Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 30, 2006, Registrant entered into a Plan of Merger and Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with ALCiS Health, Inc., a California corporation (“ALCiS-CA”) and a newly-created wholly-owned subsidiary of Registrant, Delta Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for a reverse triangular merger (the “Merger”) scheduled to close on March 31, 2006, in which (1) Sub is to merge into ALCiS-CA, with ALCiS-CA being the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Registrant, and (2) ALCiS shareholders and holders of other equity interests are to receive shares and other equity in Registrant in lieu of their ALCiS-CA shares and equity such that after the Merger they would own in excess of 96% of Registrant’s outstanding stock. The Merger is described in more detail below, with such description qualified in its entirety by the Merger Agreement which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.

Should the Merger occur, Registrant would be controlled by the former shareholders of ALCiS-CA. Two of Registrant’s directors, Dermot Butler and Lawrence Cottingham, would resign while the other two of Registrant’s directors, Allen Campbell and Jerry Jarrell, would continue to serve as directors. The five current directors of ALCiS would join the board of directors of Registrant. Messrs. Campbell and Jarrell would resign as Registrant’s officers and would be replaced by the officers of ALCiS-CA. The business of Registrant would change to become the business of ALCiS-CA, which is researching, developing, marketing, and distributing body therapy solutions, including but not limited to the area of pain management products such as topical analgesics. It is anticipated that the Merger, for accounting and financial reporting purposes, would be accounted for as an acquisition of Registrant by ALCiS-CA. As such, ALCiS-CA would be the accounting acquirer in the Merger, and the historical financial statements of ALCiS-CA will be the financial statements for Registrant following the Merger.

As part of the Merger, after the Merger, it is anticipated that Registrant’s certificate of incorporation would be amended to decrease the par value of Registrant’s stock from $1.00 per share to $0.001, to increase the number of Registrant’s authorized common shares from 2,000,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares, and to change Registrant’s name to ALCiS Health, Inc. In addition, it is anticipated that Registrant would declare a 5.25 to 1 common stock dividend, which would have the effect of a 6.25 to 1 common stock split. Thus, Registrant’s currently outstanding 43,600 shares would become 272,500 shares, while ALCiS-CA shareholders would own 7,149,006 shares of Registrant’s common stock. Furthermore, Registrant would assume ALCiS-CA’s outstanding warrants, stock options, and option plan and would grant options to Registrant’s current four directors. As a result, Registrant would have outstanding 1,056,400 common warrants and 538,750 options under an option plan of 1,300,000 shares. The outstanding options of Registrant held by Messrs. Butler and Cottingham would terminate while the outstanding options of Registrant held by Messrs. Campbell and Jarrell, 39,375 as adjusted to reflect the 5.25 to 1 common stock dividend, would continue.

Messrs. Jarrell and Campbell have been assisting Registrant to raise moneys. As a condition of the Merger, it is required that Registrant close an offering of at least $1.5 million and it is anticipated that Registrant would complete a $2.05 million offering, which is reflected in the above data. In consideration for such assistance and their past services to Registrant, shortly after the Merger, Messrs. Jarrell and Campbell would receive 75,000 and 125,000 ten-year options, respectively, with an exercise price of $2.00 per share, of which 50% would be full fully vested and the other 50% would vest in one year. In addition, shortly after the Merger, Messrs. Jarrell and Campbell would each receive 60,000 ten-year options in connection with their services as directors of Registrant, with an exercise price of $2.00 per share and vesting over the next three years in quarterly installments of 5,000 shares. Messrs. Butler and Cottingham would each receive fully-vested options to purchase 9,375 shares of Registrant’s stock with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. All such options are included in the 538,750 total of Registrant outstanding options under its option plan described above. Mr. Jarrell has lent ALCiS-CA $50,000, which has been converted into 25,000 Series B Preferred shares that would in turn convert into 25,000 common shares of Registrant in the Merger after giving effect to the 5.25 to 1 common stock dividend. As part of the note conversion, Mr. Jarrell also received 10,000 warrants, half exercisable at $2.00 per share and half exercisable at $3.75 per share. ALCiS-CA has agreed to reimburse Mr. Campbell for up to $10,000 of expenses he incurred in connection with the fundraising and to reimburse Messrs. Campbell and Jarrell for their prior-approved travel expenses incurred in assisting with the offering.

