shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price
determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
date of determination by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or
distribution and the number of Shares subject to this Warrant shall be
proportionately adjusted.
