NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of past service and of the
mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein,
this is to certify that:
1. The undersigned or its permitted and registered assigns ("Holder"), is
entitled to purchase from time to time, subject to the provisions and
conditions herein, not later than the termination of the Exercise

herein, and upon such purchase to receive a certificate or certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of
Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant may be
adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth.
2. DEFINED TERMS. As used in this Warrant, the following capitalized terms
shall have the meanings respectively assigned to them below, which
meanings shall be applicable equally to the singular and plural forms
of the terms so defined.
(a) "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or other
day on which commercial banks in the State of Washington are authorized
or required by law to close.
(b) "EXERCISE PERIOD" means the period commencing on the date of this
Warrant and terminating at 5:00 p.m., Tacoma, Washington time, on
January 31, 2009, 2004 or, in the event that January 31, 2009 is not a
Business Day, the Business Day next following.
(c) "EXERCISE PRICE" shall mean a strike price of $0.0095 per share.
(d) "HOLDER" shall mean the Person(s) then registered as the owner of the
Warrant or Warrant Securities, as the case may be, on the books and
records of the Company.
(e) "PERSON" shall mean any natural person, corporation, limited
partnership, limited liability company, general partnership, joint
venture, association, company, or other organization, whether or not a
legal entity, and any government agency or political subdivision
thereof.
(f) "WARRANT SECURITIES" shall mean the shares of Common Stock (or other
securities) of the Company purchasable or purchased from time to time
under this Warrant or acquired upon any transfer of any such shares,
together with all additional securities received in payment of
dividends or distributions on or splits of those securities or received
as a result of the adjustments provided for in PARAGRAPH 6 hereof.
3. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions
and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised from time to time
in whole or in part during the term of this Warrant as set forth in
PARAGRAPH 5 hereof.
4. TERM OF WARRANT. The term of this Warrant shall commence on the date
hereof and shall expire on the exercise in full of this Warrant by
Holder or at 5:00 p.m. Tacoma, Washington time on the expiration of the
Exercise Period.
5. MANNER OF EXERCISE. Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in
part in accordance with the terms hereof by mailing or personally
delivering to the Company (i) this Warrant, (ii) a Notice of Exercise
in the form of EXHIBIT I hereto duly executed by Xxxxxx and (iii)
payment of the Exercise Price per share, such payment to be in the form
of: (a) cash, a certified or official bank check made payable to the
Company, or a wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the
Company, or any combination of the foregoing, together with all federal
and state excise taxes applicable upon such exercise; (b) by crediting
amounts due and owing to the Holder by the Company for professional
services previously rendered by the Holder as of the date of each
exercise of the Warrant by Xxxxxx as provided for herein. . Upon
receipt by the Company of this Warrant, the Notice of Exercise and such
payment, this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised with
respect to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such
exercise and specified in the Notice of Exercise, and Holder shall
thereupon become the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding the fact that the stock
transfer books of the Company may then be closed or that certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually
delivered to Holder. As soon as practicable after any exercise, in
whole or in part, of the Warrant, and in any event within ten (10)
Business Days thereafter, the Company will deliver to Holder a stock
certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock so
purchased, with such certificate or certificates to be in such name(s)
and such denominations as Holder may specify in the Notice of Exercise.
If this Warrant is exercised for less than all of the shares of Common
Stock subject hereto, the Company shall, upon such exercise and
surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, promptly execute and
deliver to Holder a new Warrant of like tenor evidencing the right of
Holder to purchase the balance of shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder.
6. ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS.
(a) If the Company shall, during the term hereof, (i)
declare a dividend and make a distribution on the Common Stock payable in shares
of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or combine its outstanding shares of Common
Stock, (iii) change the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant by reclassification, exchange or substitution, or (iv)
reorganize the capital structure of the Company by merger, reorganization,
consolidation or sale of assets, then this Warrant shall, after the happening of
any such event, evidence the right to purchase the number of shares of Common
Stock or other securities that would have been received as a result of that
change with respect to the shares of Common Stock as if such shares had been
purchased under this Warrant immediately before occurrence of such event. Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall
occur. Any adjustment under this subparagraph (a) shall become effective at the
close of business on the date any such event occurs (the "Adjustment Date").
(b) If, during the term of this Warrant, the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (a)
above, then the Exercise Price per share to be in effect after such Adjustment
Date shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price per share in effect
immediately prior to such Adjustment Date by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the closing of
business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Adjustment Date and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (or the
equivalent amount of other securities) outstanding at the opening of business on
the first Business Day after the Adjustment Date.
