of Common Stock to be reserved shall be up to One Million One Hundred and Forty
Two Thousand, Eight Hundred and Fifty Seven (1,142,857) for the Put Shares under
the terms and conditions of this Agreement that will need to be issued. The

delivered hereunder.
Section 6.2 LISTING OF COMMON STOCK. The Company shall use its best efforts to
maintain the listing of the Common Stock on a Principal Market, and will cause
the Put Shares to be listed on the Principal Market. The Company further shall,

Market, include in such application the Put Shares and shall take such other
action as is necessary or desirable in the reasonable opinion of Investor to use
its best efforts to cause the Common Stock to be listed on such other Principal
Market as promptly as possible. The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of the Common Stock on

reasonable steps necessary to preserve and continue the corporate existence of
the Company.

of all SEC Documents so furnished or submitted to the SEC.

governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the registration
statement for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or related
prospectus; (b) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state
governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any
Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
(c) receipt of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose; (d) the happening of any event that makes any
statement made in such Registration Statement or related prospectus or any
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue
in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the
registration statement, related prospectus or documents so that, in the case of
a Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of
the related prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; and (e) the Company's reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to the registration statement
would be appropriate, and the Company shall promptly make available to Investor
any such supplement or amendment to the related prospectus. The Company shall

foregoing events.
Section 6.7 EXPECTATIONS REGARDING PUT NOTICES. Within ten (10) days after the
commencement of each calendar quarter occurring subsequent to the commencement
of the Commitment Period, the Company undertakes to notify Investor as to its
reasonable expectations as to the dollar amount it intends to raise during such
calendar quarter, if any, through the issuance of Put Notices. Such notification
shall constitute only the Company's good faith estimate with respect to such
calendar quarter and shall in no way obligate the Company to raise such amount
during such calendar quarter or otherwise limit its ability to deliver Put
Notices during such calendar quarter. The failure by the Company to comply with
this provision can be cured by the Company's notifying Investor at any time as
to its reasonable expectations with respect to the current calendar quarter.
Section 6.9 CONSOLIDATION; MERGER. The Company shall not, at any time after the
date hereof, effect any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into, or
a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to, another

assumes by written instrument the obligation to deliver to Investor such shares
of Common Stock and/or securities as Investor is entitled to receive pursuant to

accordance with the provisions and requirements of Regulation D and any

officers and directors have studied and fully understand the nature of the

potential dilutive effect. The board of directors of the Company has concluded,
in its good faith business judgment, that such issuance is in the best interests
of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to
issue the Put Shares is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of
the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other
shareholders of the Company.
Section 6.12 USE OF PROCEEDS. The Company will use the proceeds received
hereunder for the production and delivery of the Finished Goods by the Investor.

the existence of any circumstance(without any obligation to disclose the
specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting
13
non-public information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally during the course of due diligence by such persons or entities),
which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in a Registration Statement
would cause such prospectus to include a material misstatement or to omit a
material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
Nothing contained in this Section 7.3 shall be construed to mean that such

conditions of this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons
or entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that based on such due
diligence by such persons or entities, any Registration Statement contains an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact required to be
stated in such Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading.
ARTICLE VIII
LEGENDS
Section 8.1 LEGENDS. Unless otherwise provided below, each certificate
representing Registerable Securities will bear the following legend (the
"LEGEND"):
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or qualified under applicable
state securities laws. These securities may not be offered, sold, pledged,
hypothecated, transferred or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to (I) an
effective registration statement and qualification in effect with respect
thereto under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities law,
(ii) to the extent applicable, Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (iii) an
opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that such registration
and qualification is not required under applicable federal and state securities
laws."
As soon as practicable after the execution and delivery hereof, the Company
shall issue to the Transfer Agent Instructions in substantially the form of
Exhibit D hereto. Such instructions shall be irrevocable by the Company from and
after the date thereof or from and after the issuance thereof. It is the intent
and purpose of such instructions, as provided therein, to require the Transfer
Agent to issue to Investor certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock
incident to a Closing, free of the Legend, without consultation by the transfer
agent with the Company or its counsel and without the need for any further
advice or instruction or documentation to the Transfer Agent by or from the
Company or its counsel or Investor; provided that (a) Investor confirms to the
Transfer Agent and the Company that it has or intends to sell such Common Stock
to a third party which is not an affiliate of Investor or the Company and
Investor agrees to redeliver the certificate representing such shares of Common
Stock to the Transfer Agent to add the Legend in the event the Common Stock is
not sold, and (b) if reasonably requested by the transfer agent or the Company,
Investor confirms to the transfer agent and the Company that Investor has
complied with the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act. At
any time after the Effective Date, upon surrender of one or more certificates
evidencing Common Stock that bear the Legend, to the extent accompanied by a
notice requesting the issuance of new certificates free of the Legend to replace
those surrendered.
Section 8.2 INVESTOR'S COMPLIANCE. Nothing in this Article VIII shall affect in
any way Investor's obligations under any agreement to comply with all applicable
securities laws upon resale of the Common Stock.

