time or from time to time, from and after the Effective Date and on or before

such calculation)
|
|
(X)
|
=
|
the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a
portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant
being canceled (at the date of such
calculation)
|
If the
Holder elects to exchange this Warrant as provided in this Section 2.2, the
Holder shall tender the Warrant for the amount being exchanged, along with the
Notice of Exercise, duly executed by the Holder, to the Company at its then
principal office, and the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares
of the Warrant Shares computed using the formula above.
2.3 Stock Certificates;
Fractional Shares. As soon as practicable on or after any date
of exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall issue
and deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of whole
shares of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu
of any fraction of a share equal to such fraction of the current Fair Market
Value of one whole share of Warrant Shares as of the date of exercise of this
Warrant. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares
shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant.
2.4 Partial Exercise; Effective
Date of Exercise. In case of any partial exercise of this
Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon surrender hereof and shall
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the
shares of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. 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. Holder shall be
treated for all purposes as the holder of record of the Warrant Shares to which
it is entitled upon exercise of this Warrant as of the close of business on the
date the Holder is deemed to have exercised this Warrant.
2.5 Exercise Price
Adjustment. The Exercise Price in effect at any time and the
number of Warrant Shares purchased upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time only upon the happening of the following
events:
(a) Stock Dividend, Subdivision
and Combination. In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make
a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in
effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of
the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be
adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action and the denominator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving
effect to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any
event listed above shall occur.
-3-
(b) Adjustment in Number of
Securities. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 2.5, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the
exercise at the adjusted Exercise Price of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the
nearest number of whole shares of Common Stock by multiplying a number equal to
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to
such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise
Price.
(c) Notice of Adjustment.
Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 2.5,
the Company shall provide notice of such adjustment to the holder of this
Warrant together with a statement, certified by the chief financial officer of
the Company, showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the
Exercise Price that shall be in effect after such
adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no adjustment
in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require a
change in the Exercise Price of at least one cent ($0.01); provided, however,
that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 2.5(c) are not required to
be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment.
3. Valid Issuance;
Taxes. All shares of Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; provided
that Holder shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be
imposed in respect of the issue or delivery thereof. The Company
shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with
any transfer involved in the issuance of any certificate for shares of Warrant
Shares in any name other than that of the Holder, and in such case the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate or security
until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the
Company's satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.
4. Loss or
Mutilation. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the
Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant, and of indemnity satisfactory to it, and (in the case of
mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall
execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as the lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
5. Reservation of Warrant
Shares. The Company hereby covenants that at all times there
shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such
number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company
as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time
to time as necessary, will take all steps necessary to amend its certificate of
incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares shall be duly
authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests,
charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all
preemptive rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or
state securities laws. Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full
authority to the Company's officers who are charged with the duty of executing
stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
6. Restrictions On
Transfer. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that,
absent an effective registration statement filed with the SEC under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), covering the
disposition or sale of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be,
and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, such
Holder shall not Transfer any or all of this Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the
case may be, unless the Company has received a written opinion of counsel, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that no such registration is
required and that the transfer will not otherwise violate the Securities Act,
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or applicable state securities
laws.
-4-
7. Notice. All notices
and other communications from the Company to the Holder shall be sent to the
Holder at the address for such Holder set forth on the Company's books and
records.
8. Headings; Section

convenience in reference only, and shall not be deemed to constitute a part
hereof. All Section references herein are references to Sections of
this Warrant unless specified otherwise.

Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of California without regard to the conflict of laws
provisions. The parties agree that the California Superior Court
located in the County of San Diego, State of California shall have exclusive

shall be entitled to recover all of his or its costs and expenses relating to
such issue (including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and
disbursements) in addition to any other relief to which such party may be
entitled.
10. Severability. If
any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Warrant is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of
the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Warrant shall remain
in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated.

the convenience of the parties, any number of counterparts of this Warrant may
