If at any time during the term of this Warrant the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. All shares that may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant upon issuance, will be fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issuance thereof.

If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as a result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefore shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 10.
(B) Split, Subdivision, Reverse Split or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall issue additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock, or split, subdivide, reverse split or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the Exercise Price per share for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a stock dividend, split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination or reverse split and the number of shares which the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive upon exercise shall be correspondingly appropriately adjusted.

12. Lockup Following Public Offering. The Holder agrees not to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of Common Stock within 180 days following the effective date of an initial public offering of Common Stock by the Company or such shorter time period as approved by the Company in writing or such longer period up to 12 months as may be required by the managing underwriter or otherwise for listing of the Company’s Common Stock.
