Section 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 6, 2009, ZAP (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Agreement”)with Cathaya Capital, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Investor purchased 20 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $0.25 per share (the “Shares”)for an aggregate purchase price of $5 million. A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On August 6, 2009, the Company also entered into a secured loan facility with the Investor pursuant to a Secured Convertible Promissory Note(the “Note”).  The Note provides for an aggregate principal amount of up to $10 million in advances to be made to the Company by the Investor prior to October 1, 2012.  The aggregate principal amount of the advances made under the Note accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) five percent (5%) and (ii) three percent (3%) plus prime.  The aggregate principal amount of each advance made under the Note plus interest becomes due and payable to the Investor on the earlier of (i) the two year anniversary of the date such advance was made and (ii) December 31, 2012.  The Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion rate, subject to any adjustments called for by the terms of the Note, of 2,000 shares of Common Stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the Note being converted. A copy of the Note is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Note is secured by the terms and conditions of a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) covering all of the Company’s assets other than those assets specifically excluded from the lien created by the Security Agreement. A copy of the Security Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition to the sale of the Shares and the Note, the Company issued two warrants (the “Warrants”)to the Investor that are exercisable for shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The first warrant is exercisable for 10 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  The number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that the second warrant is exercisable for is dependent on the aggregate principal amount of the advances made under the Note.  The maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that the second warrant could be exercisable for is 6 million shares at a price of $0.50 per

SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE DUE 2012

No. 1  $10,000,000.00 

ZAP, a California corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cathaya Capital, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, or its registered assigns, the principal sum of TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00), or if less the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances made hereunder, on December 31, 2012 (or if earlier the date the Advances are declared or become automatically due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default), (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon, from the date of each Advance is made, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid, monthly on the first Business Day of each month (the “Interest Payment Date”), commencing September 1, 2009, at the Interest Rate until the principal hereof is paid and in the manner set forth below.

Payment of the principal of this Note shall be made upon the surrender of this Note to the Company, at its chief executive office (or such other office within the United States as shall be designated by the Company to the holder hereof) (the “Designated Office”), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.  Payment of interest in cashand all other amounts payable in cash with respect to this Note shall be made by wire transfer to the Holder, provided that if the Holder shall not have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Company on or prior to the third Business Day

immediately prior to the date on which the Company makes such payment, such payment may be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Company security register.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings given to those terms in Section 7 hereof.

Interest on this Note shall be paid in cash, or at the Company’s option upon written notice to the Holder given 20 Trading Days prior to the Interest Payment Date, in shares of Common Stock; provided that the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered shall be equal to the quotient of (x) the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date divided by (y) the Stock Price. Such shares shall be delivered to the Holder on the Interest Payment Date.

1.Advances.  Subject to clause (b) below including the other terms and conditions set forth herein, the Holder shall make loans (the “Advances”) to the Company from time to time up to prior to October 1, 2012 in an aggregate amount not to exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000); provided that (x) no Advances shall be made prior to November 2, 2009, (y) up to $5,000,000 of Advances may be made on or after November 2, 2009 (“Facility A”), and (z) an additional $5,000,000 of Advances may be made after (i) Advances in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 under Facility A have been made and (ii) on or after February 6, 2010 (“Facility B”).  The Company may not reborrow prepaid, repaid or converted Advances.

(a)           The Company may request an Advance by furnishing a written notice (the “Notice of Borrowing”) to the Holder specifying (i) the principal amount of the requested Advance (which shall be not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof), (ii) the intended use of proceeds of the requested Advance, which intended use must be in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, (iii) the account to which the Holder is to disburse the proceeds of the requested Advance, (iv) the date the requested Advance is to be made, which must be a Business Day, and (v) that the conditions set forth in clause (b) are satisfied in respect of such Advance.  A Notice of Borrowing must be given at least ten (10) Business Days before the date the requested Advance is to be made.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company.  If the Company fails to satisfy the conditions to the Advance set forth in clause (b) below, the Company shall indemnify the Holder against any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Holder due to the liquidation or reemployment of the funds acquired by the Holder to fund the Advance.

(b)           The Holder shall make the requested Advance if (i) after giving effect to the Advance, no Default or Event of Default has occurred or would occur as a result of such Advance, (ii) after giving effect to the Advance, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances made hereunder do not exceed $5,000,000 if such Advance is made prior to February 6, 2010 or $10,000,000 if such Advance is made on or after February 6, 2010, (iii) the representations and warranties of the Company in the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be true and correct, except to the extent such representation and warranty relates solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, (iv) there

- 2 -

shall not have occurred any event or condition of any character that has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company since the date of this Note, (v) with respect to an Advance under each of Facility A and Facility B, the Company shall have delivered to the Holder true and complete copies of firm purchase orders with respect to which the Advance is being made and such purchase orders must be with creditworthy purchasers and otherwise on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Holder (any such purchase against which an Advance is made, an “Approved Purchase Order”), (vi) the Company and the Holder shall have entered into the arrangements contemplated by Section 4.21 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (vii) the Company has delivered to the Holder any other documents reasonably requested by the Holder and (viii) solely with respect to an Advance requested under Facility B, the Company shall have delivered to the Holder evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Holder that the Promissory Note dated July 30, 2008 made by the Company in favor of Al Yousuf LLC has been paid in full and terminated and all Liens granted by the Company in connection therewith have been released.

(c)           With respect to any Approved Purchase Order, the principal amount of the Advance shall be 115% of the face amount of such Approved Purchase Order.

(d)           If the Holder shall fail to make any Advance for which a Notice of Borrowing has been properly delivered and all conditions set forth in Section 1(b) hereof have been satisfied, then the sole remedy of Company for the failure of the Holder to make such Advance shall be that the number of shares for which the Second Warrant (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) is exercisable shall not increase.

(e)           If, the first time a Notice of Borrowing has been properly delivered and all conditions set forth in Section 1(b) hereof have been satisfied, the Holder shall fail to make an Advance under Facility A within thirty (30) days of the delivery of such Notice of Borrowing and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1(b), then this Note and the Security Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.  If the Holder has made the first Advance under Facility A and the Holder shall fail to make an Advance under Facility A for which a Notice of Borrowing has been properly delivered and all conditions set forth in Section 1(b) hereof have been satisfied within thirty (30) days of the delivery of such Notice of Borrowing and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1(b), then the Company shall be entitled to incur Indebtedness to a third party pursuant to clause (d) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness and, if requested by the Company, the Holder will enter into intercreditor arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Holder to reflect the pari passu nature of such Indebtedness.

2.Payments; Prepayment.

(a)           The Company shall repay the principal amount of each Advance, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the earlier of the date that is two years after the date such Advance is made (or the immediately preceding business day if such date is not a business day) and the Maturity Date.

- 3 -

(b)           Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Holder, the Company may prepay this Note in whole or in part; provided that: any such prepayment will be applied first to the payment of expenses due under this Note, second to interest accrued on this Note and third, if the amount of prepayment exceeds the amount of all such expenses and accrued interest, to the payment of principal of this Note.

