M~WAVE, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, have been included.


Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.

2.
Business Issues

During the second quarter of 2005 the Company continued to focus attention on growing its core EMG business while developing its customer base on the recently acquired DBS side of the business.

On February 25, 2005 M-Wave, Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary, M-Wave DBS, Inc., purchased substantially all of the assets of Jayco Ventures Inc. (JVI) for approximately $1,684,000. Included in the acquisition price is approximately $60,000 of acquired intangible assets, which consists of patents, customer relationships, and customer backlogs. The weighted average estimated economic life of the acquired intangible assets is approximately three years. The acquisition also resulted in goodwill of approximately $824,000, which has been recorded on the books of the DBS business segment. All operations of JVI after February 25, 2005 are included in the consolidated results of M-Wave, Inc. All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As of June 30, 2005, the Company has not finalized the purchase accounting for the JVI acquisition.
 
8


3.
Realization of Assets

The Company continues its efforts to sell its prior plant and improvements located in Bensenville, Illinois as soon as practicable.

4.
Inventories

Inventory is carried at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Substantially all the Company’s inventories are in finished goods held for sales to customers supported by annual forecasts, firm purchase orders or contracts.

5.
Business Segments

Concurrently with the acquisition, M-Wave established two operating units. The Company's existing printed circuit board and related custom component business is now known as M-Wave EMG [Electro-Mechanical Group]. Concurrently, Robert Duke, Vice President of Corporate Sales, was named President-EMG division. Jason Cohen, former CEO of JVI, was hired as President-DBS division. These two operating units - Electromechanical (EMG) and Digital Broadcast Satellite (DBS) - are the two segments that the Company operates in. The Company currently does not allocate corporate expenses. These costs are currently incurred within the EMG results. Information about the Company by segment is presented below for the three and six months ended June 30:

The issuances were made to Mercator Momentum Fund, L.P., Monarch Pointe, Ltd., and M.A.G. Capital, LLC (formerly Mercator Advisory Group, LLC), all of which are related entities. The warrants have a term of three years with an exercise price of $1.15 per share. The value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model which calculated a value of approximately $490,000 based on a fair value price of $1.14, assuming an expected life of 3 years, a risk-free interest rate of 3.63%, volatility of 260.7%, and no dividend yield. When combined with the face value of the notes, these warrants result in a debt discount with an allocated fair value of approximately $376,000. This debt discount will be expensed using the effective interest rate method. This debt discount, combined with the stated interest rate of 10%, results in an effective interest rate of approximately 30%.

On June 16, 2005, we issued $2,400,000 in aggregate principal amount of promissory notes which amended the $1,550,000 in aggregate principal amount of promissory notes, dated February 23, 2005 in exchange for an additional aggregate principal amount of $850,000 (provided that the warrants issued in connection with the February 23, 2005 promissory notes were not cancelled and therefore remain outstanding). In connection with the issuance of notes, we issued 166,666 warrants to purchase our common stock. The issuances were made to Mercator Momentum Fund, L.P., Mercator Momentum Fund III, L.P., Monarch Pointe, Ltd., and M.A.G. Capital, LLC (formerly Mercator Advisory Group, LLC), all of which are related entities. The warrants have a term of three years with an exercise price of $1.02 per share. The value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model which calculated a value of approximately $166,000 based on a fair value price of $1.00, assuming an expected life of 3 years, a risk-free interest rate of 3.76%, volatility of 261.0%, and no dividend yield. When combined with the face value of the notes, these warrants result in a debt discount with an allocated fair value of approximately $139,000. This debt discount will be expensed using the effective interest rate method. This debt discount, combined with the stated interest rate of 10%, results in an effective interest rate of approximately 21%.

The issuance of notes and warrants were made to Mercator Momentum Fund, L.P., Mercator Momentum Fund III, L.P., Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd. and M.A.G. Capital, LLC, all of which are related entities. We paid fees totaling $29,000 in connection with the financing.

The promissory notes accrue interest at 10% per annum and become due on August 23, 2007; provided that the notes are subordinate in right of payment to the debt payable to our lender Silicon Valley Bank. Upon sale of our real property at 215 Park Street, Bensenville, Illinois and subject to the approval of SVB, we are required to prepay an aggregate of $325,000 under the promissory notes. Voluntary prepayments are subject to a 1% premium payment. We are required to pay annual extension fees equal to 1% of the outstanding principal balance under the notes on June 1, 2006 and June 1, 2007.

The warrants have a term of three years and an exercise price of $1.02 per share. We granted registration rights to the holders of the warrants, which rights are exercisable on or after February 1, 2006.

On April 11, 2005, the Company amended its facility with Silicon Valley Bank, which provided a total credit limit expansion from $4.5 million to $6.0 million. This new facility will finance the DBS operations through a Mini-ABL (accounts receivable purchase) facility for an initial period, while continuing to provide funds for the EMG division under the asset based line of credit Receivables under the Mini-ABL agreement will be loaned at 80% availability while we will continue to have 85% availability on receivables under the ABL. After the initial review period, the Bank will review the performance of the newly acquired division, and the Company expects to be able to transition these receivables from Mini-ABL to the Company’s traditional asset based line of credit which will minimize our borrowing costs and provide added flexibility. Other provisions of the ABL permit borrowing capabilities against inventories of both divisions in amounts up to 50% of their net value, with a limit of $1,000,000, which is $250,000 above the previous borrowing capacity on inventories. Another added benefit of the new facility is the ability to issue up to $1,000,000 in letters of credit to Asian suppliers. The Company expects this feature will provide additional flexibility in finding Asian vendors for new products as well as developing tertiary suppliers of existing products. The combined borrowing from letters of credit, inventory, factoring, and receivables under the ABL cannot exceed $6.0 million. The effective rate of interest under this agreement, including fees, is approximately 8%.

RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004

Net Sales

Net sales were approximately $6,633,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, an increase of approximately $1,041,000 or 18.6% above the quarter ended June 30, 2004. M-Wave EMG net sales were approximately $5,801,000, an increase of approximately $210,000 or 3.8% versus the second quarter of 2004. M-Wave DBS net sales were approximately $831,000 in the second quarter of 2005 which is the first full quarter of sales for our new DBS division that was formed upon our acquisition of JVI on February 25, 2005.

Within our EMG segment, the radio frequency “RF” product line sales were approximately $3,806,000 during the second quarter of 2005 versus $3,158,000 for the second quarter of 2004, an increase of approximately $648,000, or 20.5%. Sales within our digital product line were approximately $1,996,000 during the second quarter of 2005 versus approximately $2,433,000 for the second quarter of 2004, a decrease of $437,000 or 18%.

As indicated above, 2005 sales in our RF product line continued to outpace 2004 sales, supported by the overall domestic growth for this product group and increased demand at virtually all of our major customers. The decrease in digital sales is primarily due to smaller customer accounts reducing their inventory below expectations.

Currently, the DBS segment does not have multiple product lines.

Gross Profit and Cost of Goods Sold

The Company’s gross profit for the second quarter of 2005 was approximately $1,275,000, or 19.2% of Net Sales, compared to a gross profit of approximately $857,000, or 15.3% of Net Sales, for the second quarter of 2004. Increase in gross profit for the second quarter was attributable to several factors. Higher sales within the EMG segment that have focused on higher margin accounts in both the Digital and RF product lines helped improved margins in the 2005 second quarter compared to last year.
 
15


Gross profit at our EMG and DBS divisions were approximately $1,193,000, or 20.6% and $82,000, or 9.9% respectively, for the second quarter of 2005 compared to approximately $857,000, or 15.3% and $0 for the second quarter of 2004. DBS margins for the second quarter were lower due to sales of inventory at lower than usual prices. In addition, higher freight costs related to incoming inventory also impacted DBS margins in the second quarter. As we build the DBS business we anticipate improved revenue and margins in amounts that are anticipated to be comparable to the EMG division. We also expect improved freight costs as we begin to negotiate rates and consolidate incoming shipments on a corporate-wide basis.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses were approximately $1,353,000 or 20.4% of net sales in the second quarter of 2005 compared to approximately $553,000 or 9.9% of net sales in the second quarter of 2004, an increase of approximately $800,000. General and administrative expenses for the EMG group was approximately $807,000 for the second quarter of 2005 compared to expenses of approximately $553,000 for the second quarter of 2004. General and administrative expenses for the DBS group were approximately $546,000 for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $0 in the second quarter of 2004.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, professional services, depreciation of office, equipment and computer systems and occupancy expenses. In comparison to the second quarter of 2004, payroll related expenses increased approximately $319,000 due to increased headcount at our DBS division and payments of incentive compensation of approximately $147,000. Professional services, which include legal, auditing, and consulting fees, decreased approximately $33,000 in 2005 compared to prior year primarily due to the elimination of consulting fees paid to Credit Support International (CSI) in 2004. Costs related to being a public company, such as investor relations, corporate development, and Sarbanes-Oxley expenses, increased approximately $102,000 in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004. Costs related to the Strategic Operating Alliance (SOA) with American Standard Circuits (ASC) were approximately $218,000 in the second quarter of 2005, an increase of approximately $66,000 over the second quarter of 2004. Increases in bank fees, engineering product development, and travel expenses of approximately $24,000, $30,000, and $30,000, respectively, during the second quarter of 2005 versus those recorded during 2004 are a reflection of the inclusion of DBS expenses for 2005.

Selling and marketing expenses were approximately $430,000 or 6.5% of net sales in the second quarter of 2005, that is comparable to approximately $362,000 or 6.5% of net sales in the second quarter of 2004. Selling and marketing expenses for the EMG group was approximately $245,000 for the second quarter of 2005 compared to expenses of approximately $362,000 for the second quarter of 2004. Selling and marketing expenses for the DBS group were approximately $186,000 for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $0 in the second quarter of 2004. Selling and marketing expenses include the cost of salaries, advertising and promotion of the Company’s products, and commissions paid to independent sales organizations. In comparison to the second quarter of 2004, commissions paid to independent sales organizations decreased approximately $124,000, and payroll-related expenses increased approximately $155,000 due to the inclusion of DBS headcount.
 
16


The Company did not record an impairment loss in the second quarter of 2005. It recorded a loss of approximately $23,000 in the second quarter of 2004, to adjust the carrying value of its investment in AM-Wave, LLC to its estimated net realizable value.

The Company recorded no stock compensation expense in the second quarter of 2005. The Company recorded approximately $66,000 in stock compensation expense in the second quarter of 2004 related to consulting agreements with CSI and Gordhan Patel.

Operating Loss

Operating loss was approximately $508,000 in the second quarter of 2005 compared to an operating loss of approximately $148,000 in the second quarter of 2004, primarily due to the increased general and administrative expenses discussed above, partially offset by increases in gross profit and decreases in impairment charges and stock compensation.

