WARRANT

TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK




 




VOID

AFTER 5:30 P.M., EASTERN STANDARD




TIME, ON

THE EXPIRATION DATE




 




THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED

UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES

ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED,

HYPOTHECATED, DONATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLIANCE WITH THE

REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE

SECURITIES LAWS OR APPLICABLE EXEMPTIONS THEREFROM.




 




FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Refocus Group, Inc., a Delaware

corporation (the “Company”), hereby agrees to sell upon the terms and on the

conditions hereinafter set forth, but no later than 5:30 p.m., Eastern Standard

Time, on the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined) to NBCN Clearing Inc., in trust for

Kingsdale Capital Markets Inc., (“Kingsdale”) or registered assigns

(the “Holder”), under the terms as hereinafter set forth, four hundred thousand

(400,000) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock,

par value $.0001 per share (the “Warrant Stock”), at a purchase price per share

of Two and 50/100 Dollars ($2.50) (the “Warrant Price”), pursuant to this

warrant (this “Warrant”).  The number of

shares of Warrant Stock to be so issued and the Warrant Price are subject to

adjustment in certain events as hereinafter set forth.  The term “Common Stock” shall mean, when

used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, the stock and other

securities and property at the time receivable upon the exercise of this

Warrant.




 




This Warrant is being issued to Holder for services

rendered by Kingdsdale to the Company. 

This Warrant shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the

warrants issued to the purchasers of Company securities pursuant to that

certain Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated October 15, 2002, as

supplemented (the “Memorandum”). 

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the

respective meanings attributed thereto in Section 10.




 




1.             Exercise

of Warrant.




 




(a) The Holder may exercise this Warrant according to

its terms by surrendering this Warrant to the Company at the address set forth

in Section 11, the subscription form attached hereto having then been duly

executed by the Holder, accompanied by cash, certified check or bank draft in

payment of the purchase price, in lawful money of the United States of America,

for the number of shares of the Warrant Stock specified in the subscription

form, or as otherwise provided in this Warrant prior to 5:30 p.m., Eastern

Standard Time, on March 6, 2006 (the “Expiration Date”).




 





























 




(b) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part

so long as any exercise in part hereof would not involve the issuance of

fractional shares of Warrant Stock.  If

exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant,

identical in form, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase

the number of shares of Warrant Stock as to which this Warrant has not been

exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by the Chairman and Chief

Executive Officer or the President and the Secretary or the Assistant Secretary

of the Company.  The term Warrant as

used herein shall include any subsequent Warrant issued as provided herein.




 




(c) No fractional shares or scrip representing

fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  The Company shall pay cash in lieu of

fractions with respect to the Warrants based upon the fair market value of such

fractional shares of Common Stock (which shall be the closing price of such

shares on the exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then traded) at

the time of exercise of this Warrant.




 




(d) In the event of any exercise of the rights

represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant

Stock so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder, shall be delivered to

the Holder within a reasonable time after such rights shall have been so

exercised.  The person or entity in

whose name any certificate for the Warrant Stock is issued upon exercise of the

rights represented by this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have

become the holder of record of such shares immediately prior to the close of

business on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the

Warrant Price and any applicable taxes was made, irrespective of the date of

delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and

payment is 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 opening

of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are

open.  Except as provided in Section 4

hereof, the Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or

transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common

Stock on exercise of this Warrant.




 




2.             Disposition

of Warrant Stock and Warrant.




 




(a)

The Holder hereby acknowledges that this Warrant and any Warrant Stock

purchased pursuant hereto are not being registered (i) under the Act on the

ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration under

Section 4(2) of the Act as not involving any public offering or (ii) under any

applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not

involve any public offering; and that the Company’s reliance on the Section

4(2) exemption of the Act and under applicable state securities laws is

predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the

Holder that it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Stock for

investment for its own account, with no present intention of dividing its

participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing the same, subject,

nevertheless, to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property

shall at all times be within its control.




 




2





























 




The

Holder hereby agrees that it will not sell or transfer all or any part of this

Warrant and/or Warrant Stock unless and until it shall first have given notice

to the Company describing such sale or transfer and furnished to the Company

either (i) an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of

counsel (skilled in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably

satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed sale or transfer

may be made without registration under the Act and without registration or

qualification under any state law, or (ii) an interpretative letter from the

Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that no enforcement action

will be recommended if the proposed sale or transfer is made without

registration under the Act.




 




(b) If, at the time of issuance of the shares issuable

upon exercise of this Warrant, no registration statement is in effect with

respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Act, the Company may

at its election require that the Holder provide the Company with written

reconfirmation of the Holder’s investment intent and that any stock certificate

delivered to the Holder of a surrendered Warrant shall bear legends reading

substantially as follows:




 




“TRANSFER OF THE

SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET

FORTH IN THE WARRANT PURSUANT TO WHICH THESE SHARES WERE PURCHASED FROM THE

COMPANY.  COPIES OF THOSE RESTRICTIONS

ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE COMPANY, AND NO TRANSFER OF SUCH

SHARES OR OF THIS CERTIFICATE, OR OF ANY SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES (OR

CERTIFICATES THEREFOR) ISSUED IN EXCHANGE FOR OR IN RESPECT OF SUCH SHARES,

SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS AND UNTIL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREIN SET FORTH

SHALL HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH.”




 




“THE SHARES

REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES

ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF

IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT

OF 1933 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE

THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.”




 




In addition, so long as

the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate delivered to the

Holder, the Company may maintain appropriate “stop transfer” orders with

respect




 




3





























 




to such certificates and

the shares represented thereby on its books and records and with those to whom

it may delegate registrar and transfer functions.




