Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth under Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Convertible Notes (as defined therein), the Placement Agent Notes (as defined therein), and the Replacement Placement Agent Notes (as defined therein) is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed on March 31, 2022 (the “2021 Report”), and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed on March 24, 2023 (the “2022 Report” and together with the 2021 Report, the “Prior Reports”), in May 2021, as modified on December 10, 2021, Marizyme, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an exclusive Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Univest Securities, LLC (“Univest”) pursuant to which Univest agreed to act as the Company’s exclusive placement agent for a private placement (the “Units Private Placement”) of up to $18,000,000 in units which, subsequent to certain modifications of the terms of such private placement, consisted of 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (each, a “Convertible Note” and collectively, “Convertible Notes”), initially convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.75 per share, subject to adjustment, and Class C Common Stock Purchase Warrants (each, a “Class C Warrant” and collectively, “Class C Warrants”), initially exercisable for shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share, subject to adjustment. On January 24, 2022, the Company issued each of Univest and its designee, Bradley Richmond (“Mr. Richmond”), as a registered representative of Univest entitled to a portion of Univest’s compensation due to his employment terms, a Convertible Note in the principal amount of $120,000 and $180,000, respectively (collectively, the “Placement Agent Notes”), and a Class C Warrant for the purchase of 137,142 and 205,714 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment, respectively, in exchange for Univest’s and Mr. Richmond’s services provided to the Company in connection with the Company’s acquisition of My Health Logic Inc. (collectively, the “Placement Agent Class C Warrants”). In addition, as previously reported in the 2022 Report, on June 26, 2022, pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, in anticipation of the final closing of the Units Private Placement, in exchange for $100, the Company issued Univest a warrant for the purchase of 231,239 shares of common stock, and a warrant to Mr. Richmond, as a registered representative of Univest who is entitled to a portion of Univest’s compensation due to his employment terms, for the purchase of 347,039 shares of common stock (the “2022 Placement Agent Warrants”), each of which was initially exercisable at $1.75 per share, subject to adjustment.

Separately, as previously reported in the Prior Reports, on January 26, 2022 and February 14, 2022, the Company granted Mr. Richmond two warrants (the “Consultant Warrants”) to purchase up to 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share as compensation for certain services. Mr. Richmond fully exercised both of the Consultant Warrants for 300,000 shares of common stock in March 2022 (the “Consultant Shares” and together with the Placement Agent Notes, the Placement Agent Class C Warrants, and the 2022 Placement Agent Warrants, the “Cancelled Securities”).

On February 14, 2022, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1, which was subsequently amended on certain dates (the “Withdrawn Registration Statement”), relating to the Company’s proposed underwritten public offering (the “Offering”). Univest was named as the representative of the underwriters of the Offering. As previously reported in the 2022 Report, the staff (“FINRA Staff”) of the Corporate Financing Department of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) determined that the sales of the Placement Agent Notes, the Placement Agent Class C Warrants, the 2022 Placement Agent Warrants, the Consultant Shares, as well as a grant of a stock option to Mr. Richmond constituted underwriting compensation in connection with the Company’s proposed public offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, based on the FINRA Staff’s interpretation of such rule. Consequently, each of Univest and Mr. Richmond, pursuant to a letter agreement entered into with the Company, dated October 28, 2022, addressed and submitted to the FINRA Staff (the “October 2022 Letter Agreement”), agreed to forego their applicable rights to these securities. Pursuant to the October 2022 Letter Agreement, the parties thereto agreed that the cancellation or disposal of the aforementioned securities shall be without recourse by either Univest or Mr. Richmond. Accordingly, the Placement Agent Notes, the Placement Agent Class C Warrants, the 2022 Placement Agent Warrants, and the Consultant Shares were subsequently cancelled, and the Company and Mr. Richmond agreed to the transfer of his stock option to a Company designee who is unaffiliated with Mr. Richmond.

As previously reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 20, 2023, on April 13, 2023, the Company delivered offer letter agreements (the “Somahlution Warrant Offer Letter Agreements”) to the holders of warrants (the “Somahlution Warrants”) issued in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Somahlution, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the assets of its affiliates (the “Somahlution Warrant Holders”). The Somahlution Warrant Offer Letter Agreements offered to allow the Somahlution Warrant Holders to exercise the Somahlution Warrants to purchase the number of restricted shares of common stock issuable under their Somahlution Warrants at an exercise price reduced by the Company from $5.00 per share to $0.10 per share, on or prior to April 21, 2023, for maximum total cash proceeds of $299,995.50. Four of the Somahlution Warrant Holders entered into Somahlution Warrant Offer Letter Agreements and exercised their Somahlution Warrants to purchase a total of 2,652,159 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $265,216 the (the “Somahlution Warrant Exercise”). Univest, as the Company’s placement agent, which facilitated the Somahlution Warrant Exercise, waived any fees or reimbursable expenses that would otherwise have been payable with respect to the Somahlution Warrant Exercise pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement.

