(b) Cashless Exercise.

Y equals the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrant, or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised at the date of such calculation;
 
A equals the Fair Market Value (at the date of such calculation) of one share of Common Stock; and

4.1 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Stock Dividends. The Warrant Price of this Warrant and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall each be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

4.3 Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. In case of any recapitalization or reorganization of the Company after the date of this Warrant, or in case, after such date, the Company shall consolidate with or merge into another corporation, then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant (as provided in Section 2), at any time after the consummation of such recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation or merger, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation or merger if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant, and the successor or purchasing corporation in such reorganization, consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement hereto acknowledging such corporation’s obligations under this Warrant; and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger.
 
4.4 Conversion of Stock.

4.5 Adjustments Due to Dilutive Issuances.
 
(a) Adjustment of Warrant Shares for Dilutive Issuances. If, during the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending immediately following the consummation by the Company of an Additional Financing, the Company consummates a Dilutive Issuance, then this Warrant shall become exercisable for an additional number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
 

4

 
(i) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased by such number of shares of Common Stock as shall result in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant shall be exercisable to equal (x) the sum of the number of Shares and Additional Investor Shares then issued and issuable to the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement at the then-prevailing Adjusted Purchase Price, (y) multiplied by 0.50; and
 
(ii) if the Dilutive Issuance shall consist of the issuance, in one or a series of related transactions, of both (x) shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) (collectively, “Dilutive Shares”) and (y) warrants, options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) (collectively, “Dilutive Warrants”), then the number of Warrant Shares shall be further increased by such number of shares of Common Stock as shall result in the ratio of the sum of the Shares and Additional Investor Shares to Warrant Shares being equal to the ratio of Dilutive Shares to Dilutive Warrants issued or issuable in the Dilutive Issuance.
 
(b) Adjustment of Warrant Price. In addition to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Warrant, if the Company shall consummate a Dilutive Issuance described in paragraph (a) above that includes Dilutive Warrants with an exercise price per share of Common Stock (determined in the manner described in Section 2.2 of the Purchase Agreement) less than the Warrant Price (as most recently adjusted prior to such Dilutive Issuance), then the Warrant Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to such lower exercise price per share of Common Stock in such Dilutive Issuance.
 
4.6 Notice of Adjustments. The Company shall promptly give written notice of each adjustment or readjustment of the Warrant Price or the number or types of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The notice shall describe the adjustment or readjustment, including the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property for which this Warrant thereafter shall be exercisable, and show in reasonable detail the facts on which the adjustment or readjustment is based.
 
4.7 No Change Necessary. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Warrant Price or in the number of shares or class of securities issuable upon its exercise.
 
4.8 Reservation of Stock. If and when necessary, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, the Company of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
