(iii) Unless the Cashless Exercise Option provided under Section 1.6 below is utilized, a wire transfer or check payable to the Company in an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock being purchased upon such exercise.
(b) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the transfer agent of its securities to issue and deliver to the Purchaser certificates for shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant within ten business days after the Exercise Date, but in no event shall such certificates be issued and delivered later than 15 business days after the Exercise Date.
(c) In the event that this Warrant shall be exercised for less than all of the Warrant Stock, the Company shall, within ten business days after the Exercise Date, execute and deliver to the Purchaser a replacement Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the Warrant Stock that may be purchased hereunder.
(d) The Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been issued to the Purchaser at 5:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Exercise Date, and the Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the record holder of such Warrant Stock at such time on the Exercise Date.
(e) The issuance of certificates for shares of Warrant Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Registered Holder or the Purchaser for any issuance tax with respect thereto or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and the related issuance of shares of Warrant Stock; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any income tax to which the Registered Holder or the Purchaser may be subject in connection with the issuance of this Warrant or any Warrant Stock. Each share of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be, upon payment of the Exercise Price, or utilization of the Cashless Exercise Option, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens, restrictions, encumbrances, and charges.

Initial Exercise Price; Exercise of Rights; Detachment of Rights (a) Subject to adjustment as herein set forth, each Right will entitle the holder thereof, from and after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, to purchase one Common Share for the Exercise Price (and the Exercise Price and number of Common Shares are subject to adjustment as set forth below). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Rights held by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries shall be void.
(b) Until the Separation Time,
(i) the Rights shall not be exercisable and no Right may be exercised; and
(ii) each Right will be evidenced by the certificate for the associated Common Share of the Corporation registered in the name of the holder thereof (which certificate shall also be deemed to represent a Rights Certificate) or by Book Entry Form registration for the associated Common Share and will be transferable only together with, and will be transferred by a transfer of, such associated Common Share of the Corporation.
(c) From and after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time:
(i) the Rights shall be exercisable; and
(ii) the registration and transfer of Rights shall be separate from and independent of Common Shares of the Corporation. Promptly following the Separation Time, the Corporation will determine whether it wishes to issue Rights Certificates or whether it will maintain the Rights in Book Entry Form. In the event that the Corporation determines to maintain Rights in Book Entry Form, it will put in place such alternative procedures (as are determined necessary in consultation with the Rights Agent) for the Rights to be maintained in Book Entry Form (the “Book Entry Rights Exercise Procedures”), it being hereby acknowledged that such procedures shall, to the greatest extent possible, replicate in all substantive respects the procedures set out in this Agreement with respect to the exercise of the Rights Certificates and that the procedures set out in this Agreement shall be modified only to the extent necessary, as reasonably determined by the Rights Agent, to permit the Corporation to maintain the Rights in Book Entry Form. In such event, the Book Entry Rights Exercise Procedures shall be deemed to replace the procedures set out in the Agreement with respect to the exercise of Rights and all provision of this Agreement referring to the Rights Certificates shall be applicable to Rights registered in Book Entry Form in like manner as the Rights in certificated form. In the event the Corporation determines to issue Rights Certificates, it will prepare and the Rights Agent will mail to each holder of record of Common Shares as of the Separation Time (other than an Acquiring Person, any other Person whose Rights are or become void pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 3.1(b) hereof and, in respect of any Rights Beneficially Owned by such Acquiring Person which are not held of record by such Acquiring Person, the holder of record of such Rights (a “Nominee”)) at such holder's address as shown by the records of the Corporation (the Corporation hereby agreeing to furnish copies of such records to the Rights Agent for this purpose):

Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the portion of the Merger Consideration or Warrant Payment (as applicable) which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock or Warrants formerly represented by such Certificate (and the right to receive payments from the General Escrow Account and the Equityholders’ Representative Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and Section 3.3), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Following any receipt of an Excess Payment, the Exchange Agent will deliver to each holder of surrendered Certificates, such holder’s pro rata portion thereof; provided, that if the Exchange Agent receives an Excess Payment prior to receipt of surrendered Certificates, then payment of the portion thereof applicable to such unsurrendered Certificates shall be made at the same time as payment of the balance of the applicable Merger Consideration or Warrant Payment (as applicable) upon surrender thereof. No interest will be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration or Warrant Payment (as applicable) payable to holders of Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Capital Stock or Warrants that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the portion of the Merger Consideration or Warrant Payment (as applicable) payable in respect of such shares of Company Capital Stock or Warrants may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Company Capital Stock or Warrants is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by any documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.1, each Certificate shall, subject to Section 3.2, be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the portion of the Merger Consideration or Warrant Payment (as applicable) payable in respect of such Certificate as set forth in Section 2.6.
Exchange Procedure With respect to the Company Common Stock of the Principal Company Stockholders and the Company Preferred Stock of the holders thereof, not less than two business days prior to the Closing Date the PCS Paying Agent shall mail or otherwise deliver to each Principal Company Stockholder or holder of Company Preferred Stock that is a holder of record of certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time will represent outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock whose shares will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the PCS Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates at the Effective Time in exchange for Merger Consideration. With respect to the other Company Common Stock, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Other Paying Agent shall mail to each other holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for Merger Consideration.

In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amount of cash, without interest, into which the shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01. No interest shall be paid or accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.
