1. Exercisability. In accordance with federal and state securities laws and regulation, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part, at any time after the date of its issuance by the Company and up to any date which is five (5) years from the date hereof (the “Exercise Period”), or through December 31, 2024, by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company of a notice of election to purchase duly executed and accompanied by payment by check or wire transfer of the Exercise Price for such shares to the Company at the Company’s offices, or exercised in accordance with Section 6 (“Cashless Exercise”) below. Notwithstanding the above, the Investor may not exercise this Warrant if, at the time of such exercise, the amount of common stock issued upon exercise, when added to other shares of Company common stock owned by the Investor or which can be acquired by Investor upon exercise or conversion of any other instrument, would cause the Investor to own more than nine and ninety-nine-tenths percent (9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock at the time of exercise, or if the Company becomes a Reporting Company (as defined as an issuer with a class of securities registered under Section 12 or subject to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Exchange Act”, which is subject to the periodic and current reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act and is thereinafter referred to as a SEC “Reporting Company”), four and ninety-nine-tenths percent (4.99%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Ownership Limitation”).
2. Manner of Exercise. In case of the purchase of less than all the Warrant Securities, at the request of the Investor the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon the surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new warrant of like tenor for the balance of the Warrant Securities. Upon the exercise of this Warrant, the issuance of certificates for securities, properties or rights underlying this Warrant shall be made forthwith without charge to the Investor including, without limitation, any tax that may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax in respect of income or capital gain of the Investor.

The Company shall cause the Warrant Securities to be delivered to the Investor within five (5) business days of any Exercise by the Investor (the “Issuance”), together with a Board of Directors resolution of the Company, and an attorney’s opinion letter, provided at the sole expense of the Company, addressed to the Company’s transfer agent, verifying the validity of the Issuance to the Investor.
If and to the extent this Warrant is exercised, in whole or in part, the Investor shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Securities so purchased, upon presentation and surrender to the Company of the form of election to purchase attached hereto duly executed, and accompanied by payment of the purchase price.
3. Adjustment in Number of Shares.
(a) Adjustment for Reclassifications. In case at any time or from time to time after the issue date the Investors of the Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholder, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefore, other or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of stock split, spin-off or split-off, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (exclusive of any stock dividend of its or any subsidiary’s capital stock), then and in each such case the Investor holding this Warrant, whether or not said Warrant has been exercised as provided in Section 1, shall be entitled to receive the amount of stock and other securities and property which such Investor would hold on the date of such exercise if on the issue date he had been the Investor of record of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company called for on the face of this Warrant and had thereafter, during the period from the issue date, to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other or additional stock and other securities and property receivable by him as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period. In the event of any and all such adjustments, the Exercise Price shall remain perpetually fixed at $0.0216 per share of Common Stock.
(b) Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. After the issue date in case of any reorganization of the Company (or any other company the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of this Warrant), or in case, after such date, the Company (or any such other company) shall consolidate with or merge into another company or convey all or substantially all of its assets to another company, then in each such case at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, the Investor holding this Warrant, whether or not said Warrant has been exercised as provided in Section 1, shall be entitled to receive its pro-rata allocation of any and all consideration received by the Company (in cash or securities) as the result of the reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, in lieu of the stock or other securities or property to which such Investor would be entitled had the Investor exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to any adjustment as provided herein; in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property of any successor of the Company as the result of any reorganization, consolidation or merger, receivable after consummation of any reorganization, consolidation of merger.
4. No Requirement to Exercise. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as requiring the Investor to exercise this Warrant prior to or in connection with the effectiveness of a registration statement.
5. Stockholder Rights. Unless and until this Warrant is exercised, this Warrant shall not entitle the Investor to any voting rights as a stockholder of the Company, or to any other rights whatsoever except the rights herein expressed, and any and all rights to receive dividends, in cash or capital stock of the Company, which shall be payable or accrue in respect of the quantity of Common Stock represented by this Warrant.

6. Cashless Exercise. In lieu of delivering the Exercise Price in Cash, Investor, at his option, may instruct the Company to retain, in payment of the Exercise Price, a number of the shares of Common Stock (the “Payment Shares”) equal to the quotient of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrants then being exercised divided by the Market Price of such Payment Shares as of the date of exercise, and to deduct the number of Payment Shares from the shares of Common Stock to be delivered to such Investor. For purposes of this Warrant, Market Price shall mean the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately before the exercise date.

For purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issued upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Stock issued upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.
7. Exchange. This Warrant is exchangeable upon the surrender hereof by the Investor to the Company for a (a) new warrant of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Securities purchasable hereunder, each of such new warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Securities as shall be designated by the Investor at the time of such surrender, or (b) at any time, in whole or in part, and at the sole option of the Investor holding this Warrant prior to any exercise as provided in Section 1, a quantity of shares of any class of preferred stock of the Company equivalent to the market value of this Warrant in whole or in part, as of the date of said exchange, or (c) at any time, in whole or in part, and at the sole option of the Investor holding this Warrant prior to any exercise as provided in Section 1, a convertible debt instrument equivalent to the market value of this Warrant in whole or in part, as of the date of said exchange which shall mature not earlier than one year from its date of issue, at an interest rate of the prime rate (rounded up to the next full percent) plus four percent (4%).
