(i)           In case the Company shall at any time subdivide (including, without limitation through a stock split or stock dividend) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionally reduced and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased. In case the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company shall be combined (including, without limitation through a reverse stock split) into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately decreased.
 
(ii)           In case of any capital reorganization, reclassification or similar transaction involving the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation, merger or business combination of the Company with another corporation, or the sale, conveyance or similar transaction of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, shall be effected in such a way that holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for shares of the Common Stock, then, prior to and as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, business combination, sale, conveyance or similar transaction (“Fundamental Transaction”), lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Warrant Holder shall thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of the Warrant prior to the Fundamental Transaction and in lieu of the Warrant Shares, such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, business combination, sale, conveyance or similar transaction not taken place. In any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Warrant Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Exercise Price and of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible in relation to any stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant.
 
(iii)           The record date for the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (a) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents, or (b) to subscribe for purchase or otherwise receive any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents shall be the date determined by the Board as the record date for such purposes or, if none is established by the Board, then the record date shall be the date immediately prior to such action.
 
(iv)  Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
 
 
- 5 -

(vii)                      If any adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant or any adjustment to the Exercise Price is required pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant or the Exercise Price shall be rounded up to the nearest 1/100th cent or 1/100th Share, as appropriate.
