qualified to do business under the laws of the State of Utah, and is duly
qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character

Adverse Effect”);
(ii)

3.2 Loan
Agreement, Note and Loan Documents Authorized.
The
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower,
are duly
authorized and do not require the consent or approval of any governmental
body
or other regulatory authority; are not in contravention of or conflict
with any
law or regulation or any term or provision of its organizational documents;
and
the Loan Documents are valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable
in
accordance with their terms.
3.3 Collateral.
(a) Borrower
is the sole owner of its rights in the Collateral, free and clear of any
liens
and is fully authorized to grant the Security Interest in and to pledge
the
Collateral. There is not on file in any governmental or regulatory authority,
agency or recording office an effective financing statement, security agreement
or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing covering or affecting
any of
the Collateral. So long as this Loan Agreement and Note shall be in effect,
Borrower shall not execute and shall not authorize the filing of in any
such
office or agency any such financing statement or other document or instrument
(except to the extent filed or recorded in favor of Lender pursuant to
the terms
of this Loan Agreement) without the prior written consent of
Lender.
(b) Borrower
represents and warrants that it has no place of business or offices where
its
respective books of account and records are kept (other than temporarily
at the
offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where the Collateral
is
stored or located, other than at its offices at (i) 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxx,
#000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxx 00000 and (ii) 00000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxx,

thereof (which must be within the United States) and (ii) evidence that
appropriate financing statements and other necessary documents have been
filed
and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the Security Interest
to
create in favor of each of Lender a valid, perfected and continuing first
priority lien in the Collateral.
(d) Borrower
has no knowledge of any claim that any of the Collateral or Borrower’s use of
any Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There has been no
adverse
decision of which Borrower is aware as to Borrower’s exclusive (or nonexclusive,
as the case may be) rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction, and,
to
the knowledge of Borrower there is no proceeding involving said rights
pending
or threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory
agency, arbitrator or other governmental authority.
(e) This
Loan
Agreement creates in favor of the Lender a valid security interest in the
Collateral, securing the payment and satisfaction of the Obligations (as
defined
in Section 6), and, upon making all applicable filings,

perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral. No
authorization or approval of or filing (other than the filings referred
to in

or the
effectiveness of, the Security Interest granted hereby or for the execution,
delivery and performance of this Loan Agreement by Borrower or (ii) for
the
perfection of or exercise by Lender of its rights and remedies
hereunder.

other jurisdictions as Lender deem necessary.
(g) Borrower
shall at all times maintain the Security Interest provided for hereunder
as a
valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral
in favor
of Lender and insure that such Security Interest remains senior to all
existing
and hereafter created security interests and liens. Borrower shall safeguard
and
protect all Collateral. Borrower hereby agrees to defend the same against
any
and all persons.

will not
sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral without

prior written consent of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender

Forschungs - und Entwicklungs GmbH, an Austrian company, pursuant to the
July 6,
2007 Sale and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Eucodis

shall keep and preserve the tangible Collateral in good condition, repair
and
order, and shall not knowingly operate or locate any such Collateral (or
cause
to be operated or located) in any area excluded from insurance coverage

does not
result in an adverse
effect on the value of the Collateral or on Lender’s security interest
therein.
(j) Borrower
shall, within 10 days of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise Lender, in
sufficient detail, of any substantial change in all or any material portion
of

therein.

shall permit Lender and its representatives and agents upon prior written
consent to inspect the Collateral at any time during normal business hours,

shall promptly notify Lender in sufficient detail upon becoming aware of
any
attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process levied against
any
Collateral and of any other information received by Borrower that reasonably
would be expected to have an adverse effect on the value of the Collateral,

Security Interest or the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder.

-
(m) Borrower
shall not use or permit any Collateral to be used unlawfully or in violation
of
any provision of this Agreement or
any
applicable statute, regulation or ordinance or any policy of insurance
covering
the Collateral where violation is reasonably likely to have a material
adverse
effect on Lender’s rights in the Collateral or Lender’s ability to foreclose on
the Collateral.
(n) Borrower
shall not grant to any person or entity any rights or interest in or to
any of
the Collateral.

in Name.
Borrower shall notify Lender of any change in Borrower’s name or identity within
30 days of such change.
3.5 No
Conflict.

execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents will not breach
or
constitute a default under any agreement, indenture, undertaking or other
instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its properties
may be bound or affected, and, other than in favor of Lender, such execution,
delivery and performance will not result in the creation or imposition of (or
the obligation to create or impose) any lien, charge or encumbrance on,
or
security interest in, any of its properties pursuant to any of the
foregoing.
3.6 No
Litigation.
Except
as
disclosed to Lender in writing, there is no litigation or other proceedings
pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or
affecting it, or its properties or the Collateral and

for the filing of the UCC-1 Financing Statements, no consents, approvals,
filings, permits or notices of, from,
with or to any person or entity are required on the part of Borrower in
connection with the execution
of this Loan Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby that
have
not been duly obtained, made or given, as the case may be.
3.8 Solvency.
None of
the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document will
be or
have been made with an actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any present
or
future creditors of Borrower. After giving effect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and by each of the Loan Documents, Borrower will not
be
left with an unreasonably small capital for the business or transactions
in
which it is engaged or about to be engaged.
3.9 No
Bankruptcy Filing.
Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under
any
state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all
or a
major portion of its assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge
of any
person or entity contemplating the filing of any such petition against
it.

Filing.
Borrower has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal,
state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower, if
any.

reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other
applicable tax authority upon audit.

Loan Documents are not subject to any valid right of rescission, setoff,
abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense as against the Lender and
its
successors and assigns in interest, including the defense of usury, and
the
operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of
any
right thereunder, will not render
the Loan unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, setoff, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense, including
the defense of usury, and Borrower has not taken any action which would
give
rise to the assertion of any of the foregoing and no such right of rescission,

binding and enforceable obligations of Borrower, subject as to enforcement

of
such laws and principles are not waivable under law or in equity.

and Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of any Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to exercise all of
the
remedies conferred hereunder and under the Notes, and Lender shall have
all the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limitation,
Lender
shall have the following rights and powers upon and during the continuance
of an
Event of Default:
(a) Lender
shall have the right to take possession of all tangible manifestations
or
embodiments of the Collateral and, for that purpose, without breaching
the peace
enter, with the aid and assistance of any person previously identified
to, and
approved in writing by, Borrower, any premises where the Collateral, or
any part
thereof, is placed and remove the same, and Borrower shall assemble the
Collateral and make it available to Lender at Borrower’s premises.
(b) Lender
shall have the right to assign, sell, or otherwise dispose of and deliver
all or
any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise, either
with
or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit (for
United
States Dollars or such other currency as it may choose) or for future delivery,
in such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or
places,
and upon such terms and conditions as Lender may deem commercially reasonable,
all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot
be
waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to Borrower or right of
redemption of Borrower, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such
sale,
assignment or other transfer of Collateral, Lender may, unless prohibited
by
applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the
Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims,
right of
redemption and equities of Borrower, which are hereby waived and
released.
(c) Lender
may sublicense, to the same extent Borrower is permitted by law and contract
to
do so, whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any of the Collateral
throughout the world for such period, on such conditions and in such manner
as
Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion, determine.
(d) Lender
may (without assuming any obligations or liabilities thereunder), at any
time,
enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to enforce) against licensee
or
sublicensee all rights and remedies of Borrower in, to and under any license
agreement with respect to such Collateral, and take or refrain from taking
any
action thereunder.
(e) Lender
may, in order to implement the assignment, license, sale or other disposition
of
any of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, execute and deliver on
behalf of
Borrower one or more instruments of assignment of the Collateral in form
suitable for filing, recording or registration in any jurisdictions as
Lender
may determine advisable.
(f) In
the
event that any Lender shall recover from Borrower or the Collateral more
than
its pro rata share of the Obligations owed to all Lender hereunder, whether
by
agreement, understanding or arrangement with Borrower or any other person,
set
off or other means, such Lender shall immediately deliver or pay over to
the
other Lender its pro rata portion of any such recovery in the form
received.

