The Holder will be treated as the record owner of Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which (i) the completed, executed form of Exercise Notice is delivered, and (ii) payment is made for the shares.
(b) Delivery. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company will, (x) within three Business Days after exercise, issue and deliver a statement for the Warrant Shares that were purchased, at the Company’s expense, to the Holder or, (y) if available, and upon request and at the expense of the Holder, within three Business Days after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised, deliver the Warrant Shares by book entry, confirmed by the Company’s transfer agent.
“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday and any day that is a legal holiday under the Laws of the State of Ohio or Florida, or is a day on which banking institutions located in the State of Ohio or Florida are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close.
(c) Acknowledgement. In the case of a purchase of less than all the Warrant Shares, the Company will execute and deliver to the Holder, within ten days after the rights represented by this Warrant have been exercised, an Acknowledgement in the form of Appendix B indicating the number of Warrant Shares which remain subject to this Warrant, if any.
2. Payment for Shares. The aggregate purchase price for Warrant Shares being purchased hereunder may be paid by (i) cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account specified by the Company, or (ii) certified or bank cashier’s check.
3. Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all action as may be reasonably necessary to assure that the shares of Class A Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system, if applicable, upon which the Class A Stock may be listed.
4. Adjustment of Stock Purchase Price and Number of Shares. The Stock Purchase Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment as described in this Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the Stock Purchase Price, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Stock Purchase Price resulting from the adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to the adjustment, and dividing the product by the Stock Purchase Price resulting from the adjustment.
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Dividends. If the Company (x) pays a dividend or makes a distribution, in shares of Class A Stock, on any all or substantially all shares of Class A Stock, (y) splits or subdivides its outstanding Class A Stock into a greater number of shares, or (z) combines its outstanding Class A Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each case the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Class A Stock that the Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the event. An adjustment made under this Section 4(a) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the dividend or distribution date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date in the case of a subdivision, split or combination, as the case may be. If as a result of an adjustment under this Section 4(a), the Holder is entitled to receive any shares of the Company other than shares of Class A Stock, thereafter the number of other shares receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the Class A Stock.
(b) Reclassification. If any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, by merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise, is effected so that holders of Class A Stock are entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets or property, then, as a condition of the reclassification, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of Class A Stock purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the reclassification) the shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of Class A Stock equal to the number of shares of Class A Stock purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the reclassification. If the Company is acquired in an all cash transaction, the Holder shall have the right to receive cash equal to the value of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the closing of the transaction reduced by the aggregate Stock Purchase Price. In any reclassification described above, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder so that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Stock Purchase Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall continue to apply in relation to any shares of stock, or other securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.
(c) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Class A Stock for no consideration (w) evidences of its indebtedness, (x) any security (other than a distribution of Class A Stock covered by the preceding paragraphs), (y) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (z) any other asset, including cash (in each case, “Distributed Property”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to receive the distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares, the Distributed Property that the Holder would have been entitled to receive if the Holder been the record holder of the Warrant Shares immediately prior to the record date.
(d) Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Stock Purchase Price or any increase or decrease in the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall give notice to the Holder. The notice shall state the Stock Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which the calculation is based.
(e) Other Notices. If at any time: (1) the Company declares any cash dividend upon its shares of Class A Stock; (2) there is any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company; (3) the Company is acquired in an all cash transaction; or (4) there is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, then the Company notice to the Holder (a) at least ten days prior to the date on which the books of the Company will close, or the record date for the dividend, cash payment or for determining rights to vote in respect of any the reorganization or reclassification, and (b) if a reorganization or reclassification, at least ten days prior to the date when the same shall take place.
5. No Voting or Dividend Rights. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to consent to receive notice as a stockholder of the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of this Warrant.

The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of the tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that the tax has been paid.
8. Lost or Mutilated Warrants.
