ADJUSTMENTS AND TERMINATION OF RIGHTS. The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. If at any time there shall be a merger or a consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, then, as part of such merger or consolidation, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder as the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, to which the Warrantholder as the holder of the stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such merger or consolidation if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such merger or consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Warrantholder as the holder of this Warrant after the merger or consolidation. This provision shall apply to successive mergers or consolidations. 3 (b) RECLASSIFICATION, RECAPITALIZATION, ETC. If the Company at any time shall, by subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities, recapitalization, automatic conversion, or other similar event affecting the number or character of outstanding Common Stock, or otherwise change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted accordingly. (c) SPLIT, SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination. (d) COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such dividend, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend. This Section 11(d) shall apply only if and to the extent that, at the time of such event, this Warrant is then exercisable for Class B Common Stock. (e) ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 11(c) or (d), the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole Share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Exercise Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment. Any provision of this Section 11(e) to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or more. 4 12.

This provision shall apply to successive mergers or consolidations. (b) RECLASSIFICATION, RECAPITALIZATION, ETC. If the Company at any time shall, by subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities, recapitalization, automatic conversion, or other similar event affecting the number or character of outstanding Common Stock, or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted accordingly. (c) SPLIT, SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, any Exercise Price component that has been determined shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination. (d) COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, then any Exercise Price component that has been determined shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such dividend, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend. This Section 12(d) shall apply only if and to the extent that, at the time of such event, this Warrant is then exercisable for Class B Common Stock. Any provision of this Section 12 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or more. 5 13.
