In the event the Company shall at any time after the Issuance Date split or subdivide the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or shall issue a stock dividend with respect to the Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then as of the record date of such split, subdivision or dividend distribution (or the date of such split, subdivision or dividend distribution if no record date is fixed), the Warrant Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents with the number of shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents determined from time to time as provided in Subsection 2(d)(iii) below. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Issuance Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, as of the record date of such combination (or the date of such combination if no record date is fixed), the Warrant Price shall be appropriately increased so that the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.

(b) Recapitalization, In-Kind Distribution. Upon any recapitalization or other event that results in a change of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant or upon the payment of a dividend in securities or property other than shares of the Common Stock (other than a split, subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Warrant), the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before the record date for such recapitalization or other event or immediately prior to the record date for such in-kind dividend.