3.Conversion.

(a)(1) The holder of this Note is entitled at any time and from time to time before the close of business on December 31, 2012 (or, in case the Company has given notice of prepayment on this Note or the Holder hereof has exercised its right to require the Company to repurchase this Note or a portion hereof pursuant to Section 4 hereof, then in respect of this Note or such portion hereof, as the case may be, until and including, but (unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon prepayment or repurchase) not after, 5:00 p.m., California time, on the Business Day prior to the prepayment date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be), to convert this Note (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000), into fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of the Company at the rate (or at the then current adjusted rate if an adjustment has been made as provided below) of 2,000 shares of Common Stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the Note (such number of shares of Common Stock issuable for each $1,000 principal amount of the Note, which shall initially be 2,000, the “Conversion Rate”) by surrender of this Note, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank to the Company at the Designated Office, accompanied by written notice to the Company that the Holder hereof elects to convert this Note (or if less than the entire principal amount hereof is to be converted, specifying the portion hereof to be converted).  The term “Conversion Price” on any day shall equal $1,000 divided by the Conversion Rate in effect on such day.

(2)           In the event that the conversion of this Note into shares of Common Stock would require the Company and the Holder of this Note to file notification and report forms with the Federal Trade Commission and Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “FTC”) pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), then the Holder of this Note and the Company agree (i) to use their best efforts to complete all applicable filings and provide all necessary information as required pursuant to the HSR Act, and (ii) such conversion of this Note into shares of Common Stock shall not occur until such time as the required filings are made pursuant to the HSR Act and the required waiting periods have passed or early termination notifications have been granted by the FTC.

The Company shall, if the Holder so elects, deliver the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note to any third party designated by the Holder, subject to compliance with Sections 3(f) and 8(c) – (g) hereof.

(b)The Conversion Rate will be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

- 4 -

(1)If the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the Determination Date for such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Determination Date and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares of Common Stock and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following such Determination Date.

(2)If the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 3(b)) of the Common Stock on the Determination Date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following such Determination Date shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Determination Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible) for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Determination Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible) for subscription or purchase, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following such Determination Date.  The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.  Upon the expiration of any right, option or warrant to purchase Common Stock the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this paragraph (2) of Section 3(b), if any such right, option or warrant shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Rate shall immediately upon such expiration be recomputed to the Conversion Rate which would have been in effect had the adjustment of the Conversion Rate made upon the issuance of such right, option or warrant been made on the basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such right, option and warrant actually exercised.

(3)If the outstanding Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced.  Any such increase or reduction, as the case may be, shall become effective immediately

- 5 -

after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(4)If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock, or other property (including securities, but excluding (i) any rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section 3(b), (ii) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash, (iii) any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section 3(b) and (iv) any merger or consolidation to which Section 3(h) applies (the “Distributed Property”)), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Determination Date for such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 3(b)) of the Common Stock on such Determination Date less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (4) of Section 3(b)) on the Determination Date of the portion of the assets, shares or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Determination Date) and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Determination Date; provided, however, that if the Distributed Property consists of shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary, the Company may, at its option and in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, elect to make adequate provision so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of such shares of capital stock that the Holder would have received if the Holder had converted such Note on the record date.  If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities constituting such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the current market price per share pursuant to paragraph (8) of this Section 3(b).

If the Company should adopt a shareholder rights plan (a “Rights Plan”), upon conversion of this Note into Common Stock, the holder of this Note will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights described therein (whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion), subject to the limitations set forth in the Rights Plan.  Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to the Rights Plan in compliance with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to this Section 3(b).

Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):  (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also

- 6 -

issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 3(b) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 3(b) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 3(b).  If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the original issue date of this Note, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof).  In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section was made, (x) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (y) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

(5)In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (4) of Section 3(b) or a merger or consolidation to which Section 3(h) applies), immediately after the close of business on such Determination Date, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date minus the amount of such cash dividend or distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Determination Date) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date.

(6)           In case of a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer or exchange (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate

- 7 -

consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a board resolution), of the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (7) of this Section 3(b)) as of the last time tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the current market price per share of Common Stock on the date of the Expiration Time multiplied by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the date of the Expiration Time less (B) the combined tender and cash amount, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the current market price per share of the Common Stock as of the Expiration Time multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to and any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”).

(7)If and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3(b)(7) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Security) for a consideration per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to either (i) in the case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock, the lesser of $0.25 per share or the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or (ii) in the case of the issuance or sale of Options or other Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Applicable Price and the Conversion Rate shall be increased to an amount equal to $1,000 divided by such new Conversion Price.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Rate under this Section 3(b)(7), the following shall be applicable:

(A)           If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share.  For purposes of this Section 3(b)(7)(A) the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of

- 8 -

consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.  No further adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

(B)           If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.  For the purposes of this Section 3(7)(B), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security.  No further adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Rate had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3(b)(7), no further adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(C)           If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Rate in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.  For purposes of this Section 3(b)(7)(C), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Note are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change.  No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate then in effect.

(D)           In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued

- 9 -

or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Price of such securities on the date of receipt.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be.  The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company within five (5) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation.  If the Holder disagrees with the determination of the Board of Directors and gives written notice of such disagreement to the Company within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder.  The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in exchange for the extinguishment of any invoice, account payable, loan, advance, debt, liability or obligation denominated in U.S. dollars or any other currency, then the consideration received by the Company will be deemed to be the U.S. dollar amount of such extinguished invoice, account payable, loan, advance, debt, liability or obligation.

(E)           If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(F)           No adjustment shall be made under this paragraph (7) with respect to matters or events for which the Conversion Rate adjusts pursuant to paragraphs (1), (3), (5) and (6) of this Section 3(b).  In the event that an event would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under both paragraph (2) or (4) of this Section 3(b) and this paragraph (7), an adjustment shall be made under only such applicable paragraph that results in the lowest Conversion Rate.

(8)For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (2), (4), (5) or (6) of this Section 3(b), the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be calculated by the Company and be deemed to be the average of the

- 10 -

daily Closing Prices for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days commencing ten (10) Trading Days before the earlier of (i) the day in question and (ii) the day before the “ex” date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation.  For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex date”, when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way in the applicable securities market or on the applicable securities exchange without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.

(9)No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this paragraph (8)) would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in such rate; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (8) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

(10)The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, for the remaining term of the Note or any shorter term, in addition to those required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of this Section 3(b) as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

(11)For purposes of this Section 3(b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.  The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(c)Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as provided in Section 3(b), the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 3(b) and shall prepare a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and shall promptly deliver such certificate to the Holder.

(d)In case:

(1)the Company shall declare a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock that would require any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(b); or

(2)the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(3)of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, or of any consolidation, merger or share exchange to which the Company is a

- 11 -

party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or

(5)the Company or any Subsidiary shall commence a tender offer for all or a portion of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (or shall amend any such tender offer);

then the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder, at least twenty (20) days (or ten (10) days in any case specified in clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record, expiration or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants are to be determined, (y) the date on which the right to make tenders under such tender offer expires or (z) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.  Neither the failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in clauses (1) through (5) of this Section 3(d).

(e)The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Note, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of this Note.

(f)Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Common Stock on conversion of the Note.  The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of this Note, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.

(g)The Company agrees that all Common Stock which may be delivered upon conversion of the Note, upon such delivery, will have been duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable (and shall be issued out of the Company’s authorized but unissued Common Stock) and, except as provided in Section 3(f), the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

- 12 -

(h)In case of any recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock or other change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination covered by paragraph (3) of this Section 3(b)), or any consolidation of the Company with any other Person, any merger of the Company into another Person or of another Person into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in a reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of the outstanding Common Stock), or any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company (collectively, a “Capital Reorganization”), in each case as a result of which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property, assets or cash (or any combination thereof) (collectively, “Reference Property”) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Company or the Person formed by such Capital Reorganization, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Holder of this Note a supplemental agreement providing that such Holder has the right thereafter, during the period this Note shall be convertible as specified in Section 3(a), to convert this Note only into the kind and amount of Reference Property receivable upon such Capital Reorganization by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which this Note might have been converted immediately prior to such Capital Reorganization, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not a Person with which the Company consolidated, into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Capital Reorganization.  In the event holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in a recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, assignment, conveyance or other transfer, the Company will make adequate provision whereby the Holder shall have the opportunity, on a timely basis, to determine the form of Reference Property into which this Note shall be convertible.  The Company shall not become party to any such recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger combination, sale, lease, assignment, conveyance or other transfer unless the terms of such transaction are consistent with the foregoing.  Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental agreement, shall be equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3.  The above provisions of this Section 3(h) shall similarly apply to successive Capital Reorganizations.  If this Section 3(h) applies to any event or occurrence, then the other provisions of Section 3(b) shall not apply.

(i)No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.  If any fractional share of stock otherwise would be issuable upon the conversion of this Note, the Company may elect to make an adjustment therefore in cash based upon the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day prior to the date of conversion, or in lieu of making such cash payment, the Company may elect to round up to the next whole share the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon conversion.

- 13 -

(j)The Company (i) will effect all registrations with, and obtain all approvals by, all governmental authorities that may be necessary under any United States Federal or state law (including the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and state securities and Blue Sky laws) for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note to be lawfully issued and delivered as provided herein, and thereafter publicly traded (if permissible under the Securities Act) and qualified or listed as contemplated by clause (ii) (it being understood that the Company shall not be required to register the offer, sale or resale of Common Stock issuable on conversion hereof under the Securities Act except pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement); and (ii) if required, will list the Common Stock required to be issued and delivered upon conversion of the Note, prior to such issuance or delivery, on each national securities exchange on which outstanding Common Stock is listed or quoted at the time of such delivery, or if the Common Stock is not then listed on any securities exchange, to qualify the Common Stock for quotation on the Nasdaq Stock Market or such other inter-dealer quotation system (including, without limitation, the OTC Bulletin Board), if any, on which the Common Stock is then quoted.

4.Right to Require Repurchase.

(a)In the event that a Change in Control shall occur, then the Holder of this Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase, and upon the exercise of such right the Company shall repurchase, this Note, or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof, on the date (the “Repurchase Date”) such Change of Control occurs, at a purchase price equal to the Repurchase Price (as hereinafter defined).  The Company agrees to give the Holder, in the manner provided in Section 8(b), of any Change in Control, promptly and in any event within ten (10) Trading Days prior to the occurrence thereof.

(c)In the event a repurchase right shall be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Holder the Repurchase Price in cash on the Repurchase Date in the manner set forth in the introductory paragraph to this Note.

(c)Litigation and Other Proceedings.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right but not the obligation to bring suit or institute proceedings in the name of Debtor or Secured Party to enforce any rights in the Collateral, in which event Debtor shall at the request of Secured Party do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents reasonably required by Secured Party in aid of such enforcement.  If Secured Party elects not to bring suit to enforce any right under the Collateral, Debtor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to cause to cease any infringement of any right under the Collateral by any Person and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing necessary to prevent such infringement.

ZAP

Dated as of August 6, 2009

Void after the date specified in Section 8

Warrant to Purchase

10,000,000 Shares of

Common Stock

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Cathaya Capital, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, to purchase from ZAP, a California corporation (the “Company”), shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”), in the amounts, at such times and at the price per share set forth in Section 1. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein. This Warrant is issued in connection with the transactions described in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company and the Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”).  This is the warrant defined in the Purchase Agreement as the “First Warrant.”

The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the conditions to which this Warrant is subject, and to which Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees:

1.Number and Price of Shares; Exercise Period.

(a)Number of Shares. Subject to any previous exercise of the Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to purchase the number of Shares that equals the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Warrant Coverage Amount (as defined below) by (y) the Exercise Price (as defined below), prior to (or in connection with) the expiration of this Warrant as provided in Section 8.

(b)Warrant Coverage Amount. The “Warrant Coverage Amount” shall be equal to five million dollars ($5,000,000.00).

(c)Exercise Price.  The exercise price per Share shall initially be equal to $0.50, subject to adjustment pursuant hereto (the “Exercise Price”).

(d)Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time prior to (or in connection with) the expiration of this Warrant as set forth in Section 8.

2.Exercise of the Warrant.

(a)Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised at the election of the Holder, in whole or in part, in accordance with Section 1, by:

(i)the tender to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) of a notice of exercise in the form of Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly completed and executed by or on behalf of the Holder, together with the surrender of this Warrant; and

(ii)the payment to the Company of an amount equal to (x) the Exercise Price multiplied by (y) the number of Shares being purchased, by (a) wire transfer or certified, cashier’s or other check acceptable to the Company and payable to the order of the Company; (b) surrender and cancellation of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of the Company to the Holder; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b).

(b)Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), if the fair market value of one Share is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Holder may elect to receive a number of Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) together with a properly completed and executed Notice of Exercise reflecting such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of Shares computed using the following formula:

X	=	Y (A – B)
		A

Where:

X	=	The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder
Y	=	The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)
A	=	The fair market value of one Share (at the date of such calculation)
B	=	The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

For purposes of the calculation above, the fair market value of one Share shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), acting in good faith; provided, however, that where a public market

- 2 -

exists for the Common Stock at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per Share shall be the volume weighted average sales price per share of the Common Stock (as reported, absent manifest error, on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTC BB”) or any other internationally recognized exchange or market upon which the Common Stock is then listed) for the ten (10) Trading Day period ending five (5) Trading Days prior to the date of determination of fair market value.

The Holder shall not exercise this Warrant pursuant to this Section 2(b) for more than that number of shares of Common Stock equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrant Coverage Amount divided by the Exercise Price in any six (6) month period.

