Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and
upon payment of the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, the Company shall
promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the
Date of Exercise) issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the 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.

 

9

 

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
insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance; and (F) fees and
expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 12,
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

 

10

 

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, 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 

 

11

 

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
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 

 

12

 

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.

 

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 

 

13

 

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.

 

16.           Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           This Warrant shall
be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. 
Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be
construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal
or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.  This Warrant may be amended only in writing
signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.

 

(b)           THE CORPORATE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE SHALL GOVERN ALL ISSUES CONCERNING THE RELATIVE RIGHTS
OF THE COMPANY AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS.  ALL
QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION
OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.  THE

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

WARRANT, AND HEREBY 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

SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. 
EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND

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

EXHIBIT A

TO STOCK OPTION GRANT NOTICE

 

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

Pursuant to the Stock
Option Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) to which this Stock Option
Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached, EMRISE Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), has granted to Participant an option under
the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan to purchase the number of shares of the
Common Stock as indicated in the Grant Notice.

 

ARTICLE I

GENERAL

 

1.1           Defined Terms. Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective
meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan and the Grant Notice.

 

1.2           Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The
Option is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan which are
incorporated herein by reference.

 

ARTICLE II

GRANT OF OPTION

 

2.1           Grant of Option. In consideration
of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the
Company or a Subsidiary and for other good and valuable consideration,
effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”),
the Company irrevocably grants to Participant the option to purchase any part
or all of an aggregate of the number of shares of Common Stock set forth in the
Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this
Agreement (the “Option”). Unless designated as a Non-Qualified Stock
Option in the Grant Notice, the Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option to
the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

2.2           Exercise Price. The exercise price
of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option shall be as set forth in
the Grant Notice, without commission or other charge; provided, however, that (i) the
exercise price per share of the shares subject to the Option shall not be less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant
Date, and (ii) if this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option,
the exercise price per share of the shares subject to the Option shall not be
less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant
Date in the case of a Participant then owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of
the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any “subsidiary corporation” of the Company or any “parent
corporation” of the Company (each within the meaning of Section 424 of the
Code).

 

2.3           Consideration to the Company. In
consideration of the grant of the Option by the Company, Participant agrees to
render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary.
Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right
to (a) continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall
interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, which are hereby expressly reserved, to 

 

Exhibit A

To Stock Option Grant Notice

 

 

discharge Participant, if Participant is an Employee,
or (b) continue to provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary or
shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the services of
Participant, if Participant is a consultant, at any time for any reason
whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided
otherwise in a written agreement between the Company, a Subsidiary and
Participant, or (c) continue to serve as a member of the Board or shall
interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, which are
hereby expressly reserved, to discharge Participant in accordance with the
Company’s Bylaws.

 

ARTICLE III

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

 

3.1           Commencement of Exercisability.

 

(a)   Subject to
the provisions of this Section 3.1 and Sections 3.3, the
Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as
are set forth in the Grant Notice; provided, however, that, except as set forth
in writing by the Administrator, no Option shall be exercisable by any Holder
who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act within the period
ending six months after the Grant Date.

 

(b)   The Option shall
automatically vest in full upon (i) the occurrence of a Change in Control,
(ii) the date of Participant’s Termination of Employment or Termination of
Directorship by the Company or any Subsidiary unless such termination
constituted a termination for Cause.

 

(c)   Subject to
the provisions of Section 3.1(b), no portion of the Option which is
unexercisable at the date of Participant’s Termination of Employment,
Termination of Consultancy or Termination of Directorship, as applicable, shall
thereafter become vested and exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided
by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company
and Participant.

 

(d)   Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, this Option shall not be exercisable by any
Holder until and unless the Option and the shares underlying the Option are
qualified in the State of California.

 

3.2           Duration of Exercisability. The
installments provided for in the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice
are cumulative. Each such installment which becomes vested and exercisable
pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice shall remain
vested and exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3.

 

3.3           Expiration of Option. The Option
may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the
following events:

 

(a)   The
Expiration Date set forth on the Grant Notice;

 

(b)   The
expiration of ten years from the Grant Date;

 

A-2

 

(c)   If this
Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option and Participant owned (within
the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code), at the time the Option
was granted, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any “subsidiary corporation” of the Company or “parent
corporation” of the Company (each within the meaning of Section 424 of the
Code), the expiration of five years from the date the Option was granted; or

 

(d)   Except as
set forth in a written agreement with the Company, the expiration of one calendar year following the date
of Participant’s Termination of Employment or Termination of Directorship if
such termination occurs other than by reason of Participant’s death or disability,
unless such termination constituted a termination for Cause;

 

(e)   The
expiration of one year following the date of Participant’s Termination of
Employment or Termination of Directorship by reason of Participant’s death or
disability; or

 

(f)    The date of
Participant’s Termination of Employment or Termination of Directorship by the
Company or any Subsidiary by reason of Participant’s discharge for Cause.

