HOLDER:
GC Advisors, LLC
NUMBER
OF
UNITS: 12
THIS
CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, the above referenced holder
("Holder"),
or
its registered assigns, is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from VYCOR
MEDICAL, LLC (the ''Company"),
at
any time commencing on the date of this Warrant (the "Warrant")
and
ending at the close of one (1) year from the date of issuance, 12 units fully
paid and nonassessable membership units of the Company at exercise price of
$4,000 per unit (the "Warrant
Exercise Price"),
subject to the adjustment provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 11 of this
Warrant.
This
Warrant is issued in connection with a transaction between the Holder and the
Company as more fully described in that certain Debenture and Warrant Purchase
Agreement of even date herewith. The units of membership interests which may
be
acquired upon exercise of this Warrant are referred to herein as the
"Warrant
Shares."
As
used herein, the term "Holder"
includes any party who acquires all or a part of this Warrant as a permitted
transferee of Holder; the term "Units"
means
and includes the Company's presently outstanding membership
interests.
This
Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and
conditions:
1.
Exercise;
Transferability; Vesting.
(a)
The
rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in
whole or in part by written notice of exercise (in the form attached hereto)
delivered to the Company at the principal office of the Company at any time
after the original issue date of this Warrant and prior to the expiration of
this Warrant and accompanied or preceded by the surrender of this Warrant along
with payment of the Warrant Exercise Price for such shares (i) in cash, by
check
or by wire transfer of federal funds, (ii) only to the extent permitted by
the
Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, on a cashless basis in exchange
for other securities of the Company, or (iii)
by
a
combination of the methods specified in clauses (a) and (b). Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, the Company, in its sole discretion, may extend and maintain, or
arrange for the extension and maintenance of credit to the Holder to finance
payment of the purchase price on such terms as may be approved by the Board
of
Directors of the Company in accordance with applicable law.

(b)
This
Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated or divided except
as provided in Section 9 hereof.
2. Exchange
and Replacement. Subject
to Sections 1 and 9 hereof, this Warrant is exchangeable upon the surrender
hereof by the Holder to the Company at its office for new Warrants of like
tenor
and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent
the
right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares (not to exceed the aggregate
total number purchasable hereunder) as shall be designated by the Holder at
the
time of such surrender. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this
Warrant, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security
reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of this
Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like
tenor, in lieu of this Warrant; provided, however, that if Holder shall be
such
Holder, an agreement of indemnity by such Holder in customary form shall be
sufficient for all purposes of this Section 2. This Warrant shall be promptly
canceled by the Company upon the surrender hereof in connection with any
exchange or replacement. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes (other than
stock transfer taxes), and other charges payable in connection with the
preparation, execution, and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Section
2.
3. Issuance
of the Warrant Shares.
(a) The
Company agrees that the Warrant Shares shall be and will be deemed to be issued
to the Holder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant
shall have been surrendered and the payment made for such Warrant Shares as
provided herein. Subject to the provisions of the next section, certificates
for
the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a
reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been
so
exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing
the
right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which
this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to
the
Holder within such time.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, the Company shall not be required to deliver any
certificate for Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant except in
accordance with exemptions from the applicable securities registration
requirements or registrations under applicable securities laws. Nothing herein,
however, shall obligate the Company to effect registrations under federal or
state securities laws. If registrations are not in effect and if exemptions
are
not available when the Holder seeks to exercise the Warrant, the Warrant
exercise period will be extended, if need be, to prevent the Warrant from
expiring, until such time as either registrations become effective or exemptions
are available, and the Warrant shall then remain exercisable for a period of
at
least 90 calendar days from the date the Company delivers to the Holder written
notice of the availability of any registrations or exemptions. The Holder agrees
to execute such documents and make such representations, warranties and
agreements as maybe required solely to comply with the exemptions relied upon
by
the Company, or any registrations made, for the issuance of the Warrant
Shares.
Page

4. Covenants
of the Company. The
Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance, be
duly authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and free from all taxes,
liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further
covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented
by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized
for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the purchase rights
evidenced by this Warrant a sufficient number of Units to provide for the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
5. Restrictions
on Issuance and Transfer of Shares. Units
acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant which are not registered
under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), shall be subject to
restrictions on transfer and as required by applicable state and/or federal
securities laws. Any unregistered shares acquired by exercise of this Warrant
shall bear a legend referring to the restrictions and limitations of this
Section. The Company may impose stop transfer instructions to implement such
restrictions and limitations.
6. Anti-dilution
Adjustments. The
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and
the
Warrant Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a)
In
case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Units
in
membership units or other securities, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Units
into
a greater number of units, (iii) combine its outstanding Units into a smaller
number of units or (iv) issue, by reclassification of its Units, membership
units or other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification
in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall
be
entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares, shares of its capital
stock and other securities of the Company which such holder would have owned
or
would have been entitled to receive immediately after the happening of any
of
the events described above, had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior
to
the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. Any
adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 6(a) shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such event.
