time to time during the Term.
(b) Method of Exercise . The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant,
in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the
exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal
office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount
of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on
the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of shares of
Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised, payable at such Holder’s election (i) by certified
or official bank check or by wire
transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by
“cashless exercise” in accordance with the provisions

Holder of this Warrant.
(c) Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary and commencing six (6) months following the Original Issue

Stock is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation
as set forth below) and a registration statement under the
Securities Act providing for the resale of all of the Warrant Stock
is not effective at the time of exercise of this Warrant, in lieu
of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may
exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the
number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined
below) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in

the rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for
the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of
such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a
reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) Trading Days after such
exercise or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a
registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the
resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect), issued and
delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC
”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“ DWAC ”)

purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so
purchased as of the date of such exercise and (ii) unless this
Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of
shares of Warrant Stock, if any, with respect to which this Warrant
shall not then have been exercised (less any amount thereof which

Holder hereof at the Issuer’s expense within such
time.
(e) Transferability of Warrant
. Subject to Section 2(g), this
Warrant may be transferred by a Holder without the consent of the
Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph and subject to
the provisions of subsection (g) of this Section 2, this Warrant
may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof
in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed
(by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto)
and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other
governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is
exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants for
the purchase of the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant
Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such
number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall
designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on
transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and
shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of
shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant hereto.
(f) Continuing Rights of Holder
. The Issuer will, at the time of or
at any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request
of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of
its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to
which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that
if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure
shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford
such rights to such Holder.
(g) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance
hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant or the shares of Warrant
Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely
for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any
other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not
offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of
Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to
an effective registration statement, or an exemption from
registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws.
(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below,
this Warrant and all certificates representing shares of Warrant
Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted
with a legend in substantially the following form:
THIS WARRANT
AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE “ SECURITIES ACT ”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR QUANTRX BIOMEDICAL CORPORATION SHALL HAVE
RECEIVED AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH
SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or
certificates representing any of the Warrant Stock, without the
legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any
transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written
notice to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such
transfer and removal as the Issuer may reasonably request. Such
proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a)
either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of
such securities under the Securities Act is not required in
connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration
statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed
disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and has become effective under the Securities
Act, (iii) the Issuer has received other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification
under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not
required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable
assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Issuer has
received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuer, to the effect that registration or qualification under the
securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not
required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii)
compliance with applicable state securities or “blue
sky” laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with
respect thereto. The Issuer will respond to any such notice from a
holder within ten (10) business days. In the case of any proposed
transfer under this Section 2(g), the Issuer will use reasonable
efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or
“blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x)
to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then
qualified, or (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax
or to the general service of process in any state where it is not
then subject. The restrictions on transfer contained in this
Section 2(g) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation
of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other
section of this Warrant.
(h) In no event may the Holder exercise this
Warrant in whole or in part unless the Holder is an
“accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under
the Securities Act.
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of
Shares; Covenants .
(a) Stock Fully Paid . The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants
and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock that may be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon
issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created
by or through the Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees
that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised,
the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the
purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of
this Warrant.
(b) Reservation . If any shares of Common Stock required to be
reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise
provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any
governmental authority under any federal or state law before such
shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best
efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such
shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list
any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it
will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when
necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time
to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise
provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the
applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of
Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as
any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also
so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain
such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this
Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this
Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be
listed on such securities exchange or market by the
Issuer.
(c) Covenants . The Issuer shall not by any action including,
without limitation, amending the Articles of Incorporation or the
by-laws of the Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, 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 the Holder
hereof.
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants
. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any
such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or
security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the
Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and
representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of
Common Stock.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share
Number . The number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and
the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder
notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment
pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Section 5.
(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization,
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale
.
(i) In case the
Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following
(each, a “ Triggering Event ”): (a) consolidate
with or merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the
continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or
merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge
into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving
Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any
Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for
Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or
