2. Section 1(b) of the Tranche B Warrant is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
“(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $1.25, subject to adjustment as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the Issuance Date the Company consummates an equity financing for gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000, or the Company issues securities to any consultants, officers, directors, employees or third parties, for a price per share that is below the fair market value of the Common Stock as measured by the Closing Sale Price on the date of issuance, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to the lesser of (i) $1.25 and (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the purchase price per share of Common Stock payable by the investors in such subsequent equity financing.”
