d.
Price Adjustment Based on Earnings Per Share. (i) In the event that the Companys Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2009 is less than $0.045 per share on a fully-diluted basis, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced by the percentage shortfall, up to a maximum of 40%. Thus, if Net Income per share for the year ended December 31, 2009 is $0.027 per share on a fully-diluted basis, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by 40%. Such reduction shall be made at the time the Company files its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and shall apply to all Warrant Shares which are outstanding on the date of such filing. For purposes of this Section, Net Income shall be based on net income plus any charges relating to the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
(ii) For purpose of determining Net Income per share on a fully-diluted basis, all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company (i) at a price per share of $0.15 or more, (ii) in connection with the issuance of Option Shares (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) upon the exercise of the Investor Option (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or (iii) upon the exercise by the Holder of this Warrant or any other warrant issued to the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, shall not be deemed to be outstanding. For purpose of determining Net Income per share on a fully-diluted basis, 13,612,120 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued to certain investors pursuant to a purchase agreement effective as of August 3, 2009, as disclosed on the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 4, 2009, as amended on the Companys Current Report on Fo rm 8-K dated August 7, 2009, shall be deemed to be outstanding. The per share amounts set forth in this Section 7(d) shall be adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, split, distribution, reverse split or combination of shares or other recapitalization.
e.
If on or after the Issuance Date, until the date that is twenty four (24) months after the Issuance Date, the Company issues or sells any shares of Common Stock (other than Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately after such issuance or sale the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to such consideration per share. Excluded Securities means (i) securities issued in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (ii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement or issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (iii) securities issued pursuant to the exercise of Warrant Shares, (iv) securities issued in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the primary purpose of raising capital and (v) Common Stock issued or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to service providers or pursuant to the Issuers existing stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans approved by the board of directors of the Company.
8.
Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 8, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction or (ii) round the number of Warrant Shares issuable, up to the next whole number.

9.
Sale or Merger of the Company. Upon a Change in Control, the restriction contained in Section 6 shall immediately be released and the Holder will have the right to exercise this Warrant concurrently with such Change in Control event. For purposes of this Warrant, the term Change in Control shall mean a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another company or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (except pursuant to a migratory merger for purposes of reincorporation in another state) or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another company or entity not controlled by the then existing stockholders of the Company in a transaction or series of transactions.
10.
Notice of Intent to Sell or Merge the Company. The Company will give Warrant Holder ten (10) business days notice before the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the merger or consolidation of the Company in a transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity.
11.
Issuance of Substitute Warrant. In the event of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company or a reclassification of Company shares of stock, which results in an adjustment to the number of shares subject to this Warrant and/or the Exercise Price hereunder, the Company agrees to issue to the Holder a substitute Warrant reflecting the adjusted number of shares and/or Exercise Price upon the surrender of this Warrant to the Company.