Stock purchased or acquired by Investor hereunder with respect to the Common
Stock held by such person, and (b) Investor's interest in this Agreement may be
assigned at any time, in whole but not in part, to any affiliate of Investor.
Section 10.5 THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is intended for the

of the indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions

Section 10.10 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which may be executed by less than all of the Company and
shall be deemed to be an original instrument which shall be enforceable against
the parties actually executing such counterparts and all of which together shall

Agreement.
16
Section 10.11 SURVIVAL; SEVERABILITY. The representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements of the Company hereto shall survive each Closing hereunder for a
period of one (1) year thereafter. In the event that any provision of this

any party.
Section 10.12 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to
be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and

be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual
intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
Section 10.14 EQUITABLE RELIEF. The Company recognizes that in the event that it
fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this

Company therefore agrees that Investor shall be entitled to temporary and
permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving
actual damages
Section 10.15 TITLE AND SUBTITLES. The titles and subtitles used in this
Agreement are used for the convenience of reference and are not to be considered

release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior written
consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed, except that no prior consent shall be required if such disclosure is
required by law, in which such case the disclosing party shall provide the other
parties with prior notice of such public statement. Investor acknowledges that
this Agreement and all or part of the Transaction Documents may be deemed to be
"material contracts" as that term is defined by Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation
S-K, and that the Company may therefore be required to file such documents as
exhibits to reports or registration statements filed under the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act. Investor further agrees that the status of such documents and
materials as material contracts shall be determined solely by the Company, in
consultation with its counsel.

EXHIBIT B TO PRIVATE EQUITY CREDIT AGREEMENT
FORM OF OPINION OF THE COMPANY'S COUNSEL
February __, 2006
To Skiva
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Execute Sports Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of
that certain Private Equity Credit Agreement, dated as of February __, 2006 (the
"Equity Credit Agreement"), between you and the Company.
The shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Equity
Credit Agreement are referred to herein collectively as the "Common Stock." The
Equity Credit Agreement is referred to herein as the "Transaction Document." Our
opinion is limited to the Transaction Document as expressly described above, and
we render no opinion with respect to the other agreements to be entered into
between the Company and the you pursuant to the terms thereof. Unless defined
herein, capitalized terms have the meaning given them in the Transaction
Documents.
In rendering this opinion, we have examined such matters of law as we
considered necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion. As to matters of
fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon the
representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in, and made by
the Company pursuant to, the Equity Credit Agreement and on the certificate of
the Company delivered in connection with our delivery hereof (the "Opinion
Certificate"), and upon certificates and statements of government officials and
of officers of the Company. In addition, we have examined originals or copies of
documents, corporate records and other writings that we consider relevant for
the purposes of this opinion. In such examination, we have assumed that the
signatures on documents and instruments examined by us are authentic, that each
is what it purports to be, and that all documents and instruments submitted to
us as copies or facsimiles conform with the originals, which facts we have not
independently verified.
In making our examination of documents, we have further assumed that (a)
each party to such documents (other than the Company in connection with its
corporate power and authority in executing, delivering and performing the
Transaction Document) had the power, legal competence and capacity to enter into
and perform all of such party's obligations thereunder, (b) each party to such
document (other than the Company in connection with the Transaction Document)
has duly authorized, executed and delivered such document, (c) each of such
documents is enforceable against and binding upon the parties thereto (other
than the Transaction Document against the Company), (d) the representations and
warranties of you set forth in the Transaction Document are accurate and
complete, and (e) there is no fact or circumstance relating to you or your
business that might prevent you from enforcing any of your rights provided for
in the Transaction Document. We have also assumed (i) that there are no
extrinsic agreements or understandings among the parties to the Transaction
Document that would modify or interpret the terms of the Transaction Document or
the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereto, and (ii) the
Company's receipt in full of Finished Goods by the purchasers of the Company's
securities.
20
Notwithstanding the examination described above, the expressions "to our
knowledge" or words of similar import when used in this opinion letter, refer to
the current actual knowledge of attorneys within the firm principally
responsible for handling current matters for the Company and indicate that we
have not undertaken any independent investigation with respect to the statements
being qualified by such knowledge limitation.
We express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the
laws of the State of California and the federal law of the United States of
America, including the rules and regulations promulgated by governmental
authorities thereunder, but, other than as expressly set forth in paragraph 9
below, excluding laws, rules and regulations concerning the offer or sale of
securities (referred to collectively herein as "Applicable Laws"). We express no
opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply, or to the
extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are
applicable to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated
thereby.
In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph 2 below as to the good
standing of the Company as to its qualification to do business in California, we
have relied exclusively on certificates of public officials.
Our opinion in paragraph 5 below as to the validity, binding effect and
enforceability of the Transaction Documents is premised upon the result that
would be obtained if a California court were to apply the internal laws of the
State of California to the interpretation and enforcement of the Transaction
Document.
In connection with the opinion set forth in paragraph 5 below, this
opinion is qualified by, and we render no opinion respect to, or as to the
effect of, the following:
(a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar
laws relating to or affecting the relief of debtors or the rights
and remedies of creditors generally, including without limitation
the effect of statutory or other law regarding fraudulent
conveyances, preferential transfers and equitable subordination;
(b) general principles of equity, including but not limited to judicial
decisions holding that certain provisions are unenforceable when
their enforcement would violate the implied covenant of good faith
and fair dealing, or would be commercially unreasonable or involve
undue delay, whether or not such principles or decisions have been
codified by statute;
(c) Section 1670.5 of the California Civil Code or any other California
or United States federal law or provision of the DGCL or equitable
principle which provides that a court may refuse to enforce, or may
limit the application of, a contract or any clause thereof that the
court finds to have been unconscionable at the time it was made,
unconscionable in performance or contrary to public policy;
(d) any provision of any Transaction Document purporting to (i) exclude
conflict of law principles under any law or (ii) select certain
courts as the venue, or establish a particular jurisdiction as the
forum, for the adjudication of any controversy;
(e) judicial decisions, that may permit the introduction of extrinsic
evidence to modify the terms or the interpretation of the
Transaction Document;
(f) the tax or accounting consequences of any transaction contemplated