6.3 Applications
of Proceeds; Expenses.
(a) The
proceeds of any such sale, sublicense or other disposition of the Collateral
hereunder shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking, holding,
storing,
processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without
limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith)
of
the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by
Lender in enforcing its rights hereunder and in connection with collecting,
storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the
Obligations, and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable
law,
after which Lender shall pay to Borrower any surplus proceeds. If, upon
the
sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof
are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is legally entitled, Borrower
will be liable for the deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable
law,
Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands against Lender arising
out of
the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless
due to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
(b) Borrower
agrees to pay all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred
in
connection with any filing required hereunder, including, without limitation,
any financing statements, continuation statements, partial releases and/or
termination statements related thereto or any expenses of any searches
reasonably required by Lender. Borrower shall also pay all other claims
and
charges which in the reasonable opinion of Lender would reasonably be expected
to prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Security
Interest therein. Borrower will also, upon demand, pay to the Lender the
amount
of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel and of any experts and agents, which Lender may incur in connection
with the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or
other
realization upon, any of the Collateral.
6.4 Responsibility
for Collateral.
Borrower assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with
all
Collateral, and the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Notes
shall
in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction,
damage
or theft of any of the Collateral or its unenforceability or unavailability
for
any reason.
6.5 Security
Interest Absolute. In the event that at any time any transfer of any
Collateral or any payment received by Lender hereunder shall be deemed
by final
order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference
or
fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United
States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than
Lender,
then, in any such event, Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall survive, and
shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof, but
shall
remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the
terms
and provisions hereof. Borrower waives all right to require Lender to proceed
against any other person or to apply any Collateral which Lender may hold
at any
time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives any defense arising by reason
of
the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured
hereby.
-
15
-
6.6 Term
of Security Interest. The Security Interest shall terminate on the date on
which all payments under the Notes have been made in full and all other
Obligations have been paid or discharged in full. Upon such termination,
Lender,
at the request and at the expense of Borrower, will join in executing any
termination statement and other filings with respect to any financing statement
executed and filed pursuant to this Agreement or required for evidencing
termination of the Security Interest.
6.7 Power
of Attorney; Further Assurances. Borrower
authorizes Lender, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Lender,
and
its officers, agents, successors or assigns with full power of substitution,
as
Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in its own name or in
the name of Borrower, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an
Event of Default, (i) endorse any notes, checks, drafts, money orders,
or other
instruments of payment (including payments payable under or in respect
of any
policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession
of Lender; (ii) to sign and endorse any UCC financing statement or any
invoice,
freight or express xxxx, xxxx of lading, storage or warehouse receipts,
drafts
against Borrower, assignments, verifications and notices in connection
with
accounts, and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay
or
discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any
time
levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to demand,
collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and xxx for monies due in respect
of
the Collateral; and (v) generally, to do, at the option of Lender, and
at
Borrower’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which
Lender deem necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral
and
the Security Interest granted therein, in order to effect the intent of
this
Loan Agreement and the Notes, all as fully and effectually as Borrower
might or
could do; and Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully
do
or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled
with an
interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Loan
Agreement.
(a) On
a
continuing basis, Borrower will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file
and
record, as the case may be, with the proper filing and recording places
in any
jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the State of Utah, all such
instruments, and take all such action as necessary to perfect the Security
Interest granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes
of
this Loan Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to Lender the grant
or
perfection of a first priority security interest in all the
Collateral.
(b) Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower,
from
time to time in Lender’s discretion, to file, in its sole discretion, one or
more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative
to
any of the Collateral.
6.8 Termination
and Release.
The
Security Interest shall terminate when all Obligations have been finally
and
indefeasibly paid in full. Upon the effectiveness of any written consent
to the
release of the Security Interest in any Collateral, the Security Interest
in
such Collateral shall be automatically released. Upon any sale, transfer
or
other disposition of Collateral permitted by the Loan Documents and Section
3(j)
hereof, the Security Interest in such Collateral shall be automatically
released
(other than to the extent any such sale, transfer or other disposition
of such
Collateral would, immediately after giving effect thereto, result in the
receipt
by Borrower of any other property (whether in the form of Proceeds or otherwise)
that would, but for the release of the Security Interest therein pursuant
to
this clause, constitute Collateral, in which event the Lien created hereunder
shall continue in such property). In connection with any termination or
release
pursuant to this Section, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower,
at
Borrower’s own cost and expense, all UCC termination statements and similar
documents that Borrower may reasonably request to evidence such termination
or
release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section
shall be without recourse to or warranty by Lender.

adequacy
of its security.

The
rights, powers and remedies of the Lender hereunder are cumulative and
in
addition to all rights, powers and remedies provided under any and all
agreements between Borrower and the Lender relating hereto, at law, in
equity or
otherwise. Any delay or failure by Lender to exercise any right, power
or remedy
shall not constitute a waiver thereof by the Lender, and no single or partial

or
further exercise thereof or any exercise of any other rights, powers or
remedies. No delay or omission of the Lender to exercise any right or remedy

to
require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Loan
Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default
for
failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount. Every right
and
remedy given by this Section or by law to the Lender may be exercised from
time
to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Lender and may
be
pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order
as the

fulfillment of any provisions of this Note or of any of the Loan Documents,
at

to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity and if, from
any
circumstance whatsoever, Payee or any holder of this Note shall ever receive
as
interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the receipt
of
such excess shall be credited against the principal amount of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby to which the same may lawfully be credited, and any portion

