2. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.; Adjustment for Issuance of Additional Securities
2.1. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 3.
2.2. Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrants after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Section 2 to a bank or trust company (a "Trustee") having its principal office in Orange County, California, as trustee for the Holder of the Warrants.
2.3. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 2, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other Securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 3.

2.4 Subsequent Equity Sales. Other than Excluded Securities, if the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while Warrants are outstanding, shall offer, sell, grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or warrants, options or convertible debt (“Common Stock Equivalents”) entitling any person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Purchase Price (“Dilutive Issuance”), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward, but never upward, by multiplying the Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the offering price for such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the then Purchase Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or issuable in connection with the Dilutive Issuance. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the business day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms. In the event the Purchase Price is decreased due to a Dilutive Issuance, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrants will be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance by a fraction the numerator of which will be the Purchase Price immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance and the denominator of which will be the Purchase Price adjusted by the Dilutive Issuance.
“Excluded Securities” shall mean (i) securities issued in connection with this Warrant; (ii) securities issued upon conversion of any securities outstanding as of the date of this Warrant; (iii) securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another business or business segment of any such entity by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all the assets or other reorganization whereby the Company will own more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of such business entity or business segment of any such entity; (iv) securities issued to employees, consultants, officers, directors or advisors of the Company pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; (v) securities issued in connection with obtaining lease financing, whether issued to a non affiliated lender, lessor, guarantor or other person and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; (vi) securities issued to leasing companies, landlords and other providers of goods and services to the Company and approved by the Board of Directors; (vii) securities issued in connection with strategic transactions involving the Company and other entities, including (A) joint ventures, manufacturing, marketing or distribution arrangements or (B) technology license, transfer or development arrangements; provided that such strategic transactions and the issuance of shares therein, have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; and (viii) any right, option or warrant to acquire any security convertible into the securities pursuant to subsections (i) through (vii) above.
3. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 3. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise
4
hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 3) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such event (but for the provisions of this Section 3), and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such event.
4. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant and any Warrant Agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 10 hereof).
5. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial Statements. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant. This Warrant entitles the Holder hereof to receive copies of all financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to the holders of the Company's Common Stock.

No such transfers shall result in a public distribution of the Warrant.
