2. Exercise of Warrants.

2.2. Cashless Exercise. The Holder shall have the option, subject to the Company’s option under Section 2.4 (the “Cashless Exercise Option”) to exercise this Warrant, in whole but not in part, by the surrender of this Warrant Certificate (and without payment in cash of the Exercise Price) in exchange for a number of whole shares of the Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of the Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable as of the business day on which the Warrant Notice is received by the Company (the “Cashless Exercise Date”), multiplied by (b) the Cashless Exercise Ratio (the “Cashless Exercise”). The “Cashless Exercise Ratio” shall be equal to (i) the Final Price on the Cashless Exercise Date less then Exercise Price divided by (ii) by the Final Price on the Cashless Exercise Date. The “Final Price” means, on any day, the last reported sale price per share of the Common Stock for that day on OTC Bulletin Board (or such other exchange, market or quotation system on which the Common Stock is then traded).

2.3. Mandatory Exercise. If for any period of ten (10) consecutive trading days during the Mandatory Exercise Period (the “Subject Trading Period”), the closing price for the Common Stock exceeds $0.90, the Company shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require the Holder to exercise the Warrant (the “Mandatory Exercise”) in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 2.1 or 2.2, by providing a written request for such Mandatory Exercise within ten (10) day s of the end of the Subject Trading Period.
2.4. Offset of Exercise Price against Note. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to offset the aggregate Exercise Price for any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant against the outstanding principal amount owing under the Note as of the Exercise Date.

Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.2 above, each Warrant Certificate shall be deem ed to have been exercised and such share certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and such Holder or other Person or Persons designated in such Warrant Notice shall be deemed for all purposes to have become a holder of record of the shares of Common Stock, as of the date that such Warrant Notice and payment for the shares purchased thereby shall have been received by the Company (the “Exercise Date”).
2.6. Surrender of Warrant. The Holder shall surrender the Warrant Certificate when it delivers the Warrant Notice, and in the event of a partial exercise of any Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder, at the time the Company delivers the share certificate or certificates issued pursuant to such Warrant Notice, a new Warrant Certificate for the unexercised portion.
3. Fractions, Expenses. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares upon an exercise of any Warrant.

The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and owner charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of certificates for the shares of Common Stock and any new Wa rrant Certificates, except that if the certificates for the shares of Common Stock or the new Warrant Certificates are to be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes payable as a result of such transfer shall be paid by the Holder at the time of its delivery of the Warrant Notice or promptly upon receipt of a written request by the Company for such payment.
4. Adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and/or the Exercise Price at which such Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. For purposes of clarification, the parties acknowledge and agree that the adjustments described in this Section 4 are not intended to, and shall not, trigger any duplicative adjustments to the number of shares of Common Stock and the Exercise Price that may occur pursuant to any other document or instrument of the Company.
4.1. Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Company shall (a) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, an instrument convertible into, or other distribution of, additional Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such case, (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (ii) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price (immediately prior to the adjustment) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
4.2. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify or recapitalize its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or disposition of assets , shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or any cash, shares or stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock, then each Warrant holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of such Warrant, the number of shares of capital stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization, rec lassification, consolidation, merger or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume in writing the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of such Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers or disposition of assets.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable, or whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall forthwith prepare a certificate to be executed by the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant is exercisable and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to Section 4.2) describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock or Other Property for which such Warrant is exercisable, and any change in the Exercise Price, after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to each Warrant holder in accordance with Section 11.1.

6. No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Warrants, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Warrant holders against impairment. Upon the request of a Warrant holder, the Company will at any time during the period a Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably satisfactory to such holder, the continuing validity of the Warrant and the obligations of the Company thereunder.
7. Transfer of Warrant. The transferability of this Warrant is subject to the restrictions set forth in any shareholder agreements that apply, or may in the future apply, to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as of the date of any such proposed transfer; provided that no transfer shall be made that (a) does not comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws, or (b) would require registration or qualification of the Warrant pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any applicable state securities laws. Upon transfer of the Warrant the Holder must deliver to the Company a duly executed Warrant Assignment in the form of Annex I hereto, with funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax imposed in connection with such assignment (if any).