Interest Income

Interest income from short-term investments was approximately $2,000 in the second quarter of 2005 compared to approximately $10,000 in the second quarter of 2004. Prior year quarter benefited from payment on a promissory note which was subsequently converted to an investment in equity securities at the end of 2004.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $174,000 in the second quarter of 2005 versus $61,000 interest expense the second quarter of 2004, with the increase primarily due to increased borrowings and discounts issued on new long-term debt. The Company recorded non-cash interest expense of approximately $86,000 in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $0 in the second quarter of 2004. These non-cash expenses are related to the amortization of approximately $12,000 on warrants to Silicon Valley Bank related to the financing agreement, and approximately $74,000 related to the issuance of long-term debt to entities related to M.A.G. Capital LLC.
 
17


Other Income

The Company did not record any other income in the second quarter of 2005. The Company recorded approximately $321,000 in income related to trade debt forgiveness in the second quarter of 2004.

M-Wave DBS net sales were approximately $1,067,000 in the first six months of 2005 which reflect sales for our new DBS division that was formed upon our acquisition of JVI on February 25, 2005. To date, DBS sales have fallen short of expectations since the acquisition due to lack of inventory availability.

Within our EMG segment, the radio frequency “RF” product line sales were approximately $6,190,000 during the first six months of 2005 versus $5,125,000 for the first six months of 2004, an increase of approximately $1,065,000, or 20.8%. Sales within our digital product line were approximately $4,333,000 during the first six months of 2005 versus approximately $4,382,000 for the first six months of 2004, a decrease of $49,000 or 1.1%.

As indicated above, 2005 sales of our RF product line continued to outpace 2004 sales, supported by the overall domestic growth for this product group and increased demand at virtually all of our major customers.

The remaining increase in inventories is attributable to the purchase accounting treatment of JVI. Prepaid expenses increased by approximately $783,000 primarily due to advanced payments to the DBS vendors. Consequently, the increase in accounts payable of approximately $64,000 is related to the corresponding increase in prepaid expenses.
 
21


Capital expenditures were approximately $117,000 in the first six months of 2005 compared to approximately $32,000 in the first six months of 2004. The current year expenses consisted primarily of purchases of computer equipment for the DBS division as well as purchases related to integrating the DBS division into the Company’s current ERP system.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1,801,000 for the first six months of 2005 compared to cash provided of approximately $2,600,000 during the first six months of 2004. The prior year activity included approximately $2,633,000 in proceeds received from the sale of assets to ASC. Current year activity was primarily related to the acquisition of the JVI business in February 2005.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by approximately $4,248,000 related to the issuance of long-term debt of $2,400,000 and increases in our credit facility of approximately $1,848,000 during the first six months of 2005. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $234,000 during the first six months of 2004 primarily related to repayments of debt with proceeds from sales of assets and the establishment of the credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank during the first six months of 2004.

Our ability to fund working capital and anticipated capital expenditures will depend on our future performance, which is subject to general economic conditions, financial conditions, our customers, actions of our domestic and international competitors, and other factors that are beyond our control. Our ability to fund operating activities is also dependent upon our ability to effectively manage our expenses in relation to revenues, and our ability to access external sources of financing.

On June 16, 2005, we issued $2,400,000 in aggregate principal amount of promissory notes, which restructured the $1,550,000 in aggregate principal amount of promissory notes dated February 23, 2005, in exchange for an investment of $850,000 (provided that the 434,783 warrants issued in connection with the February 23, 2005 promissory notes were not canceled and therefore remain outstanding). In connection with the issuance of notes, we issued 166,666 warrants to purchase our common stock. The issuances of notes and warrants were made to Mercator Momentum Fund, L.P., Mercator Momentum Fund III, L.P., Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd. and M.A.G. Capital, LLC, all of which are related entities. We paid fees totaling $29,000 in connection with the financing.
 
22


In the second quarter of 2005 we learned more about the liquidity requirements of the DBS division which was acquired in February 2005. Current terms with DBS suppliers require us to effectively prepay for all inventory purchases by the time product is received. At the time of acquisition, the DBS division had little saleable inventory, requiring us to purchase a substantial amount of inventory on a prepaid basis, amounts which are in excess of our current capital resources.

Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, our current cash, the $6.0 million secured, asset-based credit line with Silicon Valley Bank, and proceeds from a potential sale of the Bensenville facility, we believe that we will require additional equity or debt financing to meet our anticipated liquidity requirements over the next 12 months. Based on current projections, we believe we would need to obtain an additional $1 million - $2 million to meet these liquidity requirements. As of June 30, 2005, total availability under the line of credit was approximately $3.1 million, of which we had borrowed nearly all $3.1 million, leaving us with virtually no remaining availability at this time. As of June 30, 2005, we are in compliance with all bank covenants. We are pursuing all available alternatives to secure the necessary financing. There can be no assurances that additional equity or debt financing will be available to us, or if available, that such financing will be available on acceptable terms. There can be no assurances that we will remain in compliance with all bank covenants. If we are unable to obtain such financing, we would be required to modify our strategic growth plans and scale back operations, beginning in the latter part of the 2005 third quarter, to reduce labor, travel and sales expenses, and to reduce inventory purchases, which actions would likely result in reduced revenue, particularly in our M-Wave DBS business.

Inflation

Management believes inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s operations or on its financial position. However, expected supplier price increases that average approximately 3-5% may have a material effect on the Company’s operations and financial position in the remainder of 2005, if the Company is unable to pass through those increases under its present contracts.

Foreign Currency Transactions

All of the Company’s foreign transactions are negotiated, invoiced and paid in United States dollars.

