This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:
ARTICLE I.
EXERCISE; RESERVATION OF SHARES
Section 1.01 Warrant Exercise. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date and prior to the expiration of this Warrant, upon Notice, by the surrender at the principal office of the Company of this Warrant together with a duly executed subscription in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (“Subscription Form”) and accompanied by payment, in certified or immediately available funds, of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Subscription Form. The shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall be exercised as hereinabove provided. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of shares that shall be issued upon such exercise shall be rounded to the nearest whole share without the payment or receipt of any additional consideration.
Section 1.02 Certificates. Certificates for the shares purchased pursuant to Section 1.01 shall be delivered to the Holder within ten (10) days after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, and a new Warrant in the name of the Holder representing the rights, if any, that shall not have been exercised prior to the Expiration Date with respect to this Warrant shall also be delivered to such Holder within such time, with such new Warrant to be identical in all other respects to this Warrant. The Holder shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares on the date this Warrant was exercised (the date the Holder has fully complied with the requirements of Section 1.01), irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares; provided that, if the date such exercise is made is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. The term “Warrant,” as used herein, includes any Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or combined and any subsequent Warrants issued upon the transfer or exchange or reissuance upon loss hereof.
Section 1.03 Company Covenants. The Company represents, warrants, covenants and agrees:
(a) That all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof; and
(b) That during the period the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue and delivery upon exercise of the rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
ARTICLE II.
ADJUSTMENTS
Section 2.01 Adjustment Events.
(a) Capital Events. If any reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation (in any instance, a “Capital Event”) shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for their Common Stock, then, as a condition of such Capital Event, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, an amount of such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as may have been issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby had such Capital Event not taken place.
2 |
(b) Preservation of Value. In the case of any Capital Event, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price hereof) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby.
(c) Obligation Expressly Assumed. The Company shall not effect any consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation into or for the securities of which the previously outstanding stock of the Company shall be changed in connection with such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing such assets, as the case may be, shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase.
Section 2.02 Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In the event that the Company shall at any time subdivide or split its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares subject to issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased. In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the number of shares subject to issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately decreased. Any such increase or decrease, as the case may be, shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination, as the case may be, becomes effective.
Section 2.03 Stock Dividends. In the event that the Company shall at any time declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock payable in stock, the number of Warrant Shares subject to issuance upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased by the number (and the kind) of shares which would have been issued to the holder of this Warrant if this Warrant were exercised immediately prior to such dividend. Such increase shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date for such dividend or distribution.
Section 2.04 Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares of the Company owned or held by or for the account of the Company.
3 |
Section 2.05 Minimum Adjustment. No adjustment in the number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant as provided in this Article II shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease in such number of shares of at least one percent (1%) of the then adjusted number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that any such adjustments that by reason of the foregoing are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account and included in determining the amount of any subsequent adjustment; and provided further, that if the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock or issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend, said percentage shall forthwith be proportionately adjusted so as to appropriately reflect the same.
Section 2.06 Adjustment of Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, and effective at the time such adjustment is effective, as provided in Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 of this Article II, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest whole cent) by multiplying each such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of each such Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter. The Company may retain a firm of independent certified public accountants (which may not be the regular accountants employed by the Company) to make any required computation, and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
Section 2.07 Record Date. In the event that the Company shall not take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed for the purposes of this Article II to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend.
Section 2.8 Officer’s Certificate. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Article II, the Company shall forthwith file with its Secretary and retain in the permanent records of the Company, an officer’s certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined as provided in this Article II, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment, including a statement of the number of additional or fewer shares of Common Stock, and such other facts as may be reasonably necessary to show the reason for and the method of computing such adjustment. Each such officer’s certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the Holder.
Section 2.9 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

Section 2.10 Definition of “Common Stock”. As used in this Article II, the term “Common Stock” shall mean and include all of the Company’s authorized Common Stock of any class as constituted on the Effective Date, and shall also include any capital stock of any class of the Company thereafter authorized that shall not be limited to a fixed sum or stated value in respect of the rights of the holders thereof to participate in dividends or the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
ARTICLE III.
