(b) If the Company shall subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or issue by reclassification any of its shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the holder of the warrant hereafter surrendered for exercise shall be entitled to receive, after the occurrence of any of the events described, the number of Warrant Shares to which the holder would have been entitled had such warrant been exercised immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date on which such subdivision, combination or reclassification, as the case may be, becomes effective.

The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument mailed or delivered to the holder hereof at its last address appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire an exercise of this warrant. (d) No fraction or a share shall be issued on exercise, but, in lieu thereof, the Company, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, may pay therefor in cash at the fair value of any such fractional share at the time of exercise. (e) Neither the purchase or other acquisition by the Company of any shares of Common Stock nor the sale or other disposition by the Company of any shares of Common Stock shall affect any adjustment of the Warrant Price or be taken into account in computing any subsequent adjustment of the Warrant Price. 6.