(c)Stock Certificates. The rights under this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised in accordance with its terms, and the person entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as reasonably practicable on or after such date, and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for that number of shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that the rights under this Warrant are exercised in part and have not expired, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant reflecting the number of Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.

(d)No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant. In lieu of such fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

(e)Conditional Exercise. The Holder may exercise this Warrant conditioned upon (and effective immediately prior to) consummation of any transaction that would cause the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8 by so indicating in the notice of exercise.

(f)Automatic Exercise. If the Holder of this Warrant has not elected to exercise this Warrant prior to expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, then this Warrant shall automatically (without any act on the part of the Holder) be exercised pursuant to Section 2(b) effective immediately prior to the expiration of the Warrant to the extent such net issue exercise would result in the issuance of Shares, unless Holder shall earlier provide written notice to the Company that the Holder desires that this Warrant expire unexercised. If this Warrant is automatically exercised, the Company shall notify the Holder of the automatic exercise as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.

(g)Forced Exercise.  If (i) a registration is demanded by Holder pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among the Holder and the Company, (ii) the volume weighted average sales price per share of the Common Stock (as reported, absent manifest error, on the OTCBB or any other internationally recognized exchange or market upon which the Common Stock is then listed) for the thirty (30) Trading Days prior to the effective date of such registration statement is equal to or greater than $1.00 per share and (iii) the Company delivers a written notice to Holder stating its intent to force the Holder to exercise this Warrant under this Section 2(g) within ten (10) business days of Holder demanding a registration, then, contingent upon such registration statement being declared effective, Holder shall exercise this Warrant for at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrant Coverage Amount divided by the Exercise Price; provided, however, that the Company shall be able to force the Holder to exercise this Warrant under this Section 2(g) one (1) time only.

(h)Reservation of Stock. The Company agrees during the term the rights under this Warrant are exercisable to reserve and keep available from its authorized and unissued shares of common stock solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of the rights under this Warrant; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock shall not be sufficient for purposes of the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with its terms, without limitation of such other remedies as may be available to the Holder, the Company will use its best efforts to take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized and unissued shares of its common stock to a number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Company represents and warrants that all shares that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

4.Transfer of the Warrant.

(a)Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the name and address of the Holder or Holders.

(d)Exchange of the Warrant upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant (and a properly endorsed Assignment Form) for exchange, subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act and limitations on assignments and transfers, the Company shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof, and the Company shall register any such transfer upon the Warrant Register. This Warrant (and the securities issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant) must be surrendered to the Company or its warrant or transfer agent, as applicable, as a condition precedent to the sale, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any interest in any of the securities represented hereby.

- 4 -

(e)Taxes. In no event shall the Company be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

5.Restrictions on Transfer of the Warrant and Shares; Compliance with Securities Laws. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the following:

(a)Restrictions on Transfers. Subject to Section 5(b), this Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without the Company’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), and any attempt by Holder to transfer or assign any rights, duties or obligations that arise under this Warrant without such permission shall be void. Any transfer of this Warrant or the Shares (the “Securities”) must be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Holder agrees not to make any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of all or any portion of the Securities, or any beneficial interest therein, unless and until the transferee thereof has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to take and hold such Securities subject to, and to be bound by, the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant to the same extent as if the transferee were the original Holder hereunder, and

(i)there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement, or

(ii)(A) the Holder shall have given prior written notice to the Company of the Holder’s intention to make such disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed description of the manner and circumstances of the proposed disposition and, with respect to any transfer of this Warrant, except for those dispositions set forth in Section 5(b) below, the Company shall have provided the Holder with prior written approval of such disposition (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (B) if requested by the Company, other than as set forth in Section 5(b) below, the Holder shall have furnished the Company, at the Holder’s expense, with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company (including, if requested by the Company, an opinion of counsel to the Holder) that such disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act.  It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, except in unusual circumstances.

(b)Permitted Transfers. Permitted transfers include (i) a transfer not involving a change in beneficial ownership, or (ii) transactions involving the distribution without consideration of Securities by any Holder to (x) a parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of a Holder that is a corporation, (y) any of the Holder’s partners, members or other equity owners, or retired partners or members, or to the estate of any of its partners, members or other equity owners or retired partners or members, or (z) a venture capital fund that is controlled by or under common control with one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, the Holder; provided, in each case, that the Holder shall give written notice to the Company of the Holder’s intention to effect such disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed description of the manner and circumstances of the proposed disposition.

(c)Securities Law Legend. The Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Warrant) be stamped or imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws):

- 5 -

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS CERTIFICATE MUST BE SURRENDERED TO THE COMPANY OR ITS TRANSFER AGENT AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OF ANY INTEREST IN ANY OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY.

(d)Instructions Regarding Transfer Restrictions. The Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Section 5.

(e)Removal of Legend. The legend referring to federal and state securities laws identified in Section 5(c) stamped on a certificate evidencing the Shares and the stock transfer instructions and record notations with respect to such securities shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such securities if (i) such securities are registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that a sale or transfer of such securities may be made without registration or qualification.

6.Adjustments. Subject to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, the number and kind of shares purchasable hereunder and the Exercise Price therefor are subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows:

(a)Merger or Reorganization. If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Reorganization”) involving the Company (other than as otherwise provided for herein or as would cause the expiration of this Warrant under Section 8) in which shares of the Company’s stock are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(b)Reclassification of Shares. If the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are changed into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes by reclassification, capital reorganization or otherwise (other than as otherwise provided for herein) (a “Reclassification”), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of Shares which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock that a holder of the number of securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such Reclassification, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.

- 6 -

(c)Subdivisions and Combinations. In the event that the outstanding shares of common stock are subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of such securities, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the outstanding shares of common stock are combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of such securities, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.

(d)Dilutive Issuances.  If and whenever on or after the date of issuance of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 6(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Security for a consideration per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to either (i) in the case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock, the lesser of $0.25 per share or the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or (ii) in the case of the issuance or sale of Options or other Convertible Securities, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Applicable Price.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 6(d), the following shall be applicable:

(i)If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share.  For purposes of this Section 6(d)(i) the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.  No further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

(ii)If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.  For the purposes of this Section 6(d)(ii)), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible

- 7 -

Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security.  No further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Exercise Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 6(d), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii)If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.  For purposes of this Section 6(d)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change.

(iv)In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Price of such securities on the date of receipt.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be.  The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company within five (5) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation.  If the Holder disagrees with the determination of the Board of Directors and gives written notice of such disagreement to the Company within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) business days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder.  The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in exchange for the extinguishment of any invoice, account payable, loan, advance, debt, liability or obligation denominated in U.S. dollars or any other currency, then the consideration received by the Company will be deemed to be the U.S. dollar amount of such extinguished invoice, account payable, loan, advance, debt, liability or obligation.

(v)If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock

- 8 -

deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(vi)In the event that an event would result in an adjustment to the Exercise Price under Sections 6(a), 6(b) or 6(c) and also under this Section 6(d) an adjustment shall be made under only such applicable paragraph that results in the lowest Exercise Price.

