If the Securities in the Financing include warrants, the Network 1 Warrants shall have the same terms, including exercise price and registration rights (but including exercise period only if longer than 5 years), as warrants issued in the Financing, except as provided below. However, if the Securities in the Financing do not include warrants, then the Network 1 Warrants shall have an exercise price equal to 110% of the closing price of the day of closing the placement.