(c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets
to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or
reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of
each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that,
upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this
Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the
exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such
Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior
to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect
at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such
Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the
Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been
entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such
Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant
immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to
such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the
adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.
(ii)
Notwithstanding anything contained
in this Warrant to the contrary, the Issuer will not effect any
Triggering Event if, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person
(other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any
Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as
provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to,
and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the
obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer
shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such
assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the
Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this
Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such
shares of Securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be
entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered
to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person stating that
this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and
the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the
provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the
Securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to
deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any
rights pursuant hereto.
(b)
Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and
Combinations . If at any
time the Issuer shall:
(i) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in,
or other distribution of, Additional Shares of Common
Stock,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
then (1) 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 (2) the Warrant Price then in
effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in
effect 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.
(c)
Certain Other
Distributions . If at any
time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or
other distribution of:
(i) cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of
earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of
dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of
the Issuer),
(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares
of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any
nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or
Additional Shares of Common Stock), or
(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for
or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock
of any class or any other securities or property of any nature
whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional
Shares of Common Stock),
then (1) the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A)
the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Market Value of
Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the
denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the
amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so
distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Issuer and supported by an opinion
from an investment banking firm of recognized national standing
acceptable to the Holder) of any and all such evidences of
indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or
warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable,
and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal
(A) the Warrant Price then in effect 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. A reclassification of the Common
Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no
par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common
Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a
distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of
such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this
Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common
Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be
deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section
4(b).
(d)
Issuance of Additional Shares of
Common Stock .
(i)
In the event the Issuer shall at
any time following the Original Issue Date issue any Additional
Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing
subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per
share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without
consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall
be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant
Price then in effect by a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the
sum of (x) the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock
immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of
Common Stock plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock
(rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate
consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of
Common Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to
the Warrant Price then in effect, and
(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the
number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately after the
issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(ii)
No adjustment of the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant shall be exercisable
shall be made under paragraph (i) of Section 4(d) upon the issuance
of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant
to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such
adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of
such Common Stock Equivalents or upon the issuance of any warrant
or other rights therefor pursuant to Sections 4(e) or 4(f), or in
connection with any Permitted Issuances.
(e)
Issuance of Warrants or Other
Rights . If at any time
the Issuer shall take a record of the Holders of its Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or
shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger
in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell any
warrants or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, and
the Warrant Consideration (hereafter defined) per share for which
Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such warrant or
option shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately
prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the Warrant Price
then in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale,
shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent)
determined by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction: (1) the
numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (A) the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
issuance or sale of such warrants or options plus (B) the
number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole
share) which the Warrant Consideration multiplied by the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of
all such warrants or options, would purchase at a price per share
equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, and (2) the denominator
of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
that would be outstanding assuming the exercise or conversion of
all such warrants and options. No adjustments of the Warrant Price
then in effect shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common
Stock or of such Common Stock Equivalents upon exercise of such
warrants or other rights or upon the actual issue of such Common
Stock upon such conversion or exchange of such Common Stock
Equivalents if adjustment has been previously made pursuant to this
section. No adjustments of the Warrant Price shall be required
under this Section 4(e) in connection with any Permitted
Issuances.
(f)
Issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents . If at any
time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution
of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a
merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or
sell, any Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not the rights to
exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the
Common Stock Equivalent Consideration (hereafter defined) per share
for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange
shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to
the time of such issue or sale, then the Warrant Price then in
effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, shall
upon each such issuance or sale be adjusted to that price (rounded
to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Warrant Price by
a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of
(A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the issuance or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents
plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to
the nearest whole share) which the Common Stock Equivalent
Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all such Common Stock
Equivalents, would purchase at a price per share equal to the
Warrant Price then in effect, and (2) the denominator of which
shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would
be outstanding assuming the exercise or conversion of all such
Common Stock Equivalents. No further adjustment of the Warrant
Price then in effect shall be made under this Section 4(f) upon the
issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents which are issued pursuant
to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase
rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall previously have been
made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to
Section 4(e). No further adjustments of the Warrant Price then in
effect shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock
upon conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents if
adjustment shall have been previously made pursuant to this
section. No adj