(j) the Surviving Corporation shall thenceforth be responsible and liable for all liabilities and obligations of each of Target and Acquisition Sub and any claim existing or action or proceeding pending by or against either of Target or Acquisition Sub may be prosecuted as if the Merger had not taken place and the Surviving Corporation had been substituted in its place. Neither the rights of creditors nor liens upon the property of either Target or Acquisition Sub shall be impaired by the Merger.

1.4 Conversion of Target Stock. At the Effective Time of the Merger, the shares of the Target Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and Series B Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, issued to and then outstanding and held by shareholders of Target (“Target Stock”) shall be converted into the right to receive .16 of one outstanding share of Acquisition Parent common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Acquisition Parent Common Stock”), and, as a result, the former shareholders of Target shall own such number of shares of the issued and outstanding Acquisition Parent Common Stock as are set forth for each former Target shareholder on Schedule 1.4. Any fractional shares resulting from this exchange formula shall be rounded down to the nearest share. No cash in lieu of fractional shares will be paid.

1.6 Conversion of Target Warrants, Options, and Rights; Assumption of Target Plan by Acquisition Parent.

(a) At the Effective Time of the Merger, each warrant of Target (the “Target Warrants”) and each option of Target (the “Target Options”) to purchase one share of Target stock (either common or preferred) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be converted automatically into one (1) warrant or option to purchase .16 of one share of Acquisition Parent Common Stock at an option or conversion price equal to 6.25 times the current exercise price. All other terms of the Target Options and Target Warrants shall remain unchanged. Each holder of contractual anti-dilution rights issued in the offering of Target Common Stock which closes on or after the Plan Date but prior to the

 

-3-

The number of warrants and options and the adjusted exercise prices relative thereto for each owner of options and warrants is set forth on Schedule 1.6 and the holders and number of contractual anti-dilution rights will be added to Schedule 1.6 prior to the Effective Time. Any fractional shares resulting from such exchange shall be rounded down to the nearest share.

(b) At the Effective Time, Acquisition Parent shall assume Target’s 2004 Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”), and the number of shares of Acquisition Parent Common Stock reserved thereunder shall be the number of shares of Target Common Stock reserved thereunder times .16. Any options issued pursuant to the 2004 Plan which are outstanding at the Effective Time of the Merger will be adjusted as described in Section 1.6(a). The duration and other terms of the 2004 Planshall remain the same, provided that all references to Target shall be deemed to be references to Acquisition Parent.

1.7 Cancellation of Treasury Stock. Target is a California corporation, Target shall not have any treasury shares.

1.8 Exchange of Certificates. At the Effective Time of the Merger, Target shall cause each of its shareholders to surrender their stock certificates representing shares of Target Stock for cancellation and such shareholders shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Target Stock, and upon such surrender, shall be entitled to receive the share certificates and warrants of Acquisition Parent Common Stock described in Section 1.4, above, which share certificates and warrant agreements shall be issued to Target shareholders by Acquisition Parent’s transfer agent and by Acquisition Parent, respectively, within 90 days of the Effective Time. At the Effective Time of the Merger, Acquisition Parent shall surrender its stock certificates representing the Acquisition Sub Stock for cancellation, and upon such surrender, shall be entitled to receive stock certificates representing the Target Common Stock into which the Acquisition Sub Stock has been converted, in accordance with Section 1.5, above. Following the Effective Time of the Merger, the current holders of Target Stock shall cease to have ownership rights in Target or directly in Surviving Corporation and such shares of Target Stock shall only represent the right to exchange such shares for shares of Acquisition Parent Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Section 1.4 hereof.

1.9 Certificate and Agreement of Merger. A Certificate of Merger and an Agreement of Merger, substantially in the form of Exhibits A-1 and A-2 to this Agreement (the “Certificates of Merger”) shall be executed and delivered on behalf of Target and Acquisition Sub and submitted to the Secretaries of State of the State of Delaware (A-1) and California (A-2) for filing upon the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent to the consummation of the Merger provided in this Agreement.

