COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
SolutionsAmerica, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), for
value received, hereby certifies that Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, or his registered
assigns (the "Registered Holder") is entitled, subject to the terms set forth
below, to purchase from the Company, as such time and under such conditions as
set forth below, up to 40,000 shares (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to
the provisions of this Warrant) of Common Stock of the Company, at a purchase
price of the lessor of (i) 50% of the average bid price as reported in the Wall
Street Journal over the thirty (30) day period prior to the exercise of the
Warrant or (ii) $1.00 per share. The shares purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant and the purchase price per share, as adjusted from time to time
pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the
"Warrant Stock" and the "Purchase Price," respectively.
1. EXERCISABILITY. This Warrant shall be exercisable for a period of
five (5) years from the Date of Issuance set forth above and shall expire to the
extent not previously exercised at midnight Los Angeles local time on the fifth
anniversary following the Date of Issuance.
2. EXERCISE.
(a) MANNER OF EXERCISE. This Warrant may be executed by the
Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the
purchase form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered
Holder or by such Registered Xxxxxx's duly authorized attorney, at the principal
office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may
designate, accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price payable in
respect of the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchased upon such exercise.
The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check, wire transfer or by the surrender
of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of the
Company to the Registered Holder.
(b) EFFECTIVE TIME OF EXERCISE. Each exercise of this Warrant
shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business
on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as
provided in Section 2(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose
name or names any certificates for Warrant Stock shall be issuable upon such
exercise as provided in Section 2(c) below shall be deemed to have become the
holder or holders of record of the Warrant Stock represented by such
certificates.
2
(c) DELIVERY TO HOLDER. As soon as practicable after the exercise
of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days
thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of,
and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Registered Holder (upon
payment by such Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
(i) a certificate or certificates for the numbers of
shares of Warrant Stock to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and
(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant
or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on
the face or faces thereof for the numbers of shares of Warrant 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 purchased
by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 2(a) above.
3. ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) STOCK SPLITS AND DIVIDENDS. If outstanding shares of the
Company's Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a
dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, the Purchase
Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or immediately after the
record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such
subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend be
proportionately reduced. If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined
into a smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such
combination, be proportionately increased. When any adjustment is required to be
made in the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by
dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise
of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price
in effect immediately after such adjustment.
(b) RECLASSIFICATION, ETC. In case of any reclassification or
change of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of
the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at
the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate
reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the
holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger or
conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other
securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such
consummation, the stock or other securities and property to which such holder
would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had exercised
this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as
provided in Section 3(a); and in each such case, the terms of this Section 3
shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities properly
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
(c) ADJUSTMENT CERTIFICATE. When any adjustment is required to be
made in the Purchase Price, the Company shall promptly mail to the Registered
Holder a certificate setting forth the Purchase Price after such adjustment and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
3
adjustment. Such certificate shall also set forth the kind and amount of stock
or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable
following the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 3(a) or 3(b)
above.
4. TRANSFERS.
(a) UNREGISTERED SECURITY. Each holder of this Warrant
acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Stock have not been registered
under the Securities Act, and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for
sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Stock issued
upon its exercise in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Stock and
registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Stock under any
applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect or (ii) an
opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and
qualification are not required. Each certificate or other instrument for Warrant
Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend substantially
to the foregoing effect.
(b) TRANSFERABILITY. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(a)
hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in
part, upon surrender of the Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the
form of Exhibit B hereto) at the principle office of the Company.
(c) WARRANT REGISTER. The Company will maintain a register
containing the names and addresses of the Registered Holders of this Warrant.
Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company
may treat the Registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for
all purposes; provided, however, that if this Warrant is properly assigned in
blank, the Company may (but shall not be required to) treat the bearer hereof as
the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. Any Registered Holder may change such Registered Xxxxxx's address as
shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such
change.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HOLDER. The Registered Holder
hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) PURCHASE ENTIRELY FOR OWN ACCOUNT. The Registered Holder
acknowledges that this Warrant is given to the Registered Holder in reliance
upon the Registered Holder's representation to the Company, which by its
acceptance of this Warrant the Registered Holder hereby confirms, that the
Warrant, the Warrant Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Warrant Stock (collectively, the "Securities") being acquired by the Registered
Holder are being acquired for investment for the Registered Holder's own
account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or
distribution of any part thereof, and that the Registered Holder has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same. By executing this Warrant, the Registered Holder further represents
that the Registered Holder does not presently have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
Securities. The Registered Holder represents that it has full power and
authority to enter into this Warrant. The Registered Holder has not been formed
for the specific purpose of acquiring any of the Securities.
(b) DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. The Registered Holder has had an
opportunity to discuss the Company's business, management, financial affairs and
the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities with the Company's
management and has had an opportunity to review the Company's facilities. The
Registered Holder understands that such discussions, as well as the
4
written information issued by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects
of the Company's business which it believes to be material.
(c) REGISTERED SECURITIES. The Registered Holder understands that
the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities
Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the
Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of
the investment intent and the accuracy of the Registered Holder's
representations as expressed herein. The Registered Holder understands that the
Securities are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal
securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a
transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under
the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Registered Holder
acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. The Registered Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of securities
purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for
the securities, the availability of certain current public information about the
Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased
and paid for the securities to be sold, the sale being effected through a
"broker's transaction" or in transaction directly with a "market maker" (as
provided by Rule 144(f)) and the number of securities being sold during any
three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.
(d) NO PUBLIC MARKET. The Registered Holder understands that no
public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, that
the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the
Securities.
(e) LEGENDS. The Registered Holder understands that the
Securities, and any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor,
may bear one or all of the following:
(i) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A
VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE
OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION
IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933."
(ii) Any legend required by the Blue Sky laws of any state
to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the
certificate so legended.
(f) ACCREDITED INVESTOR. The Registered Holder is an accredited
investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act.

6. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or
through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets 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.
7. TERMINATION. This Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon
exercise hereof) shall terminate upon the fifth anniversary of the Date of
Issuance.
8. NOTICES OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. In case:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of
this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive
any other right; or,
(b) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or
merger of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the surviving entity), or any transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company; or,
(c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or
cause to be mailed to the Registered Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying,
as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and
character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on
which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is
to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other
stock or securities at the time deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up) are to be determined. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10)
days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such
notice.
9. RESERVATION OF STOCK. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for the issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this
Warrant, such shares of Warrant Stock and other stock, securities and property,
as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
10. EXCHANGE OF WARRANTS. Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder of
any Warrant or Warrants, properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal
office of the Company, the Company will, subject to the provisions of Sections 4
and 5 hereof, issue and deliver to or upon the order of such Holder, at the
Company's expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such
Registered Holder or as such Registered Holder (upon payment by such Registered
Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, 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 or Warrants so surrendered.

11. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an
indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant of like tenor.
12. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted by this Warrant shall be
in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon receipt, when delivered
personally or by courier, overnight delivery service or confirmed facsimile, or
forty-eight (48) hours after being deposited in the regular mail as certified or
registered mail (airmail if sent internationally) with postage prepaid,

Common Stock on the date of exercise, as determined in good faith by the
