Consolidation, Merger or Sale In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the holder of this Warrant will have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken place.

In the event of such a Reorganization Event, the Person formed by such consolidation, merger or exchange or the Person which acquires the assets of the Company or, in the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Company or a liquidating trust created in connection therewith, shall execute and deliver to the Agent an agreement supplemental hereto providing that the Holders of each Outstanding Security shall have the rights provided by this Section 5.6. Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental agreement, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.
Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets, etc If at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, is outstanding and unexpired, there shall be (i) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash, or otherwise, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company’s properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 11. The foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant. In addition, if at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, is outstanding and unexpired, (A) there shall be any transaction (other than the occurrence of conversion of the Bridge Loan as of the Warrant Exercisability Date) as described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above that constitutes a Sale of the Company and also constitutes either (x) a Liquidation Event, (y) an Acquisition or (z) an Asset Transfer (as each such term is defined in the Certificate of Designation for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock) for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is converted or redeemed for the Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designation for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock), and (B) this Warrant has not been exercised prior to the consummation thereof, this Warrant shall be deemed to be automatically exercised in whole through Net Issue Exercise as described in Section 3(c) hereof. The Company agrees that such shares to be issued to the Holder upon Net Issue Exercise as a result of a transaction described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date of such transaction. A “Sale of the Company” shall mean the sale of the Company to an independent third party or group of independent third parties pursuant to which such party or parties acquire (a) Capital Stock (as defined in the Preferred Stock Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement) of the Company possessing the voting power under normal circumstances to elect a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (whether by merger, consolidation or sale or transfer of the Capital Stock) or (b) all or substantially all of the Company’s assets determined on a consolidated basis. For purposes of this definition, “independent third party” means any Person who, immediately prior to such contemplated transaction, (w) does not own or have any voting or economic rights with respect to more than five percent (5%) of the Capital Stock on a fully-diluted and as converted to Common Stock basis, (x) is not an Affiliate of any Person who owns or has any voting or economic right with respect to more than five percent (5%) of the Capital Stock on a fully-diluted and as converted to Common Stock basis, (y) is not Parent, and (z) is not an Affiliate of Parent.
