The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided herein. The initial Warrant Price (the “Warrant Price”) per share of Common Stock shall equal $7.00.
For the purpose of this Warrant, the term “Common Stock” shall mean (i) the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company as of the Date of Issuance, or (ii) any other class or classes of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such class of stock, and the term “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are required or authorized to be closed.
Section 1. Term of Warrant, Exercise of Warrant. (a) Subject to the terms of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right, at its option, which may be exercised in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, commencing at the time immediately following the time the Purchase Price has been paid and until the earlier of (x) 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the eighteen-month anniversary of the Date of Issuance and (y) the closing of a Change of Control (as defined below) (the “Warrant Expiration Date”) to purchase from the Company the Warrant Shares. “Change of Control” shall mean the sale, conveyance or disposal of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or business or the Company’s merger with or into or consolidation with any other corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) or any other transaction or series of related transactions in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction or transactions own less than a majority of the voting power of the surviving corporation following the transaction or transactions.
(b) The purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant shall be exercised by the Holder surrendering this Warrant, with the form of subscription at the end hereof duly executed by the Holder, to the Company at its office in New York, New York (or, in the event the Company’s principal office is no longer in New York, New York, its then principal office in the United States (the “Principal Office”)), accompanied by payment, of an amount (the “Exercise Payment”) equal to the Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased pursuant to such exercise, payable as follows: (i) by payment to the Company in cash, by certified check, or by wire transfer of the Exercise Payment, (ii) by surrender to the Company for cancellation of securities of the Company having a Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Payment; or (iii) by a combination of the methods described in clauses (i) and (ii) above. In lieu of exercising the Warrant as set forth in the foregoing sentence, the Holder may elect to perform a net exercise and receive a payment equal to the difference between (i) the Market Price on the date of exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which the payment is then being elected and (ii) the aggregate Warrant Price with respect to such Warrant Shares, payable by the Company to the Holder only in shares of Common Stock valued at the Market Price on the date of exercise. For purposes hereof, the term “Market Price” shall mean, with respect to any day, the average closing price of a share of Common Stock or other security for the five consecutive trading days preceding such day on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or securities are listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the reported high and low prices during such five trading day period on the OTCQB Venture Market, if the shares of Common Stock or securities are not publicly traded, the Market Price for such day shall be the fair market value thereof determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch, but in any event within five Business Days, to or upon the written order of the Holder and, subject to Section 3, in such name or names as the Holder may designate (provided that such names other than the Holder may include only affiliates of the Holder), written confirmation (including via email) from the Company’s transfer agent that it has issued a book entry position for the number of full Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise together with such other property, including cash (if necessary pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof), which may be deliverable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant are purchased, a new Warrant of the same tenor as this Warrant, evidencing the Warrant Shares not purchased will be issued and delivered by the Company at the Company’s expense, to the Holder together with the issue of the written confirmation from the Company’s transfer agent that it has issued a book entry position representing the Warrant Shares then being purchased. The Warrant certificate, when surrendered upon exercise of the Warrant, shall be canceled by the Company.
(d) The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver written confirmation from the Company’s transfer agent that it has issued a book entry position representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or to credit such shares to the Holder’s DTC account (as the case may be) as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 2. Warrant Register, Registration of Transfers.
Section 2.1. Warrant Register. The Company shall keep at its Principal Office, a register (the “Warrant Register”) in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Holder from time to time and all transfers and exchanges of this Warrant.

Section 2.2. Registration of Transfers, Exchanges or Assignment of the Warrant. The Holder shall be entitled to assign its interest in this Warrant in whole or in part to any affiliate of Holder upon surrender thereof accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in the form of assignment at the end hereof duly executed by the Holder. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, this Warrant may not be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may also be exchanged or combined with warrants of like tenor at the option of the Holder for another Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Warrant Shares upon presentation thereof to the Company at its Principal Office together with a written notice signed by the Holder specifying the denominations in which the new Warrant is or the new Warrants are to be issued.
Upon surrender for transfer or exchange of this Warrant to the Company at its Principal Office for transfer or exchange, in accordance with this Section 2, the Company shall, without charge (subject to Section 3), execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and of a like aggregate amount of Warrant Shares in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and, if the Holder’s entire interest is not being assigned, in the name of the Holder with respect to that portion not transferred, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant and Warrant Shares in the absence of (i) registration or qualification of this Warrant and such Warrant Shares under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required.

