The Warrant Register shall set forth the number of each Warrant, the name and address of the holder thereof, and the Current Holder’s
Equity Interest for which the Warrant is then exercisable. The Warrant Register will be maintained by the Company and will be available
for inspection by the Holder at the principal office of the Company or such other location as the Company may designate to the
Holder in the manner set forth in Section 5.1 hereof. The Company shall be entitled to treat the Holder as the owner in
fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant on
the part of any other Person.


 


SECTION 2.2 Exchange
of Warrants for Warrants.


 


(a)               
The Holder may exchange this Warrant for another Warrant or Warrants of like kind and tenor representing in the aggregate
the right to purchase the same Current Holder’s Equity Interest which could be purchased pursuant to the Warrant being so
exchanged. In order to effect an exchange permitted by this Section 2.2, the Holder shall deliver to the Company such Warrant
accompanied by an Exchange Form in the form attached hereto as Annex 3 signed by the Holder thereof specifying the number
and denominations of Warrants to be issued in such exchange and the names in which such Warrants are to be issued. Within ten (10)
Business Days of receipt of such a request, the Company shall issue, register and deliver to the Holder thereof each Warrant to
be issued in such exchange.


 


(b)              
Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company (an affidavit of the Holder, including indemnification reasonably
acceptable to the Company) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant or, in the case of any
such mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant, the Company shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such Warrant
a new Warrant of like kind and tenor representing the same rights represented by and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed
or mutilated Warrant. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the
allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by any Person.


 


(c)               
The Company shall pay all Taxes (other than any applicable income or similar Taxes payable by a Holder of a Warrant) attributable
to an exchange of a Warrant pursuant to this Section 2.2; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any Tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of any Warrant in a name other
than that of the Holder of the Warrant being exchanged.

SECTION 2.3 Transfer
of Warrant.


 


(a)               
Subject to Section 2.3(c) hereof, each Warrant and the rights thereunder may be transferred by the Holder thereof,
in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company such Warrant accompanied by a properly completed Assignment Form in the form
of Annex 2. Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such Assignment Form the Company shall issue, register and deliver
to the new Holder, subject to Section 2.3(c) hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like kind and tenor representing in the
aggregate the right to purchase the same Current Holder’s Equity Interest which could be purchased pursuant to the Warrant
being transferred. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, the original power of attorney, duly approved, or a copy thereof, duly
certified, shall be deposited and remain with the Company. In case of a transfer by executors, administrators, guardians or other
legal representatives, duly authenticated evidence of their authority shall be produced and may be required to be deposited and
remain with the Company in its discretion.


 


(b)              
Each Warrant issued in accordance with this Section 2.3 shall bear the restrictive legend set forth on the face of
this Warrant, unless the Holder or transferee thereof supplies to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, that the restrictions described in such legend are no longer applicable to such Warrant.


 


(c)               
The transfer of Warrants and any Equity Interest purchased thereunder shall be permitted, so long as such transfer is pursuant
to a transaction that complies with, or is exempt from, the provisions of the Securities Act, and the Company may require an opinion
of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it to such effect prior to effecting any transfer of Warrants or any
Equity Interest purchased thereunder.


 


ARTICLE III



EXERCISE OF WARRANT; EXCHANGE FOR EQUITY INTEREST


 


SECTION 3.1 Exercise
of Warrants. On any Business Day before the Expiration Date, the Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by
delivering to the Company this Warrant accompanied by a properly completed Exercise Form in the form of Annex 1 and a check
in an aggregate amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price.


 


SECTION 3.2 Issuance
of Equity Interest.


 


(a)               
The Company represents and warrants that the authorized Equity Interest of the Company consists solely of (i) 5,000,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which only 220,000,000 common shares have been issued as of the date hereof
and (ii) 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which no preferred shares have been issued as of the date hereof. The shares
of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding as of the date hereof are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable. The delivery to the Holder of certificates representing the Equity Interest that the Holder purchases pursuant
to the exercise of this Warrant shall grant to the Holder good and valid title to the Equity Interest represented by such certificate,
free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, security interests, charges or encumbrances of any kind or nature or any option,
warrant or trust having the practical effect of any of the foregoing.


 






    	7



    	 



    

  


(b)              
Immediately upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section 3.1, the Company (the "Delivery
Date") shall issue the Equity Interest that the Holder has purchased pursuant to such exercise, deliver to the Holder
the certificates representing such Equity Interest and reflect the issuance of such Equity Interest, which Equity Interest shall
be duly authorized, validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, in the Company’s shareholder records (maintained
by the Company or its duly appointed transfer agent), whereupon the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes, effective as of the
Delivery Date, to be a holder of record and beneficial owner of the Equity Interest that it has purchased pursuant to such exercise.


