5.2. | Exercise for Cash. If the Holder, at its sole discretion, elects to make a cash payment for the Warrant Shares, it shall make such payment by not later than fourteen (14) days from giving the Exercise Notice to the Company in an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares specified in such notice.

5.3. | Exercise on Net Issuance. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows: | |||||
X = | Y(A - B) | |||||
A | ||||||
Where: X = | the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder; | |||||
Y = | the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is otherwise entitled upon exercise of this Warrant |
(excluding Warrant Shares already issued under this Warrant); | ||||
A = | the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share at the time of exercise; and | |||
B = | the Exercise Price. | |||
As used herein, the Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share shall mean one of the following, in descending order of priority: | ||||
(i) | If the exercise date is a Liquidity Event in which shareholders of the Company receive payment for the transfer of shares held by them, then the highest price at which any such shares are purchased within the framework of the Liquidity Event. | |||
(ii) | If the exercise date is the date of the closing of a Public Offering, then the public offering price (after deduction of underwriters’ discounts or commissions) in such offering. | |||
(iii) | If the Company’s shares that are of the same class as the Warrant Shares are listed on a securities exchange or are quoted on the quoting system on which shares of the Company are registered, then the 30 days average share price prior to the exercise date. | |||
(iv) | If the Company’s shares are not listed on a securities exchange or are not quoted on the quoting system on which shares of the Company are registered, but are traded in the over-the-counter market, then the mean of the bid and asked prices for the thirty Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the exercise date. | |||
(v) | In any other case, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, provided however that the Holder shall be entitled, at its expense, to demand that the valuation be established by independent auditors who are an internationally recognized auditing firm. | |||
5.4. | Partial Exercise, Etc. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and |
deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. | ||||
5.5. | Issuance of the Warrant Shares. Upon presentation and surrender of the notice of exercise and after the payment of the Exercise Price pursuant to section 5.2, or upon presentation and surrender of the notice of exercise pursuant to section 5.2, as the case may be, the Company shall issue promptly to the Holder the shares to which the Holder is entitled.
| |||
As of and from the close of business on the date of receipt by the Company of the notice of exercise (and the Exercise Price, if applicable), the Holder shall be deemed to be the Holder of the shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the share transfer books of the Company shall then be closed and that certificates representing such shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. The Company shall pay the stamp duty that may be payable in connection with the issuance of the shares and the preparation and delivery of share certificates pursuant to this Section 5 in the name of the Holder. No fractions of shares shall be issued in connection with the exercise of this Warrant and the number of shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.
| ||||
All Warrant Shares, when issued, shall be fully paid and non-assessable.
| ||||
In the event the Warrant is exercised in full, the Company, promptly after exercise, will prepare and file with the United Stated Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S 3 (or such other form appropriate for such purpose), relating to the resale of the Warrant Shares and will use its best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC . In the event of partial exercise, the Holder will be entitled, at such time as the number of Warrant Shares held by it exceeds 50,000 (or less if such exercise is the last exercise to which the Holder is entitled hereunder), to instruct the Company to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S 3 (or such other form appropriate for such purpose), relating to the resale of the such shares and the Company will use its best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible. The Holder undertakes to provide the Company, within reasonable periods from the Company’s written request, with any necessary documents and/or any instruments and/or information required from the Holder in order to register the Warrant Shares with the SEC. | ||||
5.6. | Automatic Exercise. If at the time of expiry of the Warrant Period for any portion of the Warrant, a portion of the Warrant has not been exercised, the Warrant will be deemed to have been exercised in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3 at the date of expiry of the Warrant Period, unless such exercise would not result in the issuance of any Warrant Shares to the Holder. | |||
Notwithstanding the above, the issuance of a certificate representing the Warrant Shares in the name of the Holder shall be conditioned upon the Holder representing to the Company that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 12 of this Warrant are true and correct as of the date of the said exercise, with respect to the Warrant Shares. | ||||
5.7. | Conditional Exercise. Any purchase of Warrant Shares by the Holder may be made conditional upon the consummation and closing of any Exit Transaction or equity raising event of the Company. | |||
Notwithstanding the above, the issuance of a certificate representing the Warrant Shares in the name of the Holder shall be conditioned upon the Holder representing to the Company that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 12 of this Warrant are true and correct as of the date of the said exercise, with respect to the Warrant Shares. | ||||
6. | Reservation of Shares: Preservation of Rights of Holder | |||
The Company hereby agrees that at all times it will maintain and reserve, free from preemptive rights, lien or other third party rights, such number of authorized but unissued Warrant Shares so that this Warrant may be exercised without additional authorization of Warrant Shares after giving effect to all other options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire shares of the Company. The Company further agrees that it will not, by charter amendment or through reorganization, voluntary liquidation, consolidation, merger, dissolution, winding up or sale of assets, or by any other voluntary act, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the covenants, stipulations or conditions to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company. | ||||

9. | Adjustment | |||
The number and kind of securities purchasable initially upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows: | ||||
9.1. | Adjustment for Shares Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding effects a subdivision of the outstanding shares, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the subdivision shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, if the Company at any time or from time to time combines the outstanding shares, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the combination shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 9.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. | |||
9.2. | Issuance of Securities Below the Exercise Price. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue any equity securities, securities convertible into equity or options or rights to purchase equity securities, issued or deemed |
to be issued by the Company at a price per share less than the applicable Exercise Price then in effect (a “Dilutive Issuance”), the Exercise Price shall be reduced to be equal to the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance.
