2.2 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected on the day on which all requirements of Section 2.1 shall have been met with respect to such exercise. At such time the Person in whose name any certificate for shares of Warrant Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of such shares, regardless of the actual delivery of certificates evidencing such shares.
2.3 Issuance of Stock. As soon as practicable after each exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued via book-entry in the name of the Warrant Holder or as the Warrant Holder may direct, the number of shares of Warrant Stock to which the Warrant Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise.
2.4 Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part, and the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant, which shall be dated as of the date of this Warrant, covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised.
Section 3. Warrant Adjustments. Warrant and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as follows:
3.1 Reclassification or Merger. In case of any capital reclassification or reorganization (other than a result of a subdivision, combination or dividend as described below), or in case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Holder a new Warrant (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Holder) providing that the Warrant Holder shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant and upon such exercise to receive, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or merger had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such event. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3 to pursue the economic benefit intended to be conferred upon the Warrant Holder by this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall similarly apply to any successive reclassification, changes, mergers and transfers.
3.2 Subdivisions or Combination of Shares. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, shall subdivide or combine its Common Stock or in the event of any dividend payable on the Common Stock in shares of the Common Stock, the number of shares of the Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise hereof shall be proportionately adjusted and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, so that the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price of this Warrant shall at all times remain unchanged.
3.3 Notice of Adjustment Events. Whenever the Company engages in an event which would give rise to adjustments under this Section 3, the Company shall mail to the Warrant Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date with respect to such event or, if no record date shall be established, at least ten (10) days prior to such event, a notice specifying (i) the nature of the contemplated event, and (ii) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such event, and (iii) the date on which such event is expected to become effective, and (iv) the time, if any is to be fixed, when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable in connection with such event.

3.4 Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Company shall within thirty (30) days of such adjustment deliver a certificate signed by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary to the Warrant Holder as the registered holder hereof setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Exercise Price after giving effect to such adjustment.
Section 4. Ownership, Transfer and Substitution of Warrants.
4.1 Transfer and Exchange of Warrants. The Warrant Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees to give written notice to the Company before transferring this Warrant or transferring any Warrant Stock issuable or issued upon the exercise hereof of such Warrant Holder’s intention to do so, describing briefly the manner of any proposed transfer of this Warrant or such Warrant Holder’s intention as to the disposition to be made of shares of Warrant Stock issuable or issued upon the exercise hereof. For any proposed transfer other than a transfer to an affiliate (as defined by Rule 405 of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Warrant Holder, such Warrant Holder shall also provide the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the proposed transfer of this Warrant or disposition of shares may be effected without registration or qualification (under any Federal or State law) of this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock issuable or issued upon the exercise hereof. Upon receipt by the Company of such written notice and, for transfers to non-affiliates, opinion of counsel, such Warrant Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant, or to exercise this Warrant in accordance with its terms and dispose of the shares received upon such exercise or to dispose of shares of Warrant Stock received upon the previous exercise of this Warrant, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Warrant Holder to the Company, provided that an appropriate legend respecting the aforesaid restrictions on transfer and disposition may be endorsed on this Warrant or the certificates for such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon registration of the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, no such opinion shall be required.
4.2 Transfers; Registered Holder as Owner. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the principal office of the Company by the Warrant Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that the bearer of this Warrant, when endorsed, may be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant, or to the transfer hereof on the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the owner for all purposes.
