In any such case, 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 Agreement with respect to the rights and interest of the Warrantholder after the Merger Event to the end that the provisions of this Warrant Agreement (including adjustments of the Exercise Price and number of shares of Preferred Stock purchasable) shall be applicable to the greatest extent possible.

Costs incurred by Executive and the other holders of Executive Stock on their own behalf shall not be considered costs of the transaction hereunder.