(c) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. The Company shall give notice
of each adjustment or
readjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to Holder or of the Exercise Price per
share at the address set forth in PARAGRAPH 17 hereof.
7. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in connection with
the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay, in lieu of any
fractional share, a cash payment on the basis of the Exercise Price per
share of the Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to such exercise for
such fractional share.
8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The undersigned represents and warrants that
this Warrant, and the Warrant Securities acquired pursuant to the
exercise of this Warrant, are being purchased for his investment
account without a view towards the resale or distribution thereof in
violation of applicable securities laws. It is understood that in case
of subsequent sale of such Warrant or the Warrant Securities under
certain circumstances, such sale might be deemed to constitute a public
distribution within the meaning of, and require registration under, the
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
(a) The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that unless and until the
Warrant and the Warrant Securities are registered under the Act, this
Warrant and the Warrant Securities shall be "restricted securities" for
purposes of Rule 144 under the Act. The undersigned shall, prior to any
transfer or disposition or attempted transfer or disposition of the
Warrant or the Warrant Securities give written notice to the Company of
his intention to effect such transfer or disposition and shall deliver
to the Company an opinion of legal counsel (such counsel and opinion to
be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) that the proposed transfer
or disposition of the Warrant or the Warrant Securities may be effected
without registration thereof under the Act and without taking any
similar action under any other applicable securities laws, in which
case the undersigned shall be entitled to transfer or dispose of the
Warrant or the Warrant Securities, as applicable, in accordance with
the terms of the notice delivered by such Holder to the Company. Until
the Warrant Securities are registered under the Act, each certificate
evidencing the Warrant Securities so transferred or disposed of (and
each certificate evidencing any untransferred Warrant Securities) shall
bear the following restrictive legend unless in the opinion of Company
counsel such legend is not required:
"The shares represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act") or any state securities laws. These shares may not be
offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act
or pursuant to an opinion of counsel delivered to the Company
that an exemption from such registration is available for such
sale and transfer."
(b) Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the
Company may treat the registered holder thereof as the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(c) The undersigned understands and acknowledges that: (i) while the
Company has an operating history, the Warrant and the Warrant
Securities involve a high degree of risk of loss of the entire
investment, and there is no assurance of any income from such
investment; (ii) the Holder must bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Securities for an indefinite
period because the offer and sale of the Warrant and the Warrant
Securities have not been registered under the Act or any state
securities laws and are being offered and sold in reliance upon
exemptions provided under the Act and state securities laws for
transactions not involving any public offering and, therefore, cannot
be resold or transferred unless they are subsequently registered under
the Act and applicable state laws, or unless an exemption from such
registration is available; (iii) there may not be a public market for
the Warrant or the Warrant Securities in the future; (iv) the Holder is
purchasing the Warrant and the Warrant Securities for investment
purposes only for the Holder's account and not for the benefit of any
other person or with any view toward the resale or distribution
thereof; and (v) the Holder has no contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to such person
or anyone else the Warrant or any of the Warrant Securities which the
Holder is hereby purchasing or any part thereof, and the Holder has no
present plans to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement
or arrangement.
9. STOCK TO BE DELIVERED UPON EXERCISE. The Company will at all times keep
available through the term of the Exercise Period, solely for delivery
upon the exercise of this Warrant, such number of the shares of Common
Stock or other securities as shall from time to time be sufficient to
effect the exercise of this Warrant.
10. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any
such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the
Company will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new warrant of
like tenor to Holder.
11. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law
available to the holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or
threatened default by it in the performance of or compliance with any
of the terms of the Agreement are not and will not be adequate, and
that such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the
specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an
injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
12. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, WITHOUT GIVING
EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CHOICE OF LAWS OF SUCH STATE.
13. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Warrant constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
any and all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof. This Warrant and any of the terms hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought.
14. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Company and the undersigned and their respective
successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, nothing herein
shall be construed to permit assignment of the Warrant except in
accordance with the provisions herein.
15. SEVERABILITY. Every provision of this Warrant is intended to be
severable. If any term or provision hereof (or portion thereof) is
determined to be illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever,
such illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or
provision (or portion thereof) of this Warrant.
16. 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, at the following address or at such
other address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by
such holder, or, until an address is so furnished, to the address of
the last holder of such Warrant who has so furnished an address to the
