Stock Dividend, Subdivision and Combination. In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities without payment of any consideration for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Convertible Securities (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms thereof), (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of Convertible Securities issued as a dividend or as a distribution as contemplated by clause (i) of this Section 2.5(a)). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
|
|
(b)
|
Other Distributions. If at any time after the date hereof the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any shares of its capital stock, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than cash, Common Stock or Convertible Securities), then the Company may, at its option, either (i) decrease the Exercise Price of this Warrant by an appropriate amount based upon the value distributed on each share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or (ii) provide by resolution of the Company’s board of directors that on exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall thereafter be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise receivable on exercise hereof, the number of shares or other securities or property which would have been received had this Warrant at the time been exercised.
|
|
(c)
|
Merger. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction of the Company with or into another entity (other than any such transaction in which the Company is the surviving entity and which does not result in any reclassification or change in the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), then the Company will make provision to ensure that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company, or successor entity resulting from such transaction, which would have been received by Holder for the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised at such time.
|
-4-
|
(d)
|
Reclassification, Etc. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a change or reclassification of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, then Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or property resulting from such change or reclassification, which would have been received by Holder for the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised at such time.
|
|
(e)
|
Adjustment in Number of Securities. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.5, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise at the adjusted Exercise Price of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest number of whole shares of Common Stock by multiplying a number equal to 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 so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
|
|
(f)
|
Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 2.5, the Company shall provide notice of such adjustment to the holder of this Warrant together with a statement, certified by the chief financial officer of the Company, showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require a change in the Exercise Price of at least one cent ($0.01); provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 2.5(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

3. Valid Issuance; Taxes. All Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; provided that Holder shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the issue or delivery thereof. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any certificate for Warrant Shares in any name other than that of Holder, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate or security until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company's satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.

5. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company hereby covenants that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time as necessary, will take all steps necessary to amend its certificate of incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or state securities laws. Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to the Company's officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
