DURATION AND EXERCISE OR CONVERSION OF WARRANT
SECTION 2.01. This Warrant may be exercised or converted at any time
before 5:00 P.M., California time, on the Expiration Date. If this Warrant is
not exercised or converted at or before 5:00 P.M., California time, on the
Expiration Date, it will become void, and all rights under this Warrant will
cease at that time.
SECTION 2.02. (1) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or part by the
Warrant Holder by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a duly
executed copy of the Notice of Exercise or Conversion attached hereto as
EXHIBIT A, at the principal office of the Company, accompanied by payment of
the Purchase Price for the number of Warrant Shares for which purchase
rights hereunder are being exercised. This Warrant shall be deemed to have
been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its
surrender for exercise as provided above and the person entitled to receive
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for
all
2
purposes as the holder of such shares of record as of the close of business
on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such date, the Company
shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same
a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a
share as provided above.
(2) In lieu of exercising this Warrant or any portion hereof; the
Warrant Holder shall have the right to convert this Warrant or any portion
hereof into shares of Common Stock without payment of additional consideration
by executing and delivering to the Company at its principal office this Warrant
and the Notice of Exercise or Conversion attached hereto as EXHIBIT A,
specifying the portion of the Warrant to be converted. The number of Warrant
Shares to be issued upon such conversion shall be computed using the
following formula:
X = (P)(Y)(A-B)/A

holder for the portion of the Warrant being converted.
P = the portion of the Warrant being converted.
Y = the total number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant in full.
A = the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as
determined by the average of the closing ask price and bid
price for the Company's Common Stock on the most recent date
upon which the Company's Stock was traded or if no trade
occurred in the previous thirty days, as determined in good
faith by the Company's Board of Directors, and
B = the Purchase Price on the date of receipt by the Company of
the notice of conversion.
The portion of this Warrant represented by the variable "P" above shall be
immediately cancelled.
(3) In the event the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant are
exercised or converted in whole or in part, one or more certificates for the
purchased shares shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter to the
person exercising or converting such rights. Such person shall also be issued
at such time a new Warrant representing the number of shares (if any) for
which the purchase rights under this Warrant remain unexercised or
unconverted and in continuing force and effect.

NUMBER OF SHARES OR NUMBER OF WARRANTS
SECTION 1.01. The Purchase Price, the number and type of securities
issuable on exercise of this Warrant and the number of Warrants outstanding,
are subject to adjustment as follows:
If the Company (i) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its
Common Stock in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides or reclassifies the
outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a greater number of shares,
or (ii) combines or reclassifies the outstanding shares of its Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, at the close of business on the
record date for that corporate action the Purchase Price will be
proportionately reduced or increased.
SECTION 3.02. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of
calculations made in Section 3.01 above this Warrant will after such
adjustment evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price,
the number of Warrant Shares obtained by (i) multiplying (A) the number of
Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the
adjustment by (B) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the
adjustment and (ii) dividing the resulting product by the Purchase Price in
effect immediately after the adjustment. However, the Company will not be
required to issue a fractional share or to make any payment in lieu of
issuing a fractional share.
SECTION 3.03. Whenever the Purchase Price or the number of shares or
type of securities issuable on exercise of this Warrant is adjusted as
provided in this Article III the Company (i) will compute the adjusted
Purchase Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares and (ii) will
prepare a certificate signed by its Chairman, President, Vice President,
Treasurer or Secretary setting forth the adjusted Purchase Price and the
adjusted number of Warrant Shares and showing in reasonable detail the facts
upon which the adjustments were based, and (ii) will mail a copy of that
certificate to the Warrant Holder.
SECTION 3.04. If at any time when this Warrant is outstanding the Company
(a) declares a dividend (or authorizes any other distribution) on
its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its undistributed net
income:
(b) authorizes the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of
rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Common Stock, or other
equity securities, or other assets:
4
(c) authorizes a reclassification of its Common Stock (other than a
subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock), or a
consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, or a sale or
transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company; or
(d) authorizes as voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company,
the Company will mail to the Warrant Holder at least 20 days (or 10 days in
an instance specified in clause (a) or (b)) prior notice of the record date,
or other date, for determining the shareholders entitled to receive the
dividend, distribution or rights, or the securities or other property
deliverable as a result of the reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
SECTION 3.05. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of
any changes in the Purchase Price or in the number of Warrant Shares and
Warrants issued after that change may continue to describe the Purchase Price
and the number of Warrant Shares which were described in this Warrant as
initially issued.
