AVP, INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration received,
__________ ("Holder"), is entitled to purchase from AVP, Inc., a Delaware
corporation with its principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx
000, Xxx Xxxxxxx XX 00000 (the "Company") ________ shares (as adjusted pursuant
to provisions hereof, the "Shares") of the Company's fully paid and
non-assessable Common Stock, at an exercise price per share of $2.20 (such price
and such other price as shall result, from time to time, from adjustments
specified herein, is hereafter referred to as the "Exercise Price"), subject to
the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. As used
herein, the term "Grant Date" shall mean June 24, 2005.
1. Term. This Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and
from time to time, from and after the Grant Date until the close of business,
Los Angeles time, on the date immediately preceding the fourth anniversary of
the Grant Date (the "Expiration Date").
2. Method of Exercise. The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or
in part and from time to time, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice
of exercise form attached hereto as Annex A duly executed) at the principal
office of the Company and by the payment to the Company of an amount equal to
the then applicable Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Shares
for which the Warrant is then being exercised. The Holder shall be deemed to
have become the holder of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as
the record holder of, the Shares purchased on exercise hereof (and such Shares
shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business
on each date that this Warrant is exercised. Upon any exercise of this Warrant,
Company shall deliver certificates for the Shares so purchased promptly, and,
unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant
representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All Shares issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant (the "Warrant Shares"), upon issuance, will be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable. During the term of this Warrant, the
Company shall keep a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and
reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant.
4. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of Shares
subject to this Warrant and the Exercise Price may be adjustment from time to
time, as follows:
(a) Reclassification, Reorganization, Merger or Sale. In case of any
(i) reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization (other than a change in
par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value,
or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or (ii) consolidation or merger
of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a merger
with another corporation or entity in which the Company is the surviving
corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or change of
outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or (iii) sale of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets (collectively, "Adjustment
Transactions"), the Company shall make provision (reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder), or such successor or purchasing corporation, so that the holder of this
Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise hereof the
kind and amount of Shares or other securities or property that such holder would
have been entitled to receive, if, immediately prior to any such Adjustment
Transaction, the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares that at such time
could have been purchased upon full exercise of this Warrant. In any such case,
appropriate adjustments (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company's
Board of Directors) of this Warrant shall be made such that the provisions set
forth in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to adjustment of the
Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as is practicable, in
relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter
deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section
4(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes,
consolidations, mergers and sales. The Company shall not effect or agree to
effect any Adjustment Transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the
surviving successor person (if other than the Company) of such Adjustment
Transaction, shall by written instrument, confirm its obligation to deliver such
shares of stock, securities or assets, to which, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise
hereof.
(b) Subdivisions or Combination of Shares; Stock Dividends. If the
Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, or issue a stock dividend on the outstanding Common Stock the
number of Shares immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of
such stock dividend shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such
subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend, be
proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price then in effect shall be
proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time combine the
outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Shares
immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the
effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately decreased, and the
Exercise Price then in effect shall be proportionately increased, effective on
the date of such combination.
(c) No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities, or any other action, seek to avoid the Company's obligations
hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the effectuation of all
provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to preserve the Holder's rights hereunder.
2
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Company shall within 30 days after such
adjustment deliver a certificate signed on behalf of the Company by its chief
financial officer to the Holder setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such
adjustment was calculated, and the Exercise Price after giving effect to such
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 4(a) or (b).
6. Fractional Shares. In lieu of any fractional Share otherwise issuable
pursuant hereto, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the product
obtained by multiplying such fraction by the Exercise Price then in effect.
7. Compliance with Securities Act; Disposition of Warrant or Shares of
Common Stock.
(a) Compliance with Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are being
acquired for investment purposes only and that such holder will not offer, sell
or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares except under
circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Act and as permitted by
Section 7(b) and Section 7(c) below. This Warrant and all Warrant Shares (unless
registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend (the
"Securities Legend") in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT").
NO SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR (ii) AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY,
THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(b) Disposition of Warrant and Warrant Shares. With respect to any
sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares acquired upon
exercise of this Warrant, prior to registration of such shares, the holder
hereof and each subsequent holder of this Warrant agrees to give 10 days'
written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner
thereof, together with a written opinion of such holder's counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such sale or other disposition
may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in
effect) of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares stating whether under the Act
this Warrant or the certificate representing the Warrant Shares requires any
restrictive legend thereon in order to ensure compliance with the Act. This
Warrant or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares thus transferred
shall bear the Securities Legend as to the applicable restrictions on
transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Act, unless in the
aforesaid opinion of counsel for the holder, such Securities Legend is not
required in order to insure compliance with the Act. If the Securities Legend is
not required, Company agrees to reissue the Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares
without said Securities Legend. Nothing herein shall restrict the transfer of
this Warrant (or any portion hereof) or the certificates representing the
Warrant Shares by the initial holder hereof or any successor holder to (i) any
affiliate of such holder, including without limitation any partnership
affiliated with such holder, any partner of any such partnership or any
successor corporation to the holder hereof as a result of a merger or
consolidation with or a sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets
of the holder, if such affiliate or partner agrees in writing to be bound by all
of the restrictions on transfer contained herein, (ii) any legal entity or
natural person (hereinafter "Person") in a public offering pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Act or (iii) to any other Person to
the extent that the transfer to such Person is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Act and such Person agrees in writing to be bound by all of
the restrictions on transfer contained herein, and such Person agrees in writing
to be bound by all of the restrictions on transfer contained herein. Any
transfer described above must be made in compliance with all applicable federal
and state securities laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to
its transfer agent in connection with the foregoing restrictions.