(b)
In
case the Company shall issue rights, options, warrants or convertible securities
to holders of its Units, without any charge to such holders, containing the
right to subscribe for or purchase Units, the number of Warrant Shares
thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be determined
by
multiplying the number of Warrant shares theretofore purchasable upon exercise
of this Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number Units
outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants
or convertible securities plus the number of additional shares of Units offered
for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number
of Units outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options,
warrants or convertible securities. Such adjustment shall be made whenever
such
rights, options, warrants or convertible securities are issued, and shall become
effective immediately upon issuance of such rights, options, warrants or
convertible securities. In the event of such adjustment, corresponding
adjustments shall be made to the Warrant Exercise Price.
Page
3
(c) In
case
the Company shall distribute to holders of its Units evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions out of current
earnings made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practices), then in each case the number of Warrant shares thereafter
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be determined by multiplying
the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then Market Price
(as
defined below) on the date of such distribution, and of which the denominator
shall be such Market Price on such date minus the then fair value (determined
as
provided in subsection 6(e) below) of the portion of the assets or evidences
of
indebtedness so distributed applicable to one Unit. Such adjustment shall be
made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the
date of distribution. In the event of any such adjustment, the number of shares
of Units subject to the Warrant shall also be adjusted and shall be that number
determined by multiplying the number of Units issuable upon exercise before
the
adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Exercise
Price in effect immediately before the adjustment and the denominator of which
shall be the Warrant Exercise Price as so adjusted.
(d) Whenever
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
is
adjusted as provided in this Section 6, the Warrant Exercise Price payable
upon
exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant Exercise
Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of
which
shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which
shall
be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately thereafter.
(e) For
the
purpose of this Section 6, the term "Units"
shall
mean (i) the units of membership interests of the Company at the date of this
Agreement or (ii) any other class of units or stock resulting from successive
changes or reclassifications of such Units consisting solely of changes in
par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value.
In
the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 6, a Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any securities
of
the Company other than Units, (i) if the Warrantholder's right to purchase
is on
any other basis than that available to all holders of the Company's Units,
the
Company shall obtain an opinion of a reputable investment banking firm valuing
such other securities and (ii) thereafter the number of such other securities
so
purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant and the Warrant Exercise Price of such
securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and
on
terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to
the
Units contained in this Section 6.
(f) Upon
the
expiration of any rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges, if such
shall not have been exercised, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of a Warrant and the Warrant Exercise Price, to the extent a Warrant
has not then been exercised, shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and
shall thereafter be such number and such price as they would have been had
they
been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required,
as
the case may be) on the basis of (A) the fact that the only shares of Units
issued in respect of such rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges
were the shares of Units, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise
of
such rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges, and (B) the fact that
such shares of Units, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually
received by the Company upon such exercise plus the consideration, if any,
actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all such
rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges whether or not exercised;
provided, however, that no such readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing
the numbers of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant or
increasing the Warrant Exercise Price by an amount in excess of the amount
of
the adjustment made in respect of the issuance, sale or grant of such rights,
options, warrants or conversion privileges.
Page

(g)
Upon
any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
subject to this Warrant, then and in each such case, the Company shall give
written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to
the
Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the
Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or
decrease, if any, in the number of Units purchasable at such price upon the
exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
7.
Merger, Reorganization or Consolidation. In any case in which a transaction
would result in a complete liquidation of the Company or a merger,
reorganization, or consolidation of the Company with any other unrelated
corporation or other entity in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation or the Company becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of another
unrelated corporation or other entity (all such transactions being referred
to
herein as a "Reorganization"), the surviving corporation or other entity shall
be required to assume the Warrant or to issue substitute warrants in place
thereof which substitute warrants shall provide for terms at least as favorable
to the Warrantholders as contained in this Warrant and shall provide the
Warrantholder the right to acquire the kind and amount of shares and other
securities and property which the Warrantholder would have owned or been
entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised immediately prior to such
Reorganization.
8. No
Voting Rights. This
Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights
or
other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
9. Notice
of Transfer of Warrant or Resale of the Warrant Shares.
