If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder.
b. Cashless Exercise.

In the case of any reclassification or change of the Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall execute a new Warrant providing that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant and upon such exercise to receive, in lieu of each share of Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number and kind of shares of stock, other securities, money or property receivable upon such reclassification or change in respect of one share of the Stock. Such new Warrant shall provide for further adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5.
6. LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt by the Company from the Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lien hereof a
new Warrant of like tenor to the Holder; provided, in the case of mutilation, that no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