In rendering the opinion in paragraph 5 and paragraph 8 below relating
to consents, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations and filings
under, or pursuant to, Applicable Laws, such opinions are limited to Applicable
Laws that in our experience are typically applicable to transactions of the
nature provided for in the Transaction Document.
In rendering the opinion expressed in paragraphs 8 and 9 below, we
have assumed the accuracy of, and have relied upon, the Company's
representations to us that the Company has made no offer to sell the Common
Stock by means of any general solicitation or publication of any advertisement
therefor and we have assumed that the offer and sale of the Common Stock is not
integrated with any future securities offering of the Company.
In accordance with Section 95 of the American Law Institute's
Restatement (Third) of the Law Governing Lawyers (2000), this opinion letter is
to be interpreted in accordance with customary practices of lawyers rendering
opinions to third parties in transactions of the type provided for in the
Transaction Documents.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and except as set forth in the
Equity Credit Agreement, as of the date of this letter we are of the following
opinion.
(1) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, and has all corporate
power and authority necessary to own its properties and to conduct its business
as, to our knowledge, it is presently conducted.
(2) The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in,
and is in good standing under laws of the States of California.
(3) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Document.
(4) All corporate action has been taken on the part of the Company's Board
of Directors that is necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of
the Transaction Document by the Company and the performance of by the Company of
the obligations to be performed by the Company as of the date hereof under the
Transaction Document.
(5) Each of the Transaction Document constitutes valid and binding
obligations of the Company, enforceable by you against the Company in accordance
with its terms.
(6) The Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Equity Credit Agreement,
has been duly and validly reserved for issuance and, when and if issued in
accordance with the terms of, and assuming no change in, the Equity Credit
Agreement, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law, will
be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(7) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Document
does not, as of the date of this letter, result in a violation of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company.
(8) No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration
or filing with, any governmental authority pursuant to any Applicable Law is
required on the part of the Company in connection with the valid execution,
delivery and performance, as of the date of this letter, of the Transaction
Document.
(9) Based in part upon the representations made by you in the Equity
Credit Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Common Stock to you in
accordance with the terms of the Equity Credit Agreement, assuming no change in
the Equity Credit Agreement, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or
applicable law, constitute transactions exempt from the registration
requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
22
In addition to the foregoing, we supplementally inform you that, to our
knowledge and except as set forth on the SEC Documents, there is no action,
suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened in writing against the
Company that questions the validity of the Transaction Document or the right of
the Company to enter into the Transaction Document. Please note that we have not
conducted a docket search in any jurisdiction with respect to litigation that
may be pending against the Company or any of its affiliates, officers or
directors, nor, other than to request the Opinion Certificate from the Company,
have we undertaken any further inquiry whatsoever in connection with the
existence any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation.
This opinion is rendered as of the date first written above solely for
your benefit pursuant to the Equity Credit Agreement and may not be relied on
by, nor may any copy be delivered to, any other person without our prior written
consent. Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we
render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters
relating to the Company. We assume no obligation to inform you of any fact,
circumstance, event or change in the law or the facts that may hereafter be
brought to our attention that may alter, affect or modify the opinions expressed
herein.

[Transfer Agent]
[Address]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain Private Equity Credit Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of February ___, 2006, between Execute Sports, Inc., a
Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and Skiva Graphics & Screen Printing, Inc.
(the "Investor"). Pursuant to the Agreement, and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Investor has agreed to purchase from
the Company and the Company has agreed to sell to the Investor from time to time
during the term of the Agreement, shares of Common Stock of the Company, $.001
par value per share (the "Common Stock"). As a condition to the effectiveness of
the Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to you, as the transfer agent for
the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent"), these instructions relating to the
Common Stock to be issued to the Investor (or a permitted assignee) pursuant to
the Agreement. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meaning set forth in the Agreement. The shares of Common Stock issuable to the
Investor pursuant to the Agreement are referred to herein as "Underlying
Shares."
This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to
you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time) to
issue shares of Common Stock upon a request from the Company for the issuance of
certificates.
So long as you have previously received an opinion of the Company's
counsel substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto (which the
Company shall direct be delivered to you by such counsel upon the effectiveness
of the registration statement covering Underlying Shares) stating that a
registration statement covering resales of Underlying Shares has been declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and that Underlying Shares may be resold without any
restrictive legend (the "Opinion"), certificates representing Underlying Shares
shall not bear a legend provided that:
(a) in connection with such event, the Investor (or its permitted
assignee) shall confirm in writing to the Transfer Agent that (i) the Investor
confirms to the Transfer Agent that it has sold, pledged or otherwise
transferred or agreed to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Common Stock in
a bona fide transaction to a transferee that is not an affiliate of the Company;
and (ii) the Investor confirms to the Transfer Agent that the Investor has
complied, or will comply with the prospectus delivery requirement;
(b) the Investor (or its permitted assignee) shall represent that it is
permitted to dispose thereof with limitation as to amount of manner of sale
pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.
Provided, however, that if you have not previously received a copy of the
Opinion, then the certificates for Underlying Shares shall bear the following
legend:
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or
qualified under applicable state securities laws. These securities may not
be offered, sold, pledged, hypothecated, transferred or otherwise disposed
of except pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement and
qualification in effect with respect thereto under the Securities Act and
under applicable state securities law, (ii) to the extent applicable, Rule
144 under the Securities Act, or (iii) an opinion of counsel reasonable
acceptable to the Company that such registration and qualification is not
required under applicable federal and state securities laws."
25
and, provided further, that the Company may from time to time notify you to
place stop-transfer restrictions on the certificates for Underlying Shares in
the event a registration statement covering Underlying Shares is subject to
amendment for events then current.
If the Company then is participating in the Depository Trust Company
("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon request of
Investor, the Transfer Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
electronically transmit the Put Shares by crediting the account of the holder's
prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC")
system, and provide proof satisfactory to the Investor or the Escrow Agent of
such delivery.
Please be advised that the Investors have relied upon this letter as
an inducement to enter into the Agreement and, accordingly, the Investor is a
third party beneficiary to these instructions.

