number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had
Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision

- 3 -
securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this
Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange,
substitution, reorganization or other event. The Company or its successor shall
promptly issue to Holder a new warrant of like tenor for such new securities or
other property. The new warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Exercise Price and
to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new
warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, reorganizations or other events.

shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or
otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise or
conversion of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.

Certificate or its by-laws or through a reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of

this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to protect Holder's rights under this Article against impairment.

of Common Stock for which the Shares are convertible shall be adjusted from time
to time in accordance with Section C.4(d) of Article FOURTH of the Certificate
as if the Shares were issued and outstanding on and as of the date of any such
required adjustment

upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued
shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest
arises upon any exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the Company shall
eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder an amount computed by
multiplying such fractional interest by the Fair Market Value (determined in
accordance with Section 1.3 above) of one Share.

Exercise Price, number of class of Shares or number of shares of Common Stock or
other securities for which the Shares are convertible or exchangeable, the
Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish
Holder with a certificate of its chief financial officer setting forth such
adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall
