In any case, the necessary adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests hereafter of the holder of the Warrant thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares or other securities or property to which the holder hereof is entitled on the exercise of its purchase rights thereafter. Any such adjustment shall be made by and set forth in a supplemental Warrant entered into and approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and shall for all purposes hereof be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
 
(c) the adjustments provided for in this paragraph 4 are cumulative. After any adjustment pursuant to this paragraph, the term "shares" where used in the preceding subparagraphs of this paragraph 4 shall be interpreted to mean the shares which, as a result of all previous adjustments pursuant to this paragraph, the holder hereof would have been entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the number of shares indicated in any subscription made pursuant to this Warrant shall be interpreted to mean the number of shares which, as a result of all previous adjustments pursuant to this paragraph, the holder hereof would have been entitled to receive upon the full exercise of this Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase the number of shares so indicated.
 
 
 
 

 
 
(d) if any question arises with respect to the adjustment provided for in this paragraph, such question shall be referred to the auditors of the Corporation and their determination shall be binding upon the Corporation and the holder of this Warrant.

Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of a bond or indemnity satisfactory to the Corporation, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender or cancellation of this Warrant, the Corporation will issue to the holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor in lieu of this Warrant, representing the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of Common Shares which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder.