(a)
The
Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees to give written notice to the Company
before transferring this Warrant or transferring any Warrant Shares of such
Holder's intention to do so, describing briefly the manner of any proposed
transfer. Promptly upon receiving such written notice, the Company shall present
copies thereof to the Company's counsel and to counsel to the original purchaser
of this Warrant. If in the opinion of each such counsel the proposed transfer
may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or
state securities laws), the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify
the Holder of such opinion, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to transfer
this Warrant or to dispose of Warrant Shares received upon the previous exercise
of this Warrant, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by
the
Holder to the Company; provided that an appropriate legend may be endorsed
on
the Warrant or the certificates for such Warrant Shares respecting restrictions
upon transfer thereof necessary or advisable in the opinion of counsel and
satisfactory to the Company to prevent further transfers which would be in
violation of Section 5 of the Act, and applicable state securities laws; and
provided further that the prospective transferee or purchaser shall execute
such
documents and make such representations, warranties, and agreements as may
be
reasonably required solely to comply with the exemptions relied upon by the
Company or the Holder for the transfer or disposition of the Warrant or Warrant
Shares.
Page

(b)
If in
the opinion of counsel referred to in this Section 9, the proposed transfer
or
disposition of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares described in the written
notice given pursuant to this Section 9 may not be effected without registration
or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, the Company shall
promptly give written notice thereof to the Holder.
10.
Capitalization
Adjustments.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, in the event that the
Company sell or issue Units or rights, options, warrants or convertible
securities containing the right to subscribe for, purchase or exchange into
Units at a price per share of less than $4,000 (or securities convertible into
shares of its Units) (the "Reduced
Issue Price")
at any time prior to the closing and receipt by the Company of additional
funding (following the Closing) in the net amount of at least $250,000, then
the
Warrant Exercise Price shall automatically be reduced to equal the Reduced
Issue
Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no reduction of the Warrant Exercise
Price
shall occur as a result of (A) any issuance or exercise of options, warrants
or
restricted shares to employees, directors, consultants or advisors to the
Company (or any subsidiary) pursuant to the terms of any compensation plan
or
arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (B) securities
issued in connection with any bona fide acquisition by the Company (including
any assumption of options or other convertible securities resulting from any
acquisition of another company by merger or exchange of securities), (C) any
issuance or exercise of securities, options or warrants issued to suppliers,
distributors or retailers as compensation, payment for goods or services or
in
order to induce such persons or entities to do or continue to do business with
the Company, or (D) securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of options
or warrants of the Company outstanding immediately following completion of
the
Merger (as defined in the Conversion Agreement). Any
adjustment contemplated by this Section 11 may be waived by consent of Holders
owning of majority of the aggregate outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to
the
Conversion Agreement.
(b) The
Warrant Exercise Price has been established based on the assumptions (the
"Capitalization
Assumptions")
that,
immediately following the issuance and funding of the Debenture, as described
in
the Debenture and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the issued and outstanding Units
of the Company (including shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the
Debenture) consisted entirely of 1107
Units. Holder
understands and agrees that if, subsequent to the issue date of this Warrant,
the Company reasonably determines in good faith that the Capitalization
Assumptions were not true and correct, the Warrant Exercise Price and number
of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be adjusted so that
the total number of Warrant Shares issued to and the total Warrant Exercise
Price paid by all Holders, if all Warrants were exercised in full, would not
exceed the number of Warrant Shares or be less than the total Warrant Exercise
Price that would have been issued and payable had the Capitalization Assumptions
been true and correct.

TO PURCHASE MEMBERSHIP UNITS
OF
VYCOR

Dated
as of January 9, 2007
HOLDER:
GC Advisors, LLC
NUMBER
OF
UNITS: 12
THIS
CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, the above referenced holder
("Holder"),
or
its registered assigns, is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from VYCOR
MEDICAL, LLC (the "Company"),
at
any time commencing on the date of this Warrant (the "Warrant")
and
ending at the close of one (2) years from the date of issuance,
12 units fully paid and nonassessable membership units of the Company at
exercise price of $6,233
per
unit
(the "Warrant
Exercise Price"),
subject to the adjustment provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 11 of this
Warrant.
This
Warrant is issued in connection with a transaction between the Holder and the
Company as more fully described in that certain Debenture and Warrant Purchase
Agreement of even date herewith. The units of membership intersts which may
be
acquired upon exercise of this Warrant are referred to herein as the
"Warrant
Shares."
As
used herein, the term "Holder"
includes any party who acquires all or a part of this Warrant as a permitted
transferee of Holder; the term "Units"
means
and includes the Company's presently outstanding membership
interests.
This
Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and
conditions:
1.
Exercise;
Transferability; Vesting,
(a)
The
rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in
whole or in part by written notice of exercise (in the form attached hereto)
delivered to the Company at the principal office of the Company at any time
after the original issue date of this Warrant and prior to the expiration of
this Warrant and accompanied or preceded by the surrender of this Warrant along
with payment of the Warrant Exercise Price for such shares (i) in cash, by
check
or by wire transfer of federal funds, (ii) only to the extent permitted by
the
Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, on a cashless basis in exchange
for other securities of the Company, or (iii) by a combination of the methods
specified in clauses (a) and (b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company,
in
its sole discretion, may extend and maintain, or arrange for the extension
and
maintenance of credit to the Holder to finance payment of the purchase price
on
such terms as may be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in
accordance with applicable law.
