ANNEX I TO AMDL, INC.
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT DATED JULY 1, 1999
STATEMENT OF RIGHTS OF WARRANT HOLDER
1. Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in
-------------------
part at any time or from time to time after July 1, 1999 and before 5:00 p.m.,
Pacific Time, on July 1, 2004, by presentation and surrender hereof to the
Company, with the Exercise Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by
payment by cashier's check or wire transfer of the Exercise Price for the number
of shares specified in such form, together with all federal and state taxes
applicable upon such exercise. If this Warrant should be exercised in part
only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation,
execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase
the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of
this Warrant and the Exercise Price at the office or agency of the Company, in
proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record
of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that
the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that
certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually
delivered to the Holder.
2. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
--------------------
entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant and
are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
3. Adjustment in Number of Shares.
------------------------------
(A) Adjustment for Reclassifications. In case at any time or from
--------------------------------
time to time after July 1, 1999 ("the Issue Date") the holders of the Common
Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received, or, on or
after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders,
shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefore, other or
additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of
stock-split, spinoff, reclassification, combination of shares or similar
corporate rearrangement (exclusive of any stock dividend of its or any
subsidiary's capital stock), then and in each such case the Holder of this
Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, shall be entitled to
receive the amount of stock and other securities and property which such Holder
would hold on the date of such exercise if on the Issue Date he had been the
holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company called
for on the face of this Warrant and had thereafter, during the period from the
Issue Date, to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares
and/or all other or additional stock and other securities and property
receivable by him as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all
adjustments called for during such period.
(B) Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. In case of
----------------------------------------------------
any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or other
securities of which are
A-5
at the time receivable on the exercise of this Warrant) after the Issue Date, or
in case, after such date, the Company (or any such other corporation) shall
consolidate with or merge into another corporation or convey all or
substantially all of its assets to another corporation, then and in each such
case the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section
1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation,
merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or
other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior
to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such
Holder would be entitled had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior
thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein; in each such
case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or
other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after
such consummation.
4. Notices to Warrant Holders. So long as this Warrant shall be
--------------------------
outstanding and unexercised (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make
any distribution upon the Common Stock or (ii) if the Company shall offer to the
holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any shares of stock
of any class or any other rights or (iii) if any capital reorganization of the
Company, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or transfer
of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to another
corporation, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the Company shall be effected, then, in any such case, the Company shall
cause to be delivered to the Holder, at least ten days prior to the date
specified in (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief
description of the proposed action and stating the date on which (x) a record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (y)
such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any, is
to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled
to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger,
conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
5. Officer's Certificate. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be
---------------------
adjusted as required by the provisions hereof, the Company shall forthwith file
in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal
office, and with its stock transfer agent, if any, an officer's certificate
showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined as herein provided and setting
forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment. Each such
officer's certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for
inspection by the Holder and the Company shall, forthwith after each such
adjustment, deliver a copy of such certificate to the Holder. Such certificate
shall be conclusive as to the correctness of such adjustment.
6. Restrictions on Transfer. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance
------------------------
thereof, agrees that, absent an effective notification under Regulation A or
registration statement, in either case under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act"), covering the disposition of this Warrant or the Common Stock issued or
issuable upon exercise hereof, such Holder will not sell or transfer any or all
of this Warrant or such Common Stock without first providing the Company with an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that
such sale or transfer will be
A-6
exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act.
Such Holder agrees that the Company may issue instructions to its transfer agent
to place, or may itself place, a "stop order" on transfers with respect to the
Warrant and Common Stock and that the certificates evidencing the Warrant and
Common Stock which will be delivered to such Holder by the Company shall bear
substantially the following legend:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION
FROM THE REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCH REGISTRATION FOR NONPUBLIC
OFFERINGS. ACCORDINGLY, THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE,
HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES
EVIDENCED HEREBY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF OR INTEREST THEREIN
MAY NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THAT ACT OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL SATISFACTORY IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE TO THE COMPANY TO
THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
Each Holder of this Warrant, at the time all or a portion of such
Warrant is exercised, agrees to make such written representations to the Company
as counsel for the Company may reasonably request, in order that the Company may
be reasonably satisfied that such exercise of the Warrant and consequent
issuance of Common Shares will not violate the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Act, or other applicable state securities laws.