(e)Notice of Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in accordance with this Section 6, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the event giving rise to the adjustment, the Exercise Price as adjusted and the number of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each. The Company shall, upon the written request of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of securities and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon exercise of this Warrant.

7.Notification of Certain Events. Prior to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, in the event that the Company shall authorize:

The notice provisions set forth in this section may be shortened or waived prospectively or retrospectively by the consent of the Holder of this Warrant.

8.Expiration of the Warrant. This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable as of 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the five year anniversary of the date of issuance of this Warrant.

9.No Rights as a Stockholder. Nothing contained herein shall entitle the Holder to any rights as a stockholder of the Company or to be deemed the holder of any securities that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the rights hereunder for any purpose nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or any other rights of a stockholder of the Company until the rights under the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon exercise of the rights hereunder shall have become deliverable as provided herein.

Subject to any previous exercise of the Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to purchase the number of Shares that equals the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Warrant Coverage Amount (as defined below) by (y) the Exercise Price (as defined below), prior to (or in connection with) the expiration of this Warrant as provided in Section 8.

(b)Warrant Coverage Amount. The “Warrant Coverage Amount” shall be equal to the product of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Advances (as defined in the Note) made under the Note multiplied by (y) thirty percent (30%).

(c)Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share shall initially be equal to $0.50, subject to adjustment pursuant hereto (the “Exercise Price”).

(d)Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time prior to (or in connection with) the expiration of this Warrant as set forth in Section 8.

2.Exercise of the Warrant.

(a)Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised at the election of the Holder, in whole or in part, in accordance with Section 1, by:

(i)the tender to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) of a notice of exercise in the form of Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly completed and executed by or on behalf of the Holder, together with the surrender of this Warrant; and

(ii)the payment to the Company of an amount equal to (x) the Exercise Price multiplied by (y) the number of Shares being purchased, by (a) wire transfer or certified, cashier’s or other check acceptable to the Company and payable to the order of the Company; (b) surrender and cancellation of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of the Company to the Holder; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b).

(b)Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), if the fair market value of one Share is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Holder may elect to receive a number of Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) together with a properly completed and executed Notice of Exercise reflecting such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of Shares computed using the following formula:

X	=	Y (A – B)
		A

Where:

X	=	The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder
Y	=	The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)
A	=	The fair market value of one Share (at the date of such calculation)
B	=	The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

- 2 -

For purposes of the calculation above, the fair market value of one Share shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), acting in good faith; provided, however, that where a public market exists for the Common Stock at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per Share shall be the volume weighted average sales price per share of the Common Stock (as reported, absent manifest error, on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTC BB”) or any other internationally recognized exchange or market upon which the Common Stock is then listed) for the ten (10) Trading Day period ending five (5) Trading Days prior to the date of determination of fair market value.

The Holder shall not exercise this Warrant pursuant to this Section 2(b) for more than that number of shares of Common Stock equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrant Coverage Amount divided by the Exercise Price in any six (6) month period.

(c)Stock Certificates. The rights under this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised in accordance with its terms, and the person entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as reasonably practicable on or after such date, and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for that number of shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that the rights under this Warrant are exercised in part and have not expired, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant reflecting the number of Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.

(d)No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant. In lieu of such fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

(e)Conditional Exercise. The Holder may exercise this Warrant conditioned upon (and effective immediately prior to) consummation of any transaction that would cause the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8 by so indicating in the notice of exercise.

(f)Automatic Exercise. If the Holder of this Warrant has not elected to exercise this Warrant prior to expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, then this Warrant shall automatically (without any act on the part of the Holder) be exercised pursuant to Section 2(b) effective immediately prior to the expiration of the Warrant to the extent such net issue exercise would result in the issuance of Shares, unless Holder shall earlier provide written notice to the Company that the Holder desires that this Warrant expire unexercised. If this Warrant is automatically exercised, the Company shall notify the Holder of the automatic exercise as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.

(g)Forced Exercise.  If (i) a registration is demanded by Holder pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among the Holder and the Company, (ii) the volume weighted average sales price per share of the Common Stock (as reported, absent manifest error, on the OTCBB or any other internationally recognized exchange or market upon which the Common Stock is then listed) for the thirty (30) Trading Days prior to the effective date of such registration statement is equal to or greater than $1.00 per share and (iii) the Company delivers a written notice to Holder stating its intent to force the Holder to exercise this Warrant under this Section 2(g) within ten (10) business days of Holder demanding a registration, then, contingent upon such registration statement being declared effective, Holder shall exercise this Warrant for at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal to twenty-five percent

- 3 -

(25%) of the Warrant Coverage Amount divided by the Exercise Price; provided, however, that the Company shall be able to force the Holder to exercise this Warrant under this Section 2(g) one (1) time only.

(h)Reservation of Stock. The Company agrees during the term the rights under this Warrant are exercisable to reserve and keep available from its authorized and unissued shares of common stock solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of the rights under this Warrant; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock shall not be sufficient for purposes of the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with its terms, without limitation of such other remedies as may be available to the Holder, the Company will use its best efforts to take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized and unissued shares of its common stock to a number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Company represents and warrants that all shares that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

3.Replacement of the Warrant. Subject to the receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at the expense of the Holder shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

4.Transfer of the Warrant.

(a)Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the name and address of the Holder or Holders. Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register in accordance herewith, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant) may change its address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting a change.

(b)Warrant Agent. The Company may appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 4(a), issuing the Shares or other securities then issuable upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant or conducting related activities.

(d)Exchange of the Warrant upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant (and a properly endorsed Assignment Form) for exchange, subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act and limitations on assignments and transfers, the Company shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof, and the Company shall register any such transfer upon the Warrant Register. This Warrant (and the securities issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant) must be surrendered

- 4 -

to the Company or its warrant or transfer agent, as applicable, as a condition precedent to the sale, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any interest in any of the securities represented hereby.

(e)Taxes. In no event shall the Company be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

5.Restrictions on Transfer of the Warrant and Shares; Compliance with Securities Laws. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the following:

(a)Restrictions on Transfers. Subject to Section 5(b), this Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without the Company’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), and any attempt by Holder to transfer or assign any rights, duties or obligations that arise under this Warrant without such permission shall be void. Any transfer of this Warrant or the Shares (the “Securities”) must be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Holder agrees not to make any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of all or any portion of the Securities, or any beneficial interest therein, unless and until the transferee thereof has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to take and hold such Securities subject to, and to be bound by, the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant to the same extent as if the transferee were the original Holder hereunder, and

(i)there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement, or

(ii)(A) the Holder shall have given prior written notice to the Company of the Holder’s intention to make such disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed description of the manner and circumstances of the proposed disposition and, with respect to any transfer of this Warrant, except for those dispositions set forth in Section 5(b) below, the Company shall have provided the Holder with prior written approval of such disposition (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (B) if requested by the Company, other than as set forth in Section 5(b) below, the Holder shall have furnished the Company, at the Holder’s expense, with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company (including, if requested by the Company, an opinion of counsel to the Holder) that such disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act.  It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, except in unusual circumstances.

