Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within 3 Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within 1 Business Day of receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

|
|
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
|
|
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

(d)
|
Exercise Limitations. From the Original Issue Date until the 61st day prior to the Termination Date, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company (unless there are less than 61 days remaining until the Termination Date, in which case such notice period shall be one day less than the number of days remaining until the Termination Date), may waive the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d). Any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company (or such shorter period described in the previous sentence if there are less than 61 days remaining until the Termination Date). The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Mechanics of Exercise.
|
i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 3 Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, have been paid. Upon exercise, the certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
5
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
Section 3. Adjustments.
(a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this section shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event, the Exercise Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction:
i. the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and
6
ii. the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;
provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this section as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
(c) Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price pursuant to subsections 3(a) or 3(b), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
(d) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than shares of Common Stock) or in cash or other property (other than regular cash dividends paid out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such securities receivable during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 2 with respect to the rights of the Holder.
(e) Adjustment for Reorganization. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by subsections 2(a), 2(b) or 2(d)) (collectively, a “Reorganization”), then following such Reorganization, the Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such Reorganization if such exercise had taken place immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this section (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
7
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this section, the Company at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property for which this Warrant shall be exercisable and the Exercise Price) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Exercise Price then in effect and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.
Section 4. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares but shall pay the value thereof to the Holder in cash.
Section 5. Transfers and Restrictions Upon Transfers.
(a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall not be sold or transferred unless either (i) they first shall have been registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) the Company first shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no registration or opinion of counsel shall be required for (i) a transfer by a Holder which is an entity to a wholly-owned subsidiary of such entity, a transfer by a Holder which is a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner, or a transfer by a Holder which is a limited liability company to a member of such limited liability company or a retired member or to the estate of any such member or retired member, provided, that the transferee in each case agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this section; or (ii) a transfer made in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
(b) Each certificate representing Warrant Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:
“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless and until such securities are registered under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company is obtained to the effect that such registration is not required.”
8
(c) The Company will maintain a register containing the name and address of the Holder of this Warrant. The Holder may change its address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.
(d) Subject to the provisions of this section, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit B hereto) at the principal office of the Company (or, if another office or agency has been designated by the Company for such purpose, then at such other office or agency).
Section 6. Registration Rights.
(a) “Piggyback” Registration Rights.
i.
|
If the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock on Forms S-1, S-2 or S-3, or any successor forms, under the Securities Act, while the Holder owns Registrable Securities, the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Holder of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of the Holder made within 20 days after the receipt of any such notice, which written request shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock the Holder desires to be registered, the Company shall use its best commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities of the Holder to be registered under the Securities Act to permit the sale of such securities in accordance with the plan of distribution of the majority of the Common Stock to be registered by such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to discontinue any registration of such Registrable Securities of the Holder at any time prior to the effective date of such registration if the proposed registration of Common Stock giving rise to Company’s notice under this subsection is discontinued.
|
ii.
|
If the Holder shall request inclusion of any Registrable Securities held by the Holder in the registration of other Common Stock of the Company and such proposed registration by Company is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering, and if the managing underwriter determines and advises the Company in writing that inclusion in such registration of all proposed securities (including securities being offered by or on behalf of Company and securities covered by requests for registration) would adversely affect the marketability of the offering of the securities proposed to be registered by the Company, then the Holder shall be entitled to participate pro rata (based on the number of shares owned by the respective holders) with the other holders having similar piggyback registration rights with respect to such registration to the extent the managing underwriter determines that such shares may be included without such adverse effect.
|
(b) Demand Registration Rights. The Company shall, upon receipt of a written request from the holders of at least 25% of the Company’s unregistered Common Stock, promptly prepare and file under the Securities Act a Registration Statement in respect of such shares and use its best commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective promptly.
9
(c) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses incident to its performance of or compliance with the provisions of Sections 6(a) and (b) hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with the Securities Act, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (but not the legal fees of the Holder) and all independent public accountants and other persons retained by the Company, and any fees and disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities (excluding underwriting commissions and discounts).
(d) Obligations of Company:
i.
|
Whenever the Company is required to use its best commercially reasonable efforts to effect or cause the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this section, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and such prospectus current for a period not in excess of nine months as may be necessary in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement.
|
ii.
|
The Company will furnish to each seller of shares that number of copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), that number of copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the shares owned by such seller.
|
iii.
|
The Company will notify each seller of any such securities covered by such Registration Statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and each seller will discontinue any sale of shares until the seller has been advised that the Registration Statement has been amended, supplemented or otherwise no longer contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. At the request of any such seller who has requested registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this section, the Company will prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
|
10
(e) Indemnification and Notification.
i.
|
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, or contained in a prospectus furnished thereunder, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or caused by any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (provided, however, that the foregoing indemnification and agreement to hold harmless shall not apply insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, and liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any the Holder).
|
ii.
|
Promptly after receipt by the Holder of notice of the commencement of any action, the Holder shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this section, notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company shall not relieve it from any liability which the Company may have to the Holder under this section. In case any such action is brought against the Holder and the Company is notified of the commencement thereof as provided herein, the Company shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, and after notice from the Company to the Holder of the Company’s election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company shall not be liable hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by the Holder in connection with the defense thereof.
|
iii.
|
The Holder agrees to cooperate fully with the Company in effecting registration and qualification of its securities and of such distribution, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person who may control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each director of the Company, and each officer who signed any Registration Statement from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses, and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, or contained in a prospectus furnished thereunder, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to the Company by the Holder.
|
Section 7. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2.
(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
11
(c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
(d) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
12
(e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the laws of Delaware.
(f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.

No waivers of any term, condition or provision of this Warrant, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provisions.
(m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