Page
1
(b)
This
Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated or divided except
as provided in Section 9
hereof.
2. Exchange
and Replacement. Subject
to Sections 1 and 9 hereof, this Warrant is exchangeable upon the surrender
hereof by the Holder to the Company at its office for new Warrants of like
tenor
and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent
the
right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares (not to exceed the aggregate
total number purchasable hereunder) as shall be designated by the Holder at
the
time of such surrender. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this
Warrant, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security
reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of this
Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like
tenor, in lieu of this Warrant; provided, however, that if Holder shall be
such
Holder, an agreement of indemnity by such Holder in customary form shall be
sufficient for all purposes of this Section 2. This Warrant shall be promptly
canceled by the Company upon the surrender hereof in connection with any
exchange or replacement. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes (other than
stock transfer taxes), and other charges payable in connection with the
preparation, execution, and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Section
2.
3. Issuance
of the Warrant Shares.
(a) The
Company agrees that the Warrant Shares shall be and will be deemed to be issued
to the Holder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant
shall have been surrendered and the payment made for such Warrant Shares as
provided herein. Subject to the provisions of the next section, certificates
for
the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a
reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been
so
exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing
the
right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which
this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to
the
Holder within such time.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, the Company shall not be required to deliver any
certificate for Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant except in
accordance with exemptions from the applicable securities registration
requirements or registrations under applicable securities laws. Nothing herein,
however, shall obligate the Company to effect registrations under federal or
state securities laws. If registrations are not in effect and if exemptions
are
not available when the Holder seeks to exercise the Warrant, the Warrant
exercise period will be extended, if need be, to prevent the Warrant from
expiring, until such time as either registrations become effective or exemptions
are available, and the Warrant shall then remain exercisable for a period of
at
least 90 calendar days from the date the Company delivers to the Holder written
notice of the availability of any registrations or exemptions. The Holder agrees
to execute such documents and make such representations, warranties and
agreements as maybe required solely to comply with the exemptions relied upon
by
the Company, or any registrations made, for the issuance of the Warrant
Shares.

4. Covenants
of the Company. The
Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance, be
duly authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and tree from all taxes,
liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further
covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented
by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized
for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the purchase rights
evidenced by this Warrant a sufficient number of Units to provide for the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
5. Restrictions
on Issuance and Transfer of Shares. Units
acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant which are not registered
under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), shall be subject to
restrictions on transfer and as required by applicable state and/or federal
securities laws. Any unregistered shares acquired by exercise of this Warrant
shall bear a legend referring to the restrictions and limitations of this
Section. The Company may impose stop transfer instructions to implement such
restrictions and limitations.
6. Anti-dilution
Adjustments. The
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and
the
Warrant Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a)
In
case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Units
in
membership units or other securities, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Units
into
a greater number of units, (iii) combine its outstanding Units into a smaller
number of units or (iv) issue, by reclassification of its Units, membership
units or other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification
in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall
be
entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares, shares of its capital
stock and other securities of the Company which such holder would have owned
or
would have been entitled to receive immediately after the happening of any
of
the events described above, had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior
to
the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. Any
adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 6(a) shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such event.
(b)
In
case the Company shall issue rights, options, warrants or convertible securities
to holders of its Units, without any charge to such holders, containing the
right to subscribe for or purchase Units, the number of Warrant Shares
thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be determined
by
multiplying the number of Warrant shares theretofore purchasable upon exercise
of this Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number Units
outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants
or convertible securities plus the number of additional shares of Units offered
for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number
of Units outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options,
warrants or convertible securities. Such adjustment shall be made whenever
such
rights, options, warrants or convertible securities are issued, and shall become
effective immediately upon issuance of such rights, options, warrants or
convertible securities. In the event of such adjustment, corresponding
adjustments shall be made to the Warrant Exercise Price.
Page

(c) In
case
the Company shall distribute to holders of its Units evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions out of current
earnings made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practices), then in each case the number of Warrant shares thereafter
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be determined by multiplying
the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then Market Price
(as
defined below) on the date of such distribution, and of which the denominator
shall be such Market Price on such date minus the then fair value (determined
as
provided in subsection 6(e) below) of the portion of the assets or evidences
of
indebtedness so distributed applicable to one Unit. Such adjustment shall be
made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the
date of distribution. In the event of any such adjustment, the number of shares
of Units subject to the Warrant shall also be adjusted and shall be that number
determined by multiplying the number of Units issuable upon exercise before
the
adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Exercise
Price in effect immediately before the adjustment and the denominator of which
shall be the Warrant Exercise Price as so adjusted.