(b)Permitted Transfers. Permitted transfers include (i) a transfer not involving a change in beneficial ownership, or (ii) transactions involving the distribution without consideration of Securities by any Holder to (x) a parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of a Holder that is a corporation, (y) any of the Holder’s partners, members or other equity owners, or retired partners or members, or to the estate of any of its partners, members or other equity owners or retired partners or members, or (z) a venture capital fund that is controlled by or under common control with one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, the Holder; provided, in each case, that the Holder shall give written notice to the Company of the Holder’s intention to effect such disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed description of the manner and circumstances of the proposed disposition.

- 5 -

(c)Securities Law Legend. The Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Warrant) be stamped or imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS CERTIFICATE MUST BE SURRENDERED TO THE COMPANY OR ITS TRANSFER AGENT AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OF ANY INTEREST IN ANY OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY.

(d)Instructions Regarding Transfer Restrictions. The Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Section 5.

(e)Removal of Legend. The legend referring to federal and state securities laws identified in Section 5(c) stamped on a certificate evidencing the Shares and the stock transfer instructions and record notations with respect to such securities shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such securities if (i) such securities are registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that a sale or transfer of such securities may be made without registration or qualification.

6.Adjustments. Subject to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, the number and kind of shares purchasable hereunder and the Exercise Price therefor are subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows:

(a)Merger or Reorganization. If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Reorganization”) involving the Company (other than as otherwise provided for herein or as would cause the expiration of this Warrant under Section 8) in which shares of the Company’s stock are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(b)Reclassification of Shares. If the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are changed into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes by reclassification,

- 6 -

capital reorganization or otherwise (other than as otherwise provided for herein) (a “Reclassification”), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of Shares which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock that a holder of the number of securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such Reclassification, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.

(c)Subdivisions and Combinations. In the event that the outstanding shares of common stock are subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of such securities, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the outstanding shares of common stock are combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of such securities, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.

(d)Dilutive Issuances.  If and whenever on or after the date of issuance of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 6(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Security for a consideration per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to either (i) in the case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock, the lesser of $0.25 per share or the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or (ii) in the case of the issuance or sale of Options or other Convertible Securities, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Applicable Price.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 6(d), the following shall be applicable:

(i)If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share.  For purposes of this Section 6(d)(i) the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.  No further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

(ii)If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.  For the purposes of this Section 6(d)(ii)), the

- 7 -

“lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security.  No further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Exercise Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 6(d), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii)If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.  For purposes of this Section 6(d)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change.

(iv)In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Price of such securities on the date of receipt.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be.  The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company within five (5) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation.  If the Holder disagrees with the determination of the Board of Directors and gives written notice of such disagreement to the Company within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) business days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder.  The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in exchange for the extinguishment of any invoice, account payable, loan, advance, debt, liability or obligation denominated in U.S. dollars or any other currency, then the consideration received by the Company will be deemed to be the U.S. dollar amount of such extinguished invoice, account payable, loan, advance, debt, liability or obligation.

- 8 -

(v)If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(vi)In the event that an event would result in an adjustment to the Exercise Price under Sections 6(a), 6(b) or 6(c) and also under this Section 6(d) an adjustment shall be made under only such applicable paragraph that results in the lowest Exercise Price.

(e)Notice of Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in accordance with this Section 6, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the event giving rise to the adjustment, the Exercise Price as adjusted and the number of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each. The Company shall, upon the written request of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of securities and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon exercise of this Warrant.

7.Notification of Certain Events. Prior to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, in the event that the Company shall authorize:

8.Expiration of the Warrant. This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable as of 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the five year anniversary of the date of issuance of this Warrant.

9.No Rights as a Stockholder. Nothing contained herein shall entitle the Holder to any rights as a stockholder of the Company or to be deemed the holder of any securities that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the rights hereunder for any purpose nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or any other rights of a stockholder of the Company until the rights under the

2.4Indemnification

(a)To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Investor, each of its officers, directors and partners, legal counsel and accountants and each person controlling Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 2, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any underwriter, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof)

-4-

arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance; (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any offering covered by such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse Investor, each of its officers, directors, partners, legal counsel and accountants and each person controlling Investor, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action.

(b)Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.4 (the “IndemnifiedParty”) shall give notice to the Company (the “IndemnifyingParty”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense; and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 2.4, to the extent such failure is not prejudicial. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(c)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.4 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No person or entity will be required under this Section 2.4(c) to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds from the offering received by such person or entity, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such person or entity. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity that was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

-5-

2.5Information by Investor. Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding Investor and the distribution proposed by Investor as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to in this Section 2.

2.6Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)Investor, by acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2.6. Investor agrees not to make any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of all or any portion of the Restricted Securities, or any beneficial interest therein, unless and until the transferee thereof has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to take and hold such Restricted Securities subject to, and to be bound by, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 2.6, and:

(i)There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and the disposition is made in accordance with the registration statement; or

(ii)Investor shall have given prior written notice to the Company of Investor’s intention to make such disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed description of the manner and circumstances of the proposed disposition, and such disposition will not require registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.

(b)Each certificate representing Registrable Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Agreement) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Investor consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Section 2.6.

(c)The legend referring to federal and state securities laws identified in Section 2.6(b) hereof stamped on a certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities and the stock transfer instructions and record notations with respect to such Restricted Securities shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such Restricted Securities if (i) such securities are registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that a sale or transfer of the securities may be made without registration or qualification.

-6-

2.7Rule 144 Reporting.  With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a)Make and keep adequate current public information with respect to the Company available in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and

(b)File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements.

2.8Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights.  The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to Investor by the Company under this Section 2 may be transferred or assigned by Investor to any transferee or assignee; provided that (i) such transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities is effected in accordance with the terms of Section 2.6 hereof and applicable securities laws, (ii) the Company is given written notice prior to said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are intended to be transferred or assigned and (iii) the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of Investor under this Agreement, including without limitation the obligations set forth in Section 2.4.

2.9Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights.. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Investor, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are pari passu with or senior to the registration rights granted to Investor hereunder.

The Company proposes to sell and issue to Investor shares of the Company’s Common Stock, a Secured Convertible Promissory Note and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”), such sale being referred to herein as  the “Financing.”  As a condition to the Financing, the parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement.

The parties therefore agree as follows:

SECTION 2

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

2.1Voting.  During the term of this Agreement, each Significant Holder agrees to vote all Shares in such manner as may be necessary to: (i) elect (and maintain in office) as a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) that person designated by the Investor (the “Designee”) in accordance with Section 4.23 of the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) vote for or against, as directed by the Investor, any person’s appointment to or nomination for any position on the Company’s Board that is vacant as of the date of this Agreement.

