1.1            Manner of Exercise: Payment in Cash . This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other place as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchased upon such exercise. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company.

1.3.            Delivery of Certificates . As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within ten (10) business days thereafter, the Company at its sole expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such person as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

 

(a)           A certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Warrant Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 2 hereof, and

 

(b)           In case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) equal to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.1 above.

 

2.       Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

 

3.       Certain Adjustments .

 

3.1            Changes in Common Stock . If the Company shall (i) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common Stock, the number of shares of Warrant Stock shall be equal to the number of shares which the Holder would have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above if such shares had been issued immediately prior to the happening of such event, such adjustment to become effective concurrently with the effectiveness of such event. The Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such combination of Common Stock shall, upon the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. The Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such subdivision of Common Stock or at the record date of such dividend shall upon the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced.

 

3.2            Reorganizations and Reclassifications . If there shall occur any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value or a subdivision or combination as provided for in Section 3.1), then, as part of any such reorganization or reclassification, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise hereof the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to any such reorganization or reclassification, such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock which were then purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder such that the provisions set forth in this Section 3 (including provisions with respect to adjustment of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as is reasonably practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 shall be applicable after that event in as nearly equivalent a manner as may be practicable.

 

3.4            Certain Anti-Dilution Adjustments . If during the times set forth below while any portion of this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock (or rights, warrants, or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock), other than issuances covered by Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 above, at a price per share (or having an exercise, conversion, or exchange price per share) less than the Exercise Price in effect as of the date of issuance of such shares or of such rights, warrants, or other convertible or exchangeable securities, then, and in each such case, the Exercise Price shall be reduced (i) until the completion by the Company of financings providing cumulative gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000, involving the issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, to a price equal to the issuance, conversion, exchange or exercise price, as applicable, of any such securities so issued and (ii) thereafter to a price determined by dividing (a) an amount equal to the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale multiplied by the then existing Exercise Price and (B) the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon such issue or sale by (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of securities of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (i) of this Section, the dilution protection afforded therein shall continue until the cumulative gross proceeds of such next financing(s) reach at least $10,000,000 and shall extend to the full amount of the gross proceeds from any integrated offering wherein this threshold is achieved.  Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Section, there shall be no reduction to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section with respect to (i) the issuance or sale of options to purchase shares of Common Stock to employees, consultants and directors, (ii) the issuance of securities pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities as of the date of this Warrant, (as adjusted for recapitalizations, stock splits, and the like) which are currently outstanding as of the date of this Warrant or (iii) the issuance of securities as consideration for a bona fide business acquisition of or by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise, which involves a third party which is not affiliated with the Company or its current stockholders or in a strategic alliance, collaboration or similar transaction.
