On any such partial exercise, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, the whole number of shares of common stock for which such
Warrant may still be exercised.

 

(iii) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the Registration Rights set forth in Section 8 hereof is not in effect within
one (1) year after the Issuance Date, the Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Series A Exercise Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A, in which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed

- 3 -

 

 continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

(f)           Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed
to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid.

any time after the consummation of such event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such event, to receive at the Exercise Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such event, the securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of the such event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments as provided in Section 3(e), and in such case, this Warrant
shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the common stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such event.

 

(b)           Liquidity Event.  The Company shall provide the Holder with at least ten (10) business days written notice of the anticipated closing of a Liquidity Event and Holder shall be permitted to make

(d)           Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.  In the event the Company shall at any time following the Issuance Date issue any additional shares
of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, except for the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Debentures, the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of the Series B Warrants or employee stock options, at a price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Exercise Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such additional shares of Common Stock.

(e)           Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.  If at any time the Company shall:

              i.           make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock,

              iii           combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,

then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is convertible immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

           (f)       Certificate as to Adjustments.  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of common stock (or other securities) issuable on the exercise
of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of common stock (or other securities)
issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of common stock (or other securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of common stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant.

to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder fails to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such Holder any such rights.

 

(f)           Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed
to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid.

2.           Adjustments of Warrant.

 

(a)           Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Not Constituting Liquidity Event.  In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, or (b) consolidate with
or merge into any other person, which in either case does not constitute a Liquidity Event (as defined herein), then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company to the Exercise Price and the numbers of Warrant Share that may be purchased upon the exercise of this Warrant so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof
any time after the consummation of such event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such event, to receive at the Exercise Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such event, the securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of the such event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments as provided in Section 3(e), and in such case, this Warrant
shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the common stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such event.

 

(b)           Liquidity Event.  The Company shall provide the Holder with at least ten (10) business days written notice of the anticipated closing of a Liquidity Event and Holder shall be permitted to make
its exercise of this Warrant contingent upon the closing of such Liquidity Event. For the purpose of this Warrant, Liquidation Event is means any of the following:  (i) a merger of the Company into or with another person or any sale or transfer of the equity interests of the Company in any such case in which the equity holders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction possess less than 50% of the Company’s or the surviving

(c)           Dissolution.  In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its
expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrants after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Section 3.

 

(d)           Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.  In the event the Company shall at any time following the Issuance Date issue any additional shares
of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, except for the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Debentures, the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of the Series A Warrants or employee stock options, at a price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Exercise Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such additional shares of Common Stock.

(e)           Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.  If at any time the Company shall:

              i.           make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock,

              iii           combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,

then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is convertible immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

           (f)       Certificate as to Adjustments.  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of common stock (or other securities) issuable on the exercise
of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of common stock (or other securities)
issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of common stock (or other securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of common stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant.