(A) Company Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive Parent equity as follows. The shares of Company Common Stock and Preferred Stock issued to and then outstanding and held by shareholders of the Company shall be converted into the right to receive .16 of one outstanding share of Parent common stock, $1.00 par value per share, with any fractional shares resulting from this exchange formula rounded down to the nearest share. No cash in lieu of fractional shares will be paid. In addition, at the Effective Time, as part of such conversion, each holder of one share of Company Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Merger will receive one Series A Warrant or Series B Warrant of Parent, respectively.

(B) Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of Merger Sub Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and continue as one share of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

At the Effective Time of the Merger, each warrant of the Company and each option of the Company to purchase one share of Company Common Stock or Preferred Stock that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be converted automatically into one (1) warrant or option to purchase .16 of one share of Parent common stock at an option or conversion price equal to 6.25 times the current exercise price. Any fractional shares resulting from such exchange shall be rounded down to the nearest share. All other terms of such options and warrants shall remain unchanged. Each holder of contractual anti-dilution rights in the offering of Company Common Stock which closes on or after the Agreement Date but prior to the Effective Time will receive one Series B Warrant per share of Company Common stock purchased in such offering. At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the Company’s 2004 Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”), and the number of shares of Parent common stock reserved thereunder shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock reserved thereunder times .16. The duration and other terms of the 2004 Plan shall remain the same, provided that all references to the Company shall be deemed to be references to Parent.

MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Further Action.

SERIES A WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

OF

ALCiS HEALTH, INC.

Introduction

             (“Holder”) was the holder of              shares of Series A Preferred Stock of ALCiS Health, Inc., a California corporation (“ALCiS-CA”), such number of shares being referred to as the “Number”. Holder had or was to obtain ratchet anti-dilution protection in connection with such shares based upon a price of $1.00 per share (the “Issue Price”). This warrant is being granted to Holder to replace such protection which would otherwise have been lost in connection with a merger involving ALCiS-CA in which Holder obtained shares of common stock of ALCiS Health, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

Agreement

This certifies that Holder is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to purchase from the Company, in whole or in part, fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of its $1.00 par value common stock (“Common Stock”) at the Exercise Price (as defined in Section 2) from time to time. The number, character and Exercise Price of such shares of Common Stock are subject to adjustment as provided below and all references to “Warrant Shares” and “Exercise Price” herein shall be deemed to include any such adjustment or series of adjustments. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall mean this Warrant, and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.

1. Term of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5:00 p.m., Pacific standard time, on the earlier of (i) six (6) months following the effective date of a registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering Common Stock of the Company, (ii) upon trading of Company Common Stock in a public market or (iii) March 31, 2009. This Warrant shall expire prior to the end of Exercise Period if and when it has been exercised in full.

 

-1-


2. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be equal to the then par value of the Warrant Shares, which is currently $1.00 but is expected to become $0.001 shortly.

3. Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant shall become exercisable each time the Company issues stock other than “Excluded Shares” for a consideration below the then “Strike Price” as such terms are defined below. Excluded Shares are (i) shares issued pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan, not to exceed 1,300,000 shares or any greater amount approved by a vote of the Common Stock, voting as a separate class (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization or like event of the Company), (ii) shares issued as placement fees relating to the sale of Common Stock, (iii) shares given in conjunction with the purchase of technology from the patent holder/manufacturer of Company products, (iv) shares issued pursuant to the approval by a two-thirds vote of Common Stock shareholders, voting as a separate class (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization or like event of the Company) which approval includes that this Warrant and warrants similar to this Warrant not become exercisable as a result of such issuance. The Strike Price shall initially be the Issue Price. The Strike Price shall be adjusted from time to time to become any price per share lower than the then current Strike Price at which the Company issues stock other than Excluded Shares. The number of shares as to which this Warrant shall become exercisable shall be equal to the Number times the difference between (a) the ratio of the Strike Price immediately before the triggering issuance to the Strike Price immediately after the triggering issuance and (b) one (1). For example, if the Company were to issue any non-Excluded Shares at $0.50 per share, then the Warrant would become exercisable for the Number of shares of Common Stock. Upon each such triggering issuance, the Company shall give notice the Holder and the Warrant shall become exercisable for thirty (30) days thereafter. For these purposes, the consideration received for shares being issued by the Company shall be determined by the Company board of directors, whose determination shall be final, binding, and conclusive for these purposes.