 

Participant acknowledges
that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more than three months after Participant’s
termination of status as an Employee, other than by reason of death or
disability, will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

 

3.4           Special Tax Consequences.
Participant acknowledges that, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all shares of Common
Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options, including the Option, are
exercisable for the first time by Participant in any calendar year exceeds
$100,000 (or such other limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of
the Code), the Option and such other options shall be treated as not qualifying
under Section 422 of the Code but rather shall be considered Non-Qualified
Stock Options. Participant further acknowledges that the rule set forth in
the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking Options and other “incentive
stock options” into account in the order in which they were granted, as
determined under Section 422(d) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder.

 

ARTICLE IV

EXERCISE OF OPTION

 

4.1           Person Eligible to Exercise. Except
as provided in Sections 5.2(b), during the lifetime of Participant, only
Participant may exercise the Option or any portion thereof (unless it has been
disposed of pursuant to a DRO). Subject to such conditions and procedures as
the Administrator may require, a Permitted Transferee may exercise the Option
or any portion thereof during Participant’s lifetime. Subject to such
conditions and procedures as the Administrator may require, after the death of
Participant, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when
the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3, be exercised by
Participant’s personal representative, by any person empowered to do so under
the deceased 

 

A-3

 

Participant’s will or under the then applicable laws
of descent and distribution, or by a Permitted Transferee.

 

4.2           Partial Exercise. Any exercisable
portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be
exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or
portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3.

 

4.3           Manner of Exercise. The Option, or
any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the
Secretary of the Company or such other person or entity designated by the
Board, or his, her, or its office, as applicable, of all of the following prior
to the time when the Option or such portion thereof becomes unexercisable under
Section 3.3:

 

(a)   An exercise
notice in writing signed by Participant or any other person then entitled to
exercise the Option or portion thereof, stating that the Option or portion
thereof is thereby exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established
by the Administrator. Such notice shall be substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit A to this Agreement (or such other form as is prescribed
by the Administrator); and

 

(b)   Subject to Section 6.2(d) of
the Plan:

 

(i)            Full payment (in
cash or by check) for the shares with respect to which the Option or portion
thereof is exercised; or

 

(ii)           Such payment may be
made, in whole or in part, through the delivery of shares of Common Stock which
have been owned by Participant for at least six months, duly endorsed for
transfer to the Company with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal
to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof; or

 

(iii)          Through the
delivery of a notice that Participant has placed a market sell order with a
broker with respect to shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of
the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion
of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option
exercise price; provided, that payment of such proceeds is made to the Company
upon settlement of such sale; or

 

(iv)          Subject to any
applicable laws, any combination of the consideration provided in the foregoing
paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii); and

 

(c)   A bona fide
written representation and agreement, in such form as is prescribed by the
Administrator, signed by Participant or the other person then entitled to
exercise such Option or portion thereof, stating that the shares of Common
Stock are being acquired for Participant’s own account, for investment and
without any present intention of distributing or reselling said shares or any
of them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act and then applicable
rules and regulations thereunder and any other applicable law, and that
Participant or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion
thereof will indemnify the Company against and hold it free and harmless from
any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting to the Company if any sale or
distribution of the shares by such person is 

 

A-4

 

contrary to the representation and agreement referred
to above. The written representation and agreement referred to in this
subsection (c) shall, however, not be required if the shares to be issued
pursuant to such exercise have been registered under the Securities Act, and
such registration is then effective in respect of such shares; and

 

(d)   The receipt
by the Company of full payment for such shares, including payment of any
applicable withholding tax, which may be in the form of consideration used by
Participant to pay for such shares under Section 4.3(b), subject to
Section 12.5 of the Plan; and

 

(e)   In the
event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 4.1
by any person or persons other than Participant, appropriate proof of the right
of such person or persons to exercise the Option; and

 

(f)    Such other
representations and documents as the Administrator, in its absolute discretion,
deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with all applicable
provisions of the Securities Act and any other federal or state securities laws
or regulations.

