(i) The number of shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable pursuant to such relinquishment shall be the number of such shares, rounded to the next greater number of full shares, as shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Appreciated Value by (B) the current market price per share of Common Stock specified in this Warrant;
(ii) For the purpose of this clause (a), “Appreciated Value” means the excess of (x) the current market value of the shares of Common Stock covered by the option or the portion thereof to be relinquished over (y) the aggregate purchase price for such shares specified in this Warrant;
(b) Such right of relinquishment may be exercised only upon receipt by the Company of a written notice of such relinquishment which shall be dated the date of election to make such relinquishment; and that, for the purposes of this Warrant, such date of election shall be deemed to be the date when such notice is sent by registered or certified mail, or when receipt is acknowledged by the Company, if mailed by other than registered or certified mail or if delivered by hand or by any telegraphic communications equipment of the sender or otherwise delivered; provided, that, in the event the method just described for determining such date of election shall not be or remain consistent with the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, as presently existing or as may be hereafter amended, which regulations exempt from the operation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in whole or in part any such relinquishment transaction, then such date of election shall be determined by such other method consistent with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder as the Company shall in its discretion select and apply;

(b) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the current value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”), or if not so quoted on NASDAQ then by the National Quotation Bureau, LLC, New York, New York, on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant; or
(c) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current value shall be an amount, not less than book value, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Company’s board of directors, and supported by the written fairness opinion of an independent, nationally-recognized stock valuation expert.

Any such new Warrant executed and delivered shall constitute an additional contractual obligation on the part of the Company, whether or not this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
(c) The Company may cause any legend required under the Act and applicable state securities laws, or advisable in the opinion of its legal counsel, to be set forth on each Warrant.

The Company shall forthwith deliver a copy of each such officer’s certificate to the Holder, and the Company shall make all such officer’s certificates available at all reasonable times for inspection by and copying by the Holder.
10. Notices to Warrantholders. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding and any portion of it shall be unexercised, (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution upon the Common Stock or (ii) if the Company shall offer to the holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any shares of stock of any class or any other rights or (iii) if any capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the Company’s capital stock, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets to another corporation, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be effected, then in any such case, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder, at least ten days prior to the date specified in (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief description of the proposed action and stating the date on which (x) a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (y) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
11. Reclassification, Reorganization or Merger. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (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 an issuance of Common Stock by way of dividend or other distribution or of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such classification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 10 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. In the event that in any such capital reorganization or reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, additional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, in whole or in part, for or of a security of the Company other than Common Stock, any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Common Stock covered by the provisions of 6 hereof with the amount of the consideration received upon the issue thereof being determined by the Company’s board of directors, such determination to be final and binding on the Holder.

12. Spin-Offs. In the event the Company spins-off a subsidiary by distributing to the Company’s stockholders as a dividend or otherwise the stock of the subsidiary, the Company shall reserve for the life of the Warrant shares of the subsidiary to be delivered to the holders of the Warrants upon exercise to the same extent as if they were owners of record of the Warrant Shares on the record date for payment of the shares of the subsidiary.