related to a Put Notice supplied by any party and relied upon in good faith by
the Escrow Agent.
7. The Escrow Agent has acted as legal counsel for the Investor and may
continue to act as legal counsel for such party, from time to time,
notwithstanding its duties as the Escrow Agent hereunder. The Company consents
to the Escrow Agent acting in such capacity as legal counsel for the Investor
and waives any claim that such representation represents a conflict of interest

the Escrow Agent are relying explicitly on the foregoing provision in entering
into these Escrow Instructions. 8. The Escrow Agent's responsibilities as escrow

notice to the Company and the Investor. In the event of any such resignation,
the Investor and the Company shall appoint a successor Escrow Agent.
9. If the Escrow Agent reasonably requires other or further instruments in

hereto, the necessary parties hereto shall join in furnishing such instruments.
10. It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with respect
to the delivery and/or ownership or right of possession of the Shares, documents
or the Escrow Funds held by the Escrow Agent hereunder ("Escrow Dispute"), the
Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to retain in the Escrow Agent's
possession without liability to anyone all or any part of said documents or the
Escrow Funds until such disputes shall have been settled either by mutual
written agreement of the parties concerned or by arbitration as set forth below,
but the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend
any such proceedings.
In the event of any Escrow Dispute, Investor and the Company will submit

within thirty (30) days following the date of either party's Request, then an
arbitrator will be appointed by the AAA pursuant to the Rules. The place of

its own costs and attorneys' fees. All papers, documents, or evidence, whether
written or oral, filed with or presented in connection with the arbitration
proceeding will be deemed by the parties and by the arbitrator to be

11. The Company and the Investor agree jointly and severally to indemnify
and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from any and all claims, liabilities, costs
or expenses in any way arising from or relating to the duties or performance of
the Escrow Agent hereunder other than any such claim, liability, cost or expense
to the extent the same shall (a) have been tax obligations in connection with
Escrow Agent's fee hereunder, or (b) have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent.

FORM OF WARRANT
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR
SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR

30
(d) The Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares
issuable to it in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1 on the
Exercise Date.
(e) The Holder may elect to exercise a portion of this Warrant
without electing to redeem the balance of this Warrant, unless if (i) the
stock's bid price closes above the "A" warrant exercise price, or $0.80, for
more than 10 consecutive trading days, and (ii) its cumulative trading volume
within that 10 day period is at least 2 times the number of warrant shares
outstanding and unexercised during that period, then warrant holders must
exercise remaining balance of Warrant in its entirety within 60 days from the
first day immediately after the last day of the 10 consecutive trading day
period (the "Mandatory Warrant Exercise").
2.2 Certain Definitions. As used herein, each of the following terms has
the meaning set forth below, unless the context otherwise requires:
(a) "Expiration Date" means the date on which the last calendar of
the month in which the second anniversary of the Effective Date occurs.
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, the Reservation Percentage of the number of shares of its Common Stock
as shall be required for issuance of the Warrant Shares for the then unexercised
portion of this Warrant. For the purposes of such calculations, the Company

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. Except as set forth in this Section 5, 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. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Warrant, the Agreement or of the other Transaction Agreements, if the Company
shall declare a dividend upon the Common Stock (whether payable out of earnings
or earned surplus or otherwise), then the Company shall pay to the Holder an
amount equal to the dividend payment which would have been paid to the Holder
had all of the Holder's unexercised Warrants outstanding on the record date for
determining the amount of dividend payments to be paid to security holders of
the Company been exercised as of the close of business on the Trading Day
immediately before such record date.
6. Protection Against Dilution and Other Adjustments.
6.1 Adjustment Mechanism. If an adjustment of the Exercise Price is
required pursuant to this Section 6 (other than pursuant to Section 6.4), the
Holder shall be entitled to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as
31
will cause (i) (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled
to purchase pursuant to this Warrant following such adjustment, multiplied by
(y) the adjusted Exercise Price per share, to equal the result of (ii) (x) the
dollar amount of the total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled
to purchase before adjustment, multiplied by (y) the total Exercise Price before
adjustment.
6.2 Capital Adjustments. In case of any stock split or reverse stock
split, stock dividend, reclassification of the Common Stock, recapitalization,
merger or consolidation (where the Company is not the surviving entity), the
provisions of this Section 6 shall be applied as if such capital adjustment
event had occurred immediately prior to the date of this Warrant and the
original Exercise Price had been fairly allocated to the stock resulting from
such capital adjustment; and in other respects the provisions of this Section
shall be applied in a fair, equitable and reasonable manner so as to give
effect, as nearly as may be, to the purposes hereof. A rights offering to
stockholders shall be deemed a stock dividend to the extent of the bargain
purchase element of the rights. The Company will not effect any consolidation or
merger, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor or acquiring
entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the
successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the
holders of the Common Stock of the Company are entitled to receive as a result
of such consolidation or merger assumes by written instrument the obligations
under this Warrant (including under this Section 6) and the obligations to
deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets
as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to
acquire.
6.3 Adjustment for Spin Off. If, for any reason, prior to the exercise of
this Warrant in full, the Company spins off or otherwise divests itself of a
part of its business or operations or disposes all or of a part of its assets in
a transaction (the "Spin Off") in which the Company does not receive
compensation for such business, operations or assets, but causes securities of
another entity (the "Spin Off Securities") to be issued to security holders of
the Company, then the Company shall cause (i) to be reserved Spin Off Securities
equal to the number thereof which would have been issued to the Holder had all
of the Holder's unexercised Warrants outstanding on the record date (the "Record
Date") for determining the amount and number of Spin Off Securities to be issued
to security holders of the Company (the "Outstanding Warrants") been exercised
as of the close of business on the Trading Day immediately before the Record
Date (the "Reserved Spin Off Shares"), and (ii) to be issued to the Holder on
the exercise of all or any of the Outstanding Warrants, such amount of the
Reserved Spin Off Shares equal to (x) the Reserved Spin Off Shares, multiplied
by (y) a fraction, of which (I) the numerator is the amount of the Outstanding
Warrants then being exercised, and (II) the denominator is the amount of the
Outstanding Warrants.

