SECTION 2. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.
(a) Each Warrant evidenced hereby may be exercised by the Holder upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein prior the
Expiration Date. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
immediately prior to the close of business on the Exercise Date and the
person entitled to receive shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such

and in any event within ten (10) business days after, the date on which
the Corporation first receives clearance of all funds received in

March 28, 2008
Page 13 of 22
SECTION 3. RESERVATION OF SHARES; TAXES; ETC.
(a) The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of issue upon the valid exercise of Warrants, such number of
Warrant Shares as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all
Warrants then outstanding. The Corporation covenants that all shares of
Common Stock which shall be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
shall, at the time of delivery, be duly and validly issued, fully-paid,
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect
to the issuance thereof (other than those which the Corporation shall
promptly pay or discharge, or any liens created thereon by the Holder
and/or any predecessor of the Holder).
(b) The Corporation shall not be obligated to deliver any Warrant
Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby
unless and until a registration statement under the Securities Act
and/or under any applicable state securities laws and regulations, with
respect to such securities is effective, or an exemption from such
registration is available to the Corporation at the time of such
exercise. The Corporation covenants that if any Warrant Shares reserved
for the purpose of exercise of Warrants hereunder require registration
with, or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal or
state securities law before such securities may be validly issued or
delivered upon such exercise, then the Corporation will in good faith
and as expeditiously as reasonably possible, endeavor to secure such
registration or approval. However, in the event that this Warrant
Certificate represents Warrants which have been transferred by the
Holder, the Warrants represented hereby may not be exercised by, nor
shares of Common Stock issued to, the holder hereof in any state in
which such exercise and issuance would be unlawful.
(c) The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar taxes
and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the
issuance of the Warrants, or the issuance or delivery of any shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants; provided, however, that if
the shares of Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than the
name of the Holder, then no such delivery shall be made unless the
person requesting the same has paid to the Corporation the amount of
transfer taxes or charges incident thereto, if any.
SECTION 4. LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence
satisfactory to it of the ownership of, and loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of, this Warrant Certificate and (in case of loss, theft or
destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to the Corporation, and (in the case of
mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Corporation shall
execute and deliver to the Holder in lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate of
like tenor representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants as was indicated
to be outstanding on the prior lost or mutilated Warrant Certificate; provided,
however, that to the extent that any discrepancy may exist between the number of
Warrants purported to be outstanding in respect of the Holder as evidenced by a
Warrant Certificate that has been lost or mutilated and the number attributable
to the Holder in the Warrant Registry, then the Warrant Registry shall control
for all purposes, absent a showing of manifest error. If the Holder requests a
substitute Warrant Certificate due to loss, theft or destruction shall, prior to
receiving such substitute certificate, the Holder shall provide an affidavit to
the Corporation in the form prescribed thereby and signed by (and notarized on
behalf of) the Holder. Applicants for a substitute Warrant Certificate shall
comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable
charges as the Corporation may prescribe.

SECTION 5. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. Subject to the provisions of this
Warrant Certificate and applicable law, in the event the Corporation, at any
time or from time to time after the date hereof while the Warrants are
outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its common stock, (ii) subdivides
outstanding shares of common stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii)
combines outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares,
then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be equal to $0.21
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
common stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding
immediately after such event.
SECTION 6. RESTRICTIVE LEGEND.

Certificate and each certificate evidencing the issuance of Warrant
Shares (whether issued in the name of the Holder of this Warrant
Certificate or of any subsequent transferee thereof), shall be stamped

and so long as such security shall have been effectively registered
under the Securities Act and is disposed of pursuant thereto; or (ii)
when the Corporation shall have received an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to it that such shares may be sold to the
public without registration thereof under the Securities Act. Whenever
the legend requirements imposed by this Section 6 shall terminate as to
any Warrant Share, as hereinabove provided, the Holder hereof shall be
entitled to receive from the Corporation, at the Corporation's expense,
a new certificate representing such Warrant Shares and not bearing the
restrictive legend set forth in Section 6(a).
SECTION 7. RIGHTS OF ACTION. All rights of action with respect to the Warrants
are vested in the Holder of the Warrants, and the Holder of the Warrant, without
consent of the holder of any other warrants of the Corporation, may, in the
Holder's own behalf and for his own benefit, enforce against the Corporation the
Holder's right to exercise the Holder's Warrants for the purchase of Warrant
Shares in the manner provided in this Warrant Certificate.
SECTION 8. AGREEMENT OF WARRANT HOLDERS. Every holder of a Warrant, by his or
her acceptance thereof, consents and agrees with the Corporation and every other
holder of a Warrant that:
(a) the Warrant Registry shall be maintained by the Corporation's
Secretary, and shall be the official register of all Warrants issued to
any person in connection with the Convertible Debenture. The Warrant
Registry shall be dispositive as to the issuance, ownership, transfer
and other aspects of each Warrant issued by the Corporation which are
recorded therein and, absent manifest error, such records shall control
for all purposes;
(b) the Warrants are transferable only on the Warrant Registry by the
Holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing
and only if the Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants are
surrendered at the Corporate Office of the Corporation, duly endorsed
or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer satisfactory to the
Corporation in its sole discretion, together with payment of the amount
of any applicable transfer taxes; and
(c) the Corporation may deem and treat the person in whose name the
Warrant Certificate is registered on the Warrant Registry as the Holder
and as the absolute, true and lawful owner of the Warrants represented
thereby for all purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by
any notice or knowledge to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Warrant Certificate.

SECTION 11. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE. This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California
applicable to the performance and enforcement of contracts made within such
State, without giving effect to the law of conflicts of laws applied thereby. In
the event that any dispute shall occur between the parties arising out of or

of this Warrant Certificate, the parties hereby agree to accept the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of California sitting in and for the
County of Orange.
SECTION 12. ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING. This Warrant Certificate contains the entire

be bound by any representations, warranties, covenants, or other understandings
relating to such subject matter, other than as expressly provided for or

SECTION 13. CASHLESS EXERCISE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of paying

shall have the right to exercise this Warrant or any portion of this Warrant
into Warrant Shares by a cashless exercise by executing and delivering to the
Company at its principal office a written Notice of Exercise in the form
attached to this Warrant marked "CASHLESS EXERCISE". The number of Warrant
Shares to be issued to Holder upon such conversion shall be computed using the
following formula:
OMNIBUS AMENDMENT
March 28, 2008
Page 17 of 22
X = ((P)(Y)(A-B))/A
where
X = the number of Warrant Shares of Common Stock to be
issued to the Holder for the portion of the Warrant
being converted.
P = the portion of the Warrant being converted expressed as
a decimal fraction.
Y = the total number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant in full.
A = the market price of a share of Common Stock for the
date of exercise (the market price determined, for any
date, as the average of the closing prices of the
Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or
automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock
may then be listed for public trading for the five
immediately preceding trading days on such exchange).
B = the then current Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date
of such calculation).
