Not Transferable or Exercisable Except
upon Conditions Herein Specified
Void after 5:00 p.m.,
Eastern Standard Time,
the last day of the five year exercise period
set forth in Section 1.2 hereof.
The Plastic Surgery Company, a Georgia corporation (the "Company"),
hereby certifies that ________, or his successors and permitted assigns
registered on the books of the Company as the holder hereof (the "Holder"), for
value received, are entitled to purchase from the Company ________ shares of
________ common stock, no par value per share, of the Company (the "Common
Stock") at a price per share equal to the price to the public in an initial
public offering of shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-1 (the "Exercise Price"), upon the terms and conditions
herein provided.
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
1.1 Subject to subsection 1.2, this warrant (the
"Warrant") may be exercised in whole or in part by presentation and surrender of
this certificate (the "Certificate"), with the attached Purchase Form duly
executed, at the principal office of the Company at 104 West Anapamu Street,
Suite G, Santa Barbara, California 93101, or at such other place as the Company
may designate by notice to Holder. This Warrant may be exercised by Holder in
increments of 100 shares of Common Stock, or in such smaller number representing
all of the shares subject to the unexercised portion of such Warrant, by giving
written notice to the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
with respect to which the Warrant is being exercised. Upon exercise of this
Warrant or a portion thereof, the purchase price for the Common Stock shall be
paid (i) in cash, (ii) in shares of Common Stock valued at the closing price for
the Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange or other exchange or over the
counter market on which the Common Stock is listed (collectively, the
"Exchange") on the date of exercise (or, if the date of exercise is not on a
trading day, the trading day immediately preceding the date of exercise), (iii)
by agreeing to surrender a portion of the shares of Common Stock then
exercisable by Holder pursuant to this Warrant or any other warrant held by
Holder (the "Surrendered Shares"); such Surrendered Shares to be valued at the
excess of the closing price for the Common Stock on the Exchange on the date of
exercise (or, if the date of exercise is not on a trading day, the trading day
immediately preceding the date of exercise) minus the exercise price of the
Surrendered Shares pursuant to such warrant, multiplied by the number of
Surrendered Shares or (iv) by such other medium of payment as the Company, in
its discretion, shall authorize, or by any combination of (i), (ii), (iii) and
(iv) above.
1.2 This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at
any time during the five (5) year period commencing on the effective date of the
Company's registration statement on Form S-1 in connection with
2
the Company's initial public offering of shares of Common Stock (the "IPO") and
ending at 5:00 p.m. E.S.T. on the date which falls on the fifth anniversary
thereof (the "Exercise Period"). Any unexercised portion of this Warrant shall
become void and of no further effect after the expiration of the Exercise
Period.
2. EXCHANGE OF WARRANT. This Certificate at any time prior to the
exercise hereof, upon presentation and surrender to the Company, may be
exchanged, alone or with other warrant certificates of like tenor registered in
the name of the Holder, for another warrant certificate(s) of like tenor in the
name of such Holder exercisable for the same aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock as the warrant certificate(s) surrendered.
3. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF HOLDER. Holder shall not be entitled
to vote or receive dividends or to be deemed the holder of shares of Common
Stock for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Certificate be
construed to confer upon Holder any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company including, but not limited to, any right to vote, give or withhold
consent to any action by the Company, whether upon any recapitalization, issue
of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, share exchange,
conveyance or otherwise, receive notice of meetings or other action affecting
stockholders (except for the notices provided for herein), receive dividends,
receive subscription rights, or any other right; provided, however, upon
exercise of this Warrant, such Holder shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have
become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date during
the Exercise Period on which this Certificate, together with a duly executed
Purchase Form, was surrendered and full payment of the Exercise Price was made,
irrespective of the date of delivery of such share certificate. The rights of
Holder are limited to those expressed herein, and Holder, by its acceptance
hereof, consents to and agrees to be bound by and to comply with all the
provisions of this Certificate. In addition, Holder agrees that the Company may
deem and treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the
books of the Company maintained for such purpose as the absolute, true and
lawful owner for all purposes whatsoever, notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing hereon, and the Company shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
4. SHARES UNDERLYING WARRANT. The Company covenants and agrees
that all shares of Common Stock delivered upon exercise of this Warrant shall,
upon delivery and full payment therefor, be duly and validly authorized and
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all liens and charges with
respect to the purchase thereof.
