    The
Shares are shares of the Company’s common stock as constituted as of the date of
the Agreement; provided, however, that if, and
whenever, after the date of the Agreement and prior to the Agreement’s or the
Option’s termination under the terms of the Agreement, the Company shall effect
a subdivision or consolidation of the shares of its common stock or the payment
of a stock dividend thereon without receipt of consideration by the Company, the
number of Shares set forth in Section 1, as applicable, (a) in the event of an
increase in the number of outstanding Shares, shall be proportionately
increased, and (b) in the event of a reduction in the number of outstanding
Shares, shall be proportionately reduced.  If the Company
recapitalizes or otherwise changes its capital structure after the date of the
Agreement, the number of Shares set forth in Section 1 shall be replaced with
the number and class of shares of stock and securities to which the Grantee
would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if,
immediately prior to such recapitalization, the Grantee had been the holder of
record of the number of Shares then set forth in Section 1.  In the
event of changes to the Company’s outstanding common stock by reason of
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange
or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the date of the
Agreement and not otherwise provided for in this Section 12, the number of
Shares set forth in Section 1 shall be adjusted by the Company as to the number
of shares of the Company’s common stock to be subject to those provisions of the
Agreement.
