4. Exercise and Duration of Warrant.
(a) All or any part of this Underwriter Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by Section 10 of this Underwriter Warrant at any time and from time to time on or after one-year anniversary of the Original Issue Date and through and including 5:30 p.m. New York City time, on the Expiration Date. After 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Underwriter Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value and this Underwriter Warrant shall be terminated and no longer outstanding.
(b) The Holder may exercise this Underwriter Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1 hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed, via overnight courier, facsimile, email or otherwise in the manner set forth in Section 13, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price in accordance with Section 10 for the number of Underwriter Warrant Shares as to which this Underwriter Warrant is being exercised (which payment may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice (a “Cashless Exercise”)) no later than one (1) Business Day following delivery of the Exercise Notice (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”), and the date on which the last of such items is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” For the avoidance of any doubt, no original, manually executed Exercise Notice, nor any medallion guaranty, notary attestation or any similar deliverable of or on any Exercise Notice, shall be required in order to effectuate an exercise of all or a portion of this Underwriter Warrant.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Underwriter Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Underwriter Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Underwriter Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company. However, if this Underwriter Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 4 and the number of Underwriter Warrant Shares represented by this Underwriter Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Underwriter Warrant Shares with respect to which this Underwriter Warrant is being exercised, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant representing the right to purchase the number of Underwriter Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Underwriter Warrant, less the number of Underwriter Warrant Shares with respect to which this Underwriter Warrant is exercised. Partial exercises of this Underwriter Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Underwriter Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Underwriter Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Underwriter Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Underwriter Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Exercise Notice within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Underwriter Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Underwriter Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Underwriter Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
(d) For purposes of clarification, unless required pursuant to industry standard stock transfer procedures, the Transfer Agent shall not require the Holder to obtain a medallion guaranty, notary attestation or any similar deliverable in order to effectuate an exercise of all or a portion of this Underwriter Warrant.
(e) The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Underwriter Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

5. Delivery of Underwriter Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon proper exercise of this Underwriter Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the Exercise Notice) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate (provided that, if the Registration Statement is not effective and the Holder directs the Company to deliver a certificate for the Underwriter Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder, it shall deliver to the Company on the Exercise Date an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the issuance of such Underwriter Warrant Shares in such other name may be made pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or blue sky laws), (i) a certificate for the Underwriter Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends, or (ii) if so requested by Holder, an electronic delivery of the Underwriter Warrant Shares to the Holder’s account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a similar organization. The Holder, or any Person permissibly so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Underwriter Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Underwriter Warrant Shares within the timeframe set forth above in this Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Underwriter Warrant Shares in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof (including the limitations set forth in Section 11 below) 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, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit the 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 certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue to the Holder within the later of (i) three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice and (ii) two (2) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price (or valid notice of a Cashless Exercise) (such later date, the “Share Delivery Deadline”), a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Underwriter Warrant (as the case may be), and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such exercise that the Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii).
