Such amendment shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article IV. If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, then such amendment shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such amendment to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the Warrant Register, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such amendment. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances.
