d.

In connection with any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or any share exchange or merger of the Company with another corporation, if the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to holders of Common Stock of (i) assets (other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated net income or earned surplus or dividends payable in Common Stock), (ii) evidences of indebtedness or other securities of the Company, or of any corporation other than the Company (except for the Common Stock of the Company) or (iii) subscription rights, options or warrants to purchase any of the foregoing assets or securities, whether or not such rights, options or warrants are immediately exercisable, to the extent such rights, options or warrants have not expired, then the Company shall make provisions for the Holder to receive, and the Holder shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant to, a proportional amount (depending upon the extent to which such Warrant is exercised) of such assets, evidences of indebtedness, securities or such other rights, options or warrants, as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant on or before such record date.
