(b) only
to the extent the Warrant has been exercised.
(c) In each instance in which, pursuant to Section 1(a) or 1(b) of
this Section 1, the Company shall take any action to permit a public offering or
sale, or other distribution of the Shares, the Company shall:
(i) Keep effective until the earlier of (A) the
date all registered Shares are sold or (B) two hundred and
seventy (270) days after the initial effective date of such
registration statement (or notification), and take such other
action as may be necessary to keep effective (and pay all
expenses related to) such other registrations and qualifications
(including those required by the securities laws of any state in
which the Shares are offered or sold), and do any and all other
acts and things necessary to permit the public sale or other
disposition of the Shares by such Shareholders (or the Bank).
(ii) Indemnify and hold harmless each underwriter,
within the meaning of the Act, to the extent required by any
underwriting agreement or, if greater, to the extent required by
this Agreement.
(iii) Indemnify and hold harmless each Shareholder
to the extent required in any underwriting agreement or, if
greater, to the extent provided in this Agreement.
(d) For purposes of this Section 1, the term "equity security" means
any class or series of common or preferred stock of the Company and any bond,
note, warrant, option or right which is payable, in full or in part, or is
convertible into any class or series of common or preferred stock of the
Company.
(e) If any Shares registered under this Agreement are offered through
an underwriter, each selling Shareholder agrees (i) to execute any underwriting
agreement requested by the underwriter, (ii) furnish any indemnity in the
customary form required by the underwriter, (iii) furnish any information
required by the underwriter, and (iv) take any other action reasonably necessary
to satisfy the underwriting conditions or to cause the registration statement to
become effective. The rights of any Shareholder under this Agreement shall be
subject to and limited by the terms and conditions of any indemnity agreement
and any other conditions the underwriter may impose. The failure of Shareholder
to comply with the provision of this paragraph shall relieve the Company of the
obligation to register the Shares as provided by this Agreement.
Section 2. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.
Any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to the Act shall
comply in all respects with the Act and all rules and regulations of the SEC
applicable to such registration statement. At such time as any registration
statement (or notice) becomes effective, the Company shall supply to the
Shareholders and to any person or underwriter acting on their behalf, sufficient
copies of the prospectus used in connection with the registration statement for
the Shareholder to sell publicly the registered Shares. With respect to any
registration of Shares subject to this Agreement, the Company, at its expense,
agrees to qualify or register the Shares in any state in which the Shareholder
requests that the Shares be qualified or registered, to the extent that the
Company is reasonably able to do so, and the Company shall maintain such
qualification or registration in effect for so long as the registration
statement is in effect.
Section 3. SHAREHOLDERS' CONSENT AND OBLIGATION TO FURNISH INFORMATION.
The Shareholders shall promptly provide to the Company such consents and
information as may be reasonably required by the Company in order to perform its
obligations under Section 1 hereof. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 1(a) or 1(b)
or 6(a) or 6(b) that the Shareholder shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding the Shareholder and the Shares held by it, and the
intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect
the registration of the Shares.
Section 4. "MARKET STAND-OFF" AGREEMENT.
The Shareholder agrees that it will not, to the extent requested by the
Company and an underwriter, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares
(other than Shares being registered in such offering) for up to that period of
time following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company
filed under the Act as is requested by the managing underwriter(s) of such
offering. The Company agrees that any lock-up agreement obtained by the
underwriter with respect to the Shareholder will be no longer than any similar
agreement applicable to the Company or to Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx or Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxx
in connection with any Shares of the Company registered by any of them pursuant
to such registration statement.
Section 5. REPORTS.
The Company at all times will comply with the Act and will file such
reports and disclosures as may be required by the Act or any rules or
regulations promulgated thereunder. If the Company becomes subject to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), the Company agrees to file
timely all reports required by the Exchange Act. If the Company becomes a listed
company on NASDAQ or any national securities exchange, the Company shall file
all reports necessary to maintain such listing.
Section 6. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any
selling Shareholder and any underwriter, to the extent applicable, and any
person who, within the meaning of the Act (or the Exchange Act), controls any of
such persons (hereafter collectively called the "Selling Group") for, from, and
against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, joint and several, to which
the Selling Group, or any of them, may become subject under the Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a
registration statement, or the prospectus which is a part thereof, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to be stated
therein to make the statements therein not misleading; and will reimburse the
Selling Group and each of them, for any legal or other expenses and costs
reasonably incurred by them in connection with the investigation or defense of
any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable under this Section 6(a) if any such loss, claim, or
liability arises solely out of or is based solely on an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the
registration statement or the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of the Selling Group or any of them. A member of the
Selling Group, who is treated as a control person under the Act or the Exchange
Act, shall be covered by and included within the indemnity provided by this
Section 6(a) for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses asserted
in connection with the registration statement, notice or the sale of the Shares,
whether or not based on Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act.
The indemnity obligation provided herein is in addition to any liability or
obligation which the Company may otherwise have to the Selling Group or any of
them or which may exist at common law or under any statute.
(b) SELLING GROUP. The Selling Group and each of them will indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
signs the registration statement, and any person who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Act (or the Exchange Act) for, from and against any losses,
claims, damages, or liabilities to which the Company or any such director or
officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange
Act, or otherwise, if such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions
in respect hereof) arise solely out of or are based solely on any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration
statement and the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact necessary to be stated therein to make the statements therein not
misleading, in each case if, and only if, such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the registration
statement or the prospectus or such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information concerning the Selling Group furnished to
the Company by or on behalf of the Selling Group for use in the registration
statement and the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, and will
reimburse any legal or other expense reasonably incurred by the Company or such
director or officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action. This indemnity
obligation provided hereunder is in addition to any other liability or
obligation which the Selling Group may otherwise have to the Company or which
may exist at common law or under any statute.
(c) CLAIMS. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 6(c) of notice of the commencement of any action or the initiation of
any proceeding (including, without limitation, arbitration), the indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying
party under this Section 6(c), notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 6(c). In case any such action is brought
against any indemnified party and such indemnified party notifies any
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, assume the defense thereof
with counsel who shall be reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and,
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6(c) for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such
action, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain his own counsel,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, or (ii) the named
parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for
any settlement of any proceeding or claim effected without its written consent,
but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the
plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party for,
from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
(d) ENFORCEABILITY. If the indemnification provided in Sections 6(a),
6(b) and 6(c) is for any reason, other than as specified in such subparagraphs,
held by a court to be unavailable and the Company or the Selling Group has been
required to pay damages as a result of a determination by a court that the
preliminary prospectus, registration statement, the prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement thereto contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits
to state a material fact necessary to be stated therein to make the statements
therein not misleading, then the Company shall contribute to the damages paid by
the Selling Group and the Selling Group shall contribute to the damages paid by
the Company, but in each case only to the extent that such damages arise out of
or are based upon such untrue statement or omission, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Group
in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such damages,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company or the Selling Group and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or
prevent such untrue statement or omission. For purposes of this Section 6(d),
the term "damages" shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by the Company or the Selling Group in connection with investigating or
defending any action or claim which is the subject of the contribution
provisions of this Section 6(d). No person adjudged guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Act shall be entitled
to contribution from any person who was not adjudged guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. (e) Term. The agreements contained in Sections 6(a) through
(d) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Selling Group or any of them, or by or
on behalf of the Company, any of its directors or officers, or any person
controlling the Company, and (ii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor
of the Selling Group, or any of them, or of the Company, or any director or
officer thereof, or any person controlling the Selling Group or the Company
shall be entitled to the benefits of the agreements contained in Sections 6(a)
through (e).