| ||||
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 9.4 in respect of an Authorized Issuance. | ||||
9.3. | Adjustment of Exercise Price. Upon each adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be, in a manner that is the inverse of the manner in which the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted. | |||
10. | Share Swap | |||
The Company undertakes not to enter into any share swap agreement or arrangement (such as a merger, reorganization, or sale of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s shares) (“Share Swap”), unless the other company to such a Share Swap agreement undertakes to allot to the Holder, upon, and subject to, the exercise of this Warrant, such securities as were swapped for the shares of the Company, as though the Holder had held the Warrant Shares on the record date of the Share Swap. Nothing herein shall derogate from the notice requirements of Section 4. | ||||
11. | Notice of Changes | |||
Whenever the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable is adjusted as provided in Sections 9, the Company shall promptly compute such adjustment and deliver to the Holder a certificate, signed by a principal financial officer of the Company, setting forth the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Exercise Price as a result of such adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation thereof and when such adjustment has or will become effective. | ||||
12. | Investment Intent; Limited Transferability. | |
12.1. | If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder furnish to the Company a legal opinion of counsel to the Holder to such effect, the substance of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company and (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company representing that they are acquiring such Warrant Shares for investment purposes and that they are an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. The Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such securities have not been registered under Federal or state securities or blue sky laws. | |
12.2. | The Holder represents that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Warrant or the exercise of the Warrant and the finance operations and business of the Company; and (ii) the opportunity to request such additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense. Nothing contained in this Section 12.2 shall alter, amend or change the Holder’s reliance on the representations, covenants or warranties contained herein. | |
12.3. | The Holder represents that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the Warrants for its own account and not with a present view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act, without prejudice, however, to such Holder’s right, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Warrant and Warrant Shares. | |
12.4. | The Holder represents that it, either by reason of such Holder’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of its professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate, finder or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), |
has such sophistication, knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and the capacity to protect such Holder’s interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. | ||
12.5. | The Holder represents that it has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment for an indefinite period of time and could afford a complete loss of its investment. | |
12.6. | The Holder agrees and acknowledges that the representations made by the Holder in this Section 12 are conditions to the exercise of this Warrant. | |
13. | Assignment | |
The Holder may offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part and on one or more occasions, to any entity in which the Holder has an equity interest of at least 20% or to any other financial institution, bank or venture capital fund, provided that such entity or party does not compete with the Company and further provided that the Company may object to a proposed assignee for good reason. Such assignment shall be in the form of Exhibit B, or similar thereto. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or Warrant Shares, the Holder will give written notice to the Company, describing briefly the manner thereof and the identity of the transferee, together with, if requested by the Company. Upon receiving such written notice and declaration, if so requested, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall deliver to the Holder one or more replacement Warrant certificates or certificates representing the Warrant Shares on the same terms and conditions as this Warrant for delivery to the transferees, which shall become effective, in the case of a transfer of all or a portion of this Warrant, upon the execution of such Warrant certificate by the Company and by the transferee. | ||
14. | Alternative Payment | |
Upon or immediately prior to an Exit Transaction, the Holder may elect to waive all or any portion of the rights it may then have under this Warrant in consideration for the payment by the Company of the Alternative Payment. Such waiver shall be made by written notice to the Company, after the Company shall have provided notice of an Exit Transaction to the Holder in accordance with the procedure specified in Section 4. The Holder shall be entitled, within 21 days of receipt of such notice, to advise the Company in writing of its election to waive its rights as aforesaid. | ||
In the event the Company receives from the Holder a notice of waiver as described above, the Company will pay to the Holder the Alternative Payment within two (2) Business Days thereafter. | ||
The Alternative Payment payable in consideration of the waiver of all the rights of the Holder to purchase Warrant Shares under this Warrant shall be equal to $225,000 (two hundred and twenty five thousand U.S. dollars). If the Holder waives its rights to purchase only a portion of the Warrant Shares, or, in the event the Warrant was partially exercised prior thereto, the Alternative Payment payable by the Company in connection with such waiver, shall be proportionally reduced. | |||
Any waiver of the Holder’s rights under this Warrant in consideration of the Alternative Payment shall be conditional upon the consummation and closing of the relevant Exit Transaction as specified in the waiver notice. | |||
Payment of the Alternative Payment according to this Section 14 shall be prior to any distribution preferences set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation or any other profit sharing or preferred liquidation preference payable to any other security holder of the Company. The Company shall attain any necessary consents and waivers to guarantee such commitment. | |||
15. | Rights of the Holder | ||
The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company. | |||