(a)notify the Company in writing of an intention to remove from the Company’s board of directors any incumbent director who occupies the board seat for which Investor is entitled to designate the Designee; or

(b)notify the Company in writing of an intention to select a new Designee for election to the board seat for which Investor is entitled to designate the Designee (whether to replace a prior Designee or to fill a vacancy in such board seat).

2.3Size of the Board of Directors.  During the term of this Agreement, each Significant Holder agrees to vote all Shares to maintain the authorized number of members of the board of directors of the Company at 7 directors.

2.4No Liability for Election of Recommended Director.  None of the parties and no officer, director, shareholder, partner, employee or agent of any party makes any representation or warranty as to the fitness or competence of the Designee of the Investor hereunder to serve on the board of directors by virtue of such party’s execution of this Agreement or by the act of such party in voting for such Designee pursuant to this Agreement.

The balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

8.15Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement. Facsimile copies of signed signature pages will be deemed binding originals.

EX-10.8

Exhibit 10.8 Indemnification Agreement dated August 6, 2009

ZAP

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of August 6, 2009 and is between ZAP, a California corporation (the “Company”), and Priscilla Lu (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

A.           Indemnitee’s service to the Company substantially benefits the Company.

B.           Individuals are reluctant to serve as directors or officers of corporations or in certain other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or indemnification against the risks of claims and actions against them arising out of such service.

C.           Indemnitee does not regard the protection currently provided by applicable law, the Company’s governing documents and any insurance as adequate under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee may not be willing to serve as a director or officer without additional protection.

D.           In order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to contractually obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, Indemnitee as permitted by applicable law.

E.           This Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the indemnification provided in the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and this Agreement shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor shall this Agreement be deemed to limit, diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

The parties therefore agree as follows:

1.Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) (other than an action by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, and, in the case of any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that (i) Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company or (ii) Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

2.Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of

the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such action if Indemnitee acted in good faith, in a manner Indemnitee believed to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, except that no indemnification shall be made (i) in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company in the performance of Indemnitee’s duty to the Company and its shareholders unless and only to the extent that the court in which such Proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses and then only to the extent that the court shall determine, (ii) of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a pending action without court approval or (iii) of expenses incurred in defending a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval.

3.Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. To the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 1 or 2 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.

4.Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. To the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her position as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, a witness in any action, suit or proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he or she shall be indemnified to the extent permitted by applicable law against all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith.

5.Additional Indemnification Rights. Subject to Section 7 and any other provision of this Agreement that prohibits, limits or conditions indemnification by the Company, the Company agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law for any acts, omissions or transactions while acting in the capacity of, or that are otherwise related to the fact that Indemnitee was or is serving as, a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company or, to the extent Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. In the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute or rule that expands the right of a California corporation to indemnify a director, officer or other corporate agent beyond that currently permitted under this Agreement, the applicable changes shall be, ipso facto, within the purview of Indemnitee’s rights and Company’s obligations under this Agreement, subject to the restrictions expressly set forth herein or therein. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule that narrows the right of a California corporation to indemnify a directors, officer or other corporate agent, such changes, to the extent required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have the effect on this Agreement and the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder as is required by such law, statute or rule.

6.Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the expenses, judgments, fines, settlements or other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses, judgments, fines, settlements or other amounts to which Indemnitee is entitled.

7.Exceptions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):

- 2 -

(a)for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;

(b)initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Company’s board of directors authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law, (iii) required to be made under Section10(e) or (iv) otherwise required by applicable law;

(c)for any acts or omissions or transactions from which a director may not be relieved of liability as set forth in the exception to Section 204(a)(10) of the California General Corporation Law or as to circumstances in which indemnity is expressly prohibited by Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law;

(d)for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if Indemnitee is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

(e)for any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if Indemnitee is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements); or

(f)if otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

8.Advancementof Expenses. The Company shall advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, all expenses incurred by Indemnitee in defending any Proceeding referenced in Section 1 or 2 prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding (but not amounts actually paid in settlement of any such Proceeding) upon receipt of a written request therefor. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free and made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay such advances. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced if it shall be determined ultimately that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby or by Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law. The advances to be made hereunder shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 30 days, after the receipt by the Company of a written statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditure made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice). This Section 8 shall not apply to any claim for which indemnity is not permitted under this Agreement or applicable law, but shall apply to any Proceeding referenced in Section 7(d) or 7(e) prior to a determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

9.Procedures for Notification and Defense of a Claim.

- 3 -

(a)Notice. Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of any matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of expenses as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of notice thereof. The written notification to the Company shall include, in reasonable detail, a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying the Proceeding. The failure by Indemnitee to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or otherwise, and any delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights, except to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company.

(b)Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a Proceeding pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of the Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall thereafter take all commercially-reasonable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

(c)Selection of Counsel. The Company shall be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense. Indemnitee agrees to consult with the Company and to consider in good faith the advisability and appropriateness of joint representation in the event that either the Company or other indemnitees in addition to Indemnitee require representation in connection with any Proceeding.

(d)Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation in connection with the Proceeding as may be reasonably appropriate.

(e)Right to Settle Proceedings. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding (or any part thereof) without Indemnitee’s prior written consent.

10.Procedures upon Application for Indemnification.

(a)Notice. To obtain indemnification, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and as is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of the Proceeding. The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the board of directors that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Any delay in providing the request will not relieve the Company from its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent such failure is prejudicial.

(b)Determination. Following a written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a),  determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by (i) a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to the Proceeding; (ii) if such a quorum of directors is not obtainable, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; (iii) approval by the shareholders in accordance with Section 153 of the California General Corporation Law, with the shares owned by Indemnitee not being entitled to vote thereon; or (iv) the court in which the proceeding is or was pending upon application made by the corporation or the agent or the attorney or other person rendering services in connection with the defense, whether or not the application by the agent, attorney or other person is opposed by the Company. If it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within 30 days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information that is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and that

- 4 -

is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(c)Disputes. Subject to Section 10(f), if (i) a determination is made that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to this Agreement within 90 days after the later of the receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification or the final disposition of the Proceeding, (iii) payment of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement is not made (A) within 30 days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or (B) with respect to indemnification pursuant to Sections 3 4 or 10(e) of this Agreement, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, (iv) advancement of expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 or 10(e) of this Agreement, or (v) the Company or any other person or entity takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration with respect to his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses, to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration in accordance with this Agreement.

(d)Presumptions. Neither (i) the failure of the Company, its board of directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, independent legal counsel or shareholders to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor (ii) an actual determination by the Company, its board of directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, independent legal counsel or shareholders that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to Section 10(c) shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to Section 10(c)  the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses, as the case may be.

(e)Expenses Incurred to Enforce this Agreement. To the extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement to the extent Indemnitee is successful in such action, and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 30 days, after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance such expenses to Indemnitee, subject to the provisions of Section 8.

(f)Timing of Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.