1. GRANT OF WARRANT. Biometric Technologies Corp., a Delaware corporation,
together with any corporation which shall succeed to or assume the obligations
of Biometric Technologies Corp. (hereunder, collectively, the "Company"), hereby
certifies that, for value received, Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Palomar"), or its assigns or transferees, is entitled,
subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company at any time
or from time to time during the Exercise Period (as defined in Section 9), that
number of the Company's fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock
that is equal to $850,000 at a purchase price of $0.01 per share (such price per
share as adjusted from time to time as provided herein is referred to herein as
the "Exercise Price"); the value of
such Common Stock shall be determined at the Closing Price on the Trigger Event
Date (as such terms are defined in Section 9). The number and character of such
shares of Common Stock are subject to adjustment as provided herein.
2. Exercise of Warrant.
2.1 EXERCISE. This Warrant may be exercised, prior to its expiration
pursuant to Section 2.5, by the holder hereof at any time or from time to time
during the Exercise Period (as defined in Section 9), by surrender of this
Warrant, with the form of subscription at the end hereof duly executed by such
holder, to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment, by
certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire
transfer to its account, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is then being exercised by the
Exercise Price then in effect. In the event the Warrant is not exercised in
full, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon
the order of the holder hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the
name of the holder hereof or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may request, having in the aggregate on the face or
faces thereof the number of shares of Common Stock equal (without giving effect
to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face
of this Warrant minus the number of such shares (without giving effect to any
adjustment therein) for which this Warrant shall have been exercised. Upon
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with this Section 2.1, the holder (or
such other holder as the holder of this Warrant may request as provided in this
Section 2.1) shall be, and shall be deemed to be, for all purposes a holder of
record of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant has been
exercised, notwithstanding any delay or failure of the Company to issue stock
certificates as provided in Section 4 hereof. Accordingly, immediately upon
exercise the holder (or its designee, as aforesaid) shall have the right to vote
on all matters in which holders of Common Stock have a right to vote, shall be
deemed a record holder for the purposes of voting, dividends or any other
distributions and shall have all other rights of a stockholder of record under
the laws of the State of Delaware. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, in whole
or in part, the holder hereof may pay the aggregate Exercise Price with respect
to the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is then being exercised
(collectively, the "Exercise Shares") by (a) surrendering its rights to a number
of Exercise Shares having a fair market value equal to or greater than the
required aggregate Exercise Price, in which case the holder hereof would receive
the number of Exercise Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled upon such
exercise, less the surrendered shares or (b) payment of cash in the form
referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.1. The Warrant may not be
exercised prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event.
2.2 CLASS OF STOCK RECEIVABLE UPON EXERCISE. If at the time of
exercise the Company has more than one class of Common Stock outstanding, the
shares of Common Stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be shares
of Common Stock of the class designated upon such exercise by the holder of this
Warrant on the form of subscription at the end hereof duly executed by such
holder. If at any time the Common Stock to which this Warrant is applicable is
converted into any other class of stock ("Other Securities"), this Warrant shall
continue in force and effect and shall be applicable with respect to such Other
Securities.
2.3 CONFLICT WITH OTHER LAWS. Any other provisions hereof to the
contrary notwithstanding, no Person which is a bank holding company or a
subsidiary of a bank holding company, as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act
of 1956, as amended, or other applicable banking laws of the United States of
America and the rules and regulations thereunder (a "Bank Affiliate") shall be
entitled to exercise the right under this Warrant to purchase any share or
shares of Common Stock if, under any law or under any regulation, rule or other
requirement of any governmental authority at any time applicable to such Bank
Affiliate, (a) as a result of such purchase, such Bank Affiliate would own,
control or have power to vote a greater quantity of securities of any kind than
the Bank Affiliate shall be permitted to own, control or have power to vote, or
(b) such purchase would not be permitted. For purposes of this Section 2.3, a
written statement of the Bank Affiliate exercising this Warrant, delivered upon
surrender of the Warrant to the effect that the Bank Affiliate is legally
entitled to exercise its right under this Warrant to purchase securities and
that such purchase will not violate the prohibitions set forth in the preceding
sentence, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company in all respects and
shall obligate the Company to deliver certificates representing the shares of
Common Stock so purchased in accordance with the other provisions hereof and
shall relieve the Company of any liability under this Section 2.3.
2.4 TRUSTEE. In the event that a bank or trust company shall have been
appointed as trustee for theholder of the Warrant, such bank or trust company
shall have all the powers and duties of a warrant agent appointed pursuant to
Section 10 hereof and shall accept, in its own name for the account of the
Company or such successor entity as may be entitled thereto, all amounts
otherwise payable to the Company or such successor, as the case may be, on
exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 2.
2.5 TERMINATION. This Warrant shall terminate upon the earlier to
occur of (a) the exercise in full,(b) the third anniversary following the date
of issuance stated on page one of this Warrant.
3. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The holder of this Warrant has the right to cause
the Company to register shares of Warrant Stock, and any shares issued upon
exercise hereof, under the Securities Act and any blue sky or securities laws of
any jurisdictions within the United States at the time and in the manner
specified in the Registration Agreement dated ____, 1997, between the Company
and Palomar; provided that registration rights shall apply only to Warrant Stock
(as defined in Section 9) and not to shares of Common Stock reserved by the
Company for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant.
4. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE.
4.1 DELIVERY. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this
Warrant in full or in part, and inany event within five business days
thereafter, the Company, at its expense (including the payment by it of any
applicable issue taxes), will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to
the holder hereof, or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or certificates for the
number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities (as defined in Section 2.2)) to which such holder shall be entitled
on such exercise, together with any other stock or other securities and property
(including cash, where applicable) to which such holder is entitled upon such
exercise.
4.2 FRACTIONAL SHARES. In the event that the exercise of this Warrant,
in full or in part, results inthe issuance of any fractional share of Common
Stock, then in such event the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to cash
equal to the fair market value of such fractional share as determined in good
faith by the Company's Board of Directors.
5. CONTINUATION OF TERMS. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) of the Company, this
Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be
applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable
on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization,
consolidation or merger, or the effective date of dissolution following any such
transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any stock
or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person
acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company,
whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this
Warrant.
6. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation (or similar documents) 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 the 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 the
Warrant.
7. NOTICES. In the event of:

recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or
substantially all the assets of the Company to or any consolidation or merger of

(b) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company;

holder of this Warrant a notice specifying the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is anticipated to take place, and

reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at
least 20 days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such
record or other action is to be taken.

at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the
exercise of this Warrant, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the total
number of shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant, and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its
Articles of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