 


(c)               
If a Holder shall exercise this Warrant for less than all of the Equity Interest which could be purchased or received hereunder,
the Company shall issue to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days of the Delivery Date, a new Warrant of like kind and tenor
to this Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining Equity Interest represented by the Warrant. This Warrant shall be
cancelled upon surrender thereof pursuant to Section 3.1.


 


(d)              
The Company shall pay all Taxes (other than any applicable income or similar Taxes payable by a Holder of a Warrant) attributable
to the initial issuance of any Equity Interest upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant or any successor Warrant; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any Tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issuance of a successor to this Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant being exercised or exchanged.


 


(e)               
Except as set forth in any document that is un-redacted and publicly filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether absolute, accrued, contingent
or otherwise and whether due or to become due) which are not fully reflected or reserved against on the balance sheet as of June
30, 2014 in accordance with GAAP, except for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and consistent
with past practice since the date thereof.


 


SECTION 3.3 Adjustment
of Holder’s Equity Interest. The Equity Interest issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (such Equity Interest is referred
to herein as the "Holder's Equity Interest") shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with
this Section 3.3.


 


SECTION 3.3.1 
 Issuance of Additional Equity Interest; Capital Reorganization or Capital Reclassifications. If, at any time
after the date hereof, the Equity Interests of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of
shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation, whether through reorganization, recapitalization,
stock split-up, combination of shares, merger or consolidation (including, without limitation, any subdivision or combination of
Equity Interest), then in each case the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that this Warrant shall, effective
as of the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, of such event, be exercisable or exchangeable for
the kind and number of equity securities, cash or other property to which a holder of the Equity Interest deliverable upon exercise
or exchange of this Warrant would have been entitled upon such event and any such provision shall include adjustments in respect
of such securities or other property that shall be equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant with respect to such
Warrant.

SECTION 3.3.2 
Consolidations and Mergers; Dissolution.


 


(a)               
If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company shall consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell all or substantially
all of its assets or property to, another Person, then the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that each Warrant
shall, effective as of the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, of such event, be exercisable or
exchangeable for the kind and number of shares of stock, membership or other equity interests, other securities, cash or other
property to which a holder of the Equity Interest deliverable upon exercise or exchange of such Warrant would have been entitled
upon such event. The Company shall not consolidate or merge unless, prior to consummation, the successor corporation (if other
than the Company) assumes the obligations of this paragraph by written instrument executed and mailed to the Holder at the Holder’s
address set forth in Section 5.1. A sale or lease of all or substantially all the assets of the Company for a consideration (apart
from the assumption of obligations) consisting primarily of securities is a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.


 


(b)              
In case a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with
a consolidation or merger covered by subsection (a) above) is at any time proposed, the Company shall give at least 30 days’
prior written notice to the Holder. Such notice shall contain: (1) the date on which the transaction is to take place; (2) the
record date (which shall be at least 30 days after the giving of the notice) as of which the Holder will be entitled to receive
distributions as a result of the transaction; (3) a brief description of the transaction; (4) a brief description of the distributions
to be made to the Holder as a result of the transaction and (5) an estimate of the fair value of the distributions. On the date
of the transaction, if it actually occurs, this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall terminate.


 


SECTION 3.3.3 
 Adjustments to the Current Holder’s Equity Interest. Subject to the terms of this Section 3.3.3, the Current
Holder’s Equity Interest (and the Warrant) shall be subject to increase (but not decrease) pursuant to the following:


 


(a)               
if the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ audited Adjusted EBITDA for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2018
does not equal or exceed $19,250,000 (the "Target EBITDA"), the Current Holder’s Equity Interest applicable
to the Warrant shall increase (but not decrease) by a percentage equal to the ratio (the "Conversion Ratio") of
(i)(a) the Target EBITDA, minus (b) the audited Adjusted EBITDA of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year to (ii)
the audited Adjusted EBITDA of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year, provided, however, that in no event will
an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph 3.3.3(a) result in the Current Holder's Equity Interest (and the Warrant) exceeding three
and one-half (3.5) times the amount same would have been were it not for the adjustment under this paragraph 3.3.3(a).


 


(b)              
Solely for the purposes of illustration, an example of the calculations described in this Section 3.3.3 is set forth on
Schedule 3.3.3 attached hereto.