Risk Factors Affecting Business and Results of Operations

This report, as well as our other reports filed with the SEC, our press releases, and other communications contain forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements regarding our expected financial position, results of operations, cash flows, dividends, financing plans, strategy, budgets, capital and other expenditures, competitive positions, growth opportunities, benefits from new technology, plans and objectives of management, and markets for stock. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations and, like any other business, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. The risks include those stated in the section entitled "Risk Factors Affecting Business and Results of Operations" at the end of Item 6 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and economic, competitive and other factors affecting our operations, markets, products and services, expansion strategies and other factors discussed elsewhere in this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and the other documents we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the following paragraphs below.
 
23


In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained in this report will in fact prove accurate, and our actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

To maintain the listing of our common stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, we must maintain compliance with their continuing listing requirements, including a minimum tangible net worth of $2.5 million. Our current forecasts estimate that we will not be able to maintain this minimum tangible net worth through the 2005 third quarter without obtaining additional equity financing.

This continuing listing requirements also require that, on and after July 31, 2005, we must have a minimum of three members on the audit committee of our board of directors, all of which must meet the definition of independence contained within NASDAQ’s rules. On the date of this report, our audit committee consists of two members, who qualify as independent, and none of our other directors meet such definition of independence. The shortage is a result of the resignation of Thomas K. Cox on June 29, 2005, and NASDAQ has allowed us until the earlier to occur of June 29, 2006 or our next annual meeting of stockholders to replace Mr. Cox.

The continuing listing requirements also require that our common stock must not fall below a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for any period of 30 consecutive business days. On August 10, 2005, the closing bid price of our common stock closed was $0.74 per share.

We may not be able to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $2.5 million, add a third independent director to our audit committee, maintain the minimum bid price of our common stock, or meet one or more of the other continuing listing requirements of the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, any of which would make our common stock subject to delisting. Upon a delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, our common stock would trade on the over-the-counter bulletin board, which may have an adverse impact on the market price and liquidity of our common stock. In addition, if our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and the trading price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, our common stock will come within the definition of a “penny stock.” As a result, it is possible that our common stock may become subject to the penny stock rules and regulations that require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a penny stock. The additional burdens imposed on broker-dealers may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of our stockholders to resell our common stock.

Item 3.
Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Principal Executive Officer and the Company's Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) 15d-15(e), 13a-15(f), and 15d-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on this evaluation, the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. It should be noted that in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company has designed its disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level of reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives and, based on the evaluation described above, the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at reaching that level of reasonable assurance.
 
(b)     Changes in internal controls. There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

1.2           Warrant Price.  The Warrant shall be exercisable at the Warrant Price described above.  

1.3           Maximum Number  of Shares.  The maximum number of Shares of Common Stock exercisable pursuant to this Warrant is 54,667 Shares.  However, not withstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant for a number of Shares greater than the number that would cause the aggregate beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of (a) the Holder and its affiliates or (b) M.A.G Capital, LLC, and its affiliates, to equal 9.99% of the Company’s Common Stock then outstanding. 

1.4           Procedure for Exercise of Warrant.  Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering the following to the principal office of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof: (i) a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Schedule A, (ii) payment of the Warrant Price then in effect for each of the Shares being purchased, as designated in the Notice of Exercise, and (iii) this Warrant.  Payment of the Warrant Price may be in cash, certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, or wire transfer of funds to the Company’s account (or any combination of any of the foregoing) in the amount of the Warrant Price for each share being purchased.  

1.5           Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant.  In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or such other name or names as may be designated by the Holder, together with any other securities or other property which the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof, at the Company’s expense, within a reasonable time, not exceeding fifteen (15) calendar days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised; and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of Shares (except a remaining fractional share), if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have be en exercised shall also be issued to the Holder hereof within such time.  The person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was received by the Company, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is on a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

The shares of stock evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred ("transferred") in the absence of such registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. In the absence of such registration, such shares may not be transferred unless, if the Company requests, the Company has received a written opinion from counsel i n form and substance satisfactory to the Company stating that such transfer is being made in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Holder thereof (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), the securities represented thereby are not, at such time, required by law to bear such legend.

1.7           Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant.  In the event of a fractional interest, the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.

2.2           Issuance of Shares.  The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.  The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state taxes which may be pa yable in respect of the issue of this Warrant or any Common Stock or certificates therefor issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise in full of the rights represented by this Warrant.  If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of the Warrant in full, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3 hereto, then the Company will take all such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, be necessary or advisable to increase the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to permit the exercise of the Warrant in full, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3 hereto, including without limitation, using its best efforts to obtain any necessary stockholder approval of such increase.  The Company further covenants and agrees that if any shares of capital stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of shares upon the exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.  If and so long as the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant is listed on any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or market, list and keep listed on such exchange or market, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

3.2           Dividends in Common Stock, Other Stock or Property.  If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor:

 

(a) Common Stock, Options or any shares or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution (other than options awarded in the ordinary course of business to employees, directors or consultants with a fair market value exercise price);

(b) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a regular cash dividend; or

(c) Common Stock or additional shares or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3.1 above) and additional shares, other securities or property issued in connection with a Change (as defined below) (which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3.4 below), then and in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in add ition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clause (b) above and this clause (c)) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property.

3.3           Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the share capital of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its shares and/or assets or other transaction (including, without limitation, a sale of substantially all of its assets followed by a liquidation) shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shares, securities or other assets or property (a “Change”), then, as a condition of such Change, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding Common Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Change.  The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property.  The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to give effect to the adj ustments provided for in this Section 3 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant.  The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall similarly apply to successive Changes.

