Holder hereof by delivery of an original or facsimile copy of the form of
subscription attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Subscription Form") duly
executed by such Holder and surrender of the original Warrant within four (4)
days of exercise, to the Company at its principal office or at the office of
its Warrant Agent (as provided hereinafter), accompanied by payment, in cash,
wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of
the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is then exercisable by the Purchase Price
then in effect.
1.3. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part (but
not for a fractional share) by surrender of this Warrant in the manner and at
the place provided in subsection 1.2 except that the amount payable by the
Holder on such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying
(a) the number of whole shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in the
Subscription Form by (b) the Purchase Price then in effect. On any such
partial exercise, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue and deliver
to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant 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, the whole number of shares of Common
Stock for which such Warrant may still be exercised.
1.4. Fair Market Value. Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock as of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean:
(a) If the Company's Common Stock is traded on an exchange
or is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated
Quotation ("NASDAQ"), National Market System, the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or the
American Stock Exchange, LLC, then the closing or last sale price,
respectively, reported for the last business day immediately preceding the
Determination Date;
(b) If the Company's Common Stock is not traded on an
exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or
the American Stock Exchange, Inc., but is traded in the over-the-counter
market, then the average of the closing bid and ask prices reported for the
last business day immediately preceding the Determination Date;
(c) Except as provided in clause (d) below, if the
Company's Common Stock is not publicly traded, then as the Holder and the
Company agree, or in the absence of such an agreement, by arbitration in
accordance with the rules then standing of the American Arbitration
Association, before a single arbitrator to be chosen from a panel of persons
qualified by education and training to pass on the matter to be decided; or
(d) If the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution
or winding up pursuant to the Company's charter, then all amounts to be payable
per share to holders of the Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the event
of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be
payable per share in respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the
charter, assuming for the purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of
Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants are outstanding
at the Determination Date.
1.5. Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the
exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof acknowledge in
writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights to which
such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance
with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder shall fail to make any such
request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company
to afford to such Holder any such rights.
1.6. Trustee for Warrant Holders. In the event that a qualified
bank or trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for the Holder of
the Warrants pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have
all the powers and duties of a warrant agent (as hereinafter described) and
shall accept, in its own name for the account of the Company or such successor
person 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 1.
1.7 Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise. The Company
agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such
shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have
been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
event within three (3) 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 in
compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for
the number of duly and validly issued, 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 Fair
Market Value of one full share of Common Stock, 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.
2. Cashless Exercise.
(a) Payment upon exercise of this Warrant may be made at the
option of the Holder either in (i) cash, wire transfer or by certified or
official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable
aggregate Purchase Price, (ii) by cashless exercise in accordance with
Section (b) below or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods,
for the number of Common Stock specified in such form (as such exercise number
shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of
Common Stock issuable to the holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the
holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized,
validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) determined as provided herein.
(b) If the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is
greater than the Purchase Price (at the date of calculation as set forth
below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the holder may elect to
receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the
portion thereof being cancelled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Subscription Form in
which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of Common
Stock computed using the following formula:
X=Y (A-B)
A
Where X= the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
the holder
Y= the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under
the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is
being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being
exercised (at the date of such calculation)
A= the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's
Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
B= Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation)
(a) For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it
is intended, understood and acknowledged that the
Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise
transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired
by the Holder, and the holding period for the
Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced,
on the date this Warrant was originally issued
pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.
3. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
3.1. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case at any
time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization,
(b) consolidate with or merge into any other person or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any
plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each
such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and
adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this
Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, at any time after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and
property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon
such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be,
if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all
subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
3.2. Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company
following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets,
the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause
to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash,
where applicable) receivable in accordance with Section 3.1 by the Holder of
the Warrants upon their exercise after the effective date of such dissolution
pursuant to this Section 3 to a bank or trust company (a "Trustee") having its
principal office in Brea, CA, as trustee for the Holder of the Warrants.
3.3. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization,
consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer)
referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and
effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the 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 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 as provided in Section 4. In the event this
Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of
the transaction described in this Section 3, then only in such event will the
Company's securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable
by the Holder of the Warrants be delivered to the Trustee as contemplated by
Section 3.2.
3.4 Reserved.
4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the
Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or
other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such
event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and
the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect.
The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon
the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this
Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant
shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled
to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number
of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the
numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of
this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in
effect on the date of such exercise.
5. 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 the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause
its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such
adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the 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 adjustment
or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The
Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of
the Warrant and any Warrant Agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to
Section 11 hereof).
6. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant;
Financial Statements. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants,
all shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on
the exercise of the Warrant. This Warrant entitles the Holder hereof to
receive copies of all financial and other information distributed or required
to be distributed to the holders of the Company's Common Stock.
7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with
applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may
be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a "Transferor"). On the
surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor's endorsement in
the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Transferor Endorsement Form") and
together with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that
the transfer of this Warrant will be in compliance with applicable securities
laws, the Company at its expense, twice, only, but with payment by the
Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes, will issue and deliver to or on
the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in
the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such
Transferor Endorsement Form (each a "Transferee"), calling in the aggregate on
the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for
on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor. No such
transfers shall result in a public distribution of the Warrant.
8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this
Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such
mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its
expense, twice only, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant
of like tenor.
9. Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant has not been
granted piggyback registration rights by the Company. The time of registration
and type of registration statement to be filed shall be determined solely by
the Company.

11. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder of
the Warrant, appoint an agent (a "Warrant Agent") for the purpose of issuing

Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this
Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such
issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such
office by such Warrant Agent.

on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof
as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary.
