Section
5 Adjustment of the
Exercise Price
The
Exercise Price and, accordingly, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon
the happening of certain events as follows:
(a) Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger; Mandatory Share Exchange; Sale Transfer or Lease of
Assets. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
unexpired and not exercised in full, (i) reclassifies or changes its Outstanding
Capital Shares (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value per share, or from no par value per share to par value or as a result of a
subdivision or combination of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant) or (ii) consolidates, merges or effects a mandatory share exchange
with another corporation (other than a merger or mandatory share exchange with
another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and that
does not result in any reclassification or change, other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value per share, or from no par value per
share to par value, or (iii) sells, transfers or leases all or substantially all
of its assets, then in any such event the Company, or such successor or
purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall, without payment by the
Warrant Holder of any additional consideration therefor, amend this Warrant or
issue a new Warrant providing that the Warrant Holder shall have rights not less
favorable to the Warrant Holder than those then applicable to this Warrant and
to receive upon exercise under such amendment of this Warrant or new Warrant, in
lieu of each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant hereunder, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities,
money or property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, mandatory share exchange, lease, sale or transfer by the holder of one
share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant had the Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, mandatory share exchange or sale or transfer, and an appropriate
provision for the foregoing shall be made by the Company as part of any such
event. Such amended Warrant or new Warrant shall provide for
adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 5. The provisions of this
Section 5(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes,
consolidations, mergers, mandatory share exchanges, sales, transfers and
leases.
(b) Subdivision or Combination
of Shares; Stock Dividends. If the Company, at any time while
this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, shall (x) subdivide its
Common Stock, (y) combine its Common Stock or (z) pay a dividend or other
distribution in its Capital Shares, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted,
as of the date the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Capital
Shares for the purpose of effecting such subdivision, combination or dividend or
other distribution (or if no such record is taken, as of the effective date of
such subdivision, combination, dividend or other distribution), to that price
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision, combination, dividend or other distribution by a
fraction:
-3-
(i) the
numerator of which shall be the total number of Outstanding Capital Shares
immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, dividend or other
distribution, and
(ii) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of Outstanding Capital Shares
immediately after such subdivision, combination, dividend or other
distribution. The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not apply
under any of the circumstances for which an adjustment is made pursuant to
Section 5(a).
(c) Liquidating Dividends,
etc. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
unexpired and not exercised in full, makes a distribution of its assets or
evidences of indebtedness to the holders of its Capital Shares as a dividend in
liquidation or by way of return of capital or other than as a dividend payable
out of earnings or surplus legally available for dividends under applicable law
or any distribution to such holders made in respect of the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets (other than under the circumstances
provided for in the foregoing subsections (a) and (b) while an exercise is
pending, then the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise
of the Warrant in addition to the Warrant Shares receivable in connection
therewith, and without payment of any consideration other than the Exercise
Price, an amount in cash equal to the value of such distribution per Capital
Share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that, on the record date for
such distribution, are issuable upon such exercise of the Warrant, and an
appropriate provision therefor shall be made by the Company as part of any such
distribution. No further adjustment shall be made following any event
that causes a subsequent adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares
issuable. The value of a distribution that is paid in other than cash
shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
(d) Adjustment of Number of
Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to
any provisions of this Section 5, the number of Warrant Shares issuable
hereunder at the option of the Warrant Holder shall be calculated, to the
nearest one hundredth of a whole share, multiplying the number of Warrant Shares
issuable prior to an adjustment by a fraction:
(i) the
numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price before any adjustment pursuant to
this Section 5; and
(ii) the
denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price after such
adjustment.
(e) Notice of Certain Actions;
Notice of Adjustments.
(i) In
the event the Company shall, at a time while the Warrant is unexpired and
outstanding, take any action pursuant to subsections (a) through (d) of this
Section 5 that may result in an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company
shall notify the Warrant Holder of such action 5 days in advance of its
effective date in order to afford to the Warrant Holder an opportunity to
exercise the Warrant prior to such action becoming effective.
(ii) Notice of
Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or number of Warrant
Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company shall
promptly deliver by facsimile, with the original delivered by express courier
service in accordance with Section 10 hereof, a certificate, which shall be
signed by the Company’s President or a Vice President and by its Treasurer or
Assistant Treasurer or its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, setting forth in
reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the
adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a
description of the basis on which the Company’s Board of Directors made any
determination hereunder), and the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
purchasable at that Exercise Price after giving effect to such
adjustment.

Section
6 No
Impairment
The
Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws 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 the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
to protect the rights of the Warrant Holder hereunder. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the
par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such
exercise, and (b) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid
and non-assessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.
Section
7 Rights as
Stockholder
Prior to exercise of this Warrant and except as provided in Section 5 hereof,
the Warrant Holder shall not be entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the
Company with respect to the Warrant Shares, including (without limitation) the
right to vote such shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon or
be notified of stockholder meetings. However, in the event of 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 (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, 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, the Company
shall mail to each Warrant Holder, at least ten days prior to the date specified
therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and
character of such dividend, distribution or right.
Section
8 Replacement of
Warrant
Upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of the Warrant and, in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction of the Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or
security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the
case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the
Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant
of like tenor.