7. Piggyback Registration Rights. If, at any time after July 1, 1999
-----------------------------
and expiring July 1, 2004, the Company proposes to register any of its
securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") (except for
registrations on Forms S-8 or S-4 or their equivalent), it will give written
notice by registered mail, at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of each
such registration statement, to Holder of its intention to do so. If Holder
notifies the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice of
its desire to include any such shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant in such proposed registration statement, the Company shall afford
Holder the opportunity to have any such shares of Common Stock registered under
such registration statement at the Company's sole cost and expense. These
rights may be exercised at any time on an unlimited number of occasions prior to
July 1, 2004, subject to the absolute discretion of any underwriter of the
Company's securities requesting that the shares of Common Stock held by the
Holder not be sold for a period not to exceed 180 days from the effective date
of the Company's initial underwritten public offering. If the underwriter
believes that the total amount of securities sought to be registered by the
Holder and any other holder of similar rights exceeds the amount of securities
that the underwriter deems advisable to include in the offering, only the pro
rata number of shares of Common Stock requested by the Holder with all other
holders of shares of
A-7
Common Stock requesting registration pursuant to piggyback registration rights,
if any, shall be so registerable. If the Company files a registration statement
on Form S-8 and this Warrant may be registered under the Act at that time, the
Company agrees to include the Warrant and Common Shares in such registration.
8. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
------------------
satisfactory to it (in the exercise of reasonable discretion) of the ownership
of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and (in the
case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to it (in the
exercise of reasonable discretion), and (in the case of mutilation) upon
surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu
thereof a new Warrant of like tenor.
9. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve
---------------------------
and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit
the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.
10. Notices. All notices and other communications from the Company to
-------
the Holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address furnished to the Company in
writing by the last Holder of this Warrant who shall have furnished an address
to the Company in writing.
11. Change; Waiver. 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 party against which enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought.
12. Law Governing. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in
-------------
accordance with and governed by the laws of Delaware.

EXHIBIT B
GENERAL RELEASE
---------------
WHEREAS, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx ("Releasor") and AMDL, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Releasee") have entered into that certain Agreement Regarding Cancellation of
Indebtedness dated as of July 1, 1999 (the "Agreement");
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, Releasee has agreed to General Release.
1. Release.
-------
(a) For valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,
Releasor does hereby release, acquit and forever discharge Releasee and its
shareholders, partners, principals, employees, agents, relatives, and successors
and assigns (all of whom shall be included as a Releasee), from any and all
claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, costs, or other claims
whatsoever in law or equity, which Releasor may have against the Releasee. In
so doing, Releasor releases, relinquishes, remises, waives forever, discharges,
absolves, and quits the Releasee from each, every and all things, including by
way of example, but not limitation each and every claim, action, cause of action
whatsoever and all liabilities, debts, sums of money, controversies,
indebtedness, breaches of contract, breaches of duty or any relationships, acts,
omissions, promises, agreements, representations, damages and any demand of any
type, nature, kind or description, whether in law or in equity, or otherwise,
whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, heretofore or now existing
which could, might or may be claimed to exist from the beginning of time unto
the date of these presents.
(b) Releasor does hereby acknowledge and agree that it is Releasor's
intention that this release shall be effective as a full and final accord and
satisfaction and settlement of and as a bar to each and every claim, demand,
debt, account, reckoning, liability, obligation, cost, expense, lien, action and
cause of action, heretofore referred to and released, which Releasor has against
Releasee. In connection with such waiver and relinquishment, Releasor
acknowledges that Releasor is aware that Releasor or Releasor's attorney may
hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to the facts which they
or their attorney now know or believe to be true with respect to the subject
matter of this release, but that it is Releasor's intention to fully, finally,

California which provides as follows:
B-1
"A general release does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at
the time of executing the release, which if known by him
must have materially affected his settlement with the
debtor."
(c) Releasor does hereby abandon, release, waive and relinquish all rights
and benefits which Releasor may acquire under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of
the State of California pertaining to the subject matter of this release.
2. Consideration.
-------------
Concurrent with the execution hereof, Releasee shall pay to Releasor the
other consideration set forth in the Agreement.
