2. Exercise of Warrant .

(a) Exercise Agreement . While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with subparagraph 2(a) below, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby: (i) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a completed Exercise Agreement in the form attached hereto (“ Exercise Agreement ”) to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices, (ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price, for the number of Warrant Units being purchased, in cash (in the form of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars); and (iii) full compliance with the other applicable provisions of this Warrant.

(b) Exercise Period . This Warrant is exercisable at any time from and after the date hereof (the “Exercise Period”) as follows: 20% of the Warrant Units through the one (1) year period from the date of this Warrant and an additional 20% of the Warrant Units on each one (1) year anniversary of this Warrant.

(c) Issuance of Certificates . Certificates for the Warrant Units, representing the aggregate number of Units specified in said Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) business days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The Unit certificate or certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of said Holder or such other name as shall be designated by said Holder (subject to the transfer restrictions applicable to this Warrant and to Units purchased upon exercise of this Warrant). If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of said Unit certificates(s), deliver to said holder a new Warrant representing the right to purchase the number of Units with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. The Company

3. Units to be Fully Paid; Reservations of Units . The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Units will be duly authorized and validly issued and upon issuance in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, will be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that it will from time to time take all such action as may be required to assure that the par value per Warrant Unit is at all times equal to or less than the Exercise Price then in effect. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Units, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and any other Warrants, such number of its Units as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of all then outstanding Warrants; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Units shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of all then outstanding Warrants, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Units to such number of Units as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite member approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate or Articles of Organization