4.             Ownership and Transfer.

4.2           Transfer and Replacement.  This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part upon the books of the Company by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and a new Warrant or Warrants, of the same tenor as this Warrant but registered in the name of the transferee or transferees (and in the name of the Holder, if a partial transfer is effected) shall be made and delivered by the Company upon surrender of this Warrant duly endorsed, at the office of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft or destruction, and, in such case, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender of this Warrant if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant; provided that if the Holder hereof is an instrumentality of a state or local government or an institutional holder or a nominee for such an instrumentality or institutional holder an irrevocable agreement of indemnity by such Holder shall be sufficient for all purposes of this Warrant, and no evidence of loss or theft or destruction shall be necessary.  This Warrant shall be promptly cancelled by the Company upon the surrender hereof in connection with any transfer or replacement.  Except as otherwise provided above, in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of a Warrant, the Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with any transfer or replacement of this Warrant, other than income taxes and stock transfer taxes (if any) payable in connection with a transfer of this Warrant, which shall be payable by the Holder.  Holder will not transfer this Warrant and the rights hereunder except in c ompliance with federal and state securities laws and except after providing evidence of such compliance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

Number of Shares:

Up to 45,333 shares (subject to adjustment)

Warrant Price:

$1.02 per share

Issuance Date:

June 16, 2005

Expiration Date:

June 16, 2008

 

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT for value received, Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd., or its registered assigns (hereinafter called the “Holder”) is entitled to purchase from M-Wave, Inc. (hereinafter called the “Company”), the above referenced number of fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Shares”) of common stock (the “Common Stock”), of Company, at the Warrant Price per Share referenced above; the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant referenced above being subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein. This Warrant is issued in connection with that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith (the “Note”), by and between the Company and Holder. The exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to the provisions, limitations and restrictions contained herein.

1.             Term and Exercise.

1.1           Term.  This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part (but not as to any fractional share of Common Stock), at any time and from time to time after the date hereof prior to 6:00 p.m. on the Expiration Date set forth above.  

1.2           Warrant Price.  The Warrant shall be exercisable at the Warrant Price described above.  

1.3           Maximum Number  of Shares.  The maximum number of Shares of Common Stock exercisable pursuant to this Warrant is 45,333 Shares.  However, notwithstanding anything herein to the co ntrary, in no event shall the Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant for a number of Shares greater than the number that would cause the aggregate beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of (a) the Holder and its affiliates or (b) M.A.G Capital, LLC, and its affiliates, to equal 9.99% of the Company’s Common Stock then outstanding.

1.4           Procedure for Exercise of Warrant.  Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering the following to the principal office of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof: (i) a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Schedule A, (ii) payment of the Warrant Price then in effect for each of the Shares being purchased, as designated in th e Notice of Exercise, and (iii) this Warrant.  Payment of the Warrant Price may be in cash, certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, or wire transfer of funds to the Company’s account (or any combination of any of the foregoing) in the amount of the Warrant Price for each share being purchased.  

1.5           Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant.  In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or such other name or names as may be designated by the Holder, together with any other securities or other property which the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof, at the Company’s expense, within a reasonable time, not exceeding fifteen (15) calendar days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised; and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of Shares (except a remaining fractional share), if any, with respect to which this Warrant sha ll not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder hereof within such time.  The person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was received by the Company, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is on a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

1.6           Restrictive Legend.  Each certificate for Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the form as follows, together with any additional legend required by (i) any applicable state securities laws and (ii) any securities exchange upon which such Shares may, at the time of such exercise, be listed:

 

The shares of stock evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred ("transferred") in the absence of such registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. In the absence of such registration, such shares may not be transferred unless, if the Company requests, the Company has received a written opinion from counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company stating that such transfer is being made in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Holder thereof (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), the securities represented thereby are not, at such time, required by law to bear such legend.

1.7           Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant.  In the event of a fractional interest, the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.  

2.             Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

2.1           Representations and Warranties.

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation and has all necessary power and authority to perform its obligations under this Warrant;

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Warrant has been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms; and

(c) This Warrant does not violate and is not in conflict with any of the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Certificate of Determination, Bylaws and any resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors or stockholders, or any agreement of the Company, and no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance exists that might (with or without notice or lapse of time) constitute or result directly or indirectly in such a violation or conflict.

2.2           Issuance of Shares.  The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.  The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state taxes which may be pa yable in respect of the issue of this Warrant or any Common Stock or certificates therefor issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise in full of the rights represented by this Warrant.  If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of the Warrant in full, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3 hereto, then the Company will take all such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, be necessary or advisable to increase the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to permit the exercise of the Warrant in full, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3 hereto, including without limitation, using its best efforts to obtain any necessary stockholder approval of such increase.  The Company further covenants and agrees that if any shares of capital stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of shares upon the exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.  If and so long as the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant is listed on any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or market, list and keep listed on such exchange or market, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

3.             Other Adjustments.

3.1           Subdivision or Combination of Shares.  In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and the number of Shares subject to this Warrant shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in case the outstanding Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, and the number of Shares subject to this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.

3.2           Dividends in Common Stock, Other Stock or Property.  If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor:

 

(a) Common Stock, Options or any shares or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution (other than options awarded in the ordinary course of business to employees, directors or consultants with a fair market value exercise price);

(b) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a regular cash dividend; or

(c) Common Stock or additional shares or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3.1 above) and additional shares, other securities or property issued in connection with a Change (as defined below) (which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3.4 below), then and in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in add ition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clause (b) above and this clause (c)) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property.