name of the Holder or such other name or names as may be designated by the
Holder, together with any other securities or other property which the Holder
is
entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be delivered to the
Holder hereof, at the Company’s expense, within a reasonable time, not exceeding
fifteen (15) calendar days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall
have been so exercised; and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant
representing the number of Shares (except a remaining fractional share), if
any,
with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall
also
be issued to the Holder hereof within such time. The person in whose name any
certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued upon exercise of this Warrant
shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such
shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the
Warrant Price was received by the Company, irrespective of the date of delivery
of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment
is
on a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person
shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Shares at the close of
business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are
open.
1.6 Restrictive
Legend.
Each
certificate for Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the
form
as follows, together with any additional legend required by (i) any
applicable state securities laws and (ii) any securities exchange upon
which such Shares may, at the time of such exercise, be listed:
“The
shares of stock evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under
the
U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold, pledged
or otherwise transferred ("transferred") in the absence of such registration
or
an applicable exemption therefrom. In the absence of such registration, such
shares may not be transferred unless, if the Company requests, the Company
has
received a written opinion from counsel in form and substance satisfactory
to
the Company stating that such transfer is being made in compliance with all
applicable federal and state securities laws.”
Any
certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate
bearing such legend shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of
counsel for the Holder thereof (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Company), the securities represented thereby are not, at such time,
required by law to bear such legend.
-

-
1.7 Fractional
Shares.
No
fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant
and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest
whole
Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion
of
the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by
paying to Holder an amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest
by
the Warrant Price of a full Share then in effect.
1.8 Cashless
Exercise.
(a) Holder
may, at its option, in lieu of paying the Warrant Price upon exercise of this
Warrant pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof, elect to instead to receive a number
of
Shares computed using the following formula:
X=Y(A-B)
A
Where
X=
the number of Shares issuable to Holder upon exercise of this Warrant under
this
Section 1.8, Y=the number of Shares issuable to Holder upon exercise of this
Warrant under Section 1.4 herof, A=the Fair Market Value (as defined below)
of
one Share of Common Stock as of the exercise date; and B=the Warrant Price
of
one Share of Common Stock.
(b) For
purposes of this Section 1.8, "Fair
Market Value"
of one
Share of Common Stock as of a particular date shall be determined as follows:
(i) if traded on a national securities exchange or through the Nasdaq Stock
Market, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the volume weighted average
closing price of the Common Stock on such exchange as of five business days
immediately prior to such date (or if no reported sales took place on such
day,
the last date on which any such sales took place prior to the date of exercise);
(ii) if
traded
over-the-counter or the Pink Sheets but not on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the
"Fair Market Value" shall be deemed to be the average of the closing price
as of
five business days immediately prior to such date;
and
(iii) if there is no active market public market, the "Fair Market Value' shall
the fair market, as mutually determined by the Holder and the Company or, if
the
Holder and the Company are unable to reach such agreement, as determined by
a
nationally recognized independent investment banker or valuation consultant
(which has not been retained by the Company or any of its affiliates for the
past two years preceding such determination) mutually acceptable to Holder
and
Company.
Section
2. Representations,
Warranties and Covenants.
2.1 Representations
and Warranties.
(a) The
Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of its state of incorporation and has all necessary power and
authority to perform its obligations under this Warrant;
(b) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Warrant has been duly authorized
by
all necessary actions on the part of the Company and constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company
in
accordance with its terms; and
(c) This
Warrant does not violate and is not in conflict with any of the provisions
of
the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and any resolutions of the
Company’s Board of Directors or stockholders, or any agreement of the Company,
and no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance exists that might
(with or without notice or lapse of time) constitute or result directly or
indirectly in such a violation or conflict.
2.2 Issuance
of Shares.
The
Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued
upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance,
be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens
and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants
and
agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state
taxes
which may be payable in respect of the issue of this Warrant or any Common
Stock
or certificates therefor issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant excluding
the Holder's income and other taxes not directly relating to the issuance of
the
Warrant or Common Stock. The Company further covenants and agrees that the
Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive
rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the
exercise in full of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time
the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company shall
not be sufficient to effect the exercise of the Warrant in full, subject to
the
limitations set forth in Section 1.3 hereto, then the Company will take all
such
corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, be necessary
or advisable to increase the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock
as
shall be sufficient to permit the exercise of the Warrant in full, subject
to
the limitations set forth in Section 1.3 hereto, including without limitation,
using its best efforts to obtain any necessary stockholder approval of such
increase. The Company further covenants and agrees that if any shares of capital
stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of shares upon the exercise
of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental
authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly
issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will in good faith and
as
expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval,
as
the case may be. If and so long as the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
of this Warrant is listed on any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq
Stock Market, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange
or
market, list and keep listed on such exchange or market, upon official notice
of
issuance, all shares of such Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant.
Section
3. Other
Adjustments.
3.1 Subdivision
or Combination of Shares.
In case
the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to
such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and the number of Shares subject
to this Warrant shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in case
the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number
of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
shall be proportionately increased, and the number of Shares subject to this
Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.
3.2 Dividends
in Common Stock, Other Stock or Property.
If at
any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of
stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment
therefor:
(a) Common
Stock, Options or any shares or other securities which are at any time directly
or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights
or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing
by way of dividend or other distribution;
(b) any
cash
paid or payable otherwise than as a regular cash dividend; or
(c) Common
Stock or additional shares or other securities or property (including cash)
by
way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar
corporate rearrangement (other than Common Stock issued as a stock split or
adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3.1
above) or additional shares, other securities or property issued in connection
with a Change (as defined below) (which shall be covered by the terms of Section
3.3 below), then and in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the
exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number
of
shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any
additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities
and
property (including cash in the cases referred to in clause (b) above and this
clause (c)) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such
Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which
holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares
or
all other additional stock and other securities and property.
3.3 Reorganization,
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If
any
recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the share capital of
the
Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation,
or the sale of all or substantially all of its shares and/or assets or other
transaction (including, without limitation, a sale of substantially all of
its
assets followed by a liquidation) shall be effected in such a way that holders
of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shares, securities or other assets
or property (a “Change”),
then,
as a condition of such Change, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made
by
the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to
purchase and receive (in lieu of the Common Stock of the Company immediately
theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights
represented hereby) such shares, securities or other assets or property as
may
be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of
outstanding Common Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to receive
had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation
of
such Change. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a
new
Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide
for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to
give effect to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3 including, without
limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities
or
property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this
Section 3.3 shall similarly apply to successive Changes.

