The Company shall forthwith deliver a copy of each such officer’s certificate to the Holder, and the Company shall make all such officer’s certificates available at all reasonable times for inspection by and copying by the Holder.
10. Notices to Warrantholders.

11. Reclassification, Reorganization or Merger. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of an issuance of Common Stock by way of dividend or other distribution or of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such classification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 10 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. In the event that in any such capital reorganization or reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, additional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, in whole or in part, for or of a security of the Company other than Common Stock, any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Common Stock covered by the provisions of 6 hereof with the amount of the consideration received upon the issue thereof being determined by the Company’s board of directors, such determination to be final and binding on the Holder.

12. Spin-Offs. In the event the Company spins-off a subsidiary by distributing to the Company’s stockholders as a dividend or otherwise the stock of the subsidiary, the Company shall reserve for the life of the Warrant shares of the subsidiary to be delivered to the holders of the Warrants upon exercise to the same extent as if they were owners of record of the Warrant Shares on the record date for payment of the shares of the subsidiary.