Section 4. Certain Covenants.
Section 4.1. Reservation of Warrant Shares. There have been reserved and the Company shall at all times keep reserved, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, free from any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other restrictions (other than pursuant to the Act and applicable state securities laws) a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant.
Section 4.2. No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending its Certificate of Incorporation, any 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 of this Warrant, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action, as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant at the then Warrant Price therefor.
Section 4.3. Notice of Certain Corporate Action. In case the Company shall propose (a) to offer to the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, or (b) to effect any reclassification of its Common Stock (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision, or combination, of outstanding shares of Common Stock), or (c) to effect any capital reorganization, or (d) to effect any Change of Control, or (e) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (f) to offer to the holders of its Common Stock the right to have their shares of Common Stock repurchased or redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Company, or (g) to take any other action which would require the adjustment of the Warrant Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, then in each such case (but without limiting the provisions of Section 5), the Company shall give to the Holder, a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the date on which a record is to be taken for purposes of such dividend, distribution or offer of rights, or the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, Change of Control, liquidation, dissolution, or winding up is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed and shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock. Such notice shall be so given at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of participating in or voting on such action, or at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier. Such notice shall specify, in the case of any subscription or repurchase rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, or the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon any reorganization, reclassification, Change of Control or other action, as the case may be. Such notice shall also state whether the action in question or the record date is subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Act or to a favorable vote of security holders, if either is required, and the adjustment in Warrant Price and/or number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, Change of Control or other action, to the extent then determinable. No such notice shall be given if the Company reasonably determines that the giving of such notice would require disclosure of material information which the Company has a bona fide purpose for preserving as confidential or the disclosure of which would not be in the best interests of the Company.

Section 4.4. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant is given to the Holder in reliance upon the Holder’s representation to the Company, which by its acceptance of this Warrant the Holder hereby confirms, that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) being acquired by the Holder are being acquired for investment for the Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Warrant, the Holder further represents that the Holder does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. The Holder represents that it has full power and authority to enter into this Warrant. The Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring any of the Securities.
Section 4.5. Disclosure of Information. The Holder has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities with the Company’s management and has had an opportunity to review the Company’s facilities, and has had an opportunity to read all of the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Section 4.6. Restricted Securities. The Holder understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Holder’s representations as expressed herein. The Holder understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Holder must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Holder further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Holder’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
Section 4.7. Accredited Investor. The Holder is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

Section 5. Adjustment of Warrant Price.
Section 5.1. Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case the Company shall at any time (i) issue a dividend payable in Common Stock or any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then (x) in the case of a dividend or subdivision, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or subdivision shall be proportionately decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment shall be proportionately increased, and (y) in the case of a combination, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment shall be proportionately decreased.
Section 5.2. Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, other than a Change of Control, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, exercise, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, that number of shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of such Holder to the end that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume, by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the Holder at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive.
Section 5.3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or scrip in lieu thereof. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 5.3, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall in lieu thereof pay to the person entitled thereto an amount in cash equal to the current value of such fraction, calculated to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100) of a share, to be computed on the basis of the Market Price for a share of Common Stock as of the date of exercise.

Section 5.5. Certain Events. If any event occurs as to which, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company the other provisions of this Section 5 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the exercise rights of the Holder in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company in the good faith, reasonable exercise of its business judgment shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles so as to protect such exercise rights as aforesaid.

Section 7. Replacement of Warrant. Upon 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) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with, in the case of a Holder which is not a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Act, surety) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to it, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
