9. Notices.
(a) Whenever the Exercise Price or number of shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company shall issue a certificate signed by its Chief Financial Officer or President, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Exercise Price and number of shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause a copy of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant.
(b) In case:
(i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, or
(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation, or
(iii) of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,
then, and in each such case, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder or Holders a notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (B) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be delivered at least 15 days prior to the date therein specified.
10. Adjustments. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in this Section 10.
(a) In the event that the Company shall at any time after the date of this Warrant (i) declare a dividend on Common Stock in shares or other securities of the Company, (ii) split or subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares or other securities of the Company, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price in effect at the time shall be adjusted so that the holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of such shares or other securities of the Company which the holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event (or any record date with respect thereto). Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall occur. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the event retroactive to the record date, if any, for the event.
(b) No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 0.1% in the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of all Warrants; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 10(b) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, all such adjustments shall be made no later than three years from the date of the first event that would have required an adjustment but for this paragraph. All calculations under this Section 10 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
(c) If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 10, the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this Section 10, and the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the Warrant Shares shall apply on like terms to such other shares.
(d) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to this Section 10, the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price as adjusted.
(e) In the event of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a reclassification referred to in paragraph (a) (iv) above), or in case of the consolidation of the Company with or the merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or of the sale the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation, each Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of Common Stock, consolidation, merger or sale, and in lieu of being exercisable for Warrant Shares, be exercisable, upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant, for the number of shares of stock or other securities or assets to which holder of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercisable of such Warrant immediately prior to such capital organization, reclassification of Common Stock, consolidation, merger or sale would have been entitled upon such capital organization, reclassification of Common Stock, consolidation, merger or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this Section 10 with respect to the rights thereafter of the holders of the Warrants shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as they may reasonably be, to any shares of stock or other securities or assets thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets or the appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to holder of each Warrant the shares of stock, securities or assets to which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled and all other obligations of the Company under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (e) shall apply to successive reorganizations, reclassification, consolidations, mergers and sales.
(f) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, Warrant Certificates theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same Exercise Price per share and number and kind of shares as are stated on the Warrant Certificates initially issuable pursuant to this Warrant.
(g) In case any event shall occur as to which the other provisions of this Section 10 are not strictly applicable or the failure to make any adjustment would result in an unfair enlargement or dilution of the purchase rights represented by the Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles hereof, then, in each such case, the independent auditors of the Company shall give its opinion as to the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 10, necessary to preserve, without enlargement or dilution, the purchase rights presented by the Warrants. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company shall promptly mail a copy thereof to the registered holders of the Warrants and shall make the adjustment described therein.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given by personal service upon the party to be notified by certified mail, return receipt requested and: (i) if to the Company, at the address set forth on the signature page hereto, or at such other address as the Company may designate by notice to each of the Investors in accordance with the provisions of this Section; and (ii) if to the Warrant holder, at the address indicated as such Holder may designate by notice to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

(e) In the event of any litigation or arbitration between the parties hereto respecting or arising out of this Warrant, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable legal fees, whether or not such litigation or arbitration proceeds to final judgment or determination.
(f) Jurisdiction and Venue. Each party hereto consents specifically to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts of the United States sitting in Delaware, or if such federal court declines to exercise jurisdiction over any action filed pursuant to this Warrant, the courts of the State of Delaware and any court to which an appeal may be taken in connection with any action filed pursuant to this Warrant, for the purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Warrant. In connection with the foregoing consent, each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the court’s exercise of personal jurisdiction over each party to this Warrant or the laying of venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party further irrevocably waives its right to a trial by jury and consents that service of process may be effected in any manner permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware.
(g) If any clause or provision of this Warrant is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Warrant, then and, in that event, the remainder of this Warrant shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each clause or provision of this Warrant that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there shall be added a clause or provision as similar in terms and in amount to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable, as long as it does not otherwise frustrate the principal purposes of this Warrant.
