SECTION 1. EXERCISE.
1.1
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time after July 27, 2017 and prior to the Expiration Date, exercise this Warrant, in whole, or from time to time in part, but not for less than 500,000 Shares and not as to a fractional share, by delivering to the Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 (the date on which such Notice of Exercise is delivered, the "Exercise Date"; provided, however, that if such Notice of Exercise is delivered after 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on a Business Day (as defined below) or is delivered on a day that is not a Business Day, the Exercise Date will be the next succeeding Business Day). If this Warrant is exercised in respect of less than all of the Shares exercisable under the Warrant at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the remaining Shares exercisable under the Warrant may be delivered to the Holder by the Company. This Warrant or any part thereof surrendered in exercise of th rights thereby evidences shall thereupon be cancelled by the Company and retires
The Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by means of a "cashless exercise" in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a "cashless exercise," as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;
(B) = the Warrant Strike Price, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the number of Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
"VWAP" means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as displayed under the heading of "Bloomberg VWAP" on Bloomberg page "FSAM <Equity> AQR" for each Trading Day during the 10 consecutive Trading Day Period immediately preceding the Exercise Date (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the "Pink Sheets" published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company. "Trading Market" means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE MKT, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board (or any successors to any of the foregoing).
1.2 Lock-Up Period. All Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant are subject to the terms of Section 5.1, "Lock-Up Period," of the Stock Purchase Agreement.
1.3 Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like term, tenor and amount.
Exh 10.3 Page 2
1.4 Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.
(a) Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, "Acquisition" means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a person or group of persons acting together; or (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity.
(b) Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Company's stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities (as defined below) or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a "Cash/Public Acquisition"), then, if immediately prior to the closing of the Cash/Public Acquisition, the price per Share of Company Common Stock, which shall be the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average prices per Share as displayed under the heading of "Bloomberg VWAP" on Bloomberg page "FSAM <Equity> AQR" for each Trading Day during the 20 consecutive Trading Day Period immediately preceding the Exercise Date, would be greater than the Warrant Strike Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall, automatically and without further action on the part of any party or other person, be deemed, as of immediately prior to the closing of such Cash/Public Acquisition, to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.1 on a cashless basis, and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the amount of cash and/or the number of Shares (or other securities) issued upon such exercise to the Holder in connection with the Cash/Public Acquisition.
(c) Notice. The Company shall provide Holder with written notice of the Cash/Public Acquisition (together with such reasonable information as Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such contemplated Cash/Public Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than ten (10) Business Days following the execution of the definitive transaction agreement in connection with the proposed Cash/Public Acquisition.
(d) Assumption of Obligations. Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition where the Warrant is automatically exercised pursuant to Section 1.4(b) above, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity (if other than the Company) shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and, in the case of any Acquisition where the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive cash, securities or other property ("Reference Property") for their shares of Common Stock, all references to "Shares" in this Warrant shall instead be to the type and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would receive in such Acquisition, subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant (it being understood that no such further adjustments will be required with respect to any portion of the Reference Property that does not consist of equity securities). For purposes of the foregoing, the type and amount of consideration that holders of Common Stock are entitled to in the case of events that cause Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration because holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the type of consideration they receive will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. The provisions of this Section 1.4(d) shall similarly apply to successive Acquisitions.
(e) Definition of Marketable Securities. As used in this Warrant, "Marketable Securities" means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; and (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded in a Trading Market.

2.1 Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock, payable in Common Stock, or subdivides the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the Number of Shares shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Strike Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Strike Price shall be proportionately increased and the Number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations, Substitution or Replacement. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

Holder has the requisite corporate power to enter into the Warrant and to carry out and perform its obligations thereunder. The Warrant, when executed and delivered by Holder, shall be duly authorized, executed and delivered and, upon due execution and delivery by the Company. The Warrant will be a valid and binding agreement of Holder, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles.
4.3 No Conflicts. Neither the execution, delivery nor performance of the Warrant, nor the consummation by Holder of the transactions contemplated by the Warrant will result in any violation of, be in conflict with, cause any acceleration or any increased payments under, or constitute a default under, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice: (a) any provision of Holder's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Holder's Bylaws, each as in effect on the date hereof or at the Closing; (b) any provision of any judgment, decree or order to which Holder is a party or by which it is bound; or (c) any note, mortgage, material contract, material agreement, license, waiver, exemption, order or permit, except in the case of subsections (b) and (c) as would not have had, or reasonably would be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the on the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of Holder and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
4.4 Ownership. Other than the Shares of Common Stock to be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant and the Shares of Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, none of Holder nor any of its Affiliates, nor any "group" of persons (as such term is used in and construed under Sections 13d-3 and 14d-2 of the Exchange Act) owns any shares or other securities of the Company or any direct or indirect rights or options to acquire any such securities or any securities convertible into such securities or has any rights to acquire such securities, or has established or increased, directly or indirectly, a put equivalent position, as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act, with respect to the Company's equity securities.

