4.3.          Reclassification.  If the Company, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall 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 reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefore shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4.  No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.3 upon any conversion or redemption of the Common Stock that is the subject of Section 4.5.

 

4.4.          Adjustment for Capital Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation.  In the case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or of any other corporation, the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of this Warrant), after the date hereof, or in case, after such date, the Company (or any such corporation) shall consolidate with or merge with or into another corporation or convey its capital stock or all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or other entity, then, in each such case, Holder, upon any exercise of this Warrant, at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, consolidation, merger, or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance if Holder had exercised the Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4, and the successor or purchasing corporation or other entity in such reclassification, change, reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance (if not the Company) shall duly execute and deliver to Holder a supplement hereto acknowledging such corporation’s or entity’s obligations under the Warrant; and in each such case, the terms of the Warrant (including the exercisability, transfer and adjustment provisions of the Warrant) shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance.

 

4.5.          Other Events.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4, but not expressly provided for by such provisions or definition (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors in its reasonable judgment shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder.

 

4.6.          Conversion of Common Stock.  In case all or any portion of the authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are redeemed or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the “Termination Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date, the securities or property that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the Common Stock received thereupon had been simultaneously converted

immediately prior to the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant.  Additionally, the Exercise Price shall be immediately adjusted to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate Exercise Price of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Termination Date by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
