Dilution and Other Adjustments The existence of this Option shall not impair the right of the Partnership or Alliance Holding or their respective partners to, among other things, conduct, make or effect any change in the Partnership’s or Alliance Holding’s business, any issuance of debt obligations or other securities by the Partnership or Alliance Holding, any grant of options with respect to an interest in the Partnership or Alliance Holding or any adjustment, recapitalization or other change in the partnership interests of the Partnership or Alliance Holding (including, without limitation, any distribution, subdivision, or combination of limited partnership interests), or any incorporation of the Partnership or Alliance Holding. In the event of such a change in the partnership interests of the Partnership or Alliance Holding, the Board shall make such adjustments to this Option, including the purchase price specified in Section 1, as it deems appropriate and equitable. In the event of incorporation of the Partnership or Alliance Holding, the Board shall make such arrangements as it deems appropriate and equitable with respect to this Option for the Participant to purchase stock in the resulting corporation in place of the Units subject to this Option. Any such adjustment or arrangement may provide for the elimination of any fractional Unit or shares of stock which might otherwise become subject to this Option. Any decision by the Board under this Section shall be final and binding upon the Participant.
Adjustments and Other Rights The Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 13 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 13 so as to result in duplication:
Protection Against Dilution and Other Adjustments 6.1 The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 6; provided, that there shall be no adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 6. Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 6, the Holder shall thereafter prior to the Expiration Date be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
6.2 If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) shall pay a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on outstanding preferred stock as of the date hereof which contain a stated dividend rate) or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or on any other class of capital stock and not the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination, and shall apply to successive subdivisions and combinations.
6.3 In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property equal to the amount of Warrant Shares such Holder would have been entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. The terms of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 6.3 upon any exercise following any such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange.
6.4 If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders of this Warrant) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in Sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.5), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Exercise Price determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Exercise Price on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants that regularly examines the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser").
6.5 If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued rights or warrants to acquire or otherwise sell or distribute shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect, except for (i) the granting of options or warrants to employees, officers, directors and the issuance of shares upon exercise of options granted, under any stock option plan heretofore or hereinafter duly adopted by the Company; (ii) shares issued upon exercise of any currently outstanding warrants or options and upon conversion of any currently outstanding convertible debenture or (iii) shares issued pursuant to the Investment Agreement then, forthwith upon such issue or sale, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received (or to be received, assuming exercise or conversion in full of such rights, warrants and convertible securities) for the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock would purchase at the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made.
6.6 For the purposes of this Section 6, the following clauses shall also be applicable:
Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Shares, or issue additional shares of its Shares as a dividend, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 7(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

Adjustments for Corporate Transactions and Other Events 8.1 Stock Dividend, Stock Split, and Reverse Stock Split. Upon a stock dividend of, or stock split or reverse stock split affecting, the Common Stock, the number of Award Shares and the number of such Award Shares that are nonvested and forfeitable shall, without further action of the Board of Directors of the Company, be adjusted to reflect such event. The Company shall make appropriate adjustments, in its discretion, to address the treatment of fractional shares with respect to the Award Shares as a result of the stock dividend, stock split, or reverse stock split; provided, however, that such adjustments do not result in the issuance of fractional Award Shares. Adjustments under this Section 8.1 will be made by the Company, whose determination as to what adjustments, if any, will be made and the extent thereof will be final, binding, and conclusive.
Corrective and Other Allocations In the event of any allocation of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items or any Book-Down Event or any recognition of a Net Termination Loss, the following rules shall apply:
(A) Except as provided in Section 6.1(d)(xii)(B), in the case of any allocation of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items (other than an allocation of Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss under Section 5.5(d) hereof) with respect to any Partnership property, the General Partner shall allocate such Additional Book Basis Derivative Items (1) to (aa) the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights and (bb) the General Partner in the same manner that the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property is allocated pursuant to Section 5.5(d)(i) or Section 5.5(d)(ii) and (2) to all Unitholders, Pro Rata, to the extent that the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property is allocated to any Unitholders pursuant to Section 5.5(d)(i) or Section 5.5(d)(ii).
(B) In the case of any allocation of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items (other than an allocation of Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss under Section 5.5(d) hereof or an allocation of Net Termination Gain or Net Termination Loss pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof) as a result of a sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset that is an Adjusted Property (“Disposed of Adjusted Property”), the General Partner shall allocate (1) additional items of income and gain (aa) away from the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights and the General Partner and (bb) to the Unitholders, or (2) additional items of deduction and loss (aa) away from the Unitholders and (bb) to the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights and the General Partner, to the extent that the Additional Book Basis Derivative Items allocated to the Unitholders exceed their Share of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items with respect to such Disposed of Adjusted Property. For this purpose, the Unitholders shall be treated as being allocated Additional Book Basis Derivative Items to the extent that such Additional Book Basis Derivative Items have reduced the amount of income that would otherwise have been allocated to the Unitholders under this Agreement (e.g., Additional Book Basis Derivative Items taken into account in computing cost of goods sold would reduce the amount of book income otherwise available for allocation among the Partners). Any allocation made pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xii)(B) shall be made after all of the other Agreed Allocations have been made as if this Section 6.1(d)(xii) were not in this Agreement and, to the extent necessary, shall require the reallocation of items that have been allocated pursuant to such other Agreed Allocations.
(C) In the case of any negative adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Partners resulting from a Book-Down Event or from the recognition of a Net Termination Loss, such negative adjustment (1) shall first be allocated, to the extent of the Aggregate Remaining Net Positive Adjustments, in such a manner, as determined by the General Partner, that to the extent possible the aggregate Capital Accounts of the Partners will equal the amount that would have been the Capital Account balance of the Partners if no prior Book-Up Events had occurred, and (2) any negative adjustment in excess of the Aggregate Remaining Net Positive Adjustments shall be allocated pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof.
(D) In making the allocations required under this Section 6.1(d)(xii), the General Partner may apply whatever conventions or other methodology it determines will satisfy the purpose of this Section 6.1(d)(xii).
Spin Offs and Other Distributed Property (i) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:
(A) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 8.05(a) or 8.05(b), as applicable;
(B) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 8.05(d);
(C) Spin-Offs for which the provisions described in Section 8.05(c)(ii) will apply; and
(D) an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which the provisions set forth in Section 8.08(a) will apply, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula: where: CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; SP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than the “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, the Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note outstanding on the record date for the distribution, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property, rights, options or warrants or other securities that the Holder would have received if the Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for such distribution (or in the case of a principal amount or portion of a principal amount that is not a multiple of $1,000, an equivalent pro rata amount). If any distribution of the type described in this Section 8.05(c)(i) is not so paid or made, or if any rights, options or warrants are not exercised before their expiration date, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.
(ii) With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8.05(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a national securities exchange or a reasonably comparable non-U.S. equivalent (a “Spin-Off”), but excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event as to which the provisions described in Section 8.08(a) apply, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula: where: CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off; CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; FMV0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined for purposes of the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as if such Capital Stock or similar equity interest were the Common Stock) over the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and MP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date. The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8.05(c)(ii) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period but will be given effect as of immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in this Note, if necessary, the Company shall delay the settlement of any conversion of this Note where the Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period until the third (3rd) Business Day after the last day of the Valuation Period. If any distribution of the type described in this Section 8.05(c)(ii) is declared but not so made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.