Exh 10.3 Page 5
4.5 Investment Representations. In connection with the offer and delivery of this Warrant and the acquisition of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, Holder makes the following representations:
(a) Purchase for Own Account. Holder is acquiring the Warrant and Shares of Common Stock for its own account, not as nominee or agent, for investment and not for, with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Act. Holder does not presently have any contract, undertaking or agreement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation rights to such person or to any other person with respect to the Warrant or any of the Shares of Common Stock acquired by Holder hereunder. Holder has not been organized solely for purposes of acquiring the Warrant or the shares of Common Stock.
(b) Restricted Securities. Holder understands that the Warrant and the Shares of Common Stock to be acquired upon the exercise of the Warrant are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Holder's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Holder set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Holder to acquire the Warrant and Shares of Common Stock. Holder understands that the Shares of Common Stock, when issued, shall be "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws the Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Consequently, Holder may have to bear the risk of owning the shares for an indefinite period of time. Holder is familiar with Rule 144 as presently in effect.
(c) Holder Status. At the time Holder was offered this Warrant, it was, and as of the date of this Warrant is, an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated under the Securities Act.
(d) Knowledge and Experience of Holder. Holder has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares of Common Stock to be acquired upon exercise of the Warrant, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Holder has had the opportunity to review the Company's documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Company concerning the Company, including its financial condition, results of operation and prospects, and the terms and conditions of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment. Holder has received all of the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Shares to be acquired upon any exercise of the Warrant. Holder understands that its acquisition of any Shares issuable upon the exercise thereto involves a significant degree of risk. Holder understands that the market price of the Common Stock has been volatile and that no representation is being made as to the future value of the Common Stock. Holder is able to bear the economic risk of acquiring the Shares of Common Stock to be acquired upon exercise of the Warrant, and is able to afford a complete loss of such acquisition.
Exh 10.3 Page 6
(e) Legend. Holder understands that, until such time as a registration statement has been declared effective or the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the certificates evidencing the Shares of Company Common Stock will bear with one or all of the following restrictive legends:
(i) | THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, HEDGED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER AND THE TRANSFER AGENT, SUCH OFFER, SALE, HEDGE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION; |
(ii) | any legend required by the securities laws of any state. |
4.6 The Act. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder's investment intent as expressed herein. Holder understands that any Shares issued upon any exercise hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available. Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144.
4.7 No Voting Rights. Holder, as a Holder of this Warrant, will not have any voting rights until the exercise of this Warrant, to the extent the Holder receives Common Stock upon such exercise.
4.8 Affiliate Status. Holder is not an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company and has not been an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company within the three months immediately preceding the issuance of this Warrant.
4.9 No Other Representations and Warranties. Holder acknowledges that, except as set forth in Section 3, neither the Company nor any director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the Company makes any representation or warranty, either express or implied, concerning the shares of Common Stock or the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. Nothing in this Section 4.9 will affect the representations and warranties in the Stock Purchase Agreement or that certain Exclusive License Agreement of even date herewith.

5.1 Term. This Warrant is exercisable at any time and from time to time on or before 5:00 PM, Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date and shall be void thereafter.
5.2 Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer. This Warrant and the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, if any (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) may not be offered, sold, hedged, pledged or otherwise transferred in whole or in part except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by all parties to such offer, sale, hedge, pledge or other transfer (including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company).
5.3 Transfer of Warrant. Without the express prior written consent of the Company, the Holder may not Transfer this Warrant to any Person other than to an Affiliate or in connection with the Transfer of Registrable Securities not prohibited under the Stock Purchase Agreement. Any Transfer in violation of this Section 5.3 shall be void and of no force or effect. In the event that the Company consents to any Transfer requested by the Holder to any Person (a "Proposed Transferee"), such Transfer shall be conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such Transfer to a Proposed Transferee would not result in a violation of the provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Each Holder of this Warrant and any Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents to and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.3, and to the execution of an Assignment substantially in the form of Appendix 2. For the purposes of this Section 5.3, the term "Transfer" shall mean to dispose of or part with all or any portion of an interest (legal or equitable) by any means, direct or indirect, absolute or conditional, voluntary or involuntary, including, but not limited to, by sale, assignment, disposition, court order, operation of law, dissolution, merger, consolidation, division, spin-off, dividend, distribution, equitable or other distribution after divorce or separation, settlement, exchange, waiver, abandonment, gift, alienation, bequest, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or disposal.
5.4 Transfer Tax. Holder will pay any applicable transfer, stamp and other similar taxes that may be imposed in respect of the issuance of this Warrant or in respect of the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.
5.5 Beneficial Ownership.
