Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary and commencing six-months following the Original Issue Date if the Per Share Market Value of one share of Series D Preferred Stock is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), 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 Series D Preferred 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 which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock computed using the following formula:
Where | X = | the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be issued to the Holder. | ||

(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and 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 SECURITIES 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

(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. Such proposed transfer 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 three (3) Trading 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, (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, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Issuer. 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.

3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully Paid.

(b) Reservation. If any shares of Series D Preferred 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 Series D Preferred Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, and 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 (provided that such Warrant Stock has been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then in effect), 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 Series D Preferred 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.

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 Series D Preferred Stock.
(d) Payment of Taxes. The Issuer will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates representing Warrant Stock in a name other than that of the Holder in respect to which such shares are issued.

4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. The Warrant Price and the number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock obtained by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.
(a) Adjustment Due to Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc. If, at any time on or after the Original Issuance Date, the number of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock is increased by a (i) dividend payable in any kind of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, (ii) stock split, (iii) combination, (iv) reclassification or (v) other similar event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock immediately after such event, or if the number of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock is decreased by a reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock immediately after such event. In such event, the Issuer shall notify the Corporation’s Transfer Agent of such change on or before the effective date thereof.
(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time after the Original Issuance Date, there shall be (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock, (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with any other entity (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged), (iii) any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, (iv) any share exchange or tender offer pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock are effectively converted into other securities or property; or (v) any distribution of the Corporation’s assets to holders of the Series D Preferred Stock as a liquidation or partial liquidation dividend or by way of return of capital (each of (i)—(v) above being a “Corporate Change”), and, if such Corporate Change is not a Liquidation Event pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 5, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Corporate Change if it had been, immediately prior to such Corporate Change, the holder of the number of shares of Warrant Stock then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant, and in any such case, appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the economic value of the Warrant Stock is in no way diminished by such Corporate Change and that the provisions hereof including, without limitation, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity
-6-
is not the Issuer, an immediate adjustment of the Warrant Price so that the Warrant Price immediately after the Corporate Change reflects the same relative value as compared to the value of the surviving entity’s common stock that existed immediately prior to such Corporate Change and the value of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to such Corporate Change. If holders of Series D Preferred Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Corporate Change, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Corporate Change.
(c) Other Adjustments. If the Issuer takes any action affecting the Series D Preferred Stock after the date hereof that would be covered by this Section 4, but for the manner in which such action is taken or structured, and such action would in any way diminish the value of the Warrant or Warrant Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in such manner as the Board shall in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances.
(d) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to subsections (a)-(d) above, if at any time the Issuer are grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of common stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the proportionate number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(e) Redemption Right. No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Corporate Change that constitutes a change of control, but not prior to the public announcement of such change of control, the Issuer shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change in Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending ten (10) Trading Days after the consummation of such change of control, the Holder may require the Issuer to redeem all or any portion of this Warrant by delivering written notice thereof (“Change in Control Redemption Notice”) to the Issuer, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the amount the Holder is electing to be redeemed. Any such redemption shall be in cash in the amount equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such consummation, which value shall be determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of such date of request and (B) an expected volatility equal to the 100-day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg for the 100-day period ending on the date of the Change of Control Redemption Notice.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an “adjustment”), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a
-7-
certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a national or regional accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.

APPENDIX B
CASHLESS CONVERSION EXAMPLE
Example: | One year following issue of Warrant, Holder of 10 warrants wishes to exercise all the warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to Section 2 (c). On that date, CompCare’s FMV as determined by its closing share price for its Common Stock was $1.25 per share (in accordance with the definition of Per Share Market Value provided in Section 7). |
Using the following formula:
Where | X = | the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be issued to the Holder. | ||
Y = | the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant, in this example, this will be 10. | |||
A = | the Warrant Price, being $25,000 per Series D share. | |||
B = | the Per Share Market Value of one share of Series D Preferred Stock, in this example using the definition provided in Section 7, being the share price for the Series D stock will be the share price for the Common Stock multiplied by the Conversion Factor. In this example, this will be $1.25 multiplied by 100,000 = $125,000. |
Thus:
Therefore | X = | 8 Series D Shares |
In this example, the Holder can request a cashless exercise of the full 10 warrants and receive 8 Series D Preferred Stock in return. Note that the Warrant will now be canceled in its entirety and be deemed fully exercised. Where the Warrant Share Number was for greater than 10 warrants, a new warrant will be issued where the new Warrant Share Number will be the existing Warrant Share Number prior to the cashless conversion less 10.
