If there shall be any change described in sub-paragraphs (a), (b) or (c)
below, the aggregate Warrant Price shall remain unchanged but the number of
shares covered by this Warrant shall in each instance be adjusted as follows:
a. If a share dividend is declared on the Common Stock of the Company,

by the number of shares which would have been issuable to the Holder if such
Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the record date related
to the declaration and payment of such share dividend;
b. If an increase or decrease is effected in the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock by reason of subdivision or combination of such shares,
the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant shall equal the
number of shares which would have been held by the Holder after consummation of

immediately prior to the record date related to such subdivision or combination
and the Holder held no other shares of Common Stock other than those deemed
issued upon exercise of this Warrant; and
c. In case of a capital reorganization, merger (except a merger in
which the Company is the surviving corporation), or the sale of all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company (each of the
foregoing is sometimes hereinafter referred to as a "Reorganization"), the
securities or any other property to be received upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be the securities and other property which would have been held by the
Holder after consummation of such Reorganization if the Holder had exercised
this Warrant immediately prior to the record date related to such Reorganization
and the Holder held no other shares of Common Stock other than those deemed
issued upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in the case of a Reorganization which qualifies for adjustment under
this subparagraph (c), the Holder must exercise this Warrant (or agree to
exercise this Warrant) within ninety (90) days after written notice of the
execution of the definitive agreement with the acquiror is delivered by the
Company or the acquiror to the Holder.
