Section 5      Adjustment of the Exercise Price The Exercise Price and, accordingly, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
 
(a)      Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger; Mandatory Share Exchange; Sale Transfer or Lease of Assets.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, (i) reclassifies or changes its Outstanding Capital Shares (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value per share, or from no par value per share to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) or (ii) consolidates, merges or effects a mandatory share exchange with another corporation (other than a merger or mandatory share exchange with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or change, other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value per share, or from no par value per share to par value, or (iii) sells, transfers or leases all or substantially all of its assets, then in any such event the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall, without payment by the Warrant Holder of any additional consideration therefor, amend this Warrant or issue a new Warrant providing that the Warrant Holder shall have rights not less favorable to the Warrant Holder than those then applicable to this Warrant and to receive upon exercise under such amendment of this Warrant or new Warrant, in lieu of each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant hereunder, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money or property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, mandatory share exchange, lease, sale or transfer by the holder of one share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, mandatory share exchange or sale or transfer, and an appropriate provision for the foregoing shall be made by the Company as part of any such event.  Such amended Warrant or new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5.  The provisions of this Section 5(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, mandatory share exchanges, sales, transfers and leases.
 
(b)      Subdivision or Combination of Shares; Stock Dividends.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, shall (x) subdivide its Common Stock, (y) combine its Common Stock or (z) pay a dividend or other distribution in its Capital Shares, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, as of the date the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Capital Shares for the purpose of effecting such subdivision, combination or dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is taken, as of the effective date of such subdivision, combination, dividend or other distribution), to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, dividend or other distribution by a fraction:

 
-3-

 
 
(i)      the numerator of which shall be the total number of Outstanding Capital Shares immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, dividend or other distribution, and
 
(ii)      the denominator of which shall be the total number of Outstanding Capital Shares immediately after such subdivision, combination, dividend or other distribution.  The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not apply under any of the circumstances for which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 5(a).
 
(c)      Liquidating Dividends, etc.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, makes a distribution of its assets or evidences of indebtedness to the holders of its Capital Shares as a dividend in liquidation or by way of return of capital or other than as a dividend payable out of earnings or surplus legally available for dividends under applicable law or any distribution to such holders made in respect of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (other than under the circumstances provided for in the foregoing subsections (a) and (b) while an exercise is pending, then the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise of the Warrant in addition to the Warrant Shares receivable in connection therewith, and without payment of any consideration other than the Exercise Price, an amount in cash equal to the value of such distribution per Capital Share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that, on the record date for such distribution, are issuable upon such exercise of the Warrant, and an appropriate provision therefor shall be made by the Company as part of any such distribution.  No further adjustment shall be made following any event that causes a subsequent adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable.  The value of a distribution that is paid in other than cash shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
(d)      Adjustment of Number of Shares.  Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to any provisions of this Section 5, the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder at the option of the Warrant Holder shall be calculated, to the nearest one hundredth of a whole share, multiplying the number of Warrant Shares issuable prior to an adjustment by a fraction:
 
(i)      the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price before any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5; and
 
(ii)      the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price after such adjustment.
 
(e)      Notice of Certain Actions; Notice of Adjustments.
 
(i)      In the event the Company shall, at a time while the Warrant is unexpired and outstanding, take any action pursuant to subsections (a) through (d) of this Section 5 that may result in an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall notify the Warrant Holder of such action 10 days in advance of its effective date in order to afford to the Warrant Holder an opportunity to exercise the Warrant prior to such action becoming effective.
 
(ii)      Notice of Adjustments.  Whenever the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company shall promptly deliver by facsimile, with the original delivered by express courier service in accordance with Section 10 hereof, a certificate, which shall be signed by the Company’s President or a Vice President and by its Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Company’s Board of Directors made any determination hereunder), and the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable at that Exercise Price after giving effect to such adjustment.

Section 7      Rights As Stockholder.  Prior to exercise of this Warrant and except as provided in Section 5 hereof, the Warrant Holder shall not be entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Warrant Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon or be notified of stockholder meetings.  However, in the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall mail to each Warrant Holder, at least ten days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.
 
Section 8      Replacement of Warrant.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
 
Section 9      Restricted Securities.
 
(a)      Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance upon the provisions of Section 4(2) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act.  This Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.
 
(b)      Legend.  Any replacement Warrants issued pursuant to Section 2 hereof and any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise hereof, shall bear the legend set forth at the head of this Warrant:
 
Such legend shall only be removed in the event that the security which would otherwise bear such legend is registered pursuant to the Securities Act and the party seeking to remove such legend provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion shall be satisfactory to the Company, stating the removal of such legend is appropriate.
 
(c)      No Other Legend or Stock Transfer Restrictions.  No legend other than the one specified in Section 9(b) has been or shall be placed on the share certificates representing the Warrant Shares and no instructions or “stop transfer orders,” so called, “stock transfer restrictions” or other restrictions have been or shall be given to the Company’s transfer agent with respect thereto other than as expressly set forth in this Section 9.
