Consolidation, Merger or Sale of the

Warrants shall automatically become exercisable for the kind and
amount of securities, cash or other assets which the holder of a
Warrant would have owned immediately after the consolidation,
merger or transfer if the holder had exercised the Warrant
immediately before the effective date of such transaction. As a
condition to the consummation of such transaction, the Company
shall arrange for the person or entity obligated to issue
securities or deliver cash or other assets upon exercise of the
Warrant to, concurrently with the consummation of such transaction,
assume the Company’s obligations hereunder by executing an
instrument so providing and further providing for adjustments which
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 10.

|
11.
|
Adjustments for Stock Splits, Combinations, etc.
|
The number of Warrant Shares and class of capital
stock purchasable under this Warrant Agreement are subject to
adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section
11.
|
|
(a)
|
Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. If the
Company:
|
(i) pays a
dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock, in each case,
in shares of its Common Stock;
(ii) subdivides its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares;
(iii) combines
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares;
(iv) makes a
distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its capital stock
other than Common Stock; or
(v) issues
by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of its
capital stock;
then the number and classes of shares purchasable
upon exercise of each Warrant in effect immediately prior to such
action shall be adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant
thereafter exercised may receive the number and classes of shares
of capital stock of the Company which such holder would have
owned
4
immediately following such action if such holder had
exercised the Warrant immediately prior to such action.
For a dividend or distribution the adjustment shall
become effective immediately after the record date for the dividend
or distribution. For a subdivision, combination or
reclassification, the adjustment shall become effective immediately
after the effective date of the subdivision, combination or
reclassification.
If after an adjustment the Holder, upon exercise of
a Warrant, may receive shares of two or more classes of capital
stock of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company shall
in good faith determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise
Price between or among the classes of capital stock. After such
allocation, that portion of the Exercise Price applicable to each
share of each such class of capital stock shall thereafter be
subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to
Common Stock in this Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding the
allocation of the Exercise Price between or among shares of capital
stock as provided by this Section 11(a), a Warrant may only be
exercised in full by payment of the entire Exercise Price currently
in effect.
(b) The
Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 11
and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holders
of this Warrant against impairment.

Certificate as to Adjustments
.
|
In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in
the Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of the Warrant, 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 Warrant Shares issued or sold or deemed to have been
issued or sold, (b) the number of Warrant Shares outstanding or
deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number
of Warrant Shares to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment
