• Effect of Exercise of Warrants (1) Upon compliance by the Warrantholder with the provisions of Section 3.1, the Warrant Shares subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued and the person to whom such Warrant Shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the Exercise Date unless the transfer registers of the Company for the Common Shares shall be closed on such date, in which case the Warrant Shares subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued and such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the date on which such transfer registers are reopened. (2) The Warrant Agent shall as soon as practicable account to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised, and shall as soon as practicable forward to the Company (or into an account or accounts of the Company with the bank or trust company designated by the Company for that purpose), all monies received by the Warrant Agent on the subscription of Warrant Shares through the exercise of Warrants. All such monies and any securities or other instruments, from time to time received by the Warrant Agent, shall be received in trust for the Warrantholders and the Company as their interests may appear and shall be segregated and kept apart by the Warrant Agent. (3) Within five Business Days following the due exercise of a Warrant pursuant to Section 3.1, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to issue and the Warrant Agent to deliver, within such five Business Day period, to CDS through the Book-Entry Only System the Warrant Shares to which the exercising Warrantholder is entitled pursuant to the exercise or mail to the person in whose name the Warrant Shares so subscribed for are to be issued, as specified in the exercise form completed on the Warrant Certificate, at the address specified in such exercise form, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder is entitled or, if so specified in writing by the holder, cause to be delivered to such person or persons at the office of the Warrant Agent where the Warrant Certificate was surrendered, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Warrant Shares subscribed for, or any other appropriate evidence of the issuance of Warrant Shares to such person or persons in respect of Warrant Shares issued under the Book-Entry Only System and, if applicable, shall cause the Warrant Agent to mail a Warrant Certificate representing any Warrants not then exercised.

• Rights of Shareholders The Shares shall be personal property giving only the rights in this Declaration specifically set forth. The ownership of the Trust Property of every description and the right to conduct any business herein before described are vested exclusively in the Trustees, and the Shareholders shall have no interest therein other than the beneficial interest conferred by their Shares, and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of any property, profits, rights or interests of the Trust nor can they be called upon to share or assume any losses of the Trust or, subject to the right of the Trustees to charge certain expenses directly to Shareholders, as provided in the last sentence of Section 3.8, suffer an assessment of any kind by virtue of their ownership of Shares. The Shares shall not entitle the holder to preference, preemptive, appraisal, conversion or exchange rights (except as specified in this Section 6.3, in Section 11.4 or as specified by the Trustees when creating the Shares, as in preferred shares).

• Terms of Warrants; Exercise of Warrants (a) Subject to the terms of this Warrant Agreement (including without limitation, Section 12(d)), each Warrant holder shall have the right, which may be exercised at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the period (x) commencing on the business day (as defined below) immediately following a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending prior to, but not including, such business day during which the Closing Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 of the Trading Days within such 30-day period is equal to or greater than $39.63 (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, the “Trigger Price”) and (y) ending at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time, on November , 2014 (the “Expiration Date”), to exercise each Warrant and receive from the Company the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price then in effect for such Warrant Shares. In addition, prior to the delivery of any Warrant Shares that the Company shall be obligated to deliver upon proper exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall comply with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations which require action to be taken by the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the holder may exercise the Warrants by: (i) providing written notice of such election (the “Warrant Exercise Notice”) to exercise the Warrants to the Company and the Warrant Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Expiration Date, which Warrant Exercise Notice shall be in the form of an election to purchase Warrant Shares substantially set forth either (x) in Exhibit B-1 hereto, properly completed and executed by the holder; provided that such written notice may only be submitted by a holder who holds Book-Entry Warrants or (y) in Exhibit B-2 hereto, properly completed and executed by the holder; provided that such written notice may only be submitted with respect to Warrants held through the book-entry facilities of the Depository, by or through persons that are direct participants in the Depository; and (ii) delivering no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on the business day immediately prior to the applicable Settlement Date (as defined below), such Warrants to the Warrant Agent by book-entry transfer through the facilities of the Depository, if such Warrants are represented by a Global Warrant Certificate; and (iii) paying the applicable aggregate Exercise Price for all Warrants being exercised (the “Exercise Amount”), together with all applicable taxes and charges. The date three business days after a Warrant Exercise Notice is delivered is referred to for all purposes under this Warrant Agreement as the “Settlement Date”. (b) For purposes of this Section 8, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