3.3           Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the share capital of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its shares and/or assets or other transaction (including, without limitation, a sale of substantially all of its assets followed by a liquidation) shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shares, securities or other assets or property (a “Change”), then, as a condition of such Change, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding Common Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Change.  The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property.  The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to give effect to the adj ustments provided for in this Section 3 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant.  The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall similarly apply to successive Changes.

4.             Ownership and Transfer.

4.1           Ownership of This Warrant.  The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in this Section 4.

4.2           Transfer and Replacement.  This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part upon the books of the Company by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and a new Warrant or Warrants, of the same tenor as this Warrant but registered in the name of the transferee or transferees (and in the name of the Holder, if a partial transfer is effected) shall be made and delivered by the Company upon surrender of this Warrant duly endorsed, at the office of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft or destruction, and, in such case, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender of this Warrant if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant; provided that if the Holder hereof is an instrumentality of a state or local government or an institutional holder or a nominee for such an instrumentality or institutional holder an irrevocable agreement of indemnity by such Holder shall be sufficient for all purposes of this Warrant, and no evidence of loss or theft or destruction shall be necessary.  This Warrant shall be promptly cancelled by the Company upon the surrender hereof in connection with any transfer or replacement.  Except as otherwise provided above, in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of a Warrant, the Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with any transfer or repla cement of this Warrant, other than income taxes and stock transfer taxes (if any) payable in connection with a transfer of this Warrant, which shall be payable by the Holder.  Holder will not transfer this Warrant and the rights hereunder except in compliance with federal and state securities laws and except after providing evidence of such compliance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT for value received, M.A.G. Capital, LLC., or its registered assigns (hereinafter called the “Holder”) is entitled to purchase from M-Wave, Inc. (hereinafter called the “Company”), the above referenced number of fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Shares”) of common stock (the “Common Stock”), of Company, at the Warrant Price per Share referenced above; the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant referenced above being subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein. This Warrant is issued in connection with those certain Promissory Notes of even date herewith (the “Notes”), by and between the Company and Mercator Momentum Fund, LP and Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd. The exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to the provisions, limitations and restrictions contained herein.

1.             Term and Exercise.

1.1           Term.  This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part (but not as to any fractional share of Common Stock), at any time and from time to time after the date hereof prior to 6:00 p.m. on the Expiration Date set forth above.  

1.2           Warrant Price.  The Warrant shall be exercisable at the Warrant Price described above.  

1.3           Maximum Number  of Shares.  The maximum number of Shares of Common Stock exercisable pursuant to this Warrant is 33,333 Shares.  However, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant for a number of Shares greater than the number that would cause the aggregate beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of (a) the Holder and its affiliates or (b) M.A.G Capital, LLC, and its affiliates, to equal 9.99% of the Company’s Common Stock then outstanding.

1.4           Procedure for Exercise of Warrant.  Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering the following to the principal office of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof: (i) a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Schedule A, (ii) payment of the Warrant Price then in effect for each of the Shares being purchased, as designated in the Notice of Exercise, and (iii) this Warrant.  Payment of the Warrant Price may be in cash, certified or official bank check payable to the order of the C ompany, or wire transfer of funds to the Company’s account (or any combination of any of the foregoing) in the amount of the Warrant Price for each share being purchased.  

1.5          Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant.  In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or such other name or names as may be designated by the Holder, together with any other securities or other property which the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof, at the Company’s expense, within a reasonable time, not exceeding fifteen (15) calendar days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised; and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of Shares (except a remaining fractional share), if any, w ith respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder hereof within such time.  The person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was received by the Company, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is on a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

1.6           Restrictive Legend.  Each certificate for Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the form as follows, together with any additional legend required by (i) any applicable state securities laws and (ii) any securities exchange upon which such Shares may, at the time of such exercise, be listed:

 

The shares of stock evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred ("transferred") in the absence of such registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. In the absence of such registration, such shares may not be transferred unless, if the Company requests, the Company has received a written opinion from counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company stating that such transfer is being made in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Holder thereof (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), the securities represented thereby are not, at such time, required by law to bear such legend.

1.7           Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant.  In the event of a fractional interest, the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.  

2.             Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

2.1           Representations and Warranties.

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation and has all necessary power and authority to perform its obligations under this Warrant;

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Warrant has been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms; and

(c) This Warrant does not violate and is not in conflict with any of the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Certificate of Determination, Bylaws and any resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors or stockholders, or any agreement of the Company, and no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance exists that might (with or without notice or lapse of time) constitute or result directly or indirectly in such a violation or conflict.

2.2           Issuance of Shares.   The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.  The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of this Warrant or any Common Stock or certificates therefor issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise in full of the rights represented by this Warrant.  If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of the Warrant in full, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3 hereto, then the Company will take all such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, be necessary or advisable to increase the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to permit the exercise of the Warrant in full, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3 hereto, including without limitation, using its best efforts to obtain any necessary stockholder approval of such increase.  The Company further covenants and agrees that if any shares of capital stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of shares upon the exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.  If and so long as the Common Stock iss uable upon the exercise of this Warrant is listed on any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or market, list and keep listed on such exchange or market, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

3.             Other Adjustments.

3.1           Subdivision or Combination of Shares.  In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and the number of Shares subject to this Warrant shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in case the outstanding Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, and the number of Shares subject to this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.

