Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, which, shall contain the following
restrictive securities legend:


 


THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES
COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR
SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION
NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN
COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS.


 


The Company shall, upon
request of the Holder and subsequent to the date on which the Registration
Statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares has been declared effective
by the SEC, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder
electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available, provided,
that, the Company may, but will not be required to change its transfer agent if
its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through
the Depository Trust Corporation.  A “Date
of Exercise” means the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the
Company: (i) the Exercise Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached
to it), appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) if the Holder is
not utilizing the cashless exercise provisions set forth in Section 10(b),
payment of the applicable Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so
indicated by the Holder to be purchased.


 


5

















 


(b)          If by the third (3rd) Business Day after a Date of
Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in
the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will
have the right to rescind such exercise.


 


(c)          The Company’s
obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms
hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction
by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any
provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action
to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or
termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person
of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law
by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance
which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in
connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. 
Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies
available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Warrant Shares
upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.


 


6.             Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any
issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental
tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which
taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for
Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder.  The Holder shall be responsible for all other
tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this
Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.


 


7.             Replacement of Warrant.  If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary
and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if
requested.  Applicants for a New Warrant
under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as
the Company may prescribe.  If a New
Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the
Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition
precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.


 


8.             Reservation of Warrant Shares.  The Company covenants that it will at all
times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company
covenants that all Warrant 


 


6

















 


Shares so issuable
and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise
Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized,
issued and fully paid and nonassessable.


 


9.             Certain Adjustments.  The Exercise Prices and number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from
time to time as set forth in this Section 9.


 


(a)          Stock Dividends
and Splits.  If the Company, at any
time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its
Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock
that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in
each such case the Exercise Prices shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock 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 clause (i) of
this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the payment of the
dividend or the making of the distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to
clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.


 


(b)          Fundamental
Transactions.  If, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction, then as a
condition to the Company consummating any such Fundamental Transaction, the
Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this
Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would
have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full
of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”).  For purposes of any such exercise, the
determination of the Exercise Prices shall be appropriately adjusted to apply
to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration
issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental
Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Prices among the
Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of
any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any
choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental
Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate
Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such
Fundamental Transaction.  At the Holder’s
option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such
Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially
in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and
evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the
aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. 
The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction
is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving
entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring
that the Warrant 


 


7

















 


(or any such replacement
security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous
to a Fundamental Transaction.


 


(c)          Number of Warrant
Shares.  Simultaneously with any
adjustment to the Exercise Prices pursuant to this Section 9, the
number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment
the aggregate Exercise Prices payable hereunder for the adjusted number of
Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Prices in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment.


 


(d)          Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 9
shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as
applicable.  The number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or
held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such
shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.


 


(e)          Notice of
Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of
each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its
expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including
a statement of the adjusted Exercise Prices and adjusted number or type of
Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as
applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.  Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company’s transfer agent.


 


(f)            Notice of
Corporate Events.  If the Company (i) declares
a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the
Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any
agreement contemplating or solicits shareholder approval for any Fundamental
Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the
Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such
transaction at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record
or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will
take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given
the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however,
that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect
the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.


 


(g)          Subsequent Equity
Sales. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall
offer, sell, grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to
reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any
offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of
Common Stock, at an 


 


8

















 


effective price
per share less than the then either Exercise Price (each such issuance, a “Dilutive
Issuance”), as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase
price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange
prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is
issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of
Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than either Exercise
Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the
Exercise Price), then each Exercise Price shall be reduced to such price and,
in each case, the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be
increased such that the aggregate Exercise Prices payable hereunder, after
taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Prices, shall be equal to the
aggregate Exercise Prices prior to such adjustment.  Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of
the Exercise Prices in the case of the issuance or sale from and after the
Original Issue Date of Anti-Dilution Excluded Securities.  The Company shall notify the Holder in
writing, no later than the Business Day following the issuance of any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein
the applicable issuance price, or if applicable, reset price, exchange price,
conversion price and other pricing terms.


 


10.           Payment of Exercise Price. Except in
connection with a cashless exercise as set forth in Section 4(b),
the Holder shall pay the Exercise Price by delivering to the Company
immediately available funds.


 


11.           No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will
be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of any fractional shares which would,
otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such
fraction multiplied by the closing sale price of one Warrant Share as reported
by the applicable Trading Market on the date of exercise.