The Convertible Notes and the Class C Warrants provide, and the Placement Agent Notes, the Placement Agent Class C Warrants, and the 2022 Placement Agent Warrants provided prior to their cancellation, that a lower price per share or more favorable terms under certain subsequent equity issuances will be or would have been applicable to the conversion or exercise rights under the 10% Convertible Notes, the Class C Warrants, and the 2022 Placement Agent Warrants, respectively. In addition, under a Letter Agreement between the Company and Univest as placement agent for the investors in the Units Private Placement, dated January 12, 2023 (the “Univest Letter Agreement”), the parties agreed that simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price (as defined in each of the Class C Warrants) under the Class C Warrants as a result of certain equity issuances, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased under the Class C Warrants will be increased such that the Aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in each of the Class C Warrants) of such shares will be the same as the Aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment, without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the Class C Warrants, including any beneficial ownership limitation. The Univest Letter Agreement did not expressly apply to the Placement Agent Class C Warrants or the 2022 Placement Agent Warrants, which had previously been cancelled as described above.

As a result of the Somahlution Warrant Exercise and pursuant to the adjustment provisions described above, the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and the exercise price of the Class C Warrants were both adjusted to $0.10 per share of common stock. As a result of these adjustment provisions and the conversion or exercise terms of the Convertible Notes and Class C Warrants, the aggregate number of shares into which the Convertible Notes may be converted or the Class C Warrants may be exercised to purchase adjusted upwards proportionately.

On April 21, 2023, prior to the effectiveness of the Withdrawn Registration Statement, the Company filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the withdrawal of the Withdrawn Registration Statement, including all amendments and exhibits to the Withdrawn Registration Statement. The application for withdrawal stated that the Company did “not intend to pursue the contemplated public offering at this time”. Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the application was deemed granted at the time the application was filed, because it was filed before the effective date of the Withdrawn Registration Statement, and the Commission did not notify the Company that the application for withdrawal would not be granted within 15 calendar days after the Company had filed the application.

On June 22, 2023, Univest and Mr. Richmond requested through counsel that the Company either reissue the Cancelled Securities or issue them new securities with equivalent terms and conditions, in light of the fact that the Company was not proceeding with the Offering. On July 16, 2023, Univest and Mr. Richmond communicated through counsel that they believed that the Cancelled Securities should be reissued as if they were never canceled, meaning that they should have all of the adjusted terms that may have applied to the Cancelled Securities had they not been cancelled.

Pursuant to these requests, on July 25, 2023, the Company approved the grant of the following securities to Univest and Mr. Richmond: (i) Convertible Notes (the “Replacement Placement Agent Notes”) with terms and conditions equivalent to or at least as favorable as those that would have applied to each of the respective Placement Agent Notes, such that, among other adjustments, the principal and any accrued interest under the Replacement Placement Agent Notes is convertible into shares of common stock at $0.10 per share, subject to adjustment, reflecting adjustments to their terms equivalent to those that applied to the Convertible Notes as a result of the Somahlution Warrant Exercise, and with principal increased to reflect the amount of interest that would have been incurred under the respective Placement Agent Notes up to the date of issuance, such that the adjusted principal under the Replacement Placement Agent Notes is $137,983.56 and $206,975.34, respectively, being the original principal under the Placement Agent Notes plus pre-issuance interest that would have accrued since the date of the issuance of the Placement Agent Notes as of July 25, 2023, maturing on July 25, 2025, such that up to 1,683,131 and 2,524,697 shares of common stock are issuable upon conversion thereof if held to maturity, subject to adjustment, without regard to any beneficial ownership limitation or any other conversion limitations or restrictions therein or conversion rights waivers applicable thereto; (ii) Class C Warrants (the “Replacement Placement Agent Class C Warrants”) with terms and conditions equivalent to or at least as favorable as those that would have applied to each of the respective Placement Agent Class C Warrants, reflecting adjustments to their terms equivalent to those that applied to the Class C Warrants as a result of the Somahlution Warrant Exercise such that the exercise price per share of the Replacement Class C Warrants is $0.10 per share, subject to adjustment, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each of the Replacement Class C Warrants reflecting a proportional increase relative to the number of shares issuable under the respective Placement Agent Class C Warrants equivalent to the difference between the exercise price per share of the Placement Agent Class C Warrants and the exercise price of such Replacement Class C Warrants, such that up to 3,548,148 and 5,322,223 shares of common stock, respectively, are issuable upon exercise thereof, subject to adjustment, without regard to any beneficial ownership limitation or any other exercise limitations or restrictions therein or exercise rights waivers applicable thereto; (iii) Placement Agent Warrants (the “Replacement Placement Agent Warrants”) with terms and conditions equivalent to or at least as favorable as those that would have applied to those that applied to each of the respective 2022 Placement Agent Warrants, reflecting adjustments to their terms equivalent to those that applied to the Class C Warrants as a result of the Somahlution Warrant Exercise such that the exercise price per share of the Replacement Placement Agent Warrants is $0.10 per share, subject to adjustment, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each of the Replacement Placement Agent Warrants reflecting a proportional increase relative to the number of shares issuable under the respective 2022 Placement Agent Warrants equivalent to the difference between the exercise price per share of the 2022 Placement Agent Warrants and the exercise price of the Replacement Placement Agent Warrants, such that up to 4,048,782 and 6,073,182 shares of common stock, respectively, are issuable upon exercise thereof, subject to adjustment, without regard to any beneficial ownership limitation or any other exercise limitations or restrictions therein or exercise rights waivers applicable thereto; and (iv) 300,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Richmond, being the same number of shares as the Consultant Shares (the “Replacement Consultant Shares” and together with the Replacement Placement Agent Notes, the Replacement Placement Agent Class C Warrants, and Replacement Placement Agent Warrants, the “Replacement Placement Agent and Consultant Securities”). In connection with these grants, each of Univest and Mr. Richmond agreed to waivers of any registration rights that would have been applicable to each of the Replacement Placement Agent Notes, the Replacement Placement Agent Class C Warrants, and the Replacement Placement Agent Warrants.

As previously reported in the Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on July 31, 2023, each of the Convertible Notes provides that any default on indebtedness of more than $100,000, other than indebtedness under the respective Convertible Notes, will also result in default under the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes provide that such default is not subject to any cure period. Due to the non-repayment of the initial principal amount of $1,000,000 under an Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note issued to Walleye Opportunities Master Fund Ltd by the maturity date, or May 7, 2023, on the same date the Company defaulted under the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes provide that due to this default, the Company became obligated to pay 135% of the outstanding principal amount under each of the Convertible Notes on the date on which the default occurred (the “Mandatory Default Amount”). The Mandatory Default Amount may be declared due by each holder immediately. Assuming that this default would have applied to the Placement Agent Notes if they had not been cancelled, and assuming that each of the Replacement Placement Agent Notes are also subject to immediate payment of the applicable Mandatory Default Amount, the aggregate Mandatory Default Amount that may be due under the Replacement Placement Agent Notes would be $456,929, or approximately $0.1 million more than would otherwise have been due under the Placement Agent Notes on the date of the default had they been outstanding on that date.

Under the Unit Purchase Agreement entered into on May 27, 2021 with certain holders of several of the Convertible Notes, each of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a guaranty to guarantee the repayment of the Company’s obligations under the Convertible Notes, and the Company and its subsidiaries entered into security agreements granting security interests in all of their respective assets for up to the dollar value owed under the respective Convertible Notes. The respective Convertible Notes were issued for aggregate principal of approximately $1.2 million. Under each Unit Purchase Agreement entered into with respect to subsequent issuances of the Convertible Notes, including the Unit Purchase Agreement entered into with each of Univest and Mr. Richmond in connection with the issuance of the Placement Agent Notes, the Company and its subsidiaries were obligated to enter into similar security agreements and guaranties, but did not do so.

Univest and Mr. Richmond have not exercised any remedies applicable to the Replacement Placement Agent Notes as of the date of this report. In the event that the balance owed under the Replacement Placement Agent Notes, including the respective Mandatory Default Amount, is not repaid upon demand, Univest and Mr. Richmond may seek to take possession of some or all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets, force the Company and its subsidiaries into bankruptcy proceeds, or seek other legal remedies against the Company and its subsidiaries. In such event, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

The sale of the Replacement Placement Agent and Consultant Securities described above was conducted as a private placement pursuant to and in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”) for transactions not involving a public offering.

Exhibit 4.1

THIS WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Unit Purchase Agreement dated January 24, 2022 by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”). Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance and agreement to all of the terms contained herein.