This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder by delivery of a photocopy of this Warrant to the Company, with an originally executed copy of the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) during the Exercise Period, and the delivery of payment to the Company, for the account of the Company, by cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account specified by the Company, or by certified or bank cashier’s check, of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice in lawful money of the United States of America.

The Company agrees that such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for the Warrant Shares as aforesaid. A stock certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form shall be delivered to the Holder as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) days, thereafter. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the stock certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing

 

-2-


the rights to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. No adjustments shall be made on Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant for any cash dividends paid or payable to holders of record of Common Stock prior to the date as of which the Holder shall be deemed to be the record holder of such Warrant Shares. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes, and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of stock certificates pursuant to this Section 3.

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

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

6. Rights of Shareholder. Subject to Sections 9 and 11 of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance of assets, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.

7. Transfer of Warrant.

A. Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the names and addresses of the Holder or Holders. Any Holder of this Warrant or any portion thereof may change his address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting such change. Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be delivered or given by mail to such Holder as shown on the Warrant Register and at the address shown on the Warrant Register. Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

B. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 7(A) above,

 

-3-


issuing the Warrant Shares or other securities then issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant, or any or all of the foregoing. Thereafter, any such registration, issuance, exchange, or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at the office of such agent.

C. Transferability and Nonnegotiability of Warrant. This Warrant may be transferred persons receiving shares described in the Introduction to this Warrant if such persons are “affiliates” of the Holder, as defined in Rule 405, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or, with the prior written consent of the Company, to other persons, provided that such transferee agrees to be bound by the other restrictions on transfer applicable to the Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if such are requested by the Company). However, no investment representation letter or opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer of this Warrant (or any portion thereof) or any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise hereof in compliance with Rule 144(k) and no opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer of this Warrant (or any portion thereof) in compliance with Rule 144A; provided that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 7(C). Subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the Holder executing the Assignment Form annexed hereto) and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery.

D. Exchange of Warrant Upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed on the Assignment Form and subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Act and with the limitations on assignments and transfers and contained in this Section 7, the Company at its expense shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof.

E. Compliance with Securities Laws.

i. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, represents that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as presently in effect.

ii. The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant is being, and the Warrant Shares would be, acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale.

 

-4-


iii. This Warrant and Warrant Shares shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws):

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SECURITIES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER OR SALE MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD HEREOF TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES.

The Company agrees to remove promptly, upon the request of the holder of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, the legend set forth in Section 7(E)(iii) above from the documents/certificates for such securities upon full compliance with this Agreement and either Rule 144(k) or after a sale in the public market in compliance with Rule 144.

8. Reservation of Stock. The Company covenants that during the term this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Articles of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock for the issuance of the Warrant Shares. The Company further covenants that all Warrant Shares, upon exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price, all as set forth herein, will be free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein).

9. Notices.

A. In case:

i. the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right;

ii. of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or

 

-5-


iii. of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder or Holders a notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (B) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed no later than the time similar notice is mailed to the holders of Company Common Stock.

B. All such notices, advices and communications as required by the terms of this Warrant shall be made and be deemed to have been received (i) in the case of personal delivery, on the date of such delivery, (ii) in the case of next day courier service such as Federal Express, one business day after it is delivered to the courier service for US addresses and two business days for foreign addresses, and (iii) in the case of mailing by certified mail, on the third business day following the date of such mailing if sent to a U.S. address and on the tenth (10th) business day following the date of such mailing if sent to an address outside the U.S.

10. Amendments. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company or the Holder of the Warrant against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought; provided, however, that this Warrant may also be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and approved by holders of warrants similar to this Warrant whose warrants comprise a majority of the sum of the “Number” covered by all such warrants. An amendment of rights, preferences, or privileges of the Common Stock, including a change in the par value of the Common Stock; an event described in Section 9A or 11A of this Warrant; or any other like action shall not be treated as an amendment of this Warrant. 11. Adjustments. The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: A. Reclassification, etc. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by reorganization or reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 11.

B. Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different

 

-6-


number of securities of the same class, then (i) in the case of a split or subdivision, the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased (by an adjustment to the Number), and (ii) in the case of a combination, the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased(by an adjustment to the Number). There shall be no adjustment in the Exercise Price (unless the par value changes accordingly).

