BIOGAN INTERNATIONAL INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
1. ISSUANCE. In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by BIOGAN INTERNATIONAL, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Carbon Mesa Partners, LLC, a Nevada
limited liability company, or registered assigns (the "Holder") is hereby
granted the right to purchase at any time until 5:00 P.M., Pacific Coast time,
on February 28, 2003 (the "Expiration Date"), Nine Thousand (9,000) fully paid
and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the "Common Stock") at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (the
"Exercise Price") subject to further adjustment as set forth in Section 6
hereof.
2. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in
part for whole shares of the Company's Common Stock at the Exercise Price per
share of Common Stock payable hereunder, payable in cash or by certified or
official bank check. In lieu of paying cash to exercise this Warrant, the Holder
may, by designating a "cashless" exercise on the Notice of Exercise Form,
acquire a number of whole shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to (a) the
difference between (i) the Market Value of the Company's Common Stock and (ii)
the Exercise Price, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable under the portion of the Warrant tendered to the Company, divided by
(c) the Market Value of the Company's Common Stock. Upon surrender of this
Warrant Certificate with the annexed Notice of Exercise Form duly executed,
together with payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock
purchased, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates
for the shares of Common Stock so purchased. For the purposes of this Section 2,
"Market Value" shall be an amount equal to the average closing bid price of a
share of Common Stock for the five (5) business days immediately preceding the
Company's receipt of the Notice of Exercise Form duly executed.
3. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company hereby agrees that at all times
during the term of this Warrant there shall be reserved for issuance upon
exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be
required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant (the "Warrant Shares").
4. MUTILATION OR LOSS OF WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of
reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver
a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.
5. RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and
are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
6. ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE TERMS.
If the Company at any time prior to the full execution of this Warrant
shall, by subdivision, combination, merger, spin-off, re-classification or like
capital adjustment of the securities, change any of the securities to which
purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or different number of
securities of any class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the
Holder to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable
as a result of such change with respect to the securities acquirable immediately
prior to such transaction. If shares of the securities acquirable upon exercise
of this Warrant are subdivided into a greater number of securities, including
any stock dividend, or if such securities are combined into a lesser number of
securities, then the purchase price for the securities acquirable upon exercise
of this Warrant and the securities acquirable pursuant to this Warrant shall be
proportionately and equitably adjusted.
7. TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
(a) This Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, (the "Act") and has been issued to the Holder for investment
and not with a view to the distribution of either the Warrant or the Warrant
Shares. Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares or any other security
issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be sold, transferred,
pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective registration statement
under the Act and applicable state securities laws relating to such security,
unless in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, such registrations
are not required under the Act. Each certificate for the Warrant, the Warrant
Shares and any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall contain a legend on the face thereof, in form and substance satisfactory
to counsel for the Company, setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained
in this Section.
(b) The Company agrees to file a registration statement, which shall
include the Warrant Shares, on Form SB-2 or another available form (the
"Registration Statement"), pursuant to the Act, pursuant to a Registration
Rights Agreement between the Company and Holder dated as of the date hereof (the
"Registration Rights Agreement").