5. DISPOSITION OF WARRANTS OR SHARES.
5.1 Holder and any transferee hereof or of the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, hereby understand and
agree that this Warrant, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise hereof, have not been registered under either the 1933 Act or the State
Acts and shall not be sold, pledged, hypothecated, donated or otherwise
transferred (whether or not for consideration) except upon the issuance to the
Company of a favorable opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company or
submission to the Company of such evidence as may be satisfactory to counsel to
the Company, in each such case, to the effect that any such transfer shall not
be in violation of the 1933 Act and the State Acts. It shall be a condition to
the transfer of this Warrant that any transferee hereof deliver to the Company
its written agreement to accept and be bound by all of the terms and conditions
of this Warrant.
5.2 The stock certificates of the Company that will
evidence the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof may be
imprinted with a conspicuous legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER EITHER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") OR APPLICABLE STATE
ACTS AND SHALL NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, DONATED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED (WHETHER OR NOT FOR CONSIDERATION) BY THE HOLDER EXCEPT
UPON THE ISSUANCE TO THE COMPANY OF A FAVORABLE OPINION SATISFACTORY TO
THE COMPANY OR SUBMISSION TO THE COMPANY OF SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY
BE SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY, IN EACH SUCH CASE, TO THE
EFFECT THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER SHALL NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE ACT AND
THE STATE ACTS.

6. ADJUSTMENTS.
6.1 The number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant is not subject to adjustment except as specifically provided
hereunder.
6.1.1 If the issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock are subdivided or split up (including by way of stock dividend)
into a greater number of shares of the Common Stock, or combined into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, the amount of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant in effect at the opening of
business on the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for the
determination of the stockholders whose shares of Common Stock shall be
subdivided, split up or combined (the "Split Record Date") shall be
proportionately increased or decreased, effective on the business day
immediately after the Split Record Date.
6.1.2 In case of any capital reorganization, any
reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than as a result of a stock
dividend or subdivision, split up or combination of shares), or any share
exchange by or the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
person or entity (other than a share exchange or merger in which the Company is
the acquiring or surviving corporation and which does not result in any change
in the Common Stock other than the issuance of additional shares of Common
Stock), or of the sale, exchange, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company as an entirety or
the participation by the Company in a share exchange as the corporation the
stock of which is to be acquired (collectively, "Reorganization Event"), this
Warrant shall (effective on the effective date of such Reorganization Event) be
exercisable into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or
property of the Company or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation,
surviving such merger, or to which such properties and assets have been sold,
exchanged, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed, that a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would
have been entitled to upon such Reorganization Event.
6.1.3 No adjustment shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder; provided, however,
that any adjustments which by reason of this Subsection are not required to be
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest
one-hundredth of a share of Common Stock.
7. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue
any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant or any
portion hereof. If more than one certificate shall be surrendered for exercise
at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which
shall be issuable upon exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock represented by the warrant
certificates surrendered. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock
shall be deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall make
an adjustment therefor in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing
price of the shares of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the
day of exercise.
8. LOSS OR DESTRUCTION. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to
the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Certificate
and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an
indemnity agreement or bond satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the
Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
of this Certificate, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in
lieu thereof, a new Certificate of like tenor.
9. SURVIVAL. The various rights and obligations of Holder or the
Company as set forth herein shall survive the exercise of this Warrant at any
time or from time to time and the surrender of this Certificate.
10. NOTICES. Whenever any notice, payment of any purchase price or
other communication is required to be given or delivered under the terms of this
Warrant, it shall be in writing and delivered by hand delivery, facsimile or
registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, and will be deemed
to have been given or delivered on the date such notice, purchase price or other
communication is so delivered or posted, as the case may

be, and, if to the Company, it will be addressed to the address specified
hereunder, and if to Holder, it will be addressed to the registered Holder at