(d) Whenever
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
is
adjusted as provided in this Section 6, the Warrant Exercise Price payable
upon
exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant Exercise
Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of
which
shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which
shall
be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately thereafter.
(e) For
the
purpose of this Section 6, the term "Units"
shall
mean (i) the units of membership interests of the Company at the date of this
Agreement or (ii) any other class of units or stock resulting from successive
changes or reclassifications of such Units consisting solely of changes in
par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value.
In
the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 6, a Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any securities
of
the Company other than Units, (i) if the Warrantholder's right to purchase
is on
any other basis than that available to all holders of the Company's Units,
the
Company shall obtain an opinion of a reputable investment banking firm valuing
such other securities and (ii) thereafter the number of such other securities
so
purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant and the Warrant Exercise Price of such
securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and
on
terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to
the
Units contained in this Section 6.
(f) Upon
the
expiration of any rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges, if such
shall not have been exercised, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of a Warrant and the Warrant Exercise Price, to the extent a Warrant
has not then been exercised, shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and
shall thereafter be such number and such price as they would have been had
they
been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required,
as
the case may be) on the basis of (A) the fact that the only shares of Units
issued in respect of such rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges
were the shares of Units, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise
of
such rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges, and (B) the fact that
such shares of Units, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually
received by the Company upon such exercise plus the consideration, if any,
actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all such
rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges whether or not exercised;
provided, however, that no such readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing
the numbers of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant or
increasing the Warrant Exercise Price by an amount in excess of the amount
of
the adjustment made in respect of the issuance, sale or grant of such rights,
options, warrants or conversion privileges.
Page

(g)
Upon
any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
subject to this Warrant, then and in each such case, the Company shall give
written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to
the
Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the
Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or
decrease, if any, in the number of Units purchasable at such price upon the
exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
7. Merger,
Reorganization or Consolidation. In
any
case in which a transaction would result in a complete liquidation of the
Company or a merger, reorganization, or consolidation of the Company with any
other unrelated corporation or other entity in which the Company is not the
surviving corporation or the Company becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of
another unrelated corporation or other entity (all such transactions being
referred to herein as a "Reorganization"), the surviving corporation or other
entity shall be required to assume the Warrant or to issue substitute warrants
in place thereof which substitute warrants shall provide for terms at least
as
favorable to the Warrantholders as contained in this Warrant and shall provide
the Warrantholder the right to acquire the kind and amount of shares and other
securities and property which the Warrantholder would have owned or been
entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised immediately prior to such
Reorganization.
8. No
Voting Rights. This
Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as
a
stockholder of the Company.
9. Notice
of Transfer of Warrant or Resale of the Warrant Shares.
(a)
The
Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees to give written notice to the Company
before transferring this Warrant or transferring any Warrant Shares of such
Holder's intention to do so, describing briefly the manner of any proposed
transfer. Promptly upon receiving such written notice, the Company shall present
copies thereof to the Company's counsel and to counsel to the original purchaser
of this Warrant. If in the opinion of each such counsel the proposed transfer
may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or
state securities laws), the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify
the Holder of such opinion, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to transfer
this Warrant or to dispose of Warrant Shares received upon the previous exercise
of this Warrant, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by
the
Holder to the Company; provided that an appropriate legend may be endorsed
on
the Warrant or the certificates for such Warrant Shares respecting restrictions
upon transfer thereof necessary or advisable in the opinion of counsel and
satisfactory to the Company to prevent further transfers which would be in
violation of Section 5 of the Act, and applicable state securities laws; and
provided further that the prospective transferee or purchaser shall execute
such
documents and make such representations, warranties, and agreements as may
be
reasonably required solely to comply with the exemptions relied upon by the
Company or the Holder for the transfer or disposition of the Warrant or Warrant
Shares.
Page
5
(b)
If in
the opinion of counsel referred to in this Section 9, the proposed transfer
or
disposition of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares described in the written
notice given pursuant to this Section 9 may not be effected without registration
or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, the Company shall
promptly give written notice thereof to the Holder.
10.
Capitalization
Adjustments.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, in the event that the
Company sell or issue Units or rights, options, warrants or convertible
securities containing the right to subscribe for, purchase or exchange into
Units at a price per share of less than $4,000 (or securities convertible into
shares of its Units) (the "Reduced
Issue Price")
at any
time prior to the closing and receipt by the Company of additional funding
(following the Closing) in the net amount of at least $250,000, then the Warrant
Exercise Price shall automatically be reduced to equal the Reduced Issue Price.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no reduction of the Warrant Exercise Price shall
occur as a result of (A) any issuance or exercise of options, warrants or
restricted shares to employees, directors, consultants or advisors to the
Company (or any subsidiary) pursuant to the terms of any compensation plan
or
arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (B) securities
issued in connection with any bona fide acquisition by the Company (including
any assumption of options or other convertible securities resulting from any
acquisition of another company by merger or exchange of securities), (C) any
issuance or exercise of securities, options or warrants issued to suppliers,
distributors or retailers as compensation, payment for goods or services or
in
order to induce such persons or entities to do or continue to do business with
the Company, or (D) securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of options
or warrants of the Company outstanding immediately following completion of
the
Merger (as defined in the Conversion Agreement). Any
adjustment contemplated by this
Section
11 may be
waived
by
consent
of
Holders
owning of majority of the
aggregate
outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to the Conversion
Agreement.
