Vertical asymptote at x=ln2.
Horizontal asymptote at y=4.

Explanation:

There exists vertical asymptotes at points that set the denominator to zero,
that is, when e^x-2=0 or when e^x=2 =>x=ln2.

Horizontal asymptotes occur at y=lim_(x->+-oo)[(4e^x)/(e^x-2)]=4

The graph of the function verifies this.
