5. Disposition of Warrants or Shares.
(a) The Holder of this Warrant Certificate and any transferee hereof or of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, by their acceptance hereof or thereof, hereby understand and agree that this Warrant, and the Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof, have not been registered under either the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) or applicable state securities laws (the “State Acts”) and shall not be sold, pledged, hypothecated, donated or otherwise transferred (whether or not for consideration) except upon the issuance to the Company of a favorable opinion of counsel or submission to the Company of such evidence as may be satisfactory to counsel to the Company, in each such case, to the effect that any such transfer shall not be in violation of the Act and the State Acts. It shall be a condition to the transfer of this Warrant that any transferee hereof deliver to the Company its written agreement to accept and be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Warrant Certificate. (b) The stock certificates of the Company that will evidence the Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof may be imprinted with a conspicuous legend in substantially the following form: The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under either the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or applicable state securities laws (the “State Acts”) and shall not be
sold, pledged, hypothecated, donated or otherwise transferred (whether or not for consideration) by the holder except upon the issuance to the Company of a favorable opinion of its counsel or submission to the Company of such other evidence as may be satisfactory to counsel to the Company, in each case, to the effect that any such transfer shall not be in violation of the Act and the State Acts. The Company does not file, and does not in the foreseeable future contemplate filing, periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company has not agreed to register any of the Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof for distribution in accordance with the provisions of the Act or the State Acts, and the Company has not agreed to comply with any exemption from registration under the Act or the State Acts for the resale of such Shares. Hence, it is the understanding of the Holder of this Warrant that by virtue of the provisions of certain rules respecting “restricted securities” promulgated by the SEC, the Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof may be required to be held indefinitely, unless and until registered under the Act and the State Acts, unless an exemption from such registration is available, in which case the Holder may still be limited as to the number of such Shares that may sold. 6. Adjustments.
The Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant are subject to proportionate adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the events enumerated below.
(a) In case the Company shall: (i) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant that number of Shares which such Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive after the happening of such event had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the effective date. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be made whenever any of such events shall occur, but shall become effective retroactively after such record date or such effective date, as the case may be, as to any portion of this Warrant exercised between such record date or effective date and date of happening of any such event. (b) No adjustment shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in the number of Shares purchasable hereunder; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (b) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, AU calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth of a Share. (c) Whenever the Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder are adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6 a notice (i) stating that the Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant have been adjusted, (ii) setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) showing in reasonable detail the computations and the facts, including the amount of consideration received or deemed to have been received by the Company, upon which such adjustments are based. 7. Fractional Shares.
The Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a Share upon the exercise of this Warrant or any portion hereof If more than one Warrant Certificate (each such Warrant Certificate representing a portion of this Warrant) shall be surrendered for exercise at one time by the same Holder, the number of full Shares which shall be issuable upon exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Shares represented by the Warrant Certificates surrendered. If any fractional interest in a Share shall be issuable upon exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Shares represented by the Warrant Certificates surrendered. If any fractional interest in a Share shall be deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall make an adjustment therefor in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Shares on the business day next preceding the day of exercise.
