(a) If the Company at any time subdivides the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced; and conversely, if the Company at any time combines the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price, Holder will thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(b) If at any time or from time to time the holders of the Company’s Common Stock or Preferred Stock (or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) receive or become entitled to receive, without payment therefore:
(i) | any shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock, Common Stock or any other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution; |
(ii) | any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a regular periodic cash dividend at a rate which is substantially consistent with past practice (or, in the case of an initial dividend, at a rate which is substantially consistent with industry practice); or |
(iii) | any preferred stock, Common Stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued as a subdivision of the Company’s Common Stock, adjustments in respect of which will be covered by the terms of Section 5(a) above), |
then and in each such case, Warrant Holder will, upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to this Section 5(b) in which cash would be paid or payable) which Warrant Holder would have held on the date of such exercise or conversion had he or it been the holder of record of such Common Stock or preferred stock as of the date on which holders of the Company’s Common Stock or preferred stock received or became entitled to receive such shares and/or all other additional stock and other securities and property.

In any such case, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Warrant Holder) with respect to Warrant Holder’s rights and interests to ensure that the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable to the Warrant, including, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment of the Exercise Price to the per share value for the Common Stock or other security, if applicable, assigned or reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock or equivalent security of the surviving entity acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Warrant Holder), the obligation to deliver to Warrant Holder such shares, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Warrant Holder may be entitled to acquire.
6. Fractional Shares.
The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.