3.2           Dividends in Common Stock, Other Stock or Property.  If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor:

 

(a) Common Stock, Options or any shares or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution(other than options awarded in the ordinary course of business to employees, directors or consultants with a fair market value exercise price);

(b) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a regular cash dividend; or

(c) Common Stock or additional shares or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3.1 above) and additional shares, other securities or property issued in connection with a Change (as defined below) (which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3.4 below), then and in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in add ition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clause (b) above and this clause (c)) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property.

3.3           Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the share capital of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its shares and/or assets or other transaction (including, without limitation, a sale of substantially all of its assets followed by a liquidation) shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shares, securities or other assets or property (a “Change”), then, as a condition of such Change, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding Common Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Change.  The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property.  The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to give effect to the adj ustments provided for in this Section 3 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant.  The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall similarly apply to successive Changes. 

4.             Ownership and Transfer.

4.1           Ownership of This Warrant.  The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in this Section 4.

4.2           Transfer and Replacement.  This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part upon the books of the Company by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and a new Warrant or Warrants, of the same tenor as this Warrant but registered in the name of the transferee or transferees (and in the name of the Holder, if a partial transfer is effected) shall be made and delivered by the Company upon surrender of this Warrant duly endorsed, at the office of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof.   Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft or destruction, and, in such case, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender of this Warrant if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant; provided that if the Holder hereof is an instrumentality of a state or local government or an institutional holder or a nominee for such an instrumentality or institutional holder an irrevocable agreement of indemnity by such Holder shall be sufficient for all purposes of this Warrant, and no evidence of loss or theft or destruction shall be necessary.  This Warrant shall be promptly cancelled by the Company upon the surrender hereof in connection with any transfer or replacement.  Except as otherwise provided above, in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of a Warrant, the Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with any transfer or replacement of this Warrant, other than income taxes and stock transfer taxes (if any) payable in connection with a transfer of this Warrant, which shall be payable by the Holder.  Holder will not transfer this Warrant and the rights hereunder except in compliance with federal and state securities laws and except after providing evidence of such compliance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

1.7           Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant.  In the event of a fractional interest, the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.  

2.             Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

2.1           Representations and Warranties.

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation and has all necessary power and authority to perform its obligations under this Warrant;

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Warrant has been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms; and

(c) This Warrant does not violate and is not in conflict with any of the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Certificate of Determination, Bylaws and any resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors or stockholders, or any agreement of the Company, and no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance exists that might (with or without notice or lapse of time) constitute or result directly or indirectly in such a violation or conflict.

2.2           Issuance of Shares.  The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.  The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state taxes which may be pa yable in respect of the issue of this Warrant or any Common Stock or certificates therefor issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise in full of the rights represented by this Warrant.  If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of the Warrant in full, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3 hereto, then the Company will take all such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, be necessary or advisable to increase the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to permit the exercise of the Warrant in full, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3 hereto, including without limitation, using its best efforts to obtain any necessary stockholder approval of such increase.  The Company further covenants and agrees that if any shares of capital stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of shares upon the exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.  If and so long as the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant is listed on any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or market, list and keep listed on such exchange or market, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

3.             Other Adjustments.

3.1           Subdivision or Combination of Shares.  In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and the number of Shares subject to this Warrant shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in case the outstanding Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, and the number of Shares subject to this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.

3.2           Dividends in Common Stock, Other Stock or Property.  If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor:

(a) Common Stock, Options or any shares or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution (other than options awarded in the ordinary course of business to employees, directors or consultants with a fair market value exercise price);

(b) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a regular cash dividend; or

(c) Common Stock or additional shares or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3.1 above) and additional shares, other securities or property issued in connection with a Change (as defined below) (which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3.4 below), then and in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in add ition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clause (b) above and this clause (c)) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property.

3.3           Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the share capital of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its shares and/or assets or other transaction (including, without limitation, a sale of substantially all of its assets followed by a liquidation) shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shares, securities or other assets or property (a “Change”), then, as a condition of such Change, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding Common Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Change.  The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property.  The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to give effe ct to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant.  The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall similarly apply to successive Changes. 

4.             Ownership and Transfer.

EX-10.46 10 ex10_46.htm EXHIBIT 10.46 Exhibit 10.46

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT dated as of June 16, 2005, between MERCATOR MOMENTUM FUND, L.P., MERCATOR MOMENTUM FUND III, L.P, MONARCH POINTE FUND, LTD. (collectively, the "Funds") and MERCATOR ADVISORY GROUP, LLC ("MAG") (the Funds and MAG are referred to individually as a "Holder" and collectively as the "Holders"), and M-Wave, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the "Company").

WHEREAS, each Fund and MAG have acquired Warrants (together, the "Warrants") from the Company, pursuant to which the Holders have the right to purchase in the aggregate up to 601,450 shares of the Common Stock through the exercise of the Warrants; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Holders the registration rights set forth herein with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:

1.            Registrable Securities. As used herein the terms "Registrable Security" means each of the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares"), provided, however, that with respect to any particular Registrable Security, such security shall cease to be a Registrable Security when, as of the date of determination that (a) it has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and disposed of pursuant thereto, or (b) registration under the Securities Act is no longer required for the immediate public distribution of such security. The term "Registrable Securities" means any and/or all of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of a "Registrable Security." In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the definition of "Registrable Security" as is appropriate in order to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the rights granted pursuant to this Section 1.