 

4.4           Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates.
The shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any
portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or
issued shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such shares shall
be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver any shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of the Option or
portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

 

(a)   The
admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges or quotation systems
on which such class of stock is then listed or admitted for trading;

 

(b)   The
completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any
state or federal law, or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body which the
Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;

 

(c)   The
obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal
governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion,
determine to be necessary or advisable;

 

(d)   The lapse
of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the
Administrator may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative
convenience, provided that in no event shall such lapse constitute an
additional deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code; and

 

(e)   The receipt
by the Company of full payment for such shares, including payment of any
applicable withholding tax, which may be in the form of consideration used by
Participant to pay for such shares under Section 4.3(b), subject to
Section 12.5 of the Plan.

 

4.5           Rights as Stockholder. The holder
of the Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, stockholders
of the Company in respect of any shares purchasable upon 

 

A-5

 

the exercise of any part of an Option unless and until
certificates representing such shares have been issued by the Company to such
holder.

 

ARTICLE V

OTHER PROVISIONS

 

5.1           Administration. The Administrator
shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such
rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan
as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules.
All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the
Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon Participant, the
Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator shall
be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in
good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Option. In its
absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise
any and all rights and duties of the Administrator under the Plan and this
Agreement.

 

5.2           Option Not Transferable.

 

(a)   Subject to Section 5.2(b),
the Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the
consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until the shares
underlying the Option have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such
shares have lapsed.  Neither the Option
nor any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or
engagements of Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be
subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge,
encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be
voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment,
garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy),
and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect,
except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding
sentence.

 

(b)   Notwithstanding
Section 5.1(a), with the consent of the Administrator and to the
extent the Option is not intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, the
Option may be transferred to one or more Permitted Transferees, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in Section 12.1(b) of the Plan.

 

5.3           Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

 

(a)   The share
certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Stock purchased hereunder
shall be endorsed with any legends that may be required by state or federal
securities laws.

 

(b)   Participant
agrees that, the Administrator may, in its absolute discretion, take whatever
additional actions it deems appropriate to ensure the observance and
performance of the representations and agreements set forth herein;

 

(c)   Participant
agrees that, the Administrator may, in its absolute discretion, take whatever
additional actions it deems appropriate to effect compliance with the Securities
Act and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations and any other

 

A-6

 

applicable law, including, without limitation, placing
legends on share certificates and issuing stop-transfer orders covering such
shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator may
require an opinion of counsel acceptable to it to the effect that any
subsequent transfer of shares acquired on an Option exercise does not violate
the Securities Act.

 

(d)   The Company
shall not be required: (i) to transfer on its books any shares of Common
Stock that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the
provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares of Common
Stock or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other
transferee to whom such shares shall have been so transferred.

 

5.4           Shares to Be Reserved. The Company
shall at all times during the term of the Option reserve and keep available
such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of this Agreement.

 

5.5           Notices. Any notice to be given
under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the
Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the address given beneath
the signature of the Company’s authorized officer on the Grant Notice, and any
notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at the
address given beneath Participant’s signature on the Grant Notice. By a notice
given pursuant to this Section 5.5, either party may hereafter
designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice
which is required to be given to Participant shall, if Participant is then
deceased, be given to the person entitled to exercise his or her Option
pursuant to Section 4.1 by written notice under this Section 5.5.
Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by
certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid)
in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United
States Postal Service.

 

5.6           Titles. Titles are provided herein
for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or
construction of this Agreement.

 

5.7           Governing Law; Severability. This
Agreement shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal
laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws principles
thereof. Should any provision of this Agreement be determined by a court of law
to be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain
effective and shall remain enforceable.

 

5.8           Conformity to Securities Laws.
Participant acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent
necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and
any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be
administered, and the Option is granted and may be exercised, only in such a
manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed
amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and
regulations.

 

5.9           Amendments. This Agreement may not
be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed
by Participant or such other person as may be 

 

A-7

 

permitted to exercise the Option pursuant to Section 4.1
and by a duly authorized representative of the Company.

 

5.10         Successors and Assigns. The Company
may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple
assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and
assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set
forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

 

1.1           Notification of Disposition. If
this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option, Participant shall give
prompt notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any shares
of Common Stock acquired under this Agreement if such disposition or transfer
is made (a) within two years from the Grant Date with respect to such
shares or (b) within one year after the transfer of such shares to him.
Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and
the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or
other consideration, by Participant in such disposition or other transfer.

 

5.11         Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if
Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the
Option and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set
forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange
Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are
requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the
extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

 

5.12         Entire Agreement. The Plan and this
Agreement (including all Exhibits hereto) constitute the entire agreement of
the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and
agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter
hereof.
