2.2 Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the applicable Exercise Price shall be made to the Company in cash or other immediately available funds. The amount
4
of the aggregate Exercise Price to be paid shall equal the product of (i) the Exercise Amount multiplied by (ii) the applicable Exercise Price per share.
2.3 Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its Warrant Office in proper form for exercise, and accompanied by payment of the applicable Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that certificates representing such shares of Common Stock may not then be actually delivered. Upon such surrender of this Warrant and payment of the applicable Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to, or upon the written order of, the Holder (and in such name or names as the Holder may designate) a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Amount.
2.4 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to deliver fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon an exercise of this Warrant, the Company may, in lieu of delivering such fraction of a share of Common Stock, make a cash payment to the Holder in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value Per Share determined as of the business day immediately preceding the date of exercise of this Warrant.
2.5 Partial Exercise. In the event of a partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue to the Holder a Warrant in like form for the unexercised portion thereof.
2.6 Shares to be Fully Paid and Nonassessable. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
2.7 Legend on Warrant Shares. Each certificate for shares initially issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such shares are registered under the Act, shall bear the following legend (and any additional legend required by (i) any national securities exchanges upon which such shares may, at the time of such exercise, be listed or under applicable securities laws, or (ii) applicable state securities laws):
The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or the securities laws of any state. They may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of in the absence of registration under the Act and all applicable securities laws, unless an exemption from registration is available.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under the Act of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear the above legend unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, which counsel and opinion are both reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to the restrictions on transferability. The provisions of Article IV shall be binding upon all subsequent holders of this Warrant.
5
2.8 Acknowledgment of Continuing Obligation. The Company shall, at the time of any exercise of this Warrant, upon request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to such Holder in respect of any rights to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after exercise in accordance with this Warrant; provided, however, that the failure of the Holder to make any such request shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to the Holder in respect of such rights.
2.9 Acquisition for Investment. Unless a current registration statement under the Act is in effect with respect to the Warrant Shares, the Holder hereof, by accepting this Warrant, covenants and agrees that, at the time of exercise hereof, and at the time of any proposed transfer of securities acquired upon exercise hereof, such Holder will deliver to the Company a written statement that the securities acquired by the Holder upon exercise hereof are for the account of the Holder for investment and are not acquired with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any public distribution thereof (or any portion thereof) and with no present intention (at any such time) of publicly offering and distributing such securities or any portion thereof.

5.1 Adjustment. If (i) the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities, or if additional shares or new or different shares or other securities are distributed in respect of such shares of Common Stock or any stock or securities received with respect to such Common Stock, through merger, consolidation, sale or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, split-off or other distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock (or any stock or securities received with respect to such Common Stock), or (ii) the value of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is reduced by reason of an extraordinary dividend payable in cash or property, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment may be made in the Aggregate Number and applicable Exercise Price.
5.2. No Fractional Shares. In computing adjustments under this Section 5.1, no fractional interests in Common Stock shall be issued, and the Company shall instead make any such payments to the Holder in cash.

Such notice shall be so given in the case of any action covered by clause (A) above at least 5 days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock for
8
purposes of such action and, in the case of any other such action, at least 5 days prior to the earlier of the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock.
(b) Adjustment Notice. Whenever the Aggregate Number and applicable Exercise Price is to be adjusted pursuant to this Article 5, unless otherwise agreed by the Holder, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 10 business days after the event requiring the adjustment) prepare a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment is to be calculated.

The Company shall promptly cause a copy of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder. The Company shall keep at its Warrant Office copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of the Warrant (in whole or in part) if so designated by the Holder.
(c) Termination Notice. Immediately following (x) the termination of X. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx’x employment by the Company or (y) the termination of Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxx’ membership on the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company shall provide the Holder with written notice thereof.
