11. Adjustment. The
Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Merger, Sales of Assets, etc. If at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall be (i) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which the
Company
is the surviving entity but the shares of the Company's capital stock
outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the
merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash, or
otherwise, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company's properties and assets
as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of
such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision
shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and
upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock
or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a
holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been
entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer, all subject to further adjustment
as provided in this Section 11. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 11(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganization,
consolidations, mergers, sales and
transfer
and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are the time
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per-share
consideration payable to the holder hereof for shares in connection with any
such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the
value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company's
Board of Directors. In any events, appropriate adjustment (as
determined in good
faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of
the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the
Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provision of this Warrant
shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation
to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of
this Warrant.
5
(b) Reclassification,
etc. If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired by
reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities
as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a
different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall
thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as
would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the
securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant
immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Exercise
Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 11. No adjustment shall be
made pursuant to this Section 11(c), upon any conversion or redemption of the
Preferred Stock which is the subject of Section 11(a).
(c) Split,
Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at
any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and
unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase
rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the
same class, the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately
decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in
the case of a combination.
(d) Adjustments
for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or
Property. If while this Warrant, or any portion
hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired the holders of the
securities
as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have
received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of
eligible Stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment
therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than
cash) of the Company by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Warrant
shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the
security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any
additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock
or other securities or
property
(other than cash) of the Company that such holder would hold on the date of such
exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon
exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the
period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained
such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid
during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such
period by the provisions of this Section 11.
(e) Certificate
as to Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
or readjustment pursuant to this Section 11, the Company at its expense shall
promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms
hereof and furnish to
each
Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request,
at any time, of any such Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder
a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; (ii)
the Exercise Price at the time in effect; and (iii) the number of shares and the
amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the
exercise of the Warrant.
(f) No
Impairment. The Company will not, by any 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 provision of this Section 11 and in the taking of all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate
in order to protect the rights of the Holders of this Warrant against
impairment.