(b) The
Warrant Exercise Price has been established based on the assumptions (the
"Capitalization
Assumptions"')
that,
immediately following the issuance and funding of the Debenture, as described
in
the Debenture and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the issued and outstanding Units
of the Company (including shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the
Debenture) consisted entirely of 1107
Units. Holder
understands and agrees that if, subsequent to the issue date of this Warrant,
the Company reasonably determines in good faith that the Capitalization
Assumptions were not true and correct, the Warrant Exercise Price and number
of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be adjusted so that
the total number of Warrant Shares issued to and the total Warrant Exercise
Price paid by all Holders, if all Warrants were exercised in full, would not
exceed the number of Warrant Shares or be less than the total Warrant Exercise
Price that would have been issued and payable had the Capitalization Assumptions
been true and correct.

THIS
WARRANT AND THE UNITS OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS PURCHASABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH WARRANTS AND SHARES
MAY
NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, TRANSFERRED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF

WARRANT
TO PURCHASE MEMBERSHIP UNITS
OF
VYCOR
MEDICAL, LLC
Dated
as
of January 9, 2007
HOLDER:
GC Advisors, LLC
NUMBER
OF
UNITS: 12
THIS
CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, the above referenced holder
("Holder"), or its registered assigns, is entitled to subscribe for and
purchase from VYCOR MEDICAL, LLC (the "Company"), at any time commencing
on the date of this Warrant (the "Warrant") and ending at the close of
one (3) years from the date of issuance, 12 units fully paid
and nonassessable membership units of the Company at exercise price of
$8,810 per unit (the "Warrant Exercise Price"), subject
to the adjustment provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 11 of this
Warrant.
This
Warrant is issued in connection with a transaction between the Holder and the
Company as more fully described in that certain Debenture and Warrant Purchase
Agreement of even date herewith. The units of membership interests which may
be
acquired upon exercise of this Warrant are referred to herein as the "Warrant
Shares." As used herein, the term "Holder" includes any party who
acquires all or a part of this Warrant as a permitted transferee of Holder;
the
term "Units" means and includes the Company's presently outstanding
membership interests.
This
Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and
conditions:
1.
Exercise; Transferability; Vesting.
(a)
The
rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in
whole or in part by written notice of exercise (in the form attached hereto)
delivered to the Company at the principal office of the Company at any time
after the original issue date of this Warrant and prior to the expiration of
this Warrant and accompanied or preceded by the surrender of this Warrant along
with payment of the Warrant Exercise Price for such shares (i) in cash, by
check
or by wire transfer of federal funds, (ii) only to the extent permitted by
the
Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, on a cashless basis hi exchange
for other securities of the Company, or (iii) by a combination of the methods
specified in clauses (a) and (b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company,
in
its sole discretion, may extend and maintain, or arrange for the extension
and
maintenance of credit to the Holder to finance payment of the purchase price
on
such terms as may be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in
accordance with applicable law.
Page
1
(b)
This
Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated or divided except
as provided in Section 9 hereof.
2. Exchange
and Replacement. Subject to Sections 1 and 9 hereof, this Warrant is
exchangeable upon the surrender hereof by the Holder to the Company at its
office for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate
the
right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, each
of
such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant
Shares (not to exceed the aggregate total number purchasable hereunder) as
shall
be designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender. Upon receipt by
the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will
make
and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant; provided,
however, that if Holder shall be such Holder, an agreement of indemnity by
such
Holder in customary form shall be sufficient for all purposes of this Section
2.
This Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company upon the surrender hereof
in connection with any exchange or replacement. The Company shall pay all
expenses, taxes (other than stock transfer taxes), and other charges payable
in
connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of Warrants pursuant
to
this Section 2.
3. Issuance
of the Warrant Shares.
