As promptly as practicable after the receipt of the Warrant Notice of Exercise, but in any event not more than three (3) business days after the Company’s receipt of the Warrant Notice of Exercise, the Company shall issue the Shares and cause to be mailed for delivery by overnight courier.
c. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1
3. Adjustment to the Shares.
The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
a. Definitions. The capitalized terms in this Section 3 shall have the meaning hereinafter provided.
Adjustment Fraction: The Adjustment Fraction applicable with respect to any Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split shall have (i) a numerator equal to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of such Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split and (ii) a denominator equal to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split.
Reverse Stock Split: Any of the following occurrences shall be deemed to be a "Reverse Stock Split": (i) any amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation which shall have the effect of reducing the number of shares of Common Stock held by every holder of the Common Stock by the same proportion without providing for any distribution of anything of value to such holders in exchange for the shares lost by reason of such occurrence and (ii) any other occurrence which shall be similar in its substantive effect to the occurrence specified in clause (i) of this sentence.
Stock Dividend: Any of the following occurrences shall be deemed to be a "Stock Dividend": (i) any distribution of shares of Common Stock pro rata to the holders of outstanding Common Stock in order to effect a stock dividend or stock split, (ii) any stock split or other subdivision of the Common Stock effected by means of an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or (iii) any other occurrence which (A) shall have the effect of increasing by the same proportion the number of shares of Common Stock held by every holder of Common Stock issued in connection with such occurrence or (B) shall otherwise be similar in substantive effect to any of the occurrences specified in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this sentence.
b. Exercise Price Adjustment. Immediately after the effective time for any Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split, the Exercise Price shall change to the product derived by multiplying (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such effective time by (ii) the Adjustment Fraction applicable with respect to such Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split.
c. Fundamental Change,
(1) Definition. For purposes of this Warrant, a "Fundamental Change" shall be deemed to have occurred if there shall be: (i) any consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, (ii) any merger in which the Company shall not survive, (iii) any merger in which the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such merger shall be exchanged for or converted into any cash, securities or other property shall be issued with respect to the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such merger, (iv) any complete liquidation of the Company or (v) any partial liquidation of the Company for which the approval of the Holder of Common Stock is required or which is involuntary.
(2) Conditional Conversion Election. In connection with any Fundamental Change, the Holder shall have the right at any time before such event shall actually occur to make a conditional election (i) to exercise this Warrant as the Holder shall desire into Common Stock if such event shall actually be consummated and to participate in such event as if the holder had held such Common Stock on the date as of which the Holders of Common Stock entitled to participate in such event shall be selected but (ii) not to exercise this Warrant if such event shall not be consummated. This Warrant converted pursuant to any conditional election made pursuant to rights granted in this subsection 3.c.2 shall be deemed to have been converted on the record date (or if there be no record date, the point in time) used to determine the holders of Common Stock entitled to participate in the Fundamental Change or other event giving rise to such conditional election.
(3) Fundamental Change Adjustment. As a condition to the consummation of any Fundamental Change, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder, if such Holder shall not make a conditional conversion election pursuant to subsection 3.c.2, will immediately after the consummation of such Fundamental Change have the right to exercise this Warrant into such shares of stock, securities or assets which such Holder could have received in such Fundamental Change if such Holder had made a conditional exercise of this Warrant pursuant to subsection 3.c.2. In each such case appropriate provision will be made with respect to such Holder's rights and interests to the end that the provisions of Section 3 shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant to provide such Holder with protections after such Fundamental Change substantially equivalent to the protections provided by this Section III prior to such Fundamental Change.

d. Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company 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 Common Stock, except for the sale of the Convertible Debentures and Warrants (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holder of this Warrant shall 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 number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record shall be taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record shall be taken, the date as of which the record Holders of Common Stock shall be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
e. Distribution Rights. If at any time the Company makes any distribution pro rata to the record Holders of Common Stock in property other than cash ("Distribution Rights"), then the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Distribution Rights, the aggregate Distribution Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record shall be taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Distribution Rights, or, if no such record shall be taken, the date as of which the record Holders of Common Stock shall be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Distribution Rights.
f. No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all of the provisions of this Warrant and in taking all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect Holder's rights hereunder against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting its Common Stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder's rights under this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant is unchanged.
g. Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.
h. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Exercise Price.
i. No Rights of Shareholders. This Warrant does not entitle Holder to any voting rights or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise of Holder’s right to purchase Shares as provided herein.
4. Representations and Covenants of the Company.
a. Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Holder that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase right represented by this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonasessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances.
b. Information Rights. So long as Holder holds this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder (a) promptly after mailing, copies of all notices or other written communications to the shareholders of the Company, (b) within ninety (90) days of their availability, the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and (c) within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter or each fiscal year, the Company's quarterly report to Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.
c. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company has reserved and will keep available, out of the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, the full number of shares sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant.
5. Representations and Covenants of the Holder.
a. Private Issue. Holder understands (i) that the Shares issuable upon exercise of Holder's rights contained in the Warrant are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Act”) or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by the Warrant will be exempt from the registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on Holder's representations set forth in this Article V.
b. Financial Risk. Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment.
c. Risk of No Registration. Holder understands that if the Company does not register with the SEC pursuant to Section 12 of the Act, file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), or if a registration statement covering the securities under the Act is not in effect when it desires to sell the Warrant Shares may be limited and the Holder therefore required to hold such securities for an indefinite period.
d. Accredited Investor. Holder is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in the federal securities laws. The representations and warranties in the Subscription Agreement executed by the Holder in connection with this investment (“Subscription Agreement”) are true and correct.

This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company). The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to an affiliate of Holder.
c. Transfer Procedure. Holder shall have the right without the consent of the Company to transfer or assign in whole or in part this Warrant and the Warrant Shares. Holder agrees that unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Act covering the proposed transfer of all or part of this Warrant, prior to any such proposed transfer the Holder shall give written notice thereof to the Company (a "Transfer Notice"). Each Transfer Notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in reasonable detail and, if the company so requests, shall be accompanied by an opinion of legal counsel, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transfer may be effected without registration under the Act.