ARTICLE I. ATTACHMENT A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), dated as of the date of
acceptance of the Warrant to which this Agreement is annexed as Attachment A, is
made by and between EXECUTE SPORTS, INC. , a Nevada corporation (the "Company")
and each entity named on a signature page hereto (each, a "Buyer") (each
agreement with an Buyer being deemed a separate and independent agreement
between the Company and such Buyer, except that each Buyer acknowledges and
consents to the rights granted to each other Buyer under such agreement).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Warrant dated as of
________________ between the Buyer and the Company (terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase
Agreement), the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Buyer the Purchased
Shares; and
WHEREAS, to induce the Buyer to execute and deliver the Warrant, the Company has
agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor
statute (collectively, the "Securities Act"), with respect to the Securities;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Buyer hereby
agree as follows:
1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
(a) "Investor" means the Buyer and any permitted transferee or assignee who
agrees to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with
Section 9 hereof and who holds Registrable Securities.
(b) "Potential Material Event" means any of the following: (i) the possession by
the Company of material information not ripe for disclosure in a registration
statement, which shall be evidenced by determinations in good faith by the Board
of Directors of the Company that disclosure of such information in the
registration statement would be detrimental to the business and affairs of the
Company; (ii) any material engagement or activity by the Company which would, in
the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, be
adversely affected by disclosure in a registration statement at such time, which
determination shall be accompanied by a good faith determination by the Board of
Directors of the Company that the registration statement would be materially
misleading absent the inclusion of such information; or (iii) an underwritten
public offering of securities (a "UPO") by the Company.
(c) "Register," "Registered," and "Registration" refer to a registration
effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement or Statements in
compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities
Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous
basis ("Rule 415"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such
Registration Statement by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC").
35
(d) "Registrable Securities" means the Securities (including the Purchased
Shares and the Warrant Shares).
(e) "Registration Statement" means a registration statement of the Company under
the Securities Act on Form S-3, if the Company is then eligible to file using
such form, and if not so eligible, on Form SB-2 or other appropriate form or an
amendment to an existing Registration Statement covering the Registrable
Securities.
2. Registration.
(a) Mandatory Registration.
(i) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, as soon as possible
after the exercise of any of portion of the warrant or the warrant in its
entirety registering for resale by the Investor a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock for the Buyers to sell the Registrable Securities (or such lesser
number as may be required by the SEC, but in no event less than the number of
shares equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Purchased Shares). The
Registration Statement shall state that, to the extent permitted by the SEC, in
accordance with Rule 416 and 457 under the Securities Act, it also covers such
indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable
to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, or stock dividends.
3. Obligations of the Company. In connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities, the Company shall do each of the following:
(a) Prepare promptly, and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with
respect to not less than the number of Registrable Securities provided in
Section 2(a) above, and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause such
Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective by
the Required Effective Date and keep the Registration Statement effective at all
times during the period (the "Registration Period") continuing until the
earliest of (i) the date that is two (2) years after the last day of the
calendar month following the month in which the Effective Date occurs, (ii) the
date when the Investors may sell all Registrable Securities under Rule 144
without volume or other restrictions or limits, or (iii) the date the Investors
no longer own any of the Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement
(including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained
therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading;
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus
used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep
the Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration
Period, and, during the Registration Period, comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of
the Company covered by the Registration Statement until such time as all of such
Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the
Registration Statement;
(c) Notify each Investor immediately and (if requested by any such Person)
confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) business day following the
day (i) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC or
any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements
36
to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii)
of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iv) if at any time any of the
representations or warranties of the Company contained in any agreement
(including any underwriting agreement) contemplated hereby ceases to be true and
correct in all material respects; (v) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose; and (vi) of the occurrence of any event that to the best knowledge of
the Company makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus
or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference
untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the
Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(d) Furnish to each Investor (i) promptly after the same is prepared and
publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company, one (1)
copy of the Registration Statement, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus,
and each amendment or supplement thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of a
prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents,
as such Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition
of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor;
(e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware thereof, notify each
Investor of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge, as a
result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then
in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and use its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or
amendment to the Registration Statement or other appropriate filing with the SEC
to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a number of copies of
such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably
request;
(f) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware thereof, notify each
Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an
underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by the SEC of
a Notice of Effectiveness or any notice of effectiveness or any stop order or
other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the
earliest possible time;
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time or from time to time after the
date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, upon receipt of any notice
from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
3(e) or 3(f) above, the Investors shall not offer or sell any Registrable
Securities, or engage in any other transaction involving or relating to the
Registrable Securities, from the time of the giving of such notice until such
Investor receives written notice from the Company that such notice is no longer
in effect;
(h) Use its reasonable efforts to maintain the quotation and trading of its
common stock, and the quotation of the Registrable Securities on the OTCBB; and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two
market makers to register with the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. as such with respect to such Registrable Securities;
37
(i) Provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for
the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration
Statement;
(j) Cooperate with the Investors to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates for the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant
to the Registration Statement and enable such certificates for the Registrable
Securities to be in such denominations or amounts as the case may be, as the
Investors may reasonably request, and, within three (3) business days after a
Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities is ordered
effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel
selected by the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable
Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are
included in such Registration Statement) an appropriate instruction and opinion
of such counsel; and
(k) Take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate
disposition by the Investor of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Registration Statement.
4. Obligations of the Investors. In connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities, the Investors shall have the following obligations:
(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to
complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the
Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish
