5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share.
6. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF EXERCISE SHARES.
The number and kind of Exercise Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
6.1 Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. In the event that the outstanding shares of any class or series of Warrant Stock are subdivided (by stock split, issuance of additional shares as a dividend or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of such securities, the number of Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision in respect of such class or series of Warrant Stock shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Exercise Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same as of immediately prior to such subdivision. In the event the outstanding shares of any class or series of Warrant Stock are combined (by, reclassification, reverse stock split or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of such class or series of Warrant Stock, the number of Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Exercise Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same as of immediately prior to such combination. Any adjustment under this Section 6.1 shall become effective (i) in the case of any subdivision or combination, at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or (ii) in the case of an issuance of additional shares of Warrant Stock as a dividend, as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
6.2 Adjustments for Dividends and Distributions. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable with respect to any class or series of Warrant Stock that is payable in (i) securities of the Company or (ii) evidence of indebtedness, rights, warrants, cash or other assets which dividend or distribution is actually made (other than in the case of each of clause (i) and clause (ii), issuances with respect to which adjustment is made under Sections 6.1 or 6.3), then, and in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Fair Market Value of the Warrant Stock minus the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one Exercise Share divided by (y) such Fair Market Value specified in clause (x). In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the number of Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such securities, evidences of indebtedness, rights, warrants, cash or other assets, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.

6.3 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution; Redemption. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of any class or series of the Warrant Stock is reclassified, exchanged, converted, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series (each a “Reorganization Event”), provided, that, none of the foregoing resulting subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 6.1 above shall constitute a Reorganization Event, then from and after the consummation of such Reorganization Event, (i) this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Exercise Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such Reorganization Event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant and (ii) the Exercise Price shall be proportionately and equitably adjusted. The provisions of this Section 6.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events. In the event that all of the outstanding shares of any class or series of Warrant Stock are redeemed in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation, this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full immediately prior to such redemption and the preferred stock received thereupon had been simultaneously converted into common stock.
7. CHANGE OF CONTROL EVENT.
7.1 Upon the closing of any Change of Control Event, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant if such Exercise Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Change of Control Event, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with Sections 6.1 through 6.3 of this Warrant.
8. REDEMPTION.
8.1 At any time when this Warrant is exercisable for less than 1,000 Exercise Shares, the Company shall have the right to redeem all or a portion of this Warrant by paying to the Holder an amount in cash equal to $100 per Exercise Share that would otherwise be issuable (the “Redemption Amount”).

9. RESERVATION OF SHARES; NO IMPAIRMENT.
9.1 The Company covenants and agrees that the Company will, at all times during the Exercise Period, take such corporate or other requisite action as required in order to have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of each class and series of Warrant Stock to satisfy the exercise of this Warrant from time to time as these Warrants are presented for exercise in accordance with the terms hereof and a sufficient number of shares of each class and series of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of any Exercise Shares issuable hereunder. If, at any time during the Exercise Period, the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s equity securities shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant or conversion of the Exercise Shares, the Company will promptly take such corporate or other requisite action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s equity securities to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and free and clear of preemptive rights.