2.            Registration.

(a)          The Holders shall have the right to demand, on or after February 1, 2006, that the Company shall file a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in order to register the resale of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act. The Company shall file the Registration Statement with the SEC within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand. Once effective, the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold, or (ii) the date that the Company receives an opinion of counsel to the Company that all of the Registrable Securities may be freely traded without registration under the Securities Act, under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or otherwise.



(b)           The Company will initially include in the Registration Statement as Registrable Securities Six Hundred One Thousand Four Hundred Fifty (601,450) shares of Common Stock.

3.            Covenants of the Company with Respect to Registration.

The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

(a)          The Company shall use best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective with the SEC as promptly as possible and in no event more than 90 days after filing the Registration Statement with the SEC. If any stop order shall be issued by the SEC in connection therewith, the Company shall use best efforts to obtain promptly the removal of such order. Following the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall, upon the request of any Holder, forthwith supply such reasonable number of copies of the Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus and prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act, and any other documents necessary or incidental to the public offering of the Registrable Securities, as shall be reasonably requested by the Holder to permit the Holder to make a public distribution of the Holder's Registrable Securities. The obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to the Holder's Registrable Securities are subject to the Holder's furnishing to the Company such appropriate information concerning the Holder, the Holder's Registrable Securities and the terms of the Holder's offering of such Registrable Securities as the Company may reasonably request in writing.

(b)          The Company shall pay all costs, fees and expenses in connection with the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof including, without limitation, the Company's legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, and blue sky fees and expenses; provided, however, that each Holder shall be solely responsible for the fees of any counsel retained by the Holder in connection with such registration and any transfer taxes or underwriting discounts, commissions or fees applicable to the Registrable Securities sold by the Holder pursuant thereto.

(c)          The Company will take all actions which may be required to qualify or register the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement for the offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as are reasonably requested by each Holder of such securities, provided that the Company shall not be obligated to execute or file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such jurisdiction.

(d)          In the event that the Company fails to (i) file the Registration Statement on or before thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand (or prior to such written demand in the Company's sole discretion), or (ii) cause the Registration Statement to be deemed effective by the SEC prior to the later of 90 days after filing or May 1, 2006, then the Company shall pay $1,600 for each day until such default is cured. The default payment shall be allocated among the Holders in accordance with instructions received from the Holders. The agreement contained in this Section 3(d) applies solely to the Registration Statement, and not to any prior registration statements filed or agreed to be filed by the Company, and such payment shall in no way


-2-



constitute evidence of any actual or other damage to the Holders or any other party with respect to any such prior registration statements.

4.             Additional Terms.

(a)          The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holders and each underwriter, within the meaning of the Securities Act, who may purchase from or sell for any Holder, any Registrable Securities, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any other registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities, any post-effective amendment to such registration statements, or any prospectus included therein or caused by any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished or required to be furnished in writing to the Company by the Holders or underwriter expressly for use therein, which indemnification shall include each person, if any, who controls any Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and each officer, director, employee and agent of each Holder and underwriter; provided, however, that the indemnification in this Section 4(a) with respect to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or underwriter (or to the benefit of any person controlling any Holder or underwriter) on account of any such loss, claim, damage or liability arising from the sale of Registrable Securities by the Holder or underwriter, if a copy of a subsequent prospectus correcting the untrue statement or omission in such earlier prospectus was provided to such Holder or underwriter by the Company prior to the subject sale and the subsequent prospectus was not delivered or sent by the Holder or underwriter to the purchaser prior to such sale and provided further, that the Company shall not be obligated to so indemnify any Holder or any such underwriter or other person referred to above unless the Holder or underwriter or other person, as the case may be, shall at the same time indemnify the Company, its directors, each officer signing the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any registration statement or any prospectus required to be filed or furnished by reason of this Agreement or caused by any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder or underwriter expressly for use therein.

(b)          if for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding section is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.


-3-



(c)          Neither the filing of a Registration Statement by the Company pursuant to this Agreement nor the making of any request for prospectuses by the Holder shall impose upon any Holder any obligation to sell the Holder's Registrable Securities.

(d)          Each Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Company that an event has occurred which requires a Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the prospectus included therein, shall promptly discontinue the sale of Registrable Securities until the Holder receives a copy of a supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company, which the Company shall provide as soon as practicable after such notice.

(e)          If the Company fails to keep the Registration Statement refen-ed to above continuously effective during the requisite period, then the Company shall, promptly upon the request of any Holder, use best efforts to update the Registration Statement or file a new registration statement covering the Registrable Securities remaining unsold, subject to the terms and provisions hereof.

(f)          Each Holder agrees to provide the Company with any information or undertakings reasonably requested by the Company in order for the Company to include any appropriate information concerning the Holder in the Registration Statement or in order to promote compliance by the Company or the Holder with the Securities Act.

(g)          The Company agrees that it shall cause each of its directors, officers and shareholders owning ten percent (10%) or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock to refrain from selling any shares of the Company's Common Stock until the Registration Statement has been declared effective.

(h)          Each Holder, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, hereby covenants and agrees not to, directly or indirectly, offer to "short sell", contract to "short sell" or otherwise "short sell" any securities of the Company, including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock that will be received as a result of the conversion of the Series A Stock or the exercise of the Warrants.

5.            Governing Law. The Registrable Securities will be, if and when issued, delivered in California. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and delivered in the State of California and shall be governed as to validity, interpretation, construction, effect and in all other respects by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the choice of law rules thereof.

6.            Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended by a written instrument executed by the Company and the Holders.

7.            Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the parties, oral and written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

8.            Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.