No. 81

MARIZYME, INC.

Class C COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

Marizyme, Inc., a Nevada corporation (together with any corporation which shall succeed to or assume the obligations of Marizyme, Inc. hereunder, the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, Univest Securities, LLC, an entity (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company at any time during the Exercise Period (as defined in Section 9) up to Three Million Five Hundred Forty-Eight Thousand One Hundred Forty-Eight (3,548,148) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 9), at a purchase price per share equal to the Exercise Price (as defined in Section 9). The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Class C Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this “Warrant”) is exercisable and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein.

1.	DEFINITIONS. Certain terms are used in this Warrant as specifically defined in Section 9.

2.	EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

2.1. Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised prior to its expiration pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof by the Holder at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, by submitting the form of subscription attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”) duly executed by the Holder, to the Company at its principal office, indicating whether the Holder is electing to purchase a specified number of shares by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price as provided in Section 2.2 or is electing to exercise this Warrant as to a specified number of shares pursuant to the net exercise provisions of Section 2.3. On or before the first Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgement of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice. Subject to Section 2.4, this Warrant shall be deemed exercised for all purposes as of the close of business on the day on which the Holder has delivered the Exercise Notice to the Company. The Aggregate Exercise Price, if any, shall be paid by wire transfer to the Company within five (5) Business Days of the date of exercise and prior to the time the Company issues the certificates evidencing the shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event this Warrant is not exercised in full, the Company may, at its expense, require the Holder, after such partial exercise, to promptly return this Warrant to the Company and the Company will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) for which this Warrant shall have been exercised.

2.2. Payment of Exercise Price by Wire Transfer. If the Holder elects to purchase a specified number of shares by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Holder shall pay such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Company in its acknowledgement of receipt of such Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 2.1.

2.3. Net Exercise. If a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Notice of Exercise (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares to the public or upon exercise of this Warrant in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, the Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant by receiving shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares determined pursuant to the following formula:

X = Y (A - B)

	where,

	X =	the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder;
	Y =	the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is to be exercised (as indicated on the Exercise Notice);
	A =	VWAP for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of exercise; and
	B =	the Exercise Price.

2.4. Antitrust Notification. If the Holder determines, in its sole judgment upon the advice of counsel, that the issuance of any Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms hereof would be subject to the provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), the Company shall file as soon as practicable after the date on which the Company receives notice from the Holder of the applicability of the HSR Act and a request to so file with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice the notification and report form required to be filed by it pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with such issuance.

2.5. Termination. This Warrant shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) exercise in full or (ii) the expiration of the Exercise Period.

2.6 Company Exercise. At any time following the sixty (60) day anniversary of the final Closing Date or termination of the Offering, if (i) the Company is listed on a Trading Market that is a senior exchange such as The NASDAQ Global Market, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Capital Market, or the New York Stock Exchange, (ii) the Warrant Shares are registered, which registration is and remains effective, or the Holder otherwise has the ability to trade the Warrant Shares without restriction, (iii) the daily VWAP for the prior twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days is $6.00 or more (adjusted for splits and similar distributions) and (iv) the daily trading volume is at least $1,000,000 during such twenty (20)-day period (the events set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, collectively, the “Conditions”), then the Company can demand, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice that the Holder exercise this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof and subject to the limitations of Section 10, as long as the Conditions remain in effect. The exercise referenced in this Section 2.6 shall be at the Exercise Price, including any Exercise Price modified pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 hereof (exclusive of Section 5.4). For the avoidance of doubt, in no instance may the Company demand an exercise under this Section 2.6 if there is no effective registration statement covering the shares underlying the Warrant.

- 2 -

3. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Holder’s registration rights are set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

4. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE.

4.1. Delivery of Exercise Shares. As soon as practicable after any exercise of this Warrant and in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereafter (such date, the “Exercise Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall, at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue or stamp taxes), cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (which number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share in the event any fractional share may otherwise be issuable upon such exercise and the Company shall pay a cash adjustment to the Holder in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant, provided the Warrant Shares are not restricted securities and the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program or a similar program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee). If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $5 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

4.2. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Exercise Shares. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder Exercise Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Exercise Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Exercise Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (a) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (b) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

- 3 -

4.3. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Exercise Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Exercise Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event Exercise Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto (the “Assignment Form”) duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

5. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENT.

5.1. Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (a) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (b) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

5.2 Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the beneficial ownership limitation provided for in Section 10, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the beneficial ownership limitation).