(a) The
Company agrees that the Warrant Shares shall be and will be deemed to be issued
to the Holder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant
shall have been surrendered and the payment made for such Warrant Shares as
provided herein. Subject to the provisions of the next section, certificates
for
the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a
reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been
so
exercised, and. unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing
the
right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which
this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to
the
Holder within such time.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, the Company shall not be required to deliver any
certificate for Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant except in
accordance with exemptions from the applicable securities registration
requirements or registrations under applicable securities laws. Nothing herein,
however, shall obligate the Company to effect registrations under federal or
state securities laws. If registrations are not in effect and if exemptions
are
not available when the Holder seeks to exercise the Warrant, the Warrant
exercise period will be extended, if need be, to prevent the Warrant from
expiring, until such time as either registrations become effective or exemptions
are available, and the Warrant shall then remain exercisable for a period of
at
least 90 calendar days from the date the Company delivers to the Holder written
notice of the availability of any registrations or exemptions. The Holder agrees
to execute such documents and make such representations, warranties and
agreements as maybe required solely to comply with the exemptions relied upon
by
the Company, or any registrations made, for the issuance of the Warrant
Shares.
Page
2
4. Covenants
of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares
will, upon issuance, be duly authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable,
and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which
the
rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all
times have authorized for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of
the
purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant a sufficient number of Units to
provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
5. Restrictions
on Issuance and Transfer of Shares. Units acquired pursuant to the exercise
of this Warrant which are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the "Act"), shall be subject to restrictions on transfer and as
required by applicable state and/or federal securities laws. Any unregistered
shares acquired by exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend referring to
the
restrictions and limitations of this Section. The Company may impose stop
transfer instructions to implement such restrictions and
limitations.
6. Anti-dilution
Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment
as
follows:
(a)
In
case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Units
in
membership units or other securities, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Units
into
a greater number of units, (iii) combine its outstanding Units into a smaller
number of units or (iv) issue, by reclassification of its Units, membership
units or other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification
in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall
be
entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares, shares of its capital
stock and other securities of the Company which such holder would have owned
or
would have been entitled to receive immediately after the happening of any
of
the events described above, had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior
to
the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. Any
adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 6(a) shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such event.
(b)
In
case the Company shall issue rights, options, warrants or convertible securities
to holders of its Units, without any charge to such holders, containing the
right to subscribe for or purchase Units, the number of Warrant Shares
thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be determined
by
multiplying the number of Warrant shares theretofore purchasable upon exercise
of this Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number Units
outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants
or convertible securities plus the number of additional shares of Units offered
for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number
of Units outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options,
warrants or convertible securities. Such adjustment shall be made whenever
such
rights, options, warrants or convertible securities are issued, and shall become
effective immediately upon issuance of such rights, options, warrants or
convertible securities. In the event of such adjustment, corresponding
adjustments shall be made to the Warrant Exercise Price.
Page
3
(c) In
case
the Company shall distribute to holders of its Units evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions out of current
earnings made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practices), then in each case the number of Warrant shares thereafter
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be determined by multiplying
the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then Market Price
(as
defined below) on the date of such distribution, and of which the denominator
shall be such Market Price on such date minus the then fair value (determined
as
provided in subsection 6(e) below) of the portion of the assets or evidences
of
indebtedness so distributed applicable to one Unit. Such adjustment shall be
made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the
date of distribution. In the event of any such adjustment, the number of shares
of Units subject to the Warrant shall also be adjusted and shall be that number
determined by multiplying the number of Units issuable upon exercise before
the
adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Exercise
Price in effect immediately before the adjustment and the denominator of which
shall be the Warrant Exercise Price as so adjusted.
(d) Whenever
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
is
adjusted as provided in this Section 6, the Warrant Exercise Price payable
upon
exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant Exercise
Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of
which
shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which
shall
be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately thereafter.
(e) For
the
purpose of this Section 6, the term "Units"
shall
mean (i) the units of membership interests of the Company at the date of this
Agreement or (ii) any other class of units or stock resulting from successive
changes or reclassifications of such Units consisting solely of changes in
par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value.
In
the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 6, a Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any securities
of
the Company other than Units, (i) if the Warrantholder's right to purchase
is on
any other basis than that available to all holders of the Company's Units,
the
Company shall obtain an opinion of a reputable investment banking firm valuing
such other securities and (ii) thereafter the number of such other securities
so
purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant and the Warrant Exercise Price of such
securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and
on
terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to
the
Units contained in this Section 6.

(f) Upon
the
expiration of any rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges, if such
shall not have been exercised, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of a Warrant and the Warrant Exercise Price, to the extent a Warrant
has not then been exercised, shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and
shall thereafter be such number and such price as they would have been had
they
been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required,
as
the case may be) on the basis of (A) the fact that the only shares of Units
issued in respect of such rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges
were the shares of Units, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise
of
such rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges, and (B) the fact that
such shares of Units, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually
received by the Company upon such exercise plus the consideration, if any,
actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all such
rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges whether or not exercised;
provided, however, that no such readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing
the numbers of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant or
increasing the Warrant Exercise Price by an amount in excess of the amount
of
the adjustment made in respect of the issuance, sale or grant of such rights,
options, warrants or conversion privileges.
