Upon the request of a holder of a certificate representing any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Corporation shall remove the foregoing legend from the certificate and issue to such holder a new certificate therefor free of any transfer legend, if (i) with such request, the Corporation shall have received either (A) an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in such circumstances, to the effect that any such legend may be removed from such certificate, or (B) satisfactory representations from Holder that Holder is eligible to sell such security under Rule 144 or (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of such securities is in effect. Nothing in this Warrant shall (i) limit the Corporation's obligation under the Registration Rights Agreement, or (ii) affect in any way Holder's obligations to comply with applicable securities laws upon the resale of the securities referred to herein.

Stock Fully Paid Reservation and Listing of Shares Covenants (a) The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to issuance. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant and, without limiting the foregoing, will take any actions necessary to effectuate the foregoing, including without limitation increasing its authorized capital stock. (b) If any shares of the Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange by the Issuer. (c) The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect in any way the powers, preferences or relative participating, optional or other special rights of the Common Stock or which would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) not, other than pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated July 18, 2000, between the Issuer and Fleet National Bank, as Rights Agent, issue any Capital Stock of any class which is preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Issuer, (iv) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (v) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant. (d) The Issuer shall not declare, make or pay any dividend or other distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, other than Common Stock of the same class or series (a "Distribution"), with respect to its Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalent unless the Issuer concurrently makes a cash payment to the Holder of this Warrant equal to the product of (1) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property or securities distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalent computed as provided in subparagraph (i) of Section 5(f) hereof multiplied by (2) the Warrant Share Number.
Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary (i) to pay dividends (in cash or otherwise) or make any other distributions in respect of its Capital Stock owned by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary or pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; (ii) to make loans or advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or (iii) to transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, and may permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or suffer to become effective any such encumbrance or restriction (A) pursuant to any agreement in effect on the Issuance Date of the Series A1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Series B1 Redeemable Preferred Stock and the Series C1 Redeemable Preferred Stock; (B) pursuant to the terms of any Credit Facility, Currency Agreement, Interest Rate Agreement, Commodity Agreement, Receivables Facility or Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) of the definition of "Permitted Indebtedness"; provided that the Company determines in good faith that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction at the time any such agreement is entered into (i) are customary in similar agreements entered into by Persons of a comparable size and credit worthiness to the Company and (ii) could not reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Company's ability to make required cash dividend payments with respect to the Redeemable Preferred Stock or to redeem the Redeemable Preferred Stock on the Maturity Redemption Date; (C) pursuant to an agreement existing prior to the date on which such Person became a Subsidiary of the Company and outstanding on such date and not created in anticipation of becoming a Subsidiary, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any other Person or the properties or assets of any other Person; (D) pursuant to an agreement effecting a renewal, refunding or extension of Indebtedness Incurred or Preferred Stock issued pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) above or this clause (D), provided that the provisions contained in such renewal, refunding or extension agreement relating to such encumbrance or restriction are not, in the aggregate, more restrictive in any material respect than the provisions contained in the agreement the subject thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company; (E) in the case of clause (iii) above, restrictions contained in any mortgage, security or lease agreement (including a capital or operating lease) securing Indebtedness of a Subsidiary or relating to property or assets of a Subsidiary otherwise permitted hereunder, but only to the extent such restrictions restrict the transfer of the property or asset subject to such mortgage, security or lease agreement; (F) in the case of clause (iii) above, customary nonassignment provisions entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in leases and other contracts to the extent such provisions restrict the transfer or subletting of any such lease or the assignment of rights under such contract; (G) any restriction with respect to a Subsidiary of the Company imposed pursuant to an agreement which has been entered into for the sale or disposition of Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary; (H) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Foreign Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement relating to Indebtedness or Liens Incurred by such Foreign Subsidiary which is permitted hereunder; provided, that the Company determines in good faith that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction at the time any such agreement is entered into (i) are customary in similar agreement entered into by persons of a comparable size and credit worthiness to the Company and (ii) could not reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Company's ability to make required cash dividend payments with respect to the Redeemable Preferred Stock or to redeem the Redeemable Preferred Stock on the Maturity Redemption Date; or (I) any encumbrance or restriction which by its terms permits payments to the Company to the extent needed to pay dividends on any Dividend Payment Date or as otherwise required hereunder.
