Upon any such subdivision, consolidation, payment of a stock dividend or rights offering, the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of a Warrant and the exercise price of the Warrant will be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be.
5.2 In case of any reclassification of the capital of the Company, or in the case of the merger, reorganization or amalgamation of the Company with, or into any other company or of the sale of substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to any other company, each Warrant will, after such reclassification of capital, merger, amalgamation or sale, confer the right to purchase that number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the company resulting from such reclassification, merger, amalgamation, or to which such sale will be made, as the case may be, which the Holder would then hold if the Holder had exercised the Holder’s rights under the Warrant before reclassification of capital, merger, amalgamation or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Part 5 with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Part 5 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any Shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of a Warrant.
5.3 The adjustments provided for in this Part 5 are cumulative.
| 9 |
Determination of Adjustments
5.4 If any question will at any time arise with respect to any adjustments to be made under §5.1 and §5.2, such question will be conclusively determined by the Company’s auditor, or, if the Company’s auditor declines to so act, any other certified public accountant that the Company may designate (acting reasonably) and who will have access to all appropriate records, and such determination will be binding upon the Company and the Holder.
