These Warrants have been issued concurrently with a private placement (the "Private Placement") of certain Units of the Company's securities, of which this Warrant forms a part, pursuant to an effective Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith, between the Company and Warrantholder. The date of this Warrant is the closing date of the Private Placement with respect to the sale of the related Units to the initial Warratholder. Section 1. Duration and Exercise of Warrants. (a) The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate shall be exercisable on the Initial Exercise Date and shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Los Angeles, California time, on the date immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of this Warrant (the "Expiration Date"). Any Warrant 1 Certificate not surrendered to the Company for exercise or redemption prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date shall be void. (b) Subject to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate, on or after the Initial Exercise Date and prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, the Warrantholder shall have the right to purchase from the Company the number of Common Shares specified above at the Exercise Price. In order to exercise such right, the Warrantholder shall surrender the Warrant Certificate(s) evidencing such Warrants to the Company at the Office with the form of Election to Purchase set forth hereon duly completed and signed, and shall tender payment in full to the Company for the Company's account of the Exercise Price, together with such taxes as are specified in Section 4 hereof, for each Common Share with respect to which such Warrants are being exercised. Such Exercise Price and taxes shall be paid in full by wire transfer, certified check, bank cashier's check or money order, payable in United States currency to the order of the Company. In addition, if the Common Shares deliverable upon exercise have not been registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the Warrantholder shall deliver a duly executed certificate (the "Form of Stockholders Certificate") substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. (c) The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall be exercisable only in multiples of one (l) Warrant. If less than all of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are exercised at any time prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, a new Warrant Certificate(s) shall be issued to the Warrantholder, or his duly authorized assigns, by the Company for the remaining number of Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate so surrendered. (d) The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may not be exercised or redeemed if such exercise or redemption would constitute a violation of any applicable Federal or state statute or regulation or if any required approval of a governmental authority having jurisdiction shall not have been secured. The Company shall be entitled to require as a condition to exercise or redemption that the Warrantholder make such representations as are necessary to demonstrate compliance with Federal and applicable state securities laws. (e) For purposes of determining the date of exercise (the "Exercise Date") of the Warrants, the Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part by: (i) telecopying to the Company an executed Election to Purchase and Form of Stockholders Certificate (the "Exercise Notices"), in the forms annexed to this Warrant Certificate, and delivering to the Company the originals of the Exercise Notices together with the original Warrant Certificate representing at least the number of Warrants so exercised and tendering payment in full for the Company's account of the Exercise Price, in accordance with Section 1(b) hereof, which shall be received by the Company within two (2) business days thereafter, in which event the Exercise Date shall be the date the Exercise Notices shall be telecopied to the Company, or (ii) delivering to the Company by express or overnight courier the original executed Exercise Notices, the original Warrant Certificate representing at least the number of Warrants so exercised and tendering payment in full for the Company's account of the Exercise Price, in accordance with Section 1(b) hereof, which shall be received by the Company 2 within two (2) business days after the date of deposit (the "Deposit Date") with the authorized courier, in which event the Exercise Date shall be the Deposit Date. Section 2. Issuance of Share Certificates. Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price, and, if the Common Shares deliverable on exercise have not been registered under the Securities Act, upon delivery of a certificate in the form of Exhibit "A" hereto, the Company shall issue certificates representing Common Shares ("Share Certificates") for the number of full Common Shares to which the holder of such Warrants is entitled, registered in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Election to Purchase. If such Common Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, the Share Certificates shall bear a legend substantially similar to the legend on this Warrant Certificate. Section 3. Reorganizations. In case of any reorganization of the Company, or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other legal entity (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing legal entity) or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other legal entity (collectively, "Reorganizations"), each Warrant shall after such Reorganization be exercisable, upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant Certificate, for the stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which a holder of the number of Common Shares purchasable (at the time of such Reorganization) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled upon such Reorganization if such Warrant had been exercised in full immediately prior to such Reorganization; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Warrants shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any such stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor (if other than the Company) resulting from such Reorganization or the legal entity purchasing such assets shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered to the holder of each Warrant, the obligation to deliver to the holder of each Warrant such stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant Certificate. Section 4. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed by the United States of America or any state or territory thereof ("Taxes") attributable to the initial issuance of Common Shares upon the exercise of Warrants prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any Taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of any Warrant Certificates or any Share Certificates in a name other than that of the Warrantholder of record surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Share Certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such Taxes or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such Taxes have been paid. 3 Section 5. Registration.
