For purposes of Section 1.2, if the Shares are traded in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking or public accounting firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.

The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly.
1.7.3 Purchase Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of Holder, the Company shall purchase the unexercised portion of this Warrant for cash upon the closing of any Acquisition for an amount equal to (a) the fair market value of any consideration that would have been received by Holder in consideration of the Shares had Holder exercised the unexercised portion of this Warrant immediately before the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to participate in the proceeds of the Acquisition, less (b) the aggregate Warrant Price of the Shares, but in no event less than zero.
1.8 Expiry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrant shall expire on the Second Anniversary of this Warrant.
ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

If the Company at any time after the issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionally reduced. Conversely, if the Company combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionally increased.
2.2 Issuances Below Exercise Price. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, issues or sells any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a price per share lower than the then-current Exercise Price, the Exercise Price shall not be adjusted, unless such issuance is part of a stock split or subdivision as outlined above. This provision shall not apply to Exempt Issuances, which include (i) shares issued pursuant to employee stock plans, (ii) shares issued as part of strategic partnerships, or (iii) shares issued pursuant to this Warrant.
2.3 No Adjustment for Issuances at Market Price. No adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price for issuances of Common Stock or other securities at or above the market price of the Common Stock as of the date of such issuance.
2.4 No Dilutive Protection for Future Offerings. The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant does not include anti-dilution protection for future equity offerings, except as set forth in this Section. The Company may issue additional shares of Common Stock or other securities without triggering adjustments to the Exercise Price, except in the case of stock splits, subdivisions, or combinations as provided herein.
2.5 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a 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 to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that the aggregate Warrant price of this Warrant is unchanged.
