to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Investor and Restrictions on
------------------------------------------------------------------
Transfer Imposed by the Securities Act of 1933.
----------------------------------------------
3.1. Representations and Warranties of the Investor. Investor
----------------------------------------------
represents and warrants to the Company as of the Closing Date and upon
conversion of any Note as follows (the Notes and the securities issuable upon
conversion of the Notes and Warrants are collectively referred to as the
"Securities"):
----------
(a) All action on the part of the Investor for the authorization,
execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Agreement has been
taken, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the
Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws relating to
or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights.
(b) The Investor is experienced in evaluating and investing in
new companies such as the Company. The Investor is a sophisticated investor with
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the
Securities and who is capable of bearing the economic risks of such investment.
(c) The Investor is acquiring the Securities for investment for
its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution in contravention of applicable law. The Investor understands that
the Securities to be acquired have not been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), by reason of a specific exemption from the
---
registration provisions of the Act which depends upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. Investor is an
"Accredited Investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act.
(d) The Investor acknowledges that the Securities must be held
indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or unless an exemption
from such registration is available. The Investor is aware of the provisions of
Rule 144 promulgated under the Act which permits limited resale of securities
purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, including, in case the Investor has held the securities for less
than two years or is an affiliate of the Company, among other things: 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 through a "broker's transaction" or in
transactions directly with a "market maker," and the number of shares being sold
during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.
(e) The Investor understands that no public market now exists for
any of the securities issued by the Company and there has been and can be no
assurance that a public
2
offering will be successfully completed by the Company or that a public market
will ever exist for the Securities.
(f) The Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's
business, management and financial affairs with the Company's senior management
and an opportunity to review the Company's facilities. The Investor understands
that such discussions, as well as the written information issued by the Company,
were intended to describe the aspects of the Company's business and prospects
which it believes to be material but were not necessarily a thorough or
exhaustive description.
3.2. Legends. Each certificate representing the Securities shall be

STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
__________
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and its registered
assigns (hereinafter called the "Holder") is entitled to purchase from Empower
------
Health Corporation (the "Company"), at any time after the date specified in
-------
Section 1 hereof and ending at 5:00 p.m. Austin, Texas Time on the Expiration
Date, as such term is defined in Section 1 hereof, the shares of the Company's
Capital Stock determined by the schedule in Section 1 hereof (the "Warrant
Shares"). The Exercise Price per share of this warrant shall be the price per
share of the Next Financing, as such term is defined in Section 4.1 of the Loan
Agreement of even date herewith. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in
part, at the option of the Holder and in accordance with the schedule in Section
1 hereof. Unless otherwise defined herein, defined terms in this Warrant shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement of even date herewith.
1. Term and Vesting Schedule. This Warrant shall be exercisable
-------------------------
through December 24, 2003 (the "Expiration Date") according to the following
---------------
schedule:
The Warrant shall be exercisable for a number of shares of the type of
Equity Securities issued in the Next Financing equal in value (based on the
valuation of the Next Financing)
B-1
to 20% of the principal amount set forth opposite such Investor's name on the
signature page to the Loan Agreement.
2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. Subject to
----------------------------------------------------
Section 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be
exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by:
2.1. the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form
attached hereto as Attachment A and the Investment Representation Statement
attached hereto as Attachment B duly executed) at the principal office of the
Company; and
2.2. the payment to the Company, by check or wire, of an amount equal
to the then applicable Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares then being purchased.
If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall,
upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares
purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and such
notice of exercise, together with, if applicable, the aggregate Warrant Price,
at its principal executive office, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder
of record of the applicable Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock
transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the
Holder. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or
transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of the Warrant Shares
to the registered owner of this Warrant.
2.3. Net Exercise. In addition to and without limiting the rights of
------------
the Holder under the terms of this Warrant, the Holder may elect to convert this
Warrant or any portion thereof (the "Conversion Right") into Warrant Shares, the
----------------
aggregate value of which Warrant Shares shall be equal to the value of this
Warrant or the portion thereof being converted. The Conversion Right may be
exercised by the Holder by surrender of this Warrant at the principal executive
office of the Company together with notice of the Holder's intention to exercise
the Conversion Right, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a
number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:
X = Y(A - B)
--------
A
B-2
Where:
X - The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the holder upon
exercise of Conversion Right.
Y - The number of Warrant Shares issuable under this Warrant.
A - The fair market value of one Warrant Share, as determined in good
faith by the board of directors of the Company, as at the time
the Conversion Right is exercised pursuant to this Section 2. If
the Warrant hares are traded on a national securities exchange or
the Nasdaq National Market (or any successor), the fair market
value of one Warrant Share shall equal the closing sale price of
a Warrant Share on the trading day immediately prior to the date
the related notice of exercise is delivered to the Company.
B - Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Warrant Shares. All shares of stock
-----------------------------------------------
which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant
will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within
which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will
at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issue upon exercise
of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares
of its stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant. In the event that there is an insufficient number of Warrant Shares
reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will
take appropriate action to authorize an increase in the capital stock to allow
for such issuance or similar issuance acceptable to the Holder.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number
--------------------------------------------------------
and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the
Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of certain events, as follows:
4.1. Reclassification; Merger. In case of any reclassification or
------------------------
change of outstanding securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant (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 in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company
is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or any
other corporate reorganization in which the Company shall not be the continuing
or surviving entity of such consolidation, merger or reorganization, or any
transaction in which in excess of 50% of the Company's voting power is
transferred, or any sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of
the Company, the Company shall, as condition precedent to such transaction,
execute a new Warrant or cause such successor or
B-3
purchasing corporation, as the case may be, to execute a new Warrant, providing
that the Holder shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant and upon such
exercise to receive, in lieu of each share of stock theretofore issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change,
merger or acquisition by a holder of one share of stock. Such new Warrant shall
provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The provisions of
this Section 4.1 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes,
mergers and acquisitions.
4.2. Subdivision or Combination of Warrant Shares. If the Company at
--------------------------------------------
any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or
combine its stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased in the
case of a subdivision or increased in the case of a combination.
4.3. Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Warrant
---------------
is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend with respect to stock payable
in, or make any other distribution with respect to stock (except any
distribution specifically provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1 and 4.2)
of, stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately
prior to such date of determination by a fraction (i) the numerator of which
shall be the total number of shares of stock outstanding immediately prior to
such dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the
total number of shares of stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or
distribution.
4.4. Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares. Upon each adjustment in
--------------------------------------
the Warrant Price, the number of shares of stock purchasable hereunder shall be
adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the
Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price
immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the
Warrant Price immediately thereafter.
5. Fractional Warrant Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be
-------------------------
issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional
shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the
Warrant Price then in effect.
6. Compliance with Securities Act; Non-transferability of Warrant;
---------------------------------------------------------------
Disposition of Shares of Stock.
------------------------------
6.1. Compliance with Securities Act. The Holder, by acceptance
------------------------------
hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are being acquired for
investment and that he will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant
or any Warrant Shares except under circumstances which will not result in a
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Upon exercise
---
of
B-4
this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall confirm in writing, in a form of
Attachment B, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired for
investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale. In addition, the
Holder shall provide such additional information regarding such Holder's
financial and investment background as the Company may reasonably request. This
Warrant and all Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be
stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
"THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY
STATE SECURITIES LAW. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT THE PRIOR
WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY AND WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT OR RECEIPT OF A
NO-ACTION LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION."
6.2. Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant may not be transferred
--------------------------
or assigned in whole or in part without (i) the prior written consent of the
Company and (ii) compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws;
provided, however, that the Warrant may be transferred without the prior written
consent of the Company in the following transactions:
(a) A transfer of the Warrant in whole by a Holder who is a
natural person during such Holder's lifetime or on death by
will or intestacy to such Holder's immediate family or to
any custodian or trustee for the account of such Holder or
such Holder's immediate family. "Immediate family" as used

herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant, father, mother,
brother, or sister of the Holder;
(b) A transfer of the Warrant in whole to the Company or to any
shareholder of the Company;
(c) A transfer of the Warrant in whole or in part to a person

reclassification of shares or capital reorganization of the
corporate shareholder or pursuant to a sale of all or
substantially all of the stock or assets of a corporate
shareholder;
(e) A transfer of the Warrant in whole to a parent, subsidiary
or affiliate of a Holder; or
B-5
(f) A transfer of the Warrant in whole by a Holder which is a
limited or general partnership to any of its partners or
former partners.
6.3. Disposition of Warrant Shares. Upon exercise of the Warrant
-----------------------------
Shares, the Holder will be entitled to any registration rights granted the other
holders of securities issued in the Next Financing. With respect to any offer,
sale or other disposition of any Warrant Shares prior to registration of such
shares, the Holder and each subsequent Holder of this Warrant agrees to give
written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner
thereof, together with a written opinion of such Holder's counsel, if reasonably
requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other
disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act
as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect) of such Warrant
Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for such shares
to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to
applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with
the Act; provided, however, that no such opinion of counsel or no action letter
-------- -------
shall be necessary for a transfer without consideration by a Holder which is a
partnership to a partner of such partnership, so long as such transfer is made
pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, or to the transfer by gift,
will or intestate succession by the Holder to his or her spouse or lineal
descendants or ancestors or any trust for the benefit of any of the foregoing if
the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same
extent as if he/she were an original Holder hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, such Warrant Shares may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in
accordance with Rule 144.
7. Rights of Shareholders. No Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled
----------------------
to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of stock or any other
securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise
hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to
confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or
upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or
withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization,
issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of
stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to
receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or
otherwise until this Warrant has been exercised and the Warrant Shares shall
have become deliverable, as provided herein.
8. Governing Law. The terms and conditions of this Warrant shall be
-------------
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.
9. Miscellaneous. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of
-------------
convenience and reference only, and shall not be deemed to constitute a part
hereof. Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by
the Company and the registered Holder. All notices and other communications
from the Company to the Holder shall be delivered by hand or mailed by first-
class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address furnished to
the Company in writing by the Holder.

ATTACHMENT B
INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
-----------------------------------
PURCHASER :
COMPANY : EMPOWER HEALTH CORPORATION
SECURITY :
AMOUNT :
DATE :
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed securities and underlying
stock (the "Securities"), I, the Purchaser, represent to the Company the
----------
following:
(a) I am aware of the Company's business affairs and financial
condition, and have acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach
an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. I am
purchasing these Securities for my own account for investment purposes only and
not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any "distribution"
thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act").
--------------
(b) I understand that the Securities have not been registered under
the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which
exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of my
investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, I understand that,
in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the statutory
---
basis for such exemption may be unavailable if my representation was predicated
solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital
gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an
increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of
one year or any other fixed period in the future.
(c) I further understand that the Securities must be held
indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless
an exemption from registration is otherwise available. In addition, I understand
that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend
which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or
such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.
(d) I am aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the
Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of
"restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer
thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
(e) I further understand that at the time I wish to sell the
Securities there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale.
(f) I further understand that in the event all of the requirements of
Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance
with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and
that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the
SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement
securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to
Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an
exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such
persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so
at their own risk.