(g)
Upon
any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
subject to this Warrant, then and in each such case, the Company shall give
written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to
the
Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the
Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or
decrease, if any, in the number of Units purchasable at such price upon the
exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
7. Merger,
Reorganization or Consolidation. In
any
case in which a transaction would result in a complete liquidation of the
Company or a merger, reorganization, or consolidation of the Company with any
other unrelated corporation or other entity in which the Company is not the
surviving corporation or the Company becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of
another unrelated corporation or other entity (all such transactions being
referred to herein as a "Reorganization"), the surviving corporation or other
entity shall be required to assume the Warrant or to issue substitute warrants
in place thereof which substitute warrants shall provide for terms at least
as
favorable to the Warrantholders as contained in this Warrant and shall provide
the Warrantholder the right to acquire the kind and amount of shares and other
securities and property which the Warrantholder would have owned or been
entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised immediately prior to such
Reorganization.
8. No
Voting Rights. This
Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as
a
stockholder of the Company.
9. Notice
of Transfer of Warrant or Resale of the Warrant Shares.
(a)
The
Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees to give written notice to the Company
before transferring this Warrant or transferring any Warrant Shares of such
Holder's intention to do so, describing briefly the manner of any proposed
transfer. Promptly upon receiving such written notice, the Company shall present
copies thereof to the Company's counsel and to counsel to the original purchaser
of this Warrant. If in the opinion of each such counsel the proposed transfer
may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or
state securities laws), the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify
the Holder of such opinion, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to transfer
this Warrant or to dispose of Warrant Shares received upon the previous exercise
of this Warrant, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by
the
Holder to the Company; provided that an appropriate legend may be endorsed
on
the Warrant or the certificates for such Warrant Shares respecting restrictions
upon transfer thereof necessary or advisable in the opinion of counsel and
satisfactory to the Company to prevent further transfers which would be in
violation of Section 5 of the Act, and applicable state securities laws; and
provided further that the prospective transferee or purchaser shall execute
such
documents and make such representations, warranties, and agreements as may
be
reasonably required solely to
comply
with the exemptions relied upon by the Company or
the
Holder for the transfer or disposition of the Warrant or Warrant
Shares.
Page

(b)
If in
the opinion of counsel referred to in this Section 9, the proposed transfer
or
disposition of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares described in the written
notice given pursuant to this Section 9 may not be effected without registration
or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, the Company shall
promptly give written notice thereof to the Holder.
10.
Capitalization
Adjustments.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, in the
event
that the Company sell or issue Units or rights, options, warrants or convertible
securities
containing the right to subscribe for, purchase or exchange into Units at a
price per share
of
less than $4,000 (or securities convertible into shares of its Units) (the
"Reduced
Issue Price")
at any
time prior to the closing and receipt by the Company of additional funding
(following
the Closing) in the net amount of at least $250,000, then the Warrant Exercise
Price shall
automatically be reduced to equal the Reduced Issue Price. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, no
reduction of the Warrant Exercise Price shall occur as a result of (A) any
issuance or exercise of
options, warrants or restricted shares to employees, directors, consultants
or
advisors tothe
Company
(or any subsidiary) pursuant to the terms of any compensation plan or
arrangement approved
by the Board of Directors of the Company, (B) securities issued in connection
with any bona
fide
acquisition by the Company (including any assumption of options or other
convertible securities
resulting from any acquisition of another company by merger or exchange of
securities),
(C) any issuance or exercise of securities, options or warrants issued to
suppliers, distributors
or retailers as compensation, payment for goods or services xxxx
order
to induce such
persons or
entities
to do or continue to do business with the Company, or (D) securities
issued
upon the exercise or conversion of options or warrants of the Company
outstanding immediately
following completion of the Merger (as defined in the Conversion Agreement).
Any
adjustment contemplated by this Section 11 may be waived by consent of Holders
owning
of majority of the aggregate outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to the
Conversion
Agreement.
(b) The
Warrant Exercise Price has been established based on the assumptions
(the "Capitalization
Assumptions")
that,
immediately following the issuance and funding
of the Debenture, as described in the Debenture and Warrant Purchase Agreement,
the issued
and outstanding Units of the Company (including shares reserved for issuance
upon conversion
of the Debenture) consisted entirely of 1107
Units.Holder
understands and agrees that
if,
subsequent to the issue date of this Warrant, the Company reasonably determines
in good faith that the Capitalization Assumptions were not true and correct,
the
Warrant Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of
this Warrant will be adjusted so that the total number of Warrant Shares issued
to and the total Warrant Exercise Price paid by all Holders, if all Warrants
were exercised in full, would not exceed the number of Warrant Shares or be
less
than the total Warrant Exercise Price that would have been issued and payable
had the Capitalization Assumptions been true and correct.
