2. Share Price; Exercise Price
(a) As of the Issue Date, the Share Price shall be equal to Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) per Warrant Share. The Share Price and the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 5 hereof.
(b) At all times during the Warrant Term, the exercise price of the Warrant shall be equal to $.0001 per Warrant Share (the “Exercise Price”).
3. Warrant Term
The Warrant and the right to purchase the Common Shares as granted herein shall be exercisable at any time from through the fifth anniversary thereof (the “Warrant Term”). If the Warrant is not exercised by Holder within the Warrant Term, then (a) Issuer shall be deemed to have given a Call Notice under Section 7.02 hereof; (b) the Warrant shall immediately terminate as to further exercises under Section 4; and (c) Holder thereafter shall have the right to receive the Redemption Price for the Warrant in accordance with Section 7.02.
4. Exercise of Purchase Rights
4.01. Notice of Exercise
The Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by Holder at any time during the Warrant Term, by tendering to Issuer a duly completed and executed notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”), specifying the portion of the Warrant to be exercised (stated either as a number of U.S. dollars or as a percentage of the then-current Purchase Price); payment in an amount equal to the number of Issued Shares (as defined in Section 4.02) multiplied by the Exercise Price; and the original of this Warrant Agreement. Exercise of the Warrant shall be effective as of the date on which Issuer actually receives the Notice of Exercise and original Warrant Agreement at its address for notice specified in Section 11.01 hereof (the “Exercise Date”).
4.02. Duties of Issuer
Within 15 business days after the Exercise Date, Issuer shall enroll Holder on the stock transfer ledger for the Common Shares, as the owner and holder of a number of Common Shares equal to the exercised portion of the Warrant (as specified in the Notice of Exercise) divided by the then-current Share Price (the “Issued Shares”). If Issuer has appointed a transfer agent for the Common Shares, then Issuer shall direct the transfer agent to issue the Issued Shares and enroll Holder as the owner and holder thereof; provided, that the failure of the transfer agent for the Common Shares to complete the issuance of the Issued Shares and/or the enrollment of Holder as holder and owner thereof within 15 business days shall not be deemed a breach of this Warrant Agreement by Issuer.
4.03. Effectiveness of Issuance
Upon fulfillment of the foregoing requirements, Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of the Issued Shares (and the Issued Shares shall be deemed to have been issued) as of the Exercise Date.
4.04. No Rights as Shareholder
Neither the issuance of the Warrant, nor this Warrant Agreement, entitles Holder to any voting rights or other rights whatsoever unless and until Holder shall exercise the Warrant as provided herein.
5. Adjustment of Share Price
5.01. Definitions
As used in this Section 5, the following terms have the following meanings:
(a) “Additional Stock” means any Common Shares issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 5.02(c)) by Issuer after the Issue Date other than:
(i) Common Shares issued pursuant to a transaction described in Section 5.02(d);
(ii) Common Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of options or other awards granted under any stock option or equity incentive award plan maintained by Issuer at any time or from time to time;
(iii) Common Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.
(b) “Board” or “Board of Trustees” means the Board of Trustees of Issuer.
(c) “Convertible Securities” means any indebtedness or Shares of stock convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or any rights, options or warrants to purchase any Common Shares.
(d) “Common Shares Outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis” as of any time, means the sum of all Common Shares then issued and outstanding, exclusive of treasury Shares, plus any Common Shares issuable at any time in the future pursuant to then outstanding Common Share Equivalents, options, warrants, conversion rights, “earn out” obligations and similar rights (whether or not such rights are currently exercisable).
(e) “Common Share Equivalents” means securities or other rights convertible into, exchangeable for, or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional Common Shares.
(f) “Liquidation” means (i) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of Issuer, (ii) any acquisition of Issuer by means of merger or other form or reorganization pursuant to which (A) Shares of Issuer are exchanged for or converted into securities or other consideration issued or caused to be issued by or on behalf of the acquiring corporation or its subsidiary, or (B) Shares of Issuer are issued such that holders of voting securities of Issuer immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction hold less than 50% of the voting power of outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity immediately following the consummation of such transaction, or (iii) the sale of all or substantially all assets of Issuer, (other than any merger, sales of assets, dissolution, liquidation or winding up solely in connection with any reincorporation of Issuer in another jurisdiction).
5.02. Adjustment of Share Price
The Share Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Upon each issuance (or deemed issuance pursuant to the provisions hereof) by Issuer of any Additional Stock for a price per Share other than the Share Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance (or deemed issuance) of such Additional Stock, then the Share Price in effect immediately prior to each issuance (or deemed issuance) shall be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Share Price by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, plus the number of Common Shares issuable in respect of Common Share Equivalents outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, plus the number of Common Shares which the aggregate consideration received (or deemed received) by Issuer for such issuance would purchase at the Share Price; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such issuance, plus the number of Common Shares issuable in respect of Common Share Equivalents outstanding immediately after such issuance.
(b) No adjustment of the Share Price shall be made in an amount less than one-half of one cent ($0.005) per Share; provided, that any adjustments which are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be taken into account in any subsequent adjustment to the Share Price. No adjustment of the Share Price pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall have the effect of increasing such Share Price above the Share Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(c) In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the Issue Date) of options or Convertible Securities, the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this Section 5.02:
(i) With respect to options to purchase Common Stock, the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares deliverable upon exercise of such options shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options were issued.
