1. (a) Subject to the terms of this Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised at any time in whole and from time to time in part, at the option of the Holder, on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or prior to the end of the Exercise Period. This Warrant shall initially be exercisable in whole or in part for that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as indicated on the first page of this Warrant, for an exercise price per share equal to the Exercise Price, by delivery to the Company at its office at 1129 North McDowell Blvd., Petaluma, California 94954, or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Company, of:
(i) a completed Election to Purchase, in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Holder exercising all or part of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant;

(b) As used herein:
(i) Fair Market Value of a security shall mean, on any given day, the average of the closing prices of such securitys sales on all securities exchanges on which such security may at the time be listed on such day, or, if there has been no sales on any such exchange on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on all such exchanges at the end of such day, or, if on such day such security is not so listed, the average of the representative bid and asked prices quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board (the OTCBB) as of 4:00 P.M., New York time, or, if on such day such security is not quoted on the OTCBB, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the Pink Sheet, LLC, or any similar successor organization. If at any time such security is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted on the OTCBB or the over-the-counter market, the Fair Market Value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, absent manifest error.
(c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time six months after the date of the issuance of this Warrant there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised only at such time by means of a cashless exercise in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the number as is computed using the following formula:
X = | Y (A-B) | |
A |
where
- 2 -
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Warrant.
Y = the number of Warrant Shares covered by this Warrant with respect to which the cashless exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 1(c).
A = the Fair Market Value (as defined above) of one Warrant Share.
B = the Exercise Price in effect at the time the cashless exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 1(c).
(d) Upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and cause promptly to be delivered upon such exercise to, or upon the written order of, the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a Warrant Share otherwise issuable upon such exercise.
(e) If this Warrant is exercised in respect of less than all of the Warrant Shares evidenced by this Warrant at any time prior to the end of the Exercise Period, a new Warrant evidencing the remaining Warrant Shares shall be issued to the Holder, or its nominee(s), without charge therefor.
2. The Exercise Price for the Warrants in effect from time to time shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (ii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iii) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(b) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidence of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which (i) the denominator shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned above and (ii) the numerator shall be such

Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such evidence of indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock, which fair market value shall be reduced by the fair market value of consideration, if any, paid to the Company by holders of Common Stock in exchange for such evidence of indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants so distributed, in each case as such Fair Market Value is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. In either case, the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of evidences of indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
(c) All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent.
(d) The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but may pay the value thereof to the Holder in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share.
(e) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in such price.
3. Unless registered, the Warrant Shares issued on exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to a stop transfer order and the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT THE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
4. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not
- 4 -
include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, without charge, of like date, tenor and denomination, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
5. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would cause a breach or violation of the Companys obligations under any applicable rules or regulations of any market on which the Companys securities trade.
6. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, such Holder (together with such Holders affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holders affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this section may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, and the provisions of this section shall continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this section to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
7. (a) The Holder shall not have, solely on account of its status as a holder of a Warrant, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.
- 5 -
(b) No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of Company, whether such liability is asserted by Company or by creditors of Company.
8. All notices that are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficient if personally delivered, sent by facsimile, or sent by registered or certified mail or Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service. Any notices shall be deemed given upon the earlier of the date when received at, the day when delivered via facsimile or the third day after the date when sent by registered or certified mail or the day after the date when sent by Federal Express to, the address set forth below, unless such address is changed by notice to the other party hereto:

Each party hereto accordingly agrees that each other party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Warrant, or any agreement contemplated hereunder, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction, in each instance without being required to post bond or other security and in addition to, and without having to prove the inadequacy of, other remedies at law.

1. (a) Subject to the terms of this Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised at any time in whole and from time to time in part, at the option of the Holder, on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or prior to the end of the Exercise Period. This Warrant shall initially be exercisable in whole or in part for that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as indicated on the first page of this Warrant, for an exercise price per share equal to the Exercise Price, by delivery to the Company at its office at 1129 North McDowell Blvd., Petaluma, California 94954, or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Company, of:
(i) a completed Election to Purchase, in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Holder exercising all or part of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant;

(b) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidence of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which (i) the denominator shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned above and (ii) the numerator shall be such Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such evidence of indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock, which fair market value shall be reduced by the fair market value of consideration, if any, paid to the Company by holders of Common Stock in exchange for such evidence of indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants so distributed, in each case as such Fair Market Value is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. In either case, the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of evidences of indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
(c) All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent.
(d) The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but may pay the value thereof to the Holder in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share.
(e) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in such price.
3. Unless registered, the Warrant Shares issued on exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to a stop transfer order and the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT THE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED
- 22 -
WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
4. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, without charge, of like date, tenor and denomination, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
5. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would cause a breach or violation of the Companys obligations under any applicable rules or regulations of any market on which the Companys securities trade.
6. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, such Holder (together with such Holders affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holders affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this section may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, and the provisions of this section shall continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this section to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
- 23 -
7. (a) The Holder shall not have, solely on account of its status as a holder of a Warrant, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.
(b) No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of Company, whether such liability is asserted by Company or by creditors of Company.
8.
