of like tenor and date.

a.
Stock Dividends,
etc.
i.
Stock Dividends. In
case OTE shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any
class of capital stock of OTE payable in Common Stock, the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be increased by multiplying such number of shares by a
fraction of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the day
immediately preceding the date of such distribution and the
numerator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total
number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or
other distribution, such increase to become effective immediately
after the opening of business on the day following such
distribution.
ii.
Subdivisions. In
case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a
greater number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening
of business on the day following the day upon which such
subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased,
and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant at the opening of business on the day following the day
upon which such combination becomes effective shall be
proportionately decreased, such increase or decrease, as the case
may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of
business on the day following the date upon which such subdivision
or combination becomes effective.
iii.
Reclassifications.
The reclassification of Common Stock into securities (other than
Common Stock) and/or cash and/or other consideration shall be
deemed to involve a subdivision or combination, as the case may be,
of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such reclassification into the number or amount of
securities and/or cash and/or other consideration outstanding
immediately thereafter and the effective date of such
reclassification shall be deemed to be “the day upon which
such subdivision becomes effective,” or “the day upon
which such combination becomes effective,” as the case may
be, within the meaning of clause (2) above.
iv.
Optional
Adjustments. OTE may make such increases in the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, in addition to
those required by this Subparagraph (A), as shall be determined by
its Board of Directors to be advisable in order to avoid taxation
so far as practicable of any dividend of stock or stock rights or
any event treated as such for tax purposes to the
recipients.
v.
Adjustment to
Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted as provided in
this Subparagraph (A), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by a
fraction in which the numerator is equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable prior to the adjustment and the denominator
is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable after the
adjustment, rounded to the nearest cent.
b.
Definition. For
purposes of this Paragraph 5, the term “Common Stock”
shall include (1) any shares of OTE of any class or series which
has no preference or priority in the payment of dividends or in the
distribution of assets upon any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of OTE and which is not
subject to redemption by OTE and (2) any rights or options to
subscribe for or to purchase shares of Common Stock or any stock or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock (such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being
hereinafter called “Convertible Securities”), whether
or not such rights or options or the right to convert or exchange
any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable. For
purposes of any adjustments made under this Paragraph 5 as a result
of the distribution, sale or other issuance of rights or options or
Convertible Securities, the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding after or as a result of the occurrence of events
described in Paragraph 5 shall be calculated by assuming that all
such rights, options or Convertible Securities have been exercised
for the maximum number of shares issuable
thereunder.

6.
Notice. Whenever the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable is
adjusted as provided in Paragraph 5, OTE shall promptly compute
such adjustment and mail to the Holder a certificate, signed by the
principal financial officer of OTE setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable as a
result of such adjustment having become
effective.
7.
Rights of the
Holder.
a.
Without limiting
the foregoing or any remedies available to the Holder, it is
specifically acknowledged that the Holder would not have an
adequate remedy at law for any breach of the provisions of this
Warrant and shall be entitled to specific performance of
OTE’s obligations under, and injunctive relief against any
actual or threatened violation of the obligations of any person
subject to, this Warrant.
b.
The Holder shall
not, by virtue of its status as Holder, be entitled to any rights
of a stockholder in OTE.
8.
Termination. This Warrant and
the rights conferred hereby shall terminate on September 30,
2023.
9.

shall be deemed to have been delivered in, and shall be governed by