 


SECTION 3.3.4 
Notice; Calculations; Etc. Whenever the Equity Interest issuable hereunder shall be adjusted as provided in this
Section 3.3, the Company shall provide to the Holder a statement, signed by an Executive Officer, describing in detail the
facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth a calculation of the Equity Interest applicable to each Warrant after giving
effect to such adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3.3 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth of a cent
or to the nearest one-tenth of a unit, as the case may be.

ARTICLE IV



CERTAIN OTHER RIGHTS


 


SECTION 4.1 Registration
Rights.


 


(a)At any time
at which this Warrant or the Equity Interest underlying the same remains outstanding, upon the request of the Holder, the Company
will enter into a registration rights agreement with Holder (the "Rights Agreement"). Such Rights Agreement shall
provide that beginning October 1, 2015, if the Company is eligible for the use of a registration statement on Form S-3, then the
Holder shall have the right to request an initial registration and thereafter on a quarterly basis after such initial registration
shall have been declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, registration of its Equity Interests on Form
S-3 or any similar short-form registration (each, a "Demand Registration"). The Rights Agreement will provide
that each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Equity Interests requested to be registered
and that the Company shall cause a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) to be filed within twenty (20) days
after the date on which the initial request is given and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement
to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter. The Rights Agreement will provide that the Company
may postpone for up to ninety (90) days the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if the
Company determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Demand Registration would (i) materially interfere with a significant
acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of
material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company
unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. The Rights Agreement shall contain such other terms
and conditions applicable to the Holder no less favorable to the Holder than registration rights made available to any other holder
of any Equity Interest or other equity security of the Company.


 


(b)The rights to
cause the Company to register Equity Interests pursuant hereto may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by the Holder
in a Qualified Assignment; provided, that, (i) the Company is, upon or within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished
with written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights
are being assigned, (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of
this Warrant, (iii) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such
securities by transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act, and (iv) such assignment shall be effective only if
immediately following such transfer such Equity Interests continue to be Equity Interests of the Company.

SECTION 5.2 No Voting
Rights: Limitations of Liability. This Warrant shall not entitle the holder thereof to any voting rights or, except as otherwise
provided or referenced herein, other rights of an equity owner of the Company. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative
action by the Holder to purchase its Equity Interest, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder shall
give rise to any liability of the Holder for the Exercise Price of the Equity Interest acquirable by exercise hereunder or as a
stockholder of the Company.


 


SECTION 5.3 Amendments
and Waivers. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended or waived, but only pursuant to a written agreement signed by the
Company and the Holder; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant will automatically be
amended, without any further action required by the Company and the Holder under this Section 5.3, if the Current Holder’s
Equity Interest is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3.3.


 


SECTION 5.4 Severability.
If any provision of this Warrant shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach
only to such provision and shall not in any way affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement,
and such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect the parties' original intentions as nearly as possible in accordance
with Applicable Law(s).


 


SECTION 5.5 Specific
Performance. The Holder shall have the right to specific performance by the Company of the provisions of this Warrant, in addition
to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity. The Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent that it may do so under
Applicable Law, any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which may be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance
in any action brought against the Company for specific performance of this Warrant by the Holder.


 


SECTION 5.6 Binding
Effect. This Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Holder and their respective successors
and assigns.

notwithstanding that all of the parties hereto are not signatory to the original or the same counterpart. In addition, any counterpart
signature page may be executed by any party wherever such party is located, and may be delivered by telephone facsimile or by electronic
mail in PDF format, and any such transmitted signature pages may be attached to one or more counterparts of this Warrant, and such
faxed or sent by electronic mail signature(s) shall have the same force and effect, and be as binding, as if original signatures
had been executed and delivered in person.


 


SECTION 5.8 Entire
Agreement. This Warrant, together with the other documents and instruments entered into by the parties thereto in connection
therewith, constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes

JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT

Warrant(s) hereto).

Schedule 3.3.3


 


Calculations for Adjustment of Current
Holder’s Equity Interest


 


Section 3.3.3(a):


 


If the audited Adjusted EBITDA of the Company and its Subsidiaries
for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2018 equals $15,000,000, the Current Holder’s Equity Interest is increased by a percentage
equal to:


 


($19,250,000 - $15,000,000) / $15,000,000 = 0.28333333


 


Therefore, the Current Holder’s Equity Interest equals
465,880 shares * 1.28333333 = 597,879 shares; provided, however, that the Current Holder’s Equity Interest would not exceed
three and one-half (3.5) times 465,880 shares, for a total number of shares of 1,630,580.