C. Adjustments for Distributions in Stock or Other Securities or Property. If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired the holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible Shareholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company by way of dividend or otherwise, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company that such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the planned 5.25 common stock dividend of the Company, if and when effected, shall be treated as a 6.25 to 1 stock split and the Number shall accordingly be multiplied by 6.25 (and the Exercise Price shall not change unless the par value changes).

D. Mergers, Consolidation, or Asset Sale. This Warrant shall terminate on any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of its assets to another corporation, in which the Company is not the surviving entity other than a merger to effect a change in domicile of the Company.

E. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 11, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.

SERIES B WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

OF

ALCiS HEALTH, INC.

Introduction

                                              (“Holder”) [was the holder of              shares of Series B Preferred Stock] [subscribed during March, 2006, to purchase              shares of Common Stock]** of ALCiS Health, Inc., a California corporation (“ALCiS-CA”), such number of shares being referred to as the “Number”). Holder had or was to obtain ratchet anti-dilution protection in connection with such shares based upon a price of $2.00 per share (the “Issue Price”). This warrant is being granted to Holder to replace such protection which would otherwise have been lost in connection with a merger involving ALCiS-CA in which Holder obtained shares of common stock of ALCiS Health, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 


** Cross-Out whichever bracketed phrase is inapplicable

Agreement

This certifies that Holder is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to purchase from the Company, in whole or in part, fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of its $1.00 par value common stock (“Common Stock”) at the Exercise Price (as defined in Section 2) from time to time. The number, character and Exercise Price of such shares of Common Stock are subject to adjustment as provided below and all references to “Warrant Shares” and “Exercise Price” herein shall be deemed to include any such adjustment or series of adjustments. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall mean this Warrant, and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.

1. Term of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5:00 p.m., Pacific standard time, on the earlier of (i) six (6) months following the effective date of a registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed by the Company with

 

-1-


the Securities and Exchange Commission covering Common Stock of the Company, (ii) upon trading of Company Common Stock in a public market or (iii) March 31, 2009. This Warrant shall expire prior to the end of Exercise Period if and when it has been exercised in full.

2. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be equal to the then par value of the Warrant Shares, which is currently $1.00 but is expected to become $0.001 shortly.

3. Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant shall become exercisable each time the Company issues stock other than “Excluded Shares” for a consideration below the then “Strike Price” as such terms are defined below. Excluded Shares are (i) shares issued pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan, not to exceed 1,300,000 shares or any greater amount approved by a vote of the Common Stock, voting as a separate class (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization or like event of the Company), (ii) shares issued as placement fees relating to the sale of Common Stock, (iii) shares given in conjunction with the purchase of technology from the patent holder/manufacturer of Company products, (iv) shares issued pursuant to the approval by a two-thirds vote of Common Stock shareholders, voting as a separate class (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization or like event of the Company) which approval includes that this Warrant and warrants similar to this Warrant not become exercisable as a result of such issuance. The Strike Price shall initially be the Issue Price. The Strike Price shall be adjusted from time to time to become any price per share lower than the then current Strike Price at which the Company issues stock other than Excluded Shares. The number of shares as to which this Warrant shall become exercisable shall be equal to the Number times the difference between (a) the ratio of the Strike Price immediately before the triggering issuance to the Strike Price immediately after the triggering issuance and (b) one (1). For example, if the Company were to issue any non-Excluded Shares at $0.50 per share, then the Warrant would become exercisable for three times the Number of shares of Common Stock. Upon each such triggering issuance, the Company shall give notice the Holder and the Warrant shall become exercisable for thirty (30) days thereafter. For these purposes, the consideration received for shares being issued by the Company shall be determined by the Company board of directors, whose determination shall be final, binding, and conclusive for these purposes.

This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder by delivery of a photocopy of this Warrant to the Company, with an originally executed copy of the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) during the Exercise Period, and the delivery of payment to the Company, for the account of the Company, by cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account specified by the Company, or by certified or bank cashier’s check, of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice in lawful money of the United States of America.

The Company agrees that such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for the Warrant Shares as aforesaid. A stock certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form shall be delivered to the Holder as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) days,

 

-2-


thereafter. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the stock certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. No adjustments shall be made on Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant for any cash dividends paid or payable to holders of record of Common Stock prior to the date as of which the Holder shall be deemed to be the record holder of such Warrant Shares. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes, and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of stock certificates pursuant to this Section 3.

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

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

6. Rights of Shareholder. Subject to Sections 9 and 11 of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance of assets, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.

7. Transfer of Warrant.

A. Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the names and addresses of the Holder or Holders. Any Holder of this Warrant or any portion thereof may change his address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting such change. Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be delivered or given by mail to such Holder as shown on the Warrant Register and at the address shown on the Warrant Register. Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

B. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an

 

-3-


agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 7(A) above, issuing the Warrant Shares or other securities then issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant, or any or all of the foregoing. Thereafter, any such registration, issuance, exchange, or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at the office of such agent.

C. Transferability and Nonnegotiability of Warrant. This Warrant may be transferred persons receiving shares described in the Introduction to this Warrant if such persons are “affiliates” of the Holder, as defined in Rule 405, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or, with the prior written consent of the Company, to other persons, provided that such transferee agrees to be bound by the other restrictions on transfer applicable to the Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if such are requested by the Company). However, no investment representation letter or opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer of this Warrant (or any portion thereof) or any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise hereof in compliance with Rule 144(k) and no opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer of this Warrant (or any portion thereof) in compliance with Rule 144A; provided that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 7(C). Subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the Holder executing the Assignment Form annexed hereto) and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery.

D. Exchange of Warrant Upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed on the Assignment Form and subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Act and with the limitations on assignments and transfers and contained in this Section 7, the Company at its expense shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof.

E. Compliance with Securities Laws.

i. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, represents that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as presently in effect.

ii. The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant is being, and the Warrant Shares would be, acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form

 

-4-


satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale.

iii. This Warrant and Warrant Shares shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws):

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SECURITIES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER OR SALE MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD HEREOF TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES.

The Company agrees to remove promptly, upon the request of the holder of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, the legend set forth in Section 7(E)(iii) above from the documents/certificates for such securities upon full compliance with this Agreement and either Rule 144(k) or after a sale in the public market in compliance with Rule 144.

8. Reservation of Stock. The Company covenants that during the term this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Articles of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock for the issuance of the Warrant Shares. The Company further covenants that all Warrant Shares, upon exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price, all as set forth herein, will be free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein).

9. Notices.

A. In case:

i. the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right;

ii. of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or

 

-5-


iii. of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder or Holders a notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (B) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed no later than the time similar notice is mailed to the holders of Company Common Stock.

B. All such notices, advices and communications as required by the terms of this Warrant shall be made and be deemed to have been received (i) in the case of personal delivery, on the date of such delivery, (ii) in the case of next day courier service such as Federal Express, one business day after it is delivered to the courier service for US addresses and two business days for foreign addresses, and (iii) in the case of mailing by certified mail, on the third business day following the date of such mailing if sent to a U.S. address and on the tenth (10th) business day following the date of such mailing if sent to an address outside the U.S.

10. Amendments. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company or the Holder of the Warrant against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought; provided, however, that this Warrant may also be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and approved by holders of warrants similar to this Warrant whose warrants comprise a majority of the sum of the “Number” covered by all such warrants. An amendment of rights, preferences, or privileges of the Common Stock, including a change in the par value of the Common Stock; an event described in Section 9A or 11A of this Warrant; or any other like action shall not be treated as an amendment of this Warrant.

11. Adjustments. The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

A. Reclassification, etc. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by reorganization or reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 11.

 

-6-


B. Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, then (i) in the case of a split or subdivision, the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased (by an adjustment to the Number), and (ii) in the case of a combination, the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased (by an adjustment to the Number). There shall be no adjustment in the Exercise Price (unless the par value changes accordingly).

C. Adjustments for Distributions in Stock or Other Securities or Property. If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired the holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible Shareholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company by way of dividend or otherwise, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company that such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the planned 5.25 common stock dividend of the Company, if and when effected, shall be treated as a 6.25 to 1 stock split and the Number shall accordingly be multiplied by 6.25 (and the Exercise Price shall not change unless the par value changes).