to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities
held by it, and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities
held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such
Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such
registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least ten (10) days prior
to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company
shall notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from each
such Investor (the "Requested Information") if such Investor elects to have any
of such Investor's Registrable Securities included in the Registration
Statement. If at least two (2) business days prior to the filing date the
Company has not received the Requested Information from an Investor (a
"Non-Responsive Investor"), then the Company may file the Registration Statement
without including Registrable Securities of such Non-Responsive Investor;
(b) Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable Securities,
agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in
connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement
hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such
Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities
from the Registration Statement;
(c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of
the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f) above,
such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities
until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f) and, if so directed by the
Company, such Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the
Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction)
all copies in such Investor's possession, of the prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. The
Company may provide appropriate stock transfer orders in order to enforce the
provisions of this section; and
(d) Each investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements of the 1934 Act as applicable to it in connection with the
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
38
5. Expenses of Registration.
(a) All reasonable expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions
of the Investor) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Section 3, but including, without limitation, all
registration, listing, and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees,
the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the
Company.
(b) The Company shall not, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company on or
after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its
securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investors in this
Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
6. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless
each Investor who holds such Registrable Securities, the directors, if any, of
such Investor, the officers, if any, of such Investor, and each person, if any,
who controls any such Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Person" or "Indemnified Party"), against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (joint or several) incurred
(collectively, "Claims") to which any of them may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or
actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or
violations in the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment
thereof, or any prospectus included therein: (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as
amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state
therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in
light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not
misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or
regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities
law (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively,
"Violations"). Subject to clause (b) of this Section 6, the Company shall
reimburse the Investors, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement
contained in this Section 6(a) shall not (I) apply to a Claim arising out of or
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any
Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if
such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section
3(c) hereof; (II) be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of
the Investor to deliver or cause to be delivered the prospectus made available
by the Company; or (III) apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if
such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each Investor will indemnify
the Company and its officers, directors and agents (each, an "Indemnified
Person" or "Indemnified Party") against any claims arising out of or based upon
a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company, by or on behalf of such Investor, expressly
for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, or a
Violation that arises due to a Securities Act or Exchange Act violation by such
Investor pursuant to the sale of shares of the Company by such Investor, subject
to such limitations and conditions as are applicable to the indemnification
provided by the Company to this Section 6. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities
by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
39
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under
this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a
Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this
Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the
commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and
the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be. In case any
such action is brought against any Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, and
it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, assume the defense
thereof, subject to the provisions herein stated and after notice from the
indemnifying party to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 for
any legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses subsequently incurred by
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the indemnifying
party shall not pursue the action to its final conclusion. The Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in
any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of
the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the
action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying
party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of
the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such
expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
7. Contribution. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that
(a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not
have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in
Section 6; (b) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and (c) contribution by any
seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of
proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
8. Reports under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Investors
the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other
similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors
to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule
144"), the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood
and defined in Rule 144;
40
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable
Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report
of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and
(iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the
Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
9. Assignment of the Registration Rights. The rights to have the Company
register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be
automatically assigned by the Investors to any transferee of the Registrable
Securities only if: (a) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or
assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the
Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (b) the Company is,
within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with
written notice of (i) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and
(ii) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being
transferred or assigned, (c) immediately following such transfer or assignment
the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is
restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and
(d) at or before the time the Company received the written notice contemplated
by clause (b) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with
the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein. In the event
of any delay in filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement as a
result of such assignment, the Company shall not be liable for any damages
arising from such delay, or the payments set forth in Section 2(c) hereof
arising from such delay.
10. Amendment of Registration Rights. Any provision of this Agreement may be
amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and Investors who hold a sixty-seven (67%)
percent interest of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected
in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the
Company.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities
whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable Securities. If
the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or
more persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the
Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received
from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.
(b) Notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given in the
manner contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) if to the Company
or to the Buyer, to their respective address contemplated by the Securities
Purchase Agreement, and (ii) if to any other Investor, at such address as such
Investor shall have provided in writing to the Company, or at such other address
as each such party furnishes by notice given in accordance with this Section
11(b).
(c) Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or
otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not
operate as a waiver thereof.
41

INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts

FORM OF WARRANT
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR
SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
1. Issuance. In consideration of good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by EXECUTE SPORTS,
INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), LEON MONFORT., registered assigns
(the "Holder") is hereby granted the right to purchase at any time, on or after
the Issue Date (as defined below) until 5:00 P.M., San Diego time, on the
Expiration Date (as defined below), Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) fully paid
and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per
share (the "Common Stock"), at an exercise price per share (the "Exercise
Price") of $0.35. This Warrant is being issued pursuant to and as a condition on
the Equity Line Agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Holder
on March 3, 2006 (the "Equity Line"), to which the Company and Holder are
parties. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Warrant was originally issued to the
Holder or the Holder's predecessor on _______________, 2006 (the "Issue Date").
2. Exercise of Warrants.
2.1 General.
(a) This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and
from time to time commencing on the Issue Date. Such exercise shall be
effectuated by submitting to the Company (either by delivery to the Company or
by facsimile transmission as provided in Section 8 hereof) a completed and duly
executed Notice of Exercise (substantially in the form attached to this Warrant
Certificate) as provided in the Notice of Exercise (or revised by notice given
by the Company as contemplated by the Section headed "NOTICES" in the
Agreement). The date such Notice of Exercise is faxed to the Company shall be
the "Exercise Date," provided that, if such exercise represents the full
exercise of the outstanding balance of the Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant
tenders this Warrant Certificate to the Company within five (5) Trading Days
thereafter. The Notice of Exercise shall be executed by the Holder of this
Warrant and shall indicate (i) the number of shares then being purchased
pursuant to such exercise and (ii) if applicable (as provided below), whether
the exercise is a cashless exercise.
(b) The Exercise Price per share of Common Stock for the shares then
being exercised shall be payable, at the election of the Holder, in cash or by
certified or official bank check or by wire transfer in accordance with
instructions provided by the Company at the request of the Holder.
(c) Upon the appropriate payment of the Exercise Price for the
shares of Common Stock purchased, together with the surrender of this Warrant
Certificate, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or
certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased. The Company shall
deliver such certificates representing the Warrant Shares in accordance with the
instructions of the Holder as provided in the Notice of Exercise (the
certificates delivered in such manner, the "Warrant Share Certificates") within
three (3) Trading Days (such third Trading Day, a "Warrant Share Delivery Date")
of the date the payment of the Exercise Price for the relevant Warrant Shares is
received by the Company.
44
(d) The Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares
issuable to it in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1 on the
Exercise Date.
(e) The Holder may elect to exercise a portion of this Warrant
without electing to redeem the balance of this Warrant, unless if (i) the
stock's bid price closes above the "A" warrant exercise price, or $0.80, for
more than 10 consecutive trading days, and (ii) its cumulative trading volume
within that 10 day period is at least 2 times the number of warrant shares
outstanding and unexercised during that period, then warrant holders must
exercise remaining balance of Warrant in its entirety within 60 days from the
first day immediately after the last day of the 10 consecutive trading day
period (the "Mandatory Warrant Exercise").
2.2 Certain Definitions. As used herein, each of the following terms has
the meaning set forth below, unless the context otherwise requires:
(a) "Expiration Date" means the date on which the last calendar of
the month in which the second anniversary of the Effective Date occurs.
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, the Reservation Percentage of the number of shares of its Common Stock
as shall be required for issuance of the Warrant Shares for the then unexercised
portion of this Warrant. For the purposes of such calculations, the Company
should assume that the outstanding portion of this Warrants were exercisable in
full at any time, without regard to any restrictions which might limit the
Holder's right to exercise any portion of this Warrant held by the Holder.
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. Except as set forth in this Section 5, 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. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Warrant, the Agreement or of the other Transaction Agreements, if the Company
shall declare a dividend upon the Common Stock (whether payable out of earnings
or earned surplus or otherwise), then the Company shall pay to the Holder an
amount equal to the dividend payment which would have been paid to the Holder
had all of the Holder's unexercised Warrants outstanding on the record date for
determining the amount of dividend payments to be paid to security holders of
the Company been exercised as of the close of business on the Trading Day
immediately before such record date.
6. Protection Against Dilution and Other Adjustments.
45
6.1 Adjustment Mechanism. If an adjustment of the Exercise Price is
required pursuant to this Section 6 (other than pursuant to Section 6.4), the
Holder shall be entitled to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as
will cause (i) (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled
to purchase pursuant to this Warrant following such adjustment, multiplied by
(y) the adjusted Exercise Price per share, to equal the result of (ii) (x) the
dollar amount of the total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled
to purchase before adjustment, multiplied by (y) the total Exercise Price before
adjustment.
6.2 Capital Adjustments. In case of any stock split or reverse stock
split, stock dividend, reclassification of the Common Stock, recapitalization,
merger or consolidation (where the Company is not the surviving entity), the
provisions of this Section 6 shall be applied as if such capital adjustment
event had occurred immediately prior to the date of this Warrant and the
original Exercise Price had been fairly allocated to the stock resulting from
such capital adjustment; and in other respects the provisions of this Section
shall be applied in a fair, equitable and reasonable manner so as to give
effect, as nearly as may be, to the purposes hereof. A rights offering to
stockholders shall be deemed a stock dividend to the extent of the bargain
purchase element of the rights. The Company will not effect any consolidation or
merger, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor or acquiring
entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the
successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the
holders of the Common Stock of the Company are entitled to receive as a result
of such consolidation or merger assumes by written instrument the obligations
under this Warrant (including under this Section 6) and the obligations to
deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets
as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to
acquire.
6.3 Adjustment for Spin Off. If, for any reason, prior to the exercise of
this Warrant in full, the Company spins off or otherwise divests itself of a
part of its business or operations or disposes all or of a part of its assets in
a transaction (the "Spin Off") in which the Company does not receive
compensation for such business, operations or assets, but causes securities of
another entity (the "Spin Off Securities") to be issued to security holders of
the Company, then the Company shall cause (i) to be reserved Spin Off Securities
equal to the number thereof which would have been issued to the Holder had all
of the Holder's unexercised Warrants outstanding on the record date (the "Record
Date") for determining the amount and number of Spin Off Securities to be issued
to security holders of the Company (the "Outstanding Warrants") been exercised
as of the close of business on the Trading Day immediately before the Record
Date (the "Reserved Spin Off Shares"), and (ii) to be issued to the Holder on
the exercise of all or any of the Outstanding Warrants, such amount of the
Reserved Spin Off Shares equal to (x) the Reserved Spin Off Shares, multiplied
by (y) a fraction, of which (I) the numerator is the amount of the Outstanding
Warrants then being exercised, and (II) the denominator is the amount of the
Outstanding Warrants.
7. Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act; Registration Rights.
7.1 Transfer. This Warrant has not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Act") and has been issued to the Holder for

