Section 8. ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES
PURCHASABLE. The Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
pursuant to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as

par value, then thereafter the number of shares of Common Stock
which the Holder shall be entitled to purchase pursuant to this

to the increase or decrease in the number of shares of
outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of such
change, and the Exercise Price after such change shall, in the
event of an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding, be proportionately reduced, and, in the event of a

shares of Common Stock (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 a subdivision, combination or stock
dividend as provided for in Section 8(a)), or in the event of
any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company
into, another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or
substantially all of the property, assets, business and goodwill

corporation, as the case may be, shall provide that the Holder
of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, by
exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock

reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or sale by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which this
Warrant entitles the Holder to purchase immediately prior to
such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or sale.
Any such successor corporation thereafter shall be substituted
for the Company for purposes of this Warrant.
Section 9. HOLDER'S RIGHTS. Except as otherwise expressly set forth
herein, this Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any rights of a stockholder
of the Company, except that if the Company, during the period in which this
Warrant is exercisable, declares a dividend upon the Common Stock payable
otherwise than in cash out of earnings or earned surplus (computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles) or otherwise than in Common Stock
or securities convertible into Common Stock, then the Holder, upon exercise of
this Warrant, shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
upon such exercise and, in addition and without further payment, the cash, stock
or other securities or property which the Holder would have received by way of
dividends or other distribution if, continuously since the date hereof, such
Holder (a) had been the record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
then being purchased, and (b) had retained all such cash, stock and other
securities (other than Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock)
