(a) In the event of any issuance of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all holders of Common Stock, or a subdivision, split, combination or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price and the Maximum Spread shall be adjusted based on the following formulas:

where:

 

  E1

= the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on (i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;

 

  E0

= the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on (i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;

  S1

= the Maximum Spread in effect immediately after the Open of Business on (i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;

 

  S0

= the Maximum Spread in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on (i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification;

 

  N0

= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on (i) the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification; and

 

  N1

= the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) in the case of a dividend or distribution, the sum of the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution plus the total number of shares issued pursuant to such dividend or distribution or (ii) in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification, the number of shares outstanding immediately after such subdivision, combination or reclassification.

Such adjustment shall become effective (i) in the case of a dividend or distribution, immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) in the case of a subdivision, split, combination or reclassification, immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date for such subdivision, split, combination or reclassification. If any dividend or distribution or subdivision, split, combination or reclassification of the type described in this Section 8(a) is declared or announced but not made, the Exercise Price and the Maximum Spread shall again be adjusted to the Exercise Price and Maximum Spread, respectively, that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution or subdivision, split, combination or reclassification had not been declared or announced, as the case may be.

(b) In the event of (w) any or a subdivision, split, combination or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (x) any declaration or making of a dividend or other distribution to holders of Common Stock, (y) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, or (z) the entry into, or commitment by the Company to effect, any event described in clauses (a) or (b) of Section 8 (including a Change of Control or Reorganization), then the Company shall file with its corporate records and mail to the Holder at its last address as shown on the records of the Company, at least ten (10) days prior to the record or other date specified below, a notice stating:

(i) the record date of such split, dividend or other distribution, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such subdivision, split, combination or reclassification, dividend or other distribution are to be determined; or

 

14


(ii) the date on which such subdivision, reclassification, liquidation, dissolution, winding up, combination, event, transaction, Change of Control or Reorganization, is estimated to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for the capital stock, other securities or other property (including but not limited to cash and evidences of indebtedness) deliverable upon such subdivision, reclassification, liquidation, dissolution, winding up, combination, event, transaction, Change of Control or Reorganization.

(c) Concurrently with any adjustment to the Exercise Price under Section 8(a), the number of Warrant Shares will be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

LOGO

 

  WS1

= the number of Warrant Shares immediately following the adjustment to Exercise Price under Section 8(a);

 

  WS0

= the number of Warrant Shares immediately prior to the adjustment to Exercise Price under Section 8(a);

 

  E0

= the Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment under Section 8(a); and

 

  E1

= the Exercise Price immediately following the adjustment under Section 8(a).

(d) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price, Maximum Spread and number of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 8, the Company at its expense shall as promptly as reasonably practicable compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder a certificate, signed by an executive officer of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and shall file a copy of such certificate with its corporate records. The Company shall, upon the reasonable written request of any Holder, furnish to such Holder a similar certificate setting forth (i) the calculation of such adjustments and readjustments in reasonable detail and (ii) the Exercise Price, Maximum Spread and number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of capital stock, other securities or other property (including but not limited to cash and evidences of indebtedness) which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.

Section 9. Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. Subject to Section 7(a)(i), upon the consummation of any (a) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an acquiring Person or (b) merger, consolidation, recapitalization or other similar capital reorganization of the Common Stock

 

15


following which the Company is not a surviving entity or the Common Stock has been, or will be, converted, exchanged or reclassified into any other type or class of capital stock, security or asset (each, a “Reorganization”), the Company will secure from the Person purchasing the assets of the Company or the successor resulting from such Reorganization (such Person in each case, the “Acquiring Entity”) a written agreement to deliver to the Holder, in exchange for this Warrant, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Prior to the consummation of any sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an acquiring Person or Reorganization, the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been issued or payable in or as a result of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an acquiring Person or Reorganization with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares that would have been acquirable as of the date of such sale or Reorganization.

Section 10. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly, on receipt of an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company (or, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