11.Primary Responsibility. The Company acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by Cathaya Funds and affiliates thereof (collectively,

- 5 -

the “Secondary Indemnitors”). The Company agrees that, as between the Company and the Secondary Indemnitors, the Company is primarily responsible for amounts required to be indemnified or advanced under the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or this Agreement and any obligation of the Secondary Indemnitors to provide indemnification or advancement for the same amounts is secondary to those Company obligations. The Company waives any right of contribution or subrogation against the Secondary Indemnitors with respect to the liabilities for which the Company is primarily responsible under this Section 11. In the event of any payment by the Secondary Indemnitors of amounts otherwise required to be indemnified or advanced by the Company under the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or this Agreement, the Secondary Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement of expenses under the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or this Agreement or, to the extent such subrogation is unavailable and contribution is found to be the applicable remedy, shall have a right of contribution with respect to the amounts paid. The Secondary Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 11.

12.Mutual Acknowledgement. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors, officers and other corporate agents under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

13.Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amounts incurred by Indemnitee, whether for expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the events and transactions giving rise to such Proceeding, and (ii) the relative fault of Indemnitee and the Company (and its other directors, officers, employees and agents) in connection with such events and transactions.

14.Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

15.No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment for such amounts under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

16.Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance. To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, trustees, general partners, managing members, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Company or any other enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies to the same extent as the most favorably-insured persons under such policy or policies in a comparable position.

17.Duration. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of (i) ten years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, serving at

- 6 -

the request of the Company, as applicable; or (ii) one year after the final termination of any Proceeding, including any appeal, then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10(e) of this Agreement relating thereto.

18.Services to the Company. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that any employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise) is at will, and Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, with or without notice, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in any executed, written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise), any existing formal severance policies adopted by the Company’s board of directors or, with respect to service as a director or officer of the Company, the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or the California General Corporation Law. No such document shall be subject to any oral modification thereof.

19.Enforcement. The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company.

20.Nonexclusivity. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of expenses provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s articles of incorporation, its bylaws, any agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, the California General Corporation Law or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

21.Severability. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court order or other applicable law, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

22.Effectiveness of the Agreement. To the extent that the indemnification permitted under the terms of certain provisions of this Agreement exceeds the scope of the indemnification specifically provided for in the California General Corporation Law, such provisions shall not be effective unless and until the Company’s articles of incorporation duly authorize such additional rights of indemnification. In all other respects, the balance of this Agreement shall be effective as of the date set forth in the introductory sentence of this Agreement and may apply to acts or omissions of Indemnitee that occurred prior to such date if Indemnitee was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company, or was serving at the request of the Company

- 7 -

as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, at the time such act or omission occurred.

23.Construction of Certain Phrases.

(a)For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Company” shall also include, in addition to the resulting or surviving corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(b)For purposes of this Agreement, references to “other enterprise” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries.

24.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

25.Notice. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or electronic mail or otherwise delivered by hand, messenger or courier service addressed:

(a)if to Indemnitee, to Indemnitee’s address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as shown on the signature page of this Agreement or in the Company’s records, as may be updated in accordance with the provisions hereof; or

(b)if to the Company, to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company at 501 4th Street, Santa Rosa, California 95401 or at such other current address as the Company shall have furnished to Indemnitee.

Each such notice or other communication shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as effective or having been given (i) if delivered by hand, messenger or courier service, when delivered (or if sent via a nationally-recognized overnight courier service, freight prepaid, specifying next-business-day delivery, one business day after deposit with the courier), or (ii) if sent via mail, at the earlier of its receipt or five days after the same has been deposited in a regularly-maintained receptacle for the deposit of the United States mail, addressed and mailed as aforesaid, or (iii) if sent via facsimile, upon confirmation of facsimile transfer or, if sent via electronic mail, upon confirmation of delivery.

26.Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California as applied to contracts between California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California.

27.Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding that arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action or proceeding instituted under this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of the State of California.

28.Amendment and Waiver. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing, signed by both parties hereto. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement shall adversely affect any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in an indemnified capacity prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

29.Integration and Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and applicable law.

30.Captions. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

EX-99.1

Exhibit 99.1 Press Release dated August 10, 2009

ZAP Secures up to $25 Million in New Financing

SANTA ROSA, California (August 10, 2009) – Electric vehicle pioneer ZAP (OTC BB: ZAAP) has entered into agreements to raise up to  $25 million in new financing with Cathaya Capital, L.P., having offices in Silicon Valley, and backed by financier Jacques de Chateauvieux’s Paris-based Jaccar Holdings.  Cathaya intends to manage the investment through its affiliate Better Worlds, LLC.

The financing includes a private placement of twenty million shares of common stock for aggregate proceeds of $5 million and a secured loan facility of up to $10 million that will be advanced to ZAP provided certain conditions are met. In connection with the financing, the investor also was issued warrants exercisable for up to sixteen million shares of common stock at $0.50 per share   For a more detailed description of the financing agreement, see Zap’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 10, 2009.

Leveraging its expertise in the design and manufacture of electric vehicles, as well as its fifteen years of experience in the distribution and sale of 100% electric vehicles, ZAP intends to use the new funding to broaden and accelerate its development of power train technology that improves overall performance of its vehicles while achieving cost reductions of its products.  ZAP also intends to use the funding to pursue longer-term contract production and assembly commitments, and to accelerate deliveries of trucks and vans to fill current fleet and government orders.

In making the announcement, ZAP CEO Steven Schneider commented: “This is a critical juncture for ZAP as we now have the means and resources to begin addressing the opportunities at hand on a global basis and to fully realize the leadership position possible in the electric vehicle marketplace.”

ZAP intends to use the proceeds of this financing to expand its vehicle distribution network into the European Union (EU) where recent government incentives supporting the adoption of electric vehicles have increased demand for practical models at affordable prices. In addition to targeting market opportunities in the EU, ZAP

intends to pursue automotive opportunities in China.  Last month, the China Daily called for government incentives on the purchase of vehicles that reduce pollution and minimize dependency on oil. ZAP believes calls for a proposed mandate of this nature, together with the subsidies that are now available in China to electric vehicle manufacturers, have created opportunities for increased volume production and sales. In parallel, Better Worlds, a company affiliated with the investor, intends to pursue the development of an overall infrastructure charging network for electric vehicles in China, by partnering with industry and technology companies that can offer practical solutions for fast recharging.

Dr. Priscilla Lu, General Partner of the investor and founder of Better Worlds, also commented: “We made this investment in ZAP based on the belief that the new focus and resources now available to the company will allow it to become a market leader, fully realizing its potential and leveraging its long history and experience. We believe ZAP’s experienced management team has the in-depth, practical know-how in the electric vehicle industry that will provide the foundation to succeed in markets and partnerships in Europe and China.”

Today’s announcement brings a total of up to $31 million in new financing for ZAP’s electric vehicle capital expansion since June.  In addition to the Cathaya package, up to $6 million in financing was placed by the Banks Group in June consisting of $2 million in cash and $4 million in warrants at $0.50 per share.