D. Mergers, Consolidation, or Asset Sale. This Warrant shall terminate on any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of its assets to another corporation, in which the Company is not the surviving entity other than a merger to effect a change in domicile of the Company.

E. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 11, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request, at any time, of any such Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect; and (iii) the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

F. No Impairment. The Company will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions

 

-7-


of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. An event described above in this subsections A, B, C, and D of this Section 11 for which appropriate adjustment is made or an event described in Section 9A of which the Holder is given timely notice pursuant to Section 9, shall not be deemed under any circumstance to be an impairment of this Warrant.

12. Miscellaneous.

A. This Warrant shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California as applied to agreements entered into in the State of California by and among residents of the State of California, without reference to the conflicts of laws provisions therein.

B. In the event of a dispute with regard to the interpretation of this Warrant, the prevailing party may collect the cost of attorney’s fees, litigation expenses or such other expenses as may be incurred in the enforcement of the prevailing party’s rights hereunder.

C. This Warrant shall be exercisable as provided for herein, except that in the event that the expiration date of this Warrant shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday and or United States federally recognized Holiday, the expiration date for this Warrant shall be extended to 5:00 p.m. Pacific standard time on the business day following such Saturday, Sunday or recognized Holiday.

D. This Warrant and any document or agreements executed by the parties pursuant to this Warrant constitute the full and complete understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements or understandings, written or oral, between the parties with respect thereto, including, without limitation, the Letter..

2. REGISTRATION RIGHTS

2.1 Company Registration

(a) Company Registration. If the Company elects to register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising their respective demand registration rights, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or a registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company shall:

(1) promptly give to each Holder written notice of such registration; and

(2) use the Company’s best efforts to include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), except as set forth in subsection (b) below, and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests made by any Holder and received by the Company within 20 days after the written notice from the Company described in clause (1) above is mailed or delivered by the Company.

Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s Registrable Securities.

(b) Underwriting

(1) If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to subsection (a)(1) above. In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the Other Stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the representative of the underwriters advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten after the inclusion of all of the shares that the Company desires to sell for its own behalf and all shares being sold for the account of a security holder or holders exercising their respective demand registration rights, the representative may exclude all Registrable Securities from, or limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in, the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and Section 2.6 will be applicable to determine the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting and their allocation among the Holders. If any person does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, he shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company or the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.

(3) If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors, the Company shall then offer to all persons who have retained the right to include securities in the registration the right to include additional securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among the persons requesting additional inclusion in accordance with Section 2.6.

2.2 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to Section 2.1 above shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that all Selling Expenses relating to securities so registered shall be borne by the holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of securities so registered on their behalf.

2.3 Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to in this Article 2.

2.4 Subsequent Registration Rights. Should the Company grant rights to Register securities to Other Holders that are more favorable to the Other Holders then the rights granted to the Holders under this Agreement, then the Company shall notify the Holders of such grant and the Holders shall have thirty (30) days to elect to replace their rights to Register securities under this Agreement with such rights granted to Other Holders.

2.5 Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to a Holder by the Company under this Article 2 may be transferred or assigned by a Holder only if such persons are “affiliates” of the Holder, as defined in Rule 405, as promulgated by the Commission or, with the prior written consent of the Company, to other persons, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the obligations imposed under this Agreement.

2.6 Allocation of Registration Opportunities. In any circumstance in which all of the Registrable Securities and other Common Shares with registration rights (the “Other Shares”) requested to be included in a registration on behalf of the Holders or Other Stockholders cannot be so included as a result of limitations of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be so included, the number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be so included shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders and Other Stockholders requesting inclusion of shares pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that would be held by such Holders and Other Stockholder, assuming exercise of warrants, divided by the total number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares requested to be included. The Company shall not limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Agreement in order to include shares held by stockholders with no registration rights. To facilitate the allocation of Shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of Shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 Shares.

2.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to take any action to restrain, enjoin, or otherwise delay any registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Article 2.

 

  5  


2.8 Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1 above shall terminate at such time that all Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon conversion by such Holder may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during any 90-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if not already expired, all rights under this Article 2 shall expire on March 31, 2008.
