3.          Exercise of Warrant.
 
 (a)          The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder in whole or in part, but not for less than 1,000 shares at a time (or such lesser number of shares which may then constitute the maximum number purchasable), at any time, or from time to time, by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), upon payment in cash or by check acceptable to the Company.
 
 (b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder may, at the Holder’s election, either (i) exercise this Warrant by paying to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares being purchased or (ii) receive Shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant, or the portion thereof being cancelled, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:
 
X = Y(A-B)
            A
 
Where:       X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder
 
    Y = the total number of Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised
 
    A = the Current Fair Market Value of one Share
 
    B = the Exercise Price then in effect

As used herein, Current Fair Market Value of one Share shall mean, as of any particular date: (a) the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of the Common Stock for such day on all domestic securities exchanges on which the Common Stock may at the time be listed; (b) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on any such exchange on any such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock on all such exchanges at the end of such day; (c) if on any such day the Common Stock is not listed on a domestic securities exchange, the closing sales price of the Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association for such day; or (d) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association at the end of such day; in each case, averaged over twenty (20) consecutive Business Days ending on the business day immediately prior to the day as of which “Current Fair Market Value” is being determined; provided, that if the Common Stock is listed on any domestic securities exchange, the term “Business Day” as used in this sentence means Business Days on which such exchange is open for trading. If at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any domestic securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association, the “Current Fair Market Value” of the Common Stock shall be the fair market value per share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, unless the Holder shall purchase such shares in conjunction with an underwritten public offering of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”), in which case the Current Fair Market Value shall be the price at which the Common Stock is sold to the public in such offering.
 
 (c)         This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such date, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the number of shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised.
 
4.          No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
 
5.           Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

The Holder may change his address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting such change. Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be delivered or given by mail to the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register and at the address shown on the Warrant Register. Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
 
  (b)        Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 7(a) above, issuing the Common Stock or other securities then issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant, or any or all of the foregoing.

  (d)        Compliance with Securities Laws.
 
   (i)     The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the 1933 Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under the 1933 Act and applicable regulations thereunder, such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Holder represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the 1933 Act. The Holder understands that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the securities sold hereunder except as provided in Section 11 hereof.  The Holder understands that no public market now exists for this Warrant or the Shares and that it is uncertain whether a public market will ever exist for this Warrant or the Shares.

Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect for such period of time from and after the effective date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, and the Market Stand-Off shall in all events terminate two (2) years after the effective date of the Company's initial public offering.

(ii)          The Holder shall be subject to the Market Stand-Off only if the officers and directors of the Company are also subject to similar restrictions.
 
(iii)         Any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of any recapitalization or reorganization of the Company distributed with respect to the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof shall be immediately subject to the Market standoff, to the same extent the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are at such time covered by such provisions.
 
(iv)         In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof until the end of the applicable stand-off period.

The Company further covenants that all shares that may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant, upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price, all as set forth herein, will be free from all taxes, liens, and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein). The Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
 
9.           Amendments.
 
  (a)         Any term of the Warrants, including this Warrant, may be amended, and any waiver of any term of the Warrants may be granted, with the written consent of the Company and the holders of Warrants exercisable for at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock for which all Warrants are exercisable. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon the Holder and each future holder of the Warrant and the Company, notwithstanding the fact that the Holder or such future holder did not consent to such amendment or waiver.

  (b)         Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.
 
  (c)         Anti-Dilution. The Exercise Price of the Warrant shall be adjusted on the same basis and under the same conditions as adjustment of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Article IV, Section 5.3 of the Company’s Certificate.
 
  (d)         Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 10, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request, at any time, of any such holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect; and (iii) the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.
 
11.       Registration Rights. Upon exercise of the Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issued as a result of such exercise shall have the same registration rights and be subject to the same restrictions as the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock as set forth in Sections 2 through 9 of the Investor Rights Agreement of the Company dated as of _______2012.

  (b)        Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.
 
  (c)         Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and upon the Holder, the Holder's permitted assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Holder's estate, whether or not any such person shall have become a party to this Warrant and have agreed in writing to join herein and be bound by the terms hereof.
 
  (d)        Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
 
  (e)        Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

  (g)        Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
  (h)        Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