(ii) With respect to Convertible Securities and options to purchase Convertible Securities, the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares deliverable upon the conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Securities and the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of such options to purchase Convertible Securities and the subsequent conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such Convertible Securities or such options were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by Issuer for any such Convertible Securities and options, plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by Issuer upon the conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities or the exercise of such options and the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such options (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in Section 5.02(f)).
(iii) In the event of any change in the number of Common Shares deliverable or in the consideration payable to Issuer upon exercise of such options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, including a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the Share Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options or Convertible Securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Shares or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iv) Upon the expiration or termination of any such options or any such rights to convert or exchange Convertible Securities, the Share Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options or Convertible Securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of Common Shares (and options and Convertible Securities which remain in effect) that were actually issued upon the exercise of such options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(v) The number of Common Shares deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to Sections 5.02(c)(i) and 5.02(c)(ii) hereof shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either Section 5.02(c)(iii) or 5.02(c)(iv).
(d) If Issuer, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, fixes a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares or the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents (including the additional Common Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then the Share Price shall be appropriately decreased, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend, distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), so that the number of Common Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of Common Shares or Common Shares issuable with respect to Common Share Equivalents, with the number of Common Shares issuable with respect to Common Share Equivalents determined from time to time in the manner provided for deemed issuances in Section 5.02(c).
(e) If the number of Common Shares outstanding at any time after the Issue Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Shares, then, following the record date of such combination, the Share Price shall be appropriately increased so that the number of Common Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the outstanding Common Shares.
(f) The value of the consideration received upon the issuance of securities of Issuer shall be determined as follows:
(i) In the case of the issuance of securities of Issuer for cash, the amount of consideration received by Issuer for such securities shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by Issuer for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(ii) In the case of the issuance of securities of Issuer for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to have a dollar value equal to the fair market value of such non-cash consideration, irrespective of any accounting treatment thereof, as determined by the Board of Trustees in good faith.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.02, if at any time the Common Shares have been registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), or if Issuer is required for any reason to file reports under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, then the Share Price shall be equal to:
(i) If the Common Shares are traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing prices of the Common Shares on such exchange or system over the period of 20 trading days period ending the trading day immediately prior to the Exercise Date; or
(ii) If the Common Shares are actively traded over-the-counter, the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the period of 20 trading days ending the trading day immediately prior to the Exercise Date.
5.03. Recapitalization
If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Shares that does not constitute a Liquidation, provision shall be made so that Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, the number of Shares of stock or other securities or property of Issuer otherwise receivable upon such recapitalization by a holder of the number of Common Shares into which such Series A Preferred Shares could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of Holder after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustments of the Share Price then in effect and the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
5.04. No Fractional Shares
No fractional Shares shall be issued upon exercise of the Warrant, and the number of Common Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share, and there shall be no payment to Holder for any such rounded fractional Share. Whether or not fractional Shares result from such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total portion of the Warrant Holder is exercising at the time (as provided in Section 4) and the total number of Common Shares issuable upon such conversion.
5.05. Certificate as to Adjustments
Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Share Price pursuant to this Section 5, Issuer, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. Upon the written request of Holder at any time during the Warrant Term, Issuer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Holder a like certificate setting forth (a) such adjustment and readjustment, (b) the Share Price, as applicable, at the time in effect, and (c) he number of Common Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.
6. Reservation of Common Shares
Issuer at all times shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrant, such number of its Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the issuance of all Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in full, at the then-current Share Price. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, then Issuer will take such corporate action as, in the opinion of its counsel, may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Shares to such number of Common Shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
7. Redemption of Warrant
7.01. By Holder
At any time during the Warrant Term, Holder may redeem the then-outstanding portion of the Warrant, in whole or in part, by written notice to Issuer (a “Put Notice”), specifying the portion of the Warrant to be redeemed (stated either as a number of U.S. dollars or as a percentage of the then-current Purchase Price). Within 15 days after the date on which Issuer actually receives a Put Notice and the original Warrant Agreement at its address for notice specified in Section 11.01 hereof, Issuer shall repurchase from Holder the portion of the Warrant specified in the Put Notice for an amount equal to the portion of the then-current Purchase Price specified in the Put Notice, payable in cash or collected funds.
7.02. By Issuer
At any time during the Warrant Term, Issuer may redeem then then-outstanding portion of the Warrant, in whole but not in part, by written notice to Holder (a “Call Notice”). Upon receiving a Call Notice or the expiration of the Warrant Term, as the case may be, Holder promptly shall tender to Issuer the original of this Warrant Agreement. Within 15 days after the date on which Issuer actually receives the original Warrant Agreement at its address for notice specified in Section 11.01 hereof, Issuer shall repurchase the Warrant from Holder for an amount equal to 110% of the then-current Purchase Price of the Warrant, payable in cash or collected funds (the “Redemption Price”).
8. No Change of Warrant Necessary

circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state securities laws. If the Shares are then certificated, all Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

11. Other Covenants