Section
4. Ownership
and Transfer.
4.1 Ownership
of This Warrant.
The
Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered
as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership
or
writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and
shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary until presentation of this Warrant
for registration of transfer as provided in this Section 4.
4.2 Transfer
and Replacement.
This
Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part upon
the
books of the Company by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized
attorney, and a new Warrant or Warrants, of the same tenor as this Warrant
but
registered in the name of the transferee or transferees (and in the name of
the
Holder, if a partial transfer is effected) shall be made and delivered by the
Company upon surrender of this Warrant duly endorsed, at the office of the
Company in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof. Upon receipt by the Company
of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft or destruction, and,
in such case, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon
surrender of this Warrant if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a
new
Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant; provided that if the Holder
hereof is an instrumentality of a state or local government or an institutional
holder or a nominee for such an instrumentality or institutional holder an
irrevocable agreement of indemnity by such Holder shall be sufficient for all
purposes of this Warrant, and no evidence of loss or theft or destruction shall
be necessary. This Warrant shall be promptly cancelled by the Company upon
the
surrender hereof in connection with any transfer or replacement. Except as
otherwise provided above, in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of
a
Warrant, the Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable
in
connection with any transfer or replacement of this Warrant, other than income
taxes and stock transfer taxes (if any) payable in connection with a transfer
of
this Warrant, which shall be payable by the Holder. Holder will not transfer
this Warrant and the rights hereunder except in compliance with federal and
state securities laws and except after providing evidence of such compliance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a shareholder
of
the Company except upon exercise in accordance with the terms hereof. No
provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase
shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or
privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for

Warrant Price hereunder or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
5.4 Governing
Law.

Holder.

Amendments and Headings.
This
Warrant and any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by both parties (either

prospectively). The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference
only
and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions
hereof.
5.7 Jurisdiction.
Each of
the parties irrevocably agrees that any and all suits or proceedings based
on or
arising under this Agreement may be brought only in and shall be resolved in
the
federal or state courts located in the City of Los Angeles, California and
consents to the jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose. Each of the
parties irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such suit or proceeding in any such court. Each of the parties
further agrees that service of process upon such party mailed by first class
mail to the address set forth in Section 5.1 shall be deemed in every respect
effective service of process upon such party in any such suit or proceeding.
Nothing herein shall affect the right of a Holder to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law. Each of the parties agrees that a final non-appealable
judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful
manner.
5.8 Attorneys'
Fees and Disbursements.
If any
action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of
this Agreement, the prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to receive
