Assumption of Warrant. Upon the dosing of any Acquisition the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly. 1.7.3. Purchase Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of Holder, the Company shall purchase the unexercised portion of this Warrant for cash upon the closing of any Acquisition for an amount equal to (a) the fair market value of any. consideration that would have been received by Holder in consideration of the Shares had Holder exercised the unexercised portion of this Warrant immediately before the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to participate in the proceeds of the Acquisition, less (b) the aggregate Warrant Price of the Shares, but in no event less than zero. 2 46 ARTICLE 2.

Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company's Articles of Incorporation upon the dosing of a registered public offering of the Company's common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant.

If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder's rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that the aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant is unchanged. 3 47 2.6 Fractional Shares.
