(j) “Warrant Shares” shall have the meaning given to it in Section 2 of this Warrant Certificate.
12
SECTION 2. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.
(a) Each Warrant evidenced hereby may be exercised by the Holder upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein prior the Expiration Date. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the Exercise Date and the person entitled to receive shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise (“Warrant Shares”) shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of a Warrant Share upon the exercise of the applicable Warrant as of the close of business on the Exercise Date. Promptly following, and in any event within ten (10) business days after, the date on which the Corporation first receives clearance of all funds received in payment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, the Corporation shall cause to be issued and delivered to the person or persons entitled to receive the same, a certificate or certificates evidencing the issuance to the Holder of the applicable number of Warrant Shares (plus a Warrant Certificate for any remaining issued but unexercised Warrants of the Holder). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that any registration or qualification (or filing for exemption from any such requirements) is required prior to the issuance of such Warrant Shares by the Corporation in accordance with Section 3(b) below, then the obligation to deliver any such certificates shall arise only upon completion of such requirements and at such time as the Corporation may lawfully do so.

(b) The Corporation shall not be obligated to deliver any Warrant Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby unless and until a registration statement under the Securities Act and/or under any applicable state securities laws and regulations, with respect to such securities is effective, or an exemption from such registration is available to the Corporation at the time of such exercise. The Corporation covenants that if any Warrant Shares reserved for the purpose of exercise of Warrants hereunder require
13
registration with, or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal or state securities law before such securities may be validly issued or delivered upon such exercise, then the Corporation will in good faith and as expeditiously as reasonably possible, endeavor to secure such registration or approval. However, in the event that this Warrant Certificate represents Warrants which have been transferred by the Holder, the Warrants represented hereby may not be exercised by, nor shares of Common Stock issued to, the holder hereof in any state in which such exercise and issuance would be unlawful.
(c) The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issuance of the Warrants, or the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants; provided, however, that if the shares of Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than the name of the Holder, then no such delivery shall be made unless the person requesting the same has paid to the Corporation the amount of transfer taxes or charges incident thereto, if any.
SECTION 4. LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence satisfactory to it of the ownership of, and loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of, this Warrant Certificate and (in case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to the Corporation, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Holder in lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants as was indicated to be outstanding on the prior lost or mutilated Warrant Certificate; provided, however, that to the extent that any discrepancy may exist between the number of Warrants purported to be outstanding in respect of the Holder as evidenced by a Warrant Certificate that has been lost or mutilated and the number attributable to the Holder in the Warrant Registry, then the Warrant Registry shall control for all purposes, absent a showing of manifest error. If the Holder requests a substitute Warrant Certificate due to loss, theft or destruction shall, prior to receiving such substitute certificate, the Holder shall provide an affidavit to the Corporation in the form prescribed thereby and signed by (and notarized on behalf of) the Holder. Applicants for a substitute Warrant Certificate shall comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Corporation may prescribe.
SECTION 5. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. Subject to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate and applicable law, in the event the Corporation, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof while the Warrants are outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its common stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of common stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be equal to $0.21 multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after such event.
14

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”).

The legend requirements of Section 6(a) above shall terminate as to any particular Warrant or Warrant Share: (i) if and so long as such security shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and is disposed of pursuant thereto; or (ii) when the Corporation shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such shares may be sold to the public without registration thereof under the Securities Act. Whenever the legend requirements imposed by this Section 6 shall terminate as to any Warrant Share, as hereinabove provided, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation, at the Corporation’s expense, a new certificate representing such Warrant Shares and not bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 6(a).
SECTION 7. RIGHTS OF ACTION.

(b) the Warrants are transferable only on the Warrant Registry by the Holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing and only if the Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants are surrendered at the Corporate Office of the Corporation, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Corporation in its sole discretion, together with payment of the amount of any applicable transfer taxes; and
(c) the Corporation may deem and treat the person in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered on the Warrant Registry as the Holder and as the absolute, true and lawful owner of the Warrants represented thereby for all purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Warrant Certificate.

This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California applicable to the performance and enforcement of contracts made within such State, without giving effect to the law of conflicts of laws applied thereby. In the event that any dispute shall occur between the parties arising out of or resulting from the construction, interpretation, enforcement or any other aspect of this Warrant Certificate, the parties hereby agree to accept the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of California sitting in and for the County of Orange.
SECTION 12. ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING. This Warrant Certificate contains the entire understanding among the Corporation and the Holder relating to the subject matter covered herein, and merges all prior discussions, negotiations and agreements, if any between them. Neither of the Holder nor the Corporation shall be bound by any representations, warranties, covenants, or other understandings relating to such subject matter, other than as expressly provided for or referred to herein.
SECTION 13. CASHLESS EXERCISE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in connection with the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant or any portion of this Warrant into Warrant Shares by a cashless exercise by executing and delivering to the Company at its principal office a written Notice of Exercise in the form attached to this Warrant marked “CASHLESS EXERCISE”. The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to Holder upon such conversion shall be computed using the following formula:
X = ((P)(Y)(A-B))/A
where
X = the number of Warrant Shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the Warrant being converted.
P = the portion of the Warrant being converted expressed as a decimal fraction.
Y = the total number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in full.
A = the market price of a share of Common Stock for the date of exercise (the market price determined, for any date, as the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may then be listed for public trading for the five immediately preceding trading days on such exchange).
B = the then current Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
