stock then being purchased; or (b) that number of shares of common stock of the
Company having a fair market value equal to the then applicable warrant price
per share multiplied by the number of shares of common stock then being

Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased shall be delivered to

4. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.
If there shall be any change described in sub-paragraphs (a), (b) or ( c)
below, the aggregate Warrant Price shall remain unchanged but the number of
shares covered by this Warrant shall in each instance be adjusted as follows:
a. If a share dividend is declared on the Common Stock of the Company, the
number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant shall be increased by
the number of shares which would have been issuable to the Holder if such Holder
had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the record date related to the
declaration and payment of such share dividend;
b. If an increase or decrease is effected in the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock by reason of subdivision or combination of such shares,
the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant shall equal the
number of shares which would have been held by the Holder after consummation of
such combination or subdivision if the Holder had exercised this Warrant
immediately prior to the record date related to such subdivision or combination
and the Holder held no other shares of Common Stock other than those deemed
issued upon exercise of this Warrant; and
c. In case of a capital reorganization, merger (except a merger in which
the Company is the surviving corporation), or the sale of all or substantially
all of the properties and assets of the Company (each of the foregoing is
sometimes hereinafter referred to as a "Reorganization"), the securities or any
other property to be received upon exercise of this Warrant shall be the
securities and other property which would have been held by the Holder after
consummation of such Reorganization if the Holder had exercised this Warrant
immediately prior to the record date related to such Reorganization and the
Holder held no other shares of Common Stock other than those deemed issued upon
exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
the case of a Reorganization which qualifies for adjustment under this
subparagraph ( c), the Holder must exercise this Warrant (or agree to exercise
this Warrant) within ninety (90) days after written notice of the execution of
the definitive agreement with the acquiror is delivered by the Company or the
acquiror to the Holder.