 




3.             Reservation of Shares.  The Company hereby agrees that at all times

there shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such

number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon

exercise of this Warrant.  The Company

further agrees that all shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the

rights represented by this Warrant will be duly authorized and will, upon

issuance and against payment of the exercise price, be validly issued, fully

paid and non–assessable, free from all taxes, liens, charges and

preemptive rights with respect to the issuance thereof, other than taxes, if

any, in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issuance

and other than transfer restrictions imposed by federal and state securities

laws.




 




4.             Exchange, Transfer, Assignment

or Loss of Warrant.  This Warrant is

exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation

and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer

agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations, entitling the

Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of

shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. 

Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its

stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly

executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall,

without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee

named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.  This Warrant may be divided or combined with

other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the

office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any,

together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which

new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof.




 




5.             Capital Adjustments.  This Warrant is subject to the following

further provisions:




 




(a)           Recapitalization, Reclassification

and Succession.  If any

recapitalization of the Company or reclassification of its Common Stock or

any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with a corporation or other

business entity, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the

Company’s assets or of any successor corporation’s assets to any other

corporation or business entity (any such corporation or other business entity

being included within the meaning of the term “successor corporation”) shall be

effected, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired,

then, as a condition of such recapitalization, reclassification, merger,

consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful and adequate provision shall be made

whereby the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall have the right to receive

upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 and in lieu of the shares of

Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this

Warrant, such shares of capital stock, securities or other property as may be

issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding

shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock

immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately

prior to such recapitalization,




 




4





























 




reclassification, merger,

consolidation, sale or transfer, and in each such case, the terms of this

Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or

property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.




 




(b)           Subdivision or Combination of

Shares.  If the Company at any time

while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine

its Common Stock, the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon

exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately

adjusted.




 




(c)           Stock Dividends and Distributions.  If the Company at any time while this

Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall issue or pay the holders of its

Common Stock, then (i) the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in accordance with

Section 5(e) and (ii) the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon

exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common

Stock that Holder would have owned immediately following such action had this

Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto.




 




If the Company shall at any time after the date of

issuance of this Warrant distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any

shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences

of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid

from retained earnings or current year’s or prior year’s earnings of the

Company) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its

securities (excluding those referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph)

(any of the foregoing being hereinafter in this paragraph called the

“Securities”), then in each such case, the Company shall reserve shares or

other units of such securities for distribution to the Holder upon exercise of

this Warrant so that, in addition to the shares of the Common Stock to which

such Holder is entitled, such Holder will receive upon such exercise the amount

and kind of such Securities which such Holder would have received if the Holder

had, immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the

Securities, exercised this Warrant.




 




(d)           Warrant

Price Adjustment.  Whenever the

number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant is

adjusted, as herein provided, the Warrant Price payable upon the exercise of

this Warrant shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the

Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the

numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable

upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii)

the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Warrant Stock

purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately thereafter.




 




(e)           Certain Shares Excluded.  The number of shares of Common Stock

outstanding at any given time for purposes of the adjustments set forth in this

Section 5 shall exclude any shares then directly or indirectly held in the

treasury of the Company.




 




(f)            Deferral and Cumulation of De

Minimis Adjustments.  The Company

shall not be required to make any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 if the

amount of such adjustment would be less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant

Price in effect 




 




5





























 




immediately before the

event that would otherwise have given rise to such adjustment.  In such case, however, any adjustment that

would otherwise have been required to be made shall be made at the time of and

together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any

adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than one

percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in effect immediately before the event giving

rise to such next subsequent adjustment.




 




(g)           Duration

of Adjustment.  Following each

computation or readjustment as provided in this Section 5, the new adjusted

Warrant Price and number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise

of this Warrant shall remain in effect until a further computation or

readjustment thereof is required.




 




6.             Notice to Holders.




 




(a)           Notice of Record Date.  In case:




 




(i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of

its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the

exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any

dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus of the

Company) 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 with or

merger of the Company into another corporation, or any conveyance of all or

substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or




 




(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 hereof at the

time outstanding a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) 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 (ii) 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 (or such stock or securities at the time receivable

upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares

of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other

property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,

merger, conveyance, dissolution or winding-up. 

Such notice shall be mailed at least fifteen (15) days prior to the

record date therein specified, or if no record date shall have been specified

therein, at least thirty (30) days prior to such specified date.




 




(b)           Certificate of Adjustment.

Whenever any adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company

shall promptly make a certificate signed by its




 




6





























 




Chairman and Chief

Executive Officer, its President or a Vice President and by its Treasurer or

Assistant Treasurer or its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, setting forth in

reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the

adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Warrant

Price and number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of

this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall promptly cause

copies of such certificates to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid)

to the Holder of this Warrant.




 




7.             Loss, Theft, Destruction or

Mutilation.  Upon receipt by the

Company of evidence satisfactory to it, in the exercise of its reasonable

discretion, of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of

this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity

reasonably satisfactory to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon

surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and deliver in

lieu thereof, without expense to the Holder, a new Warrant of like tenor dated

the date hereof.




 




8.             Warrant Holder Not a Stockholder.  The Holder of this Warrant, as such, shall

not be entitled by reason of this Warrant to any rights whatsoever as a

stockholder of the Company.




 




9.             Registration Rights.  This Warrant and the shares of Common Stock

issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be accorded the same registration

rights under the Act as set forth in the Subscription Agreement between the

Company and the purchasers of Company securities pursuant to the Memorandum.




 




10.           Definitions.  As used herein, unless the context otherwise

requires, the following terms have the respective meanings:

policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by

agreement or otherwise.




 




(b)           “Person”:  any natural person, corporation, division of