Company; (ii) any material engagement or activity by the Company which would, in
the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, be
adversely affected by disclosure in a registration statement at such time, which
determination shall be accompanied by a good faith determination by the Board of
Directors of the Company that the registration statement would be materially

statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading;
(m) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective

the Company makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus
or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference

the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(o) Furnish to each Investor (i) promptly after the same is prepared and
publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company, one (1)
copy of the Registration Statement, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus,

3(e) or 3(f) above, the Investors shall not offer or sell any Registrable
Securities, or engage in any other transaction involving or relating to the
Registrable Securities, from the time of the giving of such notice until such
Investor receives written notice from the Company that such notice is no longer
in effect;
(s) Use its reasonable efforts to maintain the quotation and trading of its
common stock, and the quotation of the Registrable Securities on the OTCBB; and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two
market makers to register with the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. as such with respect to such Registrable Securities;
51
(t) Provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for

Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are
included in such Registration Statement) an appropriate instruction and opinion
of such counsel; and
(v) Take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate
disposition by the Investor of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the

4. Obligations of the Investors. In connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities, the Investors shall have the following obligations:
(e) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to
complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the
Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish
to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities
held by it, and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities
held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such
Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such
registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least ten (10) days prior
to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company
shall notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from each
such Investor (the "Requested Information") if such Investor elects to have any
of such Investor's Registrable Securities included in the Registration
Statement. If at least two (2) business days prior to the filing date the
Company has not received the Requested Information from an Investor (a
"Non-Responsive Investor"), then the Company may file the Registration Statement
without including Registrable Securities of such Non-Responsive Investor;
(f) Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable Securities,
agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in
connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement
hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such
Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities
from the Registration Statement;
(g) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of
the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f) above,
such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities
until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f) and, if so directed by the
Company, such Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the
Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction)
all copies in such Investor's possession, of the prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. The
Company may provide appropriate stock transfer orders in order to enforce the
provisions of this section; and
52
(h) Each investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements of the 1934 Act as applicable to it in connection with the
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
5. Expenses of Registration.
(c) All reasonable expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions
of the Investor) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Section 3, but including, without limitation, all
registration, listing, and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees,
the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the
Company.
(d) The Company shall not, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company on or
after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its
securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investors in this
Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
6. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless
each Investor who holds such Registrable Securities, the directors, if any, of
such Investor, the officers, if any, of such Investor, and each person, if any,
who controls any such Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Person" or "Indemnified Party"), against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (joint or several) incurred
(collectively, "Claims") to which any of them may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or
actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or
violations in the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment
thereof, or any prospectus included therein: (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as
amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state
therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in
light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not
misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or
regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities
law (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively,
"Violations"). Subject to clause (b) of this Section 6, the Company shall
reimburse the Investors, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement
contained in this Section 6(a) shall not (I) apply to a Claim arising out of or
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any
Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if
such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section
3(c) hereof; (II) be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of
the Investor to deliver or cause to be delivered the prospectus made available
by the Company; or (III) apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if
such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each Investor will indemnify
the Company and its officers, directors and agents (each, an "Indemnified
Person" or "Indemnified Party") against any claims arising out of or based upon
a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company, by or on behalf of such Investor, expressly
for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, or a
Violation that arises due to a Securities Act or Exchange Act violation by such
Investor pursuant to the sale of shares of the Company by such Investor, subject
to such limitations and conditions as are applicable to the indemnification
provided by the Company to this Section 6. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities
by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
53
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under
this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a
Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this
Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the
commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and
the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be. In case any
such action is brought against any Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, and
it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, assume the defense
thereof, subject to the provisions herein stated and after notice from the
indemnifying party to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 for
any legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses subsequently incurred by
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the indemnifying
party shall not pursue the action to its final conclusion. The Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in
any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of
the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the
action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying
party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of
the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such
expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
7. Contribution. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that
(a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not
have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in
Section 6; (b) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and (c) contribution by any
seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of
proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

8. Reports under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Investors
the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other
similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors
to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule
144"), the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood
and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable
Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report
of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and
(iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the
Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
9. Assignment of the Registration Rights. The rights to have the Company
register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be
automatically assigned by the Investors to any transferee of the Registrable
Securities only if: (a) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or
assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the
Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (b) the Company is,
within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with
written notice of (i) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and
(ii) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being
transferred or assigned, (c) immediately following such transfer or assignment
the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is
restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and
(d) at or before the time the Company received the written notice contemplated
by clause (b) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with
the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein. In the event
of any delay in filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement as a
result of such assignment, the Company shall not be liable for any damages
arising from such delay, or the payments set forth in Section 2(c) hereof
arising from such delay.
10. Amendment of Registration Rights. Any provision of this Agreement may be
amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and Investors who hold a sixty-seven (67%)
percent interest of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected
in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the
Company.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities
whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable Securities. If
the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or
more persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the
Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received
from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.
(b) Notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given in the
manner contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) if to the Company
or to the Buyer, to their respective address contemplated by the Securities
Purchase Agreement, and (ii) if to any other Investor, at such address as such
Investor shall have provided in writing to the Company, or at such other address
as each such party furnishes by notice given in accordance with this Section
11(b).
55
(c) Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or
otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not
operate as a waiver thereof.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
