(a) Upon effectiveness of this Amendment consistent with Section 2.1 hereof, the Company shall issue Warrants to each Buyer exercisable for 10 shares of Common Stock per $100 of outstanding principal of the Notes held by such Buyer (as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto), which shall be exercisable for five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth within the Warrants (the “Additional Warrants”).
