D/AZS/684796.1
|
- 3 - |
(c) In any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 relating to the rights and interest thereafter of the Consultant, as the holder of the Warrants, so that the provisions of this Section 5 will be made applicable as nearly as reasonably possible to any shares or other securities deliverable after the Reorganization on the exercise of the Warrants.

(e) The adjustments provided for in this Section 5 are cumulative and will become effective immediately after the record date or, if no record date is fixed, the effective date of the event which results in such adjustments.
5.2 If any questions will at any time arise with respect to the exercise price or any adjustment provided for in Section 5.1, such questions will be conclusively determined by the Company's auditors, or, if they decline to so act any other firm of certified public accountants that the Company may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records and such determination will be binding upon the Company and the holder of the Warrants.