• Duration and Exercise of Warrants (a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder on any business day before 5:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) at any time and from time to time on or after January 27, 2006 to and including the Expiration Date. At 5:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall expire and become void and of no value. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise redeem this Warrant. (b) Subject to Section 10, upon delivery of an executed Form of Election to Purchase, together with the grid attached hereto as Annex A duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 12 and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in the manner provided hereunder, all as specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 5 business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, which may bear a restrictive legend as set forth in Section 7. To effect an exercise hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless all the Warrant Shares have been exercised. Exercises hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the number of Warrant Shares in an amount equal to the applicable exercise, which shall be evidenced by entries set forth on the attached Annex A. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares exercised and the date of such exercises. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of a portion of this Warrant, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

• Agreement of Warrant Holders Every holder of a Warrant, by his acceptance thereof, consents and agrees with the Company, the Warrant Agent and every other holder of a Warrant that: (a) The Warrants are transferable only on the registry books of the Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing and only if the Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants are surrendered at the office of the Warrant Agent, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the Company in their sole discretion, together with payment of any applicable transfer taxes; and (b) The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered as the holder and as the absolute, true and lawful owner of the Warrants represented thereby for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 7 hereof.

• Duration and Exercise of Warrant (a) Subject to Section 1.2, this Warrant may be exercised to purchase (i) 50% of the underlying shares from and after 9:00 A.M. New York City time on January 24, 2002 (the "First Exercise Date") and (ii) 50% of the underlying shares on January 24, 2003 (the "Second Exercise Date"). Each of the First Exercise Date and the Second Exercise Date are hereinafter referred to from time to time, as applicable, as the "Exercise Date" and collectively from time to time as the "Exercise Dates"). The Company shall give prompt notice to the Warrantholder of the Exercise Date in accordance with Section 7.6. This Warrant expires at 5:00 P.M., New York City time on January 24, 2011 (the "Expiration Date"). (b) The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Warrantholder of record, in whole, or from time to time in part, by (a) surrender of this Warrant, accompanied by either the Exercise Form annexed hereto, or if the Warrantholder decides to exercise the Warrant pursuant to the broker-assisted cashless exercise program instituted by the Company, an applicable exercise form provided by the Company (the "Exercise Form") duly executed by the Warrantholder of record and specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, to the Company at the office of the Company located at 0000 XxXxxxxx Xxxxxx, Suite 1000, Dallas, Texas 75204 (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Warrantholder at the address of such Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company) during normal business hours on any day (a "Business Day") other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is authorized to close or on which the Company is otherwise closed for business (a "Nonbusiness Day") on or after 9:00 A.M. New York City time on the applicable Exercise Date but not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (or 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day, if the Expiration Date is a Nonbusiness Day), (b) delivery of payment to the Company in cash or by certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House Funds, of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form (such payment may be made by the Warrantholder directly or by a designated broker pursuant to the broker-assisted cashless exercise program instituted by the Company) and (c) such documentation as to the identity and authority of the Warrantholder as the Company may reasonably request. Such Warrant Shares shall be deemed by the Company to be issued to the Warrantholder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for the Warrant Shares as aforesaid. Certificates for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form shall be delivered to the Warrantholder (or designated broker, as the case may be) as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 10 business days, thereafter. The stock certificates so delivered shall be in denominations of at least 1,000 shares each or such other denomination as may be specified by the Warrantholder and agreed upon by the Company, and shall be issued in the name of the Warrantholder or such other name as shall be designated in the Exercise Form. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Warrantholder (or designated broker, as the case may be) a new Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. No adjustments or payments shall be made on or in respect of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant for any cash dividends paid or payable to holders of record of Common Stock prior to the date as of which the Warrantholder shall be deemed to be the record holder of such Warrant Shares. (c) With the consent of the Compensation Committee, and subject at all times to, and only to the extent, if any, permitted under and in accordance with, laws and regulations and other binding obligations or provisions applicable to the Company, the Company may make a loan to the Warrantholder with respect to the exercise of the Warrant, including the payment by the Warrantholder of any or all federal, state and local income or other taxes due in connection with any exercise. The interest on such loan shall be the Company's cost of money plus an additional 0.5% at the time the loan is made and such loan shall be made with recourse against the Warrantholder. The Compensation Committee shall have the full authority to determine any other terms and provisions of such a loan.

• Rights of Shareholder Except as otherwise provided in this instrument, the Grantee shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of the Restricted Units or Common Stock for which the Award is granted; and the Grantee shall not be considered or treated as a record owner of shares of Common Stock with respect to the Restricted Units until the Common Stock is issued to Grantee and no longer subject to any of the restrictions imposed under the Award indicated in this instrument, and Common Stock is actually issued and transferred to Grantee.

• Suits by Warrantholders All or any of the rights conferred upon any Warrantholder by any of the terms of this Indenture may be enforced by the Warrantholder by appropriate proceedings but without prejudice to the right which is hereby conferred upon the Warrant Agent to proceed in its own name to enforce each and all of the provisions herein contained for the benefit of the Warrantholders.

• Rights of Stockholders No holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

• Term of Warrants; Exercise of Warrants (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Holder shall have the right, at any time during the period commencing on the "Exercisability Date" (hereinafter defined), and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on December 26, 2006 (the "Termination Date"), to purchase from the Company up to the number of Shares which the Holder may at the time be entitled to purchase pursuant to this Agreement and the portion of the Warrant (or certificate therefor) then held by it, upon surrender to the Company, at its principal office in Dallas, Texas, of the certificate evidencing the portion of the Warrant to be exercised together with the purchase form duly filled in and signed, and upon payment to the Company of the portion of the Warrant Price, as defined in and determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 hereof, allocable to the number of Shares with respect to which such portion of the Warrant is then exercised. Payment of the Warrant Price shall be made (i) in cash, by cashier's check or by wire transfer or (ii) through the surrender of debt, preferred equity securities or Common Stock of the Company having a principal amount, liquidation preference, or current market price, as the case may be, equal to the aggregate Warrant Price to be paid (the Company will pay the accrued interest or dividends on such surrendered debt, preferred equity securities, or Common Stock in cash at the time of surrender notwithstanding the stated terms thereof) or (iii) through "cashless" or "net-issue" exercise provided in Section 3(b) below. For purposes of this Section 3, the "Exercisability Date" shall mean the earliest to occur of the following dates: (i) December 27, 1999; (ii) the date when a Change of Control Notice (as defined in Section 7.4) is given; (iii) the date that certain Consulting and Strategic Services Agreement dated December 27, 1996 by and between the Company and EUF Xxxxxx X.X. is terminated (with or without cause); or (iv) the date upon which a registered public offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of equity interests in the Company is made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 or a successor form, but in no event earlier than June 27, 1998 in the event such offering occurs prior to such date. (b) The holder of the Warrant may also exercise the Warrant in a "cashless" or "net-issue" exercise by delivery to the Company of (a) the written notice described in Section 3(a) above, (b) the Warrant and (c) written notice that the holder elects to make payment of the Warrant Price, in full or in part, by surrender of its right to purchase certain shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant. For purposes of this Section 3(b), the value of the surrender of the right to purchase a share of Common Stock shall be attributed a value equal to (i) the current market price per share of Common Stock minus (ii) the then Warrant Price per share of Common Stock. If the determination of current market price per share of Common Stock is to be made for a "cashless" or "net-issue" exercise in connection with an initial public offering of Common Stock, the current market price per share of Common Stock shall equal the per share offering price without deductions for any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such offering. Otherwise, the current market price shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1(f) hereof. (c) Upon such surrender of the Warrant (or certificate therefor) and payment of such Warrant Price as aforesaid, or after "cashless" or "net issue" exercise, the Company shall, within five (5) business days, issue and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder, and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, certificate or certificates for the number of full Shares so purchased upon the exercise of the Warrant, together with cash, as provided in Section 8 hereof, with respect to any fractional Shares otherwise issuable upon such surrender and the cash, property and other securities to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 7. The Warrant shall be exercisable, at the election of the Holder, either in whole or from time to time in part and, in the event that the certificate evidencing the Warrant is exercised with respect to less than all of the Shares specified therein at any time prior to the Termination Date, a new certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant shall be issued by the Company.
