If this Warrant is exercised in part, this Warrant must be exercised for a minimum of 100 shares of the Common Stock, and the Holder is entitled to receive a new Warrant covering the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which this Warrant has not been exercised and setting forth the proportionate part of the Aggregate Warrant Price applicable to such Warrant Shares.