 


12.           Registration Rights.


 


(a)          Incidental
Registration. If at any time prior to the Expiration Date the Company shall
determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to
an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities
Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8
(each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents
relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
connection with the stock option or other employee benefit plans (the “Registration
Statement”), then the Company shall send to Holder written notice of such
determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice,
any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such
Registration Statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such
holder requests to be registered.  The
Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to ensure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to
such time so as to have its Warrant Shares included in the Registration
Statement.

(b)           Registration
Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or
compliance with Section 12 this Agreement by the Company, except as
and to the extent specified in this Section 12(b), shall be borne
by the Company whether or not the Registration Statement is filed or becomes
effective and whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to
the Registration Statement.  The fees and
expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without
limitation:  (A) all registration
and filing fees; (B) printing expenses (including, without limitation,
expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing
prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by the holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement);
(C) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses; (D) fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company; (E) Securities Act liability

including, without limitation, the Company’s independent public accountants
(including the expenses of any comfort letters or costs associated with the
delivery by independent public accountants of a comfort letter or comfort
letters).  Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, any fees or expenses incurred by Holder or its
legal counsel or Holder’s other advisors or consultants in connection with any
review of the Registration Statement or with respect to any other matters
related to this Agreement shall be borne solely by Holder.


 


(c)          Indemnification.


 


(i)           Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall, notwithstanding
any termination of this Warrant, indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, the
officers, directors, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell
Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform
under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees of each
of them, each Person who controls the Holder (within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers,
directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of
preparation and attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”)
(as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not
subject to appeal or review), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any related Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment
or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising solely out
of or based upon any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case
of any related Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions
are based upon information regarding the Holder furnished in writing to the
Company by the Holder expressly for use therein.  The Company shall notify the Holder promptly
of the institution, 


 


10

















 


threat or assertion of any  Proceeding of
which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.


 


(ii)          Indemnification by Holder. 
The Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors,
officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such
controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from
and against all Losses (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final judgment not subject to appeal or review), as incurred, arising solely
out of or based solely upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any related
Prospectus, or any form of prospectus or form of prospectus or in any amendment
or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising solely out
of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any related
Prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that
such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission is
contained in information so furnished by the Holder in writing to the Company
expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such related
Prospectus.  In no event shall the
liability of the Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount
of the net proceeds received by the Holder upon the sale of the Registrable
Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.


 


(iii)         Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  If any Proceeding shall be brought or
asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified
Party”), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom
indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the
Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of
all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided,
however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities
pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure shall have
proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.


 


An Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (x) the
Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (y) the
Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such
Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party in any such Proceeding; or (z) the named parties to any such
Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been 


 


11

















 


advised by counsel
that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to
represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if
such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it
elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the
Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and
such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable
for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any
pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party
from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.


 


All fees and expenses of
the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent
incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such
Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 12(c))
shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business
Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether
it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the
Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse
all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that
such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).


 


(iv)         Contribution.  If a
claim for indemnification under Section 12(c)(i) or Section 12(c)(ii) is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise),
then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a
result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection
with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. 
The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by,
or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying, Party or Indemnified
Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a
result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 12(c)(iii), any reasonable attorneys’ or other
reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any
Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees
or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was
available to such party in accordance with its terms.


 


12

















 


The parties hereto agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 12(c)(iv) were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that
does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 12(c)(iv),
no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in
excess of the amount of the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the
sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the proceeding.  No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


 


The indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any
liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.


 


13.           Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications
or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice)
shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the
date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 5:00 p.m.

Business Day, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if

actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The addresses for such communications shall
be:  (i) if to the Company, to

California 91730, Attn: President, or to Facsimile No.: (909) 987-5186 (or such
other address as the Company shall indicate in writing in accordance with this
Section), or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number
appearing on the Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as
the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section.


 


14.           Warrant Agent.  The Company shall serve as warrant agent
under this Warrant.  Upon ten (10) days’
notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent.  Any corporation into which the Company or any
new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any
consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or
any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers
substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business
shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further
act.  Any such successor warrant agent
shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by
first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address
as shown on the Warrant Register.


 


15.           Holder Status.  The Holder is an “accredited investor” as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or a “qualified
institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities
Act.

(a)          This Warrant shall be
binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective

remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. 
This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and

(b)          THE CORPORATE LAWS OF

OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA,
FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR HOLDER HEREUNDER,
IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED

IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY HOLDER, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY
SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER.  EACH PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING
SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA

ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.


 


(c)          The headings herein
are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall
not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.


 


(d)          In case any one or
more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the
parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable
provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and
upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.