- 4 -

5.3 Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (a) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (b) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (c) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (d) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon the closing of a Fundamental Transaction and payment of the exercise price therefore (including at the election of the Holder by cashless exercise), the Holder shall receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon exercise of this Warrant upon the closing of such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange, in each case, into another security of the Company, this Warrant shall remain outstanding and the Holder shall be entitled to receive the Alternative Consideration upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant and the payment of the exercise price therefor. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.3.

5.4 Adjustment to Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time after the Issue Date, other than pursuant to a Qualified Financing, issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (other than Exempted Securities), whether directly or indirectly by way of Convertible Securities or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Convertible Securities (“Additional Shares of Common Stock”), with any term that the Holder reasonably believes is more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that the Holder reasonably believes was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Warrant, then (i) the Holder, after receipt of written notice thereof from the Company, shall notify the Company of such additional or more favorable term within five (5) Business Days of the issuance or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security or, if later, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the previously described notice, and (ii) such term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of this Warrant (regardless of whether the Company or Holder complied with the notification provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion or exercise discounts, conversion or exercise lookback periods, and discounts to the effective price per share of a Qualified Financing. If Holder elects to have the term become a part of this Warrant, then the Company shall immediately deliver acknowledgment of such adjustment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder (the “Acknowledgment”) within five (5) Business Days of Company’s receipt of request from Holder (the “Adjustment Deadline”), provided that Company’s failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.

- 5 -

5.5 Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding at the close of the Trading Day on or, if not applicable, most recently preceding, such given date.

5.6 Notice to Holder.

(a) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(b) Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or (v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. Subject to applicable law, the Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of the notice described in this Section 5.6 is not intended to and shall not bestow upon the Holder any voting rights whatsoever with respect to outstanding unexercised Warrants.

6. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise and (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of stock on the exercise of this Warrant from time to time outstanding.

- 6 -

7. NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of:

(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;

(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person or any other Change of Control; or

Such notice shall be mailed at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken.

8. RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF WARRANT; REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.

8.1. Reservation of Stock Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company shall at all times while this Warrant shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of all or any portion of the Warrant Shares (disregarding for this purpose any and all limitations of any kind on such exercise). The Company shall, from time to time in accordance with Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or take other effective action if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s obligations under this Section 8.

8.2. Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of exercise of the Warrant Shares require registration or listing with or approval of any Governmental Authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

8.3. Stockholder Approval. The Company shall not be required to issue any Warrant Shares if such issuance would cause the Company to be required to obtain the Stockholder Approval either pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market or otherwise until such Stockholder Approval has been obtained.

10. LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock or other securities (together with Common Stock, “Equity Interests”) upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the exercise of the Warrant prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity Interests owed to the Holder following exercise of this Warrant is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent limitations contained in this Section 10 apply, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to constitute the Holder’s determination that the issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in the Exercise Notice is permitted hereunder, and neither the Company nor any Warrant agent shall have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 10, (i) the term “Maximum Percentage” shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class of Equity Interests in the Company that is registered under the Exchange Act (excluding any Equity Interests deemed beneficially owned by virtue of this Warrant or the Note), then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests); and (ii) the term “Holder Group” shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the Exchange Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the Exchange Act. In determining the number of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests of such class as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding. Anything herein to the contrary, any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this Section 10 shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.

- 10 -

All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Exercise Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

12. LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Exercise Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

- 11 -

13. REMEDIES. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the Holder in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.

14. NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Exercise Shares.

15. NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other communications that are required or may be given pursuant to the terms of this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) on the date of delivery when delivered by hand on a Business Day during normal business hours or, if delivered on a day that is not a Business Day or after normal business hours, then on the next Business Day, (ii) on the date of transmission when sent by facsimile transmission or email during normal business hours on a Business Day with telephone confirmation of receipt or, if transmitted on a day that is not a Business Day or after normal business hours, then on the next Business Day, or (iii) on the second Business Day after the date of dispatch when sent by a reputable courier service that maintains records of receipt.

Any term of this Warrant may be amended, and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or compliance therewith may be waived, only if the Company shall have obtained the written consent (and not without such written consent) to such amendment, action or waiver from the Holder. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of the Holder.

17. MISCELLANEOUS. In case any provision of this Warrant shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, or partially invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the provision shall be enforced to the extent, if any, that it may legally be enforced and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Warrant is found to conflict with the Purchase Agreement, the provisions of this Warrant shall prevail. If any provision of this Warrant is found to conflict with the Note, the provisions of the Note shall prevail. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.