8. Rights as Stockholders. No holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Warrant Shares
or otherwise be entitled to any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company, until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the shares purchasable
upon the exercise shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
9. Issuance Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be
made without charge to the holder hereof for any issuance tax in respect hereof,
provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any income tax or tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the holder of this
Warrant.
10. Transfers, etc.
(a) The Company will maintain a register containing the names and
addresses of the Holder. The Holder may change its address as shown on the
warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7, this Warrant and all
rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this
Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Annex B hereto) at
the principal office of the Company.
(c) Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant
register, the Company may treat the Holder as the absolute owner hereof for all
purposes; provided, however, that if and when this Warrant is properly assigned
in blank, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) treat the bearer
hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice
to the contrary.
11. Modification and Waiver. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged, or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the Company and the holder of this Warrant.
12. Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted
to be given or delivered to the holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered,
or shall be sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to such
holder at its address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at
the address indicated therefore on the signature page of this Warrant.
4
13. Binding Effect on Successors. This Warrant shall be binding upon any
corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets, and all of the obligations of
the Company relating to Warrant Shares shall survive the exercise and
termination of this Warrant, and all of the covenants and agreements of the
Company shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the holder
hereof, except as otherwise set forth herein. The Company will, at the time of
the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon request of the holder
hereof but at the Company's expense, acknowledge in writing its continuing
obligation to the holder hereof in respect of any rights (including, without
limitation, any right to registration of the Shares) to which the holder hereof
shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with this
Warrant; provided that the failure of the holder hereof to make any such request
shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to the holder hereof
in respect of such rights.
14. Lost Warrants or Stock Certificates. The Company covenants to the
Holder that, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate issued upon exercise hereof or in replacement thereafter, and, in
the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and without requiring any bond, or in the
case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or
stock certificate, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock
certificate, or like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
Warrant or stock certificate.
15. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several
paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not
constitute a part of this Warrant.
16. Registration Rights. The Holder shall have the piggy-back registration
rights referred to in Schedule 1.

QUESTIONS, THIS WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND
THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.

Schedule 1
REGISTRATION OF WARRANT SHARES
The Company shall register Warrant Shares issued to the original
Holder according to the following: At any time after February 28, 2006 until the
fifth year after the Grant Date that the Company proposes to file under the
Securities Act a re-sale registration statement pursuant to Securities Act Rule
415(a)(1),(iii), or (iv), only (except with respect to registration statements
on Forms S-4 or S-8 or another form not generally available for registration of
securities), the Company will give written notice thereof to the original Holder
(if the original Holder has remained such) at least 15 days before filing. Upon
written request of such Holder (which request shall specify the number of
Warrant Shares that such Holder intended to sell), received by the Company
within ten (10) days after the Company's giving any such notice, to register any
of such Holder's Warrant Shares, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to
cause the Warrant Shares as to which registration shall have been so requested
to be included in the securities to be covered by the registration statement
proposed to be filed by the Company.
The rights and obligations of the Holder with respect to Warrant
Shares that the Company shall be required to register pursuant to the preceding
paragraph shall be the same, mutatis mutandis, as are applicable to security
holders whose securities otherwise are being registered, except that the
Holder's rights shall be junior to those of the other security holders, insofar
as any agreement giving them registration rights prohibits the Holder's having
rights pari passu with or senior to the rights to other security holders
(regardless whether such agreement uses such terminology, or, instead, contains
provisions having such effect). The Company's obligations hereunder shall be
conditioned up the Holder's signing an agreement confirming the same. If none of
such other security holders is a party to any agreement giving registration
rights, the Company's obligations hereunder shall be conditioned up the Holder's
signing an agreement containing terms customarily applicable to the exercise of
piggy-back registration rights.
